On The Eve Of Her Return To Port Charles, GH Superstar Jane Elliot Reflects On Her Run.
Mara Levinsky
YOU CAN GO HOME Again

In a roundabout way, GH fans have Deidre 2 Hall (Marlena, DAYS) to thank for Jane Elliot's openness to taking on a soap role.

The pair had become friends while working on the Saturday morning kiddie show ELECTRA WOMAN AND DYNA GIRL - Hall as Electra Woman, Elliot as the villainess, Princess Cleopatra- and after Hall began working on DAYS, Elliot recalls, "I would go over to her house and I would see scripts on her bed and I'd go, 'What is this?" And she'd say, 'Oh, those are my scripts for the coming week.' And she had a life! She had a structure, she knew when she was going to work, she had scripts to learn, she had shows to do, she had a part to play. And I was hand-to-mouthing it, paycheck to paycheck, job to job. Was I going to make my rent this year or was I not? And she had this stable life.”

Shortly thereafter, she continues, “I get a call from my agent one day and he said, ‘Oh, I got a call from DAYS OF OUR LIVES, they wanted you to play a judge, I turned it down.’ And I went, ‘Noooooo!’ He said, ‘I thought you didn’t want to do a soap! You want to do a soap?’ I said, ‘No, no, I do want to do a soap! I definitely want to do a soap. I’m sick of never having enough work to be able to hone my craft. I want more hours in front of the camera, I want more flight time so I get to get good at what I do!’ So he said, ‘Okay, I’ll get back to you.’ ”
