She was very powerful
She has destroyed many soaps, but she also won them Emmy Awards. However, the viewers hated her and finally managed to have her fired. It says a lot when even the actors can't stand their characters and the stupid storylines. Chuck Pratt is no better than Jill. Apparently, he hates women and he regularly destroys every strong female character on the show. He has turned them all into rape victims or just insane. The crazy story about the psychiatrist who switched the babies. How many babies and paternity tests can one soap opera keep switching without irritating its sane viewers? The stupid story about Jack and his evil double went on and on. The story about Paul's crazy sister, who originally went crazy after shooting Jack - after marrying him, she discovered that he was having an affair with model Diane Jenkins, Kyle's mother. No one can stand the stories about millionaire Devon, Hilary, Ashley, the doctor, etc. Actually, no one can stand any of the storylines on the show these days - not the actors or the viewers. They continue to come up with stupid storylines that make no sense to anyone, and nothing is going to change until Chuck Pratt is gone...
