I was in HS when Maureen died. I cried so much and hurt for Michelle, and then years later they did the same to Jenna. Made me stop watching the show. Not to mention the way GL treated Michael Zazlow.
Jill Farren Phelps ruined GL the moment she chose to kill Maureen Bauer. The show never recovered from the loss of this tentpole character. She says she listened to focus groups. I wonder if she ever listened to generations of fans, like me a fifth generation fan, who never got over the loss of Maureen.
Yes, I really liked Joie Bethany's Michelle Bauer as well. I did not like Nancy St. Alban in the role at all. Tamara Braun or Natalia Livingston would have been my idea of the right type of actress to have played Michelle Bauer after Joie left the role.
They had no idea the damage they did killing Maureen off

Charlie Jill Farren Phelps is known as the grave digger of soaps.
Screw JFP and the way she treated GH and Y&R! That beech has no clue how to do Soaps
She was the kiss of death to every soap she "produced".
I read on another thread on UA-cam that later on Jill Farren Phelps regretted that decision.
This proved how important Maureen was to the canvas.
Far too important. Without her the show lost its own momentum.
Great that Ellen Parker got to interact with all versions of Michelle.
Is there more to this that no one has posted or is this it? I'd love to know if there's 'more to it' maybe under a different title.
Joy rocks my socks!
When JFP killed off Maureen during the filming of the kitchen episodes did it occur to her what a powerhouse actress they had in Ellen Parker
I miss Maureen good Actress she was
Loved this michelle..
This will always be Michelle for me
