I, for one, will not miss Avery. I never took to the character. Is Joe leaving with her? I hope not…oh, I know….why don’t Avery and Dylan be a couple again and leave together?

By the way….who else thinks that the Jack we saw today at Nikki’s INTERVENTION! was the real thing…I mean, the real Jack? Did he ,perhaps, intercept and ambushed Fake Jack?

I hope she doesn’t leave. I have always liked Avery, and now
that she and Phyllis have grown closer, they represent pretty
much the only female friendship on the show, too.

No doubt Pratt’s poison pen will give us a gag inducing exit for the Avery character.

I like the actress never was wild about her character the grapevine says her exit is going to be pretty traumatic. My guess is she uncovers some evidence about Fake Jack and kills her to keep her from telling Phyllis. Just please that is all holy have this have nothing to do with the character of Sharon let’s give that a rest.

Love this actress but the character of Avery has always been ill conceived at best…..and pointless at worst. I hope she finds new work quickly. She is blonde and attractive….and on Phelps/Pratt shows…that means she will more than likely die a violent and awful death. HiJack will probably kill her and then Phyllis will go all Postal on his ass!

I’m disappointed to hear this. I like Avery, and Jessica Collins is great. I hope the character is written out respectfully, but I saw the rumors. I hope Collins finds new work very soon. I’d like to see her on GH.

I like Jessica Collins and I like Avery. Very enjoyable to watch on screen. I do not like all the plot lines. I liked the idea of a solid do-gooder type among the denizens of Genoa City, and that she was the opposite of Phyllis.

I’m pretty sure this will just the first of many to make the exodus from the show. Sadly, I can’t blame any of them if they do leave. I wish her all the best & hope to see her somewhere where the writers & EP appreciate her talent and write to her strengths.

I appreciate all the characters on the show so I wish she didn’t have to leave.

Thank goodness!!!!! Avery was boring as H%LL.

I really like Avery, however, I’m not crazy about the way she was written since Joe arrived on the scene. I can’t understand how such a big deal was made about Avery leaving Nick for Dylan only to change her mind once again. It makes no sense. I’ll miss JC and wish her well in the future.

Cannot say I’m surprised; the character of Avery changed from a strong and formidable lawyer to a man-hungry cook. The character kept changing. Maybe some time away will help bring some freshness for the character, and she can return down the line because I do like Avery and the connections she’s made with the cast of characters.

The Steve Burton Show loses another one…

Don’t forget your recipes!

I’m angry,I like the character and actress.
If Pratt is behind it,expect more,he likes to kill off characters,he destroyed All My Children..

omg…. i cant believe this!!!!…. just as i was enjoying her protrayal as avery!
in fact joe/ avery/ dylan/ sharon quad is the only storyline i look forward to because its classic love story which is the only believable story from the writers as of now!
she looked stunning yesterday in blue with her hair pulled back when she fell on the couch with joe! both actors are so gorgeous to look at!
jessica on behalf of a longtime y n r viewer i apologize for the imposter writing team currently penning the show which matches the hideous story of imposter jack!
hope to see u back soon when the real y n r returns… in the mean time i will be leaving from viewing the show as well!

I have wanted her to leave since she joined. She is just so cold. Don’t know if it’s her acting, her, or the character, but she has never vibed with me.

Let’s face it, Jessica Collins is sub par in this role. She came on with a poor excuse with the angry sibling role and then tried to turn her into a heroine that nobody rooted for. Her coupling with Dylan always seemed faked and this “relationship” with her ex, Joe is nothing short of stupid. The best thing about Avery is her apartment on the show. Great colors and design. While I hate what the Pratt/Phelps regime is doing to Y&R as a whole I can’t be sad that this character is going away. My only fear is that with Jessica Collins going that the character of Michael Baldwin will be leaving too. After all neither of them show up for work very often at the law firm and I have noticed that Christian LeBlanc is spending ALOT of time with various cast members of GH. Take a look at Twitter for that story.

I am devastated! Just devastated. Looks like I found the right time to give up Y&R. JFP is destroying the show.

Gh needs a blonde! ;)))

Although I always had mixed feelings about the character, I thought the actress always did what she could do with the material they gave her. This character had a lot of potential that was never realized and although I didn’t hate this character, I will not miss the character. However, I am not looking forward to the character coming to some horrible end.

I don’t think writers should use violence as a plot device. Soaps reflect life, so yes there can be stories that contain violence. But when we had three murders in a row- Austin, Courtney and Kelly– another murder takes it from the realm of storytelling to cliche and sensationalism. And if there is more to come then it becomes absurd– like the mass killings on Days a few years back. The backlash became so bad they ended up rehiring all the people they had murdered. And that was Days, a soap known for such things. I think Y&R core audience will be less forgiving.

Ohhh goodie!
A kill-off!
Pratt will use the opportunity for a kill..
He is at his best when he writes death by action..
Hope Pratt makes it good..

ahh now I see why Kelly Sullivan/ Sage was put on contract (more money in the exit pot.

She would be a welcome addition to the GH or DAYS canvas, just sayin!

This was a surprise, but not totally unexpected or disappointing. Avery was always a dull character, and while Jessica Collins is a fine actress, Avery never really had a purpose. Her only real tie to the show is Phyllis; they had to bring in Dylan and Joe as men from her past just to give her a story. Speaking of Joe, hopefully this means that he’s leaving GC too, because he’s another useless character.

I can only imagine what Pratt had in store for Avery. In fact, I’m really curious to find out, because in the last decade or so, Y&R has done a great number of things that can be considered “the worst thing the soap has ever done.” Whatever the case may be, I know I probably won’t enjoy Avery’s exit whatsoever.

I have always liked Avery and I”m sorry to hear this news. Not sure why there are so many haters. Avery is luminous and smart and brought a breath of fresh air to the show. Unfortunately, she was never given a good love interest or a good storyline, but she managed to make Avery something other than “a woman in need of a man”. I wish Jessica Collins well. She is so talented – good for her getting off the ship before it sinks to the bowels of hell.

I hope she left on her own accord. Putting her with Joe looked like backburning to me. Avery was boring so I won’t miss the character. Best of luck to her.

I wish her the best,but I won’t miss the character. very boring and bland

Very big surprise, Pratt is killing this show.

I couldn’t have said it better DW you have said it in one !

Exonerating Sharon on those “murder by active volcano” charges. Carrying around a lucky rock. Dumping the gorgeous Nick for the sainted secret cult baby. Starring in an Internet cooking show.

With a list of accomplishments like that, I’m surprised this character lasted as long as she did.

Thank you, a worthless character. Maybe alway angry Lily can go with her.

Buh-bye, Avery! Take your cupcakes with you on the way out the door.

Susan lucci was right charles pratt is ruining the show

I’ll really miss Jessica on my screen. I was intrigued by her presence and performance right from the beginning. She’ll be a wonderful asset to any project that has the good fortune to land her!

I am glad to see Avery go. Her character was brought in so Phyllis would have some type of family and she hasn’t caught on with many viewers. My bet is that Yack kills her and Phyllis thinks Jack did it. This is the “digging” we have heard about Phyllis doing (more drama to try to get us to buy Gina Tognoni in the part as Phyllis which I respectfully do not) and it costs her the only family she has aside from Summer. It was only a matter of time before they let her go since she isn’t related to ANY core family in Genoa City. I don’t think she will be the last one to go either….Maybe they can take “Herb” (OOPS I mean Sage) with her.

And we perhaps will also lose Scott Elrod (Joe Clark) in the process too. There’s really no reason to keep him around as he is not really connected to anyone on the canvas other than being Avery’s ex-husband. Like GH, I think Y&R is trimming it’s cast down a bit.

I never thought I would long for the days of the Grujon Reliquary and Brad Carlton’s powerful neck-snapping thighs.

Not sad to see her go. She is pretty and a pretty good actress. Her character just took a nose dive! Having said that, I just dont get it, they ax her but keep Summer, Devon, Joe, Stitch and Lilly. SUCKSVILLE!

Ms. Collins I do not use Twitter so I will get a letter sent to you I just got it confirmed YOU chose not to resign my opinion of you just increased to 110 percent not to let a writer degrade you! Class Act and best luck in your future!!!!

I like Jessica Collins and her recipes and eclectic home ideas. I never grew very attached to the character. Avery and Dylan sounded good – but they were not exciting as a couple. Jessica Collins is talented I am sure she will pop up soon. I wish she would bring her food acumen from YT to Food Network….maybe even liven up Days if Josh Griffith can salvage the titanic in time.

I am not quite sure where Avery’s exit for Dylan’s character. I do not like Sharon Case and Steve Burton on the show. If Pratt and JFP are going to stick Steve in a too goody good “Jason” role. Then , I hope Steve can return to Port Charles. Ron could create a great Jason and Jake story.

I was never a Jasam fan and to me putting Dylan with Sharon is just another variation of that same theme. I thought Steve Burton was a long standing FOJ. If Pratt rolls Dylan to Sharon – maybe Jill doesn’t have the power and credibility she once had. Steve will always be well loved on GH. South the robust cast GH has now – they could work something out for his family time and commute.

Jessica Collins is a talented actress stuck in an uninteresting role at YR. However, for the show to keep Kelly Sullivan in an equally uninteresting role and story baffles me. Jessica is exceptionally more talented than Kelly.

Very concerned about YR more everyday.

I’m glad Avery is leaving. She, Dilan, Joe, Neil, Devon, and Hillary have the most boring roles. The sluttish crap that Devon and Hillary are doing is not riveting. They are not a good fit…I guess. Poor Jack, how did he get caught up in this pathetic double role. End the darn two Jacks and come up with something that is more captivating. Oh and not to get started with the mystery killing and the captain is sharing information with KIDS!!!! The whole Y&R have a lot of junk episodes. Not one scene is intriguing at this time.

I’m not surprised as the character never took off and came off boring and pretty useless in the grand scheme of things. I figured with a new head writer who is looking to pull forth some kind of dynamic feeling in the show he has to cut the ones that are not so dynamic in order to make the show shine brighter. Her lack of story or character has nothing to do with Chuck Pratt as she has been lingering like this since day one. Is it possible to reference the show without pissing on Chuck Pratt? He hasn’t been with the show long enough to warrant assumptions of failure. Quit the expectations and see where this leads and it can’t be any worse than the last what 3 to 4 yrs of blah!

I dont know if they have significant others, but I would like to see them together in real life. I like them both. All The Best to you Jessica!!!!!!.

My hope is that Avery is not killed. I took a while to warm up to the character, and actress, but they have almost destroyed her with her Joe guilt, and the vehement way she has taken on Nick’s cause to keep Sharon away from Faith. This show has done a poor job of showing the real explanation for Sharon’s actions, Except for the part about the medication. Bipolar people get completely out of hand, if they do not take care of themselves, and take their meds. They just have most characters (well mostly Newman’s) treating her as if she is just a nut. Mental Illness is serious, and like I said, I don’t think this has helped educate people regarding this illness. If they are going to get into a topic like this, they need to do it right, or not at all. Sorry, a little off track, but this really is something I feel strongly about.

CBS, please reconsider and don’t let Jessica Collins go. There will be a real void without her. She is needed on this soap.

Why is she OUT. Need to get cry baby and man chaser Sharon Case off. She has such a stronger character to play and does a good job. All sharon is mess around in every’s business. They need her out. I fast forward her scenes

Please Y@R and CBS, please reconsider and don’t kill Avery off. She is a vital part of this soap and is needed on here.

Jessica Collins is such a good actress and was the one woman on the soap that was not needy. Get rid of Sage and Kyle instead.

Jessica is so talented and beautiful. I will miss her on the show as Avery. It makes me sad she’s leaving. I’d rather they didn’t
kill the character off. I look forward to seeing her elsewhere acting. My only hope is that Avery takes Joe with her (then dumps him on the side of the road!) Best wishes Jessica! You are a beautiful talented actress!

i like her, I thought she played a good part.
