DAYS: Kola Boof blasts NBC Pres. Kevin Reilly

[PhoenixRising05]

Don't even remind me of SSM. That women started the beginning of the inconsitency we saw on Days in the past decade.

Anyways. GO [!@#$%^&*]!! YOU TEAR NBC TO SHREADS!!!

Seriously, we need more women like her. Do I agree with all her ideas? No but I like the fact that she knows fans want to see soaps. She has alot of energy and passion. We know from Days last year and from some of her interviews that she is very in tune on a good portion of what fans want. We need people with new and fresh perspectives on daytime rather then the same old recycled writers all over again.

Love this!!

WAY TO GO [!@#$%^&*]!!!

I've always liked her, but now I LOOOOVE THIS WOMAN!!! She's saying everything we as fans have been desperately wanting to say for years, and she's not afraid to speak her mind at all! LOVE HER!

My favorite part was the stringing Reilly by his balls comment! LMAO!

Oh, how I WISH WISH WISH GL or ATWT (but mostly GL) could grab [!@#$%^&*] as HW. I could see her doing wonders with GL. She's exactly the shot in the arm that the soap genre needs right now.

[!@#$%^&*] Baby come to AMC kick the trash to the curb and write your ass off. AMC needs a writer like [!@#$%^&*].

Dear God, would someone PLEASE e-mail this article to Kevin Reilly, Jeff Zucker, all the head writers and executive producers at all the soap operas and all the daytime heads? Because this interview NEEDS to be seen!

Oh, and since [!@#$%^&*] started it, YES, [!@#$%^&*] you Kevin Reilly!

People still love soaps, you [!@#$%^&*] [!@#$%^&*]!!!

[KLN]

I've e-mailed it to all of them, JSF.

Multiple times.

[King]

I agree with her for once.

[JER Soaps Fan]

You rock!

Now, I think it would be really great if ALL of SON e-mailed ALL the people you e-mailed -- with the SAME thing. The interview.

What are their addresses?! I'm DYING to send MINE!

God, I LOVE her. LOVE her whole attitude, her commitment and devotion to soaps.

She needs to be put on a soap, and fast. Her and a strong supporting team of writers, with a nurturing EP.

Daytime's share of audience is so small anyways, why not take the risk?

I don't understand why Daytime fans lobbied to get her thrown out of Days. It's not like she was even HW.

I didn't really mean that I thought Boof was a nut or that she really is, and I do like her, I was just trying to relate more to where DruR was coming from. Perhaps I should have chosen a better word. Sorry 'bout that....

[DaysGal]

I love this woman!

Glad that she stepped forward and spoke her mind about the suits at NBC.

[Days4Life]

Wow! Why can't we get creative, energetic people like her working in the industry instead of morons like Zucker and Reilly? Why does everyone have great ideas for revitalizing the soaps except for the people who could actually implement them? It's sheer laziness on the network's part to just keep extending "Today" instead of trying to come up with original ideas that will fix daytime, instead of just wiping it out. I'm still furious with Zucker/Reilly for their cancellation announcement about DOOL and so glad that KB has the courage to speak her mind. The entertainment industry as a whole needs more people like her. Then maybe we could get some decent TV to watch, not just news shows, talk shows, game shows and recycled versions of whatever ABC's latest hit was. Have they not learned from "Millionaire" and all the failed copycats of "Lost" that you can't take a great idea and recycle it to death? NBC seems to have given up on daytime, but maybe there's hope for ABC and CBS and someone will have the courage to give KB a chance.

[EricaKane4life]

It's because she's so "weird", she's different, she's "naked" and she's a black Voodoo Doll LOL!!!!!

Only a show like DOOL would bring on someone as odd as [s.W.S.N.B.N.].

JK

But you get my meaning. Fans were totally thrown by her name and the idea of STORM the comic character writing their soaps.

Has anyone read any of her books? I read "Long Train to the Redeeming Sin" and it was fantastic! I'm talking classic literature.

They are totally "black themed", but you still can't put them down once you start reading. I read "Flesh and the Devil", too and

her memoirs which was like reading the Reilly interview only 450 pages long because that's just how she talks about everything

--blunt and to the point.

P.S. I love your pic of Sally Specter! I get a tear in my eye everytime I see her photo man.

[Days4Life]

So if "they" (whoever that is) listened to fans and that's why they booted KB from DOOL, why don't they listen to fans about anything else? I'm surprised that there was much of a reaction to KB anyway; I don't care who writes my soap as long as I'm being entertained!

This is an excellent read! I just want to faint imagining her at ATWT, OLTL or as headwriter for Y&R. I know Y&R doesn't need it, but she would probably be exactly what they're looking for. Cutting edge, original stories while stile having respect for the history of the show. But OLTl and ATWT need it the most. I hope someone has balls and hires her! ANY PUBLICITY IS GOOD PUBLICITY WHEN YOU HAVE NONE IDIOTS!

Look at the ratings increases for GH and Y&R, soaps aren't dying on their own accord. The viewers are there, we just want GOOD storytelling. Ratings CAN rebound, just try!
