Hey Kenny. USE COMMON SENSE.

Why in the heck would I not assume she was "WRITING"??? She's a WRITER.

You're acting like I've told some great massive lie just because I assumed they meant she

was WRITING for the show.

How the heck would I know she's going to be playing a character?

I was told her interview caused a huge stir and Kevin Reilly thought it was hilarious.

He met with [!@#$%^&*] and arranged for her to do some work for NBC based on liking her from their lunch

chat where she apologized.

Now wouldn't any sensible person assume that the "work" would be WRITING???

Um, basically I think everyone just wants you to report exactly what your source said and not provide your own assumption because people will take that as your sources tell you she's joining as a writer.

Anyone ever tell you that you take yourself a little too seriously EK4L?

Totally Agree!!

If he does have a source then just report what he/she said WORD FOR WORD and leave it be. Putting your personal spin on it and then having that turn out to be incorrect, is going to make others question your legitimacy!

LoL!

You claim to be this great fountain of knowledge, and then when you're wrong about something... "how the heck would I know?"

I'm just saying, Gabe... you should be more sure of things before you go reporting them. I'm not trying to be mean. I'm just being honest. I'm sorry if you're touchy about it.

OK, I won't report anything else. I promise.

Juniorz, I take myself too seriously?

I'm so sorry about that. Please forgive me. I won't be doing that any longer.

And the lesson, kids, is to never assume. Assuming makes things unclear and turns otherwise reliable people into liars, liars, with their pants on fire.

I hope that comment's satirical, because I'd trust Erica with MY LIFE.

I KNOW his sources are accurate and his information is legit. Maybe he assumes sometimes, who cares? That doesn't mean we should throw stones at him. The fact remains: HE BROKE the [!@#$%^&*] on "Passions" story. Got it half wrong, but still broke it.

Ding, ding, ding!

For f*ck sakes...get over it already.

No one is telling you NOT TO POST or BLAH BLAH BLAH...we are just saying, post what you HEAR, if you are going to post something and claim it is from an industry source, you don't need to put your own opinion/spin on it...most of them time it makes you look bad...thats all.

Personal spin??

Why wouldn't I or anybody automatically assume they meant as a writer? She's a writer, that's not a personal spin.

If someone told you Claire Labine is coming to Guiding Light in April, wouldn't you assume it was to WRITE and not

to play Meta Bauer???

SERIOUSLY TO ALL--you should be FAIR, because this isn't fair.

I had no other conclusion to draw but that she would be "WRITING".

Yes, because people will start to doubt that you are reputable after a while if your assumptions interefere with your actual scoop.

Other people who post spoilers do this, and they just put a big line after the spoilers and then state their opinion/assumption or after it is over put something like their name and then their opinion symblozing the things that come after the colon is their opinion. I think that could work for you EK4L.

You do. So you were wrong about a couple things and people are pointing it out to you. Big deal. What do you care? Why bother going on & on defending yourself when you could just admit that and move on?

Personal spin??

This is NOT just about this post or this scoop, this is about tons of other things you have posted here since you signed up at SON.

Thanks for the advice, I appreciate it.

I was trying to give heads up. Sorry to everyone.

I dont think [s.W.S.N.B.N.] would EVER do that. It would destroy her entire writing career

AND her credibility.

She's playing a "WITCH" whose name could also be linked to "OBAMA BARACK". It's Raven Osama-BAMA

THANK YOU!

People, please. Who in his right mind would EVER guess that a writer who is known for writing, is ACTING on a soap that someone says she will be 'joining.'

If Stephen King were rumored to 'join' "X" primetime show, or 'make a deal' with "X" primetime show, NOBODY would thinking, "Oh, so he's playing Uncle Barney!" No. NO, NO.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO~~!~

They would first think, "Oh, so he MUST be writing, RIGHT? RIGHT?!!!!@!$@#$

The same is true for [!@#$%^&*].

I don't fault you at ALL for the mixup, EK. Granted, I agree that you should stop assuming things and just report, word for word, but I won't chew you out for this. It is an innocent mistake.

Thanks for ALL you do!!

OK, I won't report anything else. I promise.

EK, do NOT stop reporting.

Just report word for word. We love you!!

Good lord, I get home from work and there's another cyber battle going on.
