Members King Posted February 6, 2007 Members Share Posted February 6, 2007 Honestly, I don't think she's going to save it or destroy. Say what you will but [!@#$%^&*] is still really a nobody in soap land. And I am pretty sure 99 out of every 100 people asked still have absolutely NO idea who this woman is. If it weren't for EricaKane, I don't think we'd even really know anything about this woman, and I don't think we'd still care. We would have seen the NYPost article, and that's pretty much it. So, since no one knows her, no one will care, and her appearance won't hurt or add to the ratings. JMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members daysfan Posted February 6, 2007 Members Share Posted February 6, 2007 I am on the fence with this....yeah, it could bring in ratings, and I'll bet it will bring in ratings, but a soap featuring a FEMALE VERSION OF OSAMA BIN LADIN AND HIS FORCED EX-LOVER IS PLAYING HER?! This is exciting yet bad at the same time....I didn't think JER would go here, but I'm not really that suprised actually. I mean, first on Days he brought the whole issue with Iraq into play a little bit, and now on Passions he's gonna show us the female Osama. My goodness.......

Members JER Soaps Fan Posted February 6, 2007 Members Share Posted February 6, 2007 This isn't about her writing the show. Think about it: Osama's former slave plays OSAMA on a soap where she BLOWS UP A NETWORK. Nobody will care if they don't know [!@#$%^&*]. They're going to be freaked out, intrigued, disgusted or all three -- and WATCH. This, truly, would be the biggest thing EVER in daytime. And again, JER, MAJOR props if you go through with it. NO ONE will claim a bigger event in daytime. Again, WHAT a way to end a daytime career! JER, it's brilliant! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Juliajms Posted February 6, 2007 Members Share Posted February 6, 2007 I have a really hard time believing this will happen. Will the network really allow it? Oh well, seeing is believing and I guess we'll see soon enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JER Soaps Fan Posted February 6, 2007 Members Share Posted February 6, 2007 Julia, you've asked the best question of them all: WHY would NBC allow it? lol. Still, we have reputable insiders who are hearing about this. And you KNOW how a lot of things are with these big daytime events: they always start with a rumor. So don't write it off. I'm certainly not, especially since I know the insider who broke this is reputable and knows people in high places! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members King Posted February 6, 2007 Members Share Posted February 6, 2007 I feel like this was a radio jockey playing a joke. There's no way *THEY* (the radio people) know how the show will end. And since this has to do with National Security Issues, would the government get involved and halt this? FCC? I'd pretty much stake my life that would never air.

Members Juliajms Posted February 6, 2007 Members Share Posted February 6, 2007 I'm not writing it off, I mean, it IS Passions. If it was ATWT or something I wouldn't even be in this thread except to scream Bull$hit. I'm certainly willing to entertain the possibility. I just think the network would take some flack for it. People are still sensitive about 911. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members daysfan Posted February 6, 2007 Members Share Posted February 6, 2007 King, I was thinking the same thing. Will the govverment be ok with JER creating a feminine Osama and hiring his ex-mistress to do it? I mean, I can't see any people in the goverment allowing a writer to show a female version of a man who blew up two important buildings in our country.

Members KLN Posted February 6, 2007 Members Share Posted February 6, 2007 For the record, JSF, I never 'reported' anything about a witch blowing up NBC, LoL That came from a radio jockey that EK4L heard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members King Posted February 6, 2007 Members Share Posted February 6, 2007 Yes, Yes, Yes, and no. PSNS and JER's recent DAYS prove no one turns in for shock factor anymore. At least not JER's shock factor. Also, from what I've read in interviews with [!@#$%^&*], she'd never play this role or ever make light of ANYTHING Osama has done. Nor would she ever want to play someone named after him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DaysForever Posted February 6, 2007 Members Share Posted February 6, 2007 All of this isn't even true yet, so calm down... I'm taking all of this with a very small grain of salt. Would NBC [the network that friggen airs this soap] even let this "final episode" air on their network?! I mean.. come on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Juliajms Posted February 6, 2007 Members Share Posted February 6, 2007 When you put it that way, I really hate the idea of the government "allowing" or not allowing a writer to do anything. I do think there might be a public out cry and pressure on the network, if there is any truth to this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members King Posted February 6, 2007 Members Share Posted February 6, 2007 NBC probably would let it air. I mean they know no one watches PSNS (in all the ways that matter to them, anyway), and that's the reason they're canceling it. So...I don't think NBC really cares. It's FCC/Bush who would make it not happen, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members daysfan Posted February 6, 2007 Members Share Posted February 6, 2007 I get where you are coming from, and some would be angry, but it's different when a guy tries to air a female version of a man we have been at war with for him attacking us.

Members King Posted February 6, 2007 Members Share Posted February 6, 2007 ALso, JSF, yesterday you were 110% convinced PSNS was staying on the air on MyNetworkTV or Soapnet or Internet, and now you hear this, and you think it's definitely donezo?
