PSNS: Made my local news via Viewer complaints


Recommended Posts

SO I'm watching the local news this afternoon and they always have a segment called "The Yell"

The anchorman read a letter from an angry viewer who said she would not be tuning back in to WSAZ3 until she could be assured that there would no longer be any gay sex in the afternoon. She also called for WSAZ to stop airing the show.

The anchorman Tim Irr responded that they have no control over the storylines content, and the only way to assure her that she wouldn't see anymore homosexual sex was to turn the TV off from 2-3pm. Bwahahah I love Tim Irr

He then said that Passions has been cancelled and will last air in the fall. His co-anchor Penny Moss responded with. "It's such a shame, I love the show and always watch it when get home from work. I'm going to miss it"

Awww, you GO girl, Penny Moss!

That girl has BALLS. To admit to liking that show, on the air. I mean, that's virtually unheard of. A serious news personality-type admitting that kind of thing on the air. It's just shocking, to say the least!

Once again, props for Penny!

Oh, and congrats JER, for gettin' 'em talkin' again!! :lol:

Recently out-of-the-closet CNN Anchor Thomas Roberts said last year when they covered the Mardi Gras Ball Explosion Gone-Wrong on ALL MY CHILDREN, he called Kate Collins's character, "Janet From Another Planet" and talked about the show for a brief second.

I saw the scenes with the two of them in bed and it was just weird. REALLY weird. And I love the cock, too, which makes it odd that I would be so unfomfortable during the love scenes. But I was. I'm wondering if an affiliate may drop the show if PASSIONS continues to push the envelope with their love scenes.

And Vincent is such a flamer.

Yeah, but even I know that a "Passions" fan is more shameful than any other soap fan, lol. That's why I was especially inspired by Penny's courage to stand up for what is right (liking "Passions" I mean). It takes a truly daring soul to do that.

Alas, I denied "Passions" three times in real life. It was so Biblical and I felt SO wrong each time..

    • You're right. People like me who stuck with her, did so because of her history. The show just skated her along with no story,  no goal, no aim. Right again! This is who I forgot before. When you describe her, it makes me appreciate her more. Thinking back I loved Mandy.
    • Maybe Guza is becoming Y&R Head writer and Jilly will be named EP! Remember CBS installed Latham as consultant and later Mal Young, both of whom took over the show. Of course, they each got credit during the consulting days.
    • Don't forget Carrie, who as Carrie2 was screwing everything in pants, and PPD Reva, who to either get back at Josh for his supposed affair with Vanessa (or just to prove she's more desirable than Van) tries to screw half the male population.
    • Post-production isn't exactly akin to sweeping the floors, but it makes more sense given her CV.  And, it would invalidate any concerns that she has an undo influence on the creative process, as opposed to visual and sound design of the show.  In fact, given her interests, it makes sense that she would want to consult and see the impact of newer technology in a post-production facility.  I could only imagine how much has changed in sound technology since she worked on SB, and that might be intriguing to utilize. As well as their impending move (not as soon as B&B, but we all know it will happen) and helping set up post-production at the new facility. 
    • The last five or so episodes of season 8 after the Jean Hackney story ended were pretty strong with the Laura/Val friendship breakdown, Ben's PTSD with Val trying to help him, and the start of Jill realizing that Val was as much of a threat to her happiness with Gary as Abby was. I always thought that the Jean Hackney story should have ended at mid season at the latest... and then deal with the fall-out because seeing Ben/Val switch roles with Ben in mental decline instead of Val would have been interesting to explore.  And seeing Val and Laura's friendship suffer also was interesting and should have been explored especially with Karen caught in the middle and Abby both intrigued and amused at the conflict that she didn't cause. However, season 8 was the only Latham run season where Val was well written.  
    • Well, she's not in there sweeping the floors at the end of the night, and you don't bring in an award-winning producer to just sit on their backsides (or hey, maybe you do!). Again, without knowing the specific capacity she's in there working as⏤and it seems as if we are not going to at the present time⏤it's hard to speculate/discuss. I would interpret she's in a role that either would not require being credited, or she's, as others have speculated, is back and not receiving credit for the work she's done. That'd be like saying, per the WGA, all writers must be credited, but as we've seen by those who've worked as fi-core, they don't always receive credit.

       And, if my research is correct, per the DGA, you can request not to be credited for work you do. I could only assume the same would be for the PGA, as well.
    • When Anita read Barbara's letter, it started out with the viewers hearing it in Barbara's voice as Anita read silently. And then Anita saying the next portion aloud while Barbara's voice continued simultaneously. And then ending with Anita alone saying the last part aloud. Excerpt from interview  (link to full interview) The rest may be spoilerish -- Only the nonspoiler part here: I love the idea of reading that letter,” shares Tunie. “And at one point in the script, I think it said that my voice joined her, and [Anita] started reciting the letter from memory because [she] memorized this letter. I suggested to Steve Williford, our director, ‘What if it’s like that moment in Hamilton when Hamilton is writing the resignation letter to George Washington, and then he starts saying it too, and then Hamilton’s voice fades away, and then it’s all George. What if we do something like that?’ And he was like, ‘Oh, my God! I just got chills. Let’s do it!’ So, we did it.” I understood that it worked really well, so I’m really happy about that.”  
    • I think MVJ and Guza made a good team in the launching of the soap, and I'm hoping that the rotation of all stories and characters is maintained once he officially departs from the credits. And so far, Ron C's breakdowns have been decent... but they pop only when he's paired with a good script writer like Jazmin.   I hope once Guza leaves officially... that MVJ is able to reign in Ron C and the dread Jamey G.
    • I read that, but my interpretation was that she is uncredited because it is in a non-production capacity.  In others words, she's not secretly producing, or writing, as some had speculated prior to the confirmation. Her likeliest position would be in a post-production consultant capacity. I assume we agree on this?
    • Errol already confirmed she is back at Y&R and in a non-producing role; this alludes to she is not credited for the role she has.
