I don't visit any fan boards for MBE and Stephen Nichols. but if its an official site for either actor, and they bash Deidre or Drake, then yes, it reflects badly on them. There is no rational reason for any of these actors to be bashed. The fact that these "fans" can't see that, is scary indeed

My card just arrived in the mail, and I'm glad I'm not the only one! :)

Back on topic, I really like what SN had to say- it is nice to know that their are people over there that are still excited about the show, and seem to enjoy going to work. That being said I am saddened by what happened on DH message board. I understand that maybe her fans are upset about her lack of story/air time, but why take it out on another actor/character that can do nothing about it that just seems alittle silly but maybe that is just me.

No, that's not what I'm doing, and again, don't put words in my mouth.

First off, when the fans of an official message board of an actor/show are bashing a co-star, I think it's inappropriate. Does it reflect negatively on the actor? Possibly, especially if that actor posts regularly and doesn't do anything to stop it. If you look at Kelly Monaco's official board, she asked her members to stop bashing her co-stars. If they don't have anything constructive to say, then they they shouldn't say anything at all. And HER members respect her for that. Now there are some who do as they damn well please, and those people end up banned.

If Dee is aware of what her members are saying, I'm sure she probably frowns upon that kind of behavior.

I don't see how something innocent and positive that SN said about the changes behind the scenes, should warrant fans bashing him. I just don't get it.....

I would have respect for some of these obsessive fans if they said, "I only watch for Deidre Hall; I want Marlena to be the main character. I will hate any character that takes the spotlight off of her, and any actor who says anything positive about the show, while Marlena isn't center stage." But that will never happen! lol

This kind of stuff happens all the time on actors' personal message boards, whether it's DAYS, GL, whatever. Fans are quite loyal to the actor/character that the message board is devoted to and therefore quite quick to judge other actors/characters. It really is not a big deal at all and in no way does this reflect on Deidre Hall. Lots of stars have their websites managed by someone else anyhow, so they're not going to see the day-to-day conversation. Not that it matters, cuz like I said, a bunch of rabid fans-- no matter which fanbase they're for or against-- don't reflect the opinions of the actor.

Meanwhile, if DAYS is looking to trim the cast again, they can indeed start with the Johnson family. I like Kayla, but she's always going to be tied to Steve, who brings nothing to the show anymore. They can take their trampy cum-hungry daughter Stephanie with them, too.

This happens EVERYWHERE.

"I don't watch GL now that David Andrew Macdonald (who??) is gone..."

"I only watch DAYS for Philip & Chloe..."

"I stopped watching GL when Laura Wright left and now I watch GH because she's on there."

Go to any actor pages' message boards and you'll always find hopelessly devoted fans, devoted to only one actor, one actress, one couple, one character. It's not just fans of Deidre Hall or John/Marlena. To think that only Dee/J&M fans are like this is like sticking your head in the sand.

Of course it happens everywhere, and again, I would have some respect for them if some of these fans were self aware. In this instance, we are talking about the J&M board, so it's relevent. And if an actor allows bashing of other actors on their official web site, if reflects poorly on them. And ignorance of what is going on isn't an excuse.

I havn't read any actor bashings yet because I try my best to avoid those threads and posts. But I have to say that I love Nichols blog. Amazing plog. It just felt so good to read it.

I read some of the comments there and someone mentioned getting goosebumps and chills when they read it. Couldn't describe it better myself.

      There was a scene in the past week or two with Leslie looking at some papers and mementos, which included an invitation or souvenir from Alan's memorial service or funeral -- it was dated as November 2024. Me just guessing but it seems to me that Martin's nightmares about the accident are from something longer ago than November.

      I felt for Ted early on but as the story unfolded it has changed my opinion on him. To know he was cheating while his wife was struggling to give him a baby is a lot to deal with. Plus, this happened ages ago and still he's paying Leslie off and threatening her to leave town.  What really caused me to lose him in this episode was how even though he was busted, he still refused to take responsibility and come clean and the way he talked to Martin and Eva was terrible. To tell Smitty he better get Martin away from him when that is his SON who he used to cover up his affair? That is true dog behavior. Ted seems upset he got caught but I'm not seeing the remorse I would need to want Nicole to forgive him. I'm curious how I'll feel after Ted gets to talk to Nicole but I need him to fix it with the rest of the family as well.

      I'm sorry. I well remember Jake doing Doris but I have no independent memory of the story around it.  Krystle with a K Lake, sure, both Tony the Tuna stories & NOT.  And, Jake also impersonated a woman named Bunny Eberhardt but he didn't know she was a woman so there was no drag. This weekend I re-watched Kevin & Mac, GH, and my strong impression is exactly what it was when I watched it in real time: They did not let them look very pretty. Of course, I think the best ever drag on GH was Alexis posing as the Q butler.  In a different use of drag at AW one Halloween, Jensen Buchanan went as Charlie Chaplin & Judi Evans went as, I think, a male gypsy.

      I'm not sure who wanted them to dump REUNION & instead do a "Dallas-like daytime show" but it seems that it def came from NBC to AW through Rauch, so, yes, it absolutely could have been his (cough-another-stupid?) decision!!!! I've just begun the new Lisanti book so maybe I will find out. (I waited for the kindle version to come out.) I would apologize for being so critical & so sarcastic, too, but, well, I'm not actually sorry!  Silverman was NOT a friend to AW.  And, I believe the critique is on point & deserved! I wanted to explain why I think the timing is off for the 90 minute show to be a reaction to the GH Luke & Laura story & its hype. Because, for sure, networks & production companies did react to it! The first 90 minute show was Monday, March 5, 1979.  And, there was some unknown amount of time ahead of that with people arguing about it & then, planning it.  The Luke & Laura wedding was mid-November 1981.  They were on the run from Frank Smith & stayed overnight in Wyndham's Dept. Store early August 1980.

      Yes, I am familiar with Fred Silverman. Agree, the 90 minute AW a very poor decision by Silverman. I think Silverman was behind the decision to go with Texas.

      I really wonder how they'll handle Netflix's usual long breaks between seasons. That girl is going to grow up fast... makes me wonder if this wouldn't have been a better fit for HBO Max considering they're leaning into a more broadcast style of production model with The Pitt.

      I agree -- I didn't suspect Ted, either. I think a lot of people are giving themselves way too much credit in predicting Ted's problems

      And can I have a different take on Ted here? Yes, he's made a huge mistake with this Leslie debacle, and yes, he has to suffer and pay for it. But does that make Ted a terrible human being? I don't think it does. He made a horrific mistake over 2 decades ago, and as far as we know, he's been a good husband and father since. As far as we know, he hasn't strayed or violated his marriage since. He didn't know that he fathered another child, and thought he "removed" Leslie from his life. I won't blame Nicole if she doesn't forgive him, but I also won't blame her if she decides what they have and what they've had more than makes up for what he did. Ted is getting dragged far more than Bill is on these boards, and I think Bill is MUCH worse as a husband and father. How many times did he cheat on Dani during their marriage? How many times did he do vile things in his role as fixer? How much did he hurt his daughters by screwing their friend and marrying her? With Keith Robinson coming in as Ted, maybe we'll see a character change in direction and we'll discover that Ted has many flaws and always had a dark side. For now, though, I'm inclined to both be angry with Ted for hurting his family while also sympathizing with him. I know what you mean, but I do think that was intentional. So much was going on in that episode, and I think they decided not to let Nicole's reaction be lost in all that. Nicole will get those scenes that you're asking for.
