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.

    • Leslie and her family are from Chicago? Anita's background also includes being a former Chi-Town native? Might they connect this and go somewhere with it?
    • Honestly who's to say Leslie even birthed Eva, I mean she's a liar, I wouldn't believe a word she says about Eva being Ted's(or hers)
    •   1. 11/1/83 cast/set list:  

      Please register in order to view this content

          The "11/2/83" video you posted of Ruth Buzzi's scenes includes Roman and Hope in them, meaning the video you posted is actually 11/1/83, since Roman and Hope aren't in 11/2/83.   2. The video you posted of "11/2/83" has scenes with Roman and Hope. As you can see from my cast/set list, Roman and Hope are not in the 11/2/83 episode (see above note):   4573...11/2/83: Cast: Mickey, Julie, Doug, Maggie, Neil, Don, Marie, Alex, Liz, Andre as Tony, Gwen, Chris, Eugene, Sandy, Letitia, Charlene, Mrs. Whiting, Wanda/Guard, Dave, Delia, Saleslady # 1, Saleslady # 2, Figure in Dark, Raven/animal, Cats/animals, Birds/animals.   2.  11/3/83 :My video collection starts with 11/4/83. so I don't have the 11/1/83 or 11/3/83 video, but in addition to the cast/set list for 11/3/83, here is also the parking clearance call sheet for that day, showing Ruth was not only in the cast/set list but did work that day:     They even had hired the animal trainer and all the animals for the day, so It's sort of a certainty that her scenes were not cut that day, or it would have been a big waste of the budget. 3. As for 11/7/83, I just fast-forwarded through that whole episode myself. Letitia is in it from start to finish. It's her big final episode where she is killed. She starts the episode saying "Eugene, are you there?" In the next act, Marlena shows up and meets Letitia's lion. Later in the episode, Letitia is killed by "Eugene" (the Salem Slasher in a Eugene mask).   So, as we can see from your own post, the 11/2/83 date you have listed on that video is incorrect, since Hope and Roman are in that video but not in the 11/2/83 episode.It seems the dates you have on all your early November 1983 episodes are incorrect.   When you post videos and suggest that my data is incorrect, do you not first compare who is in the scenes and see if that matches who is in the episode? You didn't do that with the "11/2/83" episode, which based on Roman and Hope being in it means that is actually 11/1/83. Best to do something like that first before suggesting my data and research is incorrect.
    • Within the Dupree family, I predict Vernon/Anita will be conflicted about what to do about Bill and his role in the whole Ted/Silk Press Sheila situation... especially since Bill knows where the particular bone about Martin is buried. Dani, Chelsea, and Naomi's reactions to what Bill possibly did isn't hard to guess.. but Hayley's reactions will be interesting to hear.  Especially given her recent pregnancy scare.. she might not be so much on Bill's side, or she'll totally surprise us and be totally on Bill's side.   Either way, I think Martin's secret will be the main focus in May sweeps.. with the fall out of the Eva secret playing out in the background... while the Joey/Vanessa/Doug thing continues to boil/develop.
    • Hotel was The Love Boat on land but a little soapier. I will forever maintain that Hotel was a time slot hit. I don't believe that 1983/84 Hotel was a better show than Knots Landing.

    • The timing is strange, though. How far in advance would they normally be on location? The Achille Lauro hijacking was on October 7, 1985. Nancy had arrived in Egypt in the storyline by October 18. But the character of Hawk, Chris' Native American friend from Arizona, had already appeared onscreen by September and brought a letter telling Chris to be in Egypt by October 25th.  Why did they already have the link to Arizona before the reason to cancel the shoot in Egypt?  The dust and the jar it came in were from Egypt though. Nancy bought it there and sent it to Mac as a gift before she came back to the states and followed Chris to Arizona.
    • Actually that is not what happened. Nor is the timing right for it to have been. We learned from a WOST interview with Pete Lemay  in 2006, which can be found on YT, that it was Fred Silverman's idea to do the 90 minute show. I don't know how much you know about him but he had these amazing successes as head of daytime at both ABC & at CBS. Then he came to NBC where basically everything he touched turned NOT TO GOLD but to shite. Some of the most expensive shows ever produced up to that time were huge flops. Although even he, like a broken clock, could be right on occasion. However, as we know, he was not right about the 90 minute show. As a matter of fact, afterward,  NBC programmers, who worked FOR him, were asked why they did it & they were quoted as saying it was because they couldn't think of anything else to try. It was a stupid idea from a man who had reached the point where he was throwing anything at the wall to see if it would stick.
