From SOD:

Carolyn Hinsey: Jack and Katie get married this week, which makes me wonder what kind of mail you're getting from Carly fans.

Terri Columbino: I don't read my mail and I don't read the Internet anymore because it makes me mad. Carly can do no wrong, and Katie is the ***** in all this?

C: Katie had her fans too, but the Carly fans are more vocal. Were all the opinions starting to affect how you play her?

T: Yes. it started making me wimp out on scenes because I wanted people to like me. But I don't care of the (Carly) fans hate me anymore. People are flawed. I'm over it. I'm bring Katie's spunk back.

C: It's so weird, like if Carly and jack don't end up together then the Carjackers have "Lost"

T: Right, You should write an article on the psychology of that. Because they really feel like they're losing.

Yep we hear it constantly. I agree, that blame belongs with McT, Frons & Carruthers.

Anyways to think I used to adore Terri. Now I just want her to leave ATWT already. I'm beyond sick of Henry being nothing but a prop for Fluffy

^But if you get rid of Katie, you probably won't see Nancy anymore.

Nancy could be Alison's confidante again. Or heck, anyone else's. :) Faith needs some guidance.

I'd like to see Nancy and Carly have a love/hate thing LOL.

Yep or let her and Alison be friends

I'd rather they reestablished the relationship with Chris which played out when Paul Korver played the part, once he comes back.

I loved their relationship! I enjoyed her friendship with Alison but the rest of the Hughes were very much involved. In the little we see of Nancy, I want to see her with her family. I still hate that she wasn't involved with Casey. I would love a few scenes with Chris when he returns! The way she was used last week just to prop up Katie was ridiculous. As if she would really give those pearls to Katie instead of somebody in her own family!

Wow...I can't believe people can side with an actress that sounds so arrogant and bitchy. Teri alienated some of her own fans when Paul Leyden returned, and now she's gone out of her way (along with Handmaiden Hinsey's help) to bash another group. (and let's not kid ourselves, she's painting ANYONE who doesn't like the Jack/Katie story with the same brush...). Teri said herself she was unhappy with the writing for Katie earlier this year. I don't see where the "writing" for Katie has improved, other than the entire town praising her for "being mature". She even said "she's getting Katie's spunk back..." I guess she doesn't recognize this "Katie" either.

Word! TC is no innocent victim of hateful fans here. TC was a bitch to the Matie fans who loyally supported her even as the Skatie fans turned on Katie sans Simon. Yet when Paul Leyden returned, she turned her back on the Matie fans, did an exclusive chat with Skatie fans and funded their board. She then proceeded to blame the Matie fans when they expressed their unhappiness that she never made an effort to do a chat when they were supporting Matie. TC has taken on the personality of a soap diva and she isn't famous enough to have one.

PJ you know I love you, but it was stated in the magazines shortly after Sarah's departure that the hatemail she receieved from some in the Carly/Jack fanbase helped her in her decision to leave the show. I'm sorry, but when fans send threatening mail, wishing death upon you and/or your kids, that's too damn far and I don't blame her for leaving.

For the record, I don't want anything to think I'm arguing or anything. But I know my post will sound this way....

God forbid an actor or actress show that they happen to like one pairing over another. It's not like Terri was at a fan event with Mark Collier, a fan asks her which Mike she liked working with the best, and she says something like "Shawn Christian because he was like the best Mike ever.".....while Mark is onstage (::cough::cough::Rebecca Herbst::cough::cough:). Actors have preferences too. They know many fans have their favorites and it's totally unfair to ignore one fanbase while promoting another (::cough::cough::Rebecca Herbst::cough::cough:.

I remember when all that BS went down between Terri and the Matie/Skatie fans. And IMO, Terri got a raw deal. They got mad b/c she did an interview with the Skatie board? Maybe the other times when the Matie fans asked her, she didn't have the time, and managed to have the time when the Skatie board asked her to. I'm not making excuses for her, I'm just saying.

There are people in fanbases that swear allegiance to one couple and one couple only, and if the actor EVER shows any interest in another, they turn on them. It happens, and I think those kind of fans give many a bad name.

PS...I don't think Terri ever worked with Shawn Christian, but I was just using that as an example (::cough::cough::Rebecca Herbst::cough::cough:)

Exactly. Why can't people just support who they like and leave everyone else alone?

I hate the idea that a vocal fanbase can control the direction of the show. It's just ridiculous. When I hear about fans sending actresses hate mail I end up hoping that they don't get what they want. It's so obvious that the show is going back to CarJack, so why harass TC?

For my part I'd be thrilled to see CarJack break up for good.

ITA with what you've said and that goes for any soap. I think some of these couple fanbases are limiting the actors and their stories when they insist that certain couples be together year after year. I've never hated CarJack nor been a fan of them but I hope the writers don't let a fanbase control the direction of CarJack.

Ive been disgusted by some of the hate Ive seen thrown her way. I wish people would give her a break bc she's just an actress doing her job. I hate it when fans blur the lines of fantasy with reality and it isnt fair that the actor has to suffer bc of it

I never thought of it that way before, but erosion in viewership could also be attributed to these inflexible fans tuning out when their favorite couples are in jeopardy. "I only watch for Luke & Noah," etc. I haven't yet seen a show so bad that only 2 characters retain my interest.

I have, but those characters usually aren't a couple. There have been times on GH and ATWT when I was only watching for the vets.

Great post!

Btw. I'm not arguing either if anyone thought I was after having a diffent opinion then some others.
