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.

WORD PJ! Katie is written to never be wrong, basically that people want to bow down at her alter. Ugh. She's ATWT's version of Ryan Lavery and Babe Chandler

Before I even finished reading your post, I immediately thought about those two AMC characters.

I recall a lot of folks saying that Katie and Carly were similar in so many ways; and that the similar traits was what sort of attracted Jack to Katie.

All in all, I stand by what I say. I dislike the character, but like the actress...

No way in hell, Carly and Katie are NOTHING alike. That's like blasphemy to me LOL

I didn't say they were....I said that some folks in the past were saying that....LOL please don't bite me in two

My problem is the show has never dared mention Carly and Katie's similarities, or that Jack might be attracted to Carly's qualities in Katie. I don't find them that similar (because Katie is a disloyal bitch to anyone she calls friend), but the show refuses to do anything but say "Katie's matured" and "Carly is Carly" now and forever.

Katie has matured!! and carly is.. well still acting the 14 yearold she has for years.

Carly is a selfish whinny bitch who will do whatever it takes to get whatever she wants when she wants it how she wants and she someone makes it all okay in her head - katie does the same thing, but sometimes at least shows remorse.

and let me just say that both TC & MW are simply AMAZING and STUNNING!!

Brad actually pointed them out to Jack on more than one occasion. I'll see if I can find a quote or something for you.

I think Katie and Carly are similiar in the way they are both willing to do whatever it takes to get what they want. Aside from that and being blonde, I don't think they're similar at all. Their personalities are completely different.

Please, don't bother. Brad, Henry or Margo saying it doesn't count. I want to hear JACK say it, and acknowledge it.

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:)

ITA Ryan and they(Matie Fans) also said mean/vile things about Terri when she agreed to do a chat session for the Skatie Fans. I mean she was freaking reamed on the Matie board for that. I feel bad for her to. The Katie bashing is out of control.

I love everyone, and I'm not arguing anyone's viewpoints at all.

I was posting in that message board that slammed Terri left and right; and they did it in such a nasty manner too; all because of her wanting to honor something to a different fanbase than the one they (Matie fans) wanted her to.

I read the comments and they were downright NASTY....In fact, I made mention of those comments to Ryan at the time that they happened....

While I don't like the character of Katie as I once did, I do like Terri Colombino....and to add irony of it all, I got an autograph photograph in the mail from her...so, in some light, she must read some of her mail/emails that come to her.

LOL yep remember I showed them to you? I think you, me, and Ryan were all talking about that back then. I remember it to and read it as well.

Please, don't bother. Brad, Henry or Margo saying it doesn't count. I want to hear JACK say it, and acknowledge it.

Oh. Well, I think he said something about knowing who Katie is and what she is capable of early on in this story, but I think that's about it. I can't imagine why he would say anything about the two of them being similar now. Katie isn't who she used to be.

What I find funny is that folks who bash Katie are haters, while those who bash the character of Carly are justified. I'm not saying it about anyone here, but based on other boards I've been on.

Both characters to me are way beyond flawed; it's not the actreses that make them that way; it's the writing.

It would be nice if Passante could actually write their women characters as strong, independent women, rather that women that:

Desperately need a man or desperately need to have a baby.
