The big deal is, unfortunately, is that she wreaked havoc around here and on World of Soap Themes. Jeopardized the reputation of this site, risked to destroy long-running friendships, offended everyone who crossed her path, made a mockery of herself and all connected to her and so on. The list has no end.

But the biggest deal is that she didn't have the guts to admit who she was (EricaKane4Life) and didn't have the integrity, sincerity or whatever human quality you want to apologize and admit to all those appalling deeds. That will forever be a stain so big and unremovable, that no Tide or any other detergent will ever remove.

And yes, Vee, she will never work in daytime. Never.

Fine. I went from believing she existed and was a potentially promising writer for daytime, to not being able to take a thing about the woman at face value, even her actual existence, and never wanting to hear her name again. If you think that's threatening to anyone but her reputation, more power to you. But this is not some proving ground for new daytime professionals. Nobody will get a break from this message board.

Ha ha!!!!

Glad you married yourself to all that Sylph, because I WILL enjoy watching you eat crow later.

I also believe Ms. Voof when she says that she was NOT erica-whoever and that a bunch of looney-tunes

have fabricated lies and innuendo about her.

Apparently she DID come to SON and register AFTER the accusations were made, but before

that, she says she was too busy writing the novels that are coming up.

She seemed, during her "reading", to be quite intelligent and level-headed.

Evem "Normal", dare I say.

She also has some pretty major things coming up, and I do wonder how she got all those books

written while supposedly being responsible for the fall of the internet.

The thing about life, Sylph, is that all it takes is one "Successful hit" somewhere---and bam---somebody

you thought was OUT....is suddenly back IN.

The people in charge today---probably won't be the people in charge down the road. And judging by

the famous people who came to Ms. Voof's reading, I'd say she has pretty strong connections and

supporters.

I would "never" be presumptuous enough to say never.

One thing IS for sure--"Days" is going off the air, and that will probably prompt some other soaps

to be cancelled as well.

But I think Ms. Voof's career is only beginning.

Vee, I'm honestly confused.

I don't understand why you think posting the news of her award win

is somehow an appeal to get hired back to daytime?

If any other white soap writer had won an award, we would post it.

Why does her news of a win have to be some appeal to a message board?????

Since Ms. Voof talks to Brian Frons all the time, I doubt she's thinking about

this message board.

I certainly am not appealing to any of you for anything. I'm just making people

aware that a former soap writer won an award and that her career is RISING.

Stenbeck,

I agree that Vola Voof is Sheila Carter!

I think she's Sami Brady, Sheila Carter, Helena Cassidine, Celeste Carver, Erica Kane and

Drusilla Winters all rolled into one.

Vola's biography, IMO, reads like a soap opera!

That why I think she's perfect for soaps. :lol:

But I would.

If she's so great and doing so well, you don't need to spend post after post telling us how well she's doing, and how none of these things are her fault, how she was "just trying to have fun on the Internet," what harm can it do, and how you're just positive all the other writers do it. Nobody wants or needs all this cajoling. You can just let her writing, wherever and whatever it may be, speak for itself. Surely if she wanted a stranger to speak for her, she would have asked you, hmm?

Right now, though, she is not writing for soaps, so maybe you can take it to, I don't know, "Off-Topic Lounge" after the first five pages. Just a thought. In terms of marketing or lively discussion of her work, this is a waste of time and any attempt to market her here after the previous debacles will fail.

Market her????

She's a former soap writer who won an award in Sweden.

This is a soap discussion board.

Regardless how you and I feel about her, her award is NEWS.

Just like all the other soap writers who make the news.

Who in the world is trying to "market" her?

Of course I'm going to defend her, because I MIGHT...be her....after all.

You never know.

This has been the first half of "What a Woman Will Do"

....our story will continue in a moment

    • Did Denise give any interviews where she talked about her first few years on GH... '73-75? I wonder if she had any regrets leaving Days for GH, as from what I've read, the show was in the dumps writing-wise, so am thinking she didn't have great story? Any Leslie story highlights I've seen always start with '76, after Gloria Monty took charge.
    • I know! It's like second verse, here we go again!  Agreed. Certainly there was concern maybe even fear at the highest levels for the very good reason that what they had was so economically successful, so of course this risk was scary but if anyone was brave she was. Yes, he was. I have seen her associated with getting it on the air one other place but no details nor official title. Not the writer or creator so it made me wonder if she functioned as a kind of uncredited ad hoc producer, but then maybe she just supported it. At any rate that is nothing but supposition on my part. No data! Yes, not a surprise anymore but still so frustrating! On one hand I am appreciative that she is included in this book, but scholarship where are you?!
    • that wasnt her point. She wanted to further demonize Ted; that was the main focus of their talk. She wants to ensure that Nicole leaves him so that he's free and single to be with her. At this point, I dont think she really cares what Nicole thinks of her; she just wants her out of the way Eva is Nicole's stepdaughter and is a Dupree by association. If Nicole takes Ted back then its reasonable that she would accept his daughter and i that happens, Eva will have welcomed to their country club, be invited to their parties, have access to their resources, etc....much like Andre whom also isnt a blood Dupree but is accepted by them via Nicole. Eva got what she got from Anita bc of Hayley. I think its important to remember that context bc they just dealt with an interloper that infiltrated their ranks and hurt her daughter in the worse way. Now you have another unfortunate girl positioned to do the same to her other daughter. The feelings are still too fresh and she doesnt want Eva to get the idea that she would ever be allowed the opportunity to play them again
    • Oh I've seem this! That's part of why I'm curious! The show could put EastEnders to shame on the gangster Aspect! Oh I've seem this! That's part of why I'm curious! The show could put EastEnders to shame on the gangster Aspect!
    • Eve was one of those characters that had the "Jessie Brewer"role. They had heavy storyline, they burned through it and now they are there for support and a touchstone in the community (Marland wanted to give Jessie story, but I agree with Monty...she best served in her connecting role, and keeping that damn Amy Vining busy so she keeps her nose out of things) So charcters are important and why they should have kept characters like Bridget around (even as she is more volatiles then Eve) who didnt need a big storyline but could have been behind the bar making connections and expostion, but Rauch wanted JEVA/JEVA/JEVA and DRAMA (which to him meant a lot of yelling and stupidity.)
    • Why do I feel like (or remember possible

    • A number of errors in the above article. You wonder how with all that research,how  they slipped through. I think they are conflating Women Alone with Lonely Women. I have never read anything of a serial called Women Alone. However,I am prepared to be proven wrong.   It seems Irna actually WAS interested in TV soaps as witnessed by These Are My Children airing in 1949 on NBC in the early days of TV.   I don't believe that was reluctance, rather simply good business sense as radio's dominance began to wane.   Inferring that was somehow connected to Irna who was off that show 10 years prior.   Again inferring that Phillips leaving 6 years prior had some connection to the eventual cancellation.     Again these two events are in fact one. Irna left ATWT only once in 1970 and returned in 72. She was not working on another P&G show at the time. So either she brought the ratings up or they dipped, depending on which above account you believe   Untrue. A World Apart debuted 5 years after she left AW. And AWA aired longer than a few months. Over a year in fact.   I believe Orin Tovrov was the writer. Irna was not involved in the creation of this show. And no mention of Masquerade an Irna serial  which was on air around this time.   TBD finished in 1962. As we see over and over, these inaccuracies are published and accepted as fact.
    • YES! While I objectively found the writing on RH (particularly during its first few years and then again in its final days) to be excellent, so many of the principle characters were unpleasant, and totally turned me off. I could never settle down and become emotionally involved with a group of people who grated on my nerves.
