Thanks!

I will try to be there! I want to ask her so many questions!

I tried to join, but it's already full. Oh well.

[dragonflies]

Hopefully someone can recap the chat for those of who can't join it

[Soapsuds]

Her chat is full to capacity. I have been trying to get in since before 6 with no luck. Ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[WillenFan21]

OMFG I can't believe the way they treated her.

[Tishy]

Did you get in, can you recap for us?

[WillenFan21]

She said that all she freaking asked for was that she was in the same number of shows as she was last year. She was on 105 times last year. She said that is all the dispute was over and that they said NO and after that was when she heard about the recast.

She really is being very vague. She said she'll be added two songs to her website soon. Ellen Dolan brought bagpipes on her final day and her party had over 100 people. She worked with Elizabeth Hubbard last on Wednesday. She's open to any soap, but won't say if she's in talks with anyone. When ATWT sent out the recast notice negotiations went from bad to worse. Her kids are excited to have her home. She's wearing sweats with pizza sauce on them, so she's no diva. Her favorite storyline is Cowboy Jack (followed by "LOL, just kidding"). She totally dodged that question and who could blame her?

If there's anything else I'll add.

ETA:

She hasn't answered any of my questions which bothers me. I'm going to assume she's getting tons of questions and can't answer them all, but most of the ones chosen are repetitive.

[Y&RWorldTurner]

Wow, asking to appear in as many episodes as she did in 2007 is deemed

"unreasonable" by TPTB at ATWT? Maybe they need to reexamine their priorities, given the actors/characters they let hog up all the damn air time on the show.

[Chris B]

^ You're forgetting they just upgraded Sofie to contract and she's very popular. Only extra tidbit is that Martha said to check her website Friday for more updates, including going away party pictures.

[AddictedToSoaps]

Ugh this whole thing is so wrong. I can't believe that they would deny her that simple request.

[sema608]

Exactly! I can't believe it takes something that minor to to fuss over. Wow, they really are TIIC.

[EastMA2]

I'm still LOL at the Nuke fans being ticked off because she didn't answer anything they asked. Do they not get it that everyone connected to the show just wants them to go away? They totally botched the Nuke campaign. Had they handled it differently, people might have listened.
