n.branco's offensive in "the rules"


Recommended Posts

  • Members

nelson branco has once again stooped to new lows in his newest "the rules" article. it is full of his usual bias and he has found new ways to be offensive.

he wants more representation for white lgbt characters on daytime and claims to be against racism, sexism and homophobia in daytime. yet he wrote this regarding b&b:

"*Incestuous pairings will get you high numbers — especially in the red states."

i'm not from a red state but this just proves his hypocrisy. but of course he does not diss oltl at all. big shocker! he instead disses abc daytime regarding his perception of how abc daytime "treats" oltl. his blatant favoritism of oltl continues. it's bad enough that he calls everything the scabs on oltl wrote is bad. but then he claims that it is not the scabs but carlivati who wrote the "good" violent todd scenes on oltl. yet this was during the writer's strike material being aired! he continues to praise carlivati in his usual biased ways by writing this:

"*Follow Douglas Marland’s rules, and watch your ratings drop!

*Air on a network that doesn’t know you exist. Being promoted and marketed is highly overrated."

branco even continues to bash passions, which is so typically unclassy of him, since the soap is cancelled.

he wrote:

"Passions

*Don’t hire actors. Models are cheaper. And much prettier to look at.

*Never change with the times."

hello? i guess he considers his all time favorite actress andrea evans (ex-rebecca) as a model preteding to be an actress. same goes for juliet mills (ex-tabitha), lindsey korman (ex-theresa), galen gering (ex-luis), etc.

and never change with the times? all passions did was rebel against the status quo of soaps. DUH!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i know right? LOL! remember his old columns how he would write that carlivati is a soap god, looks as good as his cast and should be in the soap hunks calendar because he'd hang him by his mattress! beyond tacky and TMI! and then he'd deny lusting after carlivati! lame.............

those columns were pick up lines for carlivati, and then for valentini! he wrote how valentini is his new crush and he's glad 2 italians are running oltl! now he keeps saying anything bad on oltl is automatically written by the scabs, BUT he is already praising may sweeps oltl/carlivati material! and it isn't even airing yet! his professionalism is down the drain!

Bakedghoti, don't you think you are giving Nelson Branco way too much standing and coverage? Half his stuff is so tongue-in-cheek and campy. I'm LOL just thinking about that "two hot Italians" comment about Carlivati and Valentini. It's just not to be taken seriously! As for this article, his point was actually in support of Douglas Marland's rules on writing soaps -- he was taking the shows to task over it. Something we on this board do on a near-daily basis, no?

:lol: OMG, I just had a thought. bakedghoti = Nelson Branco! :P

That list is a joke. I mean, a literal joke. He's having some fun with how terrible the soaps are right now, what's the big deal?

And how does making fun of Passions make him a bad guy? Passions insulted the entire Genre. It was a 9 year long joke.

Branco always bashes Passions. :lol:

Passions has very talented actors and actresses and they are way good looking than other daytime stars. James E Reilly wanted to take Passions where no soap has ever been before and he accomplished that. I don't care if it dissed the genre, so what?! I love my Passions and I will miss it dearly.

you think my writing about brancon now after weeks of not writing about him is giving him " too much standing and coverage"? i write about b&b all the time, not branco.

and his writing is full of hypocrisy. he claims to want to end racism, sexism and homophobia in daytime and yet all he wants are white lgbt characters. he wants b&b's ridge jr., b&b's storm, atwt's brad, oltl's sara to all be lgbt and they are all white. he wanted b&b's katie and felicia to be lgbt, and he suggested there were homosexual undertones between oltl's john and david. all of these characters are white. branco has clearly shown that he thinks there is no need for lgbt characters of color to be represented on soaps.

branco's writing is not campy. it's trashy and desperate and sexually starved. there's a difference.

       about it I think Jan is a fine supporting part for a solid daytime vet (probably someone from the P&G soaps), as opposed to someone from the production location who is clearly cheaper. Which seems to govern some casting. I get the rationale, but I would start going through the ATWT/GL, etc. rolodex myself.
    • I dont mind Jan. She's good in the minor capacity she is used. 
    • tbqh I don't care about Jan, I don't care about Ashley and I think Jon Lindstrom as Joey is an acquired taste. Jon is a great actor but certain things are in his zone and then some are not. Some days I find Joey credible and compelling, but the stuff with him hanging around the Golden Corral, grumbling about Doug and bitching at Randy is not amazing. If he had material on par with what MVJ wrote for Ryan/Kevin on GH back in the day it'd be a different story. I do think he has real chemistry with Vanessa, which is in large part due to MVJ clearly molding that character (and hiring an appropriate actor) in the Lucy Coe vein when she reinvented Lucy in the '90s as well. But I am not here to spend 6+ months watching Jon glower a lot (which is what he's doing half the time to carry weak story) and make more vague dire pronouncements while Jen Jacob gets flustered and weepy over "Daddy" or whatever would come of that storyline. Putting them together sounds like a recipe for doom to me. But I may be in the minority on that.
    • I know this will never happen. But... Halle Berry as Dani Dupree(BTG). She would rock this role, it's in her wheelhouse.
    • When I see how bad the Ashley/Derek scenes are, I know there must be a larger purpose and Joey being her father is the thing that makes the most sense.  My take on it is that Ashley knows Joey is her father but doesn't know Joey. Maybe he was there when she was a child or just not around at all but I believe Jan when she says she didn't lie to her daughter about who her father was. Maybe she left him when she discovered his dangerous lifestyle.  I do think they could really jump start the character of Ashley if they hurry and do this. Jan is a great character and her scenes with Ashley have been helpful. This would further integrate Ashley into the canvas and give her something dramatic to do. With her working at the hospital along with Doug, it could lead to complications if she learns Doug is involved with her father. I just need is sooner rather than later because Derek is tanking her character. I need a distraction.
