Members Sylph Posted May 24, 2008 Members Share Posted May 24, 2008 Thanks, MarkH! Read the interview here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MarkH Posted May 24, 2008 Members Share Posted May 24, 2008 Are you saying "thanks" because I linked this at Usenet? :-) All, what Sylph may be pointing out is that Mimi takes credit for "introducing" spoilers to daytime...and acknowledges that this may have hurt the genre. I don't have the discipline to spoiler free, but I believe that spoilers are a pox on the genre. Thanks to spoilers, I can almost never be surprised anymore.

Members Sylph Posted May 24, 2008 Author Members Share Posted May 24, 2008 Yes, I saw this link from your Usenet post. But I now see the link is everywhere. I like Mimi Torchin a lot. I'm sorry she's not writing a soap column anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members detroitpiston Posted May 24, 2008 Members Share Posted May 24, 2008 I'm sorry, but she seems rather full of her self. Although, I did agree with some of what she said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sylph Posted May 24, 2008 Author Members Share Posted May 24, 2008 Well, I wouldn't quote the line you did as an illustration of her "fullness of herself" because it's basically true what she says. However, some people are allowed to be full of themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dragonflies Posted May 24, 2008 Members Share Posted May 24, 2008 Can't stand her and IMO the firing should have happened sooner than it did Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Faulkner Posted May 24, 2008 Members Share Posted May 24, 2008 I co-sign so hard with this statement. I've thought Adam/Stuart have been tired for YEARS. I'd love to see Stuart killed off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members detroitpiston Posted May 24, 2008 Members Share Posted May 24, 2008 Shhhhhhhhhhhh, don't give Pratt any ideas LOL. I don't care how tired people think he is, Adam rocks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dragonflies Posted May 24, 2008 Members Share Posted May 24, 2008 Figures she'd say that given she LOVES Ryan Lavery a character who hasn't grown since Gillian died Adam has shown growth, one of the few characters on the show that actually does.......

Members Faulkner Posted May 24, 2008 Members Share Posted May 24, 2008 Oh God...yeah, Pratt would totally botch a Stuart death plot. But I think that AMC has never really used Stuart effectively in the years I've been watching, and his death would spur some reflection and repentance from Adam that would add some dimension to the character and drive story for years (which, of course, wouldn't happen in the current soap environment). I know I'm in the minority, but I just never cared for DC/Adam/Stuart. Yet I recognize that Adam is such a fixture in Pine Valley, and I've made my peace with the fact he'll always be around. I could like him a bit more, if his stories weren't so rinse-wash-repeat (i.e. pretending to be Stuart, having his family desert him only to have them come around, his abusive, controlling relationships with women).

Members MoTheGreat Posted May 24, 2008 Members Share Posted May 24, 2008 Even though spoilers might have spoiled things. But I still would like to see how it plays out. I stop watching soaps for a while until I channel sufer & find a character or a actor that interest me. or when I read a spoiler that interest me. Then I watch that soap again.

Members baller Posted May 24, 2008 Members Share Posted May 24, 2008 mimi stopped being a journalist a LONG time ago. She's a hack who doesn't actually view the soaps, just latches on to bad storylines and obsesses over them, clouding anything else she's actually got to say. She's beyond full of herself, and needs to go back to not being heard from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dragonflies Posted May 24, 2008 Members Share Posted May 24, 2008 WORD! Also when I think back about the things she said about Kimberly McCullough(stuff that got her sorry ass fired) it pisses me off all over again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members detroitpiston Posted May 24, 2008 Members Share Posted May 24, 2008 Thank God, I thought I was the only one who felt this way! Oh, what she say? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dragonflies Posted May 24, 2008 Members Share Posted May 24, 2008 I can't remember word for word but it had Scrubs fans pissed royally. She said something like Kimberly had no sex appeal and just bashed Kim's looks and whatnot. IMO one shouldn't call themselves a journalist if they can't be impartial. Dislike someone, sure, but keep it OUT of your column Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
