Mimi Torchin in TV Guide Canada


Recommended Posts

  • Members

I've always liked Mimi Torchin a lot. Full of herself, sure, puts her foot in her mouth from time to time, of course. Cares about the genre like you wouldn't believe? You Bet.

If she was head of ABC Daytime I am certain we'd see a very different outlook. She hit the nail on the head: it's ageism! The youth demographic doesn't exist. Period.

Mimi may have her faults, but I'd take her word ANY DAY over anything Carolyn Hinsey would say.

Mimi doesn't hold back in what she wants to say about soaps, this used to be the norm several years ago. However, now every soap journalist feels the need to kiss the soaps and the actors asses because if they don't, they won't get scoops or something.

God help us, if she ran ABC it would be even worse than now. And that says something. All it would do would consist of BAD storylines she's obsessed over.

Mimi lost any and all credibility when she started to pick arguements with fans over e-mail in regards to something they wrote in to SOW that she didn't agree with.

She's nothing more than a no-talent hack who finally got found out as NOT a journalist.

I co sign to this post. The woman is way too biased and finds nothing good in soap operas. If she hates what she sees on TV, why watch? Take a break for maybe a year and then come back to the shows. But a storyline could be written like gold and she would still do nothing but bitch and complain...she is also a card carrying AMC hater so that earns her a spot on my sh1t list. AMC could be like it was in the golden years of the late seventies/early 80s and late 80s/early to mid 90s and she would still be a card carrying hater.

What did she say about Kimberly? I loatheSt. Robin but I do like Kimberly

LOL and Mimi just oozes sex appeal! :lol:

I think they are both hacks and Hinsey should be replaced by someone at SoapTownUSA. Those columnists know how to write! :)

Yep you bet it would! She would just put him in every story, every episode, and have all characters pimp St. Ryan

LOL, exactly what I thought. Maybe she hasn't looked in the mirror lately? :lol:

Don't they already?

Oh and I think KMc is sexy when she wants to be, like Holly Marie Combs. Looks like the girl next door, but put her in the right clothes and make-up and wowza!

I like Mimi. I don't agree with everything she says, but a lot of what she says is true. And yes, as good as an actor David Canary is, he has become tiresome. He's like Eric Braeden on Y&R, the same bull repeatedly -which is why ironically I liked when LML tried to "humanize" him in a way. The Victor character is much better when he's subdued.

    • I don’t even know why you responded to the bait.
    • I only watch for Sharon and she’s barely on. The only good thing going at the moment is Jack and Diane scenes and they’ve made Diane such a wuss lately which is making that unbearable to watch too 
    • I feel like Earl Hamner and his crew brought in Richard* BECAUSE they knew almost right away that Robert Foxworth was so dull as Chase.  At any event, Richard, IMO, proved to be much more interesting as Angela's chief adversary. (*Or brought him back, depending on whether we're including the original "Vintage Years" pilot).
    • And it will also eventually air S2, which will air its finale in Canada this Thursday, May 15th! https://tvline.com/news/law-and-order-toronto-criminal-intent-season-1-2-the-cw-1235449356/ As an American that has managed to watch it in real time, it's very good. Frankly, I think it's the best of the L&O franchise as of now.
    • You are getting like me. It's getting to the point that without any Damian sightings...it's been the fashion that is holding my interest. And it should not be that way at all. 
    • I don't mind Jan either. If anything, they could be using her more to get her daughter's POV. Not to mention her role as one of the Have-Nots.    I also don't mind the local talent. Just look at soaps that were in NY or the shows that film there, they always go for the local talent and we get to find new faves. 
    • I'm not going to watch (because...well...that M-dude...lol) but knowing the history between Henry and Roger, I could see Henry wanting to enable Hart to stay independent of Roger. I could even see it as Henry having the last laugh at Roger. Roger hated "the Henry's" of the world, which basically meant anyone who had money and social prominence. Twice Roger swindled Henry out of a chunk of his fortune, so giving some to Hart, who hates his father, is a form of karma.
    • Ashley and Derek have to go- they really throw off the pace of the show.  Today was the first time I fast-forwarded through their scenes. The writing and acting is just bad for both characters.
    • Jon is stuck in a story that isn't popular but with Cady I feel like the issue is that she was clearly thrown in with no real purpose. I still don't understand why she pops up. I recall early on it being said she owned a spa but we've never seen it. That could've been an interesting location for people to meet. She also could've worked better as Smitty's mom, but instead we get this random agent of Dani's who pops up twice a month? A total waste. I mostly agree. I do feel like Jan could be elevated with a name soap actress, someone like Judi Evans or Kassie DePaiva comes to mind, but they're limited to who is in Atlanta. Keeping that in mind I think the current actress is fine. 
    • It's great to see. My thoughts might be a little different, but for the most part, I am excited and interested in most of the storylines. Yeah, you're right. This is probably how she (Dani) normally acts. And, I do not like it!  I agree; this is another distraction while she heals her wounds. If I weren't an Eva fan, she helped me root for her even more. As I said a month ago, I hope they take their time with her modeling agency. I would love to see her face a few obstacles before becoming a huge success.
