"Ellen Wheeler.....she doesn't want anything soap opera-esque on her show and I heard from several of her actors that she wants the show to be The Hills....The Hills???....You know what? Leave daytime and go produce the The Hills part two, with Brody and Lauren. Go get out of this industry. You clearly are destroying it. They hate that they're in daytime.....and they're ashamed and they feel like they should be doing something bigger and grander. Well then leave. We don't need you in this daytime, in this industry."

Toups, that part of the podcast was hilarious, wasn't it? For all the wrong reasons, of course, but wow, Nelson sure voiced the outrage that the fans have been screaming about for months.

I need a stiff drink after that.

ABC don't treat the stars with any respect just like CBS. Soaps are going down it's not just GL & ATWT.

MCE might be out sonner! YES!!!! She is soooo BORING!!

Also P&G screwed themselves.

Fans might be complaining about AMC/GH but at least they can keep most of their actors/actresses.

OLTL is doing a GREAT job! I think OLTL makes ABC look so good!

I've listened to it twice now, and I still don't know what to make of it.

It was HIGHLY entertaining, and he certainly was the voice of the majority of fans I've seen on the web.

It's not going to do any good - TPTB will just lump him into the same category they lump the rest of us "Internet crazies" into.

SO in the end, he may have done himself a disservice, even though he was DEFINITELY right on the money.

The emperor has no clothes, but I'm not sure Nelson was the one to point that out and have it really mean something.

But I love him for doing it.

Kyle, we could be best friends if you didn't hate Annie so much.

Oh, I think Guza and JFP have a huge hand in it. In fact I think that's common knowledge, but Frons has done nothing to discourage them. Poor GH doesn't have a good diva over 40, while OLTL is swimming in them. At least Frons seems to allow OLTl to use their older females. That's something I guess.

No good diva over 40?

I beg to differ.

Nancy Lee Grahn and Jane Eliot are acting giants on GH. They're there, even if GH doesn't use them enough.

Is Toups finally pro-Nelson now?

He was funny at some parts but......umm......noooooo. With this podcast, he totally lives up to the "tabloid journalist" name I like to call him.

GL is definetly a goner. Wheeler and Kriazmen are killing the show......and also the actors are unhappy.

I think Ricky Paull Goldin and Beth Ehlers leaving GL was a HUGE lose and a HUGE gian for AMC. Also with Martha leaving ATWT it showed signs that they were not happy and with that ATWT hack writer and Chris as EP.....

CBS is in sooo much trouble.

(Also, at one point ABC was bad but never this bad)

It's ironic cause CBS was always considered the better network when it came to soaps, but now they're losing some of their biggest star to ABC, and a few years ago ABC was losing it's big stars to CBS LOL

I have this horrible feeling Maura West is going to jump ship. Either that or Kim Zimmer.

At this point given what Pissant is doing to Carly, IMO Maura would be better off leaving, if she leaves I'll follow her to ANY show

To me GL was gone long time ago.

RPG and BE arent the big superstars. IMO of course....I dont see it as a Huge loss..of course I was never a fan of RPG.

If GL goes so does ATWT. They are a package deal. And ABC isnt donig that great either Kyle....their highest show only has 2.2 rating..nothing to brag about IMO.

RPG and BE arent the big superstars. IMO of course....I dont see it as a Huge loss..of course I was never a fan of RPG.

Soapsy on GL they were considered pretty big stars, but I think to lose both in a short period of time is gonna hurt the show

The show IF written correctly could easily survive without them. But since the show is the shits...its going to hurt the show. And look what character BE is playing at AMC..She acts like is it some big role.

I largely agree. I do hate when he says things just to make him look good "so and so told me they loved me and loved what I'd b een saying" etc etc... :rolls eyes:

As a hearing impaired person, that would be an incredible gift.

I have a very close friend who is hearing impaired, who would also appreciate it.

This is fascinating.
