I don't follow who you're thinking of with your 'cease & desist' comment, though. Do you mean you are surprised that Jossip hasn't been served such by Source Interlink's Legal Department? Or something else?

Ha! Source Interlink wouldn't dare file a C&D against Jossip, I haven't seen a libelous thing on that thread, after all, if it's true it isn't libel and each and every post wreaks of truth, plus, it's only their opinion and opinion is protected by the law of the United States.

Karma's a bitch Carolyn...I'd say you're a bitch too except bitches have style, so you aren't even that.

Now it's time to see how long it takes the axe to fall on Lynn and Stephanie, off with their heads!

Well, there are things there that aren't true, but, I still don't see how Source Interlink could force a stop. I mean, maybe they could appeal to Jossip in some way, although I can't imagine that, but legally force it, no, I don't think so, and that's what confused me if that's what Mark was meaning.

I agree with this. I don't think it's right to "out" actors but I do think actors should just be honest with the public since they are going to be rumors about them anyway. This is 2008 after all and NPH came out publicly and it hasn't hurt his career.

OK, wait... Is there somewhere a résumé somewhere of what's being said? Like:

1. [someone] did this.

2. [This] happened.

3...

I have no patience for going through 1300 posts of human vileness, evil and pettiness. Even if it's about Carolyn Hinsey.

no, but i can PM you what i have read so far. lol. let me know.

But if they dont wan too, they shouldnt have too.

I mean honestly, a lot of them are out - to co-workers, friends, family, etc. But do not feel the need to do a cover story 'yup. im gay' and i dont see anything wrong with that. and also maybe some are not ok with it at all. they have the reasons they have and i do think we should respect that.

A poster claiming to be Alan Carter (at this point, who knows on the board?) is claiming Lynn Leahy was also dismissed, and Stephanie Sloane will now run both magazines. I could understand this...many thought she was "the nice one", and the publisher needs SOME continuity, even if the choice was difficult.

I would imagine all kinds of changes might emerge from this down the road. I wonder if this is true?

With all due respect, I think this fire needs to burn. I know a lot of woodland creatures are getting caught in the flames but there's years of tinder built up there and this lightning strike was bound to happen. Hopefully when its all over the ashes will provide fertile ground for something decent to grow.

(Did I overdo the metaphor?)

Having worked in publishing (though not soap publishing), I have found that the peons working directly under you probably know your job better than you do. Why not promote them?

If some of the people posting on That Thread really are actual employees, I doubt Stephanie Sloane's alleged appointment will assuage the situation. The level of vitriol and allegations directed her way were pretty bad.

I don't know any of these people, so it's really not my place to say whether they should be fired. But if Sloane has lost all face with her employees, how can she lead them into a new era for the mags?

The Thread mentioned Mimi Torchin and Connie Passalacqua Hayman as dream appointees. Given that one has a blog and one used to -- and that's obviously the direction the soap mags are heading -- perhaps they should be given another shot?

In this case, I do not accept that this is kerosene. I basically am inclined to believe the veracity of this post, which is why I shared it (in part in the hopes that some of our more knowledgeable posters might confirm or deny). I do think that this seismic shift in the (tiny) soap press is an important issue for discussion at this board. I am not outing, criticizing, etc. anybody. I am simply reporting that a named source (who has not yet come out to say 'this was a lie posted under my name'), with known (historical) connections to the soap press, has suggested that the Executive Editor (or whatever her title was) of SOD/SOW is also now leaving. That is germane to this group.

What kerosene is being added? Is simply discussing this topic and this editorship suddenly untouchable?

If you are referring to the originating site, I agree that that thread is filled with much chaff. But discerning readers here, who choose to peruse it, will be able to take away a gestalt of the main points, I think.

ETA: With now people apparently forging "Alan Carter", the truth is less clear than ever :-). But I have a simple solution, and it will only take a few weeks to get the truth. I will read the SOD/SOW mastheads religiously in the next few weeks.

You are right. But never mind the veracity and all, you are giving publicity to this whole thing, you propagate everything that is being said there with incredible zeal - even the outing. Meaning, you're indirectly doing everything those people there do. I cannot believe someone would go on to admit that he/she's addictied to the foulness of humanity being spread there and that he/she's constantly pressing F5 or Refresh/Reload or whatever...

Yes, I detest Carolyn Hinsey, but that doesn't mean I want to be a player in this foul game. Besides, there's an air of mystery surrounding all these people: what sort of a person would absorb that amazing amount of abuse for all these years? And how come no one noticed the way this woman was behaving? And why are all of them coming out with these claims now?

The Jossip thread is bordering on insanity and every minute that passes and every new comment it gets - the impact it might have had decreases and it all turns out to be one big, gigantic - farce.

And P. S. I am appalled that certain people from SON participated in there. Some admitted it, some are so easy to see through. Appalled.

Of course its insane now. The problem with that thread is that it has become an entire soap board jammed into one thread. An unmoderated soap board at that. It was supposed to be something fairly specific: a celebration of Hinsey's firing and a show of solidarity for the people who endured her abuse. Then it turned into a confessional. Then it turned into the McCarthy hearings. And now its just a couple of people on PCP and whiskey hearing voices and screaming at each other. On a message board, that thread would've been closed 1,000 posts ago.

You're right. It's a farce now. But for a while it was great. One could say the same thing about soaps.

    • I know! It's like second verse, here we go again!  Agreed. Certainly there was concern maybe even fear at the highest levels for the very good reason that what they had was so economically successful, so of course this risk was scary but if anyone was brave she was. Yes, he was. I have seen her associated with getting it on the air one other place but no details nor official title. Not the writer or creator so it made me wonder if she functioned as a kind of uncredited ad hoc producer, but then maybe she just supported it. At any rate that is nothing but supposition on my part. No data! Yes, not a surprise anymore but still so frustrating! On one hand I am appreciative that she is included in this book, but scholarship where are you?!
    • that wasnt her point. She wanted to further demonize Ted; that was the main focus of their talk. She wants to ensure that Nicole leaves him so that he's free and single to be with her. At this point, I dont think she really cares what Nicole thinks of her; she just wants her out of the way Eva is Nicole's stepdaughter and is a Dupree by association. If Nicole takes Ted back then its reasonable that she would accept his daughter and i that happens, Eva will have welcomed to their country club, be invited to their parties, have access to their resources, etc....much like Andre whom also isnt a blood Dupree but is accepted by them via Nicole. Eva got what she got from Anita bc of Hayley. I think its important to remember that context bc they just dealt with an interloper that infiltrated their ranks and hurt her daughter in the worse way. Now you have another unfortunate girl positioned to do the same to her other daughter. The feelings are still too fresh and she doesnt want Eva to get the idea that she would ever be allowed the opportunity to play them again
    • Oh I've seem this! That's part of why I'm curious! The show could put EastEnders to shame on the gangster Aspect! Oh I've seem this! That's part of why I'm curious! The show could put EastEnders to shame on the gangster Aspect!
    • Eve was one of those characters that had the "Jessie Brewer"role. They had heavy storyline, they burned through it and now they are there for support and a touchstone in the community (Marland wanted to give Jessie story, but I agree with Monty...she best served in her connecting role, and keeping that damn Amy Vining busy so she keeps her nose out of things) So charcters are important and why they should have kept characters like Bridget around (even as she is more volatiles then Eve) who didnt need a big storyline but could have been behind the bar making connections and expostion, but Rauch wanted JEVA/JEVA/JEVA and DRAMA (which to him meant a lot of yelling and stupidity.)

    • A number of errors in the above article. You wonder how with all that research,how  they slipped through. I think they are conflating Women Alone with Lonely Women. I have never read anything of a serial called Women Alone. However,I am prepared to be proven wrong.   It seems Irna actually WAS interested in TV soaps as witnessed by These Are My Children airing in 1949 on NBC in the early days of TV.   I don't believe that was reluctance, rather simply good business sense as radio's dominance began to wane.   Inferring that was somehow connected to Irna who was off that show 10 years prior.   Again inferring that Phillips leaving 6 years prior had some connection to the eventual cancellation.     Again these two events are in fact one. Irna left ATWT only once in 1970 and returned in 72. She was not working on another P&G show at the time. So either she brought the ratings up or they dipped, depending on which above account you believe   Untrue. A World Apart debuted 5 years after she left AW. And AWA aired longer than a few months. Over a year in fact.   I believe Orin Tovrov was the writer. Irna was not involved in the creation of this show. And no mention of Masquerade an Irna serial  which was on air around this time.   TBD finished in 1962. As we see over and over, these inaccuracies are published and accepted as fact.
    • YES! While I objectively found the writing on RH (particularly during its first few years and then again in its final days) to be excellent, so many of the principle characters were unpleasant, and totally turned me off. I could never settle down and become emotionally involved with a group of people who grated on my nerves.
    • Ugh now we get a Emmerdale and Corrie crossover soon. ugh.. How desperate 
    • This show is definitely not one to deserve the axe.  especially the New Year’s Eve episode was crazy wild! there is a place where u can download nearly all episodes from October 2019 til today. But they don’t accept new people. https://youtu.be/aD-IXEJjymU?si=19wtpwthSNYOe-4y   this is from this years winter break when the returned. I loved it
