That may be true, but I haven't posted at Jossip and I never worked for the woman. I'd heard enough stories though. And really, maybe there's a time and a place for that particular spirit. Some people just attract the karmic payback.

All this crapola was going on behind-the-scenes at these soap mags and nobody thought to transcribe that gold and work it into the soaps themselves? Man, imagine what Fusion or Restless Style could have been! Wonder who would have played the Carolyn Hinsey character. Greenlee? Phyllis?

Seriously, ratings would be soaring. Add in the allegations about a certain person's supposed (and smokin') love life, and the soaps would be hitting 5.0-8.0 in HHs right about now.

Carolyn Hinsey is the reason I stopped buying the soap magazines. I might give them a second look now that she's gone. She doesn't have respect for the fans in general, with her it's like you're here because of us NOT we're here because of you. It doesn't work that way and hopefully that will sink in for Ms. Hinsey.

:blink:

Sickening, how? People are venting about a mean boss they had and engaging in some dumb gossip which will be forgotten by next week. That is not the worst thing in the world, believe me. Take a look around you or walk outside. There is death, destruction and economic and social depression. THAT is sickening garbage. This is just a small corner of the print-based soap world having a fit, but no doubt it (and the people involved) will continue to renew and recycle themselves.

That's the saddest part about all of this to me. In the end, nothing will really change. She'll resurrect somewhere else and start all over. That's the reason people like Hinsey are allowed to thrive in spite of offering less and less. We see it in soap management and creative too. It's just musical chairs. Second verse, same as the first.

That's another reason I'm enjoying that thread. That's one bell that can't be un-rung.

Actually, Sylph, I take back my previous post and get off my high horse. I was WAY too self-righteous.

Am in the office today and almost EVERYBODY else is away on vacation, so I've been feeling a little stir-crazy. The Jossip thread kinda took hold of me, like some crazy fever! But, on reflection, it is like watching a car crash in slo-mo. It is also outing actors who probably don't want that stuff, whether it be truth or lies, out in public and besmirching their reputation. So it's prob time to let it go. I think I'm going to have a cool drink and get some REAL work done before I call it a day. :lol:

LOL!! Yeah, I'm trying to figure out what's been scooped. ... just a different view. Although not everything being thrown into the feeding frenzy over there is true. Tons definitely is, especially about Carolyn. But, yes, two outings, if people didn't know, and an affair, if people didn't know ... There hasn't really been one good gossip site for soaps in a long time!!

But, Mark, some of the 'vitirol' early on, come on, surely you can kinda 'get' that, right? After there was blood in the water, though, some of those people are just enjoying being outrageous. Some not.

I think the industry is so corrupt and insular and diseased that outing all the slime is probably the best thing for it. I get so tired of hearing magazines tell people in Peoria that Christian LeBlanc is a "swinging bachelor."

Good riddance to bad rubbish, I say!!

I've been sick of Hinsey and her slanted coverage of GUIDING LIGHT (which basically amounted to "If it ain't Reva, it's crap!") for many years. Maybe now, they can get an opinion column that covers all of GL and not just Hinsey's buddy.

      She did have a thing with him in the late '90s, before she inexplicably disappeared with no mention as to why, although I can't remember if they had sex.

      I don't believe she did. She did sleep with Simon, believing he was a Spaulding.

      -- If I ever get sick, please don't send me to Garland Memorial. That hospital is a YIKES. -- Soooo much activity around the main nurses' desk. Do they move dead people on a gurney past that desk, too? -- 8 months for Bill to recover from a "small stroke"? Uh....I don't think so. Is anyone researching this stuff? The hospital stuff is not coming off as realistic. -- It's good that Derek and Ashley are being integrated into other stories, but it's a real stretch to say Leslie was "stalking" Ashley. It makes Derek seem dumber than we already think he is. -- Ashley spends a lot of time having small talk while she's at work. -- Chelsea is embarrassing. Period. -- Tomas is supposed to pick up the slack for Bill, but he has time to have worthless conversations with Leslie? OK then. -- Kat is destroying the case against Leslie, but that's clearly the way to keep Leslie on the canvas.

      6-3   I almost let my system just delete the episode just like with B&B. I am now questioning if I should have. lol.   I just can't believe that Cole sat there and started to get sick and then only Victoria off and ran off and everyone basically went back to what they were doing at Nikki's birthday party. Cole was too much of a vet character for that. And now story back off-screen.   I did chuckle at how much Victor pay Kyle dust. And now Kyle with this deal and a promise to leave town if he hurts Claire. smh. As if Victor isn't going to make that happen.   It was lovely to see Ashley. And actually (misdressed and all) Abby.    And I liked Claire's dress.

      I did think of another possibility. Did India ever sleep with Alan? They kind of toyed with pairing them up, but I'm not sure they ever became lovers.

      While I do love the chaotic energy that is Kat vs Lesile, it is a bit extra. Sheltered, virginal Kat who plays it safe from her man to her wardrobe understands that Leslie is dangerous, but she's out here showing up everywhere and anywhere that Lesile is to be found and actively going to places where she is alone? I mean Kat doesn't even act a little afraid or intimidated by Leslie. Meanwhile, big Ole Derek out here begging for his and Ashley's life to Jacob.  As for Dani, I didn't see it that way. Dani and Bill were together for 30 years and shared a family. I believe there was real love there at one point. Bill is still an ass and Dani is still crazy, but realizing she may lose him and her daughter's may lose their dad definitely struck a chord.

      Looking back...Primetime Ratings from the 80's

      Funny I randomly saw Kami’s lengthy post about the 44th anniversary of the Walton’s finale last week pop up in my news feed on Facebook. A few inaccuracies to her post but overall it was pretty insightful and interesting to read.

      Well, depending on rewrites...Jennifer Richards potentially slept with Brandon and Alan. It does feel like we're forgetting someone, but then again, maybe I'm confusing that with brothers, which would include a lot more.

      Maybe it’s me, and the fact that RC isn’t at the helm, but since Cwikly and Ford have taken over I’ve noticed the show doing a lot of things differently directing wise, and since the storyline of John’s demise began, the show has been using different scores, and dare I say better ones than this time last year. It’s interesting and I wonder if the any of it is Noel Maxam’s influence before being promoted.

      I think Nicole is about to figure out what's going on between Andre and Dani.
