I wonder whats gonna happen to some of these people who still work at SOD/SOW and are spilling this stuff. One of them already said Lynn Leheay was trying to figure out who they were. And who's gonna replace Carolyn? Or a better question, who do you want to replace Carolyn?

Even though that thread has turned predictably ugly. (What started out as a good deal of justifiable vindication for years of oppression has turned into an online version of Jerry Springer) I can't help but be grateful for the light it has shed on some of the factors that over the recent years, clearly accelerated the death of daytime. Assuming 50% of everything being said is a lie, the other half - say for instance Hinsey's Blondie's scam - is a dirty, rotten shame.

Well, I think that the decline of daytime began before there were just 3 soap mags, and while a larger number of soap mags were still thriving. Once you get into the shrinking world of daytime, then problems become manifest & feed into each other.

I hate the mixture of truth & falsehood in something that will undoubtedly have a certain amount of 'street cred'. In June 1999 we used Blondie's for an AW Fan Reunion & it was chosen for location & price & space - although in the final analysis it's not really a good space. But, NYC venues are expensive, so less expensive still makes it somewhat appealing. Anyway at that time I don't believe that Hinsey had bought into a part of it. We had that Fan Reunion the next June, too, in 2000. I don't know when it was that she bought into Blondie's. I thought it was potentially a huge conflict of interest. I thought the same about her column in the NY Daily News.

Why was NYDN a conflict of interest? Lots of reporters/columnists have multiple columns. I never saw her promote SOD/SOW in NYDN, or vice versa.

That said, I am wondering if the rumors that she ALSO lost NYDN are true? If that is the case, what COULD she have done?

Oh, I have read it twice :-). What I'm trying to figure out is why the NYDN column was a conflict of interest because she was at SOD/SOW. Sorry if this is obvious, but I don't see the inherent conflict. On the other hand, with all the column mentions Blondie's got...THERE I see the conflict loud and clear!

Well, as I said, it could potentially be a conflict of interest, when your primary employment is as the Editor of a soap mag & you cover events & shows & do interviews for that entity & then if you scoop your own mag with info that will go to print in the weekly newspaper column first. If you see what I mean, ... potentially ... So, the fact that many reporters/columnists do so, is not really the same thing as full-time job & job on the side, in addition, nor is it the same thing with an Editor position.

I have no idea her status at the NY Daily News, but one thing that sometimes happens is that people have burned too many bridges.

    • 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
