I admit, I giggled but c'mon... He then complains when shows don't accept his interview requests? You don't need ot be a suck up (and I agree too much of the soap press is) but you don't go mocking someone (and think you can get away with it by calling it a humour column) and then expect to be welcomed to their set lol

ITA. Soon he'll be bitching on Daytime Confidential when everyone is invited to some CBS party but him. :rolleyes:

Everyone you should go to goldderby.com and see the mud slinging I have had to deal with Nelson Branco. He has threatened to reveal all my personal info from a website I am a member to. Go to N RATINGS-JUST THE TOPS, is that illegial to do that? To reveal personal info from a person's membership on a message board. He is some piece of work and the way he spoke to me in these debates were practically revealing the type of character he is.

Wow!!! I just finished reading that thread! He just keeps proving that he's unprofessional and a tabloid reporter. My God, the way he gloats and stomps all over people. Disgusting.

WOw I'm sorry he attacked you so permanently--he sure has a surprisingly thin skin. as a Canadian I hate that he keeps mentioning how he's Canadian and there journalism is fair, bla bla bla. Yeah I admit I often think that a lot abotu Canadian cultur eis more even handed than American but c'mon--he is proud that we dont' have a Fox News--yet his one sided Soap "journalism" is the equivalent! LOL

This is sad, and it is very unprofessional to attack her religion..

However, anytime anyone defends Wheeler, even half way, I have to step in as she gutted the show I love.

Wheeler may have been a great actress, but who gives a damn, she is a [!@#$%^&*] of a producer. True, she didnt have a choice on the new format but she did have three years before that to raise the ratings and stave off some of the cuts. What did she do? Rip the heart out of GL, firing JVD...but keeping Brad FREAKING Cole!?!?!?She has a chance to get GA back, but she insists that Phillip be nuts!!??!? She pushes the horrendous duo of Daisy and the murderer??

The woman is a joke and I dont care if Bloom LURVES her or not, she is the final straw in the prolonged death of this show...Morman or not!?!!?!?!

Gray this is a sad thing for me though when the industry is deviod of the class it used to have. OMG BRING BACK MIMI TORCHIN and offer her the moon, sun and stars to return to daytime anywhere. That woman is pure class and treated the industry like it was gold. OMG SOW before the SOD minions took it over was all about treating the industry like it was the golden standard in the industry. I still get my fix with Marlena who I used to love every single article of hers in SOW. Gray what has happened to the days of intelligent, wonderful, honest great soap journalism. I can understand Bloom's position to boycott Nelson. Who the hell is Nelson to take on Barbara Bloom? Bloom is the CBS daytime prexy and Nelson is just known as some seedy journalist. The thing about is we have freedom of speech in this country. When it comes down to mocking someone's religion like Nelson did it makes him look so bad not only in front of internet community, his peers but to the TPTB in the industry. Daysfanatic I am not a big Wheeler fan for GL. I think she needs work but I am not going to say she has zero talent. She was an amazing actress in the industry. OMG Cindy dying of AIDS was so sad. As I have said though Wheeler really had no choice with this format, it was either this or GL was canned. Anyways not many actresses get elevated behind the scenes in the community and she is the only real daytime actress since Francesca James who has been an executive producer. Anyways my thing is trash the show and trash her vision that is fine but to trash the woman's religion. Her being a mormon should have nothing to do with the state of the show. That is discrimination against someone's religion. Bloom loves Wheeler, so she sees this I would not be surprised that she boycotts anyone CBS from having anything to do with Nelson.

She certainly did gut GL and she should be called out on it as often as possible!

The fact that Nelson chose instead to make fun of her religion, made allusions to her possibly being gay and just generally smeared her personal reputation as being a straight-up loon was totally out of line. He singled her out in some "comedic" attack -- and picked on all the things that the viewer could not care less about. I can't remember anything in that skit about GL itself -- the only that stands out is EW "touching her boob" and prattling on about not being gay. The hell?
