Members Cheap21 Posted December 2, 2008 Members Share Posted December 2, 2008 This is a damn shame. I came across this website which had these 4 GH covers. Notice a common theme? Every other week SID literally has a cover hyping the death of one of its characters. Its usually the same lot, Carly, Sonny, Jason, Claudia, Liz, Sam, etc... Thing is NONE of them die. I dont even know how they manage to sell anything."Who Lives, Who Dies?" , "Murder!" , "Another Death!" and theres more. Check out some other covers from the past year: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Adam Posted December 2, 2008 Members Share Posted December 2, 2008 Does anyone even still buy these things? Even SOD has sunk to these depths now.... Remember when Soap magazines were actually good, and actually had cover shoots, instead of bad photoshop jobs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members YRBB Posted December 2, 2008 Members Share Posted December 2, 2008 I have stopped buying this stuff for months now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cheap21 Posted December 2, 2008 Author Members Share Posted December 2, 2008 I havent watched the show in ages and seeing those covers reminded me exactly why I finally gave up. I swear the promos for the past month have all been the same about some russians taking Jake's son. Saw the first minute of the show at the tail end of OLTL yesterday and they finally took the kid.

Members Cat Posted December 4, 2008 Members Share Posted December 4, 2008 Co-sign. Also: notice how often they trot out Vanessa Marcil's picture to promote some non-story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MarkH Posted December 6, 2008 Members Share Posted December 6, 2008 No GH thread? I'm not a regular viewer, but just happened to see the tail end of Friday 10/5's show. I totally understand the complaints about this mob-based show and all the violence. But this was among the most riveting, well-produced action sequences I have seen on soaps. If you ignore Jason's kevlar status (no bullets can penetrate Stone Cold), the fast cuts and the enduring mystery of "Where is Jake?" (do we know?) kept me watching. This isn't bad, is it?

Members nell17 Posted December 6, 2008 Members Share Posted December 6, 2008 Those covers are hilarious!!! I swear Vanessa's picture is on there every other issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cheap21 Posted December 6, 2008 Author Members Share Posted December 6, 2008 lol...thats bc she is. Check out the current issue. I hope Vanessa got her lawyer to make them pay her royalties for plastering her face all over their mags. OMG, will Sonny stay or go? Yeah like they havent done one of these already Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Angela Posted December 6, 2008 Members Share Posted December 6, 2008 LOL, I thought they only did that with AMC: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cheap21 Posted December 7, 2008 Author Members Share Posted December 7, 2008 ^^^ LMAO! And check out how many of those covers STILL hint at a GH death even when GH isnt the lead story Boy this mag is pathetic! Did they really try and hint that Britney Spears was going to be a Babe recast? Anything to sell a rag I guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Toups Posted December 7, 2008 Administrator Share Posted December 7, 2008 Mark, it was same old same old for us who've seen so many of Guza's shootouts montages. It's nothing new to us. It's the same shit over and over. LMAO at all the SID covers. What a pathetic magazine! LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MarkH Posted December 7, 2008 Members Share Posted December 7, 2008 Yeah, okay. I get that. Not having watched most of the others, for me it was fresh and rather exciting. SID-CBS is actually better, sometimes, than SOD in content. For example, the latest issue has the first of a two-part DETAILED interview with Paul Rauch and Maria Arena Bell of Y&R. Michael Maloney, who is not bad, wrote the piece. The paper is better, and so are the pictures. I'm not claiming this is The New Yorker or Newsweek. It's a soap rag. But when I have looked PAST the cover, I have sometimes been positively surprised. I wonder if CBS and ABC versions are different--targeted at different audiences?

Members phloeishot Posted December 7, 2008 Members Share Posted December 7, 2008 I think they put those who will die covers up when they're in contract negotiations with the actors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MichaelGL Posted December 7, 2008 Members Share Posted December 7, 2008 Yeah just about every soap has a repeat headline. This is just like SOD's "The Plan to Save DAYS!". GL's is whether or not Phillip will return. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
