Yes besides myself I talk to a few people online that are straight male soap fans(mostly Y&R and GH) like us but on soaps boards we are usually in the minority. And yes that sounds like GL (Guess in EW's mind some love will not save the world)

I would love to see RH Todd and TSJ Todd meet up just because it would be funny to see RH with his "yelling like a 7 year old who needs a nap" Todd take on TSJ with his "sometimes talking so low you can barley hear him and looking at the floor" Todd. They can fight over which one of them is more evil.

Does anyone remember in the early 90's when Oprah had some cast members from various soaps on. Elaine Princi tried to set up Frank Valentini and Laura Bonnarigo (her pre-married days) - you could tell then that Frank was obviously gay. It was awkward.

The anti-gay environment could be GL, but I wonder who at GL would actually be gay in the first place? Hasn't there been stuff said about opera-singing Ron Raines? But he's married with child, though. I can't think of any of those guys who would fit the bill, but there's always a surprise.

That said, I'd actually venture to say it's GH or DAYS.

I for one am glad that Wheeler nixed the lesbian relationship for Olivia and Natalia. I for one felt it would hurt the characters and did not want to see it between them at all. There are some characters you can see going gay after awhile, but Olivia is not one of them for me.

My guess on the show would be GL or ATWT with P&G involved esp. since they never have pushed forward with letting Nuke have a sex life. I just see either show having an anti-gay attitude backstage. I could also see Days being that way too for some reason.

As far as the new producer thing. AMC needs a new producer. Many of the shows do but with Pratt changing AMC for the better a new producer can only make it better. And surely Thorsten Kaye is professional enough that he is not going to leave because JHC gets fired. If not then it is his loss and it would be sorry of him to rob his fans of seeing him work just because of that.

With the climate of soap operas cutting back and all as they are, unless he has something definitely lined up he needs to stay where he is at. And I am sure that he has worked with other producers on other shows before.

    • Did I ever say that? I actually don't want to, but I have no problem doing so when I feel it's truly warranted. Case in point. I'll be more respectful about how you're involving yourself in these kind of discussions when you consider doing the same. Believe me when I tell you the way you attempt to dress up this attitude has placated no one, and this is not a minority forum opinion. It is easy enough, for example, to simply say that "I think many of us have underrated JFP's skills as a woman producer in an overly misogynistic industry". It's a lot easier than spending paragraph after paragraph amusedly shaking one's head while talking down to the clueless proles of SON about their blinkered, reductive opinions. And yes, I am saying that many of us have spoken up crediting Phelps for the skills she obviously has as a technical whiz and line producer. There's nothing out of turn about acknowledging that many posters know where she excelled. Or talking about where she clearly (for many of us) didn't. You don't have to agree, but you could try listening to someone other than yourself.
    • It’s a recurring tension in Daytime: the willingness to take risks can fuel a show's longevity, but the actresses themselves often bear the long-term consequences of audience backlash.
    • I pray Eva never lets Dana back into her life, because she deserves better. Dana isn't a mother, nor is she a parent.
    • Daphnee's performance very much reminded me of Anna Holbrook's on Another World when Sharlene was dealing with John and Felicia's affair. Angry but well controlled and believable. A good start for an Emmy reel. If there is one thing an evil Black mother is going to do, it is lock you out the house. Eva shouldn't have even bothered to go home.  Leslie calling Martin "Mr. President" was interesting. How much exactly does she know about the family and has someone higher up sent her to cause trouble? Anita's speech to Leslie was dignified like Geraldine Whitney (EON) or Kim Hughes (ATWT) would have gone off on somebody.
    • Thanks for posting this, fascinating read. It's clear how ambivalent Wyndham is about Justine. IMO, it reads like she agrees that the end of the storyline was bad, but reading between the lines I think she thought she was doing good work for the meat of it....which was not the case. As bad as the writing for most of that story was, it was truly made worse by her embarrassing performance. After the story concluded she kept falling back into Justine ticks, when she wasn't phoning he scenes in. Not to play Freud, but was it to tr*ll her critics?  
    • I better hear "The Emmy goes to Ambyr Michelle" come Emmy time lol
