Members marceline Posted February 7, 2009 Members Share Posted February 7, 2009 It's not even pimping anymore, it BEGGING. "Please watch! You have to watch! We need you!" I've heard dedications on late night radio love song shows that were less desperate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DaytimeFan Posted February 7, 2009 Members Share Posted February 7, 2009 I forgot to add, I'm really REALLY against any of the recent firings from DAYS washing up at Y&R or B&B. Those shows don't need the albatrosses that Deidre Hall, Drake Hogestyn, Mary Beth Evans and Stephen Nichols would all be. Those shows need to focus on the casts they have now and not [!@#$%^&*] things up by importing a DAYS star to play a character that is no longer relevant.

Members alwaysAMC Posted February 7, 2009 Members Share Posted February 7, 2009 Yes! That is her... I totally miss her - she was awesome. I saw her on a commercial a few years ago, and one some random episode of a TV show I used to watch (escapes me...) -- oh and I saw her on this random movie last year (again, escapes me...but I always go ARLENE!)

Members bandbfan Posted February 7, 2009 Members Share Posted February 7, 2009 I guess I was pretty neutral on the shipping thing. It WAS opposite of fashion, but I never paid that much attention to it. I don't necessarily care about his business coming back, it's just that he would be a logical character since the Marone's have come back to the frontburner, and are involved in a business storyline (whether it be shipping or not).

Members DRW50 Posted February 7, 2009 Members Share Posted February 7, 2009 I don't understand the slam against Jill Lorie Hurst because she's only written for Guiding Light. Is it an accomplishment for a soap writer to go glom onto a half-dozen different soaps? Hasn't Nelson's beloved Ron Carlivati only written for OLTL?

Members dragonflies Posted February 7, 2009 Members Share Posted February 7, 2009 So I bet if it were GL Martha Byrne were gonna be writing for, Nelson would suddenly be it's biggest fan? It's idiocy like that, that just makes him a walking contradiction Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Dan Posted February 7, 2009 Members Share Posted February 7, 2009 Truth be told, I LMAO at that part. Not a slam on the show really. I'm just still in disbelief I'm watching again after 5 years (and not outright hating it!). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MichaelGL Posted February 7, 2009 Members Share Posted February 7, 2009 Eh Nelson is being Nelson. That makes two of us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MarkH Posted February 7, 2009 Members Share Posted February 7, 2009 Nelson has done more to generate enthusiasm for the soap genre than any other mainstream media. Of course he tries to generate buzz with polarization. That's also what happens on The View, Rush Limbaugh, Michael Savage, Perez Hilton. It is a persona. I personally sometimes have issues. Would we rather have NOTHING? US TV Guide just stepped out of the soap biz (online), and I feel we are poorer for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members rhinohide Posted February 7, 2009 Members Share Posted February 7, 2009 Mark, I get what you're saying about Nelson, but for me it just comes off as fangurlish and unprofessional. He snipes at other columnists or fans who don't agree with him. He vascillates for virtually no reason. He just confirms what I've believed about so many columnists -- they're simply fans with a forum. No more informed or intelligent than many posters on this board. And I wonder how he'd feel to be compared to Rush Limbaugh? Ugh! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Kstaff Posted February 8, 2009 Members Share Posted February 8, 2009 Personally, I find that comparison hilarious! But I agree with your comments about Branco's "professionalism". But, that comment he made about pedophilia really set me off. (In another column). That was crossing the line, and I hope they ream his ass for it.
