Anthony Geary Bashes Wendy Riche's GH

Featured Replies

This is my last statement on it and I'm done.

I will ask the question.

Now do you know that is what he meant?

I could say Obviously he didn't mean that but how in the hell do I know that too.

There is nothing OBVIOUS about this except for what he said. And it is so ambiguous it could mean anything in the world.

The only thing obvious to me is that obviously neither one of us know what he meant.

Frankly I am going to lean on the side of caution and not slander a man or put words in his mouth until I do know what he meant by what he said.

He did say:

Over the past few years I’ve found a peace doing GH that I certainly didn’t have 10 or 15 years ago, during the Wendy Riche reign of terror.

Clearly it leads the reader to the assumption he was not happy with what was written for him during the Riche years.

I'm not putting words in his mouth and he doesn't need you or I to slander him. He can do enough of that on his own. I've only stated my opinion over and over of what I am picking up from him. It's obvious that we interpret things differently, but just read between the lines here. He's obviously insulting someone who did wonders for GH.

I believe Pat Falkin Smith once said "Gloria Monty is brilliant, but she runs the show like a tyrant." That I don't see as offensive. It was honest and tactful. I find no tact in what Geary said. That's how I am interpreting it.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks the guy was massacred for no good reason.

Sheesh, people take [!@#$%^&*] too personally. I doubt Wendy Riche gives a damn what Geary says about her.

The only reason he thinks this is because Guza sucks.his.ass.

Your DD avatar is smokin and that signature is fire. Love it.

Let me put it this way... It's only an unprofessional bash if you like the person that is being bashed and dislike the person doing the bashing.

I am sure if JFP were fired or Guza finally quit and someone else on the cast were to call it the Phelps and Guza Reign of Terror, there would NOT be this hypocritical debate. Whoever it is would probably get a standing ovation from the very same posters beating Geary over the head with their gavels of judgment.

After Wendy Riche was fired, there was a quote from the 2001 GH Fan Club Luncheon where Wally Kurth said something similar to Riche's tenure. Then, there are actors like Vanity Vanessa Marcil who said Wendy was "like a mother" to her.

The hypocrisy of the passion that fans have in wanting know what really goes on behind the scenes-yet-judges someone for telling tales out of school as being unprofessional really intrigues me. Especially when this board lights up like wildfire during the annual Gossip thread.

My thoughts exactly. We'd see "Phelps Reign of Terror" inserted into at least one signature.

More than ONE I am sure. ;)

Yeah. But...

That doesn't wipe out the fact that this id!ot Geary gave this shocking :lol: statement. Probably with GH PR department's help. And got what he deserved from SON people. Which won't mean much. I am more for: every case for itself approach. The point here is: did he say it and it wasn't true? And also: did someone say Guza & Phelps reign of terror and it was true. That's the point.

I don't think it's hypocritical. To me it shows a lack of respect period.It's not just to WR but to the viewers , he has a right to his opinion but to the media he could have chosen his words better if he had to express it. That's all

My problem is that Riche has been gone for over a DECADE. He mentioned her in the middle of his big "thank-you" and it was so random. Now, I know TG has always looked down on soaps, felt embarrassed about his success in the genre. He strived for better once, long ago. I'm not knocking him for expressing his opinion. I'm knocking him for dissing somebody who, at the time, he couldn't stop going on about how great it was to work with her! :lol: I'm knocking him for randomly throwing that in there because it sounds like spin to prop up the current blighted regime.
