Y&R/B&B: Kay Alden Interview

[R Sinclair]

Reach for the stars, my love... never mind the fact that they're only 2 inches off the ground...

[Aback]

Good Lord... Sylph, I like you better now that you've stopped making guest/troll-like appearences, and you are actually back at participating actively. [<-- and, no, I'm not smiling. It just means I'm not provoking you]

But, man... do you need to give MarkH a break! You're constantly attacking him about something. Okay, maybe 'attacking' is too strong. But you get what I mean. You know that you two live on different planets; now cope with it! :)

[Cat]

Oh, for the love of-- I thought this thread would have posts talking about Alden! I mean, her writing. OK. I give up, too.

[Sylph]

Yeah. There's a whole lotta cr*p in this thread. Which was to be expected.

Hotness... Stop annoying me and persecuting me; you're not the local policemen & expert on ethics & morality. Go and discuss Y&R and leave me alone. Mark has a tongue and fingers and can defend himself!

[Cat]

Sylph! I fully include you in my statement! Everything has become about-Alden-but-not-really-about-Alden-at-all. It's about sparring virtually with people. Folks, there is an off-topic section for that. Feel free to start up your own thread there in which to take out your frustrations on each other. You could call it The Whipping Room.

[Sylph]

You thought I didn't know that?! LMAO!

[Aback]

You're probably right. I apologize for annoying you, and I didn't mean to sound like the local police.

PS. I can't find the Sally Sussman-Morina interview. Was it deleted? Or did they move it on another forum?

[MarkH]

Interesting! It was here, and now it is gone.

Can anyone explain what happened?

[Evan]

Brad Bell is responsible for the writing on B&B, blame him for the poor quality of the SLs. I doubt Kay Alden has much influence, if any.

[Sylph]

Wow, it's gone?

Could it be she requested it be removed?

[Aback]

^ Wowza, that would be juicy. Maybe it was because she was too candid about LML? But I suppose FrenchFan had told her that he would post it online!

[Sylph]

I think she might have requested it because she was... Ridiculed kind of. Lots of posts She sucks.

It's just a theory, who knows what happened...

[YRBB]

I loved Alden's run--despite her flaws.

Yeah, I waited 4 pages to say that.

[Cat]

Maybe she got upset when she read some of the follow-up posts?

I hope not. I'd feel bad if she thought we were mean. And I want FrenchFan to continue interviewing writers! The questions are always judicious.

[MarkH]

Unless SSM has sent FrenchFan a cease-and-desist memo, I would PM him and ask for a private copy.

I really GAINED respect for SSM in that, mostly because of her candor. I thought it showed her in a good light. But perhaps she felt it was too candid, and perhaps it got broader distribution than she expected (e.g., WeLoveSoaps ran it...though I'll be few saw it, since the board crashed immediately thereafter).
