Members ChiTownBoi03 Posted July 13, 2009 Members Share Posted July 13, 2009 Top actor to watch Thom Bierdz...??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Southofnowhere Posted July 13, 2009 Members Share Posted July 13, 2009 Does the actress have cancer? If so he needs to be FIRED ASAP! If it's just the character i'm okay with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SteveFrame Posted July 13, 2009 Members Share Posted July 13, 2009 One more bad career move: TV Guide Canada hiring Nelson to report on the soaps. And is he seeking out another enemy. I don't think he and Marlena still get along at all. And now he takes a shot at Soap Central by saying We Love Soaps podcast is better. Does he not ever try to stop kissing up to someone? And thanks for proving once again how he often lets his own agendas get in front of things. I am so sure that Kish - a storyline that hardly gets any play at all yet - is the reason for OLTL moving ahead in the ratings. Thanks for futher giving credence to the false idea that couples or one character is what moves soap ratings these days. If that was the case then why are GL and ATWT both near the bottom all the time now. Nuke and Otalia are supposed to have 2 of the biggest fan bases in daytime now. It sure hasn't helped GL and ATWT. And the Thom Bierdz being an actor to watch - that would made me laugh too. Nelson, I still love you bro, but all the good you say here is so overshadowed by the agendas.

Members BadZoe Posted July 13, 2009 Members Share Posted July 13, 2009 If CK had cancer I'd say it was cruel. Hopefully her fictional character's cancer is terminal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SteveFrame Posted July 13, 2009 Members Share Posted July 13, 2009 Oh yeah that is the way to ever get the Winters family back to any prominence on the show - kill the only real Winters child there. And just further make them more irrelevant to the canvas than they are now. It just goes to show that all the hoopla about killing what some call "LEGACY CHARACTERS" only matter when it is someone they like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Soapsuds Posted July 13, 2009 Members Share Posted July 13, 2009 So who is the actor/actors who laughed in Ellen Wheeler's face?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BadZoe Posted July 13, 2009 Members Share Posted July 13, 2009 Well the term Legacy Character would suggest to me that they are some kind of Character, while Lily is not. She's completely vacuous and a piss poor representation of the Winters/Barbers. Besides, Maria seems to listen to a lot of Bob Dylan because in her world we should remember that "Death is not the end" However, I don't think they want any representation, because if they did, they would be bringing on Big Nate and using Neil and Olivia as more than just sounding boards.

Members jcar03 Posted July 13, 2009 Members Share Posted July 13, 2009 I honestly think he is full of crap on most of those blind items. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members EastMA2 Posted July 13, 2009 Members Share Posted July 13, 2009 I'm not sure, but I THINK he wants us to think that it's Jerry verDorn. I doubt it's him though - he's too much of a gentleman and even though he was screwed at GL, he's always been such a supporter of GL that I think he'd come back if his deal with ABC would allow it.

Members P.J. Posted July 13, 2009 Members Share Posted July 13, 2009 What a friggin' insult...he names some stupid STUFFED CAT as an "actress to watch"????? I really wish he'd get the stick out of his ass and give Maura some real credit for her acting---in spite of the fact it's on his "hit list soap". And STOP whoring the Carly/Holden pairing----arguably the worst idea Goutman and Pissy EVER had and only a vehicle to pimp Beck's Lily and create sympathy for a recast. A bland recast at that.

Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted July 13, 2009 Members Share Posted July 13, 2009 He really needs to get over his Y&R love, because the show isn't as good as he's making out out to be. I really think he's part of the reason MAB and Company might believe they're doing so much right, because they aren't getting any real constructive criticism from the press. Just people who kiss their asses for putting on such a crappy show. Oh well, all I can hope for at this point is for someone at SONY to fire these people at the end of the year, and we'll see how much Nelson enjoys this crap then.

Members bellcurve Posted July 13, 2009 Members Share Posted July 13, 2009 We'll see how much praise Maria, Sheffer, and Hamner get when the show gets a 3.0 household by the end of the year. At the rate it's going, Y&R is sure to go to record lows soon enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SteveFrame Posted July 14, 2009 Members Share Posted July 14, 2009 He doesn't say it in this column, but several times on Facebook and in his columns lately he will say something against Y&R but he'll say well I am going to cut them some slack or something like that until I see this or that. Or I'll give them some time. Yeah how often has he done that for any other soap. I think a lot of it is just him, but I think he honestly reads the message boards and whatever the majority is there he writes the same too. Gives voice to the majority. You notice that even in the wake of Days improvements, he has yet to say anything much positive about the show ever. Because most fans are so against Higley. And I agree about Y&R with the press and Nelson - it's as if they are so caught up in praising them that they don't even get the constructive criticism that they need to be hearing from someone. SOD and SOW are too scared to speak up because Y&R sells mags and they won't do anything to cut their sources off. And Nelson has his lips permanently glued to MAB's butt that he can't get them off long enough to look at the show constructively. Nelson has a personality and a likability that if he would just do his job, he could be a wonderful gift to the world of soaps. But he tries to be too much of a fan boy and a comedian and a kiss ass that he can't even be taken seriously half the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
