Members AllMyDaysatGH Posted April 27, 2011 Members Share Posted April 27, 2011 Who could this be? I'm thinking Chris Goutman. He was at AW & ATWT until they were cancelled. He's all I can think of... Thinking it's him, I did a little bit at some of the things he said. But I did love this quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Khan Posted April 27, 2011 Members Share Posted April 27, 2011 Why should the soap press (or the soap fans, for that matter) stop being critical of the genre just b/c they're only four soaps left and the soaps are their proverbial bread and butter? If the criticism is "constant," maybe that's b/c the product TPTB keep handing us does not warrant praise. Just a thought. Who said we were clamoring for those things? All we ever really clamored for, by my estimation, was good story. If TPTB think we wanted all that other [!@#$%^&*], then they must've received some bad information. Probably. But that's presuming viewers sit down and watch the entire hour, including commercials, when we all know that isn't the case anymore. Thanks to DVR's and such, people can skip them, along with other things; and we know that the average episode of a soap runs no more than 40 minutes, if that. So, IOW, here's yet one more person from the industry who keeps saying "Soaps are dying, b/c the world is changing!," and yet is ignorant at the same time about how it's changing.

Members marceline Posted April 27, 2011 Members Share Posted April 27, 2011 I'm so tired of hearing how knowing what I want to see and asking for it makes me a bad viewer. Kiss my ass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Antoyne Posted April 27, 2011 Members Share Posted April 27, 2011 That McTavish quote can apply to Dena Higley as well.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members All My Shadows Posted April 27, 2011 Members Share Posted April 27, 2011 That McTavish quote can probably apply to the f!cker who said it, too. He lost me when he told me told me that I was clamoring for Rebecca Budig to do Skating with the Stars. No I wasn't. I haven't the time to properly respond to that interview, but it's coming. Trust me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted April 27, 2011 Members Share Posted April 27, 2011 McTavish's GH was nothing compared to Guza/Pratt or Guza alone - whoever did the interview probably just didn't want to badmouth a current headwriter. Where is all this "constant criticism"? The soap press has become far more sycophantic in the last ten years. Where did it get soaps? Right down the craphole.

Members Antoyne Posted April 27, 2011 Members Share Posted April 27, 2011 Did anyone beg for movie stars to come to Soaps? I've never really cared to see the two mixed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DRW50 Posted April 27, 2011 Members Share Posted April 27, 2011 McTavish was at GH from 2001-2002, give or take. Her run wasn't good but was ten times anything since. I laughed at the "begged for movie stars" line. That's an example, yet another example, of how out of touch the industry is. THEY wanted movie stars, because THEY are ashamed of soaps. Viewers did not. That's why the supposed "movie star" Franco brought a ratings drop to GH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dragonflies Posted April 27, 2011 Members Share Posted April 27, 2011 In the 90's? I know she was behind the Sonny & Alexis sleeping together which IMO damaged the character of Alexis ALOT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
