Members lovely_m Posted September 14, 2011 Members Share Posted September 14, 2011 Kelly Monaco- I know she's a Frons fave, but I can't help feeling sorry for her. It's not her fault Frons hates Liz/Rebecca Herbst. Y&R hairstylist- Getting blamed for Amelie Henlie's hairstyle choices. Any actor who is playing a good character today. I don't mean anti-hero/heroine, but a genuine good guy. If your character does anything wrong he/she gets labeled a hypocrite and if they don't do anything wrong they're labeled boring.

Members marceline Posted September 14, 2011 Members Share Posted September 14, 2011 After saying that, I feel sorry for YOU because you are going to get a world of hate. LOL! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted September 14, 2011 Members Share Posted September 14, 2011 Barbara Berjer, abruptly fired from 3 P&G soaps, the most disgusting being her AW exit, where her delightful character was given a stroke, then killed off in a disgusting plug-pulling story.

Members Ms. Chandler Quartermaine Posted September 14, 2011 Members Share Posted September 14, 2011 They are always hating on REG, I don't care...I'm used to it . I should have added something about Tangeline for good measure haha! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted September 14, 2011 Members Share Posted September 14, 2011 I had my issues with the Pauline character during her last couple of years on the show, but I always thought Wendy Richard was treated horribly by TPTB at EastEnders towards the end of her run. Pauline was killed off in the most humiliating way, and even at the character's funeral (which should have been a huge event for the show, but wasn't), they still found a way to make a mockery of her. I do think Pauline was essential to the foundation and grain of EastEnders, and without her, the show wouldn't have been the same. It's even more sad that Wendy died not long after her exit.

Members quartermainefan Posted September 14, 2011 Members Share Posted September 14, 2011 Brenda Benet, who it is said was forced to act out a story that was too close to her own personal tragedies and eventually wound up killing herself. Michael Zaslow Genie Francis. I know this is out of left field, but after that story where Monty said she didn't care if Francis died from her drug habit because Geary was the show, and how she tried to carry on her career but ABC killed her LOVING character to coerce her back to GH only to run into abuse about weight and an unfair sexist double standard that prompted her to quit again, I feel sorry for her. Although she has a happy home life it seems. Phil Carey and Anna Lee for both being discarded so close to the end Andrea Evans who was forced to run away from her show because of a stalker The two guys from OLTL who got fired and blamed for declining ratings because they played gay characters Melody Thomas-Scott for being treated like dirt on a show she helped make #1 all the old ladies who watched GL, ATWT and all the other P&G soaps for decades and whose voice doesn't count for the networks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members yr9190 Posted September 14, 2011 Members Share Posted September 14, 2011 I feel sorry for most of the vets at Y&R, who are slowly seeing their airtime get snatched from them by New non acting young folks, stars from other soaps and now American Idol contestants. I feel Bad for Kimberlin Brown. The writers have officially made a mockery out of the Sheila Carter character by adding all these very unnecessary history changes and creating Sara Smythe, and all Kimberlin was trying to do was recover from a car accident, preventing her to come to Y&R when they wanted her for what would become the Pheila story. I feel bad for Bill Bell (RIP) on how his family members just keep dismantling his soaps. And because this might be true.... I KIND OF feel bad for MAB for probably thinking (like Frons) that she is doing everything right for the show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted September 14, 2011 Members Share Posted September 14, 2011 Supposedly MAB is rarely even involved with Y&R. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members yr9190 Posted September 14, 2011 Members Share Posted September 14, 2011 I heard that too... and its because she is too busy going to all these celebrity events looking for new characters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Quent Posted September 14, 2011 Members Share Posted September 14, 2011 I feel sorry for Eileen Fulton. I was never a Lisa fan (or EF fan, for that matter), but her contribution to the history of ATWT is indisputable. She was daytime's first bitch, paving the way for Robin Strasser's Rachel Davis, Susan Lucci's Erica Kane and countless others. She was so popular that she was spun off into her own prime-time show Our Private World. And what was her thanks when ATWT ended after 54 years? Two throwaway lines in the last episode. To treat someone so important to the history of the show in such a thoughtless manner is beyond contemptible. There's a special place in hell for Chris Goutman.

Members DRW50 Posted September 14, 2011 Members Share Posted September 14, 2011 Too true about Eileen Fulton I also have to add AW letting Aunt Liz - one of their best characters - fade into oblivion. Poor Irene Dailey. And Lisa Brown's material in her GL return. Yikes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted September 14, 2011 Members Share Posted September 14, 2011 I feel sorry for ANOTHER WORLD's final cast. They worked their a$$es off to make a(nother) miracle happen. And I feel sorry for Christopher Goutman. If he had taken the time to get to know some Internet fans, once he weeded out the crazies, he would've found an abundant number of passionate, educated and genuine people who know their [!@#$%^&*].

Members EricMontreal22 Posted September 14, 2011 Members Share Posted September 14, 2011 I agree, and Lovers and Friends is a soap I'd kill to see, but it does seem that by that point Lemay was already burning out and losing some interest. He doesn't talk much about it in 8 Years in Another World, but that's just the impression I get, and that Tom King doing FRFP, didn't really seem to be an issue for Lemay. yes it deserved more of a chance, but... I've never liked hi writing much, but I see your point. he also seemed a conflicted man with some serious issues (though that's conjecture on my part--he did seem to be very conflicted between his possible sexuality and his strong religious beliefs--which manifested themselves in some particularly weird stories on Passions. I kinda agree, actually. I think he truly felt, at least at some point, that he was doing his best for the genre, and unlike the P&G heads, you couldn't say he was apathetic about soaps. It's too bad he was so inept, and really doesn't seem to know how stupid many of his comments, not to mention actions, were... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MichaelGL Posted September 14, 2011 Members Share Posted September 14, 2011 I felt sorry for Ed Scott at DAYS, who's attempts at making that soap rise above mediocrity was hindered by two incompetent Head Writers and an incompetent boss as well. Hopefully Noel Maxam won't have the same problem as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
