LOL...CH is delusional if she doesnt think GH is being cancelled. Dumb bitch

What's even worse about that is how PP assured fans via several articles that the cast would remain intact. I mean, it makes sense to cut costs and at least they seemed to be thinking about it, but they also seemed to be playing a two-faced game of saying they wanted the original cast and talking to several of them, while making plans to do otherwise.

I still don't get it--American actors film shows in Canada all the time... Why would they all have to be recast? (I believe they do ask that a certain amount of the cast--the small roles, etc, are Canadian but not sure--extras obviously are) Or is it just because many wouldn't move?

More Proof PP was a fiasco

HA Maggie Smith was not on OLTL Great interview, but it is sad--and I for some reason didn't even really think that this has wasted them a ton of time they could be looking for work.

Perhaps, Ilene Kristen meant Grayson Hall (ex-Euphemia, OLTL; ex-Dr. Julia Hoffman, DARK SHADOWS)?

Didn't Uta Hagen do one of her very very rare screen appearances on OLTL? Not that she looks anything like Smith but...

She also said they didn't move AMC to LA just to cancel it

Ilene Kristen weighs in on OLTL's cancellation

You know, one of these days, Maggie Smith herself is gonna shock the hell out of everyone (myself included!) and talk about that one-day cameo appearance she made on some "soaper in the States" for shits and giggles.

I wonder if Ilene confused her with:

IK got Dame Maggie Smith confused with Valarie Pettiford?

Is it me, or didn't Tina, Megan and even Cord and Sheila feel like supporting actors to "Babs" and the director in that scene? That's why I didn't like the Gottlieb era: it felt like OLTL belonged to anyone except the characters we actually tuned in for.

I think the only real focus was on racism and the broad caricatures took over - I do see what you mean though. Characterization was sometimes very strong in that era but I think plot often came first.

I did kind of laugh in that interview when Ilene seemed to run through a checklist of stuff soap fans say/do which is supposed to show how unstable they are, and yet she herself says it (praising the Frons boos; trashing OWN; saying she thought the soaps would have replaced The Chew; saying PP did this to help ABC).

From Carolyn Hinsey's FB

WARNING: Anyone who posts here that another soap is being cancelled will be blocked. Trust me: Frank and Ron are not uprooting their lives to move to LA without a longterm promise and the time they need to fix GH. I know a LOT more than you do. So save it, losers.

This cracks me up! People who think blocking people on Facebook, Twitter or other forums for discussion (soap opera message boards) gives them immense, life-changing power. As if having the power to block them there is also giving them to power to block them... IN LIFE! Hinsey's reaction is typical from a woman who thinks that no one has the right to criticize her since it's "only my opinion." Kinda like some of the women I detest around these parts. Dishing out loads of rude, condescending crap that's "only my opinion," and then crying foul when challenged. It's hilarious how this chick and Biggie Smalls (and others) call themselves "journalists" yet seem to have no concept of the first amendment and that it works both ways. I guess they both cut class to pig out at Häagen-Dazs the day that was being taught,

But one has to question... is Ron moving to LA? It's common knowledge that, these days, even head writers don't have to leave the comfort of their homes to work, much less move across country.

She's very patronizing, but otherwise I didn't think she said anything bad.

Ruh roh, now she'll be in the path of the crazies
