Members DRW50 Posted December 15, 2011 Members Share Posted December 15, 2011 She is a shill and has been for years - I'm not sure if anyone has any belief in her opinion. At least she isn't talking about a fireplace poker going in someone's vagina. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DRW50 Posted December 15, 2011 Members Share Posted December 15, 2011 In the early days of her SOD column she pretty much said she wanted Stephanie to put a fireplace poker in Brooke's vagina. When people called her on this, she said that wasn't what she meant...but it was a cheap ploy for "controversy," and one of the reasons I lost interest in the magazine in those years.

Members Wendy Posted December 15, 2011 Author Members Share Posted December 15, 2011 Always thought SOD went into the crapper around the mid '90s. Isn't that when this wench took over? The fireplace poker comment makes so much more sense now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted December 15, 2011 Members Share Posted December 15, 2011 That was when she got more power, yes. She'd been there a long time but I think her column started around 1998. I thought it was very "look at me look at me" when Digest in the past had been more matter-of-fact and any shock value stuff was hidden behind a pseudonym (like Diva von Dish). There was a lot of crassness and inside stuff yet also a lot of more and more blatant shilling. It hollowed out both magazines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members beebs Posted December 15, 2011 Members Share Posted December 15, 2011 That...is beyond disturbing. Controversy is one thing, that's...sadistic to even THINK about let alone type and publish...in a SOAP magazine?? *shudder* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted December 15, 2011 Members Share Posted December 15, 2011 So I am a "loser" for refusing to stick my proverbial head in the sand (or somewheres else) when it comes to GH's or any other remaining soap's chances for survival. Good to know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SFK Posted December 15, 2011 Members Share Posted December 15, 2011 A title and a paycheck. The only damn differences between a member of the soap press and *us*. And just as the *us* may encompasseshe good and the bad, the zany and the sane, there is no differences when it comes to the "informed", "knowledgeable" "professionals". Soap opera is a fan's medium. Anyone who makes their buck commenting on and/or critiquing the medium could easily be you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JellicleCat Posted December 15, 2011 Members Share Posted December 15, 2011 I wonder how long it will take for her to turn to the "my facebook account was hacked"-excuse? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members marceline Posted December 15, 2011 Members Share Posted December 15, 2011 So according to Cleopatra, Queen of Denial, reality and longterm memory is for losers. Noted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Shawn Posted December 15, 2011 Members Share Posted December 15, 2011 I remember years ago, I was featured in SOW in Carolyn's Corner. We went back and forth about viewer fanatacism, and while I told her in our back and forth emails that a certain FEW fans were sending me threats due to my dislike of a certain couple, she twisted my words and printed that I called out an ENTIRE fanbase. I emailed her after I saw the article and told her I wanted a clarification from her. She told me not to email her again and to move on. She just wanted to ignite a firestorm, and in the process, she gave me a bad name. Needless to say, I'm still bitter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members JONNYSBRO Posted December 15, 2011 Members Share Posted December 15, 2011 This woman NEEDS TO GET OVER IT. Soaps are OVER sweetheart. So Brian Frons stepping down from the position and them replacing him with a woman whose main focus is ALTERNATIVE SHOWS doesn't spell the end of GH. GH is a goner and Frank/Ron last minute were brought on to bring it to a big finale. GH has even been tieing the show a show that costs 55% percent less then GH. Carolyn is a total MORON. I can't wait until the GH/ABC announcement is made and shes eating crow. GH is a GONER NO MATTER WHAT. Even if the Revolution BOMBS, ABC's new prexy of daytime is developing other reality/alternative pilot shows to replace it. These shows are very easy to replace. They don't work then its on to the next CHEAP SHOW. In this economy its about reality/alternative and CHEAP. GH is a done. Maybe Frank/Ron are moving to LA for this because its employment and hey if its six months it still MONEY IDIOT. ' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Gray Bunny Posted December 15, 2011 Members Share Posted December 15, 2011 I wonder how SOD/SOW editors' salaries have changed over the past 12 years, as they've gone from covering 11 soaps to 5 (soon-to-be 4, then 3...) plus a HUGE drop in circulation.
