I have a feeling she'd do this even on a professional page. She can do what she wants, but calling people names and then demanding respect, I can't even with that

Agreed. Especially over something like this.

thank's sinclair!! i was pretty sure about the HW just not on the producer. i guess thats what they mean by the producer always in the control booth lol but im pretty sure ron's not gonna let frank go by his lonesome!!

You're welcome, babes.

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.

Wow, just wow. She really knows how to lay on the charm

It depends on the head writer. Some shows did not have a head writer on set. Others had a member of the writing staff on set, but not the head writer. That writer would be able to help switch things up if needed.

It's been my (very uneducated) understanding that on site headwriters are rare. Irna Phillips of course NEVER was, bvut she'd call the studio daily, view all auditions, condescendingly only refer to actors by name, etc. Bill Bell did most of his HW from Chicago though I think at some point he moved to LA (maybe when B&B started?) but am not sure. Agnes Nixon did most of her writing in her home in... Pennsylvania? Somewhere not too far--but of course she wanted to stay home with her children (it's really pretty incredible what she did in the early 70s HW two soaps, producing both--though her husband handled the money--and raising children though she says that for 5 hours a day she was not to be disturbed by the kids and a nanny would come in). But she did make a point of coming to the shows--at least when she was most involved--at least weekly and I think has had that New York apartment of hers for ever.

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.

All I can think of is, besides the fact she appears to have one of those personalities that should NEVER have been aquanted with twitter, she also realizes that her "job" is increasingly in jeopardy. Not just from soap cancelations but also from the fact that all this rumour, as well as all this gossip, gets leaked out before she can say anything "official".

I could not help but laugh when I read that update. I think everyone know that unless some miracle happens, GH is probably toast one year from now. When you replace Frons with a reality chick the intentions are clear. I never understood the "block if you don't agree with me" stuff anyway..

No, that's the worst. If you're going to have a twitter account that's NOT a personal one just for your friends, but is to share soap news and gossip, then you have to be mature enough to even eat humble pie and plitely say "Well I disagree with you and think I will prove you wrong" or whatever BS, and then just leave it there. Instead we get "You're all big fat losers and I'm going to block you--take THAT!"

I have a feeling she'd do this even on a professional page. She can do what she wants, but calling people names and then demanding respect, I can't even with that

Right, that's where it gets me. I know it can be difficult for "public figures" (has she reached that status?) when they use FB as both a personal thing and a more fan/corporate thing, but she doesn't seem to be able to differentiate

I like her

I am not disagreeing with anything yall say, or defending her. Just.. i like her. I liked reading her columns, i often disagreed, but they were entertaining. Plus, shes always been really nice to me whenever I have seen her out and about, and by this point most of us know thats all i really care about, lol.

I think her columns are mostly fair--and honestly stand out because who else in soap publications anymore offers an opinion? But her online behaviour loses a lot of respect (as did her book which basically spouts out facts as if they were news--stuff anyone who has read Schemering's book, or any other decent soap book already knows, which is fine, but it's touted as a new view on soaps)

And I'm glad she's at least nice to the people who support her in person. I know from experience twitter and facebook can bring out the worst in a LOT of decent people--that's why I think she should just realize how it reflects on her. If you saw her in person and mentioned her facebook status would she own it, admit she shouldn't have done it, or stop talking?

I guess Brett Claywell and Scott Evans weren't nice enough to her in person...

I doubt she would be so nice, LOL.

She would likely react the same way she did online TBH

I wonder how they're doing. Wherever they are I'm sure they're grateful they can't be falsely blamed for killing OLTL.

Like I said, technically she's got the right to block anyone she wants to but if she wants to present her page as a place where people can talk about the soap business then she shouldn't have these tantrums when people actually talk about the soap business. There are very legitimate reasons to believe that GH is a dead show walking and her reaction is the equivalent of putting her fingers in her ears and yelling "La, la, la...."

IA. Even if she chooses to disagree with those who suspect GH's days are short, she can do so publicly without resorting to name-calling. It's one thing to encourage others' opinions while holding to one that might not be what the majority believes. It's altogether different, though, to label those who disagree with you as "losers." Frankly, I would encourage everyone, even those who generally enjoy conversing on her FB page, not to engage in discussion with her anymore. Her behavior should NOT be encouraged or condoned at all.

CH was on a blogtalk radio program promoting her book & giving false info about PP and the rights Of AMC & OLTL

She said PP owns them outright. BS. They have them lisenced for ONE YEAR

She wouldnt speak ill of previous GH regime but will talk trash about actors. Hypicrite
