Members Vee Posted January 9, 2013 Members Share Posted January 9, 2013 I was long over Jolie even at that point - since early 2004, really - but it wasn't just Jolies those folks were calling racist. Any critique of Evangeline's character and how you found the story unbelievably boring, or how the show made the sun shine out of her ass was racist. It was obviously the best love story ever told, she was obviously a three-dimensional character and Michael Easton was obviously jizzing his pants in their love scenes, which they could clearly document Zapruder-style with grainy video evidence if you let them. And any calls for how you'd rather see, say, the Gannons instead were just silly because everyone knew the Gannons were boring and worthless vs. Evangeline. There were definitely some equally ignorant Jolie fans and still are - they got especially insufferable when Jared came around - but I don't remember quite the same rash of self-righteous people trying to invade TWOP and call us all bigots for not liking Van. There was practically a revolving door at one point as each one got banned or ragequit from that forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members VirginiaHamilton Posted January 9, 2013 Author Members Share Posted January 9, 2013 And here I thought it was just MB acting like a petulant King Dick on set that eventually motivated her to leave the show...SMDH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Vee Posted January 9, 2013 Members Share Posted January 9, 2013 Oh, I hated Richard Winslow and Bradley Cole's fans. Those people were nuts on a whole different level. I remember the Stefan/Katherine freaks. Now that's old school. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members VirginiaHamilton Posted January 9, 2013 Author Members Share Posted January 9, 2013 I think that had to do with the fact that: 1. the triangle was the last great and balanced one that GH ever had 2. no matter which man one thought was the best for Brenda, there's always been a level of respect for the other - a rarity these days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DeeeDee Posted January 9, 2013 Members Share Posted January 9, 2013 Most are Lane fans now. Wonder why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted January 9, 2013 Members Share Posted January 9, 2013 I think there was a white tree (Stefan/Katherine fan signal), or something, I don't know. It's a good thing this is just limited to daytime, as fans of sci-fi/horror/etc. have done things like call up people who run conventions and try to convince them not to ask certain actors to appear.

Members Vee Posted January 9, 2013 Members Share Posted January 9, 2013 With Stefan and Katherine it was "the crystal tree," IIRC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MoTheGreat Posted January 9, 2013 Members Share Posted January 9, 2013 What about what they said when REG had a miscarriage, they said some nasty things about that too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dragonflies Posted January 9, 2013 Members Share Posted January 9, 2013 WHat about Sonny & Brenda fans vs. Brenda & Jax fans Also CarSon fans vs. SnB'rs I know those got vicious I don't know if this counts as a fan war but I do remember that Sarah Brown got death threats from CarJackers when she was on ATWT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ajsp35801 Posted January 9, 2013 Members Share Posted January 9, 2013 This is so true. Neither Jax nor Sonny got the bus wheels to ensure a clear cut victory (by writing design) for the other. Writers have post the art of fair story telling. Now they must tell us all who to root for with the writing. Oddly. this has the opposite effect that intentioned...usually end up with many unhappy fans. Yes I remember they were nasty about it but I don't remember exactly what they said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ann_SS Posted January 9, 2013 Members Share Posted January 9, 2013 Sonny/Brenda vs. Jax/Brenda. At one point some Sonny fans were referring to Jax as a Nazi symbol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ann_SS Posted January 9, 2013 Members Share Posted January 9, 2013 The best work that Laura Wright ever did was David Andrew McDonald. He was a very talented actor, best she ever worked with, and he pushed her to raise her game. Bradley Cole was pathetic, but he apparently had this intense fanbase of women who pushed from him to get back on GL and ran around attending his concerts and swooning over. RME. They succeeded in getting him rehired and DAM the far more talented actor fired. That is the soaps for ya. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members marceline Posted January 9, 2013 Members Share Posted January 9, 2013 I have to throw the TSJ/RH/Real Todd/Fake Todd battles onto this list. In some ways that was/is worse than a couple war. Be grateful. I wish I could forget some of the things I read. I've never seen people celebrate a miscarriage before but I guess that's a side effect of so many plot point pregnancies on soaps. Some people lose track of what's real vs. fake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
