Members VirginiaHamilton Posted January 10, 2013 Author Members Share Posted January 10, 2013 Yes, really - at least, per my experience on message boards. While I've gone back and forth to argue the fine points of S&B with an equally-passionate J&Ber (complete with the Jax is second-string vs. Sonny is a greasy thug debates), never once did the conversation ever disintegrate to a point where folks were sending voodoo dolls to Maurice Benard (well, at least, not because of any J&B love) or making friends with the writers in order to get them to skew a story in S&B's favor and fire Ingo Rademacher (sp?). I guess I've been lucky enough to not have come across the message boards that took it to the level that the stans of this century have. What can I say - we S&Bers/J&Bers are a sophisticated bunch of stans... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ajsp35801 Posted January 10, 2013 Members Share Posted January 10, 2013 Stan tells KKL that HT fans say nasty stuff about her and HT doesn't try to stop it. KKL asks HT why doesn't she talk to her...HT tells her not to get caught up in the hype...LOL. Go to this DC post below to see the tweets. http://daytimeconfidential.zap2it.com/2012/08/12/brooke-vs-taylor-the-real-life-edition-fan-sparks-twitter-drama-between-bold-and-beautifu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted January 10, 2013 Members Share Posted January 10, 2013 Perhaps. Keep in mind, though, GUIDING LIGHT, along with the other P&G soaps, tended to stay above the fray, so to speak, whenever it came to love triangles and fan wars. I mean, I'm sure both PnB and Bujack had their defenders. However, in the end, I feel as if most were civilized enough not to believe one pairing was "better" than the other, and that the show, as it was back then, would have satisfied them regardless of the outcome. Of course, all that changed with the advent of Matt and Vanessa. Seemingly overnight, they, and their fans, turned a show what had never been a "couples-driven" show into one; and once GL openly catered toward them, it was a slippery slope downward (to Manny, to Jeva, to Rassie, and eventually, to Jammy and GusH).

Members MissLlanviewPA Posted January 10, 2013 Members Share Posted January 10, 2013 Speaking of which, there should probably be a thread dedicated to soap couple nicknames. GL had SO many. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted January 10, 2013 Members Share Posted January 10, 2013 Doubtful. When Wayne Northrop returned in '91, DAYS went to such lengths to make "RealRoman" so unappealing and boring, even fans who had 'shipped Roman & Marlena BITD preferred her with John.

Members MissLlanviewPA Posted January 10, 2013 Members Share Posted January 10, 2013 What about Bo/Hope fans vs. Bo/Carly fans vs. Bo/Billie fans? Of course, I guess RKK's Bo and the different Billies have to be factored in here, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted January 10, 2013 Members Share Posted January 10, 2013 Max and Maggie were...fine. But a lot of antipathy toward them stemmed from the fact that Maggie was so hung up on starting a clown school, of all things. Not Claire Labine's finest hour. I've the feeling, though, it would have been less a fan war, and more a fan campaign to have Bob killed off, or at least neutered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MoTheGreat Posted January 10, 2013 Members Share Posted January 10, 2013 I forgot about the Stan wars on PSSNS Charity & Miguel vs Kay & Miguel Gwen & Ethan vs Theresa and Ethan Whitney & Fox vs Theresa and Fox Lindsay ( Theresa)fans are the most hateful people. They was saying racial things about Brooke Kerr. Calling her hair nappy & some other hateful things. & they always got something nasty to say about Liza Huber looks. & Lindsay herself is just average in looks & below average in acting.

Members MissLlanviewPA Posted January 10, 2013 Members Share Posted January 10, 2013 Oh please, you KNOW it's F&F vs. Felicia and Luke! (Fluke) The ones over Scott would have been interesting BITD: Laura vs. Lucy vs. Dom vs. Eve. Hell, throw Heather or Tracy in there, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members juppiter Posted January 10, 2013 Members Share Posted January 10, 2013 To me it was Broe/Phoe for DAYS. The soap press loved it and rabid fans ate it up, meanwhile there were many fans who were like wtf go away Ghoul Girl. I eventually came to appreciate (but not like) Nadia Brojlin/Chloe but at that point why were people flipping out when both were dreadfully bad ugh.
