January 10, 201313 yr Member Throw in a latina girl just acting as a friend to one of them in that mix [...] and some boards would crash from from the craziness. Crash? Hell, Soap Opera Network (for one) would make like the former Baltimore Colts and disappear in the middle of the night. Edited January 10, 201313 yr by Khan
January 10, 201313 yr Member I recall seeing an article that said that actress Sarah Brown had received hate mail from fans that didn't like her character paired being paired with their favorite on As The World Turns. Soapcentral really is an insane board, I used to read it, but stopped awhile ago. There would be pages and pages of arguing at times about couples or individual characters.

January 10, 201313 yr Member You know what would be good? Take a Caucasian male and put him in a triangle with an African-American girl and another Caucasian male -- except, the first male is torn between the AA girl and the other dude. Then, stand back and watch as certain fans' heads explode over how to respond to THAT triangle. I think they would like that, at least he won't get with the black female. that whole thing with Layla & the gay dude. It didn't effect me because I always thought Layla & Cris made a good couple.

The only soapboard I've visited worse then Soapcentral is the ABC boards. The ABC board is a scary, mod free place. I could even handle daytime dish at times despite the nasty Jizam wars but the ABC board were just so much worse. Bitches on that board would be stalking people and have little pieces of info memorized about them from other boards. The banshees that hung out their were fake and vile.
January 10, 201313 yr Member Passions Therox vs. Therethan Therethan vs. Gwethan But i will admit ish got fun when SOD used to do those chats and reveals news/spoilers and I made the moderator laugh a lot when someone thought they got a dig in at me as a Therox fan.
January 10, 201313 yr Member I think they would like that, at least he won't get with the black female. Except for those who are okay with the White guy being with the Black girl. Or, as the ones on the other side would call them, the homophobes. Gwethan Isn't that the one who fought the Green Knight? Bitches on that board would be stalking people and have little pieces of info memorized about them from other boards. The banshees that hung out their were fake and vile. Sounds like some GusHers (GUIDING LIGHT) I know.

I like interracial couples, that Layla & gay dude didn't effect me. I know some people was upset that he start to come clean after he hooks up with Layla. They probably would have kept him straight if Layla wasn't his love interest.

January 10, 201313 yr Member I was more pissed that Christian and Layla were backburned for the pairing between those two blocks of wood. I am still mad we never got a Brody and Layla pairing. He had to be shipped off to be Messica's man/caretaker.
January 10, 201313 yr Member Last time I was on there was last summer very briefly. I was just kind of lurking the GH board and I saw all these posts saying Lindsey Morgan was too dark skinned to play Kristina(even though she an MB are around the same skintone) and she looked too Mexican, and looked almost black. And I told the mods they need to delete crap like that since they delete everything else on that board and they left the posts up. But let me not get into a rant about themany things wrong with SOC because ignorance runs rampant over there. Well i am not going to lie. As an infrequent viewer of GH, I just happened to be watching on Kristina's first day and did think that she was black ( she is several shades darker than MB..different undertones too which makes her look darker probably). My cousin, 67 years old, had to tell me who she was and i was like...eh...oookkkaay. She also wondered if the actress was bi-racial with black being one of the races. She could have easily played the role of a Ward...I don't see much difference between her and CK, I thinks she is darker than CK actually. Don't shoot me. But I didn't mind the casting at all...in the genre that recasted KDP as Blair..who cares. LM is a beauty and does well in the part.

Yes..that always gets me when a posters tells another that they know how vile and nasty they are from another board...tell them all they do is go from board to board causing problems....or a poster telling another one that they said so and so last week and going through the threads and finding it to post the quote. LOL. Who has that kind of time. I typically don't know one poster from the next on large boards. I seldom read the names. I don't know who says what. I use to post alot on soapnet boards...they were pretty tame until Shick versus Phick..then all hell broke loose.

I actually would like the to see which one prevails.

She's not darker than MB at least not on my TV and definitely not by several shades.But anyone it wasn't like one person said it and was corrected or like it was her first day and some were in shock. It was quite a few weeks after her debut and I was reading all these she's too dark, she's too hispanic, she's Mexican comments.

Hispanic is not a race...someone needs to tell these fools that. She does look like a black hispanic to me. Maybe we do have different setting on out TVs. She doesn't look the genetic product of NLG and MB anymore than CK looks like the product of SM and VR...but this TV so we suspend belief.
