No. My point is that if you're going to put yourself out there like she has, then you have to suck it up and accept that not everyone is going to agree with you. I work in public relations. I'm more than used to getting push back from the public and from members of the media. No one is forcing Cady to tweet. She chooses to do it, and if you choose to do it, then you have to develop a thick skin and ditch the attitude. Cady is acting like people are unjustified in doubting her, but given how ABC jerked the actors around back in 2011, fans in 2013 have every reason to question why this is happening and to wonder if the actors really do know what's going on. ABC sent Susan Lucci out to the press to insist that AMC was not being canceled only to cancel it a month later. Fans remember that.

As for me, that I'm posting on a soap board is a clear indication that I don't just watch, that I'm more involved and emotionally invested in this program than just a fair-weather viewer. No, I'm not ON the show or part of the crew, but according to you that means I don't have a right to an opinion? Please. I'm just as entitled to an opinion as you are, and I think Cady's response was over-dramatic and entitled. Frankly, plenty of people working behind the scenes have put in far more hours than Cady has, but I don't see them acting like a Drama Queen. You go have a seat.

Cady just needs to back up and take a breather. She's letting people make her angry and it's causing her to respond too quickly. I know she takes her role as a PP ambassador seriously but this is one time she would do well to step back and let their people take the heat.

This is the time to step back and say, "I'm just the waitress. You need to talk to the chef."

She's not saying she's done more for it than Lucci. That doesn't mean she has to be cussed out or insulted by psycho fans with an entitlement complex. Unless of course you think people should just talk [!@#$%^&*] as she ensures them the show is going on.

I can understand fans venting and being upset up to a point but when people turn personally insulting and abusive and start spouting off about it being a whole big conspiracy to kill the shows by "Frons" or whatever, and ranting and raving on Facebook like fuckin' idiots and turning on the actors, then it's time to shut that crap down.

You must be new here. Fans have been harassing actors since long before the internet. Yes, it's wrong but it's not unexpected. If actors are going to engage with fans they need to be very clear about what they are willing to accept and how they will react. Know your limits and enforce your boundaries. For example, Cady just made it clear that she will delete negative remarks and if you want to bitch, go somewhere else. That's a boundary and a perfectly reasonable one.

What is true is that she shouldn't try to actively engage those psychos. Most of those types don't want to do anything other than grandstand and hear themselves rant. Nothing good can come of it.

Agreed no one should be harassing Cady for any reason but soap fans are not the sanest so it was probably in her best interest not to tweet like 47 times yesterday. I actually thought her first few tweets were comforting and it was good to know the actors were still believing in PP's commitment. Then, as she just kept going on and on, I was like okay she's just as scared as the fans that this is really bad. Then to get offended and go all "after all I have done for you" to fans really just doesn't make her look great (particularly if you don't even like Dixie) & really riles up the crazies. But emotions were running high for fans and actors yesterday (I'm sure especially the vets who have been jerked around for years). I appreciate how positive and excited Cady has been promoting the hell out of the show on FB & Twitter for the past few weeks. Hopefully everything will calm down now that everyone's had a day to recover from yesterday's sucker punch.

      Thanks!  I compiled the list and posted it for the 59th anniversary in November, but just made the updates now for the couple of new cast members we've had since then! Didn't realize until I did the update that Peyton is the first-ever contract actor born in Nevada, so that's another state off the 0 list!

      GH: May 2025 Discussion Thread

      What I love about this story is that I can empathize with both Lulu's point of view AND Lois's point of view. I can understand why Lulu thinks it's important for the truth to come out and why she feels a moral obligation to let Dante know he has a son. But these good intentions have gotten all mixed up with her hatred for BLQ, and so she's going about it like a self-righteous bully who hasn't thought through all the consequences of this reveal. And I can understand Lois's thought process keeping this secret. She couldn't bear to give her grandson away to strangers, and so she arranged an adoption that kept him in the family. From her perspective, it's worked out beautifully because as Gio grew up as a "Palmieri cousin", he got to know his father Dante, his mother Brook Lynn, and his grandfather Sonny. She just had the hubris to believe that she could play God and keep the secret forever.  Maybe it's just getting to see Cynthia Watros and Laura Wright in full-on catfight mode a few days ago, but the show is starting to remind me of Guiding Light in its heyday, where most of the drama comes from the interactions of long-running characters who are likeable in some ways but have enough fatal flaws that they create their own problems. That's a sharp contrast for the way GH has generally been written since the JFP era, where most of the drama comes from external threats: supervillians, Sweeps month disasters, the mob shootout of the week.

      Wow, @JAS0N47, that list of states was impressive! And I never knew that James Read hailed from near me! (I was born and raised in a nearby city, about 15 minutes away!) (Liked him since he played Murphy Michaels on Remington Steele when I was a kid. As an older kid, I also loved him on North and South!)

      Oh, I remember this vividly! So trippy to see Mike Brady as a devil-worshiping judge. LOL! (With the mustache and curly hair in some pics, Reed seemed to have a surface resemblance to early-Jeopardy Alex Trebek!)

      Tracy is going to be excited but only if she is no longer under arrest. Where is Marty when he is needed?! But, in case he is truly out of pocket, then where the dickens is Scott Baldwin? Scotty, Tracy needs you. And you know how she is.

      I’m so excited to see Tracy’s reaction when she finds out Gio is the great grandson she was wanting Jason to find.

      I think Lulu has had a point. Gio is Rocco's half-brother. Rocco is Lulu's son. And, she is still in love with Dante. She tried to get Brook Lynn to be forthcoming. Then she gave Lois the same chance. It was an accident that the two women were screaming at each other enough so that Gio heard every single stinking word they said.
