A petition to fire JFP!


Recommended Posts

I didn't say it was just the petition. Her fans did a lot to get her hired back. A petition was just one of those options they took to get that goal accomplished. No one, who is serious does just a petition. Its usually one of many things. I bet the people who started this one are also writing letters and trying to get their voice out there

Be careful what you wish for. I remember when quite a few people were calling for Megan McTavish's ouster at AMC, and look where that got us. Sure you can lobby for JFP to be fired, but that doesn't guarantee you'll get anyone remotely better. Hell, you could end up with someone far worse.

If Katherine's passing isn't handled properly meaning giving fans a balance between "grieving" for a beloved character and setting up major (engrossing) stories that should last for months, it could cause them to rethink. However, Sony does not like to make abrupt changes at Y&R. The audience is very loyal and the ratings are up from last year. The only time in recent memory where Y&R suffer a catastrophic decline was the period after Malcolm, Ryan and Mac (recast) all happened + Neil's alcoholism. It was a bad time for the show.

The petition/fans didn't get her job back because there was not enough turn around time for that to happen. Her re-hiring wasn't too long after getting fired, so it was so much more than a petition. GH will go on long after any one character (not that the show has much time left).

Don't think myself and other Y&R fans will be happy until Bill Bell people are back in charge and running the show Ed Scott,Kay Alden, Jack Smith among others everyone else is an outsider and their work will never be accepted. JFP can go back to crappy ABC

    • I got the impression Andre was opening up to Dani about his feelings, that's why I thought he was about to admit he was in love with her. Dani has no idea that what's good for her is right in front of her face. Tomorrow we might get a love scene set to an R&B slow jam.
    • No, he was pining for that walking sleeping pill Ashley, and then later texted Dani for a hookup when he felt lonely. He and Dani got into it a bit as she’s not ready to be seen openly with him still, and they both realized they were hung up on other people - Andre on Ashley (thought he never said her name) and especially Dani on Bill.  Of course neither learnt anything and then proceeded to have sex again.   
    • I'm glad there's a pool set if only for the eye candy. I do think they need to be careful when filming. Today, the direction was off with Kai in the pool -- it looked like he was sitting in a wading pool, and it was clear there was no depth to the water. Also, as I mentioned before, the view from those large windows looks fake as hell.
    • From my notes: San Cristobal with an “a” is from ANOTHER WORLD. Mac, Carl, their fathers, Ian Rains & his father, and Paulina had history on that equatorial island. Paulina was visiting there researching her past & fell for both Ian & Jake McKinnon! San Cristobel with an “e” is from GUIDING LIGHT and is the island kingdom where Prince Richard & Prince Edmund were from. Others with history there were Reva when she was Princess Katherine, Jonathan, Olivia, etc.
    • Schenkel was indeed a disaster.     During 1985, the following characters exited the show: Brian Bancroft, Sandy Cory, Blaine Ewing Cory, Jamie Frame, the first Peter Love, Alice Matthews Frame, Ben McKinnon, Vince McKinnon, Mark Singleton, Perry Hutchins, Grant Todd, and Tony the Tuna.   The following characters were introduced and quickly disappeared Chris Chapin, Neal Cory, Dee Evans, Daniel Gabriel, Michaud Christophe, Edward Gerard, Daphne Grimaldi, Zane Lindquist, and Brittany Peterson.   The only successful characters Schenkel introduced were Bridget Connell, Vicky Hudson, and Jake McKinnon.   Schenkel recasted the popular Sally Frame with Taylor Miller when Mary Page Keller left AW.  Also, he recasted Peter Love twice in 1985 with Christopher Holder and Marcus Smythe.   Schenkel brought back Carl Hutchins for the Egyptian/Arizona treasure story with the poisonous dust.
    • Was Andre about to use the L word with Dani? 
    • Honestly, she should have went splat on the bottom since it looks only 4 feet or less.  I stopped watching by that time, but since they were in L.A. I could believe it. 
    • My mistake. San Cristobal. I've seen it as Alamainia, Alamainland, and my personal favorite, Ubilam ("Malibu" spelled backwards). I was sticking to non-U.S. locations, but I suppose Aremid could have been Canadian. Ah, yes. Haiti?
    • You're very, very welcome! Nice seeing things appreciated.
    • No, not just you. And I think I remember that set; honestly, a lot of the L.A. sets stand out more in my head, and their stellar outdoor scenes.
