They were pure starfúckers in those days, and clearly had a close relationship to the show and Ron at that point. They were the biggest voices pushing that OLTL was Ron and Frank and vice versa, and really disdained and ran down the PP shows preemptively because of that. (Prospect Park had many issues, but not giving Cartini sole creative ownership of OLTL was not among them) DC was very influential back then but it's a different world now, I haven't been there in many years and I don't know who still pays attn to them.
Of course those guys also thought FV and RC were inseparable forever and an immortal dream team, and I knew that wasn't true. It didn't surprise me when Frank cut Ron loose to keep his job. It wouldn't have surprised them, if any of them had actually paid attention to OLTL or his stewardship of it (which was reasonable enough but extremely pragmatic) before Ron became HW. Jamey among others openly admitted he'd barely watched the show lol.
