No, I wasn't saying it was your fault. I just said that's what happened. I was making them in posts of 3 years each, and they seemed to just keep being added to the same post. It wasn't my intention to keep them all in the same post. 

Oh, I see. You've uploaded so much data, it's a wonder you don't have bells & whistles going off signaling an attendant to come over & make a payout on a jackpot!!  🎆

Stephanie Sloane Exits Soap Opera Digest as VP, Editorial Director

Stephanie Sloane Exits Soap Opera Digest as VP, Editorial Director

Yeah, dammit, that is the other shoe in the air that I've been waiting to drop. Again with the end of an era, so many great fond memories. For the record people who say she's not a nice person, apparently wouldn't recognize a nice person if they met one! Or if they went to a Yankees game with her, or were at one of her birthday parties. Much less if they were present when she had baked cupcakes for the office, or even just gossiping soaps with her because like so many of us she loves soaps as much as ... the Yankees! 

I'm reminded of that epic Carolyn Hinsey is fired thread from Jossip many years ago. Plenty said about Stephanie Sloane. None of it positive.

Yes yes yes! Finally! Buh bye Stephanie. You will NOT be missed!!! Singing Ding dong the witch is, well you know the rest. Yay yay yay!!!!! Many happy people in soap land tonight!

The Jossip gossip column said tons negative about both Carolyn Hinsey & Lynn Leahey also if you recall!

Oh certainly. Hinsey, Leahey, and Sloane had apparently made a lot of enemies and once Hinsey was fired there were many clamouring for the ouster of the others.

It took a decade or two, but now it is done.

With GOOD reason!

My point is that as the next in line she would automatically get tarred with this one broad brush that the anonymous accusers were using. And I was in that office at least weekly for a number of years, those years .

Well, that is one way to look at it. Another is that she had a helluva long high ride, doing what she loved & now like so much in soaps, that is going by the wayside. I expect her to meet this with her cheery good-natured & optimistic perspective & bounce well. 

And, oh, yeah, just another Minority Rapport!

just had a thought

I think this is weird. On the Digest website:

Wed. No author page for Stephanie Sloane.

Thurs. Author page for Stephanie Sloane with new email address.

Fri. Stephanie Sloane is effectively fired by having her position done away with. 

Sat. Author page still up & still attached to new email address. I'm going to send an email to see if it bounces. 

Yep, bounced. Okay, enough playing with their website.

There apparently was some confusion about this. I've updated the article to correct that Stephanie has departed a360media altogether as VP, Editorial Director. The company has also opted to shutter the teen books she oversaw, including the print edition of J-14.

Stephanie left at the end of October when it was announced Digest as a print magazine would be discontinued. I've updated the article (as noted above) to make that blatantly clear.

Oh, I see. Well, it is even weirder then that they put up her author page with a new email address this past Thursday. I suppose it's a fairly confusing, chaotic place right now. 

The icing on the cake is that Stephanie's position was eliminated. She wasn't contributing. She was deemed useless. AT LAST! Long overdue!!! She drove SOD into the ground for years.

All I know is, according to that oldschool Jossip gossip, Tom Eplin gave her a life-long parting gift after their relationship ended...

And with that you know something about Tom Eplin that you didn't know before. 

BTW, I heard from Steph, just a msg, not a conversation but she was as positive sounding as I had hoped!
