It's really hard for me to say because the article is poorly worded.   Without seeing the actual interview they are taking from it's difficult to find the nuance of what ELR is trying to say. 

This is the Eva LaRue article on soaphub
https://soaphub.com/general-hospital/news-gh/eva-larue-says-her-gh-character-natalia-is-not-homophobic

Soaphub is quoting from this ABC Channel 7 Chicago
interview here; which hopefully everyone can see at this youtube link unless it's geo-blocked:

I didn't write this Donna.  It appears someone is trolling you, but on another board and not the @Vee here.  No one trolls me.  You all are more important lol.

I'm sorry for any confusion. I think that it is this other person who is supposed to be ignoring me by order of Toups that I am calling a troll. And, it is me who is the object of their trolling. Although if I am right & they are impersonating Vee & Liberty City, then they too are victims of this ... person. I would love to be unimportant to them!!! I'm sure you can imagine.

It has to do with story talked about today

Which is why you can cite it in the Classic thread as being about that. 5-8 videos posted per page like today and the other day slows everything down. Unless you think a poster won't know how to find these clips in another thread. Is that something you're concerned about, John?

Have a good day Vee. Movin On

doesn't seem possible that the writers made a "Natalia" with a staunch "Roman Catholic" background could be a coincidence. Feels like an homage. This is the first couple to be worthy of the legacy of GL's Otalia which also had a Natalia with a problem with her Catholicism & being gay. I really think this must have been tweaked. 

I doubt that's why they chose her character name as "Natalia", although it's possible.

It's far more likely that they chose it because Natalia was the name of Eva LaRue's character on "CSI: Miami".
Eva mentioned this in one of her recent interviews that she noticed that they used her CSI name.  She said that outside of the USA, she's known/recognized for CSI, and not as much for AMC.

(I suppose it *could* be a secondary homage to Otalia)
 

My personal speculation (without actually knowing anything) is that this is something Valentini might have chosen to do with people from other soaps..

Michael E. Knight on AMC as Tad Martin.
Michael E. Knight on GH as *Martin* Gray.

Eva LaRue on CSI: Miami as Natalia Boa Vista.
Eva LaRue on GH as Natalia Rogers-Ramirez.

Out of curiosity, what did they say today about Stone/Jagger?

I did notice that and thought the same. Besides, Natalia on GL was such a drip.

Sonny said Jagger abandoned Stone when he had AIDS

It was a vile thing to do, but I believe he also told Dante he only did it to get Wagger to take a swing at him and get him in trouble.

So..it's not exactly untrue.  Jagger did visit Stone, but he wasn't there when he passed (even though everyone knew it was a matter of weeks) and didn't attend his funeral.  I know it was about actor availability, but I clearly remember Sonny saying where is Stone's family right now? before he died.  So Sonny has felt that way for a long time.

Yeah, I just looked myself (and if someone - not you - wanted to have a discussion about it, they should've posted the actual 'article').

I did in fact post the link to the article. Several of us tried to find the video of the WLS-Chicago original interview, without success, although I also emailed the station so they may have put it up after interest was shown. And, again I would reiterate that Errol does this all the time, quoting things that were said in other interviews. And, no, SoapHub is not some inferior click-bait site, not at all. Michael Maloney, Janet Di Lauro, Alina Sivorinsky Wickham, etc. are top-notch. Maloney was who Lee Bell chose to write a 2012 book about Bill Bell with. (Excellent book.) Alina has numerous soap books to her name. Di Lauro was previously on the Weekly team.

Well in the vids i posted. Jagger & Karen Offered to take Stone to Chicago, Stone Declined

They then offered to  stay in PC but Stone didnt want them to put their lives on hold to watch him die. 

They didnt just learn he had AIDS and say Bye. Stone's Sister Gina did that however

Is Sonny off his meds????

Not only was she apparently attempting to quote me, but I was referring to ranger1g's commentary criticizing Eva LaRue... based on a screencap of Donna on a comments section of another website, on a clickbait article that no one actually posted here.

If you guys need me I'll be nursing a Japanese beer; it's gotta be 5 o'clock somewhere.

I did not attempt to quote you, I actually did quote you & I knew that you were referring to ranger's post. And, again first & foremost I had already posted the link to the article. Your saying here that no one posted it is in fact ignorant of what was posted. And,, also your saying that no one posted it when in fact I did is frightfully silly.

And here is the link that supposedly was not posted.
