Badsamaritan July 18, 2016 Share July 18, 2016 I retweeted McDaniel's tweet about 'get ready to make good on that promise' to ABC and said 'see what happens when the network actually pays attention to their daytime soap, they stay winning' or something like that, and McDaniel liked my tweet. She also tweeted me back that she liked my Prince avatar and that she was a big fan too. I never cared for JT on GH (overrated average actor for me) and he's even worse here. I think JFP's first mistake was recasting Phyllis too young. MS was no great shakes but at least she looked more age appropriate for Jack. Hey, maybe Mal will put a stop to all this old men/women young enough to be their daughters crap (I'm looking at you, Victurd and Neil) and get the age groups aligned better. Daytime is still mostly watched by women so who wants to see EB's liver spotted, old gnarly mitts all over somebody? Damn sure not me. Man, I miss the likes of Bill Bell and Doug Marland. They knew when and how to move generations into the next phase of story. I truly doubt EB would be the one running around 'saving' everyone. 6 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/3761-reel-to-real-backstage-twitter-all-media-dram-ugh/page/47/#findComment-2412994

He wasn't thrown to the crazies. He was handed questions on a piece of paper by some invisible person who was pulling them from FB (and so the questions were controlled). Normally they have the actor responding to the questions right in the comments on FB and so they would see them all. This was different; it was a "live feed" of him talking to the camera. And in fairness to the people making the comments, they weren't blurring distinctions. They just told him they think Philly sucks as a storyline and he's miscast. There was the odd "you suck" but really not all that many. He's a big boy getting the big bucks, so that didn't seem too bad to me. I'm not a fan of actors being ambushed for storyline (and he wasn't). And frankly this fawning gushing "you are so HOT" style of "soap press" is at least as offensive (to me). It lets show live in some fantasy bubble instead of actually having a critical response. If JT "chose" to look at FB directly he would see the comments -- and based on his sheepishness and him admitting people aren't loving the story he did have a look. Or was somehow made aware. 7 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/3761-reel-to-real-backstage-twitter-all-media-dram-ugh/page/47/#findComment-2413924

Yeah, gotcha. I don't think an actor should have to defend storyline EVER. It's not their fault. And much as I dislike JT even I felt badly for him (based on his body language in that chat). It's got me thinking though. If you make a movie or do a prime time show you get reviews from a fairly broad based viewership -- mainstream media, lots of online-based media and message boards/twitter. You don't get to hide in a bubble (unless your ratings are through the roof and everyone gets a pass then). Soaps no longer have intelligent journalistic criticism. It's just fangirls who started blogs (DC and Michael Fairman etc.) And then you get shippers and angry viewers on social media. It's yet another reason why this genre is dying. 6 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/3761-reel-to-real-backstage-twitter-all-media-dram-ugh/page/47/#findComment-2414163

Kinda disproves her being so difficult to work with if she keeps getting opportunities from various networks. Also excited that Michael Grazaidei is back! It'll never happen, but I wish they'd use him for a Kevin coming out story.
