GH In The News: The PC Press Club

[Oracle42]

OH NLG NO!

Is she drunk? Is she tippling from KeMo's Award event flask?

It's Nancy, so play the odds and spin the wheel!

[jsbt]

can't stop won't stop:

 

Viola Davis winning lead actress Emmy's historic. My upset is acting awards dont fix racial injustice. As an actor I see how irrelevant we r

[Oracle42]

GH is going to have to start instituting fines for dumbassery on social media. 

[ulkis]

Oy, Nancy. No one stopped you from leaving GH for the past 19 years and trying to get other roles.

That . . . might get her into actual trouble.

[Chairperson Meow]

Dude. Does she just watch reels of GH over and over? Or has she been brainwashed to forget what talent is? Viola Davis earned her spot. NLG needs to take several seats.

Shonda Rhimes like owns ABC. She's going to Patrick Dempsey her.

[jsbt]

Nancy's already in trouble. I think Black Twitter found her.

[Chairperson Meow]

Clearly this is going to be more entertaining than this week's shows.

Let's share popcorn.

[HeatLifer]

That's just one example of why I stopped following NLG on Twitter a loooong time ago.

[ulkis]

At first I thought she was doing this for attention, but then it quickly started freefalling down hill.

[jsbt]

OHHHH MY GOD

 

I do 2. I think she's the bees knees but she's elite of TV performers. Brilliant as she is. She has never been discriminated against

[WendyCR72]

I have always been a fan of NLG going back to her days as Julia Wainwright Capwell on the late, great Santa Barbara. Sadly, the more I read of her on Twitter, the less respect I have for her.

 

I continue to hope that her outspokenness on Twitter is just expressed not so well, but it is posts like these that make it very hard.

 

I think she'd do well to take a break from Twitter if not quit it entirely. In that vein, even as a (disillusioned) fan, I say, for the love of God, Nancy, STFU. You're really embarrassing yourself.

[jsbt]

No, Nancy's never just doing this for attention, IMO. She's an older lady who may like a libation in the evening and has very strident opinions on the Issues of the Day.

 

Nancy has, in the past, been one of my favorite soap actresses and I agree with a lot of her opinions politically. That doesn't mean she doesn't need to learn when to shut the fuck up.

The responses are freaking hilarious. Like.... where were these people when BC was going crazy on twitter?

My favorite was when one said something like "let's talk about GH and the lack of diversity in lead actresses." Burn.

[jsbt]

That wasn't Black Twitter. Only soap fans noticed Bryan's nonsense.

 

Nancy might have had a prayer of this going unnoticed outside soap circles but I think in her infinite wisdom, she actually hashtagged "Viola Davis" when she started.

Black twitter is the best.

[jsbt]

OH NOOOOOOO

[ulkis]

OHHHH MY GOD

The hole just gets like 10 feet deeper with each tweet.

[Oracle42]

OH NOOOOOOO

 

That's gonna leave a mark

[Chairperson Meow]

Damn. I think she might make buzzfeed or something. Crazy.

[jsbt]

Patricia Arquette just told her to be silent, so it's possible.

[katie9918]

Oh, for fuck's sake, Nancy, just shut up for a couple of days, yes?

[WendyCR72]

Oh, for fuck's sake, Nancy, just shut up for a couple of years, yes?

 

Fixed.

[jsbt]

@PattyArquette Thank you for your comments. As an advocate of women like you I'd appreciate ur support in the future.

 

Roughly translated: "Save me, Patricia Arquette"

[ulkis]

@NancyLeeGrahn Stop that right now. It is a venue for whatever the WINNER wants 2 say.It is her win. She is saying something that is proven

[katie9918]

Fixed.

And I'm one of those middle of the road leaning people who unfollowed Nancy a year ago because she annoys me. But this is not cool! I don't even know who Viola Davis is because I don't even watch network TV anymore and I realize this is important!

Just chill, Nancy!

[jsbt]

Apparently Nancy is now trending on Twitter.

[WendyCR72]

I wish NLG knew when enough is enough. There is being outspoken and then there is just looking like a fool.

[kristabell]

Damn, and we thought Ron and BC were bad

 

ETA: Almost my entire twitter timeline is people reading NGL, and I don't even follow soap people.

I wonder what BryDog is planning to snatch back that crown

It depends. Does Viola Davis eat dogs?

Do we ever see the actors on other soaps behaving like these fools?

[HeatLifer]

Don't click on that, Tony Geary.

[ulkis]

Yes.

[venusnv80]

I just sat here shaking my head as this unfolded. She's on General Hospital, a show that hasn't managed to keep a black actress employed in a major storyline since MAYBE the 90's? Or does she tell herself that they just didn't work out or weren't talented enough to have staying power.

I'm done with Nancy.

[OnceSane]

Wow. Put down the wine, back away from the keyboard, and STFU, Nancy.

[jsbt]

Schooled. As surrogate 2 last democratic presidents I thought I needed no lesson in equality. I was wrong. Please accept my apology.

 

What the fuck does this mean??!!

Can we embed tweets here? Because there are some great reactions.

I think you can but I'll be darned as to how.

As for what NLG's tweet means, it probably means "don't hate me" but damn woman. GH is dying. Start forming your plan b, not tweeting about upcoming Julexis sex scenes.

This. I saw and enjoyed some of her comments during the GOP debate the other night and enjoy having a soap actress who is outspoken for the Democrats, but this...needs to stop. Now.

Nancy, you in danger girl.

It depends. Does Viola Davis eat dogs?

http://www.buzzfeed.com/iramadison/who-is-nancy#.prZGzWjzE

Oof

 

Oh shit.

 

And the sad thing is, she IS just as good an actress as those actresses he mentioned, and she's been on the show long enough that many DO think of her as an important part of GH (and while one commenter was right about her tying with Debbi Morgan with her first Emmy, she won again in 2012--she just wasn't there to get it in person).

 

But of course, all of that is going to be lost because NLG couldn't keep her mouth shut long enough.

 

3am.Tried 2 respond 2 u with love as I should, Gotten mostly condescension & vitriol.Tomorrow, new day. Wont begin it with anything but love

 

 

We'll see how Black Twitter responds to that love, Nancy.

ITA, IMO, GH has always been the worst with diversity. POC don't have their on storylines or POV. There are no marriages (we had barely there Maya and Dodge but it wasn't love or a real relationship before that it's been since Tom Hardy and Simon). So Nancy can STFU. I'm glad she met black twitter and was dragged for the shit she was saying.

What an idiot. Viola is big part of ABC"s prime time line up and Shonda does have Powe with ABC. IIRC, GH shares a cafeteria with Grey's Anatomy. There won't be anything awkward about that/sarcasm.

She needs to send Viola Davis and Patricia A. flowers, along with apology notes.

There were Jason Q & Keesha and AJ & Keesha later on.

 

Although I'm curious: Did Keesha losing Jason once he became Jason Morgan to Robin result in any accusations of racism in how the show handled that? 

 

I wonder whether this story will hit the mainstream press today...

Yea, they dated however I'm thinking marriages, pregnacies, births, etc.

Angie was part of the fabric of GH, she went to school with Liza and Tad, she married Jesse, gave dated Cliff etc. Her children became a part of the fabric and so would her grandchildren.

GH simply brings on a new set of POC every decade.

I should add, I don't think they should have called her the c word.

[katie9918]

I agree. I understand the anger, but name-calling accomplishes nothing here.

What a mess.
