Oracle42 March 28, 2019 Share March 28, 2019 They should have used her, there was always potential there - but I can't imagine they're going to do better with a recast. The wiring for recast!Jordan is actually worse 2 Link to comment
UYI March 28, 2019 Share March 28, 2019 2 hours ago, Hater said: I believe NLG said some tasteless comments awhile back and went to diversity training on her own (FV didn't step in there either). NLG made an ill-advised a comment about Viola Davis when she won the Lead Actress Emmy in 2015 for How to Get Away with Murder on Twitter, and it gained traction because Black Twitter had her for breakfast, lunch and dinner. And because it involved a Shonda Rhimes show, that only made things worse, especially since she's arguably the most powerful woman in television, and her shows are all on ABC, and GH was struggling even then. It all blew over, but not before NLG spent all night on Twitter digging herself into a bigger hole. I don't remember anything about her going through diversity training, though, I just remember being AMAZED she survived it, because this is the one time running her mouth on Twitter actually resulted in (very bad) mainstream press for GH. 8 Link to comment

HeatLifer March 29, 2019 Share March 29, 2019 SBu and Bradford know what they’re doing. Bradford is DM’ing people. Both are not acknowledging anything publicly because they don’t want to call attention to it. Then, because it’s low-rated GH and someone with a whole lot of followers hasn’t gotten wind of it, no one can cause much of a ruckus. It’s shameful. With NLG’s situation, she just kept on tweeting and tweeting down into a larger hole and, at the same time, was insulting a prominent female actress. 2 Link to comment

DMs are what got Varni in trouble with BHs last contract renewal. And the Killys are on a mission ..... I don’t think he will, no. There’s a reason both of them haven’t tweeted in two days. Waiting for all this to die down. I don’t know if the DM is legit because I came across a screenshot someone posted, but it basically had Bradford claiming that Steve was referring to the clanking of glasses and that they were actually serving chicken and watermelon. Of course none of that explains the usage of “ghetto.” And on top of that, Bradford apparently edited out all this from the podcast. Edited March 29, 2019 by HeatLifer 1 Link to comment
ciarra March 29, 2019 Share March 29, 2019 NLG never got fired after her Viola Davis tweets. She apologized, sort of, blaming the wine she had been drinking. And her level of power at GH is nowhere near Burton's. Link to comment
Hater March 29, 2019 Share March 29, 2019 He won’t get fired and this won’t affect his role on the show. When Kelly and Billy acted unprofessional their stories were trashed and they were removed from scenes with each other. Double standards are rampant on set. See Laura and her boyfriend as well. 5 Link to comment
CeChase March 30, 2019 Share March 30, 2019 (edited) I feel like NLGs comments, (and I saw them live and told her to sign off and go to sleep), were typical clueless, white woman feminism. That is to say, not good, and really ignorant, but chicken, watermelon, and ghetto? Man, that's next level. I think it is true that Burton isn't getting the same slamming because no one with a large twitter following knows or cares who he is. Once NLG said that nonsense about such a high profile actress, it was curtains. That's why she was trending. Not because anyone knows or cares who she is either. Outside of daytime of course.

One of the things she started digging in on was how "privileged" an upbringing Viola Davis probably had. In fact, VD's background is horrifying. It was a real lesson in what NOT to do if you find yourself making a minor faux pas and get called on it. I can't believe this Steve Burton stuff. I didn't even know that aspect of him -- just the juice stuff. 2 Link to comment
YaddaYadda March 30, 2019 Share March 30, 2019 Steve Burton is a pathetic excuse for a human being. And if Bradford Anderson chose to hitch his wagon to that, then joke's on him. After the sexist remarks, the rumors of sexual harassment of the girl who played Georgie and other crappy bts behavior, racist comments are not shocking. Anyone who expects better from him should know better. His ass couldn't even cut it on another soap. 12 Link to comment
Hater March 30, 2019 Share March 30, 2019 Burton is trash. The man is completely unlikeable on and off screen. I find him to be sexiest and uneducated and just tasteless. Can’t carry on an intelligent conversation. His podcast is a frat boy’s wet dream. 5 Link to comment

Kelly was asked on Facebook live if she was excited to with with him again she said “I’m excited to work with the whole cast.” Then said I love working with you in reference to Billy. Then they really pushed on social media to stay paired. Another incident at their event with Billy touching Kelly’s boobs. Right after their event, drew and Sam were broken up and have shared maybe 15 scenes since last March. They were pulled for Burton and jasam. I think a lot of that is due to their behavior. Also a lot of burton crying to the powers that be. But only they get in trouble for this type of stuff. Burton can say racist things and be rewarded. Edited March 30, 2019 by Hater 2 Link to comment
