Can someone explain why some would read an interview with an actor they don't like.That makes no sense to me.
Because news is news, and in pop culture, info is info. I don't like that the World Trade Center got blown up - does that mean I'm not going to read about it? You are right if the reading is done with an open mind, a penchant for learning and wanting to understand. But in this instance, much of the reading is done to find anything to spin into hatefilled outbursts. CC has rattled some fans who think that any woman in a scene with Peter outside of KA deserves to be hated, despised and belittled. If the trashing stuck to the characters, it's one thing. But it's all about trashing the actress personally. It happened with every actress who played Billie. The actresses, not the characters, were called every derogatory term one can imagine.
Sad, really. Bo and Hope are fictitious. Billie and Carly are fictitious. But Crystal, Peter, Lisa, et al are real people. The pettiness directed toward them because they got a job is mind boggling when it is coming from adults. Sometimes it sounds like the banter of adolescent girls so angry that the "new girl" at school is getting attention.

Why can't she just leave Days? It's obvious she only cares about that crap called Venice and those rabid Otalia-fans.
Bo and Hope are being ruiend for this mediocre actress. Ridiculous.
I so totally agree with you on this one. Separating Bo and Hope for her return was not worth it. PR and KA are the best.

So its not petty that people have their "fingers and toes crossed" that Kristian's contract doesn't get picked up in a few months because they want Bo paired with Carly?
Kristian is a person too and I find it repulsive that anyone would want her unemployed just because they want the story to go a certain way. If THAT isn't petty, I don't know what is.

I for one who has watched DOOL from the beginning in 1965 will no longer watch DOOL if this sl continues and Bo is with Carly, nor will I watch if KA contract is not renewed. I will not watch BO with Carly. If the writers and producers want the long time DOOL to continue watching, they need to stop and think about what they are doing. I am and always will be a Bo and Hope Brady fan. NO CARLY!!! If KA contract is not renewed, I hope that CC can live with herself.

I don't understand why people are upset over Bope being split up, if any couple that is going to get back together that is Bope. I can enjoy Bo and Carly together for now because I know in the end it's going to Bo and Hope. They never keep them away from each other for too long anyways. Besides, people always wanted Bope to have a storyline, now that they have one,they are upset. IDK, I guess you better be careful what you wish for, sometimes the outcome isn't what you like.
Any and everybody knows if you want your couple to have a storyline, then half the time that means them spliting up for a bit.
This is one storyline that people can actually enjoy because you know in the end who the rooting couple is....jmo

Now that's just funny. I don't think even Ken Corday is that foolish. KA is DAYS.
But at the same time I don't think CC has much to do with it. She's just the latest actor to be brought in to stir things up. Savior of Days? -- not hardly. Goddess of Daytime? -- Spare me Branco. Over hyped too much? -- Definitely.

I'm disappointed in Carly- character and storyline. It bores me. I'm also disappointed that her presence makes it harder to follow discussion threads because they end up similar to EJ/Sami/Luis-related threads now.
Still- props to her. Interested to see how her internet soap fares.

I wasn't impressed with this statement either. And what's with the "neither Bo nor Carly are ready for a relationship" ?<br />Of course they are not. He's married to Hope! He loves Hope not Carly! There shouldn't be a relationship between Bo and Carly except friendship. I'm getting annoyed with her interviews. One minute she is saying Bo and Carly are just friends the next we hear Bo and Carly are going to be boinking each other! She really needs to watch what she says in interviews its starting to get confusing.<br /><br />
<br /><br />I for one am not impressed with CC interviews not no I believe much of what CC says in her interviews. She says one thing about her character Carly then Carly does the opposite.
So you think CC writes for Carly and makes decisions for her? You do understand actors have no power over their characters, don't you??? Of course she doesn't, but you'd think she'd know what her story is. So far everything she has said has happened the opposite of how she's told us, IMO. I don't care. I don't dislike her, and I don't dislike the character. She's not my favorite, but I'm not paying attention to anything she says about the storylines anymore, lol.

Thumbs up, Cassie! Not only that, but MAYBE we read those interviews to get insight into maybe why OTHERS like the actor? I read it to see what the hype was about and maybe to get to know the actress better. Dang, that comment reminds me of the posts on comment threads on CNN articles. "Why are you commenting if you don't like it"? I consider it a sign of intelligence to read opposing sides and read about things one might not like. It's called being well-rounded and informed. Do all comments have to be positive? One. Of. The. Best. Posts. Ever. :applause:

Oh yea, I remember when Dee told the fans about this great love scene that was going to happen with John and Marlena on the plane crash and lo and behold, it was pathetic. Was Dee lying? You would think she would know what was taped.
Do you seriously blame the actors for the writers decisions? Are you implying the actors purposely mislead their fans? Or only CC does that? I guess I am not getting your point.

I knew the backlash was going to happen at some point. It is not Crystal's problem that people want to interview her and that fans are interested in what she says. DAYS is extremely lucky to have three such popular actors as Peter, Crystal, and Kristian to be in a triangle.

I guess I am not getting your point. The writers write what they want to write, no matter who the actor is. I think we all know that the actors can't say too much about what is going to happen-- they may give hints, but that is it. Look how long JS has been telling his fanbase that ejami is inevitable. It's been a year and a half and it hasn't happened. I am not knocking JS or the ejamis at all-- please don't throw things!!! He says what his fans want to hear and what he knows he is permitted to tell just like anyother actor/actress. I don't think they purposely start out to mislead anyone. Besides, the writers often change things at the last minute. About Lucas having a big s/l-- I read that, too, but he did say they wouldn 't tell him anything about it. That should have been a big red flag for BD. I think the writers usually give the actors an idea of generally what they will be doing a couple of months ahead of time. The fact that they didn't tell BD should have told him his time was limited. His being rather nasty in his interview didn't help his cause any either.

I think this story has needed to happen for some time now!! It's great to have Peter and Kristian back on the front burner where they belong. I honestly don't know *that many* Bo and Hope fans who are not loving this story and excited about it.
What I don't enjoy is people making it personal.

Do all comments have to be positive?
No not all comments have to be positive, but it would special if they made some sense. I mean really:

If KA contract is not renewed, I hope that CC can live with herself.
In what universe is CC responsible for contracts? For hiring? For firing? She's an actress and that's it.
Yes, she cares about Venice - after all it is a very personal project for her. But every interview she does - she also talks about Days. Every accolade she received for the end of the year review stuff - mentioned Days. That's not a bad thing. Press, any press is good for the show.

She's just not an acting goddess.
Branco is for sure too much of a fan girl. But get thee to youtube and watch some of CC's work as Olivia. Particularly Olivia's confession of love to Natalia. CC is very very good. I'm not sure she's been given all that much to do yet on Days. But she will deliver when she is.

She says one thing about her character Carly then Carly does the opposite.
But she's stating that Bo and Carly are not ready for a relationship. She isn't saying that one isn't going to happen. That's her opinion as the actress playing Carly. That doesn't mean she has any say over the storyline!

Can someone explain why some would read an interview with an actor they don't like.That makes no sense to me.
Because news is news, and in pop culture, info is info. I don't like that the World Trade Center got blown up - does that mean I'm not going to read about it?
Thumbs up, Cassie! Not only that, but MAYBE we read those interviews to get insight into maybe why OTHERS like the actor? I read it to see what the hype was about and maybe to get to know the actress better. Dang, that comment reminds me of the posts on comment threads on CNN articles. "Why are you commenting if you don't like it"? I consider it a sign of intelligence to read opposing sides and read about things one might not like. It's called being well-rounded and informed. Do all comments have to be positive? It seems that way on soap forums, re: positive comments. It seems very, very odd to me. Forums like SoapCity for example, with their "no bashing"? What they consider bashing is what most would consider an honest opinion. Fans on that board are fooling themselves, and if I were DAYS, I wouldn't take anything on that board seriously. The segregation is embarrassing, where fans will like any scenes with their favorite character in them...even if they were bad.

You are right if the reading is done with an open mind, a penchant for learning and wanting to understand. But in this instance, much of the reading is done to find anything to spin into hatefilled outbursts. CC has rattled some fans who think that any woman in a scene with Peter outside of KA deserves to be hated, despised and belittled. If the trashing stuck to the characters, it's one thing. But it's all about trashing the actress personally. It happened with every actress who played Billie. The actresses, not the characters, were called every derogatory term one can imagine. Sad, really. Bo and Hope are fictitious. Billie and Carly are fictitious. But Crystal, Peter, Lisa, et al are real people. The pettiness directed toward them because they got a job is mind boggling when it is coming from adults. Sometimes it sounds like the banter of adolescent girls so angry that the "new girl" at school is getting attention.
So its not petty that people have their "fingers and toes crossed" that Kristian's contract doesn't get picked up in a few months because they want Bo paired with Carly? Kristian is a person too and I find it repulsive that anyone would want her unemployed just because they want the story to go a certain way. If THAT isn't petty, I don't know what is. This is a prime example of something else I don't understand about soap opera culture vs. the entertainment industry in general. So what if Kristian, Peter, and Crystal are real people? So are Britney Spears, Brad Pitt, and Jennifer Aniston - we can say that they're drug addicts, cheating whores, and forever-single...and that's OK? All six of these people put themselves out there for consumption by the general public. Yes, they may be on different levels, but that doesn't change the fact they are all "out there" as celebrities. This protective notion that soap fans have over the actors and their "jobs" is pathetic. We don't owe them anything, and if they're putting themselves on TV - yes, a choice they made - it's fair that the public can make whatever comments they want.
And it's not this "protective notion" that bothers me as much as the double standard. I remember some fans were profusely arguing how inappropriate it was to discuss rumours of a Deidre Hall and Drake Hogestyn hook up - but it's ok to discuss the fact that Brad Pitt left his wife for Angelina Jolie? What's the fucking difference? And whether or not either of these stories have truth to them is irrelevant...this is what drives celebrity culture, media and the entertainment industry today.
Soaps are backward in more ways than one.

Quoting limited to 4 levels deep

Soaps are backward in more ways than one. I doubt any soap actor makes the kind of money Brad, Angelina or Jennifer make. Perhaps if they had the same perks, they would deserve the same level of personal attack. LOL
No one is saying you cannot trash the actors at all. You just can't do it on privately owned bbs who have the right to stipulate their rules. I guarantee if you go chat with some KA fans on their private chat bbs, you would see personal trashing of other actors is allowed. But most actors, I would guess, don't like THEIR personal bbs, they are paying for, used to trash their colleagues. It makes them look petty.
But there are plenty of private UNofficial bbs for certain actors/fans where actor trashing, rumoring mongering is acceptable. Tabloids make money on nasty gossip and rumor mongering. So yea, lots of people like it. And there are places to go and to do it. Some people, however, look for bbs to discuss things in a different fashion and prefer not to be attacked about their views. Free speech ONLY applies to the government not stopping your right to gossip, etc. Privately owned entities like SC, or here, or other places get to set their own rules.
