Gary Tomlin never should have been rehired to begin with. As for SC/MR, so far, I haven't seen anything in the way of a campaign to get them canned, just frustrations vented. And as for GT, there is nothing wrong with letting TPTB how we feel about the direction of their product.

Bring back Jack!

And there are no petitions either..just tweets to the show to let them know of our disappointment. "Threatening" someone's livelihood or wanting someone fired is not a crime.

Except we have yet to see the stories that Tomlin & team are doing. He was EP before & it was his term at EP that Got Days renewed.

Renews? Yes, but his product was crap. And even back in the 80s, he pushed newbies. His history speaks for itself. Hiring back Tomlin should have never been an option after the way they dumped on him during the reboot press.

Plus, if someone isn't producing a good product, SHOULDN'T they be released? Or does that not matter anymore? I'm sure, though, the comments on this board aren't going to be the be-all and end all of getting him released. I don't think chastising people is going to make them feel guilty and retract what they said.

Fans reacting negatively to characters and wanting those characters off the show is not criminal. Wanting a bad writer fired is not criminal. The audience is going to have opinions about who should and shouldn't be with the show. That is not unique to this show or this situation.

I do think Tomlin is likely responsible for MA being fired. I don't think it's wrong for me to think Tomlin sucks over that, as well the rest of his awful track record: EJaylor, Dannifer & Rafe 2, for example.

Also, those involved in the #RehireMatt campaign were not looking to get anyone else fired. If some crazy tweeter got ahold of the handle and gave you that message, that wasn't the goal of the campaign.

Is it going to be illegal to say an author sucks in a review on Goodreads too? Seriously, guy.

Tomlin didn't write it, but he was in charge, and I think it reflected what he wanted.

I would bet cold hard cash that it was Tomlin who demanded it.

All Im gonna say is all the times that MA was fired who was the common dominatior, Ken Corday. So I think his firing is all KC.

I dont mind being not liking characters or calling writers/prod out in a poroductive way but telling actors like MA and SC & GT to F Off like ive seen in the tweet thread, is not cool. That crosses a line to me

If you feel someone or something is crossing the line then use the Report button. Attacking other DR members and calling them names is against our rules here and that is why some posts have been removed from this thread.

I might be wrong but I don't think campaigning to get actors fired is even allowed in this thread. People can express that they want them off the show though. If you disagree you can always just say that, that way your feedback is voiced as well as the other person's.

Re. Corday and MA, I am pretty sure that the majority of the time he was fired it was demanded by the writer. JER didn't want to write for him, and in both JER reigns Matt was fired. Tomlin's much of the same. Corday doesn't stand up for MA but they remain on relatively good terms. I doubt MA would even pretend that for this long if it was Corday and not someone twisting Corday's arm.

While Corday is an idiot when it comes to running this show and is certainly a common denominator, there has to be a reason behind actors always remaining in good standing with him. He's not that good of a con man. I think he's a doormat for whoever else is in charge. When it was Al Rabin, good decisions were made. Since Wyman took over as co-EP, it has gone downhill. Decision Tomlin made as Co-EP should not be discounted as concerns for him now that he has headwriting. If it is true that NBC pushed him back onto Corday (not unlike they did with Reilly), they may force him back into the co-EP position. Whatever supposed good he did for the show as co-EP to make it survive has also served to completely dismantle the show creatively. In a position of power, Tomlin has been shown to be destructive to the show's creative quality as a product. If that is not grounds for fans to be angry, upset, and confused, then we will have to agree to disagree.

I'm not sure where to post this but this thread seemed fitting I think.
I was contributing to (and even entertained by) the 'interesting twitter posts thread' for most of the day...until it seemed to take a quick decline and almost take on a bully-mentality feel to it, IMO. I have been all for the twitterbombing and love that it got attention and let the actors know of our support but reading about the barrage if tweets MR is getting now (apparently) for the sole purpose of getting under her skin (or so it seems) doesn't feel right to me. It's one thing to diss people and speculate-no holds barred on a messageboard but to then take that frustration to twitter, directly to an actor, seems out of bounds. I really hope MA gets his job back (that's a given) but that's all I really care about. The whole Danifer thing sucks(of course!) but outside of the context of this messageboard I really don't care if they put them back together or not. I've gone 20 -30 years not trying to make tptb know what I think of their decisions why start now?-I tell myself... Anywho...I don't wanna be the turd in the punch bowl but... I dunno.. I just can not support twitterbombs based on storylines or actors opinions/tweets. That is all.

None of that has anything to do with campaigning. M
