the will and sonny show

Apr 12, 2012 03:19

TPTB at DOOL are making me nervous. More writers were fired, specifically the same ones who've been writing Will's coming out. And co-exec producer Greg Meng said about women/romance in relation to the Will/Sonny storyline: "I think it's a beautiful story and we are committed to it. But probably it's not the story that most women are going to tune ( Read more... )

virtual gifts are like a hit of ganja, youtube, picspam: days, will/sonny, thank you and you and you, tv: days of our lives, teevee

Dude, they are making me nervous. But... I'll just, you know, be happy there's coming out and tingly feelings and this post was perfection!

Aw, thanks, bb! :D

SO NERVOUS. They were doing so wonderfully with Will and Sonny and I was all :D :D :D about the way things were going. And now it's like bad deja vu and they better not fuck with things. >:| (Though the other storylines -- what little I've seen as I fast forward to get to the W/S -- really do look ridiculous and character-killing, but that's just the nature of soaps, so I didn't think anything of it, until, y'know, there were firings, wtf.)

Right? I know. I don't know how the best decision was to hire the same people you fired in the first place. Wtf, how is that going to help?

SRSLY. I loved how in-yo-face the interviewer was about that lol:

TV Guide Magazine: Why couldn't that be done with Darrell and Marlene? It's not like they were stinking up the joint. They seem to be a very promising team and their very best work - Will's coming-out story - is better than anything anyone in soaps has written in years. Surely there was something there worth retaining.

Meng: Marlene and Darrell brought such a fresh energy to Days and really honored the tradition and values of the show. They had an impossible job turning everything around on a dime. And they left us in a very good place.
THEN WHY DID YOU FIRE THEM.

TV Guide Magazine: After the firing, Marlene tweeted that NBC "never let us tell our stories. They kept stopping us and changing our direction." You got a comment?

Meng: I can't really address where she's coming from. She and Darrell loved the show so much and it became a part of their lives. We definitely want to retain a relationship with them.
His whole attitude there made me wanna punch him in the throat

Right? Such a diplomatic answer. That's so BORING. I totally had those "punch you in the throat" feelings. I think the best part of everything that's been said is that straight women want romance and they don't want to see a gay romance. What... the fuck. Because you know it's really those men that drive the gay male storylines -- oh, wait, IT'S NOT. Oh my god. That comment. So out of touch with the real world.

That women/romance quote really was a world of WTF. *shakes head*

PS. HI BB I HAVE MISSED RANTING WITH YOU. THIS WAS AWESOME. :D

amelialourdes April 12 2012, 20:19:22 UTC

Me too, bb!! *squishes*

I actually have one all ready to go. Just finishing something up and then I'm going to do a nice numbered update list complete with rant.

Oh oh oh, I can't wait!
