It's been an unbelievable week. A week ago, The Diva dropped the Thaao being fired bomb. The Douchebag is still not over it. This is what he wrote today:
| Days of our Lives, Global/NBC — DAYS of our Firings • Big whoop: Mary Beth Evans (Kayla) and Stephen Nichols (Steven) have been fired. Who knew they were still on the show? Sorry, you’re not going to get a Christian Bale breakdown here. The Suds Report heard about the possibility this past weekend. What did I do? I went to the cottage. I just don’t care anymore about this show, or think it’s worth cracking a sweat, trying to dig for confirmations on a show destined for hell. After Deidre Hall (Marlena) and Drake Hogestyn’s (John) firings, not even Dena Higley’s dismissal could elicit a response from me. This show is deader than Boy George’s sex life. Rumour has it that Patch and Kayla will be written out into the background. For once, I agree with Dena. The less writing we all have to deal with, the better! The good news is that ABC chief Brian Frons doesn’t have to buy DAYS now — he can just employ the soaps’ big four super-couples on his own shows! Smart move, Ken! Now, your show is worth absolutely nothing. |
Nichols would be perfect as an old sailor buddy of Nick’s. He could fall in love with Felicia. Or Nichols could be Harry Jackson’s (played last by the promising Ben Hogestyn) presumed-dead father. While we’re at it, why not bring back Hogestyn in the role, too, because someone in that household should be making money. We also need all the non-Forrester men we can get in L.A.
• Now that the worst secret in daytime has been revealed, Thaao Penghlis (Tony) is said to be in pretty good spirits regarding his firing. “I’m in good company,” he joked on a website recently. When The Suds Report spoke with the Daytime Emmy-nominated actor recently, he said he was happy with his latest comeback, regardless of the outcome. “It’s been a good year because my story has been much more realistic. Plus, working with the lovely Leann Hunley as Anna hasn’t hurt. In fact, it’s been a dream. What more could you ask for? Other than winning the Emmy, of course!” You’ll be missed, Thaao. Ciao.
He went to a cottage last weekend? Well it must have had internet service since he was lurking at Daytime Royalty all weekend. Does anyone really buy that bullshit that he's not doing his job because he doesn't care about DOOL anymore? Oh please. He doesn't watch DOOL and never did. The Diva outscooped him on Thaao's firing. SOD outscooped him on Stephen and Mary Beth's firings. He's just trying to cover his ass. The Diva did not post a rumor about Thaao's firing, it was a fact by a reputable source, not a lucky guess. If I had known about SN's and MBE's firings, The Diva would have posted about it. The fans have a right to know. The Diva will never run away to a cottage when there's work to do.
You know, if Nelson spent his time actually working instead of discussing his gayness in every article, he might actually break some news occasionally. The Diva cannot think of any real journalist who declares their sexuality several times in every article. The Diva does not give a shit if he's gay. Who the fuck cares? I could have blogged this week that I wanted to rub message oil on Thaao Penghlis, but instead I blogged about the history of Tony DiMera. The Diva could have blogged that she wouldn't mind if Stephen Nichols left the patch on during sex. But instead I chose to blog about how S&K have been wasted since their return.
The bottom line is really that The Douchebag should try to work on his credibility instead of spending his time lusting after actors. Nelson needs to get over the fact that he's really low on the totem pole as far as soap journalists are concerned. That's why he's not breaking any news. No one thinks he's important enought to leak to. You missed the last 5 firings buddy, get over it!
credibility and Nelson in the same sentence made me spew beer all over my keyboard.
ReplyDeletePoor Nelson, can't write a simile or metaphor that doesn't include sexual overtones. The guy sounds insecure
and how sweet, J/M was a real loss in Nelson's book but everyone else fired isn't going to be noticed by him...someone who is being paid to notice what happens on all the soaps. Course, that doesn't get him attention, so he gets off on preaching to the rest of us how we shouldn't bother anymore to care. Fuck you too Nelson.
You're right Diva he is a douchebag!!! He wants to desrespect Stephen and Mary Beth like that then I have no time for his ass! I won't miss reading his article and I hope you're reading this too Nelson you worthless piece of crap!
ReplyDeleteI wonder if Nelson's boss agrees that he can ignore Days now, simply because the show sucks and he's no longer interested? That's a really convenient excuse for dropping the ball on scoops, too. Hmmmmm . . .
ReplyDeleteKeep it coming Diva! My favorite of "The Douchebag" series so far!
Waaaaah. I don't wanna watch and do my job cause I wasn't number one. Waaahhh.
ReplyDeleteKeep it in your pants, Nelco.
Diva you are right, he is a douchbag! Screw you Nelson! He wouldn't know a good actor if he/she jumped up and bitchslapped him. He doesn't care about this show? Then why the hell is he writing about it. He needs to go back and write for Out and get the hell away from the soaps.
ReplyDeleteSeriously, how old is this guy?
ReplyDeleteI was right with you, Diva, until you mentioned the massage oil on Thaao. Then my brain kind of short circuited.
ReplyDeletelmao, the message oil put a naughty picture in my head too.
ReplyDeleteSeriously, if Nelson is done with DOOL, then he should be fired.
Nelson is merely an insecure peon who has not the guts or balls to take on the fans that are the ones who really keep this show on the air!. Does he really think that he can hide from the fan bases out there.
ReplyDeleteShould he like to get into a battle of words or wits, I would gladly take him on any day. Though he would poorly armed and I would feel unfair battling wits with a man who already proves himself to be a half-wit.
Hi Diva,
ReplyDeleteI must say I concur with your assessment of LaBranco 100%. As for his "sources", I would venture to guess that any insider info about DOOL dried up after his fiasco this summer which resulted in the sacrifice of Ed Scott.
Douchebag is a kinder description than I would ascribe to the "Diva Reporter of Canada".
IA, I believe The Douchebag is on TIIC's shit list for getting Ed Scott fired. From what The Diva heard, Ed Scott did not do anything different than any other producer has done. If we had him back instead of Tomlin, I bet we wouldn't have lost almost all of our vets. Scott worked on a very vet-friendly show Y&R. He knows you cannot succeed with a bunch of 20-something newbies with no fanbase.
ReplyDeleteOMG, Diva, I love you. You are awesome.
ReplyDeleteListen, I'm a big 'mo myself and making cute comments every once in a while would be funny.
Nelnel just goes over the top, every time. He doesn't know when to stop. And he doesn't realize we want to hear about soaps, not Days of Nelson's Libido.
He's pissing off many people and that list gets longer every day. Barbara Bloom at CBS gave him the slapdown and now every fucking week, he shits all over ATWT and Guiding Light. I'm sure he'll start doing the same to Days.
He needs to adjust his manic/schizo meds or eventually he will burn every bridge he has and be out of a JOB.
