“It was not handled with class. I really believe that after the sixth death, it’s a hostile act. I don’t understand why this character has always got to be killed.” “[On my final] day, my executive producer, Gary Tomlin, wasn’t there.”
—Thaao Penghlis (ex-Tony, DAYS) to Soap Opera Digest on his umpteenth firing
Translation: Kill me off a handful of times, shame on you. Kill me off a sixth time, shame on me.
That's from the Douchebag's Suds Report on Friday. The Douchebag really needs to get over his obsession with Thaao. He never interviewed Thaao. He needs to stop cherrypicking Thaao's quotes from LEGITIMATE sources and bashing him.
First off, the sixth death is a bit of an exaggeration on Thaao's part. Thaao's played a character that has died that lead to his firing 3 times, not 6. Andre 1995, Andre 2004, and "Tony" 2009. Thaao counts the times that JER had Andre get fatally injured yet survived; the castle pit "death" and being stabbed in the neck by John on the island. The Diva is missing a death! lol That's 5. Anyone know the sixth death?
Anyway, two of Thaao's firings can be blamed squarely on JER. This last firing seems to be Gary Tomlin, JER protege's, fault. Still, the Douchebag blaming Thaao for being killed off is ridiculous. Considering that the Douchebag is a failed, wannabe soap actor, he should have more respect for a 3 soap vet that's been acting on soaps for almost thirty years. The Diva doesn't think it's right to bash an actor for returning to a soap they have been fired from. The actors needs to make a living. With soaps constantly hiring and firing writers and producers, why not come back if the douchebags that fired you are gone? With all that being said, Corday's a moron. He never should have fired the vets to begin with.
Things will be hopping on the blog shortly. We have the Ben episode on Lost tonight. woohoo! The Diva cannot wait to discuss with you faithful followers the Mary Beth and Stephen interview in this week's SOD. Also we will be discussing the pathetic death of Tony DiMera, and Leann's token last episode.
Congrats to the Douchebag for winning the Diva poll. Kenny gave him a helluva fight. Maybe if Kenny fights with and bans more posters at Douchebag Royalty he'll win next time.
Diva I think there were only five, three of them him leaving in a casket. Maybe the sixth he is thinking about could be when they captured Andre and he was in jail and gone for 18 months. Not a death, but off screen none the less.
ReplyDeleteThe Douchebag must really want Thaao bad. I'm guessing that this is his way of dealing with his frustrations, knowing he doesn't have a chance in hell of that ever happening LOL.
Can't wait to see what SN and MBE have to say. I hope they rip TIIC a new one, and if so I am waiting to see what those hypocrites at DR have to say about their *whining* and *bitterness*. Don't even get me started if the *professional one* writes that tell all book I have been hearing about.
I hope SN and MBE let it all out of the bag. I doubt the show will bring them back as recurring. They said the same thing about Thaao in 2005. He was off screen for about 18 months.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure DR will attack them. No news there. The mods aren't into S&K just like they aren't into Tony and Anna. I totally understand why the Skorks don't post there.
The Douchebag spread the rumor about Dee writing a book. So take that with a grain of salt.
They won't be brought back as recurring, they said the same lies about Matt Ashford. He returned that one time, and Jack was in NYC with the fauxAbigail. And it was all about her rather being with the loser Max than her dad she had not seen for months. Jack had barely any scenes. Why was Jack segregated and used as a prop for Max and Chelsea, instead of in Salem with his brother and sister. After that Matt was never brought back, despite him wanting to, and publicly saying so. And back then there was no Dena or JER II Tomlin.
ReplyDeleteDiva, I was wondering if you watch HOUSE, and if so what is your take on the out-of-the-blue suicide of Kutner?
Oh, that's right. I forgot about Matt.
ReplyDeleteNo, I don't watch House. But I have heard nothing but good things about that show.
I doubt SN and MBE will say anything juicy since SOD and the soap press doesn't have the balls to ask hardball questions to soap actors; the press is too busy with talking to actors about the "fantasy world" of their soap characters.
ReplyDeleteThis is why I hate soap mags and online interviews with current soap stars that are on their soap because they don't say s^%t.
It's sad that people are loving DAYS these days.
