J and JJ I didn't watch the whole clip either just the first part and that is what I was oy'ing...that fan went to a lot of trouble to make her this scrapbook and she called it 'creepy'....it was kind of mean IMO not to mention the contrived tears over the break up of her 'toxic' relationship that ended what 2 years ago....smiley: laughlawd. I think I better not watch this show. I don't watch that kind of reality tv anyway and I am afraid it would make me dislike the soap stars involved if the whole show is in that vein.smiley: frown

Oh gosh. Why did I watch that? Damn curiosity. That was the most contrived OTT shit I've seen. smiley: laugh

And this is why I just am not a fan of her, she keeps giving me reasons why I don't. I try to give her the benefit of the doubt but..... no freaking tact whatsoever. A fan puts a scrapebook together for her, all the time and effort and she just blows if off as 'creepy'. Um...harsh much? Her reaction to even getting fan mail was just WTF. See this is why this show WILL NOT help the soap industry. It just makes the actors come off as self-centered narcissistic pretentious drama queens so really I don't get WTH Kelly Ripa and her hubby were thinking to sell this show as a way to garner more soap fans. It's doing the complete opposite. Do they not realize that??

Soap actors always have to fight to be taken seriously and this show will only further taint and ostracize them as a joke IMO. Yeah great going. RME.

Just watching that small clip left a bad taste in my mouth. Ugh. 
One of our posters did a recap of Sbu's event and he said something similar that he was not a fan of reality shows, but his concern was that soaps would not be shown in a good light or possibly made fun of or something to that affect......

I am sure they get stuff that is WTF in fan mail, but you know someone watches your character and takes the time to send you something you should not make fun of it on reality tv.  And the prisoner may be a DVR ratings viewer one day or have his own reality show, so don't make fun.
