In Soap Opera Weekly, Carolyn Hinsey speaks to a couple of anonymous actors with distinct views regarding the current state of GL. Only in the P&G world are actors reportedly punished for being honest and having a point of view! When I called up one of GL’s actors to find out if they were one of the two people who spoke with Weekly, one of my pals would only say, “It’s no secret that Ellen [Wheeler, executive producer] is a Mormon, and even though she likes to preach, ‘love will save the world,’ there’s really no love here. Actors are talking off the record and anonymously because if you’re honest, you’re killed off!” Yikes.

Here’s an excerpt from the fascinating interview in Carolyn’s Corner:
“The people at ATWT are the only other people that understand how the people at GL feel: demoralized. You’re treated with no respect. Getting changed in the backseat of a car without the windows tinted on a busy street while trying to run lines with the actor in the car with you because you don’t have any other time to rehearse. Holding your own lights. And they want a good product from this? That’s how they keep people in line — they instill fear.”

Makes you wonder if the P&G publicity department is paid a commission each time ATWT and GL receive bad press, huh?

Noooo! Is Tom Pelphrey making another mini-GL return? Say it ain’t so, Soap Opera Digest! The magazine hints GL may be courting the Emmy winner. Me? I want him on Y&R, like yesterday. Hey, Tom: it’s time to make some real cash!
