shadowkat1. Entertaining myself with Twitter...
Poster: I am so glad everyone hates this storyline. It's the great unifier.
Me: Well, not everyone, there appears to be at least 30 people (if I'm being generous) who like it. Granted it's 30 out of over 10,000 but whatever.
Soap fandoms are fun.
Fan: I'm a longtime fan of this show and you've finally lost me with this story-line. I'm gone, I tell you. I really tried to hang on but I just can't take it any longer.
The actor who is in the storyline tweets in response: A puppy with hangdog expression - "I'm Sorry".
And I burst out laughing. Yes, it's a horribly written storyline but it is also a daytime soap opera - I mean kind of par for the course. I'm fast-forwarding through it.
And.."I don't think fans realize what a feat WR accomplished. No one knew if he was evil or good, it remained a mystery. And that's hard for an actor to pull off..."
Me: Eh, I'm guessing you aren't watching the show you are on? Because I could tell the character was pure evil. It was kind of obvious.
The problem with actors on soaps and long-running serials, is they want people they love working with to remain, and those they don't to leave. But
from an audience's perspective? We only care about what is on screen. The actor could be the nicest person on the planet - but if their character isn't working - it's not working. I'm not sure actors get this. It's not up to them - it's up to the audience and the writers. You may be a nice guy in reality, but if you aren't written and directed that way...
2. Neil Gaiman is really pulling out all the stops to sell NETFLIX's Sandman franchise.
Behind the Scenes with Neil on Sandman
Netflix grabbed Sandman when it lost its Marvel properties. Smart move. Sandman has a huge fandom. Also, it fits with the rest of Netflix's edgy, subversive, diverse content.
And Netflix already has the Lucifer series. Although I think I'll like Sandman better - Lucifer has gotten really silly.

I will never forgive us for letting parent groups force the cancellation of The Muppets (2015) because it wasn't cute enough to meet their preconceptions of the Muppets. It was more accurate to Henson than anything since his death!
Sigh, why anyone would let parent groups dictate anything is beyond me.
