SHOCKING BLIND ITEM EXPLOSION!
Several industry insiders have come forward to tell the truth and shame the devils who are killing this industry we all love. To protect the innocent and cause panic for the guilty I've decided to run these little tid bits as blind items. Just keep paying attention in the coming weeks and months and like my grandmother used to say, it will all come out in the wash!
*Fans of this soap won't have to worry about a certain villainous character monopolizing airtime like he or she did in the past. The character is only being brought back long enough to be killed off once and for all, however don't be surprised if part of this controversial character "lives on". Think: The Bold and the Beautiful's Storm Logan.
*We hear a particular soap vixen isn't happy that the popular pairing she's currently in is being scrapped so she can be paired again with a former leading man. The actress in question realizes she will get more airtime with her former lead, however she is enjoying working with her current onscreen beau. With at least three of the actors in this quadrangle unhappy, will the network rethink their strategy?
*The upcoming exit of a popular soap character and the actress who plays her could result in a.) the character's iconic former love returning to escort her off the canvas. b.) the character being presumed dead in a very deja vu manner or c.) the character being killed off for real.
*For the first time in over a decade that one actress has been on her soap, she is seriously considering leaving to pursue primetime and film, due to her frustration over her storyline. This trooper, who has rarely spoken out about a storyline, isn't the only one thinking of jetting. Her wildly popular leading man is also said to be thisclose to not re-upping once his contract his up. Many fear this could send the show, which has been largely written around the actor for years, into a ratings freefall.
"They wouldn't have to worry about things like this, if they still wrote soaps as ensemble pieces!" one insider gripes.
*An Emmy-winning actress is said to be screaming for a better storyline, however setsiders say the diva is her on worst enemy. Her obnoxious behavior and penchant for changing scripts is generally considered before her talent in terms of story distribution. It doesn't help that the cast can't stand her.
*Reports that have one West Coast heartthrob on his way out could be premature.
*Sources close to the brass at one soap are saying don't believe the ratings hype. The soap has two to three years on the air at best. Look for a small handfull of the show's big names characters and actors to be spun off to the remaining soaps if this happens.
*While one actress who was plucked from another soap is struggling to find her footing onscreen and off, another actress, brought on in a recurring role, is said to be impressing the brass so much she will be offered a contract any day.
*Several execs and writers are saying they're fed up with actors who have been allowed to let their backstage sexual antics dictate storylines over the years.
"This has always been a part of daytime, or all of television for that matter, but with the industry dying, people can't afford to keep breaking up couples who are working because the actors are no longer doing it!" says a source.
*Two high-profile writers at one struggling soap are said to be majorly frustrated over the fact that every storyline they pitch tends to be rejected by the network brass. Big name actors on the soap are said to be just as angry, which could lead to a mass exodus the soap might not be able to recover from.
*A head writer who achieved mad acclaim in recent years is said to be booted sooner rather than later. The Emmy-winning writer will be offered the chance to take a demotion to either script writer or a breakdown position. If he or she doesn't accept, they will simply be shown the door.
*Don't expect this soap opera to ever be a training ground for new talent again if the show's executive producer (Who has jumped from soap-to-soap-to-soap) has anything to say about it. The exec, known for recycling campy, over-the-top, 90's-era plots, is said to only be looking to bring on "names" in new roles. So much for a budget crunch.
*One soap actress, who received much love and airtime from a head writer who has since been tossed, is said to still be walking around on set like royalty. From what we hear this actress is the Queen of Denial if she thinks the new execs and writers helming the soap she's on are going to keep putting up with her over-the-top shenanigans.
*The two daytime sudsers arguably in the most trouble in terms of cancellation talks are said to be in a fight to the death to sign a wildly popular actress who has already worked for both of the networks that air the soaps.
*Insiders are speculating that it won't be long before executive-level bloodbaths currently sweeping through the rest of the entertainment industry has at least one daytime chief looking for a job.
"Hollywood is getting rid of a lot of the people who have screwed up the motion picture and primetime television industries," says a source. "It won't be long before they start looking at daytime. They have to in this climate."

Here's to hoping that the end of the Mob Era is near. If SB leaving is the only way to accomplish this, then so be it!

Now see, I've heard about a B&B's Storm-like story coming up...but I heard it's for AMC's Josh coming back, being killed and then his heart or whatever is going to be donated to Kendall. But that doesn't fit with the rest of the blind item. Hmm...
As far as SBu possibly leaving and what it would mean for the show - ITA with what the "insider" said:
AMEN TO THAT!!
Thanks for the gossip Jamey!

Well, the 2 soaps struggling who are trying to land a popular actress are obviously DOOL and GL.
The actress unhappy with being paired with a popular ex-love interest must be Kelly Monaco.
Could the head writer in danger of being demoted or shown the door be Guza? I hope so!
Could the soap exec who wants names only in time of budget crunches be Gary Tomlin at DOOL? They have been a training ground for far too long but having fired Drake and Deirdre is ironic to say the least.
I am trying to figure out the rest. Jamey, I know you must keep your sources and secrets but this is driving me insane! Keep it up though!

The actress who is frustrated over her s/l and her wildly popular leading man MUST be RH and SB.
As for your comment Season, if LuSam lives, then Jason would not have access to Sam. Therefore, LuSam's longevitiy would probably mean a Liason reuinion...or union in the first place. Everybody wins, really.

i having a strange feeling that (if this is true) the actress wanting 2 do primetime and complaining about her currrent story but she hasn't done much over the years and been on over a decede is alison sweeney. it matters sense 2 me but i don't watch other soaps so i wouldn't know anyone else who could fit. and her wildly popular leading men is most likely james scott. the last few years ever since he'z been on have been around him and there was talk about him not signing again. as 4 the things i don't have an idea. let's have some names now please.

The first one is Josh on AMC. He will return die and his heart will be given to kendall RIGHT! RIGHT!!! Am I right!!!
The second is SOOOO Kelly Monaco. She wants Lusam but the writers obviously want Jasam. Am i right again!
The one about the actress struggling to find her footing after being plucked is Taylor from amc.
The Emmy winning actress being a diva and no body likes is someone from OLTL?? Hope its not SH I love her and she seems to be loving her current storyline.
)An actresses upcoming exit could result in (a)her true love coming back to take her off, (b)her getting a similer "death" to the aformentioned true love, or (c)getting a non soap-death death. THIS IS GREENLEE!!!!!!! Or like I call her GreenME cause its all about her.

I'm so bad at figuring out Blind Items...
The two daytime sudsers arguably in the most trouble in terms of cancellation talks are said to be in a fight to the death to sign a wildly popular actress who has already worked for both of the networks that air the soaps. I suppose one of the soaps is GL?? So who's the actress? :?

Jamey, do you think that this will get tiic to notice that there needs to be some drastic changes to save the industry or it will doom if they don't do something soon. Thanks for the heads up and thanks for the people who are sick of the BS that is going on and saying something. It is about time. And we, the fans, have known what the heck is going on with behind-the-scenes on daytime.

These are hard to figure out...too bad we couldn't get a hint at least what network carries the show for each clue to narrow it down.
"Reports that have one West Coast heartthrob on his way out could be premature." I think this is Chris Engen (Adam) from Y&R.
"One soap actress, who received much love and airtime from a head writer who has since been tossed, is said to still be walking around on set like royalty. From what we hear this actress is the Queen of Denial if she thinks the new execs and writers helming the soap she's on are going to keep putting up with her over-the-top shenanigans." I think this might be either Judith Chapman (Gloria) or Michelle Stafford (Phyllis)from Y&R. LML loved these two characters and gave them both a lot of screen time during her reign.

Hmmmmm definitely sounds like RH and SB to me

This is screaming Kim Zimmer.

Beth Ehlers and Laura Koffman on AMC?

Hogan Sheffer, Ron Carlivati, or Kay Alden?
*The two daytime sudsers arguably in the most trouble in terms of cancellation talks are said to be in a fight to the death to sign a wildly popular actress who has already worked for both of the networks that air the soaps.
I'd guess that the two soaps in question are Days and Guiding Light, but I'm at a complete loss as to the identity of the actress.
*Insiders are speculating that it won't be long before executive-level bloodbaths currently sweeping through the rest of the entertainment industry has at least one daytime chief looking for a job.
Barbara Bloom at CBS?

I only watch the ABC soaps --- so in reading some of these clues- many made me think of AMC, GH, or OLTL. Here is my take on some of the posts:
The character being brought back only to be killed off -- is JOSH from AMC. The only part that is throwing me on this one is the part that reads no worries about this "villainous character monopolizing airtime like he/she did in the past" I wouldnt consider Josh a villian & I never remember him monoloplizing the screen time.
Soap vixen being unhappy about being paired up with her former leading man-- has to be Kelly M as Sam on GH
The exit of a popular actress who plays her exit could result in the characters former iconic former love returning is Rebecca B as Greenlee
An emmy winning- actress screaming for a better storyline--- makes me think of Robin S - Dorian on OLTL or Kim Z on GL. I could see Robin complaining about her lack of Storyline-- but I think she is liked by her castmates. But then again-- I'm not on the set and they are actors--- so they could all put on a good show in public!!
The soap who despite the ratings hype may only have 3 to 4 years left on air--- I am sorry to say I think it may be OLTL-- although I hope its not
The one actress who was plucked from another soap who is struggling to find her footing onscreen and off has to be BETH EHLERS as Taylor on AMC -- and the actress brought on as a recurring role who the brass are impressed with-- has to be the actress who plays Annie's doctor or the actress who plays CARMEN.
A head writer who achieved mad acclaim in recent years is said to be booted sooner then later----- GOD I HOPE ITS NOT RON C of OLTL. Granted he had a terrible summer -- but he is back on the ball!
Two daytime sudsers arguably in the most trouble fighting to sign a widly popular actress who has worked on both shows.... GL & DOOL?? But which actress??????????????????????????
One daytime chief looking for a new job---- God let it be Brian Frons!!! I think if he was gone the show line up would do sooo much better!

I praying it is Frons, too. He is ruining ABC daytime for me. GH is a joke and he and Guza needs to lose their jobs for the destruction of GH and its characters.

Come on, these are great, but multiple blind items! I'm
terrible at these things, BTW but here goes:
*The upcoming exit of a popular soap character and the actress who plays her......HOPEFULLY, IT IS Tammin Sursok's Colleen.
******************************************************
*Don't expect this soap opera to ever be a training ground for new talent again if the show's executive producer (Who has jumped from soap-to-soap-to-soap) has anything to say about it......Y&R's PR?

*Reports that have one West Coast heartthrob on his way out could be premature.....Y&R's CE?
