ROTFLMAO: Entertainment Weekly Quotes Hollywood Height's Showrunner "Jill Foster Abbott"!!!!!

I know magazines are having to cut their copy editing staffs left and right these days, but this is ridiculous! An item in this week's Entertainment Weekly discussing James Franco's upcoming arc on Nick-at-Nite's promising new soap Hollywood Heights quotes the serial's executive producer, Jill Foster Abbott. Say what? Say huh?

"I think he really enjoys how fast we go," says executive producer Jill Foster Abbott, referring to the genre's speedy production schedule. "He filmed 65 pages of material in the first day that he was here. That's crazy."

So that's where Jill Abbott (Jess Walton) has been since she left Genoa City on The Young and the Restless?! Someone might wanna tell the reporter Hollywood Heights is produced by Jill Farren Phelps and that Jill Foster Abbott is just for pretend...I needed this laugh!

Wonder if Franco will tank that show's ratings just like he did to General Hospital's ratings?

I have to laugh! Big smile If you think about it Jess Walton has been around long enough that she probably could be a showrunner and use her alter ego's name. Then if something goes wrong or the show tanks, she won't have to take any blame. She'll blame it on "Jill Foster Abbott"... Innocent

I really hope this was "accidentally on purpose," written by someone who dislikes JFP as much as many of us do. I had an aunt who used to purposely call people by the wrong name as a way of letting them know she thought so little of them that she wouldn't even remember their name.

OMG, I read that article and I didn't even notice that gaffe! Great cover story, though, on the "new" coming out!

I read that last night in the article and had to laugh... And then look up who was the show runner.

You have to love the editors at that magazine writing an article and attributing it to a fictional character!!

How cosmically appropriate!

I hope they keep referring to her as Jill Foster Abbott, so she can be haunted by Jill Foster Abbott and the ghost of soaps past and present will haunt her in every endeavor from now on.

Now what soap name can we invent for Brian Frons and Chris Goutman?
