Thank you Nelson. I now feel more vindicated for not watching GL anymore. It is the biggest pile of poop on air now. I hope Kim Zimmer is the next one to leave. She doesn't deserve the crap she's had for the last 5 years.

Why are you surprised that CBS execs Elise Bromberg and Barbara Bloom act this way? They're famous for being nasty and petty divas who treat the media like dogs. Elise Bromberg is hated by journalists for good reason. The fact that she's in "PR" is a joke. Keep speaking up, Nelson!

If you should happen to run into this gals at an industry gig, please do us all a favor and throw some water on them. Or drop a house on 'em.

Great show boys! Love that Nelson he just did not hold anything back and shouldn't! Bring it all to light Nelson, BRING IT ALL OUT IN THE OPEN!
Nelson did you find out if Victoria's been offered to come back to Y&R?

Nelson need to tone it down a bit because he's losing credibility in his rantings and pointless points. I find the podcast coverage tolerable since the host did a good job in maintaining somewhat an entertaining bit. But slamming GL endlessly, the actors, and people who are involved with the show was uncalled for and unprofessional especially if he's considered as a soap journalist. He's defintely burned his bridge to CBS.

He didn't slam the actors at GL at all. If anything, he pointed out that he feels bad for them for being trapped in such a horrible situation and because of their contracts, being unable to leave.
He slammed those who are in a position to make GL good and have not only failed in doing so, but have driven it so deeply into the ground that no one might be able to revive it.

I glad that someone is taking P&G and CBS for there horrible choices in management and direction where soaps all concern because the industry as a whole is losing viewers.

Nelson Branco is the new Victoria Rowell — and guess who's behind her not coming back? I probably don't have to spell it out.
As for my ranting, I might as well — CBS and P&G blacklisted me long ago without my knowledge when I was acting professional, so my new tactic is speaking their language, the only one they understand. That's how they communicate... ask Rowell, and anyone at P&G. They got an intern to call Ehlers and demaded she move out of her dressing room after she announced she quit. That's how these people work, folks.
This also has to do with me demanding LML's firing, Bloom's pal, and my interviews with Rowell, who Bloom and LML forced out. Nuke is really small potatoes in this whole thing, but I mentioned it because that's why P&G is keeping me away from their talent.

Keep doing your thing, Nelson. Someone does have to speak out, and keep us soap fans in the know about whats going on behind the scenes, which sadly, is usually MORE interesting than whats ON the screen. GL, the soap I grew up on, it is some altogether different creature now, and I am GLAD you speak your mind about how it is these days. I know you aren't bashing the actors on there, but the show itself is not so good, and the day Wheeler and Kreizman are gone, I would do a happy dance.

Fantastic interview!!!!! Thank you Nelson for your insight. I guess as a 30 year ABC viewer , I should back off of Frons & Co. we don't have it so bad!!!!! I am glad I don't watch CBS, those poor actors and actresses have to deal with alot of crap!!!!!!!!!

Nelson honey I love the way you drop it like its hot! The truth is never pretty and I must agree that when you put it out there about how things really are, that's the only way people will take stock and listen. Since you've enlightened us with your info, CBS and P&G will come around so that they can make nice with you in order for you to back off.

Great show guys.
I have a feeling TPTB at CBS are going to really regret making an "enemy" out of Nelson B.
I would have LOVED to have seen BE on Y&R as Paul's sister!! That would have been so great!!
As for MM quitting B&B...can't say I'm too upset about that. I posted on here awhile ago that she's more suited for Broadway than a soap. Good Luck to her!

Good show guys!
It's good that Nelson is speaking his mind about the behind the scenes goings on because it sometimes feels that tptb are insulting our intelligence when it comes to what really goes on behind the scenes.
BTW, I think Farah Fath and Jon-Paul Lavoisier are an adorable couple!!!

Great podcast! Sometimes people just need to speak the truth and when TPTB are not behind a genre that we all love, someone better be vocal about it.

AS honest as Mr Branco was, I think that came out as all ego. But I do love it when you guys just go off on your podcast. I guess he got tired of playing nice.

I glad that someone is speaking out about the way P&G is treating their stars who are working to the bone and not being rewarded for their hard work and you can see in the s/l that it is favoritism to other characters than other. I don't blame BE and RPG for leaving "GL" and going to another network where they will be treated like they should be treated.
