Gossip from Jossip: "Carolyn Hinsey, editor of Soap Opera Weekly and Soap Opera Digest, was just fired, we're told. Hinsey is described to us as a "truly malicious, horrible human being." If true, then more of you must have stories!"
The thread at Jossip has now swollen to almost 2,000 responses, turning into a soap opera itself in the process. All of Hinsey's former employees are posting tell-all tales about their former boss, along with gossip about soap actors. My favorite bit of dish is about Y&R: seems that back in the day, Melody Thomas Scott (Nikki Newman) and Eric Braeden (Victor Newman) never learned their lines, depending mostly on cue cards.
The actor playing Jack Abbott, Peter Bergman, constantly ribbed Braeden and Scott about not knowing their lines, until one day Bergman went one joke too far and Braeden put up his dukes, beating Bergman to the tune of 27 stitches on Bergman's face. The cops were initially called in, Braeden was hidden away, no charges were filed, all was smoothed over and Bergman was shot from angles hiding his injuries...but now, whenever Victor Newman turns up wearing a wife beater and boxing gloves--for one of his trademark workouts in the Genoa City gym--I'll be grinning just a little bit harder.
PISS-ANTS OF THE WORLD, DON'T FUCK WITH ME--YOU GOT THAT?
