UNCENSORED QUOTES OF THE WEEK:
“Los Angeles is warm this time of year.”
—Emmy winner Erika Slezak in response to whether or not she’d consider visiting GH in an interview with Examiner.com
Translation: And by L.A., I mean the city where the Forresters live!
“I must say that ads and press releases by ABC are a little misleading and I feel I need to clarify to all my friends, family, and fans that are emailing and calling wondering when I’m moving to Los Angeles. Frank Valentini, GH’s EP, asked me to come out for a couple of shows in February and I’m thrilled.”
—Kassie DePaiva on the confusion regarding her GH-ONE LIFE crossover
Translation: ABC press releases misleading? No, you don’t say!
“I’m shaking babies and kissing hands.”
—Jeff Zucker regarding Katie Couric’s excellent new syndication clearing
Translation: Well, everyone except soap fans.
“Shaken-baby syndrome will be our first show.”
—Katie Couric in response to Zucker’s comment
Translation: Why not — we killed a lot to get this show.
“Brian’s phone and voicemail is still active at ABC!”
—A source tells me
Translation: He still likes to call up Kelly Monaco for phone sex every now and then on ABC’s dime.
“ABC was not owned by Disney [then]; Disney is a much more racially integrated corporate culture. If it were Disney [at the time], I would have been there. I would have been a major star with mega-million dollars.”
—Ellen Holly in her latest delusional interview with DIGEST
Translation: Fuck racial equality — all Mama cares about is getting paid. Memo to Holly: If Disney was in charge back then there’d be fewer minorities on screen. Just looks at their films and TV projects from the ‘70s, honey!
“It’s Pat’s role. He’s Austin. That’s him, and I wish him all the best. He’s more Austin than I ever was. He was the first, and I just happened to play it longer.”
—Austin Peck to DIGEST on his predecessor reclaiming Austin on DAYS
