I suppose they are not proud of how they have canceled this historic show, and so perhaps this is why they pushed you aside. I can not tell you how unhappy I was to not see you guys on TV! I had my eyes glued to the set! I only wished I could have joined you all, it was a work day for me, and I am in Texas so the logistics were hard...but after seeing your video, I really wished I had gone to be with you! I was so moved by it! I especially want to thank those who organized this...it was a fabulous idea! Keep those ideas coming!!! - (Elizabeth from Guiding Light Central)Ellie4catshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06689613487388509817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2585163331194032530.post-25371602778050460782009-05-22T22:40:06.210-04:002009-05-22T22:40:06.210-04:00Bless all the GL and Otalia fans that could make i...Bless all the GL and Otalia fans that could make it to the rally. It sounds like CBS showed what kind of people they really are. They obviously don't believe in freedom of speech. Well, I for one, will not watch anything else on CBS, and I will not buy products that are advertised while their shows are on. They don't realize that we are the people that they make their money from. They should'nt have treated the GL fans that way. Shame on them. I will do all I can to get friends and family and anyone that will listen, to not have anything to do with CBS again. Kudos to GL fans that were able to make it to the rally. You are a cool bunch, with lots of heart. We are not finished yet. Purple love to all of you!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2585163331194032530.post-79430155403076126092009-05-22T20:45:19.045-04:002009-05-22T20:45:19.045-04:00Wish, I could have been there.

But once some folks showed up with signs I think security started thinking we were going to be disruptive even though we told them we had no intention of disrupting the show. <br /><br />People with signs mentioning other things were able to stay there. Nothing that happened would have made anyone think we were anything but peaceful, supportive fans, but they obvious perceived us as something else.<br /><br />They also told us that our "special place" would still be shown during the show and they would put us on TV.Roger Newcomb (We Love Soaps)https://www.blogger.com/profile/02714900181367233527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2585163331194032530.post-28195040612952781312009-05-22T14:09:37.823-04:002009-05-22T14:09:37.823-04:00Once again CBS proves that it doesn't care about v...Once again CBS proves that it doesn't care about viewers.

Hmmm, well, cudos to all the fans who had the guts to be there and speak out with signs and presence. I'd of been there if in anyway possible but I live in Florida.

The only thing CBS understands or cares about is nielson ratings. That is why all GL fans should turn off the rest of the CBS daytime lineup immediately. If enough of us turn off Y&R and B&B THAT will get their attention. 5 million Y&R/GL viewers minus 2 million GL viewers = a 40% Y&R ratings collapse. <br /><br />Watch Y&R on Soapnet if you must, but don't support it on CBS.LBchNYhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17669111459717051614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2585163331194032530.post-68894699941089744342009-05-22T13:05:33.143-04:002009-05-22T13:05:33.143-04:00I wish I was there.
