  1. Wow, Melody (spellcheck on the title, guys) really has a case of the sour grapes! Doesn't everyone know about the realities of budget on soaps, that performers have to be shuffled around sometimes and, yes, not everyone gets treated respectfully. But why is she only making a big about this now that it's happened to her when it's happened to countless others in the past? Be grateful you have a job and thousands of fans who want to see you every day and let the small stuff go.
