Subject: Congratulations to Beth and Fiona:)

SAVING FIONA

When the news of Fiona Hutchison's (Gabrielle) release from One Life to Live hit the press, fans of the beloved star took action to rescue her from a soap demise. Under the guidance of campaign organizers Beth Reid and Fiona Forrest, viewers have called, emailed, petitioned and snipped cereal boxes in hopes of saving their favorite Llanview resident. The actress is amazed by their efforts. "I'm touched," Hutchison says incredulously. "I wish I had something to give back to them ... The best thing I can do is go out there and audition and call up [TV Guide Online] with some good news." Hutchison has already made inroads. She and her husband John Viscardi (ex-Tony, OLTL) have started the Copake Theater Company in Copake, N.Y. "Our first production is on Dec. 20. It's a comedy night," she says. Despite the outpouring of support, Gabrielle's fate has been set in ink. "I think Fiona is amazing, and we loved having her, but I feel that her leaving the show serves the story," states OLTL executive producer Frank Valentini. "I appreciate that [the audience] loves her; we love her, too. She has great stuff towards her exit."

WHOO HOO!!! This campaign is soooo BIG thanks to you guys!

Thank you, Beth and Fiona:)

Hi guys. Thanks so much Feen. I really did not expect TV Guide to mention Fiona and myself but they did. Wow. When we talked to them they said this is the biggest campaign in history to save a soap character. Even beats the Deidre Hall Campaign. I was like shut up! The lady said oh yea, it's massive. I was like GO US!!! TIIC don't have a clue how many fans this woman has and how much the audience loves her. They are so stupid going through with this. They are shooting themselves in the foot. All they have to do is not kill her and there wouldn't be so much backlash but no, they have to do the dumbest thing ever. Well, then they can continue to receive our backlash because the thousands of fans in on this are not quitting. It's Bring Back Gabrielle Campaign time. We're going to annoy the heck out of them until they fix this. I don't care if they do air her last scene. It's a soap and they can fix it. Idiots.

Fiona Hutchison simply rocks. She will be back out there amazing us again with her talent. OLTL's loss, somebody elses major gain.

You're welcome, Beth! This campaign ROCKS!!!:) I mean, our campaign was mentioned on SOAPTALK!!!!!!!! LOL Speaking of bugging the heck out of people, I better get more emails out;)

Katie, as long as Fiona Hutchison is out there, this site will stay up forever! Just because a character is gone, doesn't mean it's over! We still got memories until this mistake is fixed! Remember Buzz and Jenna....that couple is SOOO far from over:)

I had tons of sour feelings toward GL in 1998. Didn't we all? I didn't watch it at all for a good 3 years. Maybe watched 10-15 complete episodes last year...and this year I couldn't even tell you how many I've watched. The show is gradually getting to the point where it is watchable. OLTL right now is at the point where GL was in 1998 for me. The show in general for me sucks. The only characters I like right now are Rex, Roxy, Dorian and David Vickers. Only my opinion.

"To build may have to be the slow and laborious task of years. To destroy can be the thoughtless act of a single day."
-"Sir Winston Churchill"

The quote reminds me of OLTL right now.
