Guys, I have been trying to edit and update this column ever since the site crashed yesterday. I guess they are still trying to work out all the bugs (I am unable to edit right now). Here is the edited version of my column, which gives you more updated contact information! XOXO!

Hey Gang,



I have just heard from my source that warned me that all of this was coming, which is how I was able to give fans an early heads up. They are informing me that although ABC is feeling the heat, Disney is laughing us off completely. That we are going after the wrong monster. We have definitely made progress, and our voices are being heard loud and clear, but I am hearing that Disney feels very untouched by all of this because we haven't been aiming for the heart.

Disney does not care very much about ABC (that much is apparent). The network has gone downhill ever since Disney acquired it. Hear tell they would like to unload it. They are feeling the heat from what we are doing, but apparently Disney is laughing us off since we are not affecting them directly (go figure). The person who has been giving me so many incredible scoops over the past several months is warning me that although we are putting pressure on ABC, we are not attacking the real monster. Disney needs to feel it the most or it means very little. This means addressing Disney's sponsors as well as ABC's. This means focusing a little more on Disney themselves, and their products. We need to contact the heads of Disney, and tell them that we will no longer take our families to Disneyland or Disneyworld, and will not buy their products or services any longer (which is our right). We have been doing some very good work here (and have made progress), but we are only giving them flesh wounds when we need to be aiming for the heart. From what I was told, Disney finds this all very amusing, even though ABC does not. If we get to Disney, it will trickle down to ABC with some real force. Time for a brainstorming session here. I am not sure that I will be able to get a column out as I usually do by the weekend, with all of this going on (It will probably be late and run into next week). Sorry, but I have to choose what is most important now (I have given you a few updates in between as well).

In addition, my head is spinning from the massive rewrites, and early exits that are about to take place over the coming months. This is going to be a nightmare for scoopsters everywhere (soap sites included). As I warned you a week ago, GH's fate is sealed, so don't let ABC play you into thinking that what we are doing will hurt them. It's already a done deal (they have a years tops). For now, a list of Disney Executives to contact regarding the situation. Please do not be disrespectful or nasty to these people when writing them. Write heartfelt letters on what the ABC soaps have meant to you, and how you will miss Disney and their parks as a result. We need to contact the advertisers from the Disney channels themselves (anybody that receives any of the various Disney channels at home, would be of great assistance in this regard). Think of products of any kind that bear Disney's name. You know that I am always honest with you (I do not pull any punches). My sources have been on the money throughout this whole ordeal, and I believe them. For now a list of the heads at Disney. I do not have individual e-mail addresses, so if anybody wants to poke around, that would be great (we may have to snail mail these people). What is most important are Disney’s direct advertisers. It's called freedom of speech, and we have a right to it. I'm crunched for time, so this will give you a start....

These shows mean something to millions of Americans. They are part of the heart and soul of America. They are beautifully scripted stories that have enthralled viewers for many generations. They are doing away with a way of life here. This is not about just canceling a show. We have nothing if not our voices. Let them be heard loud and clear. It is our right under the constitution, and we are choosing to exercise that right in spades!

I wrote the following on Hoover's wall at Facebook (incredibly touched that a a company as big as Hoover still believes in values, integrity, and most importantly, hasn't lost their soul). Thank you Hoover!

You are doing an amazing thing here. You have shown people everywhere that your company stands for something more than just the almighty dollar. What you have done took a lot of courage and strength of character. So many of us are proud to call ourselves customers of yours today. What ABC is doing is based solely on greed. They were not losing money. They were not going into the hole here. They did this because they are greedy and soulless. These shows mean something to millions and millions of Americans. They are richly woven into the very fabric of America. Now the wonderful actors who have entertained us for years will face an industry with nothing but reality shows. Many will be unemployed for extended periods of time. All that will be left for them are scraps. This was not a business decision. This was a bargain made in hell, and viewers want no part of it.

Finally, a fabulous blog by someone I truly adore because she is as beautiful on the inside as she is on the outside (Cat Hickland). XOXO!

P.S. We are doing most of our brainstorming at Facebook, but please feel free to fire away out here as well! :)

Someone on Twitter said Disney told them to talk to ABC. What a run around! Disney is feeling heat or they wouldn't want it directed away from them. I say keep on with the calls etc. to Disney as well as ABC. JMO
