Crystal Chappell asked to return to DAYS???

Well, well, well... how the tables have turned!  Carbo fans smarted over what was regarded as a huge insult and unfairness some time last year; when Crystal Chappell was bounced out of DAYS OF OUR LIVES and a wonderful love story- Bo & Carly- ended on a very sad note. But since that time CC has only waxed stronger as she threw all her acting talents and energy on her hit web series; VENICE (which even earned her an Emmy,  so sucks to NBC) and two more for her fans to look forward to... The Groove  and The Team. Since her firing, she's gotten even more love and support and I for one admire her greatly at the way she simply accepted what happened and  went onwards. And since she left; DAYS went from bad to worse; no thanks to a very silly man.
Now what did we Carbos hear recently via Twitter? The embattled DAYS executive producer Ken Corday has fired the head writers and rehired the ones he fired after CC's departure and more so... CC has been asked to return to DAYS! HA... like I predicted in my open letter to Corday & another post ; he was going to regret doing what he did and now it's turned out to be true. But CC, however  turned down the offer to reprise her memorable role of Carly Manning; which is not to be wondered after what she had to put up with the last time; bias, bias and more bias!

On one hand it's a pity because the Carbo fans really want Bo and Carly to reunite.... *sigh* but on the other hand, what reason does she have to go back to DAYS? They obviously want to use her to bring back ratings, probably give her character an unsatisfactory story line and the viewers who support Bo and Carly will only end up disillusioned again. If thats the case, all the more good  reason why she respectfully declined their offer; she's far bigger than
that ridiculous show which is nothing more than a ruin long
faded from its former glory.

Ken Corday had no respect  for the viewers' wishes last year and he has no right to ask the lady to come back after the way she was abruptly fired. Personally I'm not  surprised she said no; I would have done the same thing in her shoes. If KC wants to salvage his precious show (which I doubt he actually cares about) he should be prepared to offer more than he offered to CC before, plus a public apology.IF it's more than acceptable then yay Carbo back on our screens! But if the answer's still no yet again; it doesn't change our love for Crystal. After hearing she declined returning to the show we all love her even more!

                                                   Kudos to you CC!!! xxx

Always Whitney... Queen of Pop

And yet, it doesn't seem like she's gone at all; probably every time I saw her in her music videos, films or smiling on the front covers of magazines; I always had a vision of a vibrant woman full of life with the most melodious voice I've ever heard. My first glimpse of her so many years ago was in a Cola commercial where she sang "The Greatest Love of All", in Disco Rally which featured her music video "I'm Your Baby Tonight" and then of course "The Bodyguard" and her rendition of Dolly Parton's "I'll Always Love You" later.
It's so very sad, especially after the welcome news a few years back of her finally completing her rehab and embracing her fresh start; what on earth could have killed this lovely lady who always radiated warmth, love and energy
I'm at a loss of words because I'm very sad at the tragic passing of Whitney Huston, Queen of Pop and all I can do is pray for her soul and remember her at her best.
R.I.P Whitney. XXX

SORTILEGIO vs TU O NADIE

GALAXY TV is pouring out televenovelas more than any other channel so far but the one holding my interest is SORTILEGIO . Now I wrote a post about this telenovela in this  blog  back in February 2010 and for those Naija folks just visiting this blog;

Parents VS Children

A friend of mine came to see me one day with a grievance. Apparently; she'd been badmouthed to a family friend who accused her of being stingy. She immediately denied it of course but it only gave the woman the green light to pour out the list of 'stingy' crimes, all of which happened years back by the way. And not only did her accuser denied her the opportunity to defend herself or say she wasn't that person any more (something I can personally testify to if I was called) but she was told that the person who'd badmouthed her in the first place... was her own mother.
'I'm never, ever going to be a good child in her eyes.' was the bitter conclusion. 'I try and try and this is what I get. She hates it when one of us refers to the past and preaches to us about forgiving and forgetting. If she can't do the same, what's the point of cancelling out something bad you did in the past?'
What does one call this; injustice, backstabbing...hypocrisy? We're supposed to learn from our parents' example and teachings but this sort of thing is one of the reasons why why parents communicate lesser with their children and the rapport they'd shared with them during their toddler, preteen days fades away for good. They either think they know their children and form a rigid opinion about them or they go about deliberately hurting their feelings with the misguided thought they're correcting them. Also, they tend to expect too much from their children; either comparing them with other children or determined to mold them into  the children they WANT them to be ; so they shouldn't complain when the children eventually stop talking to them.
Parents, whether they mean to or not, alienate their children at some point; mostly through unfair criticism and thrashing them to their so called friends and accuse  them of disrespect when the defendants attempt to defend themselves and the worse part of it all; they will never admit they are wrong when they hear the true story. So based on that; I  call it injustice. If they want to keep their children's love; they should SHOW love instead of doing their best to lose it forever.

"One who is injured ought not to return the injury; for on no account  can it be right to do an injustice."-SOCRATES

REMEMBERING BO & CARLY: Carbo Love Montages

Most Carbo fans made beautiful montages of this memorable couple, including me and ever time uploaded; I always felt I was expressing just how much I loved Carly & Bo. Here are my favourites including a few 'lost' ones. They've been posted here and there in this blog so here's a proper view of them. PS: a few of them features Robert Kelker-Kelley; who was recasted as Bo Brady for a time until Peter Reckell returned.  ENJOY!
