I know that is what I don't get. Who borrows money to go on vacation? It is just so silly. We don't!!!! Not that it's ANYONES business but that was the ONE vacation we ever have been on together and it was paid for in FULL by us. We saved for that trip and to sit here and have a bunch of strangers all over the internet gossip about it is pretty lame. And FALSE. I deserved that vacation and anyone who has an issue with MY FAMILY vacation that was bought and paid for by US is a bit insane. Who cares where we go? Jeez! Also, no money was borrowed. Believe that. Don't believe everything you read, folks! Welcome to the forum Michelle. I hope you take a chance to look around. I just wanted to say first off your daughter is beautiful and also I loved your husband on GH and I know you weren't with him at the time but he didn't seem to deserve how Jay treated him, and the gossiping and disrespect that went on. We only saw a tiny bit of what they put on tv about it, I am sure it was even worse than what we saw. I don't even like GH anymore (Except to look at steve ) because it is lacking in humor and personality. Please let Brian know that many fans I know feel the same way.

Hi Michelle, Welcome to the forum. If you read my posts I am one of the few who stick up for Brian. I think the whole drama was stupid. I actually happen to be a fan. So enjoy your time here. If you look at our post you will see we do not attack each other here. We are not at all like Scifi and I am sure our members here will respect you and your posts. So if you do have an issue with anyone of us please feel free to PM us. Like I said we are not like Scifi and do not fight or argue in the the threads. So please take the time to read the threads here and get an idea of what we are all about here. With that said please enjoy your time here. Oh and any ideas on how to get through to Brian on Bware radio I have tried for 2 weeks now and I have been totally bummed that I have not been able to get thru. I know it must suck to have your personal life drug through the mud. Many of us realize that GH is just a TV show and that they had to make someone the bad guy and it was Brian on GH and it looks like it was Shannon on GHI. Shannon posts here and is really nice. I hated how they tore her apart. But I think that is the sad price people pay for being on TV. Tell Brian to rock on.

They're just joking Michelle, promise. People here really like and respect Brian overall. Welcome to the bboard. Hey KK, how's it going? Hope you are enjoying the weekend and staying cool. That post of mine isn't directed at them, it's more of a blanket statement for all the people I have seen talk smack about my family and our ONE vacation we took together. I've sat and been judged for almost.. what ..3 years now and said nothing. When people come up to me and ask me why I was a bitch that got Brian fired, I smile and kindly correct them, however, when certain people call into question my PERSONAL life, it pisses me off. Been doing great. Working long hours, but can't complain. Hope you are doing great as well. Mckenzie is adorable ;D Guess I missed the "vacation" drama and the story behind that one. You're right, of course. It's one thing to tear apart an image on a television screen, and quite another to think you have the right to criticize a human being's personal life, especially when you don't know that person. I think the reason people go after you and Brian and no one else is because his private life has at times been part of the story line - i.e., the "toxic relationship" with the other lady. So people mistakenly believe they know him. They don't.

Very true KK. But I really think the people to blame for the way Brian is portrayed on GH is Pilgrim and the editing. They needed drama and they made Brian the target for the Brian. I cannot imagine a loved one being talked badly about. It must be very hard.

I cannot imagine a loved one being talked badly about. It must be very hard. Certainly. They have a huge hand in it. After all, we all know Shannon is really cool, and she got a raw deal on GHI. But I still believe people think they know someone based on the images on a screen, and they do not. People are making assumptions about Spencer from Moss Beach, and no one knows the first thing about him. All we saw was the edited version that was presented to us. I can understand Michelle wanting to draw the line at attacks on her personal life. On the flip side, however, i don't believe anyone here was intentionally attacking Brian. Like I said, most of us like him. And I know when she gets the chance to read more of the threads, she'll see that we are a very easy going group of people.

Believe that. Don't believe everything you read, folks! Hi Michelle and welcome to the forum! I notice this is your first post here. I hope you look around the forums and find many subjects you enjoy and wish to talk about. We do not consider ourselves a fan base board for any of these programs, nor necessarily anti of them either. However, diverse views arise here, as well as diverse opinions about the shows and characters on them. We do not expect our members to waffle or tip toe with their opinions, and we also expect any diverse argument being done in respect to rules pertaining to flaming. This is what we find to be in the best interest of all the members here, yourself included. With that said, I wil say I can certainly understand the frusteration one must feel seeing varioius opinions (not all may be nice) pertaining to some one you hold dear to your heart, or if and when something more personable is brought up. This is an unfortunate, but common dilemna that those whom are loved ones with a TV personifa, or other type of public person is often faced with. While one can not control the actions of others, stop rumors, stop negative opinions, they can control how their handling of these situations occur. Sometimes the handling of a situation like this makes a big difference. For instance, if one feels that an explaination is warranted, then a simple explaination minus a brawling tone is all that is needed. Another way is to choose the battles wisely. Or for those who are very sensitive to this sort of thing, they choose to avoid reading about such material and decide that they are not going to allow material out there to redefine who they are, as they know who they are. In the event of off show personal issues, if it were me, I would have a long talk with my TV lover/relative/fiance' about what should and should not be publically disclosed on TV or in blogs. In airing these publically, it can and does often result in people then making public opinons about them, and sometimes the facts can wind up a little distorted; thus preventative measure is what I would personally find to be the most helpful if it was me. As far as your fiance goes, personally, I never minded him, in fact, I personally thought he brought a certain charismatic feel to the GH that Grant or Jason lacked in. More over, the constant attack he was put under by those two did not at all impress me much. It's like sometimes a negative reaction can result in negative attention or impression.

Hey again First off, I have re-read my posts and I can see where they sound angry and confrontational. I want to apologize for that. It isn't what anyone here said that set me off, rather, the situation as a whole. When I saw Disney mentioned here again and the borrowing of money, yes it upset me because ever since it was brought up in public it has encouraged people to believe really awful things about us and it was 110% uncalled for. I KNOW I shouldn't react to things and post things when I am upset because what you want to say and what comes out are usually vastly different. So, I'm not above apologizing when I've given a wrong impression or misunderstood, so I do apologize. I LIKE that this board isn't slanted one way or the other. I think it's super boring when everyone has the same exact drone-like mindset and I appreciate places where diversity and friendly debate are encouraged. I will make it a point to look at the other threads and sub-boards here. JJ you're right. I do need a margarita and another vacation. Plus a midol. Anyway, I thank you all for welcoming me and getting your points across in a respectful manner. I will certainly reciprocate that sentiment.

Hey Michelle I am glad you came back! Believe me I can understand getting upset and no one is perfect all the time. Really my thoughts do go out to everyone that has a loved one that is in the spot light because it truly can be a ruthless world out there. For what it's worth, I know virtually very little about rumors and gossip surrounding Brian and make it a point not to really pay much attention to them. But then again I am also anti-tabloid too. I'll have people at work say to me "Did you hear about so and so (in the national enquirer or some other tabloid) and my response is normally "Nope, don't know and don't care to know either, that's their business not mine" lol
