Quoting limited to 4 levels deep
Read up at the original post, it was started to be insulting and adding terms like "loser central" just perpetuates it.

Why on earth do you come to the boards if it embarrasses you? Voluntarily embarrassing yourself by associating with "losers" is a head scratcher.
I'm the OP.

Let me guess, you're one of those typical overweight, unfortunate looking hausfraus who use to go to these daytime conventions? Struck a nerve with you did I?
Not really. I just don't get mean people. Especially mean people operating under a cloak of anonymity.
Honestly? I've wondered the same thing. I'm not sure if the OP meant it to be mean or not but I have always wondered if certain genres attract certain types of people. Like how a lot of male Star Trek fans have a really awkward look to them. Maybe soaps attract similar people as say romance novels? Some women who might feel a little rejected or outcast in society and are looking for a fantasy escape?

I don't see anything wrong with people finding fan events embarrassing. I'm a fan of a couple scifi and fantasy series and I hate stuff like comicon. I have never been to any fan events or actor events and I can't see why I would go.
I won't go to those fan event simply because I don't want to get that close to the actors. I love loving them from a distant and it has nothing to do and it has nothing to do with how other normal people may look, act or whatever. I run across various, different people with different shapes and sizes with different looks by just going to the groceries stores/malls/casinos/movies/jobs why do people that goes to soaps fans events get singles out? It was a mean thing to say period.

Okay, if you want to be all politically correct about it and ignore the truth, that is your prerogative, I suppose.

Can Duke be redeemed?

I used to love Duke, and thought Duke/Anna would always be a great, enduring GH love story. Now, Duke has been totally ruined, pledging his undying allegiance to that murderous thug Sonny and wholeheartedly doing his dirty work. Can he not hear himself when he's talking about having people killed? He's not even his own person anymore, just Sonny's puppet, constantly propping his master and protecting his "business." He even had the nerve to try to weigh in on the Avery custody issue with Michael. The best part of last week was the verbal smackdown he got from Michael. I would love to see Duke and Anna eventually reunite, but not with her caving and deciding she must love him despite the choice he made. Instead, I want to see him come to his senses before it's too late, turn his back on Sonny and help Anna put all of PC's mobsters behind bars.

Interesting how we discuss actors looks here all day long, but as soon as someone makes a comment about fans looks the entire world comes crumbling down.

I don't even see where anybody was being mean.

I enjoy mob Duke. It's been exactly the shot in the arm both the character, and IB, needed since his return.

ia Duke being n the mob and playing a real mobster, not the fake nice mobster nothing like we've gotten from years from Sonny/jason. It doesn't make me want him with Anna but it works for his character and make him at least interesting. I say if they're gonna do mob? I want to see the real kind, deadly and dangerous. However, wish Duke could've achieved all of this power on his own and not being a Sonny's puppet, that's the true downside of it. Lately, Ian has been more interesting playing villain over playing the romance with Anna even back in the day? They got boring really fast and now in the 21st ? it's excruciating boring. I think Ian is in his element when he's playing villains.

I agree. I think IB is better at playing villains. The romantic hero type he just can't sell and thats been obvious. As long as IB is happy with the material, and I don't think he would not be considering the amount of screen time he is getting, then all is good.

Just like when he was playing Faison. He did a fantastic job with it and viewers were really loving him esp when kicked Jason in the water but as soon as they brought him back as Duke? It went downhill. He's definitely more interesting as a villain.
