Letter in SOW

:)Letter in May 13th issue from our own Steve O'Brien in response to the Miss article in recent SOW about not using Jay enough. Naomi

[Steve]

Thanks, Naomi. I haven't seen it yet - here's the actual e-mail I sent (I believe they condensed the following a bit):

I want to thank SOW for the excellent Critical Mass: Miss essay on Jay Kenneth Johnson (April 22 issue.) Your publication crystallized, in one succinct column, what so many of us have expressed to TPTB at Days and NBC time and again, via letters and e-mails, for the past 15 months. I'm sending copies of the Critical Mass piece to said network and series executives, in the hope they'll finally take note, step up to the plate and deliver an actual storyline for this immensely talented and charismatic, yet inexplicably underused and neglected actor.

GOOOOO Steve!! Congrats! What is this now, # 5 for you? Way cool. I hope they kept as much of your email as possible. I couldn't agree any more. Jay can handle so much more and all we get are teases. It drives me insane! I enjoy when he's on, but it just makes me want more ... more ... MORE! ;D

[Steve]

Thanks, Mindy. It's the 4th published message - all of which have been e-mails, BTW.

You are so right - he should be the center of a major story line revolving around his character, and yet, all we get are teases.

I hope TPTB finally 'get it' - Jay was only on two days last week, and I'm not sure how much he's on this week. He is SUCH a talent and find - it boggles the mind to know that, to date, Days and NBC have yet to tap into and utilize even a small portion of what Jay has to offer in terms of ability and presence.

Excellent letter.

CONGRATULATIONS Steve!!
That was a great letter and I'm so glad SOW printed it.

TWO letters regarding Jay/ Philip have been printed recently.
Please keep up the letters and e-mails to Days and the magazines to keep Jay at the fore-front in a good strong SL----and don't forget to write Jay too.
