That's funny you posted this because I've been wondering if the writers read the boards.
I've noticed that sometimes I'll see something on the show that I'd previously read about on the MB... an overdue explanation, etc. I figure they must check the boards out so they can see how well they're doing.
I can't imagine why not! It's free and immediate feedback. Of course, it's dependent on time, and most actors, writers, and producers know to take it with a grain of salt since some posters can be particularly nasty about actors' looks, personality traits, and other superficial things, but I would imagine that they are curious about how viewers feel about their characters and the show in general.
Some EPs have admitted to being very on top of viewer feedback, such as Paul Rauch and Frank Valentini. Both also watch the competition as much as their time allows. (Rauch claims to be familiar with every soap at all times). Others, such as Chris Goutman, Ken Corday, and Brad Bell, have publicly stated that they do not read any fan mail, online message boards, or watch any other soap.

I sure do! ;)
Chris is really Todd.
Miss B is really Gigi (exlains the Shane hatred :D)
ICAM with your post ICS, but isn't the more important question to ask- Why aren't we all watching Desperate Housewives on ABC? (Sundays 9/8 Central)? I just LOVE that guy who plays the gay lawyer- he looks like a young Jim Garner!

I have no proof, but I'd bet my hat Scott Clifton posted on the GH board when he was on that show.
Others have said that they've checked out message boards, w/mixed results. For the ones I've heard of, most don't do it a lot. They do it for awhile & then move on to something else. Others just don't bother w/them.
Actors are no more or less busy than anyone else. If they choose to spend down time/free time online that is their business. Lots of them have their own websites & blog, tweat & such.
