Trying to remove painted wallpaper from a bathroom. The drywall was not primed and is tearing the drywall here and there as I am removing the paper. Most of the paper is coming right off. I have scored and sprayed a wallpaper remover on it, but it
is still tearing. Any suggestions to save the drywall?!?

If its only tearing it 'here and there' I'd say keep going and just expect to do some drywall repair when finished. If its tearing it up COMPLETELY, then its a different story.
