Same here. I would happily write that Judith Chapman's character stole Diana's identity for the Colville fortune and she admits this to Leo when she learns she's dying. This has Leo leave Salem in search of Diana, who may or may not still be alive. Him leaving mysteriously just like she did in decades past.

Demi Moore is who I'm rooting for the most, though I wouldn't mind if Mikey Madison or Fernanda Torres snagged it. Lead Actress is really the only interesting category this year. Emilia Perez is rightfully already known as one of the worst movies to be so successful at awards season. At least they spared us a Selena Gomez nomination. Isabella Rossellini winning would be amazing to see. Who doesn't love her?

Congratulations to Lesley-Anne Down for being nominated for Worst Supporting Actress for Reagan, playing Margaret Thatcher, for the 2025 Razzie Awards. What an honour!

I would have been cheering if Bonnie had died. Though I will say kudos to the make-up team, because Bonnie looked real messed up. It was good to see Justin, too. I can't agree that Kerry had any potential either. The actor has no charisma whatsoever, and barely seems to be much of an actor tbh. Abigail Klein is the blandest actor on the show. Stephanie could be much more interesting and easily given more layers and nuances if the actress wasn't the definition of generic. On opposite sides of that coin, I really enjoy Elia Cantu and her projective MorningNews voice. She deserves to be so much more than she is on this show. I see they are now building up Philip to lose his mind again. He's been a breath of fresh air and one of the best things about the show. JPL is engrossing when he chooses to playing things straight and is good at showing the complexity of Philip, so it'll be really sad for me to see him start to spiral. The DiMera takeover plan is so tired to me. I just hope whatever they have him do this time, they don't go too far from redemption, especially in contrast to all of Xander's evil deeds.

To sum up, the gays all suck, and not in the fun way. To pivot, for Paula Cwikly it'll be over 22 years since she was last headwriter. Is that the longest time between stints for a headwriter returning to front the same show again?

But shouldn't that be on the family to publish any details? The site I was on even had his exact time of death. It's just strange that anyone in the world can access this information. Wouldn't suicide even be enough anyway? There's no need for anyone to know what form, that's just ruthlessly macabre.

I saw how he died yesterday, but wasn't sure if it was appropriate to mention how he died. Why does LA have a site where they publicize in detail how civilians pass away? It seems unnecessary for it to be so easily accessible. Either way, he seemed so full of life and had a glow up since his time on DAYS. You really never know what something is going through. R.I.P.

Really quick episode today. The only parts I cared to watch were about Chanel, and Bonnie falling down the elevator shaft. Greg Rikaart, the guy playing Kerry, and Al Calderon were all completely awful in the brief moments I could stomach watching their terribly written scenes for this inane so called story. The gays on this show make me want to die, but no more so than the gays writing it. As a writer you must have an immense talent to have Deidre Hall, Judi Evans, and Lauren Koslow in a scene and have every single second be complete trash. I enjoy the show outside of this mess, even the Arnold story, but I despise this absolute crap.

Same here. All for the stupid, here's the movie that made the most money award. I hate that they kowtowed to stupid people.

What the actual? He was a beautiful man and following him on Insta, he seems like an awesome guy and one of the gays to boot! However this happened, an awful tragedy has occurred. Thanks for posting.

I still remembering watching this live at home as a kid during the Pay-Per-View days. F*cking iconic!

You just know at some point there'll be a long lost son coming out the woodwork.

I love those type of completely unexpected wins. Another great moment in a solid show.

She was who I was happiest for amongst the winners. Such a beautiful moment to see. Also happy Wicked lost all the real categories.

You just broke the news to me. What the actual f*ck!?! She was extremely talented. Completely floored.

I honestly am not minding the Arnold story so far. I mean, Rafe has already seen him so this story is going at warp speed anyway. Bring on the reveal we saw in the DoD promo, and Dan F (not spelling all that) is good at being a bastard so I'm being entertained. I've never been a fan of Shawn and Belle as a couple because of how utterly forced and oversold it always was, but the way their being written now, as actual adults with faults and regrets really helps bring the show down to earth from all the craziness.

The Horton Christmas was great. They should have gone all the way classic and had a breaking the fourth wall speech of thanks from Susan Seaforth Hayes, who was especially wonderful in this episode. I found it curious that they showed Jessica's ball, but not Marie's. And Mike and Jeremy's, but not Lucas'. I despise having Ciara's kids called Bo and Addie. Making them middle names, of course, but they have already been stripped of having any sort of identity. If the show lasts long enough for them to be brought on as young adults, they would not go by those names anymore. Heck, make one of them trans and have the other change their name in solidarity or something. If this show was written as well as it was in it's psycho-sexual and emotional height, Kristen could be such a fascinating character, and Stacy Haiduk certainly has the chops to sell strong material, but as soap has become whittled down and generic, she is so tiresome. The Lani scenes made her seem (a little) less of a cartoon. She should be devastated to love Brady, without him wanting her, tired and aware of the heartbreak it causes her to be rejected again and again, seeing how much the man she loves loathes her, knowing rationally that she should move on from him, not knowing how to do that, but suffering at the yearning of her daughter to have her parents reunited, the child she's always dreamed of having, the child she thought would solve all her problems of loneliness and feeling unloved and alone. There should start to be real emotional and physical associations with this tiredness to fight for something she doesn't believe in anymore because she feels like it's her job as a mother. Then a new man enters her life and Rachel schemes against them, like she's done with Brady and Ava, making Kristen confused and unsure whether this man has pure intentions or is somehow just using her for his own purposes. It could all be so fascinating and gripping and gut-wrenching if they wanted it to be.

Just spitballing, but it could be fun if Brennan seduced Joss/have an affair with her to make Carly's head explode. I'm thinking it'd be reminiscent of Dorian/Cassie and the character John Martin played on OLTL. Those classic confrontation scenes where Dorian goes on about him being a coward randomly popped into my mind so here we are. Emma could find out about the affair first and use to against Joss somehow, or just to mess with her. Could be fun. And ultimately, lead to the the exits of Brennan and Joss.

Bringing back Rafe2 is random as hell, but I'm surprised no one mentioned that his return probably answers the question as to how Johnny learns EJ raped Sami from the DoD promo. I'm not really mad at it, tbh. Anyway, I didn't watch HIgley's horrible reigns much, so I had no idea Rafe2 being alive was a ret-con. I just bought it as more exposition, in this case much needed, that this show loves to expound on. To my recollection, JPL was completely subtle today. RSW is playing their newfound rivalry completely one-note ass, so maybe that's why JPL knew to tone it down. I didn't mind it with Johnny, because Johnny literally cheated on his wife, but I wish Alex could have had some nuance for the cousin (is that what they are?) he's known all his life. But yeah, I am team Philip against Xander, who I enjoy more than Alex, so literally there's no way I'm team Alex and his ugly shirts. Best he leave them off for the foreseeable. Paulina is so annoying. Obviously less than Leo, maybe more than Sarah depending on the day.

Thank God my Italian-Canadian family never dared do all that with the damn fish. They had a seafood salad that I always skipped, leading my siblings/cousins to fight for who got my portion. The power I had then! (No disrespect intended, Abc) Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays everyone! I look forward to New Years Eve when I will be getting zooted into another dimension as we transition to the new year. As it should be!
