It'll be interesting to see if the Day of Days promo will feature any material from the new HWs or not.

Weird to think that by the time his last episode airs, we'll be 3/4 months into The Gates.

Oh, but how funny this news was announced on the anniversary of his first credited episode.

Even though I hated the majority of his work on this show, he should be very proud to have lasted 7 years. Even creating your own soap hasn't guaranteed some Head Writers that long of a tenure. I loved Paula Cwikly's previous stint. She and Peter Brash were only fired in the first place because their stories allegedly were too expensive for the budget. Their only strange choice was the Gemini twins initial introduction, but I ended up liking both Rex (only Eric Winter's portrayal) and Cassie. I'm still pissed Higley retconned them to be Roman/Kate's kids. If they had been allowed to continue as Head Writers for a longer stint, I think the show would be in a much healthier place than it is now. I just hope her and Ford choose to write this show for adults again. I beg.

Amazing! Why isn't there a GIF of that moment? Still, it's really cool to see her on these classic episodes.

Kind of impossible for it to be January 1963 when the show hadn't even debuted yet.

The legend, Bob Newhart! Bob Newhart, Dean of the Deadpan Delivery, Dies at 94

Barton Fink (1991) - This may be strange to some, but this was actually my first foray into seeing the work of the Coen brothers. It was fascinating to see John Goodman in this movie knowing it came out during the height of Roseanne. He was the best part of it, IMO. Michael Lerner getting an Oscar nomination over him seems strange to me. I had no idea where the film was going, so the twist with Judy Davis' character and the way the rest of the movie plays out really jolts you to pay attention to the craziness that then unfolds. And who knew this was the original "what's in the box?" A facetious remark referencing "Seven" that amuses me. Writer's block is no joke, man.

Oh, of course. I was more trying to get into the heads of what the PTB could be thinking. Could even be that GH could legitimately be potentially on the chopping block.

I wonder if history could repeat itself and The Gates will run with B&B for 5-6 months before B&B is ultimately cancelled like what happened with Passions/Sunset Beach.

Knowing nothing, I'm assuming Korte will get a chance to prove herself on her own and these horrible ratings were blamed squarely on Mulcahey, which leads to the question of, how long will Korte get to prove herself. I mean, I know I have no faith in her, but it'd be interesting to get into the mind of whatever person is responsible or hiring/firing HWs/EPs.

Unfortunately, the new Sugden is allegedly being paired with the insufferable Aaron Dingle.

Absolutely adored her. BH90210, Heathers, Charmed. Such a wonderful actress. I'll miss her a lot.

I'll always love my man Pasquale, the singing Italian Chef! Always so comforting, like watching your Nonno make dinner. Was he known in the US? An episode:

Are they doing a serial killer story?

It's all mentioned/listed on Jason's site. Whatever Julie/Victor did or didn't have happened earlier in the 90s.

They got married for the third and final time off-screen in 1993. It was first mentioned they had done so when they returned later that year on Christmas Eve.

It's been almost three months said we heard anything concrete. I'm gasping!

Going down a bit of a rabbit hole googling Brian Lane Green (ex-Alan Brand). Does anyone remember him being a good actor? He's a Tony nominee, who lost to Jason Alexander, and was also on AW and AMC. Seeing pictures of him, he was quite good looking, could obvously sing, and he came out as gay in 2003. I think it was said by Sheri Anderson or someone that the DAYS PTB had planned to have a gay supercouple in the 80s, and people speculated he was going to be one half of the couple, but of course, the network axed that idea from coming to fruition. Just one of those curious untapped potential type things.

Another GH alum that passed away in June but was only announced today ... Joan Benedict, ‘Candid Camera’ Actress and Widow of Rod Steiger, Dies at 96

The first Tiny Desk concert!

Fascinating! Thanks for sharing.

How did Astrid get assigned the role? Where did her name come from?
