Bright Eyes

All those horrible channels are all the same to me. I don't know the difference.

Don't come for my Trevor Donovan. He's on regular rotation for those Hallmark type movies. Though, I just looked up his IMDb, and his upcoming movie has the most random ass cast of B-C level whites. Dennis Quaid, Jon Voight, Mena Suvari, and Lesley-Anne Down as MARGARET THATCHER!

Request: James McCaffrey (Rest in Peace)

I remember there was a time people were wondering what had ever happened to Vance Jefferis. Though under sad conditions, thanks for the update all the same.

I was reading THR's obituary on the recently passed actor David McKnight and in it a show called Bird of an Iron Feather is mentioned as the first all black soap opera that aired on a Chicago station for the first few months of 1970. I know there was a similarly sounding show that has been previously discussed here before but I can't remember if they are one and the same.

I feel like Ryan O'Neal has been a consistent part of my life for the longest time. From first seeing him in Bones as Brennan's criminal father, to gleefully binge-watching every episode of Peyton Place, to reading and hearing about his iconic pop culture relationships both romantic and familial, to listening to TCM's first season of The Plot Thickens about Peter Bogdanovich's career, to being enamored of Tatum O'Neal watching her hilariously damaged Maggie on Rescue Me which prompted me to read interviews about her, which would no doubt include her complicated relationship with her father, the latest being posted on THR just mere months ago, to seeing the cinematic masterpiece Paper Moon earlier this year. He's stayed relevant in my eyes as I, as a mere viewer, jumped around his crazy, exuberant, tortured life on-screen and off. RIP to a truly controversial, but fascinating figure. And yeah, the curious part of me awaits (respectfully and patiently) what Tatum will have to say.

The recap I read didn't make it clear. Were Jada and Everett actually married or just engaged?

I'd never noticed before how much Claire Cooper reminds me of Anne Heche. A very similar face card and talent oozing out of their every pore. What a dream come true to see her again. But leaving her story on a cliffhanger (presumably), I don't think I like that.

Random, but Bo and Hope make sense in Boston. Jack and Jennifer absolutely do not.

Oscar nominee Marisa Pavan, passes away aged 91! The last of the 1956 Oscar actor nominees to pass away, making 1957 the earliest consecutive year an actor nominee is still living per year.

Can someone link or post the Robert Hooks post about her?

We don't talk about that. How could Sheri Anderson (et al) get it so horribly wrong?

And only roughly 30% of them voted. Who are those other 70%?

That's because they just planned on doing a quick recast, but the strike postponed it.

Shane is supposed to be even richer than Stefano. Theresa's whole characterization has always been ass.

My guess is because when Nicole gets her baby back she's going to change the name so they didn't want to waste a name for temporary use.

Anyone know J. Eddie Peck's first airdate as Cole? I'm seeing April 2, but different places say 1992 and 1993.

Abby being in the center of the Winters picture is so tone dead. Not surprising with this show.

I'm not into superhero films, but Nicholas Hoult can do no wrong. One of the best of his generation.

Ya'll know Ron Carlivati is on the phone to him as we speak.

Friday's episode.

I never really cared for Dom. It was nice for him to get a happy ending in 2013 after his awful 2010 exit, and I'm happy to leave the character there.

She's always a welcome presence in my book. How Liberty and Damon ended was so unrewarding.

Lauren Koslow is now on recurring, according to @JAS0N47. She was consecutively on contract the longest. Josh Taylor, having been continuously on contract since 2004, takes that distinction, which makes it even sadder. It'll be interesting to see if this changes when Albert Alarr is officially gone.
