Natasha Richardson was the first name to come to mind. How sad. 

Hit me in the head with a spoon and I'm going to the ER.  

I'm heartbroken for him

Daaaaaaayuuuuummmmmm!  Y'all didn't say he looks like that!

The best temp recast in the business! 

I know ABC has a vax mandate, and lots of triple-jabbed people have gotten breakthrough cases this winter --but now I'm wondering if lack of a booster shot is the big unspoken in this particular story.

Absolutely.  Unfortunately, KM is back on set already

Count me in as someone who wouldn't mind seeing this story for Alexis.  I could definitely see it working more organically than it is with Craig on Days.  A lot of Alexis's choices in romance and life could be motivated by the fact she never felt like herself.  I am not sure how the audience would react, but I wouldn't mind it.  It would be a good story for NLG.  

This only works for me if Harmony weren't a sex offender who screwed over Alexis' girls.

Of course!  I saw this coming with the kangaroo trial!

You are right.   I was generally curious to hear other peoples points of views.  I wasn't trying to be disrespectful.  I thought the teens were just being dumb and didn't think about the entire view of the situation.

I never once thought you were being disrespectful

Do you really think it's an optic and tonal issue? I am not trying to be combative or rude but just want more clarity on it from your view.   I just think its drunk kids being stupid and like our friend is sleeping in the other room and okay.  I don't expect them to sit by her bedside or anything.

A black woman goes on a sleep over with about 5 or 6 white "friends".  At the end of the night, she's dead, no one knows what happened and the case is closed.  

A black man from PA goes on a cabin trip with 4 co workers and he's dead on the front lawn from 9 bullets the next morning.  No investigation.

The optics with this cabin mess are alarmingly bad!  

However, folks are not realizing the purpose of having Trina drugged.  It's a legit reason to remove her from the story with the other 4.  She is not important enough to be in the meaty scenes.  She is THAT irrelevant to her own future pairing and story.  Joss is supposed to be the center teen but Trina is outshining her.  Frank is rerouting viewers back to Joss by having Joss go to bat for Trina and now being taped while having sex.  There are no words to properly describe my complete disgust.   Spencer leaving with his tail between his legs after realizing someone may need to check on Trina?  Next level TRASH!!!!!!!!!!!!   If I were a Sprina fan (never was), I wouldn't be after that.  

Then you have Joss' first time happen the same time her friend who's not feeling well is passed out in another room where no one checks on her?  TIIC were going for Sonny/Ava screwing in a crypt type of vile with this one.

Rafa's win was so moving and momentous. I really admire him as a person as well as a tennis player. He has always seemed more grounded compared with some other players on the tour.

I felt bad for Med's disillusionment with the crowd, though, and how he feels that he is just playing tennis for his family and not so much for the tennis-playing public.

Yeah, Med's disillusionment was with the crowd and the loss.   You don't have to love the spectators but don't make them an enemy.  And let's not forget, this is the same guy defaulted from a match because he says the Chair and opponent are in collusion because they were both black.  If he wants to be a jackass, he should be treated as such.  Humble Pie is the worst!  

This is madness!  I loved this man.  Can you imagine anyone playing Johnny Fever?  

RIP

Off to find WKRP reruns

I've been up since 2:30 this morning and I wouldn't ask for a minute of it back!  Wonderful comeback!  Exhilarating match!  The sleep deprivation was worth AO22!

Congrats Rafa

I don't think so. At least that's not what is being described here. It seems as though Asderaki blew the whistle via signaling to the umpire. She's Greek, and no doubt, understands what Stefano's father is saying.

Yeah, I just saw another tweet explaining what she was doing.  It's shameful that its come to this.  Hiding in tunnels now?

Is Eva coaching Tits from the tunnel?  What is happening here?!

Did y'all see Medvedev going off on the umpire because he wouldn't put a stop to Tits' dad coaching?  Intense!  Should have been at least a point penalty, if not a game.

Even Lucky glad i missed that.  

The one with Lucky is a bit tricky.  In that "fantasy", it was supposed to be the pills he fantasized about but it just came off very incestuous.

I forgot Spinelli had a thing for her.  That was during her mini-Carly period though.  Carly also had multiple men fighting over her and an entire group of guys at Jakes fantasized about her including her own cousin Lucky.    That was a dark time..

 I remember that.  LW is my girl crush but that was really weird.

Lol.  Her and Maxie had a slew of forgettable leading men at the time.  I get they were young ingenues but every single one of those love interests (outside Johnny) were interchangeable.  Weren't they at one point fighting over (not gay yet) Lucas?  Or was that Maxie and Georgie and really creepy?

Even with Dante, there was a time period where all Lulu did was talk about Dante and seemed to have no life of her own, but to be fair I think that was the time period on the show EVERYONE talked about Dante all the time.  That only stopped when VM came back and every single character had to talk about Brenda for entire episodes.  Poor DZ, Dante is with Sam now.  He gets all the cold fish or women that were in love with his dad.  It's weird to say the show wastes Dante when 10 years ago you couldn't go a day without Dante or hearing about Dante.  That really has nothing to do with JMB/Lulu, but it got me thinking about how much I liked Dante back in the day.  Probably the last great hire GH had.

At one point (CarJax's wedding in particular), there were 3 guys fighting over Lulu: Spinelli, Dylan and Milo.  It was really weird.

Nice for the home crowd with an all-Australian Men's Double Final: Kokkinakis/Kyrgios vs Ebden/Purcell    

That's pretty spectacular.  The crowd should have a great time with this one!  I may have to watch and I don't normally watch doubles matches.

I can't even tell you what JMB's Lulu was meant to be. I just remember her being very cold and hard. The last time Lulu was worth watching was when she was a mute child. 

THANK YOU!  I loathed Lulu under her.

Guza had a lot of good material to feed off of.  He was given good Luke/Laura and handed Sonny/Brenda/Jax on a plate plus Robin/Jason and Ned/Lois. 

JMB was heavily pushed on men I think.  They pushed her very hard in the romance department until she clicked with Dante.

But are soaps really hitting it hard with the teen demo?  I am in my 30's and no one I know goes near soaps lol.  I dont think 18 year olds are lining up for this anymore.

It took a minute a quite a few fellas to find a match for that cold fish!

Look at Miss Collins using her power for good

Felix was up 2 sets and had a match point? Damn.  Out of Shapo and Felix, I think Felix will be the better player.   You can tell from their post match press conferences that he’s already a lot more mature than Shapo.  I think that will help him more quickly.  

Yes and I meant to respond to your earlier post.  Shapo has some maturing to do and I'm wondering why the match was not defaulted after his  comment.  Very juvenile thing to say. 

Regardless of how Sonny may have grown, and the jury is still out on that, to avoid Sonny ever being held accountable, let's break out a manic episode.  This easily could have been Sonny having an affair but instead of having him accountable, Michael and Carly will feel bad for holding him to the POS that he is.  I guess because I wasn't fully invested in the show when Sonny came on so I don't see the growth.  He doesn't get young women hooked on drugs, ok...but he finds ways to be trash.  

If we weren't supposed to be laughing at those Sonny scenes yesterday, my apologies.  I was in tears rewinding like crazy.  

In 2022, "Who Gets Sonny" is still a thing.  That is disturbing.  

Nina's rite of passage has begun.  Rescue Sonny, pull him back together and he will love you forever or until the next manic episode.  GARBAGE! 

I was loving this breakup and the impending affair but look at what we get instead.  I slipped up and let my expectations creep up.  Huge mistake!  

Felix is just too much of a chicken chit to get across that finish line.
