If you can't access Twitter let me know and I'll post the photos.

So much talent on Good Times, even in the flimsiest of roles.

I know she'd kill it as a Heart and Home host.

I've never gotten much out of what I've seen from O'Fee, but I am still curious for her take on Charlotte. I wonder if Long didn't try to do very much with Rebecca Hollen because she didn't create Trish, or if this was just a Kobe issue. Either way, a real waste. And after Trish is gone Vanessa has to end up filling some of those roles for the Lewis family (even when she and Billy are split), which drains some of the life of the character.

A recent Archive post with various radio soaps (not sure how many are on Youtube).

Thanks. Another episode I've love to see.

I'm never sure how many radio episodes of Guiding Light are around. I see that the Library of Congress has a number of 1942-1946 episodes we can't listen to, and a number of early-mid '50s episodes are on Youtube, as is July 15, 1940. This collection of radio soaps has an episode from June 10, 1940. I can't remember if this one had already been around or not.

A very short-lived "teen drama" I'd never heard of called Palmetto Pointe, filmed on location in Charleston. Per Wiki this ran for 5 episodes, 2 unaired after that, and the project ended in bankruptcy and the cast and crew not being paid (clearly Prospect Park did not learn the perils of this PP alliteration). John Wesley Shipp guest starred. Amanda Baker also appeared, before her work on Night Shift and AMC.

https://www.npr.org/2024/08/29/g-s1-20187/trump-abortion-amendment-4-florida-ivf-funding-reproductive-rights He's lying that the amendment will allow for abortion at nine months, which of course people are backing up as true even when it's just more bullshit.

Yet the AP still won't even admit this man is a Trump supporter.

That's great. Brings back memories of some of the old days here.

I don't think anything of Kit or Charlotte is available to us, so I hope this appears someday.

It makes me wonder what their thought processes were as other shows around the time that had begun to have increasingly dark stories (like Picket Fences) were also fading fast. Bea was such an underrated character and Elizabeth Hoffman was an underrated actress. I remember seeing her a year or two later in one of those volcano movies Hollywood was pushing around the same time (they all flopped) and just couldn't believe she was playing another character...to me she was still Beatrice. One of the reasons the first few seasons were special to me were the flashbacks. They helped to flesh out the bonds between the sisters. I know that type of device can be very cheesy, but it worked. The young Georgie was especially good. I later learned she played Willow in the pilot for Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Not sure if she did anything after that.

The British soaps used to be better at handling politics - they were able to talk about Thatcher, and policies affecting where they lived. That is long gone. I remember EastEnders having an excruciating and vague both sides take on Brexit.

The media knows that if they keep throwing all these little knives out - claims of Harris lying, all the tut-tutting over her not answering the "first day" question clearly enough, claims that Harris has something to hide about her race - it will create a narrative for voters who don't pay a lot of attention. The same with all the smears about Tim Walz. It's loathsome and shows how they have fully given the game away. Yet given how close the race is and how much Trump's support is undercounted, they clearly see an opening to push him over. I've never trusted the media, but even then, I'm agog at how they encourage and enable Trump's blithe promises of mass deportations or free IVF for everyone. I still read Weigel's tweets in spite of better judgment as he covers a lot of stuff and sometimes I agree with his takes, but his encouraging the homophobic pile-on of Pete Buttigieg never leaves my mind.

She was in the first season (by far the best as it was pre Iyanla). She did return a number of times for visits after that. Here's one at about 5 minutes.

I don't think anyone here these days still watches Big Brother, but they just had an evicted player (a guy named Tucker) who helped bring them the best ratings they'd had in a few years. He was evicted pre-jury and the show is still going on for another month. Usually BB players that CBS liked will have a cameo on B&B or Y&R, but it wouldn't be a bad idea if they had him (possibly with another well-liked player evicted a few weeks earlier named Cedric) help promote The Gates.

I just realized thanks to @slick jones and their invaluable threads that that Heart and Home woman is Andy Paige. I first saw her on Starting Over 20 years ago and she seemed so much more natural - her story arc on Starting Over was one of my favorite parts of the show. She doesn't even look like the same person. I don't really know what her life has been in recent years. but I hope she is well.

I often wonder just how many audio recordings were made and just rotted away, or taped over. There's a good chance every soap had fans recording it for years.

Thank you! I am so glad that David Gale fan account has been sharing so many rarities and treasures. @dc11786 @slick jones @FrenchFan @Brent @Vee @danfling @SFK @soapfan770 @Contessa Donatella @Soapsuds @Khan @te. @skylark @Paul Raven @vetsoapfan @robbwolff @All My Shadows @soapfave06 @Soaplovers @Matt @will81 @TVFAN1144 @jam6242 Looks like they start with this episode.

I agree at this point he will hurt Trump more. It's just something I keep seeing his cultists saying on Twitter - they keep begging Trumpsters in California to vote for RFK.

I think the plan was to get him off swing state ballots and have him stay on in blue or red states. Some of his cultists were hoping to get some Trump supporters in those states to support him and take electoral votes from Harris. It's very kind of her to tell queer people they aren't going to be losing anything. @Vee Thanks for all of your articles and videos. I have to admit I don't love the video of JaunDiced being booed because it will probably make a lot of the press and the true believers praise him as noble and going into enemy territory, wah wah wah, but it's still funny to watch. Nate Silver is still giving Trump the edge, because of PA polling and Harris not getting a convention bounce (which doesn't even exist in recent years). I do think it's going to be very tight, and Trump has the media and rigged election boards on his side, but you can see just how desperate he is based on these types of stunts. And of course the "pro life" movement is mostly staying quiet, and all the media figures who excoriate Harris for flip flopping are eating this BS from him up. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/donald-trump/trump-says-wants-make-ivf-treatments-paid-government-insurance-compani-rcna168804

After seeing him in the role, Chris ended up being my favorite of the Joeys - he was good at the sarcasm but also the heartfelt moments. I don't think the character ever clicks after that (almost all of the material for Nathan's Joey sucks once his initial story with Dorian is over, and the show never invested in the last three Joeys).

I hadn't even thought about that. So many morbid moments on AW by that point.

I liked Simon a lot too. I think that was one of my disappointments. Falconer was OK, but just didn't capture my interest. I have a soft spot for the first few seasons as they had so much heart, but the show still managed to have strong moments up to the Georgie story. I remember the episode where Georgie was going to commit suicide while she was home alone. The story with Trevor becoming so angry and violent was extremely tough to watch but was at least natural family drama. The therapist story was not. I liked the first Charlie, but I don't think they needed to make her a long lost sister. That always felt a little cheap to me.
