Reading AWHP I was reminded that in the '60s there was a restaurant called Top of the Tower. Was there ever any indication that TOPS was meant to be a continuation of that restaurant?

https://rollcall.com/2024/03/18/biden-team-eyes-expanding-map-to-texas-florida-despite-trump-leads/ There have been some hit pieces lately, one going on about Biden seeing Obama as his rival and gloating about being better than him, another about Biden yelling at aides in January because he was told polling showed that he had lost support in Michigan and Georgia due to Gaza. I have a hard time believing he lost support in Georgia due to Gaza, but if they are considering throwing money at Texas or Florida (especially Florida, which feels like a true lost cause these days), it does make me wonder if there's any truth to how tough some of the state polling has been. He's been doing a little better lately in national polling, but I hope the state numbers will improve.

Morgan Englund is currently on Alan's show. He looks pretty good for being over 60. I would love that, especially after how bad I've heard Amelia's material on Passions was. She and Petronia are both so underrated and classy.

Thanks for pointing that out. I didn't notice.

It's too bad they didn't do more with Liz buying into Nicole's fashion business. (I suppose the strike writers came up with that - unless it was Lemay).

A 20-minute montage going through the first Neighbours run.

It's mostly scapegoating. The show has been bad for a long time down to ITV refusing to let anyone make real changes or cut down the episode order.

So many on the left, from dead enders like Brie Brie to the "look at how impartial and truth-telling I am," branch, jump all over moments like these for some in the media daring to talk about the latest violent, incoherent ranting from Trump. I've seen some Trump supporters claiming this is proof that many on the left believe Trump will win and are now operating as if he has won. Sad to say I think they are probably right. (that and many on the left just really like Trump, mortal enemy of the "brunch-eating libs" they see as their mortal enemies, and always have)

They do have the same producer, but you're right, Amazon is new.

No problem. I'm always glad if I find anything that helps add to your detailed lists.

I think that's meant to be Janet Grey (Eve).

It's similar on Neighbours. If anything, Neighbours has become tamer, a few scenes aside.

A very fun Cecile and Donna scene in this. Carl and Donna too. Anna Stuart really was divine to watch when not weighed down by Michael and sanctimonious writing. David Oliver was so lovely. 1983 through parts of 1984 was a good revival period for the show. I'm sorry it all went aground again.

Thanks so much @slick jones . I'd say Harry Packwood is a porn star name many would envy.

Thanks for the extra details on the clips. I've read much more about the show than I've ever seen so this helps whenever I do go through them.

Three chunks of Rituals clips were uploaded onto Youtube. Not in English, but it's so hard to find material for this show I thought you would still be interested. The third also has a credits list if that helps with any gaps anyone has. @Paul Raven @dc11786 @slick jones @j swift @NadineC @robbwolff @Chris 2 @soapfan770 @Vee @vetsoapfan @Medfencer @1974mdp

I think that's My Guiding Light. I have a lot of sentimental memories of Hold On to Love, but I think the first set of opening visuals and song to My Guiding Light is the best GL gets. If only the show had lived up to that theme...

I love that at the start Fran mentions all the Streisand content on The Nanny. (Barbra says she'd heard about that but never watched as she didn't want to seem like an egotist - she then asked about seeing some of the material)

Did they say who Hannah worked with?

Not sure if these episodes were already available, but the main EON upload channel put them up yesterday:

This clip with Liza having to fend off Nick was on Youtube many years ago. I reuploaded it and the clip was taken down again, due to the context of the scene maybe. I found it on a disc and reuploaded to Vimeo. I set it to mature on there so if you aren't able to see it let me know. Liza clip (1979) (vimeo.com) This scene, which Youtube has still kept up, was not long after, presumably.

Thanks so much for finding that @Dion . Interesting Sam is doing that with her instead of the guy who plays Chris. Boyd was one of my favorite characters before he left. I'm glad he's back briefly.
