  1. He co-wrote the oft-mentioned All Her Children.
  2. Dan Wakefield Dead: Creator Of Controversial 'James At 15' Was 91 (deadline.com)
  3. I don't even know if it aired before being canned.
  4. I was so surprised when I learned she and Crystal were sisters, but I shouldn't have been, as they are very similar. I haven't seen Crystal in anything in years. I hope she's doing well. Terry seems to be one of those characters who was forgotten almost immediately after leaving, which is a shame. I don't even know if she was ever mentioned again. I remember hearing about how terrible the Laurelton story was - this was, back around the late '90s (more innocent times for GH I suppose), considered one of the show's all-time worst, beyond Lucy's introduction. In spite of this, Bernard did stay around for a good while, which I attribute to how likeable and spirited she seemed to be in what I've seen of her run. After Jackie Zeman passed away, I was hoping they might bring back or at least mention Terry Brock, as she was there through some of the most formative years of what Bobbie became - she was even part of the ceremony when Bobbie married Tony. I wasn't expecting to be reading this about Robyn not even a year later. I also had no idea she was in Diva or Betty Blue.
  5. RIP Michael Culver. Not surprised they got his Emmerdale stint wrong, but I am pleasantly surprised they mentioned it at all. Michael Culver obituary | Stage | The Guardian Wallace | Emmerdale Wiki | Fandom
  6. I don't want to clog up the thread but the same channel put up a number of other 1984 videos just now.
  7. It seems to have gotten a flat result, if polling is ever accurate, although that's common with SOTU. The flap over the "illegal" comment seemed to distract a lot of people who should have known better.
  8. The damage was already done, if the polling is accurate (which I hope it isn't). They knew what they were doing.
  9. Yes.
  10. The last time I heard of Carmen was for his Trump support, which tends to make me wonder if he would even want some of us to remember him, but in spite of that, I did love a lot of his '70s and '80s work - a very rich pop. This is my favorite:
  11. Imagine going into a coma in 1999, waking up terrified of the new world, asking if GH is still airing, and saying, "At least I won't have to see Carly obsessing over Jason anymore." And then you turn the episode on...
  12. I thought he was already dead. Rest in peace. Malachy was a very charismatic, rich actor. I have to admit I hated his character on Ryan's Hope, as he was so often just wheeled out to bash Delia, but that wasn't Malachy's doing.
  13. Thank you @slick jones. To be honest I thought he already died. A wonderful actor.
  14. Seeing this interview (and some of the comments below the interview) with Dolores Fuller, the woman SJP played in Ed Wood, reminds me again of how generally unpleasant SJP comes across as being, in spite of the idea that sometimes goes around about Kim just being a bitch.
  15. They aired. I think almost all if not fully all of the first six and a half years aired on Soapnet.
  16. I do think St. Elsewhere was a soap, even if the people who made it probably wouldn't have agreed. There does get to a point around season 5 where the show just gets so overly cynical, flip, and extremely bitter that it's almost unwatchable, but Fontana and Masius ended up leaving and the final season, with new producers, is more of a return to the show's early years in being more sedate (if a little dull). The first season of the show is my favorite as the whole show has a more contemplative atmosphere and the hospital is allowed to look much more rundown, but the shift to a more soap-oriented format is probably what stopped it from being canceled.
  17. I don't think it's going to ruin her career, but this type of criticism does seem to rattle her (as shown by all her regret over Aloha).
  18. I didn't think his last special was that great, but I still enjoy Mulaney. He also hosted the "these are all the old and boring people we don't care about anymore" Oscars ceremony a month or two ago and was very good. He is sarcastic but also clearly loves film, unlike the jiggly trampoline guy.
  19. I heard so many complaints about Killers of the Flower Moon, especially with the script, and they just seemed to chip away at the wider view of the film. Lily is a good actress, but beyond the whole controversy over the category, most of the final debate over the movie or her award seemed to be: - if you don't support Lily Gladstone you're a racist - be nice to Grandpa Scorsese who is so cute on tiktok Neither of those do much to sway Oscar voters. The first one in particular causes a lot of spite. (Scorsese these days seems to be more of a brand for himself than for people actually enjoying his films) I feel bad for Emma Stone as I don't think she wanted to win because of the optics, similar to Cate Blanchett last year. And I do wonder if these fears are going to cause more and more people to move away from the Oscars, because you don't get any real career boost but you do get a lot of years-long, dedicated hate from losers who cosplay as activists rather than actually bringing about any real change in the world (most of them are probably hoping Trump wins for "the revolution" or because "he's funny"). These same people will likely spit on Lily Gladstone in a month as she will be wearing the wrong brand, work with the wrong actor, use the wrong word, or go to the wrong store. I didn't bother to watch this year, and after seeing a few clips of Jimmy Kimmel's usual condescending, anti-film monologue and the shambles of the Memoriam segment, I'm not sorry. They didn't even include Treat Williams, who was in a ton of films, or Suzanne Somers, who first became known through an iconic film clip. No clips, no nominations. I saw a tweet saying the Oscars had finally managed to get rid of all "the old." If that was the point, I hope they're proud. I did watch the I'm Just Ken clip. Ryan Gosling has always seemed ambivalent about the whole thing, but at heart he's a showman, and I'm glad he embraced that. A genuinely very fun performance. It was also so nice to see Scott Evans at the Oscars. Fish's revenge.
  20. About 6 years ago I found an episode of this show on Youtube and posted the link here. I wasn't sure if it was still up or not. It doesn't seem to be. I stumbled upon a copy of mine tonight and decided to reupload. If anyone knows more info on the date or year of this episode, or much info at all, I'd appreciate it.
  21. Pay special attention to Barbara's last comments.
  22. Thanks @dc11786
