DRW50

@dc11786 @danfling @victoria foxton @Paul Raven @slick jones A former property master and occasional actor on the show uploaded this - one of the later episodes of the show, it seems. Nice to see more of The Catlins, but beyond the hotel room scenes, which are competent if unremarkable, so much of the rest is just awful, especially the garage scenes.

Miss Madison, a loser through and through, likely too brain dead to even be able to cash in. The only thing that bothers me is that it was homophobia which helped cinch his loss - telling the GOP they will be rewarded if they simply ramp those attacks up further. Best of luck flashing your abs with Aaron Schock at Coachella, you Nazi-fried potato.

I agree. The covers and photo shoots for SPW were terrific through a lot of the '90s, especially the first half. I sometimes wonder how much Torchin may have just been burnt out by that point. I still remember how many weeks in her last years writing editorials for SPW she seemed more interested talking about English Patient or primetime shows rather than daytime.

This is such a demoralizing read.

I forgot you told us she was in that. I remember her main HBO stint being The Hitchhiker. One of the most hilarious episodes ever.

I always assume Marilyn has father issues. I do agree they need to do more with her but I think it's difficult at this point because she is so established and yet has no real family on the show, beyond her bonds with the Stewarts and Irene. I have liked Mac but the poker/debt story has felt endless and mostly just has her looking like a fool. I'm going to miss Ryder. You can tell the show is too - he got a lovely sendoff.

I imagine this is a callout of her frog-faced replacement, Elise Stefanik. Sadly, that footstool has been amply rewarded for embracing fascism and white supremacy. I just hope the cult turns against her soon, and she can spend her time seat-filling on Faux News.

Not a great idea for Kyle to give everyone a big closeup of some of her questionable facework while Gizelle and Kenya are both right behind her, glowing. Andy looks more than ever like he's in a never-ending bender.

I think her best episode is

Some MPs are saying that fans who booed should be punished with "all necessary action," apparently. Pathetic.

The first few seasons have many strong moments and are much more heartfelt than what you will get later on. I will say a lot depends on how much you can take of Larry Hagman/JR - I was not a huge fan, which is why I've never been as into the show.

It really isn't a flattering picture, more because of the facial expression, but what do you expect from toilet paper like SOD of recent decades.

Not sure if any of you are fans, but Natasha Lyonne is hosting the season finale. There is as always speculation about whether some of the current cast will finally start to leave, but we'll see...

At least with Kristen that was on a "special" DAYS program. The swapping on the main show is more confusing. I guess Missy is semi-retired now and just comes in when she wants to, or if it won't have to be for long?

It doesn't make any sense to me either. If anyone doesn't know, you can find the first two seasons, with some extras, on DVD.

I didn't watch much but I liked him and I preferred this version of the Luke/Sammy Jo story. I'm sorry it never got a resolution.

Did they ever explain why they wrote Steven out and never brought him back?

ATWT: "The truth about Aaron." Up to the dynamic Christmas 1992 climax, and Heather Rattray's exit as Lily, the story was intricately plotted, allowing you to feel very complex emotions for everyone involved in the story, and in spite of going on for two years, it never dragged.

In the long term I think they may have been wiser to have Abby cheat with Kenny, rather than Richard. It would have provided more story for Kenny and Ginger, still angered Karen, and Richard and Laura were in a terrible marital place anyway. I do think, beyond how gorgeous he was, there wasn't a lot Kenny offered to the show. Ginger I think had real potential, especially as she was very ethereal (which, as you say, was also true of Valene, especially in the earlier seasons). I wish we had been able to see her as a single woman.
