We hadn't seen him in 20 years. I'd guess they based it on this: https://www.vice.com/en/article/epxbpj/kate-wilson-mark-kennedy-undercover-cop-sex-with-activists

Florida taxpayers, I imagine. These people are so disgusting. They are on Twitter openly bragging about how much they love being involved with human trafficking. They should be deported themselves.

Heartbreaking. @Forever8 You may want to put this in the Where Are They Now? thread too for more attention.

Utterly pathetic.

It's not really that bad, although it depends on what the ending will be.

More clowns to fill the clown car.

Likely not. IMDB is not accurate, and of course there are many episodes that have no entries as they are unavailable.

I just saw this now. Thanks for posting. I guess there's even more of an impact as she and Leon were a couple at the time. Very moving.

Richard was very sleek at that time. Bernthal is very rough.

Streisand looks stunning there. I saw in the comments that her asking the Queen why she wore gloves caused a scandal. How silly. Lee Remick also looks wonderful. One of the most naturally beautiful women ever in film.

Lindsey Graham is now trying to push through an abortion ban, framed as "late term trying to stop fetal pain" or whatever the hell the jargon is. The media is already helping him whitewash. I wonder how the GOP feels about this being such news overshadowing their latest tantruming over inflation.

Jon Bernthal seems like odd casting to me.

I thought Paige was interesting, in that brittle way, but I was never interested in her love life, which took up a lot of time. Her relationship with Anne was her most compelling role, and maybe her corporate moments.

There was never really any real point of interest for Eric or Michael on that front. I think where Eric works best is as the soul of the family. Steve Shaw had a very powerful presence in that respect. The family is never really the same for me after he's written out - they just get colder and aside from some scattered moments between Mack and Karen I no longer feel any connection to them. But the whole show becomes colder as the '80s wind down and the POV shifts to the eyes of characters like Paige and Greg.

Bevan, another smarmy figure who gets a Beltway pass, is also trying to revive the media attacks against Mark Udall, this time toward John Fetterman, because of Fetterman campaigning on abortion rights. I wouldn't be surprised if the same media who worked overtime to sink Udall click their heels over this again, as they have been trying their best to help Oz. I don't really know if it would be as effective due to Roe falling. Nate Cohn has written up a lengthy series of tweets (and a paywalled article) about how the polls this year that are positive for Democrats are a mirage and that they will likely do poorly. I also don't trust polls, and I think Republicans will probably narrowly win the Senate if things keep tilting the way they have lately, but I have a feeling he, and the NYT, would be giddy if the polls were reversed. You can usually sense his unease if the GOP isn't in command.

I don't know if I can see her as Emily but she would have been better than what we got. My main complaints about Olivia were less Harold (although beyond looking good shirtless he didn't offer much) and more that they made the mistake of just having her there to be a brattier Saffron to Abby's Edwina in those last few years. By the time Abby left, it meant Olivia was completely isolated and limited as a character.

I'm not sure if Diana was ever popular with viewers. I tend to see her as an irritant even before Chip, similar to her vapid CBS cousin Vicky on Falcon Crest a few years later. Knots never knew how to write for the kids of the main characters (the waste/misuse of Olivia in her last years is still disheartening) as they reached a certain age anyway.

In an April 1976 magazine profile, it was mentioned that Jeff Pomerantz had to decline a short-term role on GL due to theater commitments.

Sure enough wagons are already circling in the replies, blaming anti-Semitism. New York politicians are too scared to address these issues because they see Hasidic Jews as a key voting bloc. I remember a lot of talk about all the enabling from Bill de Blasio. I'm not sure how much stock I put in this as the polls are already inching back their way and the media is constantly working for a landslide, but it's still interesting to see the desperate spin (especially after a year or more of the smart set insisting all Republicans needed to run on was gas prices and inflation):

Probably executive pockets. Dallas always looked oddly cheap. Lotus Point is the high point of Knots for me. When it's gone I mourn it more than I mourned a number of actual characters.
