Thanks @victoria foxton

So Trump got what he wanted - delaying and blurring the lines. I wonder if this judge was right wing.

Thanks @victoria foxton

Thanks @Forever8 On a better show Sandie would be back for the anniversary.

@BoldRestless uploaded a '70s documentary clip with a number of LOL clips I had never seen before, including one with Bert Convy and the wonderful Jessica Walter. There are also some ATWT, Search for Tomorrow and GL clips. I wonder how many of these episodes are still around anywhere now (I know one or two are). You also get some "before they were stars" clips of Roy Scheider, Bonnie Bedelia, Hal Holbrook, etc. What a treat to see soaps being treated with dignity and respect, which was so rare even at the time. @vetsoapfan @Vee @slick jones @Paul Raven @dc11786 @Soapsuds @victoria foxton@antmunoz@DramatistDreamer @Joseph

The talking points truly are out among the media to rig a GOP landslide. All I can hope is most people don't get their news from these dinosaurs anymore: Sidner comes across as very defensive in her many replies.

I probably should have added more of a warning - apologies for that. Tiffany has now hired the lawyer who recently worked for Prince Andrew and Armie Hammer...

This is from several years back - very prescient.

The Beltway is going to push the student loan relief along with Biden's speech as much as they can to remind us that the GOP is on the comeback and so on. Toady pollsters like this one are a key part of that process.

@Vee These are wonderful insights, and remind me of so much I've forgotten (like Cathy's backstory). I was never that interested in the Greg/Abby relationship so your thoughts on them give me a very new perspective.

A good interview where Shirley talks a lot about career regrets, the Rat Pack, metaphysical, while Bobbie Wygant shares her worst interviews.

A January 1979 soap magazine mentions ABC creating a new soap written by Ann Marcus, following the Y&R formula as dealing with the problems of the young, with "lots of restlessness going on in this California beach town."

@slick jones I was looking through some old scans of a 1979 magazine I used to have and found this quote from Demond Wilson (listed in your other thread as having a part on The Doctors) about a role on Best of Everything: "It was a character people didn't like - I always played seedy characters on serials, like one who sold drugs in Fanny Farmer boxes. People flipped out. Old ladies screamed at me on the bus. Soap opera fans really get caught up in these things. Even my mother. If my show was up against As the World Turns, I'd be in trouble!"

I don't know if Jeanne Cooper wrote about this in her book (haven't read it) but I was reading an old interview with Beau Kayzer and they said that the show wanted Corbin Bernsen to play Brock, but he couldn't sing or play guitar. They also said Corbin was relieved as he saw himself as a playwright, not an actor.

This tweet goes on and on...I guess at least these inane views are getting more open scorn than they were a few years ago, but I can't believe this is "the paper of record."

The talking points about the military, the lighting, this is divisive, and all the rest. I've given up knowing whether people will fall for it or not. I just hope the media falls further and further into irrelevance.

CNN coordinating their talking points to help their masters:

Rick Scott is a selfish man who has repeatedly shown he will never put anything above his own career and bank account. He may be defrauding their coffers right now. I wonder why he was chosen for this gig. @Vee Blake Masters has already done this but apparently even more zealots are trying to scrub and hoping no one will notice. I know the media won't care so I'm glad the various Democratic arms are spotlighting this shift: https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2022/08/30/republicans-abortion-trump-online/

More Beltway figures justifying the delusions and voter suppression of the right.
