I see that Paul Begala, still dining out on 1992, was also on CNN heavily trashing the student loan plan. The Beltway really has all hands on deck trying to make this a poisonous policy. Shameful.

6. Until the cast and crew strain got to them they even tried to expand to 7.

It's hard to tell you as organizing is so scattershot. This playlist has an episode from the '50s and one from the '70s and '80s. There are some episodes here, the few I saw being from the '80s. https://www.youtube.com/user/RandomRadioJottings/videos Reading this reminded me that the BBC did not start archiving The Archers until 1994, which would shock me if I had not already heard about the terrible practices of the UK outlets (like Crossroads episodes being junked well into the '90s). https://missingepisodes.proboards.com/thread/3103/missing-archers-episodes As shown in the link, some vintage episodes were put out on sale...not sure if they are around to buy or find now.

More embarrassing cowering from McConnell and his loathsome flacks (one of the others, Matt Whitlock, is still pushing the "vegetable" attack against John Fetterman). He was foolish to go out there and trash these candidates in the first place. Now he just looks spineless.

I've tried to look a few times and there were just a handful I could find from that far back. I hope more are out there...

The "liberal" media is more interested in this clown car than in any attempt at reality. Between this and clips out there of Dana Bash looking even more terrified than usual as Chris Sununu smarms out talking points, it's no wonder I keep seeing far right voters praising the new CNN. I hope people have finally woken up about just how wretched this channel is.

That's a lot.

Really enjoying these writeups, @Vee whatever the length. I had forgotten Karen's pill story was this season rather than next season. Definitely some of Michelle Lee's best work. The interweaving of stories here with the combination of personal and psychological traumas and corporate power is a gambit that the show had to take, and one that fortunately continues to pay off for a number of years. I do wish we'd gotten more with Millie Perkins, who has a lot of potential and plays a woman a world away from the ladies of Seaview. As I'm sure you know we get a little more several seasons down the line, but, again, not enough. Sumner had so much story packed into the remainder of the show's life, but it was processed in a way that tended to limit breathing. I think you hit on what dooms Laura in their relationship - Devane and McCashin have wonderful chemistry and there are many wonderful scenes between them, but because so much is always going on with Greg, she just ends up being one part of his life, with her own point of view less and less important. This is also where the show, or Donna Mills, draws the line between Abby the bad girl and the genuine antagonists on the show, which probably needed to be drawn more than I realized until your recaps. This is pretty much the high point of interesting material between Greg and Mack.

@jam6242 So sad to hear about Robert. I know he did many things but he'll always be Leo Flynn to me. This has been a tough year for P&G alum.

Ashvin Luximon, who played Martin's mate Asif in the early '00s, has passed away. https://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/eastenders/a41006795/eastenders-ashvin-luximon-dies-aged-38/ I always liked Asif. So many EE alum have passed this year.

This is well put. It's the 'strong father' issue. So much has happened since then I almost forget just how desperate the media was to get Romney and Paul Ryan (who each represented many of their ideals and desires) in the White House, with fever pitch after the first debate. The polls they define themselves by were also so warped that year. They truly did believe they could will Romney into winning, which is why you still have this group saying "the turning point was when liberals said mean things about Romney!!!" Anyway, one of Peter Thiel's stable boys seems to be flailing and flailing. I only wish the other could too.

I always liked Robert Davi, but haven't followed his career in many years, which is probably for the best. Also saddened to see John James (admittedly I was never a huge fan, beyond thinking he's hot on Dynasty...) in this type of trash, as much because of the subject matter as because it stars Gina "I was on The Mandalorian and all I got was this Ben Shapiro coffee mug" Carano and Billie Piper's ex, a horrid man whose only positive trait is between his legs (and even that probably isn't true at his current age). I'm sure Jesse Armstrong will be pleased that Davi is such a big Succession fan though!

Thanks @victoria foxton

I saw the usual gaslighting, ramped up another notch, from worthless Megan McArdle claiming this would make Republicans never support another PPP (which they weren't going to do anyway) or worthless Nate Silver going on about how there is no equivalence. Or the dead end left reminding everyone they must still hate Biden. And people saying this will do for Republican turnout what Dobbs did for Democratic turnout. They clearly all have their talking points coordinated, and are upset at the idea of Democrats ever fighting back.

I saw that Don Lemon was upset about this, reminding again of the agenda at CNN. I hope people have the sense to leave CNN in the rotting toilet where it belongs.

The "paper of record" has hired yet another right wing mouthpiece who spent two years trying to dig up dirt on the Biden family, and is now reduced to trying to claim Biden lied about his father's education. Never forget how much the establishment media hates this country and hates anyone who does not write them big checks. I see he came from the New Yorker, which had a positive profile of DeSantis not long ago (the man who wrote this also goes on chummy podcasts to talk about him with DeSantis supporter and all around moron Andrew Sullivan). Glad I don't read them much anymore.

Trump remains Trump, even as people continue to bankroll him and turn a blind eye.

Blake Masters, another of Peter Thiel's golden boys, is a very proud zealot for extremist causes. It tells you how shaken up various arms of the party are over the NY-19 election result that he is now playing this delete and hide game. Luckily for him the corporate press will not care.

They left it somewhat vague. Roo is tutoring a young woman who wants to be a lawyer - he said Morag used to say you have to study all day and night.

Michael Tylo and Lisa Brown died last year. Mitchell Ryan died this year. There are also likely a number of actors who played smaller roles on soaps who died this year.

It's a shame they never bring back these legends. I know some still fans still talk about Pippa today. Marilyn has a new story that just started, about a long lost child I guess, possibly. Roo had a decent story earlier this year about giving her mother a kidney. There was a strong scene in a therapy session where she finally vented about all the damage her mother faking her death did to her, including causing her to give her child up for adoption. If I ever find it I'll clip it and post it. A lot of fans do not like this retcon about Alf's wife not actually being dead, which I understand. The show didn't really do anything for the passing of Cornelia Frances, which is a shame. Alf did mention Morag yesterday, for the first time in a long time, so it's good timing to read your comment.

The lawsuit against Horatio Sanz and NBC is expanding. https://people.com/tv/nbc-responds-to-latest-sexual-assault-claims-against-snl-horatio-sanz/
