So sad to hear about Sarah Dash. Labelle were the heart of my favorite Laura Nyro album, and had some timeless songs that don't get much attention, like their cover of Moonshadow (better than the original) and What Can I Do For You?

Yes, it threw me when I first read it. Maureen was very understanding, clearly.

Thank you for sharing your memories. I wish any of this was available. I have only ever seen Lynn in a promo. I remember Maureen Garrett saying in SOD that Lynn had left the show because she got married, implying she hadn't really wanted to leave. Maureen said Lynn would, for a while, return and watch her while she was filming, which would unnerve her.

Ah, thanks. So I guess they were planning to do a Marty/Esther pairing and then they had to rapidly change course with Esther's pregnancy. That might also explain why Monique is back.

Another propaganda piece from this show, with droning, ponderous Ted Koppel no less. This is the same show that had a puff piece on Jon Voight recently. Garbage.

Obama's administration also had harsh immigration policies, especially in his first term. Just not cruel, the way Trump's were. Biden was a part of that administration so on top of that you also have the heavy pressure of the media and the GOP, and a border patrol who are gung ho. Even if, as some say, that is not a whip, it's still an awful image. Even worse is that a majority of this country would gleefully hold that whip themselves if they could. America has absolutely decimated Haiti, many times over. If we owe any country it's them. Yet we see just how little respect they get from us.

That's interesting. I didn't know that. Do we know which stories were truncated due to COVID? The show seems to have short plots anyway...I wonder about that Wai and Marty story. I guess Esther's maternity leave must have been sometime last year.

What a joke. This is the type of stuff that Manchin and Sinema and those hiding behind them are allowing to keep voters home in 2022.

He would be a great governor. Sadly his gun positions likely take him out of a statewide win, but you never know.

I see some activity on Twitter for Y&R, but it's mostly been Mariah/Tessa fans. I don't know if that's as true lately.

Poor Jennilee Harrison sure earned her check with this one.

Great find. I imagine she had to put out the usual statement American celebrities give about how she is a huge huge fan of the show.

I do think the Buchanans were heavily influenced by the Ewings, especially in the early days when they had their own imported entourage of lady loves and ranch hands. The biggest difference, and for me a very smart one, was that any tension between Clint and Bo was short-lived and they instead just had Asa meddling in their lives.

Nancy just appeared in that one-off fantasy episode in 1993.

I wonder if Beverlee would have been interested in a return, even for just that final episode. I guess we'll never know.

And Zak is such a weak, broken character at this point. I remember when they were going to make Cain the head of the family but that is a flawed decision. The closest they have is Lydia.
