Thanks for finding all the photos @Paul Raven Marland really did spend months and months building up Floyd's music career. Or Allen Potter did. I wonder if that was ever meant to be long-term or if they just used that as a reason to brings musical guests in and there was never any interest in the character himself.

These days it's so hard to tell between doomposting and real life. I could see pretty much everything in those tweets happening, even if I don't think Biden would blame gays for buck-passing (I do think some others would, sadly). I'm just so tired of this slowness and apathy and blindness toward the threat in this country. I don't believe Welensky or the CDC are deliberately fostering homophobia, but that's what is happening anyway through such poor responses that beg people to assume gay or bi men did something to children.

I don't agree with the anti-Biden aspects of this that much but I do feel a lot of the rest will be true, especially after the bungling response and tone deaf comments (again) from Walensky.

The producers of Neighbours have worked very hard on finale returns. Many, many legends, stars, fan favorites from the last 35 years have agreed to return. Those who could not be there in person due to careers, like Margot Robbie, are going to film clips. I can't help comparing to the choice to heavily downplay returns in ATWT's last years, for the sake of mediocre to poor storylines and pet characters. I'll never forgive Chris Goutman for the shabby sendoff given to a household soap for generations, a crown jewel.

What a shocker to see a hate paper propping up a hatemonger.

I don't think anyone is unhappy. I think people are pointing out the lengths they have to go to to see a vintage episode that other genres would have already put out on DVD years ago.

Thank you so much for all of this @Paul Raven

Sad to hear this. He was always so stylish and charismatic on HSB.

Thanks. It's interesting to see how much famous soap, even many years in the past, can still negatively influence a career. I'm glad he didn't know about her past work.

Great review @Vee and a reminder of why I don't really get through most of that period. The biggest problem with the revival was Cidre just being a hack. Anyway, another Linda Gray interview for those who enjoy them:

@victoria foxton Thanks again!

@victoria foxton Thanks again. Look at Millette Alexander there! And I have always wanted to see Nancy Addison on GL! @safemight like this too.

Thanks so much @victoria foxton Stunning to see a glimpse of Kim near the Irna Philips era (I see her name isn't on the credits). I appreciate you thinking of us.

I don't believe it either. The GOP and the media will use this as a reason to say "we tried...woke liberals went too far and made us stop." And the left on Twitter is already just using it to attack Biden. In other news, this person is very likely the new Prime Minister of the UK:
