Hope you enjoy it - I'm so glad it was new to you.

No problem. Hope you enjoyed it. Thank you for confirming about Virginia. I wasn't 100%. Glad to see one more new glimpse of her. I really miss getting to see so many soap actors in commercials.

That last one reminds me of why I generally avoid this show's fandom... I have not been able to get into the show in recent years. Jodie didn't click for me, sadly, although ultimately that is down to Chibnall, who has consistently failed at the show, from writer to showrunner.

That second hairdo fit the little girl lost theme better, but the first is very stylish.

I remember reading that Patsy Rahn's Monica was very out of control (didn't she even try to kill Rick when he was in a coma?). I wonder if this was an attempt to clean her up for viewers before the quad kicked into gear. Thank you @victoria foxton. Love that gif of Tracy. I wasn't sure if this one was around or not, it's so hard to remember what used to be on Youtube, but it was new to me so I am happy if it was for others too. Hopefully that channel may put up some more content. The quality really impressed me - many GH episodes from this period are very degraded. Sorry, I forgot to tag @jam6242 and @vetsoapfan in case they haven't seen this one either.

Sad to hear this...Tanya was never much of an actress but she had a rough-edged charm that made me like her, especially when she had to help wind down Charlie's Angels.

I would tend to agree, it's just when we get to the point where the character keeps sleeping with so many beautiful, sexy women, nothing against Peter Boynton, who was fine in other moments, but I don't think he had the charisma to pull that off.

Nancy Pelosi was re-elected Speaker today, with EVERY member of the Squad voting for her. This after they were harassed for months by griftergressives and fauxgressives like Jimmy Dore with encouragement from their enablers like Kyle Kulinski, Katie Halper, Brie Joy, etc. As always, the dead end left has no plan beyond alienating and losing - they prefer it that way because it keeps the money rolling in and means they don't have to actually do anything. And the suckers who keep them going will continue to do so.

Can anyone tell me if that's Virginia Vestoff in the Sure ad with Peter White at about 18 minutes? There's also a Brynn Thayer ad. Beyond the early glimpse of Tracy, my favorite part is the scene with Bobbie and Jessie. Rather than what we got later on with Carly, where Amy was just there to feud with her and spit bile, we have Jessie genuinely trying to help Bobbie, but being frustrated by just hos shallow and misguided she is. Great moment. It's also good to see more of Mary O'Brien's Heather - something so fascinating about this very, very on the edge woman hiding behind a placid demeanor. (I had forgotten Peter Taylor was still alive at this time) Oof...that Jackie and Darlene promo at the very end felt like something from Kentucky Fried Movie.

Hope you all had a good Christmas and New Year. There's some early Tracy footage in this I had never seen before. (I didn't even remember this hairstyle) General Hospital (1978, partial episode) - YouTube

I can't remember if this one has been around before, but someone put it up on Youtube. Pristine quality. General Hospital (1978, partial episode) - YouTube

I think they know most people won't care about the hacking, sadly. The mini-insurrection mostly feels like a naked gambit for 2024 to me, especially from Josh Hawley, who is a darling of fauxgressives on social media.

Probably someone like James Horan, who was able to play a complicated, brooding lothario/quasi-heel on Loving several years later.

I'd never seen this before - it's a primer for Neighbours for new viewers, with Anne Charleston (who sounds like she is fighting bronchitis!) popping into studio to give the story and character outline. Jim was quite a DILF. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FhebM9LkUnc

Emily Symons interview (starts about 14 minutes in) as she tours Paris. I never knew she hosted a talk show between H&A and Emmerdale. Looks like a proto-Loose Women. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rLobvfDxWmE

Another Republican state legislator. The official claim does not mention COVID, but he came down with it last month. Adding up:

GL March 1988: Alex and Alan as Kids - YouTube I'm glad they had this while Chris Bernau was still playing Alan. The moment where Alan asks Alex if she has forgotten their bond as children, and she says she chooses not to remember, is very poignant. Bernau's narration over the flashbacks was not needed and makes me wonder why they even had them in the first place. I didn't realize Vera was already around by this point. I guess the flashback of her was the closest GL would get to having a black character at this point.

I have to admit I have no real idea what parts of Barbara's time as a vixen that Colleen has complained about. I was just speaking generally about the character rather than her feelings.

How much of Labine's tenure overlapped with Max?

Thanks so much. I had missed that entirely.
