Rosemary would have been great - she's a match for Stephen too.

Chris Wallace must be on the way out. All of the discourse about the selfishness of RBG has started again, but I just hope she can make it to January (and that Biden can win). This year has felt endless and I'm terrified every day. Speaking of terrifying, a high ranking NYC police union guy seems to have ties to Q anon.

Isn't this the second time Brandi has caused these problems? (wasn't season 3 hacked to pieces because of her feud with Adrienne)

I will. I'm glad it went well. I'd enjoy hearing Kirk and Chris talk more about their time at the show. Thanks for telling me about it.

Yeah, still the eyebrows. Otherwise he looks terrific. That was the first I'd watched of these in months. Rick was very energetic and grounded, and Sonia was sweet and easy to watch as well. Alan offered nothing but I don't want to bash him too much as he is doing this for fans and there were no connection issues this time, but please just do basic research. Sonia was NOT on OLTL before GL. You can find that on Wikipedia! If you have a chance, try to watch Rick having a meltdown about how much he hated the Universal remote. SO funny. I was annoyed Alan didn't ask the questions about Gilly/AM that multiple people asked. At least he did ask a question about Julie and Lucy and their feud.

Rick Hearst said in the Lochner interview today that he tested for Linc on ATWT, and that he was offered AJ on GH after Sean Kanan was fired. (he turned it down because he wanted a break from soaps)

Thanks. With his mental struggles over the years I had a feeling. Other than the eyebrow issues Rick looks terrific. Sonia seems likeable enough. She didn't remember that Harley and Lucy briefly met in the anniversary episodes, but that's understandable. [!@#$%^&*] hell Alan did not know Rick and Beverlee McKinsey worked together. I'm just glad Rick corrected him...

I turned it on now - was Frank there? I don't see him.

The protest Porsha was arrested at made national news, as she and the others who were there were slapped with some serious charges, while white protesters who hung the governor of Kentucky in effigy right outside his home were not charged with anything. This is a very relevant story and I hope it RHOA can do it justice.

Thanks for the update @Forever8 . I am glad Yvonne is still doing well. And I just love ART and my old favorite Tom. I so rarely watch these but I keep meaning to.

What the hell is this???

Passions did worse a decade later and no one seemed to care. I think daytime became something most stopped caring about by that point.

https://www.radiotimes.com/news/2015-05-25/emmerdale-star-paula-tilbrook-i-asked-the-producer-not-to-have-betty-murdered/ “I did ask Kate Oates, our producer, to not have me murdered,” Tilbrook says. “I was fed up of murders. It’s a very dangerous place to be. You’re better off in the Bronx than Emmerdale village. And she said to me, ‘oh no, of course I won’t’. And she hasn’t. It’s a proper happy ending. Who doesn’t like a happy ending?”

The worst part of Woolery's BS is I have a feeling the stuff with his son might have just been used by him because of backlash. He's absolute scum. Anyway...there are so many stories like this but my heart just breaks for her.

Accusations against Kevin Connolly. (he says the encounter was consensual) https://deadline.com/2020/07/kevin-connolly-sexual-assault-rape-denial-costume-designer-1202986675/

Trump has demoted Brad Parscale, replacing him with one of Chris Christie's old stooges (who was dumped by Christie due to loss of confidence). He handled this in his usual great way. Before we get the inevitable gushing articles of Trump's brilliant, revived campaign, we can at least have a moment to laugh about Brad "death star" Parscale.

After Maureen's death and the unbearable Nick and Buzz domination, I was pretty much already defeated by GL by the time of Brent/Marian. As a result, it didn't bother me as much as I know it bothered other fans, although killing Nadine in the manner they did was grotesque, and falsifying Lucy's HIV test results was gross. The story was well-executed and the show as a whole improved around that time, making me care about most of the people in Springfield again, so I could be more forgiving (it completely crashed by summer '96, sadly, and the show was very, very lucky that it was not canceled). I hate the idea of raping a character to make viewers like her, but I do think Sonia Satra's performances improved dramatically (being beside an immense talent like Frank Beaty probably helped). As for Felicia, I do see the comparisons, but Kristina Wagner was a much warmer presence and her nasal voice didn't stand out as much on GH (her frequent scene partner Jackie Zeman also had a nasal voice, when she wasn't baby talking).

I didn't get to save them as of yet as my Internet has slowed down a lot in recent months, but that's on me. I completely understand your choice. I'm very sorry that happened to you. It's unfortunate that ego and turf wars and selfishness so often ruin things for fans. Thank you for what you did share.

Yet again COVID makes fools of...fools. This rotting dogshit was at Trump's hate rally too.

I know there will be a full court press to get him 4 more years, which is hard to combat or is best left to Biden's response team, so my main worry at this point is just all the voter suppression and destruction of reforms. Ideally if Democrats win the Senate and the White House some of this will be fixed, if given time.

Betty did fit in from the start, felt like she'd been there from the start, even though she came in at such a crazy time for Emmerdale. Paula could play anything from slapstick comedy to high drama, and always had such an easy onscreen rapport with those around her. As Emmerdale moved further and further away from family and community, Betty still embodied those crucial ties. I'm glad Paula spoke up about the show's decay as she was leaving. I'm not sure if they will kill Betty off (they still haven't had anything about Annie) but if they do I hope they will do so with dignity.

I guess the media is going to push a Trump comeback narrative (again) over his preferred candidates prevailing in primaries today (pity the Texans who will now have his drunken doctor for a Congressman) and because it will help distract from the flop sweat (his rambling speech today; Ivanka hawking Goya beans like Joan Crawford in the old supermarket promotional film, Don Jr using his teenage brother to try to score a cheap shot against Biden after the right wing and his prostitute mother went on and on about never bringing him up) - Politico ran a strange story gushing about how his commuting Roger Stone had been a win for him because the base was fired up and no one else in the party could criticize. Whatever happens with the seat in November, I'm glad that Sessions was humiliated by Trump for years and then lost resoundingly. He is a proud racist and all around bigot who sold his soul and paid the price. And here is another dumbass. Gotta love that liberal voter fraud:

Media darling Josh Hawley, proven to be a liar and a phony yet again.

I've read Sullivan off and on from the "milky loads" days (NSFW NSFW....and...NSFW) and he has really gone off the deep end recently, winking and nodding at his old racist pseudo-science past while not endlessly obsessing over the evils of transgender activists, college campuses, and cancel culture. There are so many absolutely hysterical journalists who take up too much time and discourse and control too much of our narrative. They have given Trump and the GOP so many talking points this past month, and continue to do so. Awful Caitlin Flanagan actually claimed that Weiss quitting her job is "the biggest news story in years." She really did! If Trump gets reelected, these hacks are a big reason why. I wish they would just drop their endless posturing and own up to how they love and need him. They are sick in the head.

Thanks, @Faulkner.Naturally she is making it all about what a victim she is, as she always does. She is just a talentless, deeply destructive hack. Yet she is the face of who so many today want us to prioritize and use as an example of why "the left" and "cancel culture" is more damaging than Trump. One of her other fellow hacks was involved in this hilarious act of aggressive wankery on her behalf.
