@Vee I know you enjoyed The Americans so you may enjoy this. Matthew Rhys talks a lot about the confusing writing and about his rollercoaster ride with whether his parents should watch the show that week. I do love Matthew Rhys. Perry Mason does not look good to me (the trailer was terrible) but I hope it works out for him.

Most of his softcore work is credited to Frank Harper. I notice that too about Tudor - I figure it must wind down sometime in 1992. She's in a very eye-popping outfit for Clay and Dinah Lee's 'wedding.'

On the one hand this helps Trump in turnout because his justices voted against the ruling, so he will have more reason to say to his base that he's had an impact, but the main thing is this is good news for the country as a whole and to so many who came here and were then used as pawns and run into the ground. And it seems that Roberts is continuing to move further away from the right on key issues because the party is becoming so extreme he has little choice but to do so. He is still going to side with them much of the time, but we need that vote whenever we can get it. I guess it's just the abortion case left to decide now, unless I'm forgetting one. That didn't take long. Trump enablers like Katy Tur are already pushing that these decisions are good for him and trying to paint his Presidency as a success.

I'll be honest - I knew Chip from his softcore porn work before I ever knew he was on Loving. So it was a strange adjustment. I'm glad he uploaded all those clips for us though.

In, "Why can't America be more like Europe???" news... Congressman Cedric Richmond vs. one of the biggest, oiliest shitslicks around.

It's something that could have been interesting on GH, although not with Ron writing.

That would have been 1987, I think.

@Vee thanks for finding that Ava scene. On the one hand her speech feels a bit generic to me and I can see why some felt her reactions were out of character, but Lisa Peluso sells the material as well as she can. Watching some of the episodes in Randolph's absence reminds me that Ava had a lot going on in her own right outside of Alex, and he can be somewhat suffocating to her as a character. I'm mostly sorry that we never got one last chapter with her, but I guess that was Lisa's choice.

Yes.

Here's a list of all the trash showing up for his hate rally. I'm sure their money-grubbing prayers will save them from Covid.

I actually preferred Robert Bogue to Mark Derwin (who was garbage for his last 2 years in the role and helped ruin the show for me), but the backstage stuff is so toxic it's hard to get past. I just wish he'd stuck with Dinah as he had a lot of chemistry with her, no matter how much he wanted to play-act with that bad acting Marina recast. At least they got together in the end, I guess. Here's a short Nancy Malone (the Robin after the one we saw in the January 1961 episode) interview. She doesn't say much about her time at GL though.

I thought he was fine enough - charismatic, if a bit on the smarmier side without as much emphasis on sympathetic elements. The decision to make him the heavy in the Rocky and Todd story, and then transferring this over to Rocky and Rio by trying to have Rio deported, was a waste of the character. Sadly Loving seemed to keep making Curtis the heavy in pairings through the '90s - at least with Dinah Lee and Trucker I could say they were fairly compelling, but Rocky...? Eh. Not worth character trashing. The most interesting thing about her pairings were that the guys would have been more compelling if they'd hooked up with each other. (considering her quasi-threesome fantasy I imagine she would agree)

I don't understand why these things have to keep being vomited up in so many threads, with zero moderation. No wonder so many people have left this board.

A very long time coming.

@BillBauer thanks for the 1967 episode. The only one up was in shaky quality so this is a much clearer upload.

already posted, sorry (I posted the original back in April but it probably slipped through)

Not surprised. And sadly, most people won't care.

How bizarre and pearl-clutchy to go on about these shows no longer having bad people. Most of them are still full of scum.

When the media spin about how non-racist the GOP is becoming keeps hitting, just point people in the direction of who the party still caters to: As if I didn't feel sick enough today.

I doubt it would have done much to salvage Quibi, but they missed an opportunity at not having any 10-15 minute soaps on their platform. Instead we got a woman with a golden arm...???? I agree. The 15-minute episodes of GL are popping most of the time - only when we get into stuff like Kathy whimpering about her love life does my interest fade a bit. It helps that these years were when Bert was so riddled with insecurity and was at times so vicious. Charita lights up the screen. I could watch her and Papa all day long.

True. I feel like it was especially bad in the 1795 story.

So many people, goaded by selfish and callous types all over social media and in the GOP, never wanted to sacrifice. They instead just waited until they would have a reason to say "gotcha!" and "hypocrite!" (the usual far right excuse to never do anything to help anyone), even falsely claiming that the BLM protests are why many stopped social distancing or wearing masks even though that had mostly stopped weeks earlier. They do nothing, they want other people to do nothing, then they attack those people when bad things happen because of doing nothing. Look at the scumbag governor of Texas, who is berating young Texans for the spike in cases while also making it harder for masks to be worn in public.

You aren't missing much. She made a tiny, tiny amount of appearances and was then killed off as part of that incomprehensible serial killer story.
