ALL: Soap Stars - Where are they now?
This is one of those quack things I guess. Don't know if this is new...if so he's aged well compared to some co-stars.

The Black Lives Matter Thread
Sick people cheering the method of running down protesters. Why they would want this type of ugliness normalized when it can so easily be turned around on them, I don't know. They are as stupid as they are vile.

This is such a transparent ploy to help Trump. They're counting on a lot of younger voters and black voters to support Kanye and go along with the idea that Trump and Biden are just alike. And the media will wag their tails like needy dogs as it's a sexier story; it also helps distract people from Trump being so incoherent that he spends his half-empty hate rally blathering about "swipiang and sweeping" in Vietnam and Desert Storm. If his campaign has anyone sensible amongst the grifters, they will blackball anyone who thought it made ANY sense to try to run the dementia campaign that the Bernie bros were running.

Guiding Light Discussion Thread
Not until the late '80s. I think we first saw it around 1983. I'm not sure. Thanks for the videos @Soapsuds . I have many complaints about GL but I still miss it every day and I still believe it could be thriving today with proper handling. So many of the characters felt like my friends and I mourn their absence, even as I know they were never real.

More money wasting and kickbacks and shameful huckster games. Just the most desperate pandering imaginable (and it may work for all I know). The only bright spot is if more people finally start to know the truth about Billy Graham.

I still wish we knew more about that brief Diego vampirism story that was dropped. I remember they at least addressed the Marley and Jake rape when she was going after him, but still, I agree the whole thing was questionable. I'm just glad they let Marley have a redemption and didn't pack her off as the crazy lady.

I see that Trump had a hate rally tonight and I see that Mary Hart is yet another has-been who would happily watch people like me die. She can go to the same purgatory of worthlessness as Baio, Dean Cain, Kristy Swanson, and that ilk. [!@#$%^&*] all of them, now and forever.

I'm glad you're mostly seeing compassion. Hopefully that will be what carries the day. And I'm sorry so many of us in the US have so little compassion ourselves.

Coronavirus/Covid-19 Discussion Thread
What I mean is I'm always wary of "your country is worse than my country" or posturing types of word games. When it goes too far without any clear plans you end up with something like Trudeau's tweet (even if it was well-meaning on his part) after Trump won leading to floods of people at the border and Canada having to deal with the influx of immigration and refugees they hadn't expected.

Just disgusting. The media loves to talk about conservatives being betrayed by the Supreme Court, but they never have a word to say about the Court continuing to advance voter suppression. I won't link to the ads but I see that the GOP are running ads in urban parts of PA blasting Biden for the crime bill. This goes along with so many operatives who infest black websites encouraging black voters not to vote. The worst part is there are so many ex-Bernie bros who are giddily, actively pushing this narrative without being paid a dime. I don't think most of those being targeted will go along, but with such active voter suppression, even a slim shift would be enough to make a difference. A few articles on Trump's bad week/month and campaign changes as a result. https://www.politico.com/news/2020/07/02/the-week-that-shook-that-trump-campaign-348383 https://www.nytimes.com/2020/07/02/us/politics/trump-2020-campaign-problems.html I keep seeing endless fawning over Tucker Carlson all over social media, and various articles pushing him for President in 2024. The news that Peter Thiel is close to abandoning Trump make me wonder if he's behind any of this. (and yet again, fake leftists like grifter Krystal Ball and Ryan Grim are also involved). https://www.businessinsider.com/peter-thiel-reportedly-cutting-trump-loose-2020-7

Weird as we were just talking about Chip. Maybe they read the boards. James was so underrated as Clay.

I never did finish them...it's hard for me to watch a lot of that period. I hope someone may put them back up as I sure don't think anybody is taking down Loving for copyright issues.

There was some fun bitterness between Barbara and Margo around the time of the stalking story and Barbara's fling with Evan. I had never seen Martha's Lily. I was not impressed. All she did was simper, when she wasn't singing the same damn song over and over (and I like that song!). It didn't help that I was not a fan of the Holden/Lily pairing. When they moved more toward the Damian/Lily relationship, investing in it and phasing Holden out of the story, I began to care more. I never really was that interested in Martha's Lily (I'm one of the few who was much more fond of her as Rose), but I do think she had her moments and I'm sorry her experience with ATWT had to end in such a bad way. Lily was involved in business from 93-94, you're right. I guess Martha didn't really see it as business-focused because of the triangle aspect. In that sense, Heather's Lily wasn't that business focused after her first year or two in the role. I wonder if Martha just never watched her (which would be understandable).
