Lee, as Michael Corbett was still on Ryan's Hope.

I remember when GL was over there was an interview with Deas or Margaret Colin that basically said that they'd decided he could keep a steady job while she went and did things that were I guess her passion (like a lot of theater work) and other work that would take her away, and it would also leave him free for the kids. In that case I imagine he probably kept taking cuts in order to stay on the show.

Hunt Block interview at 3 minutes in.

I think she very nearly left in 1995 until the last minute - I do wish they'd done more with her. I liked her relationship with Dimitri and I thought it could have gone somewhere. I remember her last episode being preempted by the Lewinsky scandal. I don't think I ever got to see it. It still annoys me. If it weren't for Megan McTavish returning right as Gloria was leaving I kind of wonder if she would have had as much of a goodbye as she did. Either way, I'm glad they did a good job with her goodbye as I certainly hadn't expected it.

Craig was an empty husk of a character long before Lindstrom - he was smarmy and forgettable but that was the role anyway. I thought he did a good job in the Gabe story, although it was trash.

A bit more of Victoria Mallory on SB.

I'm not really that into the hype over her speaking up on Twitter but the backlash against her is disgusting - and not just from trolls, there have been hit pieces in major publications as well. I'm not sure why. Speaking of Obama (earlier in the thread), I see that Bernie and Elizabeth Warren are criticizing him for a 400K speech. I don't really understand why this is a big priority. Yes, you shouldn't be cozy with Wall Street, but who cares? Let him have his money. If they really think that Joe in Topeka is going to not vote for a Democrat because Obama gives a big speech to Wall Street, good luck to them.

I think her husband even gave interviews to soap magazines, which was...a bit surprising. Or maybe he didn't and they just did articles about his statements. I don't remember. Either way it was one of the first times that the soap magazines delved into personal lives that way.

saynotoursoap, when he posted here, said he felt Aniston was awful on SFT and on LOL, I believe.

Per AWHP Sheri Anderson was HW from February-April 1988 (when the strike hit). I guess it must have been her idea. They said Sharlene returned to get Josie away from a bad crowd in Chadwell.

The Dutch boy was one of the worst haircuts I've seen on any soap...I think she chopped or changed it again right before leaving and it was a bit better. The pixie hair she said in one interview made people repeatedly ask if she was a lesbian, to the point where she began to wonder herself.

Oh look, another broken Trump promise for the far right (and the far left). http://www.politico.com/story/2017/04/26/trump-nafta-withdrawal-mexico-canada-237670

I really really really wish Anne Heche had been around long enough to play the scene where Marley learned Paulina shot Jake, but still, Jensen is alright. Beautifully written scenes here, so rich - great stuff. AW was such a unique soap. I'm always going to feel like it was a part of me.

True. It's a certain view I think from some in the party that they will get all the votes of non-white voters so they don't have to make an effort. As long as that continues they will lose.

I don't think they can find another Obama just as they never found another Bill Clinton - it's once in a generation, or several generations. I'd say the best thing they can do is to stop the infighting, stop the purity contests (if possible), focus more on face-to-face meeting and building up, less on demographics and micro-targeting. Less on the idea that everything is going to go their way because it's supposed to (because of Republicans going too far, or demographics). And I think Obama has the best idea in working against gerrymandering. I'd say there needs to be a lot more time spent on judicial elections too.

Given what a talentless hack Sheffer was, her death would have been handled even worse.
