From a December 1992 soap magazine Catherine O'Hara, starring again as Macaulay Culkin's mom in the newly released Home Alone 2: Lost in New York, had just finished taping a segment for CBS This Morning when she wandered down to the ATWT set. Catherine, a serious ATWT fan, was watching a scene being taped when several of the cast members approached. Lisa Brown (IVA), whose two children have the first Home Alone on video, told the actress, "My kids watch you at least twice a week!" Susan Marie Snyder (JULIE) has been one of Catherine's fans since her Second City TV days, and Judson Mills (HUTCH) and Heather Rattray (LILY) dropped by to offer more professional kudos. I never knew she watched soaps. She had good taste - how lucky she was to be there in one of the last good eras of ATWT, and how lucky they were to meet her. Wow.

Yes. She also had lawyer Mitchell Dru pop into various P&G shows she was involved with - GL, AW, and I think one or two others.

Summer trailer. Pretty good. http://sorenkingsley.tumblr.com/post/146560890894

The first soap crossovers were generally from Irna Philips.

I never knew there was a temp Steve. I'm way behind (I'm still in April 1969) but I've put the episodes on discs, so if you need any help I can try.

A few bits from a Jack Coleman interview about halfway through this Showbiz Today - the topic is gay characters and straight actors. The guy from Brothers response to the stupid "do you try to act more macho in real life?" question is hilarious.

I think this has been around before, maybe on saynotoursoap, but this channel has a lot of soap material so I assume it's theirs. Seeing this again after finally getting to see more of Carolee Campbell makes me see what a good (if very somber) recast Jada Rowland was.

I just found this on Dailymotion. Looks like it was uploaded last year. Is it from saynotoursoap? Was this writers' strike material? http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x31pto8_peter-burnell-search-for-tomorrow-scenes_fun

A good piece in The Guardian. http://www.theguardian.com/politics/2016/jun/24/david-cameron-downfall-european-tragedy

Why doesn't he go make himself useful. I'm sure he can find a place at the Carter Center...

Lengthy cast crawl here for Loving closing credits.

Someone is reuploading the September and October 1992 episodes that were on Youtube last year. Many of these were not on the ATWT channel most of you here have been watching for past episodes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8b46chiCSeo

This is why I'm still very wary about Trump winning. You can't underestimate how many stupid people are out there voting. The main difference between them and UK voters is most of those who vote for Trump will never admit they're wrong - they would say the evil Hillary and liberal media brainwashed them.

Someone has reuploaded the 3 August 1981 OLTL episodes that were on Youtube last year.

Not that I know of. Given that Lisa Brown essentially played Nola as Iva about 80% of the time in her second run, I can see where the confusion stemmed from...

I hear you Carl. These really are complicated issues. I just balk at the idea that I must be racist or a hater if I think we have to slowly assimilate people to a western way of thinking or worse yet that it's wrong to want to assimilate immigrants. I do not want to let in huge numbers of people who don't agree that women and gay people deserve equal rights. I don't blame the Brits for being wary of that either. Sorry - what I meant was in some of these areas, a number of immigrants also voted to leave. So, as you said, it's more difficult and a lot of minorities in the UK have the same difficult choice. But people like Nigel Farage make it so much about race and overshadow the issues.

A lot of UK areas with a heavy immigrant population also voted to leave, and in some cases not by close margins, so I think it was more complicated than just racism or xenophobia, but obviously that had to play a part. In some ways it reminds me of the GOP elites and the Rove types who harnessed the religious wrong and the tea party, only to be turfed by them. David Cameron harnessed these to get into power, and he truly stopped to new lows not long ago in the London mayoral elections (he and others all but called the Labour candidate a terrorist sympathizer and enabler). He's reaped the whirlwind, as he's now resigning. He'll be gone by October. I just hope Johnson doesn't replace him. And if he does I hope Obama makes him squirm.

Beyond the ramifications for the everyday person, it will also cause a lot of upheaval in their two major parties. It's actually frightening to think that Boris Johnson might be PM, especially after his open, blatant racism toward Obama just a few months ago. The Democrats need to look to Labour for examples of what happens when you alienate so much of your base in so many different ways, all while simultaneously seeming too weak and craven to attract new voters.

Natalie Anderson interview.

A variety of detailed spoilers here, of varying quality. http://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/emmerdale/ What I am looking forward to (sort of): What I just don't want:

That's pretty stupid. That type of stunt galvanizes people more than the sit-in would have.

Why were cameras shut off?

I apologize for being so worked up in the first place. I promised myself I wouldn't post about the show anymore, as I hate what it has become, and I should have kept to that. I can barely post here now anyway, because the board is broken, so anything I do say is typed through a cheese grater. It's gotten to a point where it takes me so much time to post anything that I don't even want to try anymore. So if you see me post less that is the main reason, above anything else.
