Coronavirus/Covid-19 Discussion Thread
This is a smaller study, but it does add weight to natural immunity and being vaccinated providing optimal protection. https://www.wgbh.org/news/national-news/2021/09/07/new-studies-find-evidence-of-superhuman-immunity-to-covid-19-in-some-individuals Now they're starting to look into the immunity and antibody situation in those that got vaxxed and has a breakthrough case. Lastly, I think booster shots are a little premature for the general public.

Are there soap characters on the same show who rarely interacted?
They did interact some Macy's mom and Taylor's dad were engaged. One particular scene was where Macy said she was no longer drinking while a concerned Taylor noted Macy was looking at alcohol on the table wanting to drink it...but otherwise..no other scenes. Did Sheila and Macy ever interact?

Santa Barbara Discussion Thread
Julia's 1st episode hinted that she was overweight, had an over bite and was awkward. So she probably was told by her parents she'd never had amount to anything. Even though she lost the weight and fixed her overbite...the scars were there. She focused on her career at the expense of her personal life. The first 18 months of her time wasn't with Mason...and you saw how she fumbled with men.

Agnes Nixon's Erica Kane
My mom would occasionally turn in the late 90s and 2000s...and she would wonder where Brooke or Erica stood with one another. And on occasion, if Brooke was mentioned to Erica...Erica would have a great put down...and when Erica was mentioned to Brooke...Brooke would sigh and make a passive aggressive dig at Erica. Happened all the way till the end of the show..and ironically, the two started out being co schemers till Tom entered the picture

Agnes Nixon's Erica Kane
Erica taking Maria's baby Maddie was the wrong move..and I don't know what the logic was in doing that. I thought the scenes of Erica returning the baby to Maria were good, her being arrested, Mateo telling Erica she was no longer welcome in his restaurant, people throwing rocks through her window, being sent to jail, Maria's mom coming to Erica's parole hearing, a scene where Liza pointed out to Erica that people weren't going to support her early release to see Bianca when she kept a baby away from their mom. I think the 1999 face scar story is when the show stopped writing Erica as a 3D character and turned her into a cartoon. And she seemed to regress in maturity as well. Look at Erica running Tempo in the 80s and later Enchantment in the 90s. She acted mature, decisive and like an adult. Flashforward to the 2000s..and she was acting like a teenager.

Jill and Dru interacted alot in the early 90s when Dru was a model at Jabot. Dru nicknamed her 'dragonlady' Jill interacted in the 80s and 90s with Ashley and Traci..she was their step mom. Traci and Lauren were college rivals..and they had an epic cat fight in the 90s

Coronavirus/Covid-19 Discussion Thread
When will the vaccine be updated with RNA's formulated for Delta and other variants? Before requiring a booster, shouldn't the vaccine to be updated against some of the variants? And other countries are actually looking at natural immunity post recovery..to see if a booster would be needed. Wish the USA would do more studies instead of just mandating the 2 dose regimen for everyone, including survivals of Covid

Santa Barbara Discussion Thread
So I rewatched the Locher room...and Harley said she was let go from the show. Apparently, she had only signed a one year contract and it was coming up for renewal. And renewing it would have also come with a raise. Apparently New World (I assume owners of SB) were looking to cut costs...and this was decided as her one year contract was coming up for renewal. And she didn't know she was being let go till right before her death scenes were to be filmed. And she asked if her departure would be memorable and the EP said 'oh yeah'. I did hear the show wanted her to come back later and she turned them down...except for that one episode where she came back as an angel? I think Mary's death shattered Mason...and was part of the reason he and Julia never could make it work..till 1992 (but with a new Mason..and I think GT's Mason and Julia were more romantic and end game vs Lane Davis' Mason..who kind of viewed Julia as beneath him).

Sutton is a southern gal...steel magnolia wasn't just a cute name for a movie..but to.show the strength and backbone of southern women. Erika should understand that...considering she's a southern girl as well. Was Crystal even around?

Problem with Potomac is that Giselle and Karen are toxic when together..so I would cut one of them. And I would cut the new girl Mia..she doesn't work either. And I would hire a friend of one of the women..an actual friend.

RHOBH: Where is Camille when we need her? She always thinks on her feet and could have handled Ericka and called out Rinna. Heck, she would have known to throw water on the witch Erika..causing her to melt

DAYS Spinoff: Beyond Salem Discussion Thread
Seeing the underlying tension between Anna and Marlena over Carrie. Seeing Carrie actually with Anna, and seeing nice moments between John/Marlena are wonderful. More of this and less camp please. Also, I like Paulina..and Jackee is playing her slightly different than she played Sandra Clark and Lisa. She is a bright spot on Days .

Recasts on shows: good, bad, in between
I think if anything Slesar would have extended Winters story if the sudden recast was an issue. It seemed like Winter was gone in a matter of weeks..so I'm sure the ending didn't get altered. Seeing her in Dead movie in the mid 80s.. her being revealed as the killer and going after Nicole would have had greater impact

Agnes Nixon's Erica Kane
I remember a verbal spat between Liza (Jamie Lunar's version) and Erica...where Erica said that very thing to her. And Liza rolled her eyes and laughed at that statement. I'm not sure if it was an acting choice..or in the script...but in that scene, it showed how delusional Erica was..based on how Liza reacted to that statement. And another scene where Liza was told Erica was getting married...and she said 'oh is that time of the year again'. It was one of the rare times where a character laughed at Erica.

Agnes Nixon's Erica Kane
Barbara Montgomery was a worthy opponent to Erica because unlike pious Brooke...Barbara verbally delivered against Erica. I did like how Erica ended up at OAK Haven..with Annie pointing out how holier than thou Erica was..considering she committed the same crime. And even remarked 'and I'm the crazy one' after finding out about Janet and Erica burying Kinder. I think the Phantom of the Opera mask story in 1999 was the start of the Erica not having any depth.

She looks like she was plucked from a 1940s film noir. I bet her take on the character in the final weeks would have had more impact.

New Sonny = 😈 All this mention of Hope...wonder if KA will be making a cameo down the road. Leo = yuck Marlena doing the voiceover during the hour glass intro...I thought was nice. Billie...Rinna is playing herself, not Billie so far
