GH December 2020 Discussion
I agree 100% about MEK. He can stay if he isn't going to that AMC reboot. The Colonel Sanders accent can gradually be dropped like they did with Mac's Australian one years ago. As for Cyrus, I get the sinking feeling judging by the reveal that they are setting up Laura to feel some form of sympathy because of his past, maybe eventually forming a poor man's version of the Vicki/Todd sibling dynamic. I hope I'm wrong though.

One & Done: Actors Who Only Appeared on One Soap
Jaison Walker (I.Q. Guiding Light) Mark Brettschneider (Jason Webb OLTL) Both actors disappeared after appearing on their respective shows despite having decent sized roles, though Brettschneider had a very small part in the movie That Thing You Do.

I always found it weird that Ed didn't realize or at least had a suspicion that Blake was the same person that he raised as a daughter when she first came back to town. Being that the writers supposedly didn't always mean for Blake to be Chrissy, I wonder what the timeline was for the change.

All My Children Tribute Thread
Canary originally played Adam as simply a deconstructed antithesis of his version of Steve Frame on Another World. I agree that maybe the original plans was to kill off or arrest Adam after something evil happened,but they were able to flesh out the chatacter more.

Even closer, Kate did the play All My Sons in 2018. Here is the play's web page (including a youtube interview of her and her director husband and clips of scenes): https://www.courttheatre.org/season-tickets/2017-2018-season/all-my-sons/

One Life to Live Tribute Thread
I think Jontz may have been a temporary stopgap when Reinholt left the show. At the time, Tony was involved in a serious accident and had a heavily bandaged face in the hospital for a while. I remember another actor for a short while in the bandages, but when they came off it was MacHale. Interesting, when you do a Google or IMDB search, a Jimmy Jontz doesn't come up as an actor. As for Strasser, she was offered the role of Cathy Craig during that time, more than likely to replicate the AW dynamic. As it was, Cathy did for a certain extent play the Rachel role between Tony and Pat.

The Politics Thread
This all reminds me of a GREAT story. In the late 1980's.5AM in the morning I was switching to the E train going to Manhattan at Queens Plaza. I happen to see an old acquaintance of mine standing at one of the subway doors. He calls me over when I notice a bunch of dark suited men in his car (weird at that time in the morning). I come in and see he is there with Jimmy and Roslyn Carter sitting in the corner seats decked out in work clothes!! They were all heading for the South Bronx to work for HFH in coordination with the guy's church(no press was present). I had a nice conversation with them but couldn't go because I had miss too many days of work (should have got Jimmy to write an absentee note...).

This video is very hurting to the right being that they always tout RDJ online as one of their "cool republicans". NO! There was a new poll released this morning putting him at 6% (which I still think is inflated) with AA compare with 89% for HRC.

What really strikes me that during 9/11, the so-called "liberal media" and all politicians stood by the President (rightfully so), and his poll numbers exploded straight up. If a similar tragedy happened today, Breitbart, FOX News, and all the Limbaughs, Hannitys, and Becks of the world would immediately prepare pieces on how Obama "didn't protect this country."

I've been hearing about rhis Pearson kid for about a week now/ What's funny is while the rightie media has been playing up how his parents are supposedly "raging liberals", no one has bothered to interview them . Makes you wonder...

I don't think the Beast writer realizes that if Aaron Sorkin brought Coulter "to life" as said, she would have been a West Wing villain and would have been made a joke out of. That's the thing with the GOP and their media heroes. They think that people think of them as "cool" when it is the total opposite.

The shame is that this 23-part series of summarys has entertained me more these few weeks than any soap on air has in years.

And it's too bad. I remember a time not too long ago when this country's canditates was above what I call "National Enquirer politics" and someone running a campaign like Trump would have been mocked at by EVERYONE.

That awkward moment when you realize good reasons why Carly both is a pathetic candidate and was a failure in charge of HP: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/carly-fiorina-paid-leave_55ccec50e4b0898c4886de6e?cps=gravity_5030_7715991661534211518&kvcommref=mostpopular

Florina is this election cycle's Herman Cain. A woman/minority with no chance to win that the repubs put in so they can claim to be "diverse" (come to think about it, the same can be said anout Carson and Jindal).

I sought of agree with The Prince on certain points when it comes to Rubio. I don't think he will end up being the Republican nominee but I think he would be the smartest choice for the repubs out of anyone in the "clown car" for the VP nomination (not that I would vote for them anyway). All issues aside, he is almost the Republican version of John Edwards during the John Kerry campaign (notice I'm not talking about the more recent Edwards indiscretions). Young,photogenic, a bit of charisma,etc. Too bad I don't agree with his politics.

Their saying Carly Fiorina "won" the B show debate. I'm waiting for the day she's asked the tough questions about the Hewlett-Packard failure.

The View
I certainly didn't share her political views, but definately a very intelligent, well thought out person. Was so much better than the Queen of Fox and Friends she had replaced.

The problem the repubs have with Trump,Walker, and the rest of the clown car is they ONLY pander to their base. They do absolutely nothing to attempt to get the vote of the independent voter, which is the true key to winning the presidency. This was true of the last election when Obama was,frankly speaking, vulnerable because of the bad economy.An independent voter who is latino will probably not vote for Trump, the same with someone who gets a pension will not vote with Walker.
