Fame - Irene Cara

Come on Donald, let's spell it together: h y p o c r i t e !

Defending champion Bianca Andreescu will not try to defend the US Open title this year. She has withdrawn from the tournament. https://www.bbc.com/sport/tennis/53770601

^^ I knew that realistically this is pretty much what could be expected, but..... there was this part of me that still held out hope for something better. I mean, we're talking about saying farewell to Annie Sugden here. The very heart and soul of Emmerdale. That is what she is, and will always be, at least to me.

^^ I wish I could say that I'm surprised, but I'm not. The Sugden family have been treated like an afterthought for years. It breaks my heart though to think about the kind of send-off Annie will get compared to the one she deserves..... I wonder if Ryan Hawley (or maybe Karl Davies) will appear as Robert at least? But naturally Elizabeth Estensen won't be able to appear, or Christopher Chittell. And even if they wanted to neither Frederick Pyne nor Jean Rogers will be able to either. (Not that I think that anyone in charge at Emmerdale nowadays would even entertain the idea to include Matt and/or Dolly. It's doubtful they even know how important they were in Annie's life) I will honour Annie in my own way, by watching old episodes on Youtube.

I know! I guess they saw something good in the show, I can't really understand what though.....

The Madrid Open may be cancelled after the resurgence of Covid-19 cases in Spain.... https://www.bbc.com/sport/tennis/53617598
