I Am A Swede

A new mass shooting, this time in Prague.... Prague shooting: Gunman dead after killing 10 at Prague university

I would say it probably does. On B&B it's usually the first step out the door and into oblivion.

To be perfectly blunt I don't think it's the how, but the who that is the problem.

To be honest I'm not sure what all the commotion is about. It's not the first time someone has been let go from a soap, and it won't be the last. B&B especially is notorious for this, bringing on a well-known name just to unceremoniously dump them after their initial story.

TCM are usually very good at these "In Memoriam", and this was no exception. The A.M.P.A.S could learn a thing or two from them....

My mistake. Since the discussion was about phasing out original families for new I thought you meant that Jeanne Cooper came on when Bill Bell did that on Y&R.

I was under the impression that she was on from the very first year of the show?

That alternative is something that no-one seems to have considered..... 🤔

This is so true. Social media is positive in many ways, but there's a dark side to it and unfortunately that dark side seems to be growing.

I can't really speak for the rest of Europe, but here in Sweden we're definitely on our way to becoming as polarized as the US. And frankly it scares me. We've had high political figures make statements that wouldn't have seemed out of place in Nazi-Germany.

Maybe they did it in private? Not everything has to be put on display for the whole world to see.

If you want satire and comedy then "Soap" would be a better choice than "Passions"

Hey, better late than never! (Or pregnant, as Blanche would say....)
