I Am A Swede

^^ Oh, wow. That is really unexpected!

Nah, I'm more in the mood for nostalgia right now.....

I no longer watch on a regular basis, but back when I did watch the couple with the most intense (non-romantic) chemistry on B&B was obviously Stephanie & Brooke. Susan Flannery and Katherine Kelly Lang worked so well opposite each other. I quickly grew tired of the Brooke/Ridge/Taylor love triangle and could never understand why those two ostensibly intelligent women kept fighting over that undeserving block of wood. Instead it was Stephanie vs Brooke that kept me watching.

How sad. I usually look out for things like this, but I have missed this completely. I'm so glad that we got those dvd-releases of early Emmerdale Farm, so we could see some of his work. I liked him. Too bad we didn't get any more dvd's. It would have been so nice to maybe get the entire 1970s. I guess the cost outweighed the benefits....

US Eurovision: Michael Bolton, Sisqó and Macy Gray to compete

I'm a bit surprised that shows like "Frasier", "Melrose Place" and "Knots Landing" haven't even been mentioned yet.....

I know there were talks about doing a spin off from "Upstairs, Downstairs" when that show ended in 1975. It was supposed to feature Hudson, Mrs. Bridges and Ruby from the original show. Sadly Angela Baddeley who played Mrs. Bridges died shortly after UD ended, so it never materialized.

Whatever happens I hope and pray that Zelensky comes out of it alive so he can continue to be a leader for the Ukrainians. He has really risen to the occasion. A standing ovation is nice and all, but I wish that we could give Ukraine something a little more substantial.
