The won't leave this girl alone. Now so much hate about the Celine Dion thing. Am I the psychopath that I don't see that Taylor NEEDS to bow down and kiss Celine Dion's feet. She won a GRAMMY. It's her moment. 

And I am sure she has given plenty of love and respect to Celine backstage.

People are acting like they expected Taylor to give the Grammy to Celine.

Absurd.

 

Sometimes it really is ridiculous how people seem to actively look for stuff to be upset about.

The show is just stale period. 

Eric marrying another Logan? Jesus he went through all the Logan sisters. What a dirty scumbag sugar daddy Eric is. They should've killed him off.

I don't think he's been involved with Katie.

"Fall up the stairs" comes from ATWT, where character Liz Talbot (Betsy's mother) died from a ruptured spleen after "falling up the stairs." It's always been my understanding that she fell while running up the stairs, but describing it as "falling up the stairs" is more quirky/interesting, so that's what the anecdotes stuck with. Another part of the story claims that Irna killed Liz off because she objected to actress Jane House appearing nude onstage in a play, but Liz was already recast to Judith McGilligan by the time she died.

I read somewhere (I think it was in The Soap Opera Encyclopedia by Gerard J. Waggett) that Irna tried to kill off Liz earlier, for the reason you mentioned, but public outcry made P&G stop her. When Jane House had left the role Irna finished the job.

A "who's the daddy"-story maybe?   

But true, that expression makes Hope more likely. Mother and daughter making the same "mistake"....

I doubt that spoiler involves Brooke. With Taylor gone there's no story in her messing up again. Luna or Hope seem to be more likelier candidates.

I really dislike when people think of their opinions as the absolute truth, and treat other people's opinions accordingly.

The thing is, Alyssa Milano did Shannen Doherty a favor by getting her fired, because "Charmed" was such a wretched show.

That might be, but it was still a job, and a paycheck.....

Maybe we can figure this out. 

Off the top of my head I looked up 4 African-American actors:

Petronia Paley at AW 1981

Morgan Freeman at RH 1981, at Texas 1981, at AW 1982

Al Freeman, Jr. at OLTL 1972

Laurence Fishburn at OLTL 1974 (He was a child at the time so he may be a first African-American child actor, maybe.)

Now who knows someone prior to 1972?

 

Both Ruby Dee and Cicely Tyson was on Guiding Light in the 1960s.

@OpportunisticSlut That scene to start the thread was probably the nadir of Ronn Moss as an actor.

He is probably the only actor on daytime who's acting got progressively worse the longer he played his character.

To be fair to Ronn he, like the rest of B&B's cast, had to deal with writing that also got progressively worse over the years. And unlike some of his colleagues his acting skills (or lack thereof) couldn't handle the poor quality of the writing.
