I Am A Swede

And then Brad Bell repeated this with Ridge and Brooke. That was also clearly a rape, even though he backtracked after it happened.

Which is made even more disgusting by the fact that Caroline already was a victim of rape before this.

These last two episodes dealing with the aftermath of the twins' deaths have been phenomenal. Bouquets all around to everyone involved. 💐

Damn, this show just broke my heart....the twins are dead. 😭 And once again the MVP was Toke Townley. He's unbeatable in the more quiet, emotional moments. Grandad is often played as loud and irascible, but damn Toke can bring it when the story calls for it. 😭 And the often prickly Amos made me laugh a bit through the tears when he sent snooping reporters looking for a comment from Henry on a wild goose chase to a non-existing establishment. 😈

On to 1976..... The very first episode of the year, and there's a crack in the wall at the Woolpack. I didn't realize that the subsidence story started that early. This will of course lead to Amos and Henry having to move the pub to a new place, coinciding with the show switching locations from Arncliffe to Esholt.

Not someone I've ever listened to, but there's no denying his status as a legend. R.I.P

Oh my God. 😲 R.I.P. It's almost starting to feel like 2016 with all the high-profile deaths recently.

Hmm, can there possibly be a connection..... 🤔 The dates match pretty good.

I posted this in the ATWT thread as well, but for those who don't visit that. Does anyone have more info? If this is true it's huge news. A true daytime icon, and the original daytime vixen. https://www.grocefuneralhome.com/obits/eileen-fulton/ Eileen Fulton, an actress, singer and author whose long career on the daytime drama As The World Turns earned her a Daytime Emmy Lifetime Achievement Award, died on July 14 in Asheville, N.C. after a period of declining health. Fulton was born Margaret Elizabeth McLarty in Asheville on September 13, 1933. Her father, James B. McLarty, was a Methodist minister who served congregations in western North Carolina. Her mother, Margaret Glenn McLarty, was a public school teacher. After graduating from Greensboro College with a bachelor’s degree in music in 1956, Fulton performed in the outdoor drama The Lost Colony in Manteo, N.C., before moving to New York to pursue her acting career, a move strongly supported by her parents. Fulton studied acting with Sanford Meisner and Lee Strasberg at the Neighborhood Playhouse and later studied dance with Martha Graham. She began using the stage name Eileen Fulton and in 1960 was cast in the film Girl of the Night, co-starring with Anne Francis. In 1960 she was cast in what would become the defining role of her career, portraying Lisa Miller on the CBS soap opera As The World Turns. The character would eventually be married eight times. Fulton played the role with only brief interruptions until the show was cancelled in 2010, making her one of the longest running soap opera actors in the United States. Fulton’s eagerness to play Lisa as a villainess contributed to the character’s popularity and therefore its longevity. She was inducted into the Soap Opera Hall of Fame in 1998 and was awarded a Daytime Emmy Lifetime Achievement Award in 2004. For a time early in her career she not only was appearing in As The World Turns, which at that time was broadcast live, she was simultaneously appearing on Broadway in Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf and off-Broadway in the long-running musical The Fantasticks. A talented writer and singer as well as an actress, Fulton performed a cabaret act for many years in venues around New York and Los Angeles. In 1970, she co-authored her first autobiography, How My World Turns. In 1995 she co-authored a second autobiography, As My World Still Turns, to celebrate her 35th anniversary on As the World Turns. She also authored a series of mystery novels. Fulton retired in 2019 and moved to Black Mountain, N.C. She is survived by her brother, Charles Furman McLarty (Karen) of Black Mountain; niece Katherine Morris (David) and their children, Everly Ann Morris and Easton Lane Morris of Fort Mill, S.C.; and sister-in-law Chris Page McLarty of Camden, Maine. She was pre-deceased by her parents and her brother, James Fulton McLarty. Groce Funeral Home in Asheville is handling funeral arrangements. Services will be held at 3pm on Saturday, August 9 at Central United Methodist Church in Asheville, N.C. The family requests that in lieu of flowers, contributions be made to the Reverend James B. McLarty Music Scholarship at Brevard College in Brevard, N.C., or the Margaret Glenn McLarty ’28 and Eileen Fulton Music Scholarship Fund at Greensboro College in Greensboro, N.C.

Has anyone else seen this? https://www.grocefuneralhome.com/obits/eileen-fulton/ Her wikipedia page also has her as deceased right now, but I can't seem to find anything else about it.

I almost missed this.... Alan Bergman, Oscar-winning lyricist, dies at 99 "The way we were" is maybe their most famous collaboration, but I think Barbra's rendition of this beautiful song is my favourite... “Alan Bergman was not only a prolific lyricist, and incredible husband, father and grandfather, he was family to me— a father figure. We met over 60 years ago, and we never stopped loving each other and collaborating together. My last conversation with him was about a wonderful song he was working on. At 99 his creative gifts still flowed. I like to think he’s again in Marilyn’s warm embrace and I’m sure they have started collaborating again on another song! I will miss them both.—Barbra”

A new era has begun. October 1975, episode 261 and the premiere for the classic sunset opening.
