Speaking of hellish, this man is among the worst of humanity so I am not surprised he's on the comeback trail.
And it's no surprise who's hired him....
Marjorie Taylor Greene must be one of the most vile creatures on earth. (I refuse to call her a human being).

Good writing!
That would really shock me.

I don't get it. The songs sound nothing like each other. So why are they suing? Because they share the same title?
If that's actually the case I can't see them have any leg to stand on. You surely can't copyright a title. If that was the case then we would see a whole lot of court cases.....

For me the most iconic soap matriarch has always been, and probably always will be, Annie Sugden from Emmerdale Farm. And just like Bert Bauer, who was mentioned in an earlier post, we saw a gradual development of Annie's character during her 22 years on the show. She started out as a no-nonsense, tough, terse woman. Hardened by years of struggle on the farm, with an alcoholic husband who spent most of his time in the pub with his friends. She was the head of the household, and everyone knew it. But over the years we saw her gradually mellow somewhat and allow a warmer, humorous side to shine through. Her friendship with Henry Wilks played a major part in that I think. That being said, she never lost her inner core. Throughout the years she remained the backbone of not only the Sugden family, but of the entire show. Always there to support her family and friends when they needed her, yet at the same time never afraid to let them know when she was displeased with their behaviour. She suffered more losses than most I think, losing her father, all her three children, three biological grandchildren, two step-grandchildren, two husbands (if you count her first with whose funeral the show began) two daughters-in-law and her best friend.
Even though she's been gone from the show for almost thirty years, except a few brief visits, to me she remains the very symbol of Emmerdale Farm. She epitomizes the first 20+ years of the show (its golden era) and will always be its most iconic character.

His win also means that Rafael Nadal now is tied with Steffi Graf in 3rd place on the all-time list with 22 GS singles titles.
Could he be the one that finally topples Margaret Court from her top position on that list? It's looking increasingly unlikely that Serena Williams will be able to do that.

How annoying to have missed this.....
June 1st, just a few days ago, marked the 50th anniversary of the release of People Need Love, the very first single from ABBA. (Although they weren't called ABBA at the time).

Congrats, Rafa! He’s now two ahead of Novak. The yearly grandslam is definitely possible now.
I'm not sure about that. I don't think Nadal, with his injury problems, is a realistic challenger at Wimbledon.

The women's tour is in desperate need of some colourful profiles. Looking at that ranking, it's filled with so many unfamiliar names.

Brooke finally sees Ridge for the waffling mama's boy he is and dumps him. Sadly it didn't last all that long, but this scene felt almost cathartic. I wish both Brooke and Taylor would do exactly this right now, and walk away from Ridge.
Brooke vs the Forrester during the Belief story. This is the Brooke I would like to see again, strong, intelligent and with a backbone.

I don't understand why everyone was so upset about Noah going to prison for his stalking. I thought that was like a rite of passage for the Dingles and that Charity would be proud of her son for carrying on the family tradition.
