Yeah, I know and it doesn't always mean that they are ashamed or hate their time. I'm thinking that Sallows likely sees it as too insignificant an amount of time to take up value whitespace on a CV.

Colby's in Harlem heyyy!🙌🏾She's in town for the Black Health Matters: Harlem Health Summit. It's part of Harlem Week and the Harlem Week Health Summit & Expo.

It seems as if Jesse Lee Soffer has joined Shemar Moore in the CBS procedural pipeline. Soffer will also be getting a producer credit. https://variety.com/2026/tv/news/chicago-pd-jesse-lee-soffer-matt-olmstea-strike-force-cbs-1236833290/

Tracy Sallows has had a highly prolific theater career. Interesting on her list of credits, her appearance on ATWT doesn't appear anywhere on her resume, but her appearance on the short-lived God Friended Me did.😵‍💫

If it doesn't work...we still have vintage ADW but it's better to have a strong vision that leaves a lasting imprint on the culture than to have a couple of seasons of meandering fluff imo.🤷🏾‍♀️

To be honest, I only found that they had been dating when it was over, so I didn't really process it in the immediate aftermath but reading her memoir really made me think about the obvious imbalance in the relationship due to the fact that they were at pivotal ages when they started going out. She was still a minor and he was an adult. It was wild to really digest that. And she stated in her memoir that she believed he had gr00med her. I agree. Since it is streaming on Netflix, I really hope that the producers and writers are uncompromising with the vision. I've had my fill of shows that pretend to be about the Black experience but end up making a ton of compromises just to be considered palatable to various factions. I mostly liked what Felicia Pride did with Bel Air, at least she took some creative risks, so I am looking forward to seeing what she will do with A Different World.

You didn't read her memoir, did you? Her comments on Wanya were...uh. 🫨Suffice it to say, I'd be surprised if that collaboration happened.

For those who are not on that app FKA twitter:

Between The Landlord and Coming Home, Hal Ashby was such a prolific filmmaker.

Karina Arroyave (Bianca Marquez Walsh, As The World Turns) appears in The Only Living Pickpocket in New York with John Turturro.

This is hilarious yet endearing.

He tried his level best but the writing was just not there for him, he is still compelling to watch there. Faith Ford posted this on her Instagram.

A deeply moving memorial service. In my cultural tradition services can (how do I put this politely?) extend for much longer. Although this was briefer, it was very impactful. Scott's son Jackson is tall like his dad! It seems like he and his mom Jodi are surrounded by lots of family. Blessings to them! I recognized those Westport woods!

today was the first day I clicked onto an episode and dipped. I just could not summon the emotion to care and I don't even need a daily dose of edge of my seat storytelling but I don't want to be fed a steady diet of boredom only to receive morsels of entertainment on occasion. I'm on the edge of indifference now.

This quasi-ménage à trois has to be the most insipid, boring, charmless triangle I have seen on a screen, large or small. Why is chatter about chemistry-free couples occupying so much screen time? Most of these scenes today seemed repetitive, except for Anita and Vernon finding out about Naomi carrying the BRCA-gene (though it seems like we are on an endless doom-loop of disease hitting Black women on this show right now, which feels depressing) and the coming together of Izaiah and the Chief, which feels like a modest step but I don't mind it since it does seem like something that is worth dramatizing onscreen.
