I have never been a fan by any stretch of the imagination but when accused, it seems to be a standard line of defense to deny. Sharapova’s case was an interesting case, though, because initially, she did admit culpability, before reversing her stance. Speaking of Sharapova, her fans appear to be very salty at what they view as kid glove treatment of Halep in comparison to what they regard as brutal treatment of their fave.

BBC came up with the title (not me). https://www.bbc.com/culture/article/20221018-are-soaps-in-danger-of-extinction?ocid=ww.social.link.twitter

I was being facetious when I posed this question but apparently Pam Shriver decided to run with this theory. I would have had a bit more respect for her on this had she just blamed the tortellini.

Is anyone surprised by this?

Speaking of things that we don’t seem to hear much about-

So who’s “Simo” gonna blame…Patrick?

Her integrity is still in doubt as far as I am concerned and I can’t say that I will ever trust her judgment overall. For now, at least she made a judgment of value. This time.

^^I always loved how Lucinda doted on Bianca. People might criticize how Lucinda was supposedly made the controlling, out of control heavy presence in both her daughters lives but I contend that her relationship with Bianca offered a different view, especially since Bianca willingly received Lucinda’s affection, in a way that Lily and Sierra sometimes found smothering.

This series doesn’t seem to have gotten many views but some of you may find the discussion interesting. There is actually a more recent discussion featuring this woman Elana Levine with The National Arts Club but the unfortunate issues with the audio make it a challenge to listen to. I am not interested in posting in other soaps threads, anyone who wants to can feel free to post/embed video from the original link.

Marie really looks fantastic here.

Just came across this on YouTube. Streaming live on October 27th at you guessed it, 2 pm EST.

I’ve been debating whether to mention this because it is, in essence, a rumor but years ago, there was a rumor that drinking may have been the reason for Guy’s abrupt departure from a play called The Violet Hour that ran on Broadway in the early ‘00s. I remember hearing it but hoping it wasn’t true.

Was Maggie still on the canvas when Cal Randolph and Marie Kovacs were murdered? I often wonder about the evolution of that story? Did it begin with one possible conclusion and end another way? This is why interviewing someone like a Susan Bedsow-Horgan would be invaluable, she might be able to clarify the timeline. There was a time after the Dobsons, before Marland that there was a team doing the writing. It would be good to know how long that period lasted and what Wes the comings and goings at that time and who was making the decisions during that time. Like, was that in-between period used by execs to trim the cast? I feel like he got Meg Snyder who could be fairly complex at times but that may have been due to knowing the actress prior to her arrival. Can someone please interview SBH already? And also, why doesn’t anyone ask more of these actors if they have some of their old episodes on video? It could help fill in the blanks. What about Charles and Patti Dizenzo? When’s the last time anybody interviewed them?

From the time I got on this board, you’ve seemed pretty chill @Errol and fairly even-keeled even when things get hectic. I have learned a WHOLE LOT since I have arrived on this board and 90% of it has been fun for me. I was someone who was mainly concerned with scripts, the writing process and actors’ interpretations of the scripts. I knew some basic show history, but being on this board, reading interviews and learning about backstage and BTS dynamics, some juicy, has really expanded what I know about the genre over the years.

You’re very welcome. Finding the gift links for paywalled news articles are pretty much the only reason why I venture there these days. It’ll be a shame when Twitter implodes once/if Musk buys it.

Thanks. I have been overwhelmed , I still am but it’s usually comforting to catch up with you all.😊

Aww. Rafa had seemed like a nervous wreck before. I guess it was a challenging pregnancy for his wife? Glad the baby finally came.

Wow, a decade! Time sure flies.

Happy Anniversary/Birthday SON. May you have many many more! I think I joined 2011 0r 2012? 2012.

They are using examples of Cori Bush as if she is politically representative of Democrat/Black Democratic women when she is not. Lauren Underwood would be more accurate an example of the vast majority of Democrats who are Black women, pragmatic and about getting the work done. I can’t and won’t speak to Bush’s situation but I will say that this is not the “own” or “gotcha” that right-wingers might believe it is.

Your welcome. Originally, I had read the article on the Seattle Times website but noticed there were no audio links, which sent me searching on Twitter. You don’t have to login, just type in twitter(dot)com/explore, copy and paste the title of the article in the search bar and scroll for a gift link. Sometimes you find one, sometimes not but for the most popular headlines, there are usually subscribers posting gift links. How did PA end up with two such horrid candidates? They need to choose better. No doubt, they are trying to drown out the story of their favored GA Senate candidate Hershel Walker and his desire to get an ex-girlfriend two abortions in two years, despite his claims of being rigidly anti-abortion.

Did you ever get to hear the audio? This is why I often look for a gift link first, even before going to archive.ph because the archive often blocks audio and even some graphics. Searching for a gift link is the one enduring use I actually have for twitter at this time.
