This has always been my assertion to. I mean, Scandal seems like a way more diverse, edgy Capitol with actual network support and a much bigger budget.

Manchin’s resistance is also threatening to put the kibosh on the global tax deal and undermine Janet Yellen, who negotiated with countries for months to get countries to come to an agreement. How Joe Manchin Left a Global Tax Deal in Limbo

OMG, who did this?🤣😂

Yeah, I figured that once Y&R made that push to #1 in the ratings, they could effectively call the shots. The people who run CBS daytime (and daytime in general) were never really good at long-term thinking. They were really about maximizing profits as heavily as possible in the near term.

Okay, so I’ve seen it already then. Those P&G folks are hellbound for putting us through all this confusion. That was hella rude. So young back then, I didn’t realize that those promos heralding a new soap meant the demise of another. In my defense, I wasn’t up on the soap production news back then. I only occasionally picked up a copy of TV Guide (probably where I found out the news about Capitol being cancelled the day it went off the air).

Thanks @DRW50I haven’t been able to watch any episodes of vintage daytime dramas lately but hopefully I can make some time to watch this, as it appears to be from 1986, which for me, was a top tier year for ATWT. That looks like Jess Walton in the screen grab! Even as a young child, I had great sympathy for Kelly. Her transition from that character to bodacious Jill Foster Abbott just exemplifies just how good Walton is.

This is cool for Maxime.

There is an article that is talking about how strong the U.S. dollar is right now. There are upsides and downsides to this. One downside is that other currencies are finding turmoil. One downside for U.S. companies that have most of their enterprise abroad is that the majority of their sales are in other countries where the currencies are weaker, so companies like Apple and Nike have worse revenues than in the past. I guess, anyone who can afford the high airfare to Europe will find that they will pay less for their stay once they land there. When you see that the Russian ruble has also been performing well because of oil, it makes so much sense for countries to invest in renewables, if only they would do so.

That affiliate promo with Michael Tylo and Lisa Brown together really hit differently.

Reading the full extent of the allegations, rather than hints like the People magazine article alluded to…it’s so much worse than I could have imagined and the article on the People magazine blog was already pretty bad.

And with delay (understandable) however brief, a new wave of conspiracy theory is on the rise. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-investigation-new-york-attorney-general-depositions-delayed-after-death-of-ivana-trump/

Same. Also add for the way she needled “Melanie” to great effect.

Why won’t the so-called progressive party go after Mancin? Manchin. Mancin, whoever. He’s a blight.

^^While the media focuses exclusively on Joe Biden, there’s another Joe who continually puts the kibosh on Democrats’ agenda. Here’s another NYT article via MSN News portal, which can be freely accessed.

A cardiac arrest (as suspected) preceded her fall. Such a shame. At 73, she seemed to have more life to live and out of all the Trumps, she clearly was the better at business. And also as suspected, the conspiracy theorists are at it with a quickness.

When my brother used to tell me stories like these when I was a teenager, I used to think he was exaggerating. Obviously, no more.

I am still waiting for someone to interview SBH on her work on ATWT.

Does ABC have a broadcast contract with the people at the AELTC to broadcast the tournament, or is it just something they work out amongst themselves with Disney/ESPN? I guess I am asking whether ABC will think it’s worth their time to broadcast matches next year, or will they leave it all on ESPN?9

Here’s my answer. It happened this week.

Those interactions between Tonio and Lucinda were so entertaining. Maybe some were unintentionally funny but they were really entertaining, particularly when it became clear that Lucinda had no use for Tonio because the marriage between Sierra and Tonio was coming completely undone. The fact that Tonio wouldn’t go quietly was pure entertainment. I appreciate that Peter Boynton was game to portray such a venal character. Speaking of diversity and representation, I only wish P&G would have let the Franklins be great. What’s his name Locher room guy didn’t ask Tonya Pinkins about the Franklins in his livestream with her. Some top notch B’way talent in that onscreen family.

For a similar reason, it’s why Hunter Biden always trends right around the time there is another January 6th hearing.

Didn’t Andy Murray with the bionic hip bagel Opelka recently?

That match made me want to watch less tennis, not more. It was like watching two punch drunk boxers stagger against the ropes of the ring while no one falls down for the count but you wish someone would. I rarely watch an Isner match, they are so lackluster. He has to be playing someone else that I really want to see play, because he alone doesn’t do anything for me as a fan of tennis.

Yeah, I never got onto the Portmanteau (I think that’s what it’s called?) wagon. It seems to minimize the value of each character as an individual and yeah, to me, it sounds kind of childish🤷🏾‍♀️. No offense to people who do use them, I know it can often be shorthand or a term of endearment, of sorts but when you think of these epic, classic films (Casablanca, e.g.), no one is creating these blended names for these characters.😂 EDT. The original idea for a portmanteau is actually clever when it means something (smoke+fog=smog) but for characters’ names, nah, don’t like it.
