Oh absolutely. I agree. I am someone who likes verification.

Yeah, but that allegedly happened in the 1970s, right? I just don’t think a company could get away with that in 2010 or 2012 or 2015, with environmental laws having evolved into what they are. Dumont dumping happening in the 70s could be entirely possible but P&G dumping in 2013 seems unlikely.

The past year for former soap stars for P&G soaps in particular has been bitterly mournful. Kathryn Hays, Lisa Bown, Michael Tylo, Marnie Schulenburg, Ray Liotta, Jerry ver Dorn and now Anne Heche as well as a host of others.

Did everybody read that search warrant? Wild that we’re back to reading criminal charges and such at this stage. Again. Just wild to see the labels of the boxes and receptacles that were seized. A box with Macron’s name on it?? Was that because both Melanie and Ivanka were making googly-eyes at him during that state visit? TFG is very petty if that’s the case.

Even disposal of master reels involves a process. NYC has anti-dumping laws. You can’t just dump thousands of chunks of plastic and tape in the East River. The cops will come to your door. I have listened to those livestreams in the past and to be respectful, sometimes stories get thrown around which are later discovered to be not the most accurate. I am not calling it intentional but it has happened. Also, what of Another World? Guiding Light? Edge Of Night? Why no talk of them? Was there something about ATWT that made them especially ripe for mass destruction? That would be a massive dump and would likely cost a good amount of money, if you don’t want to violate environmental laws.

Brought to you by the streaming platform that currently streams episodes from two daytime soaps.

Someone may have already posted this clip in another thread.

This tweeted comment just encapsulates what many of us are feeling.

Salman Rushdie stabbed in an attack onstage. As someone who has attended an event like this, I am more than unnerved right now.

Despite the smiles and occasional giggling, Eileen looks slightly uncomfortable. She covers it well though. The interviewer is presenting “leading” questions, making slightly judgmental comments on soap opera actors, which Davidson sidestepped as well as could be expected. Not the most insightful line of questioning from the interviewer, and he’s getting the responses his questions deserved.

Admittedly, even when I worked with video archives, I hadn’t heard of any major institutions destroying their video archives at the end of the 20th or beginning of the 21st centuries, which, in the era of broadcast affiliates and VCRs seems quite preposterous that there would be no remnants left, but if folks want to take the words of folks who pop up on the boards, out of the blue, every now and then to function as crazymakers then bounce…go awf.🤷🏾‍♀️

If Peacock can offer what Disney+ can offer (which frankly, no one else can), then it will continue to be a challenge as it currently is for Netflix, HBO Max and Discovery+, etc. In other words, every streaming service needs to find their own version of the MCU and they’ll be sitting pretty. 😂

This is very sad. Whether she refused help or didn’t get adequate intervention, she didn’t receive/take the help she obviously needed. May there be a way for her son and the rest of her family to be comforted during what must be such a painful period of loss. There were reports that there were narcotics in her system. You just hate to see the loss of a life come down to this. Hopefully, at the very least, the woman who was injured in the house wreck will survive and be made whole somehow, so there won’t be another tragedy on top of tragedy.

AG to Trump fanatics:

Having worked with video archives I can say that it is not as simple or as easy to dispose of archives as some may think. And there is a cost to that as well and it doesn’t come cheap. That’s all I’m going to say on the matter.

Serena’s statement spurred a rush on tickets for the U.S. Open that exceeded the last 16 days of ticket sales combined.

Not speaking about TPIR but Jeopardy and Wheel Of Fortune always seemed odd to me, as I was more familiar with them being early evening programs. I realize they air late afternoon in some television markets but their place within the Daytime Emmys telecast always seemed incongruous. I am not sure that I ever saw them on the Primetime Emmys either though. Makes me wonder, with the popularity of game shows like Jeopardy and the cultural capital is has amassed in the last decade, if maybe there was a move in the works to extricate the Jeopardy brand, in particular, away from a fading brand.

Considering the well of criticisms I heard from members of the Filipino community online, I didn’t expect the movie to do well. There was a particular abundance of ire towards Jo Koy, in particular.

Even though I can’t really express much familiarity with his work, that clip of interviews with the exes of Armie Hammer is chilling. Also, it seems as if that Surviving R. Kelly docuseries has really opened up a whole sub genre of television.

It was bound to happen when the monthly subscription rates rose so sharply over the last two decades.

With how things look on the East coast in terms of scheduling, Y&R looks to be the immediate beneficiary of Days’ removal from network television, at least in the short term. Beyond that, I don’t watch daytime soaps anymore so I couldn’t say what will happen to the three remaining daytime soaps. Hopefully Peacock doesn’t follow the Netflix model of hastily dumping shows.

They should have posted a longer clip but this performance and the atmosphere were pretty special.

The day comes for every athlete, but the good news is that she won’t be disappearing out of sight because Serena has got many other irons in the fire.

This is awful.
