Uh, that was my idea. I think the only YouTube channel that would be able to post unbothered is any show’s official YouTube channel.

Elon Musk’s entire brand is just mess mess mess.

It’s very interesting because Netflix lost nearly a million subscribers this year, but you know what type of streaming service is doing very well? Free Ad-Supported Television A.K.A. “FAST”. The Pluto TV and Freevee type streamers. P&G could be doing their own version of FAST and running ads for their own products. They could even run retro commercials on a regular basis and fans would watch. It would be akin to comfort food. Have soap stars film a brief introduction to announce episodes that were really groundbreaking or were a fan favorite. Have fans vote for their favorite episodes beforehand. There are genuine possibilities to make use of the P&G library. Hell, even the music for pivotal scenes, have segments where the musicians talk about how a certain song was used for episodes or characters. Do you think Jermaine Jackson or Billy Ocean will turn down the chance to remind people about their hits? We all have seen an artist’s catalog get reactivated because the music was featured on a show. Who wouldn’t want to hear about Gloria Loring’s creative process and how “Friends and Lovers” came to be?

You mean P&G? Or the collector. Unless episodes are in HD quality, I Don think episodes would sell very well, at least not consistently. This is why B&B is streaming their classic episodes on their own YouTube channel and even there, people often complain about the poor visual quality. By the standards of today, I don’t see many people buying anything less than 1080p quality. The SoapsClassics people understood this, which is why every single DVD that they sold was in such clear visual quality.

OMG, WLIW a PBS channel is replaying Day 8 of the January 6 hearings and just showed the Josh Hawley segment with him raising his fist, immediately followed by him fleeing.

Sheryl Sandberg, whoever is replacing her and Mark Zuckerberg will all be giving depositions in relation to the lawsuit involving the Cambridge Analytica scandal. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/technology/mark-zuckerberg-and-sheryl-sandberg-set-to-be-deposed-about-cambridge-analytica/ar-AAZSd42

Thanks for including me in your post @victoria foxton. If only someone at P&G were as thoughtful as you, thinking of the fans of this show.

This is an Op-Ed but from what I read, not a single lie was told.

The pauses in that Cipillone deposition, Lawd, I thought my iPad had frozen.

Same. From what I read in Spanish language blogs, commentary, it was very harsh. That was when the news of the allegation was originally reported. I haven’t read anything since then though.

Ex-manager and she’s suing Martin, so there’s that. It’s just really tangled and being hit with all these negative allegations with people who have supposedly known him for a long time just paints a unfortunate picture. He’s doing something at the Hollywood Bowl, so for now, there doesn’t seem to be any negative blowback.

I just saw the headline (it’s been a pretty busy day) and didn’t one of Ricky’s managers quit over these allegations, claiming that she was tired of protecting Martin? What was that about? Strange indeed. And makes me wonder whether there may be lasting damage from this since the allegations were so heinous.

With all the rabid antivaxxers out there I knew it was only a matter of time until this happened.

Folks have stopped wearing masks and this is what’s going on now.

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.
