CBS Mornings, the show that Gayle co-hosts did a profile piece on Dunnigan and Payne and it was pretty good. They spoke to relatives who helped to tell their stories.

TBH, I wasn’t in the mood to watch the WHCD last night but perhaps I might watch the replay (or not) today?

Hm, I seem to recall mentioning this as a distinct possibility in the wake of Brexit. It will be interesting to see if this will really come to pass.

Oh, I didn’t know about the luck aspect, that makes sense. Still…😂

😳😂 Why would your mom call her that, when Craig was the one that burned that shack down? He has. Those creepy gnomes in the background, I could do without though.

Robert Downey Jr. was once quoted as saying that he felt that prison had saved his life. He had to attend therapy sessions, including group therapy, and it helped him. Jail is not rehabilitative for a lot of people but RDJ clearly figured out a way to make effective use of his time in there.

I understand the urgency. It’s just a shame that there doesn’t seem to be any urgency in remedying the fact that the child tax credit lapsed and now the gains have essentially been lost, with a significant number of children slipping back into poverty or in danger of doing so.

Since Y&R didn’t really do anything with either character, I think the show should have at least tried to see if Anna Hamilton and Ravi Shapur had any romantic chemistry. I will never understand why B&B never gave Storm Logan a serious romantic pairing. Then again, until Clarke Garrison came along, it seemed as though no men other than Forrester men got any romantic pairings. Ethan Wayne had great chemistry with a number of female leads, from Joanna Johnson to Teri Ann Linn to Lauren Koslow. The show should have picked one, even briefly.

^^ and Caso is in the NYC tri-state area so he’s pretty close geographically to Locher, who’s in Jersey.

Ann Sward also seemed to have gotten considerable storyline under Marland’s pen, at a time when daytime soaps seemed more preoccupied with youth centered storylines. Sad, but it seems like they were waiting for Marland to pass away before booting and/or marginalizing those characters. Surprised that in all these reunions, no one has reached out to Caso to talk about his time at the helm.

Well, it’s on YouTube, so you can always check the replay. Wow, on that timing. Marland died in the spring and they fired Brown and Sward in the fall? That’s cold, man!

I had forgotten that Sayre was in Martha Byrne’s web soap Gotham, the web, which Brown dIrected. It seems as though Sayre regarded Brown as an elder stateswoman and looked to her for guidance in navigating the industry. It sounds like she also had very high regard for Brown as well.

God, the late 90s on ATWT was such a muddled mess at times.

Was she on contract when about an took over? I don’t have much recollection of the show’s dynamics during that time?

It would be a really good opportunity for someone else like Michael Fairman, to do something with a group too. I am watching part of the early part of the livestream tribute and did Martha say that Lisa was fired from ATWT? When did it happen?

Now that its been mentioned, many of those scenes were likely included in some of those SoapClassics collections, which makes it even weirder that the visual quality of those clips were so poor.

These clips should be of better visual quality. If P&G had an ounce of pride, someone would have seen what have offered access to better quality videos.

I am feeling for Maeve, you can see she’s going through it! With the loss of Michael Tylo and Lisa Brown.

Where is JWS? Did Locher ask Scott Bryce? Oh there he is.

It’s likely been seized by the government. After making a bunch of renovations that the house probably didn’t even need, he couldn’t sell it at asking price and the only interest the house seems to have gotten is from squatters. Seems as though Becker had tried to get out of paying the loan by declaring bankruptcy, while hiding his considerable assets, which is what led to this mess in the first place. Apparently, Becker further inflamed matters (at least as far as the judge was concerned) by expressing no signs of humility. What might work on the tennis court might not work in the judicial court. Seized by the government or whatever bank holds the loan, if the bank hasn’t already sold the loan to some other entity as part of some investment. Banks are tricky too.

A life of excess, in every conceivable way. Had he just sold the mansion in Mallorca at a loss, he could have avoided this. Yes, a loss would have been stinging but it would have been so much better than where he has ended up going through. The lawyer though, may be reaching a bit in making such a dire pronouncement. Robert Downey Jr. went to prison and actually learned and grew from it, if Becker does the same (and you’re correct, he must accept responsibility for his actions), he can also rebound from this.

Becker has been sentenced to two and a half years for his fraud case. Oh how the mighty have fallen! https://uk.news.yahoo.com/boris-becker-former-wimbledon-champion-xxx-over-breaking-bankrupcy-rules-145022023.html?guccounter=1&guce_referrer=aHR0cHM6Ly9kdWNrZHVja2dvLmNvbS8&guce_referrer_sig=AQAAAAPhNic-9whN5Wkrxx5gcCv5U_IGdZKGpDuVxoWeinnKsOZDGhRtXpsspU6Gzi-0yH7A2ZF3hpBfF7wYDHi8X7_Hm4FyoyOyL_UTvksEoN4EAI4sunChBPMdmdcil5GVG17g42GDln6wfWBVLQownugRY1mOwvNX5Htt65Nel6w1

It's amazing what Congress will decide merits money and what they decide does not.

I still think it would be interesting if someone would interview him about that time period. What's his name never really asks the actors specifically about the timeline of when they leave their respective soaps, so not him lol.
