Yes, I agree and for years I have been saying the same thing in regards to P&G soaps like As The World Turns. I once worked as a liaison to an archive for a performance art institution and I am still flabbergasted when I hear that any company neglects their archive. It’s time consuming sure, but so worthwhile.

Wasn’t there someone on this board years ago who used to mock her by quoting Phyllis as saying my “huzzband” and “dotter” when saying husband and daughter?

POTUSes #44 and 46 are speaking about the ACA a.k.a.ObamaCare.

ICYMI, the latest developments on immigration.

Whew, you hung in there a lot longer than me because I was through with this nonsense years ago. It’s so bad and you’re right, it’s incredibly lazy!

With all the violence occurring daily in some section of world, it’s often difficult to keep up but we should never forget the waves of indiscriminate gun violence that plagues the U.S. on a constant basis. by the way, I often look for links on SM where you can read the article free of firewalls. I don’t personally know these people. I don’t even follow most of them. TheIr posts simply provide a free, unfettered link to the article.

Who are the not-so-smart people staying on a waitlist for this nonsense?

I have never heard of this guy but then again, I guess I don’t follow any misinformation specialists.

Interesting that a political shift leftward is attracting investment to a European country.

The only one that Smith really has to make amends to is Chris Rock. All the folks screaming about “what about the children who were watching” don’t seem to realize that at those dismal ratings, hardly anyone was even watching let alone young, impressionable children, who, even if they live on the West Coast were likely to be playing video games not watching this overlong ceremony. But yeah, the Academy awards committee has a real problem with relevance or looming irrelevance, and it’s not going away anytime soon.

Maybe I don’t pay as much attention to social media as I used to because I haven’t heard any calls for the character to be killed off. At least not from people who watch the actual series.

JMO but I doubt the Academy would have expelled Will, they would likely have suspended him for a year or two. It’s unlikely that he would have won another Oscar for acting anyway, so I doubt he is that pressed about his departure. And his leaving simply means he won’t be eligible to vote for nominees, he can still be a nominee in future, should lightning strike twice. Hopefully the media can move on to other things, I mean Alec Baldwin shot and killed someone and I don’t think that issue has been resolved as it pertains to what restitution has been made to her family.

The casting is really good imo. I actually think the actor who plays Carlton is good at playing angst, which is what I think they wanted Carlton to be like for most of the first season. Like @Noel, I didn’t get any type of vibe that Will would be eliminated since the story of Bel Air is about his life there. I don’t think they will kill Will off at all. What happens with the real life celebrity has nothing to do with what goes on with this series.

Filming out of sequence makes It much easier to group scenes when it comes time for editing in the post, which also means that it is more cost effective. I can imagine, however that it would mess with an actor’s sense of continuity, especially if an actor has done a very intense scene, or has to begin with a very intense, having done something completely different in an out of sequence set of scenes shot previously. That screen shot is hilarious. Should I watch this episode? I still have yet to see it.

This is surely an insignificant issue but I can never get a dark screen on this site. Not with Android and now, not with iPad. Is there a way for me to fix this? Am I even in the correct thread?😟

IAL got points for their cast alone. It was a cute little sitcom. The humor was lukewarm but cozy simply because the cast was made up of actors who could deliver (well, most of them, as you stated).

Naomi Osaka heading to her first final in a year, after beating Belinda Bencic.

Oof. I wonder whether there could be more stories like the one Paul Rodriguez described?

The thought of Allie's motives in wanting to get closer to the Abbott family, namely Jack, being suspicious was the first thing I thought of when I read about this character. I can't believe they are not writing it this way! Those are some of the most interesting kinds of characters on soaps, especially a Bell soap, which this soap seems to barely resemble anymore. It would give Allie some agency as a character, if viewers weren't quite sure of her motives, at least at first. Give her an air of mystery. And I think it would have been so much better to keep Keemo just within close range.

There is a way that Keemo would have added even more complexity if Allie was torn between loyalty to her father and wanting to build a relationship with Jack. There was no need to kill Keemo, who didn't even need to be onscreen to present a conflict. Also, WTH does putting Nate in a suit have to do with the building of three corporate centers. Does Josh even know that Nate is a Hastings? I guess he chooses to conveniently forget that there was ever a Barber family. SMH

😂 Or her twin sister Deveny (faux Angela from B&B).

TBH, I am very dubious on the claim that he was asked to leave as it seems to have been made belatedly, after a different claim had been made. JMO but the Academy knows they're being criticized for allowing Will to accept his award and give a speech onstage and on camera and are self-conscious about appearing like they weren't proactive about the situation, which we know they weren't. They were probably relying on Chris to press charges and Chris being Black and probably imagining both he and Will getting shot by police should he contact them, elected not to take that type of action.

According to TMZ (usually I don't give the time to but somehow it came across my TL), the Academy lied about asking Will to leave. This is why I stated that there are conflicting statements on this.

This nonsense was still going on?!
