Maybe Antonio Sabato Jr. can find him a construction job. Or they can both be carnival barkers together.

@Videnbas Wow, that seems extreme! TBH, I was never quite sure of what a shadow ban was, so I finally decided to look it up. You pointed out something that was amiss. It's really not that serious. It's not as if others hadn't noticed, everyone pretty much knew that the sequence of videos could often be out of order. They could've just corrected it and kept things moving. Unfortunately, I can't say that I am surprised since I have seen soap fans sometimes get up in arms over a critique, as if it will sink the entire series. I do wonder if someone made an error and felt pressured to cover their tracks. You'd be surprised by how some people in the entertainment field can chastise people for the tiniest of errors, just ask anyone who has ever worked for Scott Rudin. It's not always convenient but posting here, rather than under the video on YouTube is your best bet for uncensored discussion. Unfortunately, I am already beginning to see "Stan Wars" between various factions (Brooke fans vs. Caroline fans) in the comments section and it's utterly ridiculous. One of the more embarrassing elements of soap fandom, and there are already enough to go 'round. These episodes are over 30 years old and people are fighting over who Ridge loves more LOL.

Cynthia Nixon has another project, good for her. https://youtu.be/wKj1cMz3yfI

In terms of Shakespeare on screen, I am not certain but onstage, Washington is a beast, total command of the stage. He wouldn't be Will's sole competition though. I have no rooting interest in awards though since I am long past the point of looking for these award shows to validate anyone. Ellis to me, melded seamlessly into the role and had a immeasurable impact on the story. I'm so glad that Isha Price insisted on beefing up Oracene's role in this movie. You couldn't have told a complete story without her.

Big time publicist that he is, it's insane that he hasn't noticed Michael Fairman's channel or Maurice Benard's channel or, well anybody else's channel. With the 'Great Resignation' in effect, there are still plenty of people at home still and even delayed views from view shifting would still count. His channel is just not attracting any of them.

Nobody is going to take that chance if there is no guarantee that the interest is there, and those waning Locher Room video views ain't gonna do it. Days can do this because these will be first-run episodes. You can't do the same with a bunch of old episodes, not without a massive upgrade of the quality of episodes, the SoapClassics once did (and we know P&G didn't really want to make the effort to continue this). Better to do what B&B has been doing, run classic episodes 'As Is' on their own YouTube channel with ad breaks.

Soap fans have to be careful what they wish for. Many times fans have expressed their willingness to pay subscription fees for content, well they obviously heard you, lol. It's like those people on Twitter who say "I can't believe this app is free!" They may be joking but now twitter is trying to charge for certain features and folks are complaining. Well they're listening, lol and they heard you.

He definitely deserves a nomination ,but honestly, it's likely to be tough to win with the spectre of Denzel Washington doing Shakespeare and Andrew Garfield in a Lin-Manuel Miranda production, as well as Dominic Cumberbatch in a high-profile vehicle (although the Academy tends to hate Netflix). IMO, Aunjanue Ellis has a clear shot at the Supporting Actress category and she's already been quietly scooping up awards.

Besides an authoritarian type? I'm really not sure, but I admit to no longer really keeping a close watch on who is coming down the political pipeline.

This, in a nutshell, is my total problem with his channel: he is not shifting perception of the genre in any positive way, he's actually doing the opposite. People may think I am being ridiculous by stating this, but I have often wondered whether someone looking to go into some of these shows' classic libraries (ATWT/GL, for example) and re-consider because of the sagging numbers. I really do believe that archives like the Vault started by members of this message board sparked B&B to start releasing classic episodes via their YouTube channel, as well as PlutoTV starting a Y&R channel (although what they stream is far from the classics). Someone is always watching the numbers. They make considerations based on what they perceived as sparking interest and why they don't believe will. Fortunately for fans of Y&R and B&B, Days, etc., What Locher does or doesn't do on his channel won't affect the prospects of these soaps, one way or another since other vehicles have clearly proven that the interest is there but for fans of those poor abandoned P&G soaps, amateurish productions that get the slimmest of view counts only serves to confirm their judgements that few people care about these soaps. It really is crazy that he hasn't done a thing to try to improve. Can he not see the numbers? He now has like, less than half his average view count from last year's episodes.

Reading how the Tories could lose Shropshire to the (*looks closely*) Liberal Democrats, makes me wonder whether there are signs of life from that Party, or is it solely based on contempt for Johnson? Oops, that's North Shropshire.

It's not Fulton, it's Locher. His video views have dropped over several months and the drop off has been fairly consistent. Not only is his channel failing to attract new viewers, it's turning away those who used to be interested enough to click on to watch.

As we enter another anniversary of the horrendous school shooting of first graders at a school in Newtown CT, something has to be done. If it's considered a radical step, so be it. I don't know whether it will be successful, be we can just resign ourselves to the next school shooting.

If the Eileen Davidson livestream can't draw more than 10K views in 48 hours, then his program has really fallen off.

Thanks. At the time, it seemed as if I was being hard on Y&R (admittedly, I was) but it also felt like the push back against what I was trying to say was defending Y&R's shabby treatment of an actor who had given so much to the show. Personally, I know it's not exactly healthy to have your self-worth tied to a show but in such a crucial time, it may have been the one lifeline that he could have felt he was able to hold onto and the idea of that still kind of haunts me.

That was a good interview, but man, you all were right about the segment on KSJ, it was sad to get an account of his final days and how he had suffered. I still have yet to see the KSJ documentary. I had hoped it would be on Netflix or an easily accessible streaming platform. Has anybody seen the documentary?

I suggested this years ago. Not the bi-polar diagnosis but the fact that, having spent so much of his life on Y&R, it was tied up in his identity and seeing his role reduced had a deleterious effect on him, not to mention a job gave structure and purpose to his days, he could have used that, particularly after he lost his son, but people kept suggesting that it was best that he wasn't working at that time.

I blame Vogue magazine. Somewhere along SATC's early '00s run, the magazine decided that Carrie/SJP was their "It Girl", then 'It Queen' and it has yet to stop.

What struck me was that, with the silver locs, Rowell and Kasi Lemmons now share a sort of sisterly resemblance, which takes me back to when both women once portrayed the same character on As The World Turns in the 1980s. Now, if Tiffani Caesar shows up with blonde-ish or silvery locs, I will fall out! 😆

What are your thoughts on this? Do you believe this strategy will be effective? Or will the calculus change now that this tactic is being used against the U.S.' long running affair with gun rights?

Apparently, Cattrall favorited a tweet that shaded the first episode.

LOL. Someone in the replies said Peloton responded faster to Mr. Big than Carrie calling 9-1-1.

That photo is obviously from before Hubbard would portray Lucinda but Potter is listed as having been a Producer on ATWT, according to both IMDB and Wikipedia but the dates are not clear.
