Heartbreaking but this needs to be done.

I wished ATWT would have stayed closer to its homespun roots instead of trying to go all Glam. The soaps all insisted on going 'Big 80s' and I think it was a big mistake for the budgets down the road. Sure, it added glamor and seemed to be in keeping with the times back then but when you really think about it, it turned out to be completely unsustainable and gave the impression that the sets had to get even more grandiose over time in order to keep up, when it reality, a good clean refurbished set might have been as good or better. I am currently watching a few episodes from 1994 and the sets are big and grandiose but they did not age well. Fashions looks awful and garish. Then again, the clothes are boxy and terrible too.

Within the first two minutes I realize that I've seen this episode somewhere, can't remember where though. This is the opening of the La Placa, Kim and Nick's place, right? Someone posted this last summer, I think.

The trending topic will likely fade out by day's end. Still, Biden better choose wisely when it comes to a running mate, preferably someone who is young sharp and has the gift of oratory because Joe is seriously lacking in those areas and the challenges are only going to increase from here.

#JoeBidenIsARacist has been trending on social media apparently. What gaffe has Joe made this time?

Racism is killing this country.

Biden likely has a lengthy short-list of candidates facing vetting. The media loves to get people riled up by creating a horse race narrative.

Oh no, poor Marnie! She was so entertaining on the livestream. Prayers for her to get successful treatment. That is very tragic news.

Bloop!

Retro-fitting and regulating the systems so that these hospitals can get back to providing health services to as many non-Covid patients as they did before while making contingencies for the new reality seems so daunting! In some senses, I think most hospitals and clinics will need a complete overhaul of their pre-pandemic systems as some had gaping holes in the level of care to begin with.

If I come across the scene, I will definitely post it here. Not sure how much I can take of this either, tbh, the sets and the lighting look dystopian. I think that Susan's home (a.k.a. Dusty's old carriage house) is the only attractive looking set. Everything else looks bleak and the "new" Fashions is an eyesore! Quite a few of the storylines are depressing, relationships are cratering. Was this a time of big changes and rapid turnover for the show? At this point, I could only watch during the summer, so I missed much of the mid-to late 1990s.

A financial analysts believes that a one-time stimulus payment is ridiculous.

Watching an undated episode from 1994 and the stories are interesting enough but boy are those sets and that lighting ever bland and generic! There is a Janie Cobb mention in this episode, even though we don't see her. Holden mentions that he has to pick up Aaron from Janie Cobb's place. I've mentioned this before but it would've made sense if Janie and Holden had had a child together, instead of inventing Molly and Holden as a never before seen couple. And the time when Lily was with Damian or Derrick would have been the perfect time to do that.

Amy was Nathan's first GC love interest. Also, Amy's father, Frank Lewis was the Police Commissioner in Genoa City. I remember just thinking he was Paul's father's boss. Also, except for her father Frank Lewis, Amy preceded all of those black characters that you just mentioned.

Me too. The vastly different expressions on both their faces made me cackle. It's a shame that in the last 15 years of the show, Lisa no longer had that same fighting spirit.

What the men's side of this series has had to offer so far has pretty much paled in comparison to this.

You know it's a sad state of affairs when these types of revelations are not even surprising.

Oh, I know not one word of that faux apology was real. I needed to vent but I've long accepted that people like that will never change. Speaking of impatient idiots,

Despite my upbringing of being taught never to say I hate anyone, I swear, these folks are making me start to hate people.

Maggie Baird (Dr. Taylor Baldwin, ATWT/Rhonda Sadowsky, AW) talked to Gayle King on CBS This Morning about her efforts to help restaurants that serve vegan food connect to food banks, front workers and the underserved. https://www.facebook.com/CBSThisMorning/videos/537323653622024/ It looks like it is no longer possible to embed video unless you log onto the site. I'm not a member of Facebook so I am unable to embed the video as I would've been in the past. EDT. Okay, it looks like I've found the video.

Ah, yes, a uniformed Margo Hughes, how could I forget that episode?! You'd think I'd remember the crystal clear episodes on YouTube, especially since they're not all that plentiful.

I think there are one or two episodes posted on YouTube, sometime in early to mid '84 with HBS and Deas. They were okay together but the chemistry really didn't "fire" until she was paired with Gregg Marx. Like she said in the interview, Deas was definitely not happy that Colin had left, for reasons that would become obvious, lol. HBS kind of mentioned that part with a chuckle.
