I'm not saying that the writing didn't need punching up, I'm saying that it's bad form to do it on the fly without giving a heads up to the writers. If someone had done that to me repeatedly they'd be out, I don't care who they are. She was never known to do this with any of the playwrights she worked with and was especially supportive of Chayefsky, even though he wrote a flop for her to costar in.

The doctor says that he is not sure what it is that helped Suri survive, but shouldn't someone at least try to find out? That information could be useful to some other family.

Until a video is produced, rather than just photographs, this is unlikely to remove all speculation and rumors. Maybe someone can send Trump over there to check on the love of his life.

Unless it was a show like Curb Your Enthusiasm where performers are encouraged to improve, I doubt that any writer would like this-- I certainly wouldn't. If there are suggestions on re-writing dialogue, you should take it up with the writer, otherwise, say the line as it's written. It's actually bad form to do otherwise and I love La Hubbard. By the way, I doubt Hubbard would've dared to do that in theater and certainly not with Paddy Chayefsky, who was known to be very strong-willed and domineering.

I didn't figure Hubbard to be the type who would be at all self-conscious about how she appeared onscreen but it seems as if she may have been concerned about how Lucinda was seen by others. It would be interesting if she truly preferred the earlier iteration of Lucinda considering that the character had been on the canvas a full year before she became anything other than marginal. I guess Hubbard didn't like Lucy being an interloper in one of her daughter's relationship and an obstacle in the other daughter's relationship. Like you said, Lucinda was far more complex under Marland's pen than in the year and some change that she had been on the show previously. As much as people complain about Eileen Fulton's performances, from what I read about Lisa's "bad gal" days, she leaned into it, rather than shying away or complaining and got a pop in the jaw by an overzealous fan as a sign of just how much she embraced her characterization. I have to watch the whole livestream tomorrow. Did La Hubbard name-drop Paddy Chayefsky? Speaking of memoirs and tell alls, her relationship with him had quite a few paragraphs in his biography. It sounds like the ballet storyline was just a smokescreen to shake Greiner loose. It's a shame because I thought she actually had a resemblance to Kathleen Widdoes, so that Faith looked like she could really be Emma's flesh and blood.

That story about switching out the thicker actress for the thinner one is vile. I always knew that weight was at the root of it, but hearing the specifics just reminds me of the myriad reasons why I hated the show's final decade.

In Germany, where the infection rate is far far lower and the testing rate much much higher than the U.S. As I understand, there are daily temperature checks and all players and staff had to have negative tests before entering the exho tournament.

Interesting how, with the exception of Trump who can't resist camera time, these autocrats seem to be missing in action during this pandemic. Xi Jinping, Kim Jong Un and now Putin seem camera shy all of a sudden.

It's a partial episode but it doesn't look as if this episode had never been posted previously. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_12QwpIkBBo

Came across this on YT but this was a good summary of the vast differences between a regard for facts and science and a total disregard for facts, science and reality. This country has fallen so far down in such a short amount of time, it's astounding.

Just saw a headline "Worst economy in a decade. What's next? 'Worst in our lifetime' ".

Anyone who believes now is the time to "open the country" must be out of their fu*king minds.

Only if she can pinpoint one side accurately, lol. Kidding. I think they supposedly resolved that issue. VR seems like she has decided to focus on other things.

I never went back to listen either. The first minute I tried to listen, she sounded drunk and the volume/audio was poor. As much as I like Scott, I couldn't be bothered with this podcast.

Her friend Sharon on one side, her enemy Phyllis on the other, and Dru is centered. In a way, I can see why VR chose this photo, lol.

Y&R would have to do better with recasting for Scotty though. Just imagine how much better JT's last go 'round in GC could've produced Colleen. Also, had Colleen been there in the midst of the Dina mess. Dina could have doted on Colleen as a daughter while practically forgetting that Traci existed. It might've made for some interesting drama.

Despite being very vocal on social media, the reality is that the Justice Democrats continue to rack up losses. From what I've read, Morgan Harper, the latest JD to fall in her bid, only moved to the district three months prior to primary season, which Rep. Joyce Beatty called her out on during a debate.

Yes! I don't know what TIIC were doing with some of these characters. Colleen, Rex, Brad. They could've just sent Brad off to Azerbaijan or Katmandu and had Colleen visit him-- they needn't have kill both off and the way they did Colleen's death in particular was so damn cheesy! Rex and Katherine could have separated and reunited and Jill, getting in the way sometimes. There were a lot of possibilities going down the road. I agree. Characters like that are missing from today's soaps. I hope Tricia Cast is managing things alright, after such a loss.

OMG, lol. When I was little I used to wonder whether he had some type of hearing impairment or at the very least, a speech impediment. His tongue always seemed to be lolling around in his mouth. Tricia Cast was really good with him though. Even in Phillip's last disastrous return with a stupid cattle rushers storyline, Tricia Cast's chemistry with him even made me believe that they could be close friends and co-parents.

I'm afraid to look him up to see who that is. The reality is, the White House is finding ways to orchestrate a big giveaway to corporations. The PPP is small potatoes to them but even the dullards at the White House recognize a PR nightmare when they see one.

That, I've yet to hear from anyone. I hear a world of complaints on the unemployment disbursement, the stimulus payments as well as PPP. Having a second round pretty much proves that the first time was ineffective. The Treasury has admitted that much of the payments didn't reach small business owners but are blaming the franchises and companies that took the payments as well as the banks that facilitated the applications. That's the sense that I get.

The heads of the Bernie Bros. must be exploding all over the place now.

After the horse has bolted from the stables, they try to close the gate of stables. Who the hell decided that Shake Shake and The Los Angeles Lakers were small businesses??!
