Oh, I don't watch cable news. At all. Sadly those people are all on Twitter, which I do check. Someone posted a tweet from Briahna "Joy" Gray, Sanders' communications spox upthread and she's incredibly toxic.

Where is Jay Hammer these days? I'm truly curious as to how he's doing. He worked closely with both BMc and MD, I bet he'd have some entertaining insights. I'd also love to hear from Jordan Clarke as I am fascinated by long-time actors (especially when they originate their roles) who no longer act. All those people who have been mentioned, I'd love to see/hear from. It would be interesting to hear from Lisa Brown who has now spent a great deal of time working behind the camera to get her perspective on the contrast. I've really never heard MK talk when she wasn't being Vanessa, I want to see what differences/similarities they have. I bet GA, MOL and KT (Mindy #1) would have a ball. ATWT has over 10,000 and if they get another 10,000 I think it's more likely we'll get more of these livestream events sooner, rather than later. If both GL and ATWT continue to get more views, who knows?

And it was honestly, more than his online army, it was his communications director and several of his surrogates who were/are incredibly toxic. The 'Bros' were bad enough but when you add people in his official staff who were saying and tweeting toxic things (without Bernie ever saying anything to rectify it), it made it all but impossible for Bernie to ever expand his 'base' in any way. Bernie himself seemed unwilling to reach out in any way that was genuine and meaningful. His brand was unyielding and to course correct or make adjustments is not in his DNA.

Roddick's organization sounds like it is about doing good works.

ITA but it was evident that "Vote like a Black women" rarely includes 'voting for/supporting a Black woman'. Also Bernie-bots and Russian troll armies relentlessly harassed her.

Perhaps if Elizabeth Hubbard would agree to do it, maybe they could get Larry too?

But wasn't Singapore already prone to strict penalties for things like gum chewing? Other countries are also harshly penalizing people who violate curfew and/stay-in-place rules right now. A few of these clips came across my TL and I thought she brought up some issues that need more amplification.

Seems like he had a lot of good things to say about Marland, who was definitely well liked by actors, from what I continually hear.

Is Robert talking about Doug Marland?

That rosé is hitting! 😁

Betty Rea knew her stuff. She'd weep at Y&R's casting choices. Yeah, that's what I thought too.

Wow, Robert Newman said he auditioned on the same day that Scott Bryce auditioned and he got cast for GL and Bryce got cast for ATWT!

Getting used to Maureen not having red hair but she basically looks the same. Everybody looks pretty good. Nice to see. I'm glad that at least 1,000 people are watching. Hopefully more people watch as it goes along and the replay. This is just making me want them to keep doing these.

The only other good news (beside Bernie dropping the heck out) on an otherwise solemn day for me. Hopefully the rest of the NY tri-state area will follow suit.

Cool! Hopefully there are some more 'Golden Era' actors in the mix.

This is why I'm side-eye all the fawning and hagiography surrounding Gov. Cuomo these days. Cuomo and DeBlasio have a history of squabbling and pettiness toward each other, leaving issues unresolved at even the best of times. And this fawning is too reminiscent of the hagiography surrounding Giuliani after 9/11 (not comparing to two, Giuliani has always been horrible) which makes me very uncomfortable.

Watching videos are fine but people really need to read.

I'm going to try to catch this live. The ATWT livestream has about 9700 views. If that could somehow be bumped up to 10,000 perhaps it might encourage Locher (or someone else) to do more of these. If people have a lot of soap fans on their social media (outside of this board), maybe they can get them to watch/listen. If there is a sense that a respectable number of people are interested via the view count, who knows? Someone might decide that there is enough interest to engage fans of these shows a bit more, down the road.

Then I must be in that minority too because I would love to hear from all those you mentioned, especially in their own words, unfiltered. Boy I hope Locher (or someone) can make these type of livestream events a regular thing because I'd also love to hear from people like Scott Bryce, Hillary Bailey Smith, Melanie Smith, etc. I like hearing insightful anecdotes and stories on their characters, how they got their roles, storylines that surprised them, etc. So much fun.

Life is hard enough right now. I'm not trying to study those Bernie-bots. I'm trying to maintain whatever good health I can manage right now.

EleVEN by Venus has a YouTube page that has archived all her IG workouts. Haha, I see you Sloane! Okay, maybe that's not Sloane herself...maybe.

^^None of us are surprised by that, right? OTOH Japan seems to have acted somewhat late (like most wealthy countries) at the same time the Japanese government appears to be learning from the missteps of other countries. This was done in countries like S. Korea and Taiwan with success. Even China did this, eventually, which seemed to be credited (along with lockdown measures) for flattening the curve.

I try not to get too personal on social media but a friend of mine lost three patients in the space of 12 hours in Brooklyn. A relative, who is a nurse is currently recovering from COVID-19 after being hospitalized. I try not to get angry over things I cannot control but scientists have been talking about pandemics for decades now and yet the "rich" countries in particular have by and large, handled this pandemic poorly, with deadly results. People need to start realizing that their votes have life or death consequences, it not to be taken lightly. Do your homework before you cast your vote, someone's life (someone close to you, if not your own) will likely depend on it. Allowing incompetent leaders like Johnson and Trump into office while shrugging your shoulders and hoping that only others suffer will come back on you.
