I hope all these tenants, even the former ones, sue for what they're owed.

At 20:52, a pre-Y&R Victoria Rowell as Nella Franklin #2. I think I saw her name on the list of credits from as early as 1987 but the episodes where she appears are missing from You Tube until 1988.

Sorry. Yes, Iva and Kirk should've been a long term couple. As much as I loved Marland as a HW, he really went wrong with that one. ATWT, during the 1980s was almost spoiled for choice at one time. The problem can be that when you have too many possibilities, it almost presents a myriad of ways that you can go wrong and mess things up. Speaking of things that are messed up, I've been watching a bunch of episodes from 1988 the past few weeks, and in my quest to look up the actors who played minor characters in storylines I found myself on IMDB again looking at the bios of the group of actors involved in the Greek/hostage/terror rescue storyline invovling Craig. The actor who played the main terrorist/hostage keeper, an actor named Olek Krupa is in a movie that is starring Julianne Moore, of all people, called Bel Canto Did any of the soap blogs mark the passage of the actor who played Inspector Heniotes (Louis Zorich)? I discovered that he had been married to Olympia Dukakis until his death this year. Quite a few actors who played minor roles on ATWT went on to have flourishing careers as character actors--about all of the actors involved in this storyline are still acting today. Impressive.

Trump has truly opened the floodgates for these overly confident yet entirely mediocre and morally deficient characters.

Thanks for posting @DRW50. What an elegant woman Nancy Wilson was! I loved her voice. I'm sad to know that she's gone. I still think ATWT messed up with most of the trajectory of Kirk Anderson's story. Instead of Ellie, they really should've held out for an Iva/Kirk/Samantha triangle, with Lucinda interfering throughout. Could've been juicy.

It's in the article. "The voting members included three tournament representatives, Gavin Forbes, Charles Humphrey Smith and Mark Webster, and two player representatives, David Egdes and Alex Inglot." Gimelstob can still be voted out by the player council by majority vote from the 10 players. It was the 10 man player council, I think, who voted out Roger Rasheed because he voted on a small increase by tournaments over the course of a year, instead of a more favorable agreement that the players wanted.

So many horrid people in positions of power.

I guess now that the Weekly Standard is shutting down operations, they have no more f*cks to give and are giving news to readers straight, no chaser.

Why am I not surprised?

Beyond cruel.

CBS should change their motto to "CBS, it's always worse than you'd imagine". Just a disgusting environment of toxic hypermasculinity and rampant sexism.

I meant because of his voice. Man, you're cold! I'd be in favor of a more shaped up beard (or none at all) and I can't claim to be a fan of the bandana but otherwise I think the good looks are still pretty much intact. He's dressed for the job he has and likely wants, at this point. Voice-over work sounds like a pretty good gig.

It's what they deserve.

It's easy to see why Brian Bloom gets so much voice-over work.

This New York Times article, which is several days late and several dollars short, tells absolutely nothing new about the Gimelstob case. Rather half-hearted effort at relevance. Justin Gimelstob’s Career in Tennis in Doubt After Halloween Night Altercation

In her bio on IMDB, it looks like Komorowska's soap work is listed, complete with character names. She did three U.S. soaps, right? Another World, ATWT and One Life To Live. Funny that her character on AW's last name was Grimaldi. Talk about a missed opportunity. What if Angela Visconti's mother was a Grimaldi, maybe the poorer relations? That could've been fun to see the actress reprise her role.

The article definitely seems to present a perspective that seems to favor Gimelstob but I bet they believe that they are being fair. I read a previous article in the same blog and was even more slanted toward Gimelstob than this one. I don't expect much in the way of even-handed coverage in any U.S. based sports blog/magazine/journal. These normally outspoken American tennis journos seem particularly 'shy' about going near this story.

Following up on my intrigue with the minor characters of 1980s ATWT, a few months ago, I discovered that the actor who played Franco Visconti is actually Belgian, who I think no longer acts these days. Today, I thought I'd look up the actress who played Angela Visconti, who as amusing as I found her in the role, I suspected she wasn't actually Italian IRL. I was right. She looks great though! Liliana Komorowska

For the past five years, I've been hoping that Johnson would go away but somehow he continues to pop up, so I'll be a doubting Thomas until I'm sure to see the back of him. Gove is beneath contempt. I doubt his sycophantic gestures are fooling anyone. Despite all the posturing and jockeying within the Tory party, no one wants the job of trying to piece together the mess that is Brexit. I'm more intrigued to see how Scotland and Northern Ireland's next moves are.
