Serena's only lost one set the entire tournament thus far, right? Darn impressive! A great chance for Serena to shatter that Court record. Serena vs. Angelique on Saturday-- I don't expect nerves to be much of a factor between these two. Should be fun!

Well, this looks...unusual.

Okay, this makes sense, LOL. The alternative is too awful to contemplate.

Patrick must have improved over the years because he used to be awful. At least he's better than John.

I find Kevin Anderson's game boring to watch but he has shown a lot of growth from last year to this year. I can't stomach watching Isner and Raonic playing, so the fact that they are currently playing each other is a hard pass from me.

Federer is out of Wimbledon! That has to be the biggest upset of the tournament!

I just read an article about an amazing 14 year old child from Myanmar who was instrumental in the rescue of Thai boys and their coach. Adul Sam-on is stateless, has no citizenship papers and was brought over the border from Myanmar to Thailand by his parents who wanted him to have a decent education. Adul who is one of the most academically gifted students in his school, speaks 5 languages, one of them being English, which he used to translate between his fellow team members, Thai rescuers and British divers. The U.S. now throws people like Adul away or bars them from entry. So called Christians and evangelicals want to cite the parable about the stone that the builders refused becoming the cornerstone? Well this exemplifies this parable that people love to cite so much even as many of these same people rail against migrants and refugees. Well, Adul is both and he was instrumental in helping the rescue effort going as well as it did.

All of them. Part of my family is from Jamaica (and they also happen to live in Brooklyn) so the accents don't pass muster to me but I'm definitely a tough judge.

Sorry @Darn but I have to disagree, the Jamaican accents are terrible, lol.

Are they trying to catch up to the Trump WH with all these recent resignations among the conservatives?

This far into a presidency and still being sued for not paying his bills and no one bats an eye anymore.

Boris Johnson has just resigned as foreign secretary. With all these 'Leavers' well...leaving their posts, this Brexit thing is going well, isn't it?

It's Chris Christie's fault that the tunnel situation has gotten so dire in the first place. Work could've started 6,7 years ago, if not for Christie repeatedly putting the kibosh on the Hudson tunnel project.

With 3 months to go before the benchmark between the EU and the U.K., Brexit's chief negotiator David Davis resigns. LOL.

My statements were not about anyone who has lied on their application. I can't speak to that one, since it's fairly obvious that one shouldn't lie on a federal form of any type. Some of this is supposition by Gessen, although I'd put nothing past this cabal in the White House at this point. At this point, I don't know anyone who wants to come here anymore anyway. Just this morning I found myself thinking how much my relatives who live in other countries are laughing at me for living here. They think people in the U.S. are not that smart.

Why won't the U.S. just admit that it hates women? With this level of hostility toward women, no wonder the birthrates in this country are declining so steadily! Regressive, rigid immigration policy and hostility toward women-- the U.S. is on its way to becoming Japan. U.S. OBJECTS TO BREASTFEEDING RESOLUTION WITH SCIENTIFIC CONSENSUS, UNTIL RUSSIA SUPPORTED IT

I also agree that Meg was not long-lost. She was staying with her aunt Elizabeth and uncle Henry. She had tried to run away at some point because uncle Henry was...not a nice man. That's the same farm that Iva had run away from.

Also, Ruth? Whew, that's sounds old-fashioned. I could've imagined Meg as an Ivy (aka 'poison Ivy) but not and Iva for a youngest daughter. If those names in the synopsis were the original names, then I'm glad Marland changed this. EDT: Come to think about it Ivy and Lily on the same show, taking up residence in the Snyder household, both losing their virginity to Dusty...those two names juxtaposed like that, would sound odd to me.

@JarrodMFiresofLove Where did you find these episode summaries?? LOL. Iva is Emma's youngest daughter? That would be news to Meg! I have no idea who Ruth Snyder is. Question to anyone who can answer: is there a list of background music that was used on the show? There is one particular piece of music that I've always recalled from my childhood watching ATWT and I have heard it for the first time in decades since I've been watching episodes from '86 and '87. I wonder what the is the name of that particular piece? Just curious, I guess.

It's amazing that anyone was able to juggle all those stories and weave them into emerging ones, umbrella stories-- then add the unexpected factor of actors leaving, with some returning. You see writers on today's soaps who are barely able to scrape together a good A and B story, it makes me a bit more appreciative of this juggling act, oversights, flaws and all.

Maybe even Shannon and Brian?

That could be it. Which storylines were holdovers from the previous writer?

Are any of these people taking these childrens' fates seriously? People love their dogs, but come on.

Wow, so the courts have already struck down six of Scott Pruitt's rollback policies! He was so hasty to undo Obama-era protections that he neglected proper procedures. I see this happening a lot with this current government.
