Australian law seems to be a different kettle of fish.

Her sister Margo was also introduced as something of a slut. Some soap themed podcast could perhaps interview Marshall Watson who portrayed the man that would eventually marry and leave Oakdale with Cricket.

It’s a good thing no one was injured, physically anyway. Whenever I venture into my local Walgreens. I have to try to forget the parking lot shootout that happened over the summer. What a world. In other news, Day 1 of Black History Month and the NYT has an article about how Black Americans are much more likely to be audited by the I.R.S. than other groups, giving credence to complaints that some members of my family have been making for years.

I realized in my post, I meant Days to Peacock. But between Days on Peacock and The Doctors toying with the Retro platform, there is eventually going to be a soap that will be savvy enough to engage F.A.S.T. in some way, shape or form, whether for classic episodes, a reboot of some kind or the occasional ‘made for streaming’ movie.

Thanks for sending this! Yes, I have been feeling the same way. Which U.S. soap production company is going to have enough intelligence to take that next step? When Crackle first emerged, a lot of people mocked its presence but I saw from that time that it, or other platforms like it would eventually become more popular and more valuable as time went by. Some people think it can’t be done but those are some of the same people who never thought Days could end up on Hulu. Peacock

Apparently the ATP has concluded its investigation of the abuse allegations against Zverev and has declared insufficient evidence regarding the allegations made by Sharypova, neither confirming nor denying her accusations. After all this time, the ATP acted exactly as we predicted.

Did they beg Mishael to get dressed up and take a cast photo on her way out?👀 I have my thoughts but I am going to keep it classy.

I don’t intend to ever watch that video. It has become a gruesome parade of abuse and vicious violence to the death of black bodies, a digital “Strange Fruit” that America appears to feast on with absolutely no real change for the better, just more snuff videos. If anything, it is desensitizing America to black pain and Black Death. And people making the color of the police officers an issue, like it’s some big difference- it makes absolutely zero difference when the training itself promotes the dehumanizing of black people who are stopped by the police. I just do not see the purpose of watching people being killed on camera, especially when it will change nothing. Sadly, George Floyd’s murder didn’t offer a sustained change in the system, mainly many platitudes and performative displays. Can someone please explain how watching this video will change anything? I am genuinely asking. Maybe, as a Black person, I am not the intended audience?

The Conversation is a great film!

So disrespectful. And the production companies and executives behind the genre tolerate it by continually undervaluing and discounting their own creative properties. It’s like that SNL spoof of Southwest Airlines where the staff tells customers, “If you don’t respect yourselves, how do you expect us to respect you?” The people who produce these shows over the last 25 years have consistently undermined their creative products, so how do they expect people outside the genre to value it. It’s their own fault.

Danggit Cindy Williams is gone? Who is left of the cast of Laverne & Shirley? Michael McKean?

Tracey very diplomatically talking about the rabid Lily and Cane fan base trying to come for her because she was doing her job in creating some kind of drama on the Locher Room podcast. Wished Locher would have asked her about working with Jim Storm and even Terry Lester when asking her about the male costars.

It sure does seem like the hits keep coming. One thing that could be said for sure, Loring really did resemble her onscreen family.

Even I knew he wouldn’t get a set and I slept through the entire match.

Okay, the consensus is that it was a classy speech. I am interested to see what the ratings on ESPN were though.

Did he really say that??! 🤔😑 I missed the match and the post match ceremony. Now I am curious because the trophy presentation ceremony sounded like a mess.🙃

I liked his monologue and how it ended with a full circle moment where he repeated a part of dialogue from his AMC days.

I will admit, that I do laugh every time I have watched that scene, there is something so slapstick about it.

Someone posted this and when I saw it the other day it really sent me! Those were the days of personality and power and the women being cocky AF!

Big Lenka finally captured a major championship title, huh? I didn’t see the match but congratulations to her at getting over that hurdle.

Some folks were musing about the early millennium WTA stars and how many had the personality, the game and were cocky AF back then. I don’t see a return to that era, tennis as an industry is wholly different, an industry that seems to disregard the aspect of sports as entertainment and promotes the suffering mentality and would have us believe that the more agonizing and torturous a match is, the more epic it will be. The ATP wasn’t any better either. They really promote the torturous match and slap a “warrior” label on it. I sure as hell wasn’t paying for an ESPN+ subscription to watch that!

Even as a little girl that had just been gaining an interest in soaps (beyond recording them for my mom), this promo grabbed my attention that entire summer and seemingly never let go.
