Except he’s their hometown hope…allegedly.😂

Ha!😜🤑 Vail, girl, I’m not even going to ask for a percentage. Just make sure they do Heather Stevens justice with a juicy storyline!😘

I am just glad that whoever is eavesdropping on our board conversations is listening to the right things. And oh, I can write a good story, so message me, people.😉

Well well well. Are some Y&R folks eavesdropping in on our board conversations? 👀😂 Nevermind. Vail, girl, you make sure they give you a juicy storyline.

Tennis Australia did Kiokkinakis no favors with the scheduling. He has had to play three days in a row, when they could have shifted him on Day 1 to finish the rest of his first round match. And it’s what 3 am local time and he and Murray are still playing? Whoever wins this match will be at a deficit in the next round, as their opponent is fast asleep.

Hopefully it’s something productive and positive. He does have talent and let’s face it, he’s not the type that can be left to his own devices without being occupied with some project. Let’s hope that it’s not some Drake “Her Loss” type of project. 🤣 and I couldn’t resist looking at the replies, some of them clamoring for an OnlyFans.

Yeah, I figured that the poster didn’t pay to use the work of the photographer and/or agency and that they were just coasting off the use that you paid for. It’s a shame that some people choose to ignore the basic tenets of fair use and social media etiquette. That sounds really weird. I don’t know what to say about that. It really sounds like it’s more about what’s going on in the psyche of that particular person.

So far, I have only seen the pilot episode and it’s got some promising elements, including a reasonably likable cast. Yes, many of NBC’s highly successful sitcoms did need a full season or two to find their footing and/or audience. I just wonder whether NBC will be patient enough to allow this show that space as it once did in the 1980s and ‘90s. Network executives have been somewhat impatient in the last decade, and unfortunately, so are viewers sometimes. I was curious to see if anyone had asked Richard Moll and Marsha Warfield on their thoughts on this reboot. I haven’t heard anything expressed, which makes me wonder whether there could be the possibility of a couple cameos down the road. I don’t think people should rush this, especially seeing that there a brand new characters that viewers need to get to know. Hopefully once they are established, there will be room for some appearances from surviving cast from the first series. I would love to see what happened to Quon Le, she and Mac had at least one child together and I am curious to know what happened to them. The writers may not want to deal with all of that but I think it would be a nice nod to the character of Mac and his history, much of which played out on camera. but yeah, I think it may require a little patience for this show to hit its stride. There are hints of that zaniness that the original series had but television, especially network television is risk averse these days and the original series seemed to take plenty of risks, at times it dabbled in the subversive, which made it special.

Ellen Parker did a magnificent job with the material in that storyline and of course, earned her Daytime Emmy but I for one, would have liked to see more of how the hurt, bitter, and angry Maureen Bauer might have manifested and perhaps subverted the characteristics of the matriarch that had always been essential to GL, even if it were only temporary. Like you, I felt there was much more story to tell for this character and leading off from the Maureen that we saw in her final days would have liberated her to dive into an interesting direction, and if they found the character going too far, they could have always brought her back to her center-Maureen had always been a very centered character.

It’s just become impossible to keep up and keep track of all the things. It’s not about shaming drag, it’s about someone who aligns himself with ultra conservative and right wingers who put laws in place to try to dehumanize people, including people who dress in drag. Do people not see the conflict?

Have you seen this 2 part Frontline special? It was excellent in how thoroughly it presents how “Big Oil” essentially gaslit (pun intended) the public, using the paid research of scientists, academics and researchers. Some politicians also used this research to promote their political agendas. I am not sure whether PBS has these episodes behind the paywall (they have an annoying habit of doing this now, although educational videos tend to have a longer grace period for viewing) but it is definitely worth checking out. https://www.pbs.org/video/the-power-of-big-oil-part-one-denial-redxh6/

As a writer myself, I feel for you Errol. It’s a violation when you take the time and thought to craft your own words, and someone swoops in and scoops what you have written and presents those words as if it’s theirs, without any acknowledgment to what you have done. Also, did that person secure permission to post that photograph? I have seen people on social media get into trouble for posting photos without accreditation. Very careless and irresponsible. Sadly, many people don’t consider lifting the works of others and using them as their own to be a big deal, when it’s pretty egregious.

Good news.

Daytime soap operas and their history with Black characters is worthy of a thesis all on its own.

Paula Badosa is out of the Australian Open with injury.

No doubt, but she also had great judgement to leave on good terms before the next decade when quality would dip. She wasn’t the only one to do so.

I thought JMac did commentary for Eurosport.

The continuing saga of George Anthony Devolder Santos whatever his name is…he’s got more names than Erica Kane had husbands. A genuine scammer.

Julianne Moore is the truth! She is such a proud ATWT alumni. Here she gives a shout out to both her time at ATWT and her soap co-star (and distant cousin) Marisa Tomei.

On a positive note, the national deficit decreased significantly. Courtesy of a random twitter account with a free link.

More classified documents were found, this time at a residence of Bilen’s. SMH. This could have been avoided.

Oh damn. How tragic. She didn’t look well when she appeared at the Golden Globe awards but this was beyond what would have come to mind as being a possibility.
