Jesus, they all KNOW what is going on. All these interviews are P.R and promotion. 

 So does this mean you are a series regular again?

BROWN I am happy to say that I have been asked to negotiate another contract.

Steffy better prep this time...  hahahhaha

Why mess with someone's livelihood for ratings is what gets me. 

No. This was all planned. KB knew, I can bet my life on it. Don't believe everything you read. From the second she was OFF KB has done nothing but laugh and smile in stories and hint that she is not dead. She is NOT SURPRISED. Hahhahaha.

Sounds like a ploy to avoid cancellation. With The Gates coming. Trying to keep as many viewers as possible. 

No. Bradley does this type of circus thing every year. 

So they are still lying or Bradley Bell is lurking around this forum. Hi, there handsome.

What storyline should I expect in the 1968 season?

The most interesting to me was Karen Werner's shenanigans and her attempts to destroy a marriage and seduce Matt.

Character flaw N1 - Feeling sorry for people who at first seem innocent and naive and all alone - only then to have my hand bitten off later. Never feel sorry for someone just on first glance or couple of conversations. Why do I always have to give a hand to the underdog. Just learned this lesson YET again - helped an ex academy colleague of mine who wanted to start working and I did some of my connections... He got A JOB, not the one he wanted, but it's GREAT and it pays money... and all of a sudden he is acting cold and like he doesn't care to speak with me after literally ringing me up every day - well, now you don't need me and you want to throw me away - GOOD. I don't forgive and I don't ring twice, once you ignore me - you are OUT. And not like I was expecting a birthday cake or a rose... but a simple thank you would have been nice. All he had to say was - he wanted to work at a higher position. And now... not responding to my calls after I saw him post stories on instagram - he is online and he is available. So, girl - bye. I hope this is the last time I help an ungrateful person. Probably won't be.

I've wondered this in like forever: why did ATWT constantly look 200% better than its sister show GL? Even when ratings were drowning, ATWT looked lush and soft, while GL would look drab and poor. Why?!

ATWT does looks so posh and so high budged. It has always amazed me. Beautiful show. I hope one day I can find full enough years from the classic days to start watching.

Here are my thoughts on the album.   I loved it (of course).  LOL   I definitely liked album 1 more than album 2.     

My Tier 1 songs:

- Down Bad: After 1 week it’s my favourite.  I already posted about it above. 

 - loml: The saddest song on the album.

For her next album, I think she’ll have more time (once the tour ends) to experiment more a bit, and to try and find other collaborators.   I’m still waiting for my pop-rock/stadium-rock album.    I hope it’s next, her 12^th album, because I think album 13 will be her going back to her pop-country roots. 

YES! This sums up my dreams too!

First week numbers are in and she set a new career high!   2.61 million in units for second best all time.  And 1.91 million in pure copies for third best all time.   It's Taylor's third straight album (Midnights, 1989TV, TTPD) over 1 million in sales.   If you told me this two years ago, I wouldn't have believed you.  LOL   She made her debut in June of 2006 and 18 years later, she's never been bigger.  For this to happen in year 18 and mind-boggling.  And who knows, she could even get bigger which is hard to imagine.

I've binged pretty much 50 episodes from 1982 and this has become my favorite soap opera of all time.

AND THE WINNER of the topic - people who don't pick up the poop of their dogs. I'm on the lookout for these people. The city loves to know who they are.
