  1. The original and unedited ‘American Life’ music video has finally been uploaded to her official YouTube channel in time for the 20th anniversary of the album’s release.
  2. A lot of the character archetypes in Degrassi seem to have influenced Euphoria. Also, isn't Drake an EP on Euphoria? Not sure that amounts to much and if he has much input beyond the financials, but that's a clear link.
  3. Well, in doing more digging, she also seems to have aligned herself with a right-wing owned non-profit (Pipe Hitter Foundation) who claims their purpose is to defend rights of people in uniform. That could explain why she’s appeared in media outlets like Newsmax. Also, in looking at the “politicians” she follows on Instagram, it seems like they line up with her own political beliefs, but that’s neither here nor there I guess and doesn’t seem like she’s been very public with her support for the political ideology she may be supporting in her private life. Pipe Hitter Foundation posted this video from Martha today on Instagram and asked for $20K more of donations to help fight the case… https://www.instagram.com/tv/CrTP9C4opGl/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=
  4. Yep, I haven’t seen much detail about the case, but someone posted that article on Twitter today and I didn’t realize those charges are a few years old now, but the actual trial is happening soon it seems. I also didn’t realize Martha had been making the rounds on far-right trash media outlets in an attempt to clear her husband’s name either.
  5. I didn’t know where to put this, but stumbled upon this article about Martha Byrne’s husband. He’s been indicted on some interesting charges… Private Eye From Mahwah Among Group Indicted On Charges Of Stalking NJ Couple For China
  6. Oddly, GH was the ABC soap Curlee almost landed on as HW next (she was reportedly on tap to replace the Labine’s), but she backed out when she got pregnant again.
  7. In a weird way, AMC/McTavish having Natalie stuck in that damn well felt like a precursor to Reilly’s Buried Alive story.
  8. Liz was one of a kind and always fought hard for what she believed in and for the integrity of the characters she played. There aren’t many like her left. I feel so fortunate to have watched her as Lucinda. From the first time I saw her onscreen, I knew there was something special there. She was a true artist. RIP.
  9. ‘Degrassi’ creator Linda Schuyler on her memoir ‘The Mother of All Degrassi’ — the hardest part to write was the title
  10. He remained so proud of giving her that first deal until his death. RIP Seymour Stein, the record executive who signed Madonna, is dead at 80
  11. Like so many others on this show, Brook Lynn just feels like another generic character with no personality. AS brings nothing special to the table to counteract the lazy writing either.
  12. Remember when Devon banged Aunt Tyra 5 seconds after finding out she wasn't really his aunt? 🤢
  13. Even this guy's answers are boring as f.uck.
  14. Seeing Mamie back at the Abbott's warms my heart. It would be a total misuse of her, especially with her own extended family out there, but if I still watched this awful show, I wouldn't mind Mamie moving back in with the Abbott's and serving as a recurring support system for them - kind of the reverse of the purpose Dena served just a few years back.
  15. The Russo's were producers on EEAAO (not hands on, but they lent whatever clout they had to its marketing), so the Daniels likely already have a reference/or in with Marvel/Disney if they ever needed one. Angela Bassett is someone that has always been better than the roles that were typically given to her. I never expected her to win for a Marvel movie, so I can't say I'm shocked. I know some folks on Twitter thought her reaction wasn't classy - but to me, she wasn't bitter that Jamie Lee won, she looked more devastated/sad to me and likely because she was last nominated 30 years ago and she knows great roles are not created for women of her age and color. She probably saw this as one of her last chances. I hope she beats the odds and, similar to Michelle Yeoh, is given a cracking script and project to break the mold with - she's more than capable of it. I won't begrudge Jamie Lee either. Career wins always happen, and she's had longevity in this industry and is generally well liked.
  16. Sony could relocate production of Y&R to its own studio lot in Culver City, or production could move to CBS’s other major lot at Studio City where Passions once taped. It’s LA, so there’s quite a few facilities to move production to for both Y&R and B&B.
  17. Little did they know Seinfeld was about to skyrocket, and ER and Friends would be the breakout hits of that season.
  18. Didn’t Agnes notoriously try to edit actual scripts/dialogue as well? Patrick Mulcahey said she was like a school marm at Loving giving him copious (and annoying to him) notes in red ink on his scripts.
  19. Josh Griffith needs to go for the simple fact he has no creative energy left and has tanked at this show alone MULTIPLE times. The burnout will be real - especially as it was alleged he had a mental breakdown a few years ago when he worked with JFP. But Sony will ride it out until then - because he’s cheap.
  20. Y&R’s issue also seems to be that they don’t know how to manage their budget. A more skilled EP could extract a lot more value out of the existing budget - but they simply don’t have anyone with any skill to make this work.
  21. History has shown that if you’re not Bill Bell, being HW and EP is not successful and is a disaster on this show. Beall will not be able to do all these roles in one either.
  22. Something will inevitably crash hard as Griffith is not equipped to handle such a heavy workload. It will likely be similar to what happened to Mal Young when he was ousted. By then, who will Sony hire, or will CBS just decide to pull the plug on the soaps?
  23. Sadly, yes, it is cheap. It’s really puzzling that the #1 rated soap is so cash strapped that they’re eliminating an entire writing team function that even DAYS can afford. It tells me that this show’s finances are being severely mismanaged and Josh does not know how to efficiently handle it.
