I was born in '79 and I have a boss who was born in '93.  You know how hard it is to work for someone (who's cute, by the by!) who DOESN'T know a John Hughes movie reference from a hole in the ground!?

I was born the same year as you, @Khan. Now I feel old!!!

Thanks for sharing the link to the article. RIP Mary Ryan Munisteri.

Thanks for the FYI. I hope everything Retro TV is doing will be worth the wait!!!

To this day, I'll never understand the logic behind dumping Ana-Alicia.  Melissa was poised to become a major player in Tuscany Valley -- and a threat to Angela and the rest of the Channing/Gioberti clan -- like never before.  If done right, it could have changed the show's entire trajectory.  But, leave it to FC to shoot itself in the foot at the MOST inopportune time.

That was such a stupid move. Would Dynasty have killed off Alexis?

To put it another way: Tucker Carlson is a lying, amoral piece of [!@#$%^&*].

I'd love to smack that stupid squint right off his face.

Does anyone know the song that was played near the beginning of the documentary? It was at the point where Janet and Randy were looking at the outside of the Gary house together and "1966, Gary, Indiana" flashed on the screen. It was around the 5 minute mark. It was an instrumental snippet, but it had that Motown feel. Thanks!

This is a good one:

This show is just too toxic to stay on the air.  So, of course, that means it'll go on forever.

I would rather go back to living in poverty (no insurance, food and housing insecurity) and take my children with me than be ruled by Trump or anyone of his kind.

Agreed. I resent the GOP for letting that ogre and his minions on us and not kicking him out when they had the chance. Because of their insatiable thirst for power and money, REAL people have to suffer.

It feels weird to see another Olympics so soon after the last one, but I've always been into the winter games than the summer ones. Bring on the figure skating!!

I wish her SFT work was still available, because everything I've heard of it is incredible. I did enjoy her as a recurring judge on L&O.

For those wishing for a modern re-boot it begs the question if either of CC's ex wives could board a plane from Europe to Santa Barbara in 2022 wearing either a hat with a thick veil to hide their face or a little old man costume with a voice changer?  

How about huge sunglasses and an N95?

It takes a lot of chemistry and a lot of good writing to have a woman fall in love with the man who tried to kill her, and have the fans support them.

Or rapes her, as in the case of GH...

Katie Couric's memoir also has a bit about Zucker and Gollust's relationship, and him pushing for her to get a job with Couric. (I'm only posting the memoir pages as the tweet in question is from a right winger.)

Apparently unaware of this memoir, this is Gollust's angle:

 

Let's not forget that he was there for the whole Jay/Conan debacle in 2009-10. Let's hope he just retires and goes away, because he's already caused enough damage.

It must be hard to have these kind of conversations off the cuff though.  I can only imagine the mistakes I would make if I had to talk about controversial subjects everyday in a back and forth format. 

On live TV, no less.

I recently read that during the McCain era the producers abandoned the legendary morning meeting where the hosts develop the Hot Topics because it became too contentious, and now each host is briefed individually based upon how much information they want ahead of time. 

Not only that, but I suspect covid has now had a lot to do with individual briefings...especially since McCain is out.

It's very interesting. I think you will enjoy it.  I like how it's documenting her early beginnings careers, and relationships. I think this might be the most she's ever talked publicly about all of these things especially the personal aspects of her life like her romances. Now she's talking a bit about her relationship with Rene and they are showing footage that he shot of them that has never been seen before. It's really interesting. 

Thank you so much. James DeBarge said of his relationship with Janet on Unsung years ago: "it was the right love at the wrong time". I don't recall her ever really talking publicly about him. 

Thanks for the heads up, @xtr. I didn't realize it was on tonight, so I set the DVR for the 11 PM airing, as well as tomorrow's episode. It looks really interesting!!!

Go, Mr. Braeden, go!!!!

Good news:

 

Good! I have DirecTV myself. Though I would never watch OAN, glad my provider has seen the light and will drop it. Now if they could only drop Fox "News" and Newsmax, but one can dream.

Guess whose undies are all in a knot over this development? Go figure.

Yeah, but how does that marriage actually work??

How can one actually be married to someone like that? Is love really enough?

The White House cat!!! Finally!! Adorable!! ❤

@Vee, I call our two favorite senators "Mansinema".

To be fair, even Augusta never hated Lionel.  She was a little vindictive toward him when he first returned to Santa Barbara, but as soon as the earthquake hit in the first summer, and Augusta was blinded, Lionel tried to romance her and stood by her side.  Most of their marital issues occurred off screen in order to facilitate the exit or re-entry of the actors.  So, Julia never really had a reason to hold a grudge against Lionel.  In the end, his charm and finesse outweighed whatever difficulties he had with commitment.

Yes, well said.

From the 'It's a small world TV department'. Pamela Lincoln and Paul Carr in a 1959 episode of Zane Grey theater.

I wonder how often an actor would join the cast of a soap only to be find other performers they had previously worked with, even if only for a week or so which would have been the case here.

Nice catch!!

Frankly, I blame the right-wing media, going way the hell back to Rush Limbaugh.  I believe they're principally responsible for the muck we're still mired in with this virus, thanks to all their decades of blather about not letting the government control people like sheep.  Never mind that they've never actually been controlled by anyone OR that the ones who ARE controlled are also the ones they never give the first [!@#$%^&*] about.

Khan, it's just too bad there is not a standing O emoji. I couldn't agree more.
