Wow. Yes, she does need help and fast.

Here's a recent interview with Robin Wright, and SB comes up. You can imagine her reaction. I wish Julianne Moore would give her a serious talking-to. http://www.king5.com/mobile/article/news/entertainment-news/robin-wright-on-blade-runner-2049-humility-and-her-first-job-on-a-soap-opera/479668809

I'm sure they will keep HOC going by killing off Frank Underwood and moving all the focus onto Robin Wright's Claire. That is, if she wants to keep going, as her film career is heating up again.

I was watching a rerun of T.J. Hooker the other day and Gary Frank was the main guest star. It was pretty funny to see "Willie Lawrence" as a deranged Bible salesman who became more unhinged as the episode progressed. Still, he did a commendable job. I'm not sure why he never had a bigger acting career after Family.

Thanks again, everyone, for the kind words and support. I appreciate it. I don't have good "gaydar", probably because it's not something I think about or care about (I don't judge people on their orientation; it really doesn't matter to me). Having said that, I realized that Kevin Spacey was gay when I saw his bedroom scene with Kate Bosworth in Beyond the Sea. He looked so awkward, and that's when it clicked to me. I don't doubt we'll be hearing more stories about him in the days and weeks to come. It also shows that this is not a women-only issue in Hollywood. People of both genders, on both sides of the camera, are sharing their stories. I applaud them for their bravery.

THAT HAT!!! 80s fashion at its scariest, ahem, finest. 😨😉😂

The iconic theme song will never NOT be awesome. To this day, I call Ken Kercheval "The EMBITTERED Cliff Barnes"!! 😂

Thank you so much for your kind words, Khan. I'm not quite on the other side yet, but for the longest time I blamed myself and was so ashamed. Here I was, a woman in her mid-30s, going to the house of a man I had thought was a good friend, and who I had known for nearly a decade. I trusted him...in good part because we knew each other from church. He was the lead guitarist and sang in the church band. I thought he was a strong Christian man. He managed to corner me in his upstairs bedroom and I completely froze. My shoes, purse, phone and car keys were all on the first floor. I let him do what he wanted because I felt if I put up a fight, it would be even worse. He also wanted to watch me go to the bathroom, amongst other things. It was months before I got out of the situation, and I went to our pastor and one of the elders, who confronted him. He of course denied everything, until I showed the pastor the texts he had sent me (and had ordered me to delete as soon as I read them). It was deeply humiliating to show Pastor these texts, but they were the only proof I had that I was not lying. In short order, the guy did finally tell Pastor that I had been telling the truth, and he left our church effective immediately. That was over a year ago and there has been no contact since. Thank God, my therapist is awesome and has helped me enormously. I was diagnosed with PTSD, but am only starting now to recover. I made sure to get tested for any and all STDs, and all the tests came back negative. I was under this guy's spell for a long time, and as a grown woman I blamed myself for being so blind to his deceptions. Not to mention that he made me feel like I was two feet tall. Because he had sworn me to secrecy, I didn't feel like I COULD tell anyone. It wasn't until he got tired of me and threw me away that I finally felt that I could share with others (family, clergy, etc.). I thought I would be hated and blamed. Instead, I was embraced. I hope by sharing my story that anyone going through the same situation might be emboldened to seek help. Thanks to my friends at SON for the support.

I was thrilled to receive the screen cap I had sent to Randall Edwards autographed. I'll try to have it posted up here soon.

I'm glad she found a soap role worthy of her. She was woefully miscast and misused on The Doctors.

👏👏👏👏👏

ANYWAY, I felt that those scenes between the sisters were amongst the best that MW and RW ever had together. I loved how Kelly challenged Eden to fight for what she wanted, and how much she and the rest of the family loved Eden. Very well-acted and directed.

I hope that they all band together like Bill Cosby's victims did. These stories have just literally made me sick. I know firsthand what it is like to be cornered in a bedroom and be ordered to strip. I know what it is like to tell the truth only to have the perpetrator deny it and have him tell others that I was crazy (thankfully, I had a paper trail which I was able to use to prove that I was telling the truth). I know what it is like to be told to keep this a secret; this is no one else's business but ours. The difference was that it wasn't a work/business situation. This was a man I had known for a long time. I thought he was my friend - and I trusted him. I didn't know that he was grooming me until it was too late. It was over a year before I told anyone in my family, and I went into intense therapy shortly thereafter. It's been a hard road, but I also have a great empathy for victims that I never would have had before. I loved Annabella S. from when she played Chris Noth's cop partner on L&O:CI...never would I have guessed at the hell she has been through.

I wish Virginia Vestoff had been able to reprise Samantha in NODS as originally planned (she had to back out due to a scheduling conflict). I think she could have helped put that movie to another level - she had wonderful screen presence.

I don't like how much time they devote to Olivia's personal life. I wish they'd devote full episodes to the police work.

I think it would have just as rabid a (pardon the pun) fan base. The acting and writing still holds up.

Thanks!

So far I have not been impressed with the new season. I am surprised that Chris Meloni has yet to show up as Stabler in a Special Guest Star arc. I still have a feeling it will eventually happen, and if it does the ratings will skyrocket AND it will pump some much-needed life into the proceedings. Much of SVU post-Munch and Cragen has been on autopilot.

Please do!

Um...OK!! 😨

I missed her brief GH run a couple of years back, but did Donna Mills have any scenes with Leslie Charleson?

The scenes with MW and RW when Eden was in the wheelchair were incredible. The sisterly bond was never stronger than in those scenes.

In Retro TV's rerun cycle of The Doctors, we are now seeing HTSAM's Michael Landrum as the recast, post-facial surgery Dr. Mike Powers. It is now October 1974, and in 1975 another HTSAM alum, Armand Assante, will take over the role. Lauren White was another HTSAM star who found a home on TD, also starting in 1975 (she left TD in 1978).

I would be surprised if he DIDN'T have skeletons.

Wow, has it really been that long? 😨
