    Today I learned...

    Cusi Cram, the first Cassie Callison, (who may have been fired because her weight according to reporting from the Soaps of Yesteryear tumblr) is the granddaughter of the 12th Duke of Argyle and his first wife. 

    Cusi's mother, Lady Jean Campbell, (who romanced JFK and had been married the first time to novelist Norman Mailer) was married to John Sargent Cram II at the time of Cusi's birth but it was later revealed that Cusi's biological father was a Bolivian Ambassador to the UN

    Cusi's grandfather, The Duke, is in the news because the story of his scandalous divorce from his third wife (Cusi's ex-step-grandmother) is being turned into the newest season of A Very British Scandal with Claire Foy and Paul Bettany.  https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-10129453/A-British-Scandal-LOOK-Claire-Foy-Paul-Bettany-play-Duke-Duchess-Argyll.html 

    Dorian could never...

    One of the few soap actors whose real life really was a soap!!!

    Everything Ted did was never good enough. She never gave the poor guy a break.

    In five years on SB, Todd McKee never had a good story to call his own. Still, he brought so much charm to the role and was so likable that he always made Ted a character worth watching.

    Tuc Watkins (OLTL, GH) will play a hedge fund manager who dumps Neil Patrick Harris’s lead character after a 17-year relationship in the Netflix comedy series Uncoupled from Darren Star.

    I read this too fast. Originally, I thought it said that Tuc Watkins dumped acting to become a hedge fund manager. 😳😝😂

    I know as an Ohioan I will NOT be voting for JD Vance

    As a fellow Ohioan, neither will I. I keep getting those awful spam texts from his campaign on my phone, despite me blocking the number(s). 😡😡😡😡😡

    So, in a move that should shock absolutely no one with a modicum of class and taste, I saw on Twitter that Donnie Dump Junior is now hocking T-shirts mocking the death of Halyna Hutchins having been shot by Alec Baldwin.

    There is no bottom to these things. (Can't call them people.)

    I hope, should Ms. Hutchins' husband gets wind of this, that he will sue for emotional distress to himself and his son.

    I too hope her family (and Alec Baldwin himself) sues that awful creature. Only the lowest of the low, those with no feelings would do something like that. It's absolutely sickening.

    The New York Times had published an artcle about lighter-skinned African American performers.   Ellen Holly responded with a letter to the editor about the scarcity of roles.   Agnes Nixon read it and asked to meet Ms. Holly.

    That letter showed up at the 11th hour, so I've heard. Agnes still didn't have a Carla, and they were about to go on the air.

  6. Did Samantha actually drug Marlena back then? When Andrea Hall played Hattie, DAYS showed a few flashbacks of Marlena remembering her sister and being spooked at this stranger's resemblance to her. One flashback looked like Marlena had been drugged by Samantha.

    Yorlin Madera turned into a decent-looking man, but I can’t quite see him playing the stuff David Fumero played as Cristian. I don’t think Cristian would have stuck around as a utility romantic lead without DF.

    Sometimes one actor embodies the young character, but a recast is needed to mature the role. But more often than not, soaps simply cast a more conventionally attractive actor for sexual/romantic purposes, à la Rachel Miner/Rebecca Budig as Michelle on GL. DF did make the character his own beyond showing off his assets, so I don’t want to denigrate him. He’ll be 50 next year, which makes me feel old.

    He still looked great on Brooklyn Nine-Nine with his wife:

     

    No, I couldn't see YM as a romantic lead either.
