Given  how many years it took Strictly, I could see it happening here as well, but both shows are completely  hollowed out and overproduced to the point of parody at this point. The main difference is that  Strictly at least had the decency to only spend one year trying to rehab a far right  figure. DWTS doing this over and over and over and over is one of the reasons I quit.

Same here.

Interesting...

I had my flu shot today, too. I'm glad I got them both and out of the way. 

When I got my first two covid shots at the beginning of this year, I had little to no side effects. I felt like I hit a brick wall this afternoon. Lethargy, joint aches and the overwhelming urge to just lie down. Thankfully, some of it has passed now.

I have a feeling Jade Perkins was supposed to be more of a vixen at the beginning, but Missy Reeves (Brennan at the time) played her more as an adorable kitten. Honestly, the best screen partner she had on SB was Kerry Sherman (Amy Perkins). They had maybe the best big sister/little sister relationship I've ever seen on soaps.

They're still calling it that?

I still find it disgusting that people would yell rape me to Tony at events.  

As a survivor myself, I don't even have any words. It's beyond the pale.

Kin was the hot hearthrob at the time, although he was being diminished by Geary and the turn in writing away from Scotty and Laura.

I'm sure he was a little miffed that he was no longer the center of that story.

His contract was up and P&G offered him a record salary to move to Texas.

So he probably thought why not?

It was only for a year and as it happened he went back to GH anyway.

I think it ended up working out well for Kin. He's got to be one of the most adored by his peers actor to ever appear on daytime. Soap actors, past and present, West Coast and East Coast alike just love him.

No one was ever charged in Amy Perkins Wallace's death in the bomb explosion, right? Earlier in the episode, the one protestor was shown putting the explosive device in the can that he deliberately handed to Hayley and urged her to throw. I think they just dropped that part of the story was dropped too quickly. She really was framed.

Of course, Amy (for all intents and purposes the last remnant of one of the show's original core families) was too quickly forgotten once Kerry Sherman left. As much as I liked Kerry Sherman (who left SB and show business altogether while pregnant with her second child - her first pregnancy had been written into the storyline), I felt Amy should have been recast. Her husband, Brick - the biological son of Sophia and Lionel - was too quickly marginalized. I also loved Amy's friendship with Julia. They didn't have to kill her off.

Oh, The Atlantic. Got it, thanks.

Moderna is said to be meeting with FDA tomorrow and Friday, so we'll probably hear something soon either way.

Trump never really cared about the GOO, they were a means to an end for him.

What isn't a means to an end for him? The GOP deserved what they got, and we're all paying the price.

Maybe Marcello is the only person in soapdom who is creeped out by dating his step parent 

Now there's an odd bird.

His husband had tagged him in some pics on Instagram last year. If you search his name as a tag you can still find them. 

Has JJ said he will come back full time or are we talking about one off days here and there? I’m surprised as he moved his family to Ireland. 

Yeah, I don't see either of them returning full-time or anytime soon.

I actually prefer her style over other matriarchs. I loved Nancy Hughes on ATWT but she was very domineering and interfered a lot.

Yes, she was the queen of the guilt trip.

Timothy Dalton had a huge TV hit in the mid/late 80s playing Mr. Rochester on Jane Eyre miniseries

It was 1983. My mom loooooooved that miniseries. I think she wore out her VHS copy.

Circa 1977:

I'm thinking somebody like Timothy Dalton.

Our local facility didn't have the equipment to store Pfizer back in January, so there wasn't a choice.

I'm in home health, and in January and February health care workers from all over county (including office receptionists) got vaccinated in the local public works garage. In fact, my second shot was 8 months ago today.

Still Marlowe had a great fatherly/grandfatherly presence on Another World, and I did enjoy him as Jim.   

That's what I noticed about him in the episodes circa 1980 that I saw on YouTube.

Good for you!  I would have had mine by now but Moderna has yet to be approved for boosters.

My folks are in the same boat. Hopefully, there will be an announcement soon. I feel grateful that at my job we had Pfizer.

Lots of intersections there…

Definitely, especially with behind the scenes people.

I just got my booster!

It was absolutely like that, and it made mediocre-to-bad stories worse. But the heart of the show was back and a sense of fun was there, and that improved morale for people tremendously post-JFP so we forgave a lot. Even the day to day writing was really pretty poor.

It's the ultimate irony that a rapist became the lead and "hero", when the victim's story was the most fascinating tale on daytime AND primetime TV. Marty and ultimately the audience deserved better.

Susan Ward, who’d been on Aaron Spelling’s Malibu Shores, joined Spelling’s Sunset Beach as Meg. (Aaron’s son Randy, of course, was on both series as well.) Carol Potter (Joan) had been on BH90210 as Brenda and Brandon’s mom.

 

On the same show, Margarita Cordova (Carmen) had previously worked at the other SB with Pratt/Guza/Bennett (who wrote for both shows).

This is more an Atlantic thing. The media is fascinated with "vaccine hesitancy" bc they always try to cater to 'the real America' but they've also excoriated the antivaxx problem without always making the direct connection to the 'hesitant' people they love to cover. Whereas the Atlantic, in recent months and years, has become fascinated with posting the most contrarian takes possible. This is their unique wheelhouse.

I never looked at it that way, though I'm not from the Atlantic states or live in one. Thanks.
