Christine Jones' maternal grandfather was Branch Rickey, the legendary baseball general manager who signed Jackie Robinson to the Dodgers. This image appeared on Twitter:

That sequence has stood the test of time!

Yeah, but it's more than some others have done. Hopefully, he'll take being sick to heart and be careful from now on.

There's a listing on etsy for a Capitol novel. I didn't even know one existed.

It's ridiculous. Lots of people would love to see those episodes.

And then you had the people who chose to leave, like RW, LD and TM. Eden was the only Capwell kid to be played by only one performer. I'm not sure an Eden recast would have been successful. We'll never know.

I know Rock himself has said he's vaccinated, but he definitely should be more careful.

Imdb shows that he appeared in four Perry Mason episodes.

Didn't New World Productions (which owned SB) fold not too long after SB went off the air? Or was it bought out? All things considered, it was a shame that MW and AM couldn't at least have come back for the finale. I don't even think they were approached about it.

Sad but true!

Good news on the vaccine front for kids: https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.cnn.com/cnn/2021/09/20/health/pfizer-child-vaccine-data/index.html

I think you're onto something there. I remember reading that Phil Carey would get his hand wet and get Jacquie Courtney to shake hands, getting the words she'd scribbled on her hand to smear and wash away. So the story went. The Buchanan gentlemen were known as being pranksters, especially back then.

Those are all great picks. It would also be nice to hear from James Reynolds.

Gotta love these previews. I don't even remember Family Secrets.

I do remember hearing that the Janet planting a bomb story had to be scrapped in light of the OKC bombing, but not that the scenes were initially set to air with a disclaimer. Thankfully, they did the right thing and ultimately didn't air the scenes. Thanks for posting the articles.

Those are all good reasons. Thanks. I wonder how SB would have been like if MW had stayed and A Martinez had left. What would SB have been like with an Cruz-less Eden?

I still wonder why she didn't.

Dan and Louise are going to be married: https://www.google.com/amp/s/tvline.com/2021/09/16/the-conners-season-4-preview-dan-louise-wedding-katey-sagal/amp/

The Senate actually fired the parliamentarian in 2001. Here's why: https://www.nytimes.com/2001/05/08/us/rules-keeper-is-dismissed-by-senate-official-says.html

Yes, and no doubt sped up the demise of the show. You just can't ignore everything that has been written and aired, then expect to just pick up where you left off.

I know they returned late into the Eden departure story and MW had already put in her notice, but I still wish Eden had gotten a better exit. The multiple personality story got to be too confusing and convoluted.

It all makes sense and goes along with the adage, "write what you know".

All the best to Chris Rock. 🙏

Thanks.

They probably didn't have more recasts than other soaps, but they did have a lot of recasts for only being on the air for 8 1/2 years.
