Gotta feel sorry for poor Noelle Beck and the bridal gear she had to wear as Trisha Alden on Loving:

Noelle Beck had to have the most, ahem, INTERESTING bridal wear on the show.

The NFL is even considering letting positive but  asymptomatic players play.

Of course. Anything that affects the NFL's bottom line...ugh.

Thanks. Is the entire Nixon soap library archived?

I  had blurry memories of some of this but here's a tabloid article at the time:

 

Beverly Johnson also was allegedly one of Bill Cosby's victims, too. WOW.

I guess we could count the entire pandemic for this topic?

Yes. I believe so. I’m reading on wiki and Rebecca is quoted saying it sounds so debutant dggdgdgdgd

Yeah, I went back and found that Greenlee's mother was Mary Greenlee Smythe (played by the incomparable Anna Stuart).

Did they make those books for all the soaps at that time?

Instead of Hulk Hogan, maybe Liza's brother Gary returned?

Maybe Hulk WAS Gary? Hey, it's a soap.

!!!!!! I don’t understand it. Everyday I visit YouTube there’s real classic episodes being uploaded of so many of the other soaps and not my Crown Jewel. 

What's the earliest AMC episode up there? 1980?

Despite the fact that Ms. Walker left of her own volition, the fans would have revolted if Eden had been recast. (Everyone was probably hoping she'd come back after the cancellation of Palace Guard.)

I'm actually liking how this new variant is being addressed here. People are being told to be cautious but there are no alarm bells. 

Exactly. I hope this attitude keeps up.

I'm still surprised that The Doctors never brought Toni Ferra Powers back from the dead, whether she was still played by Anna Stuart or not.

The Days Christmas movie on peacock. Brandon Barash was suppose to appear but due to Covid he was written out and script was rewritten with Blake Berries included. Blake wasn't part of the original movie.

When was it filmed again?

so I guess that might have been something Drake put in to differentiate from the 2 characters.

I think you're right.

Eileen: Yes I just recently work with Deidre Hall

Alan: You know Deidre!!!??

Eileen: Yes we ...Alan: You know my hot younger husband wanted to make out but I told him I couldn't because I was interviewing you, Brenda Epperson.

How much of the interview will just be about Real Housewives, anyway?

Yes, Julia had awful taste in men. As charming as Jack Lee was, he WAS a cad. 

Yup! I wonder what the plans were for the character had Joel Crothers lived.

TPTB obviously thought those kinds of stunts would boost the ratings, but I always feel like the energy TPTB put into quick fixes is the same energy that could be put into writing, producing and directing worthwhile, quality drama that will go much further with the audience in the long run.

Which led to the fall of the genre, not just individual soaps.

John has a weird habit of calling people by their full names too.  He called Abe Abraham a lot.  I can't remember if he called Lexie-Alexandra though.   He calls Sami Samantha a lot, but then has silly nicknames like Doc, Izzy B, and Tink for his faves I guess lol.

I think a lot of it is also a Drake thing.
