Sorry but every time I see Brenda Dickson nowadays I wonder “what would Deven Green say here?”

Please please please look after yourself, and I hope it’s not the you-know-what. We’re all behind you ❤️

Heheheh...

^^ No, the facial structure doesn’t quite fit to me, even taking into account how she looked when she was younger. I could be mistaken though...

Awww that is the cutest! For someone my age (40), it’s weird visualising Peter Simon and Morgan Fairchild as a relatively short-term on-screen couple.

Ooooh was that the very first time Erica met Mike Roy?

There are “progressives” who think Tucker Carlson is a hero?

Are the ladies seedings based on WTA ranking? If not, it’s pretty crappy that they’re changing for men but not for women 🤨

Thought of you when I saw this @I Am A Swede

Oh god that poor boy. It almost hits close to home, as I am someone on the autism spectrum and have experienced similar struggles to him, although nowhere near the severity of what he did. There is still such a stigma within wider society around neurodiversity, even though big strides have been made over the last 10 years or so. We still have a long way to go though...

Well hello there Mike 😍

Thank you very much for that. Yes I can imagine in those circumstances it would have been a significant year in US history.

Simplistic and yet so poignant. Yes, if there is anything that the world needs now, it is certainly hope. Forgive me for not knowing this (as I’m not from the US), but what was the significance of 1952 that Jo was talking about in her monologue at the end? Did something major happen that year?

Quel f***in surprise 😏

Yep according to synopses he did pretend to be the baby’s father initially, I believe this was when Liza and Travis initially found out that Cissy was Roger Lee’s mother. This was because Cissy didn’t want anyone finding out that Lee was his father (she didn’t want to hurt Lee and Sunny).

Jeff Meek is still looking pretty good nowadays. I’m probably in the minority here, but I actually liked the sibling chemistry that he had with Matt Ashford and David Forsyth on SFT. Each of them very different personalities and could hold their own in their individual stories, yet amazing together when it came to family stuff. Yes I know the McClearys pretty much dominated SFT for the last couple of years of its run, but I can’t help but wonder what would have happened if SFT had got a reprieve and stayed on the air.

This was Soho in London a few hours ago. God help us all...

I’ve wanted to ask you actually... what have you thought of Stefan Löfven’s leadership throughout this pandemic? Stockholm is one of my favourite cities in the whole world, and I have considered maybe shifting there in about 6 months, depending on what further unfolds with the pandemic. It’s a shame, because so many people have been affected by this lockdown that they’ve had enough and are looking for any excuse to go out and socialise, even if the death and case rate is still relatively high. And the government led by BoJo and his cronies have been vague in terms of their communication and justification for easing restrictions, to the point where I believe that if the rates spike up again (as has happened already up in Leicester), they are simply going to blame the public for “not following the rules”.

Personally that whole storyline was what got me hooked on watching SFT episodes on youtube. I’ve heard that P&G played silly buggers with CBS and NBC over SFT, and the affiliates had issues as well with timeslots. I’m not a betting man personally but I would wager theoretically that if it had been in a better timeslot during that storyline, ratings would have gone up massively.

Melbourne is where I lived for 12 years before I moved over to Europe a couple of years ago, and it is extremely heartbreaking to see what is happening down there. Most other cities in Oz have got their infection rates under control (and Melbourne was the same until this recent outbreak). So I really hope they clamp down on this and get it sorted out sooner rather than later. On a related note, England reopened its pubs, cafes, restaurants and hairdressers today, despite the fact that the UK as a whole still has a rolling average daily death rate of 100, and new case rate of 600. As perspective, the UK locked down in March with a death rate of 50. You can see why I might be a little apprehensive...

It just occurred to me... if there was ever a Harvey Weinstein biopic made for whatever reason, Chris Marcantel would be perfect from a resemblance perspective 🤔

I thought her middle name was also Erica, judging by the number of times she always proclaimed “I’m Erica, Erica Kane”... 😏

Sorry to bring it off topic for a moment, but I didn’t even realise until the other night reading old SFT synopses that Peter Simon was Scott Phillips to Courtney’s Kathy. It sounds like they had amazing chemistry and were a big factor in SFT’s popularity in the 70s. Yeah sadly the Bob TV channel got totally deleted 😢, which is a shame because he had some absolute gems up there, of which the Loving Murders was one. And like Vee, it was pure escapism for me in the first few weeks of lockdown here in London. So extremely grateful I got to watch them all.

So the other night I stumbled across a Tumblr full of SOD synopses for SFT, dating back to at least the 70s. And I promptly fell down a massive rabbit hole reading them all. If any of you are interested, they’re here: https://classicsodsft.tumblr.com/ From this, I have a few questions: I know Suzi was Eunice’s daughter, and John Wyatt was her main father figure. But was he actually her biological father? Was Suzi born onscreen? How long was Lewis Arlt on SFT for as David? I know John James played Tom Bergman in the late 70s, but did he reprise the role when Tom returned in the early 80s? Cheers in advance!

My God what is wrong with people?? And I thought gay guys wanting to hook up during lockdown was bad 😳
