B&B drops people (including Kanan) regularly like they're churning out Happy Meals. There will inevitably be a window to get him back, if FV didn't hate him.

The unctuous Jonathan Martin, increasingly seeing the writing on the wall, begins spinning out his GOP comeback fanfic for AO3. (The clear desire for their renewal is best viewed in the full tweets)

We will take PA and GA again IMO. I've seen this movie before, more than once. But Trump is going to try very hard to shake it loose, he is running out of options.

Agreed on all of the above. And in the end they will absolutely pit Wagger's murder on someone else. That's their only option unless they really want to redo the cold-blooded murder of A.J. which, who knows. I've seen this story so many times on the show - there's always some bullshît escape hatch which exonerates the mob either figuratively or literally, proves Sonny right, etc. This goes back to the Guza II years, where even Dante's childhood idol from his backstory, a beat cop in his neighborhood in Brooklyn, turned out to be corrupt or something to make Sonny look good lol. Somehow there will be some nonsense to get Sonny off.

Pathetic.

Oh, I knew they all encouraged the affair but I didn't know the writers had almost pulled away from it at one point. Thanks.

I think Jane did very well with Judy Trent. Her last scene where Gary explains the dysfunctional way his marriage to Val works and something like how he can only see himself as a decent man through her eyes and Judy says "Gary, that's pitiful!" totally aghast is amazing.

What he's campaigned for all along! I will not be tuning in to see his puppet-like rictus grin 24-7. Maybe he'll finally change his 20 year old profile pic to celebrate. Victoria Lord, take the wheel (the full screencap can be clicked on to view):

This is news to me. Do tell.

As do I. And for me the most poetic choice would be that, unlike in 2012 where it was Monica who knew and had been protecting him for years, we discover it is a resentful Michael, who found out from his grandmother that A.J. was once again clinging to life and has been shepherding him ever since, torn between two fathers. At the worst possible time for Sonny, preferably.

He also said (as James Carville quoted in an actually pretty good op-ed I posted in the Politics Thread) 'strong and wrong beats weak and right'. And he was correct about that re: the GOP approach back then and often in the 21st century. Dems have the wind at their backs and some aggression in the mix now, but they need more and they need to sustain it. The press are not our friends.

I thought the interlacing had to come from whatever unrestored copies they have, but I am no techie.

Don't shoot, but I actually think this James Carville piece is mostly accurate (except for the part about letting Trump ramble too long), particularly this section: This is the piece he references from NBC re: Kamala's debate prep strategy.

Two tweets re: the same worthwhile article, and I agree about what she's done.

Plex is mostly used by people to store movies from the high seas and share with friends and family AFAIK (it's certainly what my friends do with it). The livestreaming stuff was incidental to me and ignored til now.

I think she's great, but the writing (and her hair) were terrible. They tried very hard to fit her into a bland heroine mold at a point when the stories on the show were at a nadir.

Lindsey McKeon is a laughable suggestion. Most of the younger women on the show come off like kewpie dolls or sisterwives now. If the Facebook audience can't take Landon that's their problem. They would've freaked out over Sarah Brown's energy back in the day.

Dude, no.

He's not flipping GA, and I don't believe he'll take PA.

I mean, I would call doing a ton of primetime and then starring on the biggest show on streaming 'leaving daytime' lol. Lots of successful daytime people have been fired from this pointless role or that on a soap and then gone on to bigger success outside of it, which definitely happened for JL. My point being I think at this juncture she is much more likely to leave again, whereas Havins' career has failed to flourish.

A remarkably clear-eyed (for Politico) and not Republican-skewed piece. I still don't think it will be as close as anyone thinks (or claims, to keep turnout up) in the end, but I do think it will be a fight from here to the end.

I would think the opposite. Jen Landon has done quite well for herself and just had a regular role on one of the biggest shows on TV/streaming, which is why I was shocked she was in the running here. Alexa Havins I haven't heard from since the failed transplant of Torchwood to Starz over a decade ago. Landon has been much more successful.
