Is GH though? Who are they adding? Where is Trina's story?

Jesus, can we please not make another thread about Ron.

Meanwhile: A gift link of AOC and Smith's editorial in the Times on this.

Hoo boy. Now so do I.

Martin's accent is one thing (I do find it weird it's gone). Lois' is iconic and she sounds like a non-English native speaker without it atm. It better come back.

I was just thinking of Kristoff. I wish he was here for this.

I would love to see Debbi Morgan of course, but Debbi doesn't need the work. (Then again nor does Tamara.) It's obviously not a priority but given the deep GH bench at the show I wouldn't be shocked to see Sarah Brown turn up. If they really wanted to troll ABC they'd try to get Vanessa Marcil to pull a Rosemary Prinz guest stint, but that would also potentially fly in the face of the show's Black-focused goals atm. Not sure adding a big white star would send a great message out of the uh, gate. Vicky Rowell, OTOH...

I think they're angrier that she isn't courting them vs. local media and more diverse journalists (who they consider lesser). The 'define her' game has largely ended, according to the new polling - Harris' favorables among voters are all up. They've gotten to know her and like her. I do think Harris should do more interviews both as candidate and potential POTUS, but for now the campaign knows Axios, etc. mostly want to play gotcha games and drive narrative with responding to Trump and she's not giving them that oxygen. She's doing media and interviews her way. Harris has an interview with Oprah today, I believe. Meanwhile: The ever-angrier Jonathan Martin continues to play "Here's How Bernie Trump Can Still Win", inexplicably citing states that Trump lost 2 out of 3 last time as an 'electoral firewall':

Seeing the race barreling in a direction they don't like, Axios is pissed (and ratio'ed). The co-author is of course Alex Thompson, who has been hardcore chumming for drama/oppo on Harris since Biden dropped out (who he relentlessly pursued, particularly after losing a book deal). He hasn't tweeted anything positive for Biden/Harris in... I don't know how long.

As an Alien series stan I would prefer they nab hot-ass Ricco Ross (who was on GH last year).

I wouldn't be shocked if they go after Tabyana Ali if GH lets her go. ABC would be very stupid to stay the course with General Whites, but here we are.

Wait, Karla Mosley has a 20 yo daughter on this show?!

Thanks, Errol.

She was Rachel in 2009-10. She was very well-received but sadly let go in the minority purge in the spring of '10. The only Rachel recast HBS approved of!

I'm going to have to review the character sketches for the two daughters. Not sure where to look. I've never been big on KM but Tunie is a huge get. I wasn't sure she'd ever do daytime again. Daphnee of course I love. (It means she can’t be tentpole Rachel Gannon Buchanan in the OLTL revival in my head that is never ever happening, but oh well.)

My OCD ass is proud to be the one to needlessly post in here that Tamara Tunie (Jessica Griffin, ATWT), Daphnee Duplaix Samuel (Rachel Gannon, OLTL) and Karla Mosley (Maya Avant, B&B) are all joining Michele Val Jean's CBS soap Beyond the Gates.

Daphnee Duplaix (Rachel #4) is joining is joining Michele Val Jean's new CBS soap Beyond the Gates! Deets in the main discussion folder.

My girl Daphnee! Rachel Gannon hive!!

A bit more. Again, I'm sure the numbers are possibly underestimated in some polls and perhaps overblown in others. But the trends are clear post-debate. In any event, the polls that insist on ties work for us in terms of turnout and focus.

A GOP pollster indicates potentially good news in NC: Cohn admits Harris' PA gains are not an outlier:

More pretty good polls (Emerson is the outlier):

Marist shows tighter but still good numbers: I'm fine with this - other polling has us further up, and it allows people not to get complacent.
