You mean Brandon's Buzz, Donna. And I don't think that is ever going to happen.

People are chatting away about hypotheticals but I'm not seeing any actual indication that JFP is in any way connected to DAYS or in the running at all.

I think that was the name. He got busted for either dealing or possession in the early 2010s IIRC, so he would fit both the age range and 'a few issues' comment.

Pretty sure one of the people mentioned in that item is one of the pre-Massey Wills (not Chris Gerse).

It is truly weird seeing Steve Burton and Kassie sharing scenes and supposed history. She looks great though.

If you know someone is getting something wrong, then you don't have to respond to literally everything while perpetuating the ahem, 'error'. You can just say they've got the wrong person.

Ah, finally mask off. Next.

I find all Dante and Sam's kids unrecognizable and too old now, to say nothing of Charlotte the mutant. He is. Or should be.

Again, I wouldn't be so sure about the public buying it. There's the usual loud minority voices but I think we're in a real Eat the Rich moment these days, for better or worse, and that starts at the top.

I agree. That's why I've been working on using Nitter to interface with the mess Musk made and still keep using the app/bring tweets around.

He'd probably be replaced by someone as bad or worse morally, but almost certainly not by someone anywhere near as effective. That's a big part of why he is hanging on. Losing McConnell would be a major blow to the GOP.

His name is Albert Alarr. His picture is in this thread and in the dedicated Deadline thread about the news story.

An essential article. Use archive.is or Incognito Mode to bypass paywall.

Lord, not Major Dad!

As someone dealing with a possible diagnosis in my close family related to this I have a difficult time making light of this kind of incident. (And God knows I have before) I will say that if McConnell is out, it's the best thing for us and the worst thing for Jake Sherman and the entire Politico/Axios/Punchbowl generation in some time.

A legend. Two threads:

John, does it really feel like a good use of your time to argue with a star of Abbott Elementary about soaps on the Internet?

Corday is an avoidant and absentee personality. He loves credit for elements that get praise but when it's anything else he claims he's totally uninvolved or blames the media for calling attention to it. He'd announce a media blackout of the major entertainment trades for this if he could. He'll probably beg whatever's left of SOD for an 'exclusive' next. And no, cutting off their access doesn't mean you stop reporting. I don't believe for a second he didn't know all about this. He will claim he didn't. The reality is he most likely knew it all for years but believed Alarr was the only man who could keep the trains running on time who he could 'trust'. That is what most of daytime comes down to now, as I already said.

A very, very smart interview overall.

You used to be unable to pry Martha Madison away from a soap or social media involving a soap she was on tbqh, so that tracks. I feel bad taking a light jab at that aspect of her public life if it is her; it's horrible for anyone.

As I said in the thread about this news, re: why this stuff is allowed to continue for years at soaps including Y&R - Further, the little remaining 'official' soap press (and most of the online soap sites as well tbqh) have absolutely zero interest in doing anything but transcribing press releases and retaining access to the last of the soaps. It's real easy for former soap magazine staff or current online soap bloggers to show out on Twitter whenever a piece of news comes out, but where were you when you knew about it as a supposedly 'open secret' for years and said nothing while reporting on Ken's 54th Plan to Save Days?
