I wasn't aware of it, but apparently this season of Picard is half or less the budget of DSC and the first season. They have been cannibalizing a lot of the prior seasons' sets much more than I would ever have realized. It reminds me of how Paramount nickel and dimed Nicholas Meyer's Trek films (Khan and The Undiscovered Country), the best of the lot. They're making a lower budget work. But I am glad to know Paramount is still committed to Trek with SNW and very possibly a Titan spinoff.

Wow. That is a deep cut. I always liked her.

As much as Hudson Hawk and his music career got lampooned, I think he had talent as a song and dance man. With more musical vehicles like the revival ones we have now he could've done better work in romantic comedy than he often got in film.

It's poignant to see these given Bruce's current condition. Thanks.

What does it say? "I can't see?"

@AdelaideCate007 Alex Kurtzman (oy) confirmed they've begun shooting Season 3 of SNW ahead of an official renewal. Meanwhile, is back this week. Preview pix.

She was having a lot of work done in past years so I assume it's another sad Joan Van Ark situation.

As expected, this is ancillary material:

Lord, not "Victor Newman" trending at 6 AM again but for the wrong reasons.

John, just take the L.

I think Eric may be jumping the gun on this one. I'm not sure I've ever heard Eva [!@#$%^&*]-talk the soaps.

I have no issue with Peter or Kristian together. I just think most of their stories in the last 30 years have sucked, lol. That's not their fault. Re-pairing Bo and Billie definitely wouldn't work now, though.

I think with Kristian back there was no way they could've allowed Bo/Billie to continue despite their popularity, unless Kristian had majorly taken off with someone else. (Which has never happened, despite many attempts including many with Drake, some by JER himself) I adored Bo and Billie as a kid and was heartbroken by their break-up, but I knew it was probably inevitable bc I'd been made familiar with the legend of Bo and Hope.

I've heard different things about RKK and Genie from different people to be fair, but I did hear there were issues at every show up til he was fired in '01 when the biotoxin story got killed by 9/11.

It's because Katie, like most B&B characters, is ultimately just an interchangeable chess piece. Victoria as originally conceived as a young woman was another story.

As others have said, it was more serious than that. Almost every single leading lady he's ever worked with hated him, including allegedly Genie Francis at GH, and he allegedly had an issue with being too friendly, to use a euphemism. That would not fly today. JFP was the reason he got hired at GH and re-hired at AW, IIRC, after the scandal; she was probably the only one who would touch him. RKK was the first Bo I ever saw and I always thought he was scorching hot and an excellent actor. I did not welcome the un-recast as a kid. But knowing what I learned later I understand the situation, and he should not be active on daytime today.

Oh, I'd forgotten all about this. What fun. Meanwhile: Also, Deadline claims to have confirmed the UNIT rumor with sources at the BBC. But RTD has shot down talk of a new children-themed spinoff for now, sadly. Per an interview with SFX Magazine: I do think it will happen eventually, hopefully with Katy Manning as persistently rumored.

Post-#MeToo I doubt anyone goes near RKK for a major role ever again. I can stomach guest appearances from time to time but it was sketchy even bringing him back on GH in the early 2010s.

I'm surprised Shemar wouldn't show, but neither did Tonya Lee Williams it seems.

ETA: I take it back - Bauer looks a lot more healthy (if uh, uniquely garbed) in the Getty images.

A great many hair and fashion choices are being made at this party. I do respect Tricia Cast showing up in a Van Halen bomber jacket.

Unbelievable. Lance Reddick was a towering talent, not just on The Wire where he was exceptional but in so, so many things.

LOL, that's great.
