I just saw a commerce on Pluto TV. Looks like they are going to air new ODAAT along with the original on the One Day At A Time Channel

Do they mean the Netflix run, or Pop? 

Wow, Will Estes got denied? Jeez.

Meanwhile, on MSNBC: 

Grim used Blasey-Ford to try to, of all things, take a shot at Dianne Feinstein, the dreaded centrist. It played great with his very online friends and no one else. Other people's real struggles are just tools to the far right and further left - Reade's allegations were simply another convenient cudgel.

Why would Genie specifically mention a private anecdote this forum only heard about from Jacob Young yesterday in an interview done years ago? Just because one person tells a backstage story at one point in their life doesn't mean all their colleagues are expected to retell it too - especially not years before they did.

Why didn't GF like Colton Scott? Does she have something against latinos?

Like JY, he was an inferior recast. (I doubt she could sniff out the serial con artist Stephen Martines became IRL.)

VR keeps saying Bill Bell worked with her on the foster child story with Devon - what is the background on this? I thought Bell was phasing himself out of HWing around '98 or so, and he died around the same time of the story.

Oh my God.

I'm legit worried about Debbi Morgan, who I last saw sobbing and inconsolable about COVID-19 on Instagram. I hope she turns up if not for this event, then soon.

Very classy of Josh Duhamel. I hope Kim Delaney is in a good place to turn up sometime - she was close to Agnes to the end.

As to the first two episodes, show's still great. Flows fine. The presence of Max (who returned in the S3 finale) onscreen in Penelope's fantasies makes me suspect he's not gone for good despite the promises of a new love interest, though. I'd be fine with more Max.

If you have trouble finding the show via Other Means if you don't have Pop, hit me up.

Not Netflix anymore, but anyway I am finally getting deep into these six episodes, the only ones filmed for S4 before the pandemic hit. That said, ODAAT has solved its pandemic problem: @DRW50 @All My Shadows @dragonflies

Which AMC livestream with Jon Lindstrom? 

Former CBS?/P&G? PR flack Alan Locher's many soap star livestreams via zoom on YT (including today's first OLTL one with RSW/HBS, the DePaivas and Tuc Watkins) included an AMC-centric with Cady McClain, MEK and Cady's husband Jon Lindstrom. I believe he also did a long solo one for AMC with Susan (dressed to the nines in quarantine, ofc) and has done/will be doing another. The next OLTL one next week will have the notoriously press-shy Fiona Hutchison, Andrea Evans, Tonja Walker and Ilene Kristen. There's also been several for GL/ATWT.

No surprise. I have to catch up on the last few episodes, plus start ODAAT S4.

Oh, that's tragic. I loved her brief run on OLTL 2.0 - given her poor material on ATWT, she was a revelation. Best wishes.

Darnell! Where is Debbi??

Tuc talks about getting the network brass mad for going up on the roof with Roger Howarth, Christopher Douglas (Dylan) and Nathan Fillion to take off their shirts and smoke cigarettes in the sun, in full view of the network brass’ building windows.

HBS quotes Phil Carey: You can’t just sit on this stuff and memorize it through your ass. You have to memorize it!”

Bob Woods discusses being fascinated by Roger Thorpe and Rita on GL.

JdP is a pirate now. Monocle and long hair! Bob Woods has a gorgeous white beard.

His first day: "Andrea Evans walks by and you check out her ass."

Tuc got his job bc he laughed at Robin in his screen test when she resisted kissing him.

I don't know about totally unbroken, but I first picked up much of ATWT near the start of Marland's run in late '85-January '86 a couple years ago after only watching random bunches of episodes before, and just picked it up again this month seamlessly. You get the culmination of the Doug Cummings story in February sweeps, the Craig/Sierra/Tonio drama with Lucinda, the build of Holden and Lily, the arrival of Meg and slow introduction of Iva, etc. and more. I'm still going. It's amazing stuff. Prior '80s ATWT with the Dobsons, Horgan, Bunim, etc. is a kooky curio to me atm but not my main interest now.

Both!

Honor Roll Johnny has made a fatal mistake. @DRW50

Jon Lindstrom's story on the AMC livestream about Bruce Dern living in fear of David Canary while auditioning for '60s TV was great.

@DRW50 pls use the white courtesy phone and check primetimer, ty

I think it's a story angle any responsible soap should explore.

I'm no better, bc my ideal return for Erika rn would be playing Viki as a journalist of authority in a flashy town crisis storyline on GH.

And yes, Erika has talked about Joanne Dorian's firing before.

My ancient babysitter as a small child was an avid fan of Marland’s ATWT and Y&R in the 80s and early 90s. I vividly remember both intros and remember that Nadia’s Theme used to drive me nuts. I also vaguely recall the Peabo Bryson OLTL intro. I soaked up vague impressions of each show.

Some years later I got into them on my own when home from school. I immediately internalized OLTL around ‘93, gravitating to gritty, visceral performers like Susan Haskell or idiosyncratic ones like Hillary B. Smith. To this day Nora is probably still my favorite character. I’d never seen or heard anyone like Robin Strasser before, just the name “Dorian Lord” was foreboding- she fascinated me. I loved Max and Luna, later Patrick, Antonio and Andy, Todd and Blair. And Erika Slezak did and does remind me of my mother. I’ll always adore her. I became very taken with Reiko Aylesworth as Rebecca Lewis later.

To a preteen kid OLTL seemed less stereotypical, more mature and modern than the others on ABC, though I was instantly fascinated by Luke and Laura’s big return on GH and became a huge fan of it as well as to a slightly lesser extent AMC - I loved Dimitri, Edmund and Maria and was terrified of Janet. My early crush on Sarah Michelle Gellar quickly gave way to an equally strong crush on Jonathan Jackson, who was my age. I loved Kevin and Lucy, Robin, Bobbie, Emily etc. Those families onscreen were mine too. I also watched a lot of Reilly’s DAYS - I adored Lisa Rinna as Billie and RKK’s Bo, and the Gina/Hope story as well as Kristen, the possession etc were compulsive viewing to me. I also was big on mid-'90s Loving/The City, specifically the Loving Murders and the Hubbards.

I didn’t really begin to explore the CBS soaps until the late 90s, which was hardly a good time for most of them. It took me years to discover and appreciate their rich history.
