Hoo boy. Y&R had its finger on the puise after all.

Woof, I never knew about this: A letter written to John Enos of Y&R and Melrose Place, no less!

I'd forgotten all about this, from only 10 years ago. I don't think she's made a single good album since the 2000s (Confessions is far from perfect, and Music is a handful of good songs and a lot of obnoxious acoustic/country [!@#$%^&*]; the others beyond Ray of Light are totally forgettable) but she could at least still perform well and put on a show here, especially on Vogue. In some of the choreography for this you wince and can see some of the physical problems that have contributing to wrecking her since.

Last night in Colombia. Yikes. I really thought Madge was smarter than to end up where she has in the last decade or so. I personally don't think any album after her amazing comeback with Ray of Light measured up to it. IMO they became more and more transparent ploys to meet the moment in front of her vs. making one, and got worse and worse (with the exception of Confessions, which was a rather blatant ploy for the gays to save her sales) until they were completely forgettable. Then came her drugged-out, plastic-faced Tiktok era we're in now.

As much as I detest the WH Correspondents' Dinner, it seems Trevor Noah of all people got some good burns in: And:

I've seen some of those times. They had chemistry. Did the show go all the way with Kayla and Richard Biggs as Marcus, or am I imagining something?

100%.

I wouldn't be shocked if he has no real connection, he's just the hapless hunk (or a good guy special agent, for the Jason Morgan gag). Who knows?

tbh I bet you're right. He's Hope's new man who she throws over for Bo.

Robert Wagner and Susan Flannery's deaths in The Towering Inferno always traumatized me. They were such nice people and they die very brutally. It's one of those classic childhood trauma movie moments, lol. All the great disaster movies have at least one of those.

This is an odd stunt even for Ron's many attempts at similar gags on GH and OLTL. What, is Kassie DePaiva going to show up to play opposite him? Or Charlotte Ross?

Well, you guys are certainly upselling this. I'll have to watch!

Longtime DW director Euros Lyn, who was a staple of the original RTD era, is the director for Netflix's new gay YA romance series Heartstopper. It's very cute.

They can keep him.

I didn't realize Sayre and Lisa Brown were close.

She made appearances in the early 2000s, but AFAIK Goutman couldn't have fired her because she wasn't on contract after the mid-'90s.

Jordan is a blank role and a nothing character. I don't see why more actresses of wildly variable talent beyond the lovely Vinessa Antoine should be thrown at a role that should simply be written out.

There's no version of Jordan that's ever had a personality.

Karla Moseley is more talented than this robot. Karla Mosley also has only one facial expression. Jordan has been a needless character from Day 1.

Hot off the press from nihilist Max Tani:

I literally thought the pic of her was some period shot of someone from the '70s.

Lord, once again they've done poor Ari Zucker and her tired character wrong. Why does she look like one of the sister wives from Big Love?

At this point I wouldn't be shocked if she turns out to be in league with Flashman Bock (Ashland, since they keep saying his full name constantly to the point of it becoming gibberish) and they both end up written out simultaneously to resume the test pattern magic of this show. But they could very well keep her on permanently. I'm not sure they know what they're doing with her either. And where is Allie?

Another white guy! Thrilling! I've heard Morgan rumor nonsense for years. Any time a white dude with dark hair under 40 comes on this show folk scream "it's Morgan!!" This guy could be recurring or an under-5. I'll believe it when he's confirmed onscreen and not before. Morgan can rot for all I care.

I shall!
