If Thomas' seat goes, the GOP would do anything short of another 1/6 and possibly that to try to prevent the seat from being filled. But no, Thomas being ill is definitely not the GOP's plan.

Ashland finessing Nate with his fake cancer is not exactly a ringing endorsement for his skills.

Weiss' stock has definitely fallen in Substack exile. She's becoming toxic. That being said, the NYT is still trying hard to pursue the 'cancel culture' beat, leading to last week's public roasting. We'll see how long it lasts.

I don't think she looked 30, lol. I do think they made her up to look much more adult. She looked great to me, but she also was allegedly on a lot of drugs.

I cannot believe Amanda is still around. For God's sake. If you can bring back Diane Hilary is a breeze.

I said when Carlivati got fired that given the state of the show at the time they should've brought back the (alleged) cocaine tables from Monty's reign to work round the clock to overhaul the show, and I stand by it now.

I had no idea he was still Forrest Alamain. Wow. Who is Petrov again? The entire Jigsaw/Yo Ling thing was so insane and also so very vintage Josh Griffith, almost adjacent to his uber-gothic second OLTL run with Michael Malone. Who with his excesses def should've gotten a shot at this show. The whole 'private school, league of assassins' thing is actually great fun for a show like this IMO, but not with the 17th retcon of John's identity and Tobin Bell lol. I don't mind the bones of the retcon but I feel they should've left it alone.

Oh, we're not exactly weeping into our beers, trust me.

They also can't keep him on ice for two and a half more years should worst - 🤐 - come to worst. One way or another Biden will confirm someone.

Somehow, Bari Weiss continues marginalizing herself all the more:

I'll believe it when I see him. Habeas corpus!

These things are often superficial. AD is harder/stronger-featured in the face and has a more aggressive/masculine energy. Walters definitely looks younger. Plus, IIRC when AD got dumped her story was directly intersecting with MTS and a potential challenge to her character, which allegedly her husband the showrunner did not like. I believe it and it's been out there for years.

My PTV GH avatars used to change constantly with the absurdities of the Carlivati/Valentini era, so I thought why not add one here for old time's sake with something equally absurd?

It's the hair and makeup.

Out Noah the cuck goes!

Every time I've seen Alex Donnelley [sic] there is a visceral intensity to her anger or spite. You believe she's going to fùck someone up. It doesn't surprise me the network or EP might've preferred someone younger and/or less hard, but you don't get that everyday in daytime. I think Susan Walters is pretty good though.

If they wanted to impress me they'd say Rachel Locke.

Didn't they say Forrest Alamain was supposed to have died in the family pool?? Such wacky stuff.

Face Journeys, with Finola Hughes and Tristan Rogers: I love the second shot where she's downcast/'pensive' trying to keep a straight face, which does not last. The attempt at hip-hop dancing around 1:52 also sends me.

Jenny is clearly supposed to be enraptured with him. I know Monty was pushing Jenny Eckert hard as the central young ingenue. And yes, Connor performing live to his own music video is beyond extra. It is E! News Live.

Shawn looks pretty hot in these business suits. I'm gonna miss him.

Yeah, like I said: You can hear the opening melody of Autumn Breeze in FOTH (and in the piano music cue we've mentioned which I think came in with JFP, which emulates both). Ever since I noticed it awhile ago I can't stop hearing it. It's brilliant work and part of why the FOTH opening is IMO still timeless and should be updated and reinstated today.

Oh, it's been GIFed in the thread a few pages back I believe.

Seriously. I was waiting for him to get a bit more nasty with Paul before saying something because I try not to acknowledge him at all, but I've had enough. Imitation is not the sincerest form of flattery.

I mean, I think I definitely hear its opening in the opening of FOTH and I'm glad I'm not the only one. But YMMV.
