Sinema's involvement is so brazen it's beyond belief. The only bright spot in the current chaos is that both she and Manchin have been thoroughly exposed - I am seeing key CNN, etc. reporters, not liberal people, openly gunning for them, all saying this is about these two personally and not the party's concerns but they are holding up everything in the party on behalf of themselves and no one else, with a surprising lack of equivocation or excuses. This is open corruption, egomania, or both, and it can't stand forever.

Ratioed to 7K and counting:

WTF?

I'll never forget the pretentious THR critic who insisted Twin Peaks Season 3 would be irrelevant because we have Legion on FX. That aged well!

The 'glitches' will be Locher manually cutting the feed in every fourth word out of Eileen's mouth.

I think she was just way too pretty and overall femme and delicate for Billie, who I associated with being a bit butch, spunky and tough. Lisa Rinna was a fairly unique hire for soaps, and I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw the recast. The character also became weak and whiny. The key issue was that they made Billie a disposable vixen/ingenue with Allen, she was just a plot widget. That being said, Krista has some ability and I think she'd do well on this kind of show as Taylor.

I think it'd be beneath her at this point to join the Thorsten Kaye rung of random recasts on this shitshow, tbh. They'd be better off making a new role for her.

I did not recognize James Carroll, who's much more attractive here than on the show - or maybe I just disliked Leo that much in the eps online. Woo, the '90s fashions!

How about you leave my name out of your mouth when I never reported you once in all your long years, did you the courtesy of staying out of your latest "I'm leaving forever" thread that predictably lasted about 10 days, and even went out of my way to say that your relentless creep [!@#$%^&*] was the least of the forum's problems? Thanks. Best of luck with your next ten years.

I know they retconned Meg into having had Scott with weird psychic spy D.V. Bordisso on PC (or as one poster on USENET, I believe, used to refer to the storyline, "just Scott going around hissing 'Bordisso!' for months"). I can't recall any specifics from anyone talking about Meg much back then though; I wish I could know where to look for PC material from the '90s discussing her troubled life at all.

There's at least an episode or two of Susan in the second Irna Phillips era of the early '70s on YT.

I don't get this new angle that "Nikolas neglected Spencer for his whole life" that some online folks seem to push. Uh, what? Nikolas raised Spencer both in Europe and Port Charles on and offscreen for the bulk of his life before his 'death' in 2015, including in the several IRL years TC was gone until his return in '13. Obviously what Nik pulled to get one over on Valentin after he fell into that ocean was despicable, but in the years before that Nik had been there for Spencer for almost his entire childhood and he was a constant and committed parent until the recast. I can totally buy the rift in recent years since Coloma took over, but I also watched the show. I am far from Nikolas' biggest fan in the last 15 years, but people get too sprung for this twunk or the teen couple and want to totally rewrite history. Nik can be wrong for what he did after he 'died' and Spencer can be wrong for this crazy stalker mess - it's not an either/or, and it was never as simple as "Nik never had time for Spencer" because that's just not true. That being said, Jesus, Coloma got way too thin.

Not quite so classic, but still a very memorable moment - Tracy's return in 2003. It won't embed, so here. I will never forget this, as my exposure to Tracy had been minimal before the 21st century. I started watching in '93 right around the time she left, and I only had very vague memories of her from '96 and on The City as I was in school and could only fake sick so much. Tracy's reputation preceded her, but seeing her in the flesh Jane Elliot was an incredible shock of adrenaline to the show and the cast in a particularly moribund, Fab 4-obsessed period that year. She upended every scene she entered. IIRC her first return was a brief stint to bring on Scott Clifton's Dillon and de-Q Skye - a vindictive stiletto in the ribs from Guza to JFP's reign, which as an OLTL fan I deeply enjoyed; I hated Skye acting like she belonged there - but JE was so, so good that I thought they'd be insane to keep her gone for very long. And they didn't; she was back on contract within months. I remember her hysterically dissing each of the Qs in turn. Stuart Damon's reaction to Tracy cutting Alan down to size does not appear to be acting - he looks delighted.

Lord, now we have obviously fake twitter spoiler accounts. One yearns for the days of Ivana Kipling.

SF was too huge for them to drop (and London too boring to redo) but I have no desire to see Puck or Rachel again at this point.

I lost it over this one. I caught NY late as a kid and loved it in reruns but LA was my first full-on season. No Dom or Aaron, I see.

Yeah, recasting Jax serves no purpose. Bye, dude.

That is hilarious.

I remember that. I totally believe the rumor that Vanessa made him change it.

Krista has aged enough that I think the recast can work fine. I do think it's a shame they've lost several key actors in these big roles - Thorsten Kaye is just a different character altogether - but given the alternatives and the overall quality of the show, I can't be inclined to care much. So long as she never plays Billie Reed again.

Smart - Youngkin is running from Trump.

I feel for her and the longtime audience but she's been a mess a long time.

You tried it, ho! You better run!

The one and only Tamara Tunie (ATWT) appears here in the trailer for Netflix's, uh, iffy live-action remake of the classic anime Cowboy Bebop. I'll give it a chance for the actors, but it's hard to improve on perfection and looks a bit like a fan film to me.
