I'm spending part of my semi-working holiday still hip-deep in 1986. Can anyone explain the whole backstory with Doug Cummings, his dead wife Caroline, Marsha, etc? It'd be much appreciated. Was there something about horses?

As anyone who frequents this thread probably already knows, Lynch was spotted at Netflix HQ the other day:

— Twin Peaks (@TwinPeaksArchve) June 28, 2018Then an actor posted on FB (which I can't post here) that he was auditioning for Lynch - this notice hit fan sites.
To be clear, I don't think this has anything to do with Twin Peaks. Lynch may be working on his longtime collaborator Duwayne Dunham's new film at Netflix (Dunham directed for the original show and edited Season 3), or he may be talking to Netflix about making one of his own many unmade projects like Ronnie Rocket or Gardenback. I think TP, if it continues, will almost certainly remain at Showtime.
Meanwhile:

I was under the impression Doug was unmasked around NYE '85 but this episode in January sure isn't letting on. It plays full on romantic cues as Doug and Frannie cuddle. Maybe it was later in January?
I was going by SOC and Wikipedia for Iva and Holden but I know they can be inaccurate, so I thought I'd ask. I did just watch Meg's debut. I didn't realize she showed up so soon.
I'll asked Carl this but I'll ask in here as well: In my binge I'm also looking at the Bob and Kim wedding - I've always been curious how long it took from them rekindling their long-ago love from the '70s to the actual marriage in April '85. I know (or think I know, anyway) it wasn't Marland who did it but Susan Bedsow Horgan. I was under the impression Marland debuted shortly thereafter, as wasn't Doug Cummings (played by Marland stalwart John Wesley Shipp) on Bob and Kim's honeymoon cruise?

That's a pretty decent span of time if Iva showed up in August of '85, right? And Holden in October? Sometimes Marland moved quite fast, sometimes he moved slower, it seems. Holden is all but trying to fúck Lily as early as January - well, not early by today's standards.
I hadn't realized Doug Cummings was dead as soon as February sweeps. I thought the story ran a bit longer. I've always found it so creepy when watching pieces of it, now I think I'll watch more. Was it obvious it was Doug, and when did we find out?
Wikipedia suggests Marland didn't start til November '85 but that... can't be right, surely. I was under the impression all the '80s Snyders (to say nothing of Cummings) were his.

Watching some early Marland ATWT in downtime from work (January '86). His era always fascinates and soothes me, but the elegant construction of so many stories and new characters and ideas - specifically, the very slowly unfolding Iva/Lily/Holden/etc. thing which I've seen a fair amount of before, but never the big stuff - always fascinates me. Did we know at this point that Iva was her mother? And how long had Lily been around again, two, three years? Did Marland have a hand in Martha being the recast or no?

I still don't understand how or when John and Barbara happened or for how long. It just seems bizarre to me.

LOL. The backstory to the Stuttering John call to Prez turns out to have been even stupider than first reported. pic.twitter.com/eiSHHRuRa8
— Josh Marshall (@joshtpm) June 29, 2018Meanwhile, Hillary tells it:
“Oh, give me a break,” she erupts... “Give me a break! What is more uncivil & cruel than taking children away? It should be met with resolve and strength. And if some of that comes across as a little uncivil, well, children’s lives are at stake."https://t.co/LT9Z2bwlxA
— Cindy D. Perkins (@CindyDPishere) June 29, 2018That is that ridiculous concept of bothsideism.” She adopts a mockingly prim voice. “‘Well, you know, somebody made an insulting, profane remark about President Trump, and he separated 2,300 children from their families, that’s both sides, and we should stop being uncivil – oh and, by the way, he should stop separating children.’ Give me a break, really,” she growls, rolling her eyes. “I mean, this is a crisis of his making that will damage kids for no good reason at all, and I think everybody should be focused on that until the children are reunited.”

I can't wish that on us any more than I can a silver lining in today's news. There is no upside to that kind of mass horror, anymore than there is to having to potentially go around the country having to try to fuckin' re-legalize abortion state by fuckin' state in the 21st goddamn century. And yes, I've seen people today try to argue that doing so will 'just re-motivate the base!' Or lose the GOP that wedge issue permanently.
No. Some things are not worth the cost.

A bit more from that podcast. Remorse mixed with self-pitying and rationalizing.
I frankly don't think Roseanne is stable enough to ever acknowledge her own learned bigotry. I think she truly believes what she's saying and even feels remorse, but I also think she'd impulsively turn around a few weeks from now and say some other bigoted shít without a thought because the person of color she slammed wasn't someone she knew or was close to. It's the rule most racists develop for black people or people of color - 'the good ones' and then everyone else. That's the compartmentalization in her mind. She transformed into a habitual bigot over a period of years.
Do I think real psychiatric help could help her, maybe, but Roseanne's had a lot of shrinks. She also suffered brain damage. And as many have said, mental illness does not equal racism. But racism can come to the fore or be exacerbated through mental illness.

I think Conn was good in a secondary female lead role, which Katie was for many years. Putting her in the top tier later on was a mistake, and her RL relationship with Austin Peck made them both pretty insufferable though they clicked onscreen initially. She didn't start out cold IMO, but she became cold as the frontburner grind wore her down. And she was too old - or at least, came off too old and hard - to be playing the unnecessarily elongated role they gave her on OLTL.

More from Lynch's audiobook version:
Ahhh! I just got to this part which is NOT in the book: "Sheryl Lee was spectacular! And if people see that film again, just look at what she did. So, so fantastic!" 💙💙💙
