Gloria Calderon Kellett on ODAAT's future. COVID is a curse. @DRW50 @All My Shadows

I will be rewatching them on All Access. Lesley Goldberg said on her THR podcast a month ago that the show is in flux - possibly that CBS All Access could pick it up, and other rumors swirl that it's because Pop TV may be moving away from scripted work in part due to the pandemic. I think its home at Pop would've been safe for a while if not for COVID-19. I hope the show is okay.

The saga continues:

Uh-oh!

Sure did air against it. As a kid I often had to choose between DAYS at the height of Billie/Bo/Hope (so good!) and the possession and AMC.

I was under the impression the voodoo plotline was in part due to pressure from ABC to emulate DAYS. I could be wrong and that's fan supposition. I remember liking the pre-crazy Taylor. The voodoo thing and then the ludicrous Disney fairy tale wedding for Noah and Julia (which Keith Hamilton Cobb rightly lambasted as a betrayal of his character) turned me off them even as a kid. You put it up against OLTL's gritty stories and characters at the time and AMC just came off corny as fùck a lot, but I understand the contrast in style and tone in the shows more now than I did as a child - today most of its flights of fancy or goofier moments are of a piece with the show's fabric and brand. It was a great show I loved regardless but it had a lot of peaks and valleys in that era. The 2000s still made its flaws look like high art.

Why I'll always love Superman:

That little balcony stunt was his shortest rally ever - under 20 minutes.

Not very strong, since it's likely they'll lose the Senate. But McConnell is playing the long game, hoping to win the midterms. Meanwhile:
