Oh, Bragman is scum.

Wow, Kasi Lemmons lost the part of Angie to Debbi. I'm skimming but there are some cringeworthy errors here - the host says she went back to AMC in '93 and pretty much stayed to the end. OTOH, Debbi herself says she left the first time to follow Charles S. Dutton to L.A. and do "Port Charles", which, no.

I find Irna's moral ethos fascinating - IIRC she identified with Kim somehow, yet punished so many characters (and actors) for far less. Was Kim made in her fantasy image of herself?

My thoughts are with you and yours.

After several long years, Joel Bocko's indispensable video essay series Journey Through Twin Peaks has returned.

Fiona hasn't aged a day. Andrea and Ilene are discussing Roscoe Born and Phil Carey. LOL I didn't know Ilene would go join the Buchanan men on their infamous 'acting coach' drinking lunches when she was first on the show (as Georgina Whitman in the '80s). Fiona loved working with PC but said working with him after lunch was "flying solo". Tonja Walker: "[Guest star] Elaine Stritch scared the living bejesus out of me." I had no idea Ann Reinking came on during the Mortimer Bern story! Wow, Ilene is talking Sylvia Miles. I remember her brief stint as Roxy's gorgon mother.

Contrast this to '80s OLTL, where in an ep on YouTube they are very clearly playing an instrumental version of Michael Jackson's "The Way You Make Me Feel," lol.

Jeremy emceeing the Corinth press conference during the Loving Murders - talk about shoehorned.

Do they mean the Netflix run, or Pop?

Wow, Will Estes got denied? Jeez.

Meanwhile, on MSNBC:

Grim used Blasey-Ford to try to, of all things, take a shot at Dianne Feinstein, the dreaded centrist. It played great with his very online friends and no one else. Other people's real struggles are just tools to the far right and further left - Reade's allegations were simply another convenient cudgel.

Why would Genie specifically mention a private anecdote this forum only heard about from Jacob Young yesterday in an interview done years ago? Just because one person tells a backstage story at one point in their life doesn't mean all their colleagues are expected to retell it too - especially not years before they did. Like JY, he was an inferior recast. (I doubt she could sniff out the serial con artist Stephen Martines became IRL.)

Oh my God.

I'm legit worried about Debbi Morgan, who I last saw sobbing and inconsolable about COVID-19 on Instagram. I hope she turns up if not for this event, then soon. Very classy of Josh Duhamel. I hope Kim Delaney is in a good place to turn up sometime - she was close to Agnes to the end.

As to the first two episodes, show's still great. Flows fine. The presence of Max (who returned in the S3 finale) onscreen in Penelope's fantasies makes me suspect he's not gone for good despite the promises of a new love interest, though. I'd be fine with more Max. If you have trouble finding the show via Other Means if you don't have Pop, hit me up.

Not Netflix anymore, but anyway I am finally getting deep into these six episodes, the only ones filmed for S4 before the pandemic hit. That said, ODAAT has solved its pandemic problem: @DRW50 @All My Shadows @dragonflies

Former CBS?/P&G? PR flack Alan Locher's many soap star livestreams via zoom on YT (including today's first OLTL one with RSW/HBS, the DePaivas and Tuc Watkins) included an AMC-centric with Cady McClain, MEK and Cady's husband Jon Lindstrom. I believe he also did a long solo one for AMC with Susan (dressed to the nines in quarantine, ofc) and has done/will be doing another. The next OLTL one next week will have the notoriously press-shy Fiona Hutchison, Andrea Evans, Tonja Walker and Ilene Kristen. There's also been several for GL/ATWT.

No surprise. I have to catch up on the last few episodes, plus start ODAAT S4.

Oh, that's tragic. I loved her brief run on OLTL 2.0 - given her poor material on ATWT, she was a revelation. Best wishes.

Darnell! Where is Debbi??

Tuc talks about getting the network brass mad for going up on the roof with Roger Howarth, Christopher Douglas (Dylan) and Nathan Fillion to take off their shirts and smoke cigarettes in the sun, in full view of the network brass’ building windows. HBS quotes Phil Carey: You can’t just sit on this stuff and memorize it through your ass. You have to memorize it!” Bob Woods discusses being fascinated by Roger Thorpe and Rita on GL.
