Yeah, it's all her.

Forget it, Khan. It's Chinatown.

Yep, that's her. I recall A Daytime to Remember with Reba McEntire, but I don't remember a specific anniversary celebration. I kind of suspect JFP may have folded it into the primetime episodes with Todd holding everyone hostage at the Buchanan lodge - that would be like her. From the very weird 35th in Malone and Griffith's very weird 2003 - I honestly can't remember much beyond (yet another) OTT gothic fantasy episode in which Natalie and Cristian face hallucinatory fears and doubts about their upcoming wedding, including goofy clip montages of 'those who have loved and lost in Llanview.' Natalie and Cris had been super popular in 2001-2, but were severely backburnered most of the year in favor of Bree's Jessica, Antonio, Mitch, Jen, Flash/Sarah, Walker/Todd, etc. (Flash is already getting backburnered by this episode due to her disastrous intro story with Joey - she went on to spend most of her time with Riley and Asa before exiting the following January.) Natalie and Cris didn't get major airtime again until the fall, with the arrival of John McBain and David Fumero's exit. Malone and Griffith's answer to everything in 2003-2004 seemed to be another OTT gothic fantasy episode. There's even a few I've probably forgotten. There were too many, even for a kid who had grown up watching Dark Shadows. (And frankly the budget strained worse than DS at times.)

Good for him. He was always so cute. Since we've been discussing our early days in Eric's thread, AMC's slew of exotic mansions and estates belonging to royalty and aristocrats in an alleged small town always baffled and annoyed me as a kid, at least at first when I started watching. Later I just went with it - I loved Dimitri and Erica, and Edmund and Maria.

Witness tampering? Good luck, Brett.

You can obtain a free Kanopy subscription and watch ten films or programs per month from their very impressive collection by simply giving it your local library card information (I got a digital library card online from my local one in ten minutes) and watching it on your computer or TV/device via the Kanopy app.

I love this pic - and I love the old and new casts constantly intermingling these days:

The full sketch, even funnier. Rachel Dratch!! Kate McKinnon's Lindsey Graham is wild.

This is hilarious and is going to leave a mark:

I'm sure Jill Phelps would've been willing to give her an audition! I actually think Bransford was talented - she had the same physicality of Carly that Sarah Brown had, which Tamara hadn't. But JB was simply not suited to be playing that kind of heavy lead on a top soap like GH. JFP clearly got her the gig because she was a pal from OLTL, and it was a mistake from the jump. She could not compete with the GH stars in terms of presence. Further, according to Kelly Monaco, Bransford actually went full method and hit her in their epic catfight scene (probably her one crowning achievement as Carly, and very evocative of Brown). Kelly was not pleased.

In hindsight I wish I'd chosen RATT or Cinderella.

The latest development ain't much, but it's all we got. This week has had more twists and turns than I can take. I also had to get in a fight with a woke white leftist bitching about "Democrats loving the FBI" over this this morning, so there's that. Meanwhile: If this keeps on for another week there's a fair chance Kav shows up at his next press availability trashed and blaring Winger.

Rage-inducing? Yes. Surprising in that they're still trying to whip votes? Yes.

A relevant surprise in the Murphy Brown thread.

tbh that's exactly what it was like with Ol' Angry Cry Brett.

Win or lose, this is going to be remembered a long time and they're going to pay. And hell, if we get the Senate why not impeach him?

WA(?) state rep:

Manchin was a yes previously, so this has me slightly quizzical and hopeful.

I'm with Khan. Dude is a drunk. But you could tell that up front - the irrational rage at being called out matches the story from the 90s about going ape at a dinner with friends after a few drinks.
