Mark Lawson (Brody, OLTL) stands with many other soap stars behind Geoffrey Owens:

Some of the public will care.

Lindsey Graham is going all the way:

Political showmanship or not, it is the right thing for him and all of them to do. I'm very proud. Between this and the NYT leaks, Collins and others have run out of room to maneuver on Kavanaugh.

I'm just amazed he is being ousted at all. I thought he and CBS were determined to try and ride it out.

The NYT has many, many issues but the NYT didn't write this editorial. However self-serving, the author won't remain hidden for long. What matters most IMO is we're in an unprecedented situation where the president's senior staff are now openly invoking the 25th Amendment and removing him "one way or another" in one of the biggest press in the nation. And if you think it does nothing you're wrong, because Trump has been in even more freefall numbers-wise since McCain. Eventually, saying any public statement "just helps him" is ultimately self-defeating and untrue. It's I Am Spartacus time:

Boom. There goes Susan Collins' fig leaf:

The thing is, things are changing. He's at 36% today.

Why do you dislike a woman you've never met so much? We're talking about fictional storylines on a fictional TV show.

I don't think he was being malicious, either. But Brown clearly finds him responsible or culpable for something.

Oh, it's worth a read. They invoke the 25th Amendment and say Trump's administration will end "one way or another." It's self-serving rationalization, but it's still honestly shocking and history in the making.

If this is your criteria for posting and speaking to literally anyone on this forum I wish you the best of luck at your table for one. This is not going to work out for you.

SoapNet had message boards? Okay. Reva is unforgettable as is her heyday. Her bad OTT stories sprinkled through her last ten years? Not so much. Are you really that new to this forum? No one and nothing is sacred. We don't pretend stuff we've thought was shít is spun gold.

Oh God! I was just thinking it was those awful pantsuits that were ruinous to Zimmer. The lighting and hair coupled with that?? I think the later years, oddly enough, handled Reva better in that respect. They knew she was an aging good time girl and let her just be that, flaws and all - possibly because the budget and production had fallen apart but still. It was the Rauch era trying to pretend she was the queen of desire that embarrassed me. And for the record, I grew up watching Dark Shadows on Sci-Fi - I know that show backwards and forwards. Doesn't mean it wasn't laughable on GL.

This is the most anyone's talked about Reva and the time traveling paintings in over a decade, including possibly when the story aired, judging by GL's viewing figures at the time.

Sarah also took a shot at Maurice Benard:

Paul Rauch had a long, storied and at times celebrated career. We criticize the lowlights of his resume because they were very bad. It's not about you. We did it long before you came along. As for Reva, I fail to see how her '80s storylines translated into an obvious impulse to push her into ludicrous sci-fi storylines that were off-brand for the show - to say nothing of the relentless need to push her as an irresistible love object, which I never bought and thought was off-putting for the more earthy character. I love Kim Zimmer now, but I did not grow up with Reva the sex goddess of the 1980s and I didn't feel it remotely worked in the '90s or early 2000s. Reva as varnished royalty? No.

Self-serving editorial? Yes. Shocking and unprecedented regardless? Oh yes.
