Todd Rotondi is sharing powerful stories with Alan Locher. I hope everyone gets a chance to watch it.

Okay! Time to make Nick and Christine finally happen.

Queen  Thank you for so many beautiful memories.

What a lovely conversation with Hayley, and the surprise visit from Melanie and Mary Ellen was the cherry on top. Hayley has great energy.

Heather Tom has played Katie longer than she played Victoria and won more Emmys for Katie, yet we still consider Victoria her signature role. What's crazy is that she is now around the same age that Marla Adams was at the end of Dina's original run and Susan Flannery was when B&B began.

J. Eddie Peck looks great!

And it's always a treat to see Heather Tom in anything related to Y&R. She is timeless.

The romantic spark seems to have faded between Nick and Sharon. I like them as friends and co-parents, and the closing scenes on NYE were nice.

They seemed to be an "end game" couple for eons, but it's almost as though too much time has passed for it to make sense anymore with them barely in one another's orbits.

I forget what was said during the reunion with MB and WF, but he did write this on Facebook this week (https://www.facebook.com/TheLocherRoom/posts/438352641180297):

"I caught up with Lisa a few weeks ago and she was considering sitting down for an interview."

A beautiful tribute by her son, Buddy

Tom Wiggin shared something lovely on Facebook. I don't know how to embed it because it's a comment on a post.

"I am shocked and so saddened by the news of Lisa Brown’s passing. It would take more space than we have here for me to adequately express my admiration and gratitude for her as a friend (before ATWT) and a colleague on ATWT. Thanks in large part to her cooperation during my screen test for Kirk, I got the role. And thanks in large part to her iconic status as Iva I rode her coattails to be a part of a “super couple”, which was my first time in that space though ATWT was my third soap. More importantly, however, were the laughs and the shared comittment to making each scene the very best it could be.That is what I’ll focus on during this sad time."

Heartbreaking. So many beautiful memories of Lisa.

There were plenty of standout Iva scenes over the years, but one that stands out to me most is after a party at the Mona Lisa when she had driven Holden back to the stables. I distinctly remember Holden wearing some sort of Miami Vice outfit. She wanted to learn more about her brother, what he wanted for the future, and it was just so genuine. A brother-sister moment that was so real.

Strength to her family and everyone who loves her.

I'm so sorry to hear this news. His voice is so distinctive. Thank you for all the wonderful memories Mr. Douglas.

Michigan. He's about twenty minutes away from my area. I remember he appeared on the news touting he wanted his family to live the "Midwest Life" or some BS. 

The only reason he and his brother got gigs on the show was because of Tyler Christopher.  In fact, I think he was a personal trainer, not an actor. He was used as an extra, and he eventually got some lines.

Doesn't relate much to the topic but odd how he might think he has some of clout.

Not to put pressure on anyone, but is there a Coles Notes version of the production designers?

Thank you for sharing. She looks great! I'm a White Sox fan, so I think of her every time I hear Lucas' name. Here's to a long post-season run for Chicago.

ATWT: I loved Hunt Block in the role of Craig. Sure, he was hammy, but I really bought his overprotected routine with Lucy, and I thought his scenes after losing Bryant were heartbreaking. He seemed to have chemistry with all of his leading ladies, and if Mary Beth Evans wasn't reoccurring, I think they could've hit another round of Craig and Sierra out of the park.

Melanie Smith with Mary Ellen Stuart was right up there as well.

Wha?! I must've missed that one. I only saw Melanie with the larger group. Now I'm excited  That'll be a treat to watch.

Sad but true!

My favourite one is with Katherine, Don and Scott, and Scott essentially took over the role as moderator. That personal connection was just lovely.

It looks like Alan already erased the comments I made about Goutman on YouTube.

Your comments are still up on Facebook, and they are getting a bunch of traction. I only realize they are yours because of the same avatar on here and FB. I don't want to get into a back and forth on FB with Goutman defenders, so thanks for saying what you did. You definitely got a thumbs up from me.

Early in the pandemic, the reunions Mr. Locher hosted were a breath of fresh air, and they were greatly appreciated. I didn't watch them all live, but I think I caught up on all the ones connected to ATWT. This one...no thanks. I get it -- it's his platform, his career, and he can do what he wants. However, he definitely won't be getting any clicks from me when it comes to Goutman.

Very few poignant scenes on the show this year but Mariah humming the lullaby was a lump in throat moment.

I saw worried it was Daniel Goddard.

If you watch New Amsterdam, there's a familiar face tonight.

Whoa 

It was special watching her grow up in the role -- a talented young lady with a bright future. I'll miss her.
