2026 Pulitzer Prizes finalists https://www.pulitzer.org/news/2026-pulitzer-prize-announcement winners https://www.pulitzer.org/prize-winners-by-year/2026 Glad a lot of the journalism awards were for exposing Trump government corruption. I'm really glad they gave Julie K. Brown the "special citation" award Scroll all the way to the bottom of the list (past books/drama/music section) to see her award. "Julie K. Brown A special citation is awarded to Miami Herald reporter Julie K. Brown for her groundbreaking reporting in 2017 and 2018 that exposed Jeffrey Epstein’s systematic abuse of young women, the justice system that protected him, and, over time, his powerful network of associates and enablers. Her Perversion of Justice series, published nearly a decade ago, revealed how prosecutors shielded Epstein from federal sex trafficking charges when he was first accused of abusing young women. She went on to document and give voice to the scores of victims who had been groomed and abused by him and others in his circle. Her work, and the release of the government’s Epstein files, continue to reverberate around the world." Her Miami Herald stories: https://www.miamiherald.com/profile/218644665/ Her Epstein files reports on her site: https://jkbjournalist.substack.com/ You can follow her on bluesky here https://bsky.app/profile/jkbjournalist.bsky.social (she says her twitter was recently hacked)

Remember when Nick Fallon started to rape Gabi outside in the woods, and she reached out for a rock and bashed him in the head with the rock in self-defense, not intending to kill him at that time, just to make him stop. Kate and Sami arrived and unscientifically determined that Nick was "dead". Sami and Kate convinced Gabi that they should dispose of the body. Gabi was acting in self-defense, so I don't remember why they didn't call the police.. The three women dragged Nick's body through the woods to the river and threw him in the river. They had some sort of elaborate scheme in which they had Nick's phone and used it to text the Hortons to say he was out of town. But Nick wasn't actually dead, just unconscious, and he was secretly rescued from the river by some guy Percy Ruggles. Ruggles was out birdwatching with his camera, and had witnessed the ladies throwing Nick in the river, and took photos. The photos were used to blackmail the ladies at some point. Meanwhile, Nick stayed in hiding for a long while and then made a dramatic return reveal. From this storyline came the phrase "river-dead". So now Kristen bashes Sophia in the head with a rock and has her thrown into the river. Is Sophia "river-dead" or really most sincerely dead?

I completely disagree. Using a child to snare a lover is a bad outdated trope for women that I haven't found entertaining in decades. I thought it was wonderful that they went with a "young woman choosing not to be a mother at this time" - it truly was her choice! And then she stood by her choice, and dropped the child at the firehouse, which was the most responsible thing she could have done under the circumstances. I thought it was a great storyline, and affirms that woman can choose motherhood, abortion, or releasing the child to adoption, and when nobody backed her, she did what she could. Rachel Boyd did interviews in which she said she had spent a lot of time researching what it would be like to give birth alone, and how to get into character for those birth scenes. She did okay with that, but was flat with everything else. I have no idea what she submitted for her audition tape but I wonder if they gave her an birthing script to practice for her audition? Otherwise I don't know why they cast her. And of course there's the 10-month tape-to-air gap that makes adjustments difficult. But contracts are for the benefit of the show. not the actor. A one-year-contract is actually four 13-week contracts, and a show can release you at the end of any 13-week period. So why did they keep her? Agree with both of you on that. Yeah it seems they suddenly decided to switch who she was. At first she was the soap teen trying to disrupt her love interest's current relationship, by messing with Holly. Seems like they decided to make her "Jan Spears", and that didn't work -- I think it didn't work due to both writing and acting. The initial concept may have been good in theory but the writing was all over the place. And yeah I completely agree that making Sophia a full-on psycho didn't work at all! That was just awful. It especially upset me that the writers decided to give Sophia her no redeeming qualities. I was cheering her on when she fought to give up her child and was strong in her decision -- she was still a misguided teen, although of legal age, but she did the best she could. A good story. It feels (to me) that the show abruptly decided to have a psycho character. They should have sent Sophia out of town, and then created a completely new character as the psychotic person. Jan Spears was wild and amoral but Heather Lindell had layers in her characterization of Jan Spears.

I have experienced this for the past month or longer. What I figured out was that the forum software is automatically programmed to italicize anything between two asterisks, and simultaneously removing the asterisk punctuation marks. Even if the two asterisks are in separate sentences or paragraphs, it automatically assumes you are trying to italicize things. @Errol is there any way to make it stop doing that? As members posting episode counts usually use an asterisk at the beginning of any line that has the same rank as the actor in the above-line. The only way I get around this currently, is do this (must be done in this order) first post the word/phrases I want to emphasize-but-not-italicize. Then I put three spaces before and after the word. Then I tack on "space, asterisk" AFTER the word/phrase I want to emphasize-but-not-italicize. Then (and only then) I put "asterisk,space" BEFORE the word/phrase I want to emphasize-but-not-italicize. Gotta do the AFTER, and then the BEFORE. So the result is me emphasizing-but-not-italicizing the phrase "testing123" as follows: * testing123 * HOWEVER, that STILL doesn't work if I have another asterisk elsewhere (anywhere) within my same post. Because then it italicizes the whole segment of my post between asterisks.

I did see some of the episodes with Erica, Skye and Janet taking on Dr. Kinder. So I don't know how I missed the Erica's speech episode. When she gave this speech, did viewers know that Kinder was a villain, or was that revealed later? Agree about Cady's hair.
