On a visit to the U.S. military’s key European military hub in Stuttgart, Hegseth was booed by around two dozen people who live at the base in an apparent demonstration against the policies being implemented by the Trump administration. Washington Post https://archive.is/LxFzU Dozens of American students at a U.S. military installation in Germany walked out of their middle school on Tuesday as part of protests aimed at an official visit by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, underscoring the scope of disillusionment with the Trump administration’s crackdown on diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) initiatives. The students attend Patch Middle School in Stuttgart, Germany, and peacefully walked out of class for nearly an hour, according to three people familiar with the matter and a letter sent to parents by a school administrator. Separately, a small group of adults dressed in civilian clothing — likely parents — gathered outside at Stuttgart and protested within view and earshot of Hegseth’s delegation, booing and chanting “DEI!”, according to video recorded by a reporter traveling with the secretary.

yes DAYS filmed Halloween a few weeks ago, and DAYS is filming November 2025 now, so those *might be* spoilers as to cast and wardrobe. Edit, but you have a point, it *might be* preparation for a big cast photoshoot.

@Errol Do I understand correctly: It's not those channels you've listed that might have issues in themselves. You're talking *only* about youtubetv possibly being blocked from streaming the content from those channels?

Kristen should be old enough to be EJ's mother, but EJ was Sorased by a gigantic amount, as he was born the year after Will Horton. So we can't really base anything on EJ's age. But also, Kristen was younger than John Black when they were in their first storyline together when she was still a social worker and hadn't yet shown signs of sociopathy -- she was maybe 8 or 10 years younger than John. I suppose Rachel Blake at 80-85 and Kristen "nearing 60s" works.

updates: Mitch McConnell voted *YES* to advance Pete Hegseth's nomination as Defense Secretary from the preliminary hearings to the full Senate vote; but then he voted *NO* to the final confirmation vote. Mitch McConnell voted *YES* to advance Tulsi Gabbard's nomination as Director of National Intelligence from the preliminary hearings to the full Senate vote; but then he voted *NO* to the final confirmation vote. Mitch McConnell voted *YES* to advance RFK Jr.'s nomination as Secretary of Health and Human Services from the preliminary hearings to the full Senate vote; but then he voted *NO* to the final confirmation vote.

I feel the same. Russia had no right to invade Ukraine, which is enough in itself. But also, it has always seemed obvious to me that Ukraine was intended by Putin as a stepping stone to take over Europe, piece by piece. Poland joined in with other European countries in support of Ukraine in this statement abovethread here: (link to post)

Yes. The USA has just thrown out foreign policy that has been in place since 1945.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, February 12, 2025. “I’m here today to directly and unambiguously express that stark strategic realities prevent the United States from being the primary guarantor of security in Europe.” “The United States does not believe that NATO membership for Ukraine is a realistic outcome for a negotiated settlement.”

https://www.auswaertiges-amt.de/en/newsroom/news/baerbock-weimar-2700212 Weimar+ Statement by Germany, France, Poland, Italy, Spain, the United Kingdom, the European External Action Service and the European Commission Press release 12 of February 2025 - Paris We are ready to enhance our support for Ukraine. We commit to its independence, sovereignty and territorial integrity in the face of Russia's war of aggression. We share the goal to keep supporting Ukraine until a just, comprehensive and lasting peace is reached. A peace that guarantees the interest of Ukraine and our own. We are looking forward to discussing the way ahead together with our American allies. Our shared objectives should be to put Ukraine in a position of strength. Ukraine and Europe must be part of any negotiations. Ukraine should be provided with strong security guarantees. A just and lasting peace in Ukraine is a necessary condition for a strong transatlantic security. We recall that the security of the European continent is our common responsibility. We are therefore working together to strengthen our collective defense capabilities. --- if anyone needs this in image form:

I have no idea about BTG in this circumstance. But generally, most US soaps begin taping further ahead in November, so that they can take a break of several weeks at Christmas. By February, most US soaps are back to each soap's normal tape-to-airdate gap. For example: Y&R is usually 5-6 weeks ahead (tape-to-airdate) but it can vary 4-8 weeks depending on planning for holiday/vacation breaks.

Wow, that's the lineup I watched as a child, 1969-1970, (on school vacations), daily, especially in the summers: That Girl Bewitched Password AMC (I didn't bother with Let's Make a Deal, Newlywed Game, and Dating Game, although I may have peeked, I thought they were all dumb) GH OLTL (I didn't bother with Love, American Style) But yeah, on school vacations from 1969-1970, my sister and I watched That Girl, Bewitched, AMC, GH, and OLTL. And sometimes Password.

zap2it.com shows BTG listed on independent station CHCH-DT in Hamilton, Ontario. (zap2it shows BTG on CHCH-DT but not on plain CHCH) tvpassport.com doesn't clarify whither CHCH, CHCHDT, or both.

^ Loren Lott on the YT, she wants in!

My speculation is that Kristina and Isiah will be written as friends, not lovers. No idea why the show would make them friends, but why not.

omg this story has potential! It's one of the biggest for ramifications. The child born from this will drive story for decades. That's all all say, so you are unspoiled.
