Oh gosh. I think it's normal and healthy to be distressed! They want us to cower in fear, and I don't want to give into that, but I certainly wouldn't judge anyone for being terrified. I mean, if you're not terrified, you're not paying attention. So yeah, it's *sane* to be afraid, and yet I don't want them to destroy me with fear. Both can be true at the same time. It's all insane. This cartoon is from the time of the *prior* Trump administration. Today, Trump insanely accused Zelenskyy of instigating WW3 if Zelenskyy didn't comply with Putin.

They want to kill us with fear (as well as literally killing us with poverty and abuse). I refuse to let them trample me with fear. I mean I have to remind myself every five minutes to not succumb to fear. It's really hard. But I won't let them take my sanity!

We got confirmation that Tomas is an attorney at Bill's law firm.

Reuters and AP have been banned from the White House. Someone from TASS (Russian media) was at the White House today. Really.

Agree with all points, especially the last one.

"Next week on Y&R" preview video for week of March 3rd oops wrong thread. @Errol @Toups can this and the above post be moved from the end of the Y&R Feb. spoiler thread onto a new March Y&R spoiler thread, please.

That preview for next week was on the CBS broadcast? Interesting. The Canadian live feed on chch.com didn't show that. It simply showed the same closing credits as Mon, Tues, Wed of this week.

Thanks! They didn't show that on the Canadian live feed at chch.com

Loved Anita looking at those who stood for the bride's entry. They all sat down as soon as she gave her unspoken command to Vernon.

I think the character name of the nurse training Ashley is "Shanice". The nosiness of Amy Vining, but more charming. And intelligent.

Thank you for posting, I hadn't seen the news today, I saw your post and I checked. Zelenskyy in the Oval Office with Trump and Vance. Trump and Vance directly attacking and insulting Zelenskyy with lie after lie after lie. Trump defending Putin. Vance defending Trump. Zelenskyy factchecking Trump. Vance calling Zelenskyy disrespectful because Zelenskyy didn't bow down with gratitude. Trump babbling about Hunter Biden's laptop. All of this on live TV.

From earlier this week: Mona, played by Karan Kendrick Karan Kendrick just asked on her instagram: What y’all wearing to the wedding? 😫

I don't think there has to be a male with the surname Dupree to pass down the name through the next generations. A woman can be born with the surname Dupree and pass it down to her offspring, regardless of whether she marries anyone of a different surname or not.

February 26, 2025 JoAnn Fabrics closing all locations, with immediate "going out of business" sales. JoAnn Fabrics was bought by a private equity firm and then shut down. If you're a crafter, here's info on how to buy what's left ... https://www.goodhousekeeping.com/life/money/a63939592/when-are-joann-fabrics-stores-closing-timeline/

I see what you're saying but that's the out-of-character Sheila Carter from recent years. OG Sheila was much more like BTG Leslie.

BTG Wardrobe https://wornontv.net/beyond-the-gates/ and https://www.shopyourtv.com/beyond-the-gates/

I used to have ParamountPlus with showtime. I could watch shows live on my local channel (as stated above). So you could watch BTG at the same time that your local channel airs it. I now have plain ParamountPlus *without* showtime. BTG is uploaded there and also to cbs.com about an hour after it airs in Pacific Time. That's SAME DAY (not next day). On Monday Feb. 24, it was up at 2pm Pacific, 5pm Eastern. Today Thurs Feb. 27, it was up at 3pm Pacific, 6pm Eastern. If you think it's likely up but can't see it on the menu, then try this: Watch the last five minutes of yesterday's episode, and it will segue into the start of today's episode. If it's on the site but not on the menu yet, that will work. If it's not on the site yet, then you have to wait.

Yes it was Lacey Chabert who played young Bianca. Michelle Trachtenberg never played Bianca.

There's more pictures of Karan Kendrick on her website. http://www.karankendrick.com/

Episode 4 is up. Paramountplus https://www.paramountplus.com/shows/video/ec0E69R_wrHZKlVAp05S48lxcHmZkt5K/ CBS.com https://www.cbs.com/shows/video/ec0E69R_wrHZKlVAp05S48lxcHmZkt5K/

I didn't know whether to post this in "Politics", "Discuss the Soaps", or "CBS/Paramount Primetime", because it fits all three categories. Although this is politically-motivated, this directly affects Paramount, and the fallout could possibly affect CBS programming if the Paramount merger falls through. The issue is that Paramount is trying to merge with Skydance, but Trump was upset about how the CBS News show "60 Minutes" aired its interview of Kamala Harris, and Trump sued CBS about that. Trump is trying to hold the merger hostage, unless CBS pays him ten billion dollars. Trump claimed that CBS unfairly edited the Kamala Harris interview before broadcasting it. Since that time, CBS released the transcrips and raw UNEDITED video of the Kamala Harris interview publicly, so I don't know why this lawsuit persists. https://www.seattletimes.com/entertainment/cbs-agrees-to-hand-over-60-minutes-harris-interview-transcripts-to-fcc/ Updated details in this L.A. Times article https://www.latimes.com/entertainment-arts/business/story/2025-02-05/fcc-releases-unedited-cbs-60-minutes-interview-the-subject-of-fcc-complaint Archived nonpaywall copy of LA Times article: https://archive.is/x3xlu Original 60 minutes interview (20 minutes) as it aired in October 2024: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TJys7OVH24E Full Harris unedited Harris/CBS video (57 minutes) is up on FCC youtube as of Feb. 5: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vEu8hSGDKJA Transcript of unedited video: https://www.fcc.gov/sites/default/files/Transcript-Transcribed-Unedited-Interview-Footage-6-of-14.pdf Version 2 of unedited Harris/CBS video on FCC youtube as of Feb. 7: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iO_pai9kwZc "60 Minutes" put the unedited version on its youtube, as well. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JrGyL57833U CBS news has its own article here from Feb. 5 https://www.cbsnews.com/news/60-minutes-publishes-transcripts-video-requested-by-fcc/ in that article, CBS links to three full-length transcripts of their interviews with Kamala Harris. They are: The full transcript of the interview with the vice president at her residence; The full transcript of the "walk and talk" with the vice president; and The full transcript of the interview with former Congresswoman Liz Cheney and Vice President Harris. videos corresponding to these interviews: Interview with the vice president at her residence "Walk and talk" with the vice president Interview with Cheney and Harris In addition, at that link, CBS provides all transcripts provided to the FCC, many of which are duplicates that reflect audio from additional camera angles. Despite it all being released, and it being clear that nothing significant was edited out, Trump is still suing CBS and the Paramount/Skydance merger is still being threatened. Thus the Paramount executives caving to Trump's anti-DEI agenda on Feb. 26.

Paramount rollback of DEI Initiatives to align with Trump (per George Cheeks and co-CEOs) https://variety.com/2025/biz/news/paramount-eliminating-dei-trump-1236321790/ Posting this in "Discuss the Soaps" because it's a statement from George Cheeks and his co-CEOs at Paramount. George Cheeks has been promoting Beyond the Gates... to the point where a portrait of Cheeks' real-life father is on the wall of a BTG set. @Toups @Errol (move or rename this thread to wherever/however, if needed.) Feb. 26, 2025 Paramount Global — as it seeks FCC approval for its deal with Skydance Media and amid a pending lawsuit filed by President Trump against CBS News — told employees that it will change some of its diversity, equity and inclusion programs to comply with the Trump administration’s directives. Quoting a few excerpts from the article In a memo to employees Wednesday, Paramount co-CEOs George Cheeks, Chris McCarthy and Brian Robbins, cited the Trump administration’s mandates as requiring “changes in the way the company approaches inclusion moving forward. As a result, some of our policies must change to comply with these new mandates.” Per the Paramount co-CEOs’ memo, obtained by Variety, the company will no “longer set or use aspirational numerical goals related to the race, ethnicity, sex or gender of hires.” In addition, it has ended its policy of collecting race, ethnicity, sex or gender data for U.S. job applicants on its forms and careers page, except in markets where that’s legally required, per the memo. The media company also has eliminated the “Diversity, Equity and Inclusion” qualitative metric in its short-term incentive plan that directly connected 5% of funding for the program to Paramount’s “success in progress on companywide DEI initiatives, including aspirational representation goals,” the execs wrote. Now, Paramount will base 10% of STIP funding on its “Workforce Culture and Development” qualitative metric, “which is focused on building a high-performing and inclusive culture, including through developing leadership and engaging our workforce. ” The Paramount chiefs sent the memo Wednesday, when the company also reported fourth quarter 2024 earnings results. Paramount said it continues to expect the $8 billion merger with Skydance to close in the first half of 2025 — a deal that is contingent on approval from the FCC. Prior to the 2024 U.S. election, Trump sued CBS News over a “60 Minutes” interview with former VP Kamala Harris that aired Oct. 7, alleging the news program deceptively edited the video. Earlier this month he amended the lawsuit to demand damages of $20 billion. Brendan Carr, the Trump-appointed FCC chairman, has said Trump’s lawsuit against CBS News will likely will be a factor during the FCC’s review of the Skydance-Paramount merger.
