GH: February 2025 Discussion Thread
Agree. They are not new articles. Posted only because some here may not have seen them. My apologies to those who already did. I reposted only because it seemed that *sometimes* more of the blame is directed at Amanda. (In my personal opinion some of this is on Josh&Lauren.) And yes I acknowledge that this has already been discussed/rehashed numerous times on the GH threads in past year or two.

GH: February 2025 Discussion Thread
This is GH going with the wishes of both Amanda and Josh. It seems that Amanda Setton observes a modesty practice from her religious beliefs. Which is why she dresses as she does on GH. Josh Swickard doesn't have that, so we see him shirtless. However Josh Swickard and his wife actress Lauren York Swickard (aka Lorynn York) have a pact that he won't do intimacy scenes, from their version of Christian beliefs. (Lauren played an employee at the psych facility where Sasha was held in 2023). At about 17 minutes in, Lauren and Josh start talking about the decision they made https://lifestyle.org/episode/chasing-faith-and-family-with-josh-and-lauren-swickard/

Rerun from June 2023 Rome episodes that aired in different timeslot, after the BeyondTheGates preview. (New episodes of B&B also airing same day in regular B&B timeslot). I know everyone here jokingly calls it the gloryhole, and I get that. For anyone who didn't know, that's actually a special place in a church in Rome. From KKL's 2023 script cover The picture in the center is "The Keyhole of the Knights of Malta" from a church ....

Great article, thanks for posting. quoting snippets: Tunie, a legend in her own right (Law & Order: SVU, As the World Turns), steps into the role of Anita Dupree, the formidable matriarch of the family. “Anita Dupree is my mother,” Tunie said, revealing her primary source of inspiration. “She is a fierce mama bear, righteous, talented, et cetera, et cetera.” She also pulled from two of the most glamorous women in entertainment history. “I had the privilege of working with Lena Horne when I first came to New York, and Lena remained a force in my life,” Tunie shared. “I also had the privilege of knowing Ms. Diahann Carroll. And, of course, Dominique Deveraux is one of the iconic, classic forces in soap opera.” Clifton Davis (Amen, Madam Secretary) plays Vernon Dupree, the proud patriarch of the family, and he drew inspiration from civil rights icon John Lewis. “He was personally involved; he took the beating on the Edmund Pettus Bridge, and then he became a congressman,” Davis said. “That relates a lot to Vernon Dupree.” However, Davis also found personal meaning in the role. “I thought, here I’ll get a chance to be the me I wasn’t. I got a chance to live out the love of my family in a better way than I did in my real life,” he admitted. “This character really loves these two girls and that incredible wife of his. He will commit and do anything to protect them, defend them, and support them. I drew actually from my father — and I try to make the difference that a lot of African American men don’t always have the opportunity to–means and money stand in the way of some of our fathers being the better fathers. It’s sad, but it’s true. I wanted to embody what Michele had written on the page, and I think I’m doing it.”- BTG: History, Behind the Scenes Articles & Photos

Wow. this show was really bad. Especially Aaron Jackson (in the orange shirt) who seemed to think he's cool, but is not. It was as if he were unintentionally doing a bad Jim Carrey impression. Thanks for posting, though! I took one acting class in the 1970s and we had to do something similar: Take a random bit of writing and then say it as if in a scene with various emotions: say it as if you're speaking to a dying loved one, say it as if you're joyful about a specific situation, etc. But the idea was to do the exercise sincerely to do *acting* and really embody the emotions of what was being said, despite the meaningless script. It was fun and interesting to watch my classmates do it. It seems like Clifton Davis took that approach-- doing it sincerely. He was a believable character when reading aloud the "sound, desktop&dock settings" (for an apple computer). Even the words "on" and "off" had emotion, LOL. Loved how he said "Play feedback, when volume is changed". And then they had him redo the scene as if he were a Russian spy. I mean, if he can put that much emotion into "device settings", then Vernon Dupree will be mesmerizing. (Well we already knew he'd be great as Vernon. Just sayin' this shows he can act, no matter what the script). Karla Mosley seemed to approach this as if it were supposed to be a soap spoof, so she was intentionally overdramatic when doing the reading of the "mattress tag", plus her scene partner was very annoying. I liked her second scene partner better, when they did the "dehydration warning".- BTG: History, Behind the Scenes Articles & Photos

Tamara Tunie on Late Show with Stephen Colbert Posting to highlight her wardrobe. My apologies for my blurry screengrabs. She looks better on the show. Jacket by https://christiebrownonline.com (a Ghanaian based luxury fashion brand) https://christiebrownonline.com/pages/about-christie-brown It's similar to this one: https://www.instagram.com/p/DFVvY1vucfi/ and you can see the detail on the back of Ms. Tunie's is similar to the one on the side here: https://christiebrownonline.com/products/morgan?variant=50123794153747 I see that Ms. Tunie is following that designer on ig https://www.instagram.com/christiebrowngh/- BTG: History, Behind the Scenes Articles & Photos
All the stories Ms. Tunie told on Colbert, are wonderful! Her parents were morticians and her family lived in the upstairs of the funeral home -- the family lived upstairs, the funeral home was on the ground level, and the mortuary was in the basement -- she said it was like the show "Six Feet Under, only Black". She began helping in the family business as a teen, doing hair and makeup. She was born into this life so it was all normal for her. She said that when she got the role as the medical examiner on SVU, "When I walked into the morgue on Law&Order:SVU, nobody could tell me nothing!" What's great is that she has been told by Black women in real life that they, or their daughters or sisters, became inspired to study forensic science because of her role on SVU. It's all on the youtube (two posts up from this) - B&B: February 2025 Discussion Thread
