I started reading Dan's site in 1990s, back when it was called "amcpages.com". He started out with just AMC information. He changed the site name to "soap opera central" when including other soaps, then soapcentral. For years I kept the site in my browser bookmarks as amcpages.com -- and whenever I clicked on that bookmark, it would automatically send me to soapcentral.com. I started to cry at the end of this selling-the-site announcement youtube, because he concluded the video with the AMC theme music. It felt full circle.

Interview with someone who was one of Walz' high school social studies students. Walz taught his students to think and discuss issues, including culture and genocide.

Nate recast? I have no idea, but that was my first thought. I mean, would Y&R actually have two dynamic Black characters?

It's accessible to anyone inside USA. I don't know if it can be accessed outside USA via VPN.

The"Uncommited" interviewed. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/article/2024/aug/08/harris-walz-uncommited-voters-israel-gaza I know there is a tendency on this board to label them as "dead-end left", but they aren't all like that. Sure some are, but not all. The more reasonable of them recognize there is no hope for *anyone* if Tr*mp is elected. I think their comments in this interview are worth reading. I'm glad Harris met with them to listen, even if she didn't agree with everything they wanted.

Yes what LibertyCity said is true. In this video, Jen Lilley tells Kristyn Burtt of soaps.com what happened with her return and the recast - interview from August 2023. (Uploaded to YT much later on) https://youtube.com/watch?v=qgxS7j7eeWc

This.

Yes I agree. Part of this is on the show for allowing the actors to choose wardrobe. But also on the actors for making choices about them instead of about their characters.

Then Ron left DAYS a few weeks ago. No idea what O'Connor's status is now.

Some background on the free school meals program in Minnesota that Walz signed into law last year. See post on "Black Lives Matter" thread here: (Link)

Amazing school cafeteria manager Philando Castile of Minnesota did much to see that students in need were fed and also helped students in other ways. He was killed by police in 2016 during a traffic stop and the cop was acquitted. In Philandro's honor, his mom got the movement going for the free meals at schools that Governor Tim Walz signed into law in 2023. https://sahanjournal.com/education/free-school-meals-bill-minnesota-valerie-philando-castile/ no
