Kevin McCarthy removed from being Speaker of the House, by a vote in the House. First time in history. He's awful but other icky people now vying for the role of Speaker. MEANWHILE in the Senate: Laphonza Butler has been sworn in as the first black lesbian Senator. What a day! ^ One ceremony on the Senate floor. The second one with her wife Neneki Lee and and mother present

From Ron's ig stories last night

(not sure if this was already posted) This are key points that the WGA negotiators won: https://www.wgacontract2023.org/WGAContract/files/WGA-Negotiations-Tentative-Agreement.pdf

SAG-AFTRA votes to authorize a *new* strike -- against the video game industry -- specifically against 10 of the major video game companies https://deadline.com/2023/09/sag-aftra-approve-strike-video-game-industry-1235555756/

Edit. Whoops I posted on wrong thread. moving to correct thread.

I agree that mobster Sonny Corinthos should not be a main character on GH, he is should not be considered a regular member of the community. I stopped watching GH for many years because of that character. I feel that neither Sheila Carter nor Sonny Corinthos should be regular characters but obviously the soap writers feel differently.

This is the *full* statement from the WGA https://www.wgacontract2023.org/announcements/negotiations-update-tentative-agreement

I respectfully completely disagree. She is evil. No therapy will help. She's not someone with a mental health problem. She's evil and cares for nothing/nobody but her own objectives. Anyone she says she loves is just a tool to her. I have watched Sheila for over 30 years since Y&R. She cannot be helped. In my opinion there is nothing worse than a villain being integrated into the community while continuing to be an evil villain. It's ruined Days.

The title of the promo! If only Sheila would be gone for good! Please make Sheila be gone for good, and bring back the Avants instead.

I added to the post at the top of this page - in addition to the twitter vid, now the facebook vid and youtube versions of the "next week" preview. Because .... high definition.

and.... Wednesday, September 27: Mamie interrogates Nate.

The speculation that Mamie is (putting behind spoiler tag because quite a surprise if true) ... That spec was going around, and the above "next week on Y&R" video preview seems to agree with it. That would be another reason for Mamie to be interacting with Jill! Maybe she'd be involved with that from a distance and drop in occasionally, like Jill does? I don't trust the current regime at Y&R, but it would be an interesting twist.

Edit to add, here's a copy of the same on facebook video: https://www.facebook.com/TheYoungandtheRestless/videos/555808563341361 and on youtube

The cast updated in recent weeks to say they began shooting 9 1/2 to 10 episodes per week now. Judi Evans said it on the Linda Dano podcast, and another actor said it at a fan event. Jason has updated his chart to show that change, just in the recent weeks. The fired creepy producer [name redacted] was trying to be showrunner and was "organizing scripts" after the writers strike began, whatever that means, but it sounds like he tried supervising the writing department or .... ? ? So he did that in May, June, and July, and was fired August 4th. Nobody really knows who has been scab-headwriting while Ron's on strike but I think FiredGuy tried to control things for a while. Icky.
