I just watched. Over two episodes she's still swimming. It's taking her forever. Some ships and rafts pass by and she gets some respite. But she's still out st sea. She's only able to swim that far because she has a strong elf-body and a strong will. But she still hasn't reached shore. They are making the enormous distance evident. And yes it should be the distance of an ocean or half-ocean at least. It's supposed to be a near-impossible task and they're showing it that way.

I saw it happen onscreen. Thomas knew Caroline was under the influence and not herself, and that she could not legally consent. But he intentionally took advantage of the situation and had sex with her anyhow. Legally, if one partner is unable to consent and other partner is aware of that, then it's rape. https://web.archive.org/web/20220729140036/https://apps.rainn.org/policy/policy-crime-definitions.cfm?state=California&group=9 Brad Bell actually made a statement later on that it wasn't rape. But it was.

According to THP ("The Hollywood Reporter"), Amazon was holding/suspending the reviews on the Amazon site to verify if they are reviews by viewers and not from groups of people who have racist agendas. Hollywood Reporter also said that despite the fact that Amazon owns IMDB, the reviews on IMDB were not being suspended. Quoting THP snippets: An Amazon source says reviews are being held 72 hours to help weed out trolls and to ensure each review is legitimate. The source later claimed Prime Video started the policy this summer on all its shows. “Review bombing” is when a group of online users post numerous negative reviews for a product or service due to its perceived cultural or political issues rather than its actual quality. Amazon owns IMDb but hasn’t suspended that site’s audience ratings. End quote. https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/lord-of-the-rings-the-rings-of-power-amazon-review-bombed-1235211190/

GH's seasonal previews are always much longer than the ones from the other soaps, but then GH has so many more characters!

As of the week of August 29th (per the closing credits of Friday Sept 2): Evan Hofer is now on contract as Dex Heller.

Their original promo tweet is gone, but then they tweeted it again here:

NPR has received the usual denial emails from the attorneys representing Haddish and Spears. NPR has also received an email from the plaintiff Jane Doe. https://www.npr.org/2022/09/02/1120755719/tiffany-haddish-aries-spears-accused-child-abuse-lawsuit

I posted the tweeted clip of Thomas and Douglas (from the August 22, 2019 episode) because it shows Thomas yelling at Douglas and it was rather terrifying. Thomas was in a rage and it wasn't due to any medical condition. The relevance is because Thomas wants sole custody of Douglas now. I'd have serious concerns about Thomas being the sole parent. It seems like a lot of Thomas' issues have been whitewashed or the other characters act as if they never happened. Of course all the characters have issues, that goes without saying, this is a soap. But I think Thomas' issues were/are very serious. I don't trust him.

I loved Sandra Nelson. I remember watching Y&R live when she was playing Phyllis.

I'm pretty sure the mistake is with Lynda's column. I don't know if it's Lynda, or her staff, or the website, or what, but the columns have contained name errors and incorrect spoilers from time to time since mid-2020. When Ron Carlivati got married in the Hamptons to his partner of 16 years... Lynda Hirsch's column reported this exact story but mistakenly said it was Frank Valentini who got married. >link . There have been character names confused in the weekly summaries, too, from time to time. Or the column mentions something but in the wrong week. Maybe there was a change in personnel. Lots of people changed careers during the 2020 lockdown -- and then it takes a long time to find someone new, and then even longer to train them. Maybe they get summaries in pdf format or audio or something, and then try to type them up manually and make errors? I dunno. I'm not going to criticize her or her staff ... goodness knows I make lots of mistakes myself. We all do the best we can.

And Jason just posted him!

Thanks so much for posting the preview! Much appreciated! I know you were simply quoting tweeted summaries and not the actual article. I checked the original article and noticed that the final paragraph is a mixture of random characters including Bill, Donna, Eric, Zende, Paris, Carter, etc. It doesn't specify that Carter is part of the Zende/Paris storyline. It says only that "Carter's life turns upside down in a minute." (The original says "in a minute" -- not "for a minute"). I can *speculate* that this means within a single minute as in... very quickly, or "in the blink or an eye", or suddenly ? Maybe this was something Brad wrote at the last minute to cover Rena's exit? Just speculating.

Spoiler for week of September 5: Sparks fly for Joss and Dex. Paraphrased summary from twitter: They don't kiss but they do get up close and personal when they dumpster-dive for Ava's bracelet. She is attracted to him but tries to deny it to herself. Spoiler for week of September 5: Spencer and Trina: Paraphrasing what N.Chavez says in the write-up: What Spencer is thinking: Spencer had stepped back so that Trina could choose Rory if she wanted to. He wanted her to be happy. He has come to realize that he has been removing her agency – that, in effect, he had been making the decision for her, by not telling her how he feels. He comes to see that if he gives her the truth, then she has all the information and she can freely decide who she wants to be with. What happens: Spencer pours his heart out to Trina in a letter and later shows up at her party. He's forced to pivot when Trina hits him with some truths. She tells him she doesn't even want to be friends with him. He drops the letter as he is trying to slink away -- and Trina finds it. Week of Sept 5: Victor meets with Sonny. Dailies via cable guide: Monday September 5 Portia and Curtis throw Trina a party. Sasha gets bad news. Chase calls out Brook Lynn for going too far. TJ unwittingly gives a clue to Jordan. Tuesday September 6 Taggert refuses Sonny's offer. Cameron plans a surprise for Josslyn. Nina faces her past. Portia and Curtis make a request of Stella. Willow has a nightmare. Wednesday September 7 Sam and Dante have much to celebrate. Felicia shares her theory. Alexis sees through Valentin. Victor flirts with Lucy. Anna seeks Robert’s assistance. EDIT - will repost downthread due to Sept 8 news preemption.

Here's some more tidbits of the Fall Preview, which I found in pieces on several different tweets: Robert/Holly: Holly's return will shake up Port Charles and start Robert on a new quest for answers. Laura: Laura returns to Port Charles after having been away for a while. But she has kept herself in the loop. Laura is a hero and she'll be called on to do her heroic best when the time comes. Brook Lynn and Chase: Brook Lynn is willing to go to great lengths to unmask Linc as the loser that she knows him to be, and also to avenge herself for how he manipulated her in the past. Chase may find himself, as a result, taking a fall, but also have a new opportunity to arise as a result. Willow/Michael: Out of love for her child, Willow is taking a gamble and hoping that she can delay her leukemia treatment and save both herself and her child. TJ has become a trusted confidant for Willow, and their relationship will only grow. Meanwhile, regarding Dex being planted in Sonny's organization: This will have unforeseen consequences for Sonny, but also for Michael's whole family. Spinelli: Spinelli's romantic endeavor may prove to have a greater application, and if discovered, there are many conflicting parties who may want to avail themselves of his breakthrough.

@Noel There is already a thread here: https://boards.soapoperanetwork.com/topic/55535-amazon-the-lord-of-the-rings-the-rings-of-power/ @Errol can the two threads be merged? Not sure where the ,merged thread should be located.

Do you have a link for this? I believe you; but it's not what we've been told. We've been told that there are multiple tiers of Peacock but starting Sept 12, DAYS will be only on the paid versions and not on the free version. Perhaps your local station is misinformed? I'd be curious to see exactly what/how your station explains things if there is a link.

Quoting the above tweet from Parker Malloy "Looks like Malone and Licht are accelerating their little fascist project." I didn't know what that was, so I googled. I didn't realize CNN had a change in ownership and in CEO, which I guess everyone knew except me. Found this explainer. Is it accurate? https://www.vox.com/2022/8/26/23322761/cnn-john-malone-david-zaslav-chris-licht-brian-stelter-fox-peter-kafka-column
