non-paywall copy of WaPo article https://archive.is/kvMkl Why is WaPo interviewing "pro-Trump activists"? wtf?

quoting snippets from Ramsey in tvinsider: “. . .how far can we go? How much fun can we have? How much is too much? . . . ” “. . . Abigail and I got along really well, and she’s wonderful, a real pro,” he praises. “We really let ourselves go there and had a ball. Robert Scott Wilson and I got to work together, too, and he’s a great guy and a wonderful actor. He and I really got to step up to the plate together and had so much fun.” That there are similarities between Owen and Peter August isn’t lost on the actor. “I do see some similarities in the fact that when they show up, distressing things seem to happen, and some people seem to be very traumatized,” Ramsey says. “I just find that one of the best gifts any actor can be given is to find a way to create drama in the world of daytime television. I have loved playing both of them very much.”

You asked re: Lisa Rinna's description of RKK: "Is this brave honesty about a toxic work environment or another headline grabbing moment to stir controversy?" It was well-known that RKK was toxic on the DAYS set. When Miriam Parrish and Ali Sweeney were playing best friends Jamie Caldwell and Sami Brady, the actresses were teens. He was in a relationship with Miriam Parrish -- they got engaged when she was 18, but I don't know exactly when they first got together. . . (They married after she turned 20. Parrish has been married to someone else since 2014.)

Everything he is quoted at saying -- is why I would never watch this.

Seth Meyers interviews Conner Storrie, January 13, 2026

It's weird and disconcerting (for me) every time in the present day, when they show the dead hospital staff wall photos. John Ingle just feels wrong to me. Nothing against him personally, he just wasn't Edward to me. But of course I get why GH shows Ingle's portrait. I just wish it was David Lewis.

I remember Jed Allan as Don Craig on Days and as Steve Sanders' father on 90210. I don't remember watching him as Edward? But my viewing of GH during his era was very intermittent, so if I saw him, it didn't leave an impression.

I'm not watching the speech, but I started following ATRupar's clips/narration on bsky, One of the very first things Tr*ump said in his speech was "We ended DEI in America!" and the Republicans stood up and clapped. Okay, I'm out, cannot even bear to follow Rupar's excellent feed.

At the State of the Union speech, just before it started: Representative Al Green from Texas, held up this sign. They had him ejected.

I also posted this on the Paramount/Skydance merger thread. https://variety.com/2026/film/news/david-ellison-donald-trump-state-of-the-union-paramount-1236672123/ Paramount Skydance boss David Ellison will be in attendance at Donald Trump’s State of the Union address on Tuesday night Feb. 24, 2026 The news comes hours after his studio upped its bid for the entirety of Warner Bros. Discovery to $31 per share. Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina posted on X Tuesday afternoon that Ellison will be his guest at Trump’s address.

David Lewis was the only Edward to me. After years of watching him, I just could not get used to John Ingle in the role, at all.

Yup. I was totally wrong!

UK "Reform Party" would create ICE-style agency https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2026/feb/22/reform-uk-ice-style-agency-end-leave-to-remain-zia-yusuf

Someone posted on the writers thread that today Tuesday Feb. 24 was the first episode with Noel Maxam credited as co-EP, and Janet Spellman-Drucker's name removed.

Since credits are public, I guess I can say that per the closing credits Feb. 13, Storms is on contract. Per her ig, she's commuting to her home in Nashville.

re: the discussion of Brenda Dickson and finances: Starting in late September 2025, she has been posting about her financial situation on ig, giving periodic updates, that something had happened with her home, what she claims was an illegal foreclosure, and something about things stolen, and she is/was homeless? with an ongoing legal battle, still ongoing in February 2026. Way too convoluted for me to follow what she was saying. You can read her ig posts https://www.instagram.com/brendadicksonactress/

He had such a meltdown about this. In his reaction statement, he literally said he's entitled to destroy other countries (technically he meant destroy economically; but obviously emotionally he feels he should be allowed to fully destroy anyone or anything or any country). He also insulted the Supreme Court Justices who ruled against him, and their families.

So this is an invitation to the State of The Union speech at the Capitol building on Tuesday night Feb. 24. Tr*mp says he'll send a military plane to bring the hockey team there. He wants them in the room to prop himself up on TV. Should be interesting because traditionally the entire Supreme Court is in attendance at the S.O.T.U. speech. I wouldn't be surprised if he rants about them during his speech.

This wasn't said; but it was somewhat like the old Tr*mp "locker room talk" excuse, with the male hockey players laughing

FBI director Kash Patel used an expensive government plane to go to the Olympics. His office denied he did that. However there are multiple videos of him partying in the men's locker room with the USA men's hockey team after the team won the gold medal. Then we learned that Patel got Tr*mp on the phone in the locker room, to invite the USA men's hockey team to to the State of the Union address Feb. 24. (Tr*mp complained he'd have to invite the USA women's gold-medal-winning team as well) full rollingstone article without paywall https://archive.is/SV9HY https://www.today.com/news/sports/womens-hockey-declines-trump-invitation-state-union-rcna260317

February 22-23, 2026 This blizzard is officially the greatest single snowstorm in the history of Rhode Island, according to the National Weather Service https://forecast.weather.gov/product.php?site=NWS&product=RER&issuedby=PVD UPDATED snowfall stats for Providence, Rhode Island: The Blizzard of 2026 broke several snowfall records at Rhode Island T.F. Green International Airport in Providence: - Storm total snowfall (Feb. 22 and Feb. 23, 2026) of 37.9 inches broke the record for the greatest single snowstorm on record, which was 28.6 inches set during the blizzard of `78, on February 6-7, 1978. - Single-day snowfall (Feb. 23) of 35.5 inches broke the record one-day snowfall, which was 19.0 inches set during the Blizzard of `96, on January 8, 1996. - Finally, the daily snowfall of 35.5 inches broke the record snowfall for February 23, which was just 3.8 inches in 1967. The winds were so high that the City of Providence had to give the snowplow drivers a break for a few hours -- because it was too dangerous to drive the plows in the high wind. They resumed plowing later. https://www.instagram.com/p/DVHIBj_j6H5/

oooh good point, remember Joey had "eyes at" the hospital and he knew about Doug hurting his hand (or something else about Doug) -- whatever it was, Doug thought it was a private moment at the hospital, but Joey knew. Either spies or cameras, it wasn't specified what, but Joey directly told Doug "I have eyes there and everywhere" or something to that effect. So good point that Joey might know (from cameras or spies) about SPS messing with the potassium for Laura.
