In 1977 the unhappily married Sharon Duval (Sally Stark) admitted to her dear friend Julie Williams that she was bisexual and was in love with her. I think Susan Seaforth Hayes has mentioned this in more than one interview, and she said that she would have been fine with Julie being bi, but the show decided not to go there. According to welovesoaps, the storyline was quickly wrapped up when problems broke out backstage between head writer Pat Falken Smith and the NBC top brass. https://www.welovesoaps.net/2008/07/gaylesbianbisexual-television.html

Constance Towers filmed an episode in December, and her facebook page thinks it will air around this time. I wonder if we see the ghost of Helena?

FYI, Tessa and Mariah are pretty informal. So the proposal was not going to be some big formal bash with dancers and singers and evening gowns and flowers. This scene is true to them. I think it's more about heart.

For years, Y&R has constantly put the Mariah/Tessa romance on the backburner. Not featured them. Used them as talk-tos. And oh yeah offensively used them to service Abby Newman Chancellor's entitled storyline. I do think Cait Fairbanks has talent. She does what she can with the limited amount of writing the show gives Tessa. I've grown to care about Tessa. The show has refused to write for Teriah. So I think somebody at CBS finally got the message that this wasn't okay. They're the only part of Y&R I like, so I'm thrilled. Now of course Josh Griffith finds ways to ruin everything or just make it dull. But I'll take this bit of hope while I can get it. I mean, I've invested years of interest in this couple, so I can imagine this promo as being a big romantic deal, even though it was kind of written flat.

deleting because I had incorrect information

Team Teriah! Y&R had better do this right. Camryn Grimes recently got engaged in real life. There was a since-deleted BTS vid on Camryn's instagram story of her taking off her real-life clear diamond engagement ring ... for the props person to care for .... so that Camryn could film as Mariah wearing Mariah's green engagement ring.

Thursday 20 January (US-CBS) Wednesday 19 January (Canada-Global) "Tessa pulls out all the stops to impress Mariah." That must be this scene where Tessa proposes to Mariah! ======= UPDATE... Here was Mariah's response to Tessa's proposal: ----------------------------- Scroll down this page for promo for week Jan 24th, the 2nd proposal. And then go to page three of this thread, for promo of week Jan 31st, the engagement party.

Djokovic left Australia on a plane that departed Sunday 16 January 2022 at 10:30pm Melbourne time (daylight savings). This converts to 11:30am London time or 06:30am New York time.

That NYTimes opinion column says that an extraordinary 90 percent of Australians are fully vaccinated. (and it links its source). So yeah Australians are angry that an antivax idiot felt entitled come to Australia to compete. There's other stuff in that opinion column about politicians having unfirm rules. But the 90% stood out to me.

Ariana DeBose !

The decision was unanimous and Djokovic was ordered to pay the legal costs of the government.

I think it's helpful to periodically re-post this, because it's so important. List of international suicide hotlines https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/basics/suicide/suicide-prevention-hotlines-resources-worldwide

I remember watching Chris Evert compete on TV in 1975. TV always showed less women's sports than men's sports back then. Sigh. Grateful that they caught Evert's cancer early. That's two things I don't miss. 1) the old days of limited TV coverage of women's sports 2) the old days of untreatable cancers.

I just looked up the character Brandee's story. from Jason47's episode recap archives. Brandee was a model who was part of the beginnings of the Sami/Austin/Carrie/Lucas story and the inspiration for Sami's bulimia. I can't recap in in a few sentences. Brandee appeared in only 10 episodes in 1993 (first actress) and 2 episodes in 1994 (second actress), but Brandee had a big impact and was discussed even in episodes she didn't appear in. And yet she was treated like a nothing by Salem. It's a bit involved, so I'll put it behind a spoiler tag so that I don't take up too much room in @slick jones's thread.

Kristen in a Sarah mask? Gwen in a Sarah mask? Ava in a Sarah mask? Devil randomly morphing into Sarah's form?

Based on interviews about his web series "After Forever", Spirtas is serious about portraying a gay man over 50 finding love in a real way. The web series was in 2018-2019. "After Forever" was about a man who was happily married to his husband for 15 years, and then his husband gets cancer and passes away ... and then the series is about their friends helping him with the grief, and he is remembering his husband lovingly. and then eventually he ventures out to find love again -- real love. It won a lot of awards. https://www.glaad.org/blog/five-time-emmy-award-winning-‘after-forever’-must-watch-digital-series-about-gay-men I don't know how Carlivati would write this, though.
