  1. How often has that happened? A bland to bad recast that essential acts as a placeholder until someone better/someone the studio wants more comes along?

     

    I'm pretty sure that happened with Charity Rahmer as Belle and recently with Old Man Burgess as Billy (even though he had the role for like two years) on Y&R.

  2. Angell Conwell (Leslie, Y&R) guest-starred on my friend Amanda's webseries:

     

    Those brown pants make it look like she isn't wearing anything. 

     

    The fake audience reactions are ANNOYING AS HELL but I like the main actress (I've seen her before as a talking head on one of the news networks). I feel like I've seen this exact same plot on probably 3 different web series...but it was very cute.

     

    Ha, I see what you mean about the pants.

    The studio audience reactions, that was just a joke for that scene, they don't do that all the time, thankfully.  Yeah, Amanda and her facial expressions got some attention last year for a CNN segment about catcalling.  She was a VJ/talking head for MTV/VH1, and when she was a kid in Orlando, she was on that Nickelodeon show, My Brother and Me (and the cinema classic, Cop and a Half starring Mr. Burt Reynolds).

     

     

     

    YES! That's her! Oh man, she was killing me!

    Annnnd now I'm looking up episodes of My Brother and Me, thanks a lot!

  4. Robin Christopher is a breathy shitty actress who apparently think she's the lead in some 40s noir film all the time??? I really do not like her at all and Skye is just a monster and not a fun one so all the calls to "Bring her back!" never made any sense to me. As well as the people saying she should have been Victoria on Y&R.

     

    You know what she needs? Some light therapy, looking like she has jaundice all the time.

  5. Other than Anika going insane for no good goddamned reason, this season felt much like the first. There's been little to no progression. It's a round robin of getting control of Empire and losing control of Empire ad nauseam.

     

    And I swear if someone referred to it as "The Empire" one more time...

     

    ALSO Cookie's outfits this season have been HIDEOUS. MY god what have they done to that poor beautiful woman. 

  6. Ricky Paull Goldin guests in an episode of Marvel's Jessica Jones, which is now on Netflix and is great.

     

    The lead - Krysten Ritter as Jessica Jones - actually did a recurring bit 11 years ago on OLTL, as "Kay" of "Kay & Kyle," twin assassins in black leather and sunglasses who finished each other's sentences and came to Llanview trying to kill David Tom's Paul Cramer. It was part of an absolutely horrendous subplot from the second Michael Malone run, where Marcie Walsh, Michael and John McBain, Natalie, Paul, wooden supermodel Kathy Tong and others were prowling around Roxy's Angel Square Hotel in this strange cat and mouse game of crime and murder, while Nathaniel Marston and Kathy Brier got wet and naked on the roof. It was one of the weirdest two-three week periods I've ever seen on any soap, like something out of a stage play written on acid, and I've never forgotten it. Anyway, yeah, watch Jessica Jones.

     

    Oh my god yes Kathy Tong, stock photo supermodel. Ah, I remember you always saying her full name for some reason, I mean I get it but I don't know why I get it.

  7. Glen is definitely dead, we saw his insides being pulled...outside. And why would that many walkers ignore one body for another?

     

    Glen was one of the few characters I actively liked so RIP Glen, you were awesome while it lasted I guess. How they'll explain Maggie not immediately committing suicide I don't know. Maybe she's pregnant. That would personally give me more incentive to meet my maker but everyone's different.

  8. It's interesting that when the ratings tally live and the next day that ratings are down to the point the value of AMC took a hit this week.   But when they do same day plus 3 more days on DVR ratings are up to 20 million biting at the heels of the top network shows.   I wonder if their demo pure audience being so young is just doing what the networks and cable companies dread:  continually finding other ways to watch.

    I think that plus the show is getting older, meaning there are more episodes which gives new viewers less incentive to binge watch.

     

    The last two episodes have been very action packed but the show is still badly written. The dialogue has absolutely no substance, the characters are inert, the plot (is there one?) is going nowhere. Carol is one of the top ten TV characters ever but even she is not enough to make this show good

  9. And n the vein of more god awful movies here's a trailer for Campus Cod starring Jesse McCartney(ex JR Chandler, AMC) and Martin Scorcese

    This terrible looking movie has Martin Scorsese in it. How the !@#$%^&*]...

    I just checked the youtube comments and apparently his daughter directed it. That's love.

  10. Contracts don't exist in this universe.

     

    As if Trai Byers could get any finer, he was a GL fan:

     

    Glamour: Your first TV role came courtesy of All My Children, and I love that your character's name was Mookie. Ironic, certainly. Did you watch soap operas growing up?

     

    Trai: I did. Guiding Light! And they pissed me off bad! They killed off my favorite character! His name was Hart [Jessup]. He was a great, down-to-earth, solid human being. There was this woman he was in love with and had a baby with, but his ex was livid and wanted to put an end to that happiness, so she tries to pull a gun and shoot the girl, but instead Hart jumps in the way, gets shot—in the heart!—and dies! I stopped watching altogether after that!

  11. I don't know if this has been mentioned Renee Elise Goldsberry is in the new musical Hamilton and they just released the soundtrack and let me tell you she is phenomenal. The soundtrack as a whole is a modern day masterpiece.

    I have had that album on non-stop repeat since it dropped. Obviously I'm an REG fangirl but beyond that the Broadway fan in me is just astounded by the whole thing. It's just so great to see some of these theatre actors who have been steadily just working their craft (I'm looking at you Leslie Odom Jr.) finally get a chance to shine and I want some one to PET scan Lin-Manuel Miranda so I can see exactly how his brain works.

    Yes! I've had 'Satisfied' on repeat multiple times over the past week. The whole show is just brilliant, I'm contemplating a weekend trip to NY JUST for Hamilton, which is kind of stupid considering how much the tickets are but whatever.

     

    Julianne Moore and John Stamos did a soap opera parody on The Late Late Show:
