i was in diapers when guiding light began on television and my mother started watching. back then kids in grammer school came home for lunch. my sister and i remember well having lunch with the bauer brothers.

was just coming to say the same thing. not seeing any chemistry between them. makes me wonder why they recast.

begs the question: why — why — must naomi meet clients, whose conversations with her are PRIVILEGED!, at the country club or coffee shop instead of her office — like a real lawyer? same for vernon and martin. i know the # of sets is a $$ issue. but, at least these two could meet at the depree manse, where discussing what’s supposed to be a secret could not be overheard?

nothing nearly about it.

i’d be okay if they got married and left the show:) but, instead they’ll keep pushing ashley/andre — that’s what the ff button’s for.

dani could use an edible.

i recently watched a few episodes of b&b, and am in full agreement about the endless conversations. btg has so many storylines going on at once, that this choppy pacing is inevitable— but still frustrating. re the news-break: be glad it was john dickinson; dan rather would have gobbled up the rest of the show. as annoying as these break-ins are, no quarrels about what looks to be a full-blown war in the middle east. and be glad that we have alternatives. back in the day, the episode would have been lost.

and kat talking with nicole. with so many characters and storylines, they skip over a lot of emotional beats we should be seeing.

really! her father has a stroke and all she can think about is getting laid?! but, while chelsea’s behavior isn’t really all that surprising, madison’s defies belief. the writers went out of their way to reduce her age, since what 30-year old attending neurologist would be gushing like a teenager, and going live on social media with a patient’s daughter? on another note: i’ve never watched either y&r or b&b, but for the past three days, b&b has been on (long story:) but three episodes with nothing but characters endlessly rehashing the danger sociopath luna presents to steffy was excruciating! nothing happened, no character development, nothing happening among the characters — just crazy luna, over and over and over. have no idea if this is standard for b&b. but, if it is, btg not holding b&b viewers makes sense.

has canada been a day ahead from the beginning — or did they get a new episode on memorial day, when cbs aired a rerun here?

from her nytime obit: ”Ms. Mahaffey had worked steadily over the past five decades, starting out on the NBC daytime soap opera, “The Doctors,” for which she received a Daytime Emmy nomination for best supporting actress in 1980.”

redundant, tiresome, and annoying. actually muted their scenes. re the characters interacting: this was setting the scene for kat to find them. seems like plot-driven character unless making ted look like a naive idiot is the idea.

talented as the actor playing leslie is, these protracted exchanges with ted are starting to sounding one note and getting tiresome. so much so, that i’ve started muting their scenes. i suspect more a writing problem than an acting issue.

this has been clear from the very beginning. and, boring as they are, it’s not just derek and ashley. fitting in so many characters and storylines means they are skipping over the emotional beats — chelsea’s coming out was far too fast, and why did they not show her telling her grandparents — so there’s A LOT of exposition. given how long val jean and guza have written for soaps, this speeded up narrative and enormous cast have the suits’ fingerprints all over it. whether it ultimately drives down ratings remains to be seen.

pales by comparison with smitty and martin. however bad what martin did, after so much discussion, it’s going to feel anti climatic

“I really liked the Anita/Tracy scenes today. Both powerful actresses. They made me *want* to know what the secret is.“ so do i! just hope the reveal doesn’t drag on as long as martin’s — which, however bad, promises to be anti-climatic!

hard to believe that laura’s been in the hospital for what? — three months — and no one — not shanice, not mona — has filled her in about what happened at the anniversary party! does she not have any idea what leslie’s done.?

and, yet i do. i actually thought he was quite good in their scenes — he was really listening to and absorbing what she was saying before he responded. some actors are so anxious to say their line, they don’t listen.

came across this quote that provides some context: “It’s hard to escape the cultural reach of the Catholic Church when you live in the Western world. It is, for better or worse, one of the load-bearing walls of our civilization. Its influence wafts from the church into the streets of civic life, the courts, the schools, the arts.”

finally! no question this was worthy of live coverage. but, how hard would it have been for norah, et all, to have just shut the fuc* up at 2pm and gone back to regular programming — like abc did?

cbs has always been the worst. when dan rather was the anchor, he was always the first one in and the last one out!

no argument here! and as she was singing, i kept wondering how many verses ‘amazing grace’ had. looked it up: 13 — 13! — and i think she must have sung every one.
