We called that show The Knish

Disney+ is also asking for a price increase.

I live in Canada but was born in The United States, in Norwell, Massachusetts. I have dual citizenship. I agree with you and I see your vision among my American relatives in New England. I have other relatives in Pennsylvania who don't see it as clearly. Some of them object to the different skin-colors within the marriages of our family. One or two have decided to sever ties due to marriages with "Jig$#@%s"

Tammy Blanchard was well-cast as a young Judy Garland.

Perhaps not a masterpiece but thinking back to when Nancy F replaced Susan Keith as Cecile, I was upset. It always took me a while to warm up to recasts, if I ever did. But Nancy Frangione didn't take long to become my then favorite. A week? Two? A month at most. I believe it was a scene between Cecile and Jamie played by the great Bekins where she lets him know how she used him. She had me. Cold as ice, resting b@!*& face. Yet she could grab my heart in an emotional scene. She was so badly wasted on her returns to the show.

Alex needed more restraint. The actress was capable enough. I love it when the viewer sees how much fun the actors are having and we can feel they deserve to cut loose. I see that with Phil Carey as well as Erika S when everyone was so critical of her later Niki portrayals, but I felt they had earned their fun.

Senior moment on my part lol

Was that before or after their server crashed from all the cancellations? (or was deliberately shut down)

As said in your other post, the way now is pressure on adverstisets

Time to take it up with Sinclair's advertisers

Good lord, Zaslow is freaking brilliant.

I'm trying to think of a well-known or current actress I can compare to Deering to give the connection. She was a different Holly. A blonde bimbo in a way. Very pretty. Much more vulnerable and immature. Almost a temporary character until Garrett took the role and gave it depth. Now I will look at that video you so generously provided. Take care.

But I would have looked at his Playgirl centrefold - to point and laugh.

I hated that brat Nicholas. And Susan Richardson got on my last nerve.

Around the same time there was a convincing physical fight, with what appeared to be real punching, between Roger and The Great Hulswit's Ed. The show might not have been running on all cylinders yet but people were taking notice. It felt like The Dowdy Soap but that was part of the appeal. It felt more real

I would have been in my teens then but I remember my grandmother referring to Elvira Roussel as Miss Piggy. Looking back I believe there might have been some viewer backlash at the departure of Lenore Kasdorf. GL was kind of a dowdy soap back then except for Rita. I also remember people saying Maureen Garrett wasn't pretty enough to play Holly after Lynn Deering. That changed when she was given a chance to act but I still remember the stark physical differences between Holly 1 and Holly2. I give wide-eyed Deering credit for at least trying to act like a rape victim but she wasn't much.

I wasn't a daily viewer, and there were long periods when I I didn't watch, but it seemed we went from Evie, Rita's unattractive and obnoxious little sister, as a forced character with the incredibly handsome Ben. When Douglas Marland arrived the show got the new Jack Ubront theme. Evie barely had a line. I hated the character anyway but it was sad to see her last few days with minimal or no lines.

How did we get here? It's scary.

Apparently people are speaking out by cancelling their Disney and Hulu subscriptions. Not sure if that helps, seems misplaced.

This thread has been a true treasure for an old soap viewer like me.
