Total Eclipse of the Heart

Oh wait I didn't read that correctly…she is playing qualifying matches in challengers?…yikes…..she is too talented to be doing that…she needs a good coach and someone to tell her she needs to shed the pounds.

She is one lucky dog to have landed Travis Schuldt. He was the only reason I watched Passions back in the day when it first premiered. I thought he was so cute and adorable and now he has gotten hunkier. I actually like Zea in the role better than La Lucci daughter….Its nice to see actors call the writing crappy for Passions…cause it was…LOL

The tennis channel brought this up today and were cracking up about it. They showed the exact same pic. As an avid tennis player maybe I should enter one of these challengers….LOL

I had forgotten about him. He was a horrible Hal. Nice seeing Glenn again played by ageless Richard Burgi.

How about Elton John's secret crush? Justin Bieber…..he discussed it on The Talk recently….LOL How old is EJ? 90?…LOL

It's too bad Gregg Marx is no longer doing soaps. He could be a gay fashion designer at B&B or be paired with Jill on Y&R.

Anyone see Friday's show where Anderson Cooper said that his secret crush was Nick Jonas? With Joy replying too bad he doesn't play for your team. And then Cooper said how he got a hug from him but it wasn't long enough….lol….

Can Kasich drop out already??

I remember Claire being hired on GL and thought she is going to make the show must see tv again. Instead GL was boring under her pen and nothing like her work on GH.

Whats this all about?

Are you referring to Rose? I couldn't stand Rose. I was not a fan of hers. Scott Hoylrod was my second favorite Paul behind Andrew Kavovit. Brian Bloom is and was the only Dusty to me. McCouch was just awful as Dusty. I remember at first they tried to make McCouch an older version of Brian's version of Dusty and it didn't work. They quickly changed his personality instead of recasting with a better actor that would fill the role since BB didn't want to return. As for Howarth….he is one awful actor who's ego was sent to the hills with all the praise he got for playing a scum bag of a person. His role as Franco is just laughable and pure garbage.

Yikes…..he looks rough….and a hair piece??

@P.J. Look what I found…I don't remember this! Must have been from 94?? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nRM84dxzdy0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nRM84dxzdy0

Really?? Noah had no edge at all. He was Luke's beyotch…LOL. I thought Reid was perfect for Luke. He didn't take any sh!t from him especially at the beginning of them meeting. I wish their story would've had more time to develop. It is probably the only story I wanted to continue watching after ATWT cancellation.

Honestly, if all Luke was ever going to get to do is jump on beds and get ice cream afterward, they shouldn't have bothered recasting the role. I thought Jake Weary was a better Luke by far anyway. Jake Weary would have been great playing coming out and post coming out. I don't know how much truth if all was him leaving because Luke was going to come out. That KZ didn't want him playing that kind of role. Ugh. I loathed how Craig and Rosanna were sacrificed for Paul and Meg. Add Emily to that too. Never have a seen a pairing (except for Collard Greens/Ryan on AMC) be shoved down our throats even though most of the audience stayed expressing their detest for them. All of these characters were vets and written so horribly. They were totally rewritten to suit the storyline. Thats what really frustrated me about the last years of ATWT plus all the newbies that hogged up the screen. I loved his direction on AMC and also on ATWT when he wasn't EP….I think FMB was EP at the time. I don't remember if he had directed ATWT before he joined full time.

Hansis had no right to throw shade at anyone. I guess I understand "checking out" in stories you dislike (and you can see most actors do it at some point), but so much of early Nuke made Luke look like this jealous, controlling little bitch. Specifically what I remember is that Luke basically told people Noah was gay, instead of y'know, letting the guy accept it in his own time, 'cause Luke had a raging hard on for the guy. UGH---if they had portrayed a hetero couple that way, people would have been outraged. He said something like he was glad ESS was really into the material and how that rejuvenated his acting again since he hadn't had much lately to inspire him…

*waves hand ecstatically in the air* Ooooh---ooooh---Mr Kotter!!! PREACH. The SECOND Scotty B walked back in, I was on Craig's side. Paul and Meg were lying skanks, and short of that child dying, they earned their pain Craig and Ro put them through. And ironically, I was practically begging Carly to have scenes with him---and of course, they barely had any. How long was Scotty back? A year? Maura was probably on maternity leave at some point. It was a breath of fresh of air when Scott Bryce returned. Fans started pulling for Craig instead of what Goutman wanted. Then Goutman blamed Scott for that. He was playing Craig wrong. That was laughable! I am surprised he didn't pair Scott's Craig with Carly considering how badly he kept Carly and Jack apart.

He did some directing afterwards but hasn't been seen since….thank goodness! I didn't mind him as a director as I thought he was decent but he should've never been allowed to be EP. Same with his protege, Ellen Wheeler too. They were both detrimental to ATWT & GL. Sucks seeing as both of them got their starts on P&G soaps. You'd think they'd've known the do's and don'ts of soaps. I thought Chris and Ellen were great directors but they should have never never been promoted to EPs.

Was it his puppy eyes that got to you?…LOL I was a big fan of theirs but the stories they had just made them poison together. I really wish Kevin was denying his feelings for Luke. It would have been interesting had he realized that after Luke met Reid. No. It wasn't his eyes. I think it was just that I loved the pairing despite their sh-tty stories. Had they been in a capable writer's hands and under a company that wasn't so damn conservative, they could've been even larger than what they were. What frustrated me was how much they kept trying to make Noah straight. Either Maddie or Ameera, it was frustrating. I didn't mind Col. Mayer as he was the perfect obstacle for them but the stories were stupid. I would've preferred for Kevin to realize he had feelings for Luke post him getting out of jail. All this reminiscing of ATWT in its last years pisses me off. I hate how they wrote many of the younger characters towards the end. Whether it was Luke, Noah, Maddie, Will, Allison, Casey.... I still hate how they turned Adam into a rapist. That sh-t bothered me to no end. Well we've got Jean Passanante and Chris Goutman to blame for all the mess. When Goutman fired Martha and Scott Bryce there was no doubt Chris ever cared about ATWT or its core audience it had for many years. When you have CG telling SB he doesn't like the way he is playing Craig so he is letting him go?? Then something is truly wrong here. SB originated the role…who else would know whats going through Craig's heart and mind?

Still waiting for Season 4 to be released. WB said it was coming soon and nothing.

Fernando is played by Juan Pablo Di Pace. He was on the Dallas reboot. And yes he is very very caliente….teehee.

I can just hear her now telling you….Look Kiddo….Look Pal…..LOL Wasn't Reid essentially Holden at the beginning when he met Luke? Holden thought Lily was this rich girl full of herself and isn't that how Reid felt about Luke….LOL. It kind of was Lily and Holden all over again except it was Luke and Reid minus Lucinda interfering ….
