Ah…Jane Elliott is one great actress. Don't know what Allen Potter was thinking …Im sure Jane misses Marland's writing these days.

How long was Douglas Marland's run on GL? And where did he go to from there? And why was he let go? I thought his work on GL was just as good as his time on ATWT.

At times when I watched ATWT when the Dobsons were writing it, I had a hard time believing these were the same people who wrote what I consider perhaps the best years of GL. I felt that way when I saw their work as HW and creators of Santa Barbara.

Serena out!…..Murray out!….lots of upsets in the tourney…..glad to see Dimitrov win!

Gunnar was a favorite of mine and loved Gunnar vs James story. I am surprised many didn't care for Gunnar. I am more shocked to hear CZ say that Henry(eww..) was a greater love to Barbara than Gunnar. She apparently didnt care for her pairing with Gunnar.

Pretty much …lots of drama….as for the Miami Open it is very outdated tourney ….the lights are the worse….they have been that way for years now. And the court and seating looks pathetic….

Loving the game of Kyle Edmund. His game is so much better than Murray's. Imagine if he had a quality coach. I love that Novak is getting the business from fans in the stands…LOL. And he had a talk with Chris Evert and Billie Jean about his comments. Yeah whatever…of course everything is forgotten because he is the top male in the tour. I am sure had it been another tennis player saying that he would have been toast.

Enzo Fumero? The names these people come up with

I hadn't seen Tommy Paul play before …they(the media) had made a hoopla about him….I was impressed with his game. I thought he should have won his match. I like his game better than Fritz. I know he won the French Open last year so that bodes well for American males in clay in the coming years. Was surprised that Borna lost too…man was he upset and barking at his camp while leaving the court….LOL.

I floved him on GL. I know many didn't. Great to see Scott and Eric get some work.

Venus vs Serena always brings in high ratings as it did this past US Open. Anything Serena brings in ratings…as for Roger he brings them in too but it also depends on who he plays. I will say Novak does not bring in ratings or fan fare….thus his behavior when he is losing and the fans are supporting his opponent in majors. Andy Murray is on the women's side….good for him…I may not like his tennis or antics on the court but glad to see he supports women's tennis. Stakhovsky comes off as an a hole….LOL….he needs to work on his game and worry about that instead of women's tennis. Rajeev Ram is such a boring and awful player…Id rather watch anyone else but him play…..what did that fool say? And what did Stakhovsky say too?? I didnt care for Tennis Channel and the way they brushed aside Novak's comments. I guess being number 1 does help.

http://espn.go.com/tennis/story/_/id/15043194/why-novak-djokovic-comments-women-just-misguided-raymond-moores Found what he said…ugh…seriously he is probably the worse number 1 we have had on the tour…he is so boring to watch and has no class. He wants more money….why? He doesn't bring in the ratings. He is disliked in the tournaments he plays…fans prefer Rafa and Roger over him who do bring in TV ratings. Novak doesn't come close to the popularity that is Serena Williams…..he only wishes and thus the jealousy.

What did he say? Ive never cared for Novak. As for the Miami Tourney…..we could have a Roger vs Del Po 2nd round match

The last half of season 7 is really the low-point for the show - apparently the rise of the family comedies like Cosby made the Shapiro's and Pollocks try to focus on "family values" and the end result is horrible. Season 8 does improve slightly as they actually try to have an over-arching story for the season and doesn't change direction in every other episode, although season 9 is really the true renaissance of the show. The last season felt like Season 1 but by that time it was too late ratings wise. The show truly ended with Krystal was no longer part of the cast. The same goes for Dallas..once VP left the remaining seasons weren't the same. The final nail on Dallas was when Linda Gray left…JR with no Pam or Sue Ellen to spare with...

Do you know who he will be playing?

I can't stand Milos so I am glad he lost badly. Now on to the Miami tourney that starts on Wednesday. This seems to be quite common among European and Middle Eastern men. For awhile, it seemed to be less prevalent among Western Europe (it never left Eastern Europe) but it now seems to have made a comeback. The only one I recall is Dimitrov doing it and he did on the lips….teehee…..I recall another male player doing it as well but I can't recall who it was. I did a double take when I saw ML kiss FL. I am sure Judy Murray was jealous….LOL Definitely not bad on the eyes. Quite a few tennis bloggers seem to know him (and vice versa). Since I don't get Tennis Channel, you'll have to let me know how his segment goes over I sure will. Right now they are showing tennis doubles championship from Indian Wells…the American women won Up next is Pospisil and Sock in the men's double championship match. I can't speak for Dimitrov but I think, most times I've seen it, it appeared to be cultural. Now, if I start to see tongue... Now that would be hot….teehee

What year was Terry Lester on Santa Barbara? I had forgotten he was on it. Was it before or after his stint on ATWT?

@DramatistDreamer Ah so thats the creator of HTF…hmmmm…he is very handsome!

hat

Anyone watching Indian Wells tourney? Anyone see ML kiss FL on the neck after the win? Dimitrov would have been proud….LOL

And you are so bored you'd rather be anywhere else…LOL Yes! Well, I was watching the tennis online during the debate breaks wondering when the debate would be over. I am watching the tennis as well. It is still on tv. Tomorrow should be even better with the men playing as well.

And you are so bored you'd rather be anywhere else…LOL

Bernie reminds me of that old college professor you hate to get because all he does is yell and shout his lectures and you learn nothing from him but somehow pass the tests….LOL
