Watching that clip, and thinking about how DH and SR's off-screen relationship has deteriorated to this point, it just makes me wish it were Gloria Loring and Patty Weaver sharing camera time with SSH rather than those other two.

ICAM. In many ways, social media is no better than the graffiti you'd find on any public restroom wall. But it's also the best weapon we've had in terms of documenting the level of hatred that keeps coming from the right.

No way would that happen in this current political climate. Frank would be worried about the Facebook Karens thinking Tommy Jr was "too threatening" and he'd want to emasculate him by putting him in a dress or some [!@#$%^&*].

I'm particularly curious to know why Deidre decided to acknowledge Suzanne's presence when Maggie said, "Well, as a former restaurateur myself...." Was Deidre supposed to speak first? Did Suzanne ad-lib that part of her line? Did she lean too far into Deidre's eyeline? What is it, Terry, what's wrong? (Sorry, all that talk of Laurelton in the GH Classic thread had me slipping into Bobbie Spencer for a moment).

IKR, lol? But, at least the Asian Quarter saga happened in Port Charles. Laurelton, OTOH, was about [!@#$%^&*] that happened off-screen years ago, in a town that I don't think GH fans had ever seen or heard before; and it was centered largely around characters they either didn't know (Jennifer Talbot, Earl Moody, the brothers O'Connor) or didn't actually care about (Terry, despite having been on the show for awhile and being connected to Bobbie and the brownstone). About the only GOOD thing to come out of that story (which I still believe was another one of JER's cockamamie ideas, until I learn otherwise) was Lucy. Otherwise, between that and GL struggling, it's no surprise that me and Mama Khan began watching SaBa more.

I don't know. An AI-generated revival of AMC couldn't be any worse than what Chuck Pratt forced on us.

That's what I had suspected. Not only was the Laurelton saga an absolute chore to watch, it also caused GH's ratings to falter after years of being on top. TPTB really should've killed the story first chance they got.

And IA with all y'all, lol. I think SR attempts to put aside her differences with DH in scenes together. Take it from me, though: it's difficult to do your job well when you're mere feet away from a colleague who is openly hostile towards you. The thing is, DH has been extremely valuable to DAYS' success over the years, so she knows she can be as unprofessional as she wants. Because, what are TPTB gonna do? Fire her? They tried that once - for budgetary reasons - and it didn't take. They're not gonna do it again. Like I said, I feel bad for SSH and any other castmate who has to share scenes with them. It places enormous burdens on them, and that just isn't fair.

TBF, I don't think Bea Arthur and Betty White had had a falling-out. They just had very different personalities. (It also helped that they had a mutual friend in Rue McClanahan). OTOH, it's clear that there's bad blood between Deidre and Suzanne and that Deidre is the one who's allowing that to affect her interactions with her castmate on screen. All I can say is, poor SSH for having to carry those scenes at a time when she's still grieving her husband's passing.

They could've been staged like the Supremes on "The Ed Sullivan Show" and it still would've been hella awkward.

IA! It's remarkable how Constance McCashin reinvented herself as a therapist...but I have to admit...I miss seeing her on my TV (in something other than reruns, lol).

Shazzbot. And it was such a good needle drop, too, lol. (BTW, it was the Eurythmics' "Would I Lie to You?")

The only joy I get from S13 of KNOTS LANDING is watching Philip Brown at his sexiest (even though he slits Linda Fairgate's throat and goes on the run for reasons I still don't know, lol).

They'd have to do a split screen, and there's no time or money for that, lol. SSH: "Raise your hand if you've been featured on the cover of Time magazine. Not so fast, you two!"

Couldn't they hire the mop that played the back of Laura's head on GH to fill in for Dee or Suzanne? Or does the mop want too much money?

Is this (the Laurelton saga) around the time GH's ratings started slipping?

Either Constance McCashin has a damn good plastic surgeon, or she was blessed with fantastic genes. I wouldn't say she's ageless, but she has aged so gracefully. Kim Lankford, meanwhile, looks like she belongs on one of Tyler Sheridan's godawful dramas.

That's my baby daddy, Philip Brown (ex-Buck).

People of color are glad to have any representation or visibility, regardless of quality. You aren't the only one who's fascinated by that, lol.

The Trump administration is doing everything possible to rewrite our country's history. In the age of social media, however, that is simply impossible.

You didn't like the last two seasons? I dunno, I thought CB was a class act from beginning to end. Very well done, with a level of talent on both sides of the camera you don't see much nowadays on network TV. It's definitely better than CBS' "Tour of Duty," which ran around the same time, I think, but constantly had to reboot/revamp itself each season, and wasn't as honest about the horrors of the Vietnam War.

It probably didn't help to be tied to that awful Sabrina.

She does, doesn't she? And you're right: Aaron Spelling probably should've casted her as Kate's replacement on "Charlie's Angels" rather than Shelley Hack.

He was just upset that he couldn't have Jessie's girl.

Nah, we talk enough about Chandler Massey already. (I'm joking, @Soapsuds . Calm down, lol).
