The more I see of Kathryn Breech as Karen, the more I'm convinced she wouldn't have been up to the challenges that playing the prostitution storyline posed. She would've done okay with the story - she wasn't the WORST actor - but the audience wouldn't have been as sympathetic toward her as they were toward Judith Light, whose performances even after the storyline was over always emphasized how much Karen was truly haunted by a lifetime of poor decisions and a struggle to be the kind of person whom Larry, Jenny and others needed. Chances are, if Breech had played out the prostitution story, it would've ended with Karen either going to jail, getting killed by a violent john or simply leaving Llanview in disgrace, never to be seen or mentioned again. Meanwhile, that might be the most I've ever seen of Nancy Pinkerton's Dorian...and I enjoyed watching every cold and calculating moment of it, too, lol. Don't get me wrong, Robin Strasser will remain "my Dorian" until the day I shake off this mortal coil, but I think if I had been alive and watching OLTL back then, I would've loved watching Pinkerton just as much. In fact, I think I see how her Dorian really informed Strasser's take, in terms of her cunning; while Claire Malis' Dorian seems to have informed the layers of softness and vulnerability that Strasser would later bring to the role as well. In the end, Strasser's Dorian really was a merging of Pinkerton's and Malis' Dorians, but shot through with her own panache and sense of humor. And boy, was Jennifer Harmon chilling in her scenes with Lee Patterson, as you could see her Cathy starting to come unglued over the loss of their daughter. I've watched enough DARK SHADOWS to know that Sam Hall and Gordon Russell knew how to write those kind of moments when a character is so unbalanced emotionally that they could send shivers down your spine. Conversely, I know Katherine Glass had her fans, but I gotta be honest: I don't know whether I could've taken her Jenny for very long, lol. I realize she's supposed to come across as young and innocent - she certainly doesn't know at that point what she's getting herself into with Brad Vernon! - but...I dunno...there's just something that's a little TOO sweetly earnest about her. (Even her voice began to get on my nerves after awhile). Brynn Thayer, IMO, was better at making Jenny kind-hearted and sympathetic, but not making it seem as if cartoon birds were going to land on her shoulders at any moment. Thanks, @Vee, so much for sharing these videos - and for tagging me. 2025 is already shaping up to be quite the year for soap finds!

As I was told several years ago by a Catholic priest, the Holy Bible is essentially a translation of a translation; and the translation that we commonly choose to follow (the King James Version) was put together by a group of men who deliberately left out many things that did not support their own beliefs. I believe there is something in the Scriptures about neither adding to nor taking away from the word of God, but I'm no expert, so don't quote me on that, lol! And if it's true that over 50% of DEI hires ARE white women, then they have screwed only themselves; and about that, I will Never. Stop. Laughing.

LOL!! Here's a clue:

Apparently, Ron was intent on bringing back all the old favorites on his way out the door. (Get ready, folks, because next month? The Cruise of Deception sets sail once more!)

Gotta keep those bloodlines pure!!

Frank: "Which one of you wants to be our Designated Negro for the JHud appearance?"

You're in my prayers, lol!

@Vee! You've just posted THE WRONG POST.

The truth is, no matter your feelings about DEI initiatives, they're just smart business at the end of the day.

I refuse to believe that person was the real Diana Colville.

If Reva had had a twin, it would've been a nun.

Usually, I detest watching catfights on television, but Doreen and Maya's catfight was different for two reasons. One, Sally Sussman, MVJ and the rest of GENERATIONS' writing staff had been building up to it, so it didn't feel like Doreen and Maya just decided one evening to wipe the floor with each other; and two, it wasn't just a bunch of hair-pulling and heavy panting, like most other catfights tend to be. Doreen and Maya's fight was a real FIGHT. You DO realize Clifton Davis is almost eighty years old. I mean, he looks GREAT for his age, but....

Jonelle and Vivica will show up very soon on BTG. If I keep speaking it into the universe, it will happen. (Alas, Richard Roundtree also joining the show will not. )

That's when you know it's about to get real ghetto up in here, lol! Well, it DOES seem like an appropriate time to remind everyone: (Damn, I wish Jonelle Allen and Vivica A. Fox were part of the BTG cast. I seriously wish the catfight had lasted the entire episode with no other storylines featured. That would have been BOSS.)

That only proves our point: it isn't JUST the Hispanics and Latinos from outside the U.S. whom they want gone. They want to round up and take out anyone who "doesn't look white." We're fast reaching a critical point, ladies and gentlemen. As @marceline said many moons ago, this is going to end in bloodshed.

For sure, Sharon's bout with breast cancer should've provided the impetus for a Nick/Sharon reunion; and if I were HW'ing the show today, I'd have her cancer recur with the same purpose: to put them back together (this time, for good).

Wait, Angela Lansbury was producing MSW (under her "Corymore" banner) that soon? I thought she didn't own or produce the show until the 1992-93 season, after one year with David Moessinger (a.k.a. The Gentleman With the Funny Name, lol) as EP/Showrunner. *shrug* I wish CBS/Corymore had followed through with developing a half-hour series for Lansbury. I think she would've been perfect for a comedy series (provided, it wasn't as awful as "Yes, Dear," lol).

This isn't 1777, when it took months for citizens from one state to find out what had happened in another. Trump and his cronies can erase J6 all they like from the history books - they can even ban all mentions of it on social media! - but it's much, much harder now to hide such events from recorded history.

It was either TOO personal and TOO confidential, or it wasn't personal or confidential enough.

Unless and until you actually see a Black woman literally take off her earrings to fight....

That's what I'm saying! Y&R has tried and failed to pair JM with so many other ladies on-screen that I've literally lost count. It's time to admit that, while Nick and Sharon might not be Victor and Nikki, she's absolutely the best he can do for a mate.

That's no shock. Aside from Eddie Murphy and maybe Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Lorne Michaels likes to pretend the Dick Ebersol-produced seasons never occurred.

It's in there, but as with everything else that's written in the Scriptures, it's open to interpretation. (For one thing, that particular passage is in the Book of Leviticus, which is Old Testament, which we are NOT supposed to live under anymore, since the birth, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ basically renders it null and void.) The thing is, the Scriptures also tell us, in effect, to hate the sin and not the sinner. So, even if you don't condone homosexuality, that doesn't give you license to persecute gay and transgender people simply for BEING gay and transgender, "for you are... Anyways. MAGA: "People come into this country illegally - and take jobs and benefits away from REAL Americans - with the expressed hope of giving birth on American soil, so they cannot be deported!" Khan: "And women of all stripes take back their outfits to the department stores and demand refunds, knowing good and well that they've worn them and put their stank in them. What can you say? As long as there's a system, someone's gonna figure out how to game it. But that doesn't mean you punish the many for the selfishness of the few."

Unless it's because Josh Morrow has personal issues with Sharon Case, or he thinks reuniting Nick and Sharon translates into taking a back seat to their now-grown children's dramas, I don't understand what his deal is. You're fifty years old, bruh. It's time to leave the keg parties to the next generation.
