Oh, okay! I wasn't sure, lol!

Frankly, I don't, just because I never saw her appealing to anyone outside of MAGA anyway. Carrie was more country than pop/rock, so I'm sure she'll be fine with that crowd. I've pretty much decided to spend every cold/flu season from here on out "masking up" and maintaining social distances from everyone, as if we're still living under a pandemic.

Please tell me that's your typo and not the show's, lol?

As cynical and grasping as Tracy can be, she's also someone who understands what motivates others better than anyone, even if she has gained such knowledge from living a lifetime of disappointment and heartache. (I've always imagined Edward telling her, "You're not beautiful, Tracy, and you're too intelligent; but you have a lot of money, which is all that truly matters to a man.") Ironically, Justin Deas once filled in for Gerald Anthony on OLTL. There's even a clip of him on YT as Marco - he must've subbed for him after leaving ATWT - but it's probably not available anymore.

It IS sad, but I'm afraid reactions like his is something we'll all have to get used to. The majority of voters betrayed many, many people when they allowed him back into the WH. Anger like Fanone's isn't going away anytime soon.

ICAM!! Partnerships like Marco and Tracy's are what I live for as a soaps fan. And now comes the part where, once again, I urge GH to cast Justin Deas, a.k.a. SON's Public Enemy #1, as Tracy's new love interest.

Cliff and Nina weren't a couple or a supercouple. They were just Agnes Nixon and Wisner Washam messing with our heads for a decade.

I wonder why Susan Sullivan declined to appear in the anniversary episodes. Was she still on FALCON CREST at that point?

Oh, did Soupy Sales flub his lines, too, lol?

Thank you, @MissPalmer, for alerting us to this find; and thank you, @DRW50, for tagging me! I'm thrilled that I finally get to see a complete episode of THE SECRET STORM in color...but I can't say that I was enthralled with what I saw. Maybe that's because I know so little about the show's storylines, but to me, most of the episode felt like filler (which is an odd thing to say about a half-hour soap, but...). Amy's reluctance to work on Kevin's campaign gets brushed aside after 30 seconds or so, so what do we get instead? Approximately 20 minutes of folks getting excited over, what, some Revolutionary War general's papers? (Was this a July 4th episode?). Then, just as the episode appears to be going somewhere - with the possibility that Joanna MIGHT be a descendant of General Eldridge's, and the conflict that erupts immediately between her and Doug - the episode's over! Also, the teaser (with the guy who played Lt. Larry Wyatt for years on GL) was perhaps the most pointless I've ever witnessed; and I'm sorry, but if you're going to include a dog in your show, at least get one that's trained, lol. Believe it or not, @All My Shadows, the same theory crossed my mind as I was watching the episode. "Please, tell us this Joanna is the same Joanna mentioned in that diary," I said. "Anything, just so there's a point to all this!"

Yes, she did, lol! I honestly cannot recall a time when I saw JE phoning in her performance. I never saw her do that on GH, or GL, or AMC, or DAYS, or THE CITY. I never saw her do that on any primetime show she's appeared on, or in any movie. I didn't even see her do that on "Electra Woman and Dyna Girl" or A NEW DAY IN EDEN - and lemme tell ya, it takes BALLS to show up for trash like those two shows and appear not the least bit embarrassed, lol.

Yes, let's, lol! I mean, just the THOUGHT of spinning off B&S as an actual show....

It never fails to crack my [!@#$%^&*] up how gay-hating MAGA has glommed onto all things Village People, lol.

God give me strength, lol!

Frankly, I'm surprised the show lasted as long as it did. It never was clear what the show was supposed to be about, or who it was supposed to be for. ("A talk show for busy moms"? Really, Sara?)

Jorn Winther was what GENERATIONS needed: an EP with enough experience and objectivity to tighten up the production and focus on what was working and not on what wasn't. I agree. At 300 pages, Sussman's bible for the show contains stories that would've taken YEARS to tell, had GENERATIONS been envisioned as a half-hour show from the beginning.

He probably wanted to end DAYS as we know it and morph the entire show into B&S (but still under the name of DAYS).

Wasn't it revealed years ago (by somebody) that Karen Harris almost took the HW'ing gig at GL before hearing from others how awful the working conditions were? Or am I getting that story confused with something else?

He's still stuck in the '80's, because that's when he still was almost universally loved. Back then, most people knew only what the press and shows like "Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous" told them: that he was this self-made corporate titan, who built his real-estate empire one dollar at a time, using just his two hands and keen business mind. No one (outside of NYC) knew the truth: that he, in fact, was a "trust fund baby," who knew only how to bankrupt businesses, not build them; and whose fortunes, even at that point, were largely smoke and mirrors. And even when we DID learn the truth, a lot of us didn't care, because he still lived better than you and I. If we weren't a culture that worships the rich as blindly as we do, then he would never be where he is tonight. But, just as you have to recondition a dog that's been allowed to behave inappropriately with no corrections, so, too, we have to re-train our minds to stop looking at people like Donald Trump as gods and start looking at them as what they actually are: men with no conscience, who'd think nothing of profiting off our suffering. The difference between Melania marrying into the Trump family and Jill Foster marrying into the Abbott family is that Jill was far more clever about it than Melania was. At least Jill was smart enough to PRETEND she loved John, even if she didn't actually love him, or at least not completely. Melania, on the other hand, has never made any bones about how she feels about her husband. Like Wendy Williams once said, all she wanted was a green card and a baby.

I said the same thing when the fires first broke out in California. That was a warning shot from Mother Nature herself, giving us a taste of what's in store for us these next four years. If Americans feel giddy today, it's because they believe they have "owned the Libs" once and for all. People who live in the so-called heartland resent anyone who tells them that they're stupid. That's always been the issue for liberals and progressives: "How do we get the working class and the people who live in 'flyover country' to see things our way without saying that they're stupid?" Because, the truth is, people who live in this part of the country are extremely stupid people with extremely stupid (and extremely dangerous) points of view.

I just hope that when Drew DOES get killed, he goes out the same way as Susan, lol.

Fortunately, as of today, I am no longer on X (or any social media platforms, save for Bluesky). ICAM!!

That's why it's difficult for me to come up with a list of actors/characters who could return (even in ghostly form) for Monica's funeral. And in some cases, like with Chris Robinson (ex-Rick), it's probably best they don't return anyway, since this show has managed to character-assassinate so many people over the years. So, I'll just settle for Denise Alexander and Billy Warlock* and leave it at that. *Because, like hell Sean Kanan's ever coming back, lol.

Ironically, for all its' low-budget-ness, "919 Fifth Avenue" was better written and better cast than "Central Park West"/"CPW," which I thought was awful from day one (minus Tom Verica, lol).

It's a new year, and if I have a New Year's Resolution, it's to give certain people second chances. So, if Jamey Giddens ends up joining the BTG writing staff, then fine. I hope he'll surprise me (in a good way, lol). (Ron Carlivati, OTOH, has pretty much lost me for good. You can't do what he did to Abe Carver and expect me to be at peace with it.)
