I wonder if JT is even happy with his choice of careers. Every time I've seen him - on GH, as well as on Y&R - he always looks as if he'd rather be doing something else.

TP ran afoul of the WGA years ago after firing four writers on "House of Payne" for seeking union representation. Because of that experience, along with his claims that other writers aren't able to capture his "voice," he has vowed never to hire outside writers again for any of his projects. (Personally, I wouldn't be surprised to learn those other writers were shown the door after pushing back against his colorism and homophobia, lol).

For me, it's "Judith Krantz's I'll Take Manhattan," starring none other Valerie Bertinelli. I watched it years later on what later became WeTV, I think, and it was just as good (and trashy) as I remembered it.

Well, Lee Godart would've been a good match visually, but good luck explaining how Tulsa-born Kyle has acquired a European accent all of a sudden, lol. OTOH, what about that guy who played Frank Andropoulos on ATWT?

Anytime TP hypes his upcoming project by saying, "It's gonna blow your mind(s)," I always respond with, "No, Tyler, it's just gonna blow." (And I agree: we should start a separate TP thread, if we haven't already).

She's probably wondering which dollar store she got her wig from.

My fear/hunch: if/when Chase and Willow get horizontal, Chase is gunna be stunned as hell when he learns he actually got ol' Will pregnant, lol.

I think I know what you mean. I used to think Kevin Sorbo was ruggedly handsome. An old-fashioned leading man in every sense of the word. Well, I just didn't realize HOW old-fashioned, lol.

She isn't the only one who wishes KSJ could've been a part of BTG. :(

LOL!!

I'm not exaggerating when I say I LIVED for miniseries in the '80's, lol. As long as I stayed in bed and woke up on time the next morning, I could stay up as late as I wanted. So, I watched a ton of [!@#$%^&*] I probably shouldn't have as a child, from trashy miniseries to Johnny Carson and SNL, and everything in between.

Frankly, I don't blame him, lol. Unfortunately, he ended up playing the losing side of the Erica/Travis/Jack triangle on AMC, once it was clear that the writers had done too much damage to Travis and Erica's relationship for them to reconcile.

I think it does matter that TP chooses to live inside a glass closet, because his treatment of LGBTQ characters has been negligible across the board and a sign of a deep-seated self-hatred.

I'm convinced Michael Laibson would've been able to get GL back on track had he had a better HW working with him.

That's the thing about people who choose to live in the glass closet: they think they have the entire world fooled.

In my mind, Jackson died (in Erica's arms) when he rushed to save her from JR's bullet. (Yes, I know that's not what happened in the PP revival. So what, lol?). Erica was devastated, but that just made her more determined to become a successful actress in H'wood. Unfortunately, the movie bombed at the box office; it was savaged by the critics - "How could Erica Kane suck at playing herself," wrote one critic; "Not since 'Glitter' has a diva committed such a boneheaded career move," wrote another - and instead of winning an Academy Award, Erica wound up with a Razzie. And then it gets really sad.

I wonder if Bill Bell's Alzheimer's diagnosis, which likely occurred at some point during the late '90's, is what put the kibosh on his proposed new soap, as well as on expanding B&B to one hour.

It certainly didn't help to have her headline a dreary, repetitive "mystery" that took place largely away from the show's locale.

They've got to recast Sitwell. Every time I see that Carlo's name, I'm thinking the guy who composed the "Godfather" theme is acting on GH.

LOL!!

In retrospect, CBS probably should've pulled the plug. Instead, TPTB kept hoping GL would get better...until they realized it wouldn't.

It is fun to ponder what has happened to Erica since AMC left ABC. Did she make that movie? Was it a success? (I'd say "no"). What ELSE has Erica done since then (and who else has she married, lol)?

F**k Bill Moyers.

Producers also made changes to "Mork" - dropping two regular characters, adding others - that hurt the show creatively. Between that and the time slot change, "Mork" became a textbook example of what happens when you mess with success.
