Someone should tell MM to spend less time toking and more time actually working on his scenes.

You'll never convince me that that wasn't Rita Coolidge moonlighting as Harmony on GH. I'm just saying.

The long, sad history of Jordan Ashford and the 34 women who have portrayed her prove one thing: Black folks can be hair models, too.

"Jawing with Jen just makes you look like an [!@#$%^&*]." And Peter Doocy is just fine with that, apparently.

Honestly...? I don't believe they have a real agenda for Diane beyond her resurrection. They're just hoping it'll be enough to energize the rest of the characters and the audience, too. But, that's just my opinion. Same. Either way, I don't feel like SW/Diane is back to stay.

It was a joke. A bad joke, but a joke nevertheless.

I miss when characters on DAYS would sing. Those performances added so much to the show, in more ways than one. Anyways.

I mean, it probably was. For whatever reason, Bill Bell wasn't ready to take the next step with the story, so he likely employed an extended flashback as a means of stalling. I think all the soap scribes, including Irna Phillips, were guilty of using that method.

It must have happened during the time when AW was 90 minutes per day. They were DESPERATE to fill time.

If Clyde ends up back in prison, then he, TR and Orpheus can form some sort of prison acapella group.

Eileen and Robert Mason Pollock were SHAMELESS in their use of flashbacks to pad out episodes of THE DOCTORS.

Chances are, it's all gonna end with Diane leaving town again, happy to see Jack and Kyle back together, and even hugging Phyllis on her way out.

We'd show the whole cast, but SON doesn't have enough bandwidth.

Agree. I'm with @Wendy. If they can't find an actor who will commit long-term to playing Abigail, then just rest the character for the time being. This isn't an Abby (Y&R) situation, where I don't think any amount of recasts or changes in purpose will help what I believe to be a dead-end character. I think there's still life in Abigail Deveraux; they just need to wait until they find the right girl. We can only hope.

Oh, good. I was worried that the GH cast was becoming too small.

That's exactly what I think as well, @Wendy. Cawthorn's (or anyone's) sexuality is none of our business. Yet, because the GOP has become more homophobic than ever, I feel like...well, I don't know what I feel like, lol. Maybe someone should simply point out the hypocrisy, if nothing else, of a card-carrying member of the Republican party apparently engaging in the sort of behavior they are working feverishly to criminalize and demonize. The thought crossed my mind as well, @DRW50. When you step back and look at the timing of these events, including the fact that 1) his marriage didn't last very long and 2) these revelations are coming on the heels of Cawthorn's latest comments about GOP'ers basically behaving like Studio 54 regulars BTS, you have to wonder whether Chad Hitler has been hiding something this whole time. If Cawthorn comes out of the closet, I'll respond to him the way I responded when Aaron Schock came out: good for you, but don't think for one minute that will let you off the hook for how you tried to destroy this country.

So...is he gay (or bisexual)?

I'm not clear about that either. Was she jealous of Julie's beauty and youth? Did she harbor a secret desire to be with Doug? Did Julie remind her of her recently deceased mother? Elizabeth Harrower seemed to be trying so hard to convince viewers that Laura was unstable that she got forgot that her motivations, however irrational they were, still needed to make some sense. Perhaps, Laura had developed a sudden, irrational hatred of all the Hortons, borne out of her rape and being forced to conceal Michael's true paternity for years, and wrecking Julie's life was just one part of her overall agenda. Still, I think the audience deserved a better explanation than "Well, she's nuts!". Of course, I'm still not sure what was wrong with Laura, exactly, or why it took so long for her illness to manifest itself. I mean, was she schizophrenic, or bipolar, or...what? (By the way, I really hope Ron Carlivati isn't reading this thread. You KNOW reading about Jennifer once being abandoned on a bus by her mentally ill mother is gonna lead him to create a split personality for Miss Chick-Fil-A.)

Unless...the "sudden heart attack" was the result of a drug that Ashland administered to Rey (and perhaps had planned to administer to Victoria) minutes after the crash. Do another autopsy, I say. Check for the needle mark. If only Josh Griffith had somehow tied all three stories together. Like, for example, Diane comes back into town RIGHT at the moment of the crash (and witnesses Ashland kill Rey and arrange it to look as if Victoria was responsible).

She'll be back.

The weirdest part of NCIS's success, I think, is that it has managed to remain a ratings draw despite so many changes to its' cast. In fact, I think the only current cast members who have been with the show from the beginning are Sean Murray and David McCallum - and even Murray was only recurring in S1.

Agree.

Exactly.

Basically, GL fell apart as Nancy Curlee left and JFP exerted more control. The balance that Curlee and her team had created or sought to create was diminished, and what we got in its' wake was a GL that was skewed toward JFP's favorites.
