Yep, it's Nancy. It must've been while she was still on "Matlock." BTW, that's James Kiberd (ex-Mike, LOVING; ex-Trevor, AMC) in the Advil ad; and Janet Zarish (ex-Natalie, ATWT; ex-Lee, OLTL) in the Vaseline Intensive Care skin ad.

Exactly. Which is why I don't agree with merging Kate Roberts' history with that of Dr. Kate Winograd's. Doing so makes Kate's history far too contradictory and convoluted -- and that's not even including the ridiculous backstory of her being Stefano's prostitute. My theory: Sheri Anderson intended Kate Roberts to be Austin and Billie's long-lost mother, but Lucas would have been either Curtis' son as well (she was pregnant when Curtis beat her and dumped her on the side of the road), or the product of some affair with another, more sympathetic guy. It was JER, therefore, who muddied the waters by making that other guy Bill Horton and tying their affair into Laura's mental breakdown. At the VERY least, he could've written that Bill and Kate had hooked up AFTER Laura had been committed to the sanitarium, and Bill had left Salem. Bill could've even told Laura, in her catatonic state, that he'd fallen in love with another woman; that they were going to have a baby; and that, because of Curtis, the two had planned to leave and start a new life far away from her abusive husband (thus prompting Curtis to nearly kill her and separate her from their children). That way, you achieve the same results (namely, the revelation of Bill and Kate's affair/Lucas' conception, and the effects it had on their families) without contradicting what viewers had witnessed back in '79. But, nah, JER just took the hacky way out.

I've always believed that if we, the viewers, didn't see something happen on-screen, then it didn't happen. You have to be fair with the audience. Otherwise, the trust between them and you, the writer, is gone; and once it goes, it's hard, if not impossible, to win it back.

If that's true, then it only proves several people's point: that the far-left progressives, including AOC and the rest of the Squad, are pure poison to the Democratic Party.

There are times when his refusal to concede the election plays like something Bill Bell and Kay Alden would have written on Y&R.

How much of a narcissist do you have to be to think promising lap dances and hot tub parties will persuade potential donors to part with their cash? I know 90-year-old church ladies who are hotter than Kimberly Guilfoyle.

I realize she isn't everyone's favorite, but I just love to see Patty Weaver again. I hope she's doing okay.

I know one thing: if I were to lie about something as major as voter or election fraud, I ain't gonna do it for no $130,000.

Thanks, @sivad40 and @Skin!

Here's what I don't understand (and if I have my facts wrong, please, by all means, correct me): even if Trump's legal team succeeds in getting votes tossed out, those wouldn't be enough to change the outcome of the election. Ergo, what is the point in all this, except to burn everything down and keep Trump's name in the papers on his way out?

Oh, [!@#$%^&*].

Laura's exit story reads so awful and bizarre to me. In retrospect, they would have been better off just killing her off in some accident or something.

Exactly. And God designated HIM to be the savior of children everywhere? I realize God, in the Bible, sometimes used bad dudes to carry out His will, but COME. ON.

All of a sudden, some Republicans are behaving like Whitney Houston, demanding Trump hand over his receipts. Incredible.

In the meantime, thousands more are falling victim to this virus...and thousands more are dying. Even as he's on his way out, Donald Trump is determined to kill us all.

This one's for all the sistahs who made it possible. Rise in power, my queens:

AFAIC, Donald and Melania deserve each other.

I'd believe it. Agree.

One more time:

For me, this one hits particularly close to home. As y'all know, Mama Khan has become a QAnon believer. Yesterday, she remarked, "All I really cared about...was that Trump would remove the pedophiles." (She also brought up the "watermark theory" that's been floating around, the one even Glenn Beck had to dismiss because it's just so ludicrous on its' face). We'd already had our post-election blowout, and I wasn't in the mood for another, so I just let her talk. But, c'mon. As if Trump would ever CARE about extinguishing pedos from government. The s.o.b. couldn't even "drain the swamp," and he had no intention to, either.

It literally brings tears to my eyes to read that statement from Biden. How I have missed this kind of sensibility from our leaders.

I truly fear what could happen between now and January, because, mark my words, Donald Trump ain't going away quietly.

Here is the Conor Lamb interview that I think @DRW50 referenced up thread: https://www.nytimes.com/2020/11/08/us/politics/conor-lamb-democrats-biden.html

I think Trump might turn a few, especially from the Southern states, but I don't believe it will make any difference in the end. From NPR: https://www.npr.org/2020/11/07/932214005/will-this-election-be-a-replay-of-bush-v-gore-at-the-supreme-court-not-likely
