Same. I just want to do my part to get Trump out of office. That's all. That's the way it should be here as well. Unfortunately, the minute we elect a new president in the U.S., the media pivots immediately to the next election, which is four long years away. It's one of the many, many, MANY reasons why Americans tend to be indifferent about politics.

ICAM, @DramatistDreamer.

I'm looking at this news optimistically. Kamala's out for 2020, but she's built an enormous amount of goodwill for 2024. In the meantime, I hope whoever becomes the Democratic nominee will ask her to be their VP; and if she doesn't want that, then at least ask her to join his/her cabinet should he/she make it to the WH.

The host of TV's "Blind Date" once played a rapist on SANTA BARBARA. Irony?

IA. Every soap needs at least one character who is always on the outside looking in, so to speak. Those are the ones you always find yourself rooting for the most.

Now, Tony Lord is one character I wish OLTL had brought back from the dead. I wish the show had done a storyline where Viki decided to pen her memoirs. If only because I know we would've had SOME flashbacks.

If that's true, then that's the pettiest petty that ever pettied. FFS, PGP, it was the last episode. It wasn't as if Beverlee would be back to stay. What difference would it have made!? Jeez, lol!

Agree. SB had changed so much (maybe TOO much) while the Dobsons were away. Turning back the clock to 1987 was not going to save a show that was fundamentally different from what it'd been before.

About the only thing I love about Donna Swajeski is her name. In a way, I'm glad Mac and Iris never resolved their issues. Iris was always seeking Mac's love. To have him pass away before he had the chance to forgive her, leaving her with the belief that her daddy died not loving her anymore, gave Iris a sort of dramatic engine for the rest of her time on the show. Now, what I DO hate is that AW "died" with Iris still tucked away in prison. IDK whether Beverlee McKinsey would have been able or willing to return at the end for a cameo, but it might have been nice to see her or even Carmen Duncan back and Iris making tentative amends with Carl and Rachel.

Thanks to "Bonanza," David Canary had an illustrious career before he joined the soap world. But can you imagine the kind of career he might've had after AMC's cancellation, had he been well? I feel like he would have been in even bigger demand as an older, character actor for movies and TV series.

IIRC, when the Dobsons returned, Bridget told SOD she would need at least two years to correct the problems with the show. If they had had those two years, I think they would stabilized SB. As I said upthread, though, that was two years the show really didn't have at that point. If SB were going to survive, it would have to be overhauled much, much sooner.

Agree. I don't think Paul, Christine or Paul and Christine ever fully recovered from that story. At the very least, it should've ended either with Paul being murdered, or being turned into an out-and-out villain.

I think Paul and Lauren COULD reunite, but it would take an EP and HW (and people at CBS and Sony) who cared enough to invest in them.

That's how I felt, too. Like, it was definitely better than it had been, but it still felt lacking. I think the Dobsons struggled, because TPTB had basically taken a sledgehammer to their creation while they were away; and as Bridget herself had told SOD at the time, it was going to take time (more time than they had, really) to rebuild.

I have to agree. LML did a real number on Dru, but damn if VR didn't do her best to make it entertaining.

I disagree. CAPITOL had a terrific two-year run with Henry Slesar as HW. (His predecessor, Peggy O'Shea's, tenure was pretty good, too.). He might have saved the show, had John Conboy not been so nervous and fired him.

Well, now that CK is off-contract, Y&R would be wise to get Davetta to return as Lily. IJS.

I just think of all the resources in that sting that could have been redirected toward catching REAL criminals. This administration blows through money like no other.

Well, like Melania's jacket told us a few semesters ago, she doesn't care.

@Chris B is right: Buttigieg is just a Republican in Democrat's clothing. There is literally zero difference between his 2011 remarks and Trump's "American Carnage" remarks from his inauguration speech.

Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too many characters for a half-hour comedy.

Meanwhile, Mama Khan was going on and on about Obama being arrested very soon.

Sheila's arrival (from Y&R) really helped B&B in a BIG way.

OLTL was killin' it for awhile in '87.

Devin Nunes, this one's for you!
