Out of the rest of the bunch, I would say now that Buttigieg has the best shot at doing just that. He's not the greatest candidate, but he seems to be one of the more charismatic ones. BTW, @ReddFoxx, thank you (I think, lol) for posting that...interesting photo of "Buff Bernie." My guess: left-leaning voters love Harris, but they're leery of voting for another African-American (and especially one that's female) after the abuse the rest of the country subjected the Obamas to for eight years (and counting). It's really gonna take some time for us to heal from that ugly chapter in our nation's history. Good points, @JaneAusten!

Let me guess: the next one in the series will be "To SURRENDER Her Heart"?

I wonder what was happening on GH, OLTL and AMC to have them lock up the top three in April, 1987.

That, and her spiritual adviser/beautician has warned her that dropping out this early will rip her psychic force a new one. My guess: he WILL do well enough in IA and NH to keep going -- for awhile, at least. Regardless, though, I still see it coming down to Warren vs. Sanders vs. Biden at the DNC.

Frankly, I think Beto is much more cut out to be an activist, as his impassioned statements on gun control have proven. The more the heat was turned up on him and his campaign, the more he appeared to wilt. And when he came to Tulsi Gabbard's defense? Well, I was basically done with him at that point, lol. But the thing that gets ME is that I was so sure Buttigieg would be gone before Beto would. Seriously, when is Mayor Pete gonna drop out already?? And -- it bears repeating -- WHAT THE [!@#$%^&*] IS MARIANNE WILLIAMSON STILL DOING THERE!?!?!? Agree.

Am I wrong, or is that music playing under the closing credits different from what originally aired? I could swear they played "Nobody Loves Me Like You Do" as the credits rolled. Yeah, I think Steve and Betsy's wedding garnered huge ratings for the show. Twenty million watched that episode, placing it second (I think) behind Luke and Laura's nuptials as one of daytime's most watched weddings.

"But...but...her emails! And his son!" I don't trust polls anymore. I CAN'T trust them anymore. Fifty-eight percent say they disapprove of his performance as president. Yet, come election day, the majority of those individuals will mark their ballots (again) for Trump. Believe me, I had the same reaction as you, lol.

It's only a matter of time before someone yells, "Rape me, Bernie!" at one of his rallies. Is it just me, or does anyone else suspect he might have done this as a preemptive strike against SDNY?

Republicans want this country to burn to the ground. Baby Boomers want this country to burn to the ground. Millennials want this country to burn to the ground. It seems like the ONLY people in this country who DON'T want it to burn to the ground are centrist-leaning Democrats who were born between 1965 and 1980. So, of course, nobody else gives a damn what we have to say about anything.

It's scary to think the bartenders at Trump's golf clubs won't be able to get customers drunk on Trump Vodka and whatever the hell else he self-brands and sells at ridiculous prices.

As far as the allegations of sexual impropriety are concerned, I'm sure there is a double standard going on. There's always a double standard when it comes to women who are caught in extramarital affairs versus their male counterparts. OTOH, the naked pictures...? Look, maybe it was "revenge porn." I'm not sophisticated enough to understand what AOC and others are talking about in that respect. I'm just saying, I wish millennials, including Hill, would get it through their [!@#$%^&*] heads that not every moment in an individual's life deserves to be captured forever on a smartphone; and that if you DO engage in potentially embarrassing behavior that can be captured forever on smartphones or what-have-you, then you forfeit the right to claim invasion of privacy (or "revenge porn" or "double standard") when those moments are used against you down the road. It's very simple: if you're about to do something that you KNOW would embarrass your parents or your employers, DON'T DO IT. Or, at the very least, don't take pictures of it; don't tweet about it; and don't ask others to "like" it on IG.

Poor DOCTORS. The only shows doing worse than they were at that point were "Diff'rent Strokes" reruns.

At the time, I thought Crystal Hunt had that "old school soap" look about her -- like, if it still had been the 1960's, I'm certain she would've been on LOVE IS A MANY SPLENDORED THING or WHERE THE HEART IS. It's just too bad her acting skills weren't as classic (in a good way) as her face and hair.- Rumors of Storylines/Casting/BTS

A supernatural force of some kind plunges the entire town of Harmony into a perpetual winter, forcing everyone to keep their clothes on. I'm kidding. Actually, I would have wanted to create a new love interest for Ethan -- a good girl from the wrong side of the tracks, like AMC's Jenny Gardner -- and see what would happen as Gwen and Theresa team up for once to split them apart.- Guiding Light Discussion Thread

Frankly, I don't think either had chemistry with the man. I thought PMV's Ryan would've been a much better match for Sandra Ferguson's Amanda or Alice Barrett's Frankie.- Generations Discussion Thread
CAPITOL encountered a similar problem when they premiered. Creators Stephen and Elinor Karpf had developed a very strong premise, filled with intriguing characters, backstories, and plotlines. However, it was clear almost from the beginning that they weren't really cut out to head-write their own creation. (Plus, it seems there were BTS issues with their producer, John Conboy). Eventually, though, the Karpfs were replaced with the Corringtons, who themselves were replaced with Peggy O'Shea.- Rumors of Storylines/Casting/BTS
If that's true, then I'm glad KS was successful in his efforts to quash it. Scotty has enough proverbial dirt on his hands from his actions in the ridiculous "Secret in the Attic" storyline with Rick Webber. Hitting a woman would have been the final nail in his coffin. Same. DAYS has worked that trope into the ground, never realizing that the Salem Stranger was a lightning-in-a-bottle situation. Years ago, I read that AMC had planned to introduce a long-lost child for Erica BEFORE Kendall Hart; and that, for whatever reason, they nixed it. Also, when GL's Quinton McCord (Chamberlain) was first introduced, there were several conversations between himself and Mrs. Violet Renfield, who was in charge of his household, about meeting with "The Great Man" on some nefarious activity. Allegedly, "The Great Man" was supposed to be Alan Spaulding. However, plans changed after Michael Tylo, who played Quint, proved to have chemistry with Lisa Brown, who played Nola Reardon, the town troublemaker (she had lied about being pregnant with Kelly Nelson's baby in order to keep him from marrying Morgan Richards), who had gotten a job on his estate.- The Politics Thread
And all because Trump couldn't stand that the narrative was focused so much on the impeachment inquiries. It's frightening how so much of our direction depends entirely on his fragile-as-hell ego. - Guiding Light Discussion Thread
