Someone needs to alert the GOP. Their fembot has gone rogue.

I love how the show delayed Phillip's discovery of his true parentage until he was that age. No way would today's soaps ask such patience from their audiences.

IKR? I'm not a fan of either actor, but even I know Will Estes would've been a much better recast than JY.

I wish the show had just done away with the whole "Oops! We lost the tape!" story (which smacked of "Tootsie," anyway) and simply announced they were doing a live episode for the first time in however many years. I also wish they had used the occasion to do something eye-catching -- a murder, a wedding, a birth, a revelation of some kind, SOMEthing -- that might've convinced the audience to keep watching, because, from what I remember, the actual episode was pretty ordinary.

Unfortunately, such sights as those won't matter to those who still believe COVID-19 to be a hoax or something that's been blown out of proportion in order to scare folks/defeat Trump in the election. But, I agree, it needs to be done. In fact, as I've suggested elsewhere, if/when this is all over, there needs to be some sort of national memorial like the ones erected for the victims of 9/11.

Janet Zarish's hairstyle is...tragic. I wish they hadn't phased out the bookstore. That seemed like such an interesting and workable locale. Who knows? As the years progressed, it could've been expanded into a bookstore/coffeehouse, when that trend started catching on.

For sure, I'd love to see Marcia McCabe, Maree Cheatham, Lisa Peluso and Rod Arrants. But, I'd add to the list Lewis Arlt, John James, Michael Nouri, Cynthia Gibb, Morgan Fairchild, Courtney Simon, Millee Taggart, Matthew Ashford, Michael Corbett, David Forsyth (if he's healthy), Joel Higgins, Jeffrey Meek, Jacqueline Schulz, Gary Tomlin.... Yeah, I admit, it's a long list, lol.

Frankly, I don't think PS likes anyone, lol. But, I think his resistance had more to do with the fact that an Ed/Nola union just seemed so incongruous. And it was. I mean, yes, I am a Quint/Nola fan, but not to the degree that I would be opposed to seeing Nola (or Quint) with anyone else. (Provided, it made sense. Which, IMO, Ed/Nola did not.)

This was when she was still Niki Smith, right?

[!@#$%^&*].

Okay, new rule: Joe Biden is not allowed to speak publicly (or even privately) until after the election. But seriously. Does his latest gaffe matter to anyone? Especially now, when we remain in the grips of a worldwide pandemic? I wish we had the luxury to cancel him. However, the simple truth is that we don't. The republic will not survive another four years of Donald Trump. It just won't.

I blame that on network/EP interference. Under the best possible conditions? Maybe Henry Slesar. Or Peggy O'Shea. Or even Pat Falken Smith. But, that's all presuming Patrick Mulcahey would have been unavailable or uninterested in assuming the reins.

Frankly, the coronavirus is much too smart to bother with someone so stupid.

Two months later... "The role of Lori Loughlin will now be played by Karrie Emerson."

IIRC, William J. Asher is Elizabeth Montgomery's ("Bewitched") son by William Asher.

Well, now it can be told: Bill Bell, and not Agnes Nixon, was the real genius behind Pine Valley.

Except, I don't believe Nola would have been okay with Nadine stashing a pregnant Bridget in her attic and then passing off the baby (Peter) as her and Billy's.

Thanks (once again) for your analysis, @dc11786. I watched LOVING only intermittently, so it's nice to get an in-depth perspective from someone who followed the show more closely. You really help me (and others) "see" what was happening on the show, if that makes any sense, lol.

If I've said this once, I've said it a million times: DAYS should have brought on Erika Slezak as Dr. Laura Horton.

It's certainly better than MY suggested title: "The REAL General Hospital."

I love how the Internet has taken to calling that Costco "customer" "Kevin." But seriously. As y'all know, I live in "the great state of Oklahoma." For years, there was a movement of sorts to get our state government to reverse a rule that prohibited drivers from operating any motor vehicle while shirtless. I don't know whether they were successful in getting the law struck down, but it doesn't surprise me now to see people refuse to wear masks (even though private businesses are well within their rights to ask patrons to do so). It frustrates and angers me, but it doesn't surprise me.

I realize his narcissism makes it impossible for him to remain out of the public eye...but, man, I wish Matt Lauer would just take his millions and go far, far away.

Apologies for this random question, but...did anyone ever come back from the dead on KNOTS? Because, as far as I can recall, when someone died on the show, they stayed dead, which was (and is) kind of a rarity even among the primetime soaps.

Believe me, @DramatistDreamer, I know how you feel. I don't know which is worse: the fact that she displayed the sign, or the fact that she doesn't apologize so much as she passes the blame. ("It wasn't my sign! Someone handed it to me!" Yet, there she was, arguing that she was a "free human being," who wouldn't be controlled by anyone. Isn't it ironic? Don't you think?) It literally makes my blood boil to witness such jackholes equate minor inconveniences with three centuries of slavery and segregation. You think being asked to wear masks and gloves is a slippery slope toward being controlled entirely by the government? Take it from someone whose ancestors were runaway slaves; you ain't seen nuttin' yet!

Lisa Brown and Melissa Hayden's chemistry as Nola and Bridget was probably one of the very few bright spots in an otherwise dark and nasty period for GL. If only Nancy Curlee had been around to write for those two....
