Ah, Timothy Patrick Murphy. Such a promising young actor (IMO). It's sad to think of what could have been with him. (Damn this [!@#$%^&*] AIDS.)

That's sad to hear about Harry Eggart. He was one of my favorite directors.

All that's needed are some celebrity voice-overs reading the letters while sad violin music plays in the background. (Are you catching this, Jimmy Kimmel/Celebrity Mean Tweets people?)

I suspect Gary Hudson didn't act up to TPTB's expectations, so they canned him.

If Lucy Deakins had remained as Lily, then Lily and Dusty most surely would have been endgame. Then again, who's to say that Deakins and Jon Hensley wouldn't have generated a similar amount of chemistry that Hensley and Martha Byrne did? I, too, think it was possible that Marland was "assisting" Susan Bedsow Horgan and her team before officially joining the show. At the very least, he might've given Horgan notice of stories he had planned to tell, thereby allowing her to leave characters and storylines in the right places for him to pick them up from.

James Noble reminded me so much of James Stewart. He would have made a fabulous patriarch on a soap.

In the past, Y&R's music did a masterful job of setting the mood of the scenes and underscoring characters' inner turmoil. Dumping that wholesale was just criminal.

The problem with Sheffer's Barbara was that Barbara became not JUST a bitch, but a CRAZY bitch, one who's unhinged, and that can get old REAL fast.

In a way, Barron is the wild card. Trump isn't any closer to him than he is to his other kids. However, from my perspective, Barron could be the most LIKE Trump when he grows up, or he could be a completely different person, depending on what kind of mother Melania is to him. Time, as they say, will tell.

Yeah, how would the author know? Because, I've read the opposite: Trump was not close with his kids -- especially not with Tiffany -- and that Donald Jr. and Eric grew up alternately resenting him and seeking his approval.

Nope. It isn't. That's why it's more important than ever for citizens to rally behind the so-called "fourth estate." A free and unfiltered press is the very last barrier separating us from complete tyranny. If that barrier falls -- and the way things are looking, it just might -- we are truly, truly doomed.

If Trump and his gutter trash clan embody American family values, then this country DESERVES to burn.

Man, it don't get more '90's, or '90's-era Aaron Spelling, than that theme song.

Ah, memories light the corners of my mind....

Also, when you think about how Irna (and Bill Bell) had intended AW to be an ATWT spinoff (before it ended up on NBC) and that the two shows DID share a character (Mitchell Dru) once upon a time, it just made more sense. IIRC, Stephen Schnetzer made several appearances on GL as Cass; and IMO, it was an odd fit.

It might have made more sense during the James Stenbeck years, when the two men were virtually ATWT's version of Itchy and Scratchy. Well, there were OTHER factors that played into that decision. But I don't know whether I'm at liberty to say. It's a shame P&G didn't ask Robert Calhoun to succeed Ed Trach as the exec in charge for all their soaps. I feel like they would have been in much better hands with him than they were with Ken Fitts and especially MADD.

Actually, he named Holden after Holden Caufield, from J.D. Salinger's "The Catcher in the Rye." Just as Iva was named after Iva Archer, the widow of Sam Spade's fallen business partner, in "The Maltese Falcon." I always thought it odd how Darryl, who (IIRC) had been introduced as a former boyfriend of Margo's, shared the last name (Crawford) as her mother (pre-marriage, of course) and aunt. Did Margo ever note the coincidence? I can't recall.

Speaking of, what's the latest on the sinkhole at the WH? It never fails to irk me whenever certain individuals, including my own mother, suggest that Trump has somehow been anointed by God to be president. ("Really? Well, if God is pleased with Donald Trump as president, then I'm-a have to rethink this Christianity thing.")

He's STILL hot, if you ask me.

Agree. It always surprises me whenever a conservative speaks out in favor of LGBTQ rights. Like the time when Dick Cheney was asked about his views on same-sex marriage and he said, "Freedom means freedom for everyone," or something to that effect. Of course, I didn't know about Mary Cheney at the time, or her partner, but I was still taken aback when he said that. Same goes for learning about Kennedy's published argument in favor of the Obergerfell (sp?) case. That propagandist.... No matter what it is, if it's coming from the "other side," then he's against it.

That sounds like a really good concept for a teen-oriented soap. I always felt like that was the main point of "Freaks and Geeks," a show that I love and miss to this day.

Oh, well. We'll always have the jean jackets, bubblegum cards and zit removers to remember it by.

Yeah, he can't be bothered personally with that stuff right now. Not when there are still "illegals" to cage, rights to strip away and honeys on Fox News to ogle.

I think God would have a coronary if He ever heard the heathen actually praying. And I REFUSE to believe Trump is capable of ONE thought, let alone several. No, but I would expect him to pardon the shooter.

I can't speak for Titus, but I think "Tribes" was an interesting concept that was ultimately bogged down by a mediocre execution (not to mention, lack of network affiliate clearance). Same goes for "Swan's Crossing," which, despite its' brief run, developed a cult-ish following that I'll never understand.
