Apparently, bad promos are in NBC Daytime's DNA. Here are two others that show the department's total lack of imagination or excitement for their soaps:

I hope none of the DAYS actors in that "It Will Excite You" promo suffered whiplash. Here's a favorite of mine that really sells the hell out of CBSD's 1985 lineup, with a catchy pop song ("Some Like It Hot" by Power Station), combined with choice scene picks for each soap (Y&R, ATWT, CAPITOL and GL), for a tight, relentless package.

Between the music and the lingering looks, I feel as if I'm watching an EST seminar. I believe it was created before.

True dat. Mama Khan LOOOOOOOOOVES "Murder, She Baked" and I'm like --

"Indentured servitude" is what white people call "slavery" to make themselves feel less like the scum of the earth. See also: "sharecropping."

When it comes to the former Deborah Jo Hunter, anything is possible.

"It's a match made in soap opera and Hallmark heaven...as ALL MY CHILDREN's Susan Lucci and GENERAL HOSPITAL's Vanessa Marcil team up to play the world's most glamorous mother-and-daughter crime-solving duo in...'The Supermodel Mysteries'. Coming this Summer to Hallmark Movies & Mysteries."

Let's see... Watching Charlie's Angels (weekdays on Me-TV) The Jeffersons (weekdays on Me-TV) Mama's Family (weekdays on Me-TV) Murder, She Wrote (everyday on Hallmark Movies & Mysteries) Various movies on Hallmark Channel Bingeing Law & Order (marathons on SundanceTV and WEtv) Streaming Charlie's Angels (episodes on Pluto TV) Episodes of Mystery Science Theater 3000 and Rifftrax on Pluto TV

It's true. Julie Poll, who worked on the writing staff, admitted as much to one of the soap mags. According to Poll, that move was unusual on his part, as he rarely changed the outcome on his stories.

Heart scares, public tumbles.... Honey, it's time to think about slowing down.

The minute she picked up what appeared to be a pamphlet, I knew Sheila Jackson-Lee was going in on Whittaker. ETA: Oh, it's a copy of the Constitution! Oh, Lawd! Don't tell me she was ready to whup his bald ass with a copy of the Constitution!?

But why does the media love the GOP so much? Is it just because they generate the most drama?

Boy, that Paul Manafort just does not get it.

Amazon never should have offered Woody the deal in the first place.

What's happened now?

IKR? She looks like she's carrying the weight of the world on her shoulders. If she becomes ill as a result of this pressure, the media will have themselves only to blame. Agree. There's an entire section of this country that longs for the return of Jim Crow, while the rest is doing everything they can to lurch ahead. If survival means leaving behind the South and the rest of the MAGAts, then that's what we'll have to do.

According to Lucci, her father, Victor, suffered a heart attack in his forties, so there was a genetic element involved.

I just wish people would become more selective in who to condemn. At the rate we're going, it won't be long before we start deleting people just for liking "Song of the South."

VA is fucked.

Well, thank God she's still alive and that the doctors got to her in time.

I told y'all! The maid is gonna end up being governor!

I'm not shocked. Elizabeth Taylor won an Academy Award for a movie ("Butterfield 8") that everyone and his cousin agreed was a hot, steaming pile of garbage. Of course, her almost dying arguably had a lot to do with it.

I think part of Fairfax's problem is that he's living in an age when, thanks to social media and the like, people demand answers and they demand them yesterday. There's literally zero time for public figures (such as Fairfax) to stop, take a breath, gather one's thoughts, consult a brain trust or two, and then decide the best course of action. The longer you go w/out reacting to the allegations, it seems, the more guilty-as-hell that you look. That's how you end up making the kind of WTF, possibly career-ending statements that Fairfax has made. It's just like when a celebrity dies and people get their feelings hurt because so-and-so didn't respond to the news the SECOND it broke. Chill the [!@#$%^&*] out, people. Not everyone in this world has the luxury of sitting on their Twitter or Instagram feed. Believe it or not, but some folks actually have lives.

But seriously. I agree that the moment to make that sort of confession was an odd one. However, like you, @marceline, I am not gonna hate on someone like Liam Neeson, just because, in the heat of anger, he thought about killing him some Black folks. There's THINKING about doing something heinous, and then there's actually following through. Neeson realized he was about to jump off a very steep cliff, so he pulled back, so I'm good. I've seen more than one individual try and draw comparisons between Ralph Northam and Brett Kavanaugh, and that needs to stop as well. For one thing, parading around in blackface (while doing the Moonwalk) is not the same thing as sexually assaulting women while [!@#$%^&*]-faced. Blackface is not a crime -- it SHOULD be, but it's not. (Just as white people even THINKING about doing the Moonwalk should be shot on sight grounds for immediate incarceration ("Don't even THINK about collecting your fitty bucks, just take yo' ass directly to jail!") but that's not. But I digress.) OTOH, sexual assault and perjury ARE crimes; and those who perpetrate those crimes should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. Yep. I don't feel TOO sorry for these individuals, because, well, karma and all that. But, you're right: they'd still vote for that man even now, so why bother even listening to their fake outrage?
