The economy has been rough on everyone, @Vee. But seriously. I just don't trust Aiden and Tobias' relationship. Aiden's feelings toward Tobias are legit, but I don't think the feelings are mutual. (Don't ask me why, it's just a gut feeling!)

Or as I call it, "Blexcellence."

Every time I see her in that get-up, I start singing "Love's Hiding Place." (IYKYK). I love how she thought that look was '90's, lol.

It's an act. Tobias is really straight. He's just using Aiden for some nefarious purpose. Trust. Watch. Believe.

See, this is why I didn't bother watching KL reruns when they were first available on Plex and Prime. Because, the Internet giveth, and the Internet taketh away (and then stick it behind a paywall).

True dat!!

From your mouth to Frank Valentini's ears!

Besides, IT'S ONLY TUESDAY. We have THREE. MORE. DAYS. To see whether the same-sex, interracial couple gets a shout-out. So, please, I urge everyone, CALM. DOWN.

At this point, categories on the Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards make more sense. And would someone please tell me why Eden McCoy chose to attend the Emmys wearing Morgan Fairchild's old hairstyle and nightie?

Unless it turns out that Tobias is only pretending to be smitten with Aiden, I really don't care.

To me, "Paper Dolls" seemed like two or three so-so primetime soaps merged into one.

WOAH!! This is the first time I'm learning that Bob Guza, Sally Sussman and Patrick Mulcahey wrote for this show! Thanks, @Joseph, for sharing!

And I remember when people accused HIM of faking his accent, too, lol. I had no idea Rebecca Hollen was from Stillwater. I went to Oklahoma State University (OSU) for my freshman year; and IIRC, Stillwater located halfway between OKC and Tulsa. In fact, for the entire year I was there - which was also the last time I remember enjoying GL on a regular basis - I also was able to watch AMC twice a day: once, on the OKC affiliate, where it aired on a one-day tape delay; and then, an hour later, on the Tulsa affiliate.

Are we talking about Brad and Lucas' story in particular, or GH in general?

Ingmar Bergman, I guess?

ICAM!!

Hey, just as long as they ADMITTED the premise was corny, lol! WTB? had a really strong premise - a Tracy/Hepburn "battle of the sexes" for the '80's - but, as usual, the execution let it down. The writing should've been much more witty; and the cast, save for Katherine Helmond, was truly limited in terms of comedic skills.

Most Texas that I've encountered don't have the so-called "Texan accent" - and if they do, it's not thick - because Texas, like Oklahoma, isn't a strictly Southern state. It's more Southwest/Sunbelt than South. You don't really encounter a true Southern accent until you go to, say, Arkansas or Missouri. Now, Texas, I would argue, is more ostentatious than Oklahoma, but even they get misrepresented all the time by characters like Florence Jean Castleberry on "Alice." People criticized Donna Reed for the way she dressed as Miss Ellie on DALLAS - upscale, but not showy - but the truth is, that IS how older women from Texas dressed back then! It's Barbara Bel Geddes who had it all wrong with all those Esther Walton originals.

Yes. IIRC, she's a former Miss Alabama. And if you watch even one early scene with the Lewises, you can tell that's what she was writing. In the beginning, the Lewises and Shaynes were this queasy combination of "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof" and "Giant," but neither truly reflects what being an Okie means. Okies are more Great Plains (Kansas, Nebraska, the Dakotas, etc.) than Southerners. We don't walk around wearing Stetson hats and Colonel Sanders outfits like H.B. did. We don't prance around in Chinchillas like Mindy or Reva, or mink stoles with tailored hats and outfits like Miss Sally (and by the way, we do have madams in Oklahoma, but none of 'em look anything like Miss Sally, lol). We don't even drive luxury cars like Rolls Royces, because Okies don't call attention to themselves like that, no matter how rich they are. Furthermore, that Brick-and-Maggie routine that Josh and Reva had going at the beginning, with Billy as Gooper? That might go on all the time in places like Alabama, but it's been my experience, at least, that Okies aren't that hypersexual. We're more William Inge than Tennessee Williams, lol. And those accents! My Gawd! People from outside our state are always amazed when I tell them where I'm from, because "you don't have an accent." And then I have to tell them, "Neither does anyone else from Oklahoma!" Listen to James Garner. Listen to Rue McClanahan (when she isn't playing Blanche Devereaux). Listen to Kristin Chenoweth. Hell, listen to Beverlee McKinsey! Do they SOUND as if they're from Dogpatch! ("But, what about Reba McEntire," they say. And I reply, "That's a put-on. No one else from that area sounds like her.") One more thing: no self-respecting Okie is gonna have an outdoor wedding IN THE MIDDLE OF SUMMER, when the heat in Oklahoma is at its' most miserable, near a creek, with all the mosquitos, wasps and other bugs flying around. That's a surefire way to guarantee that no one's coming to your wedding, lol. Nor would you see any plantations like the one the Lewises apparently lived on. Again, Tulsa isn't Tara or Twelve Oaks. Just as Dallas isn't what DALLAS made Dallas out to be. Also hilarious: the backstory that Sarah Shayne had worked as the Lewises' maid. First of all, if the Lewises had had a maid in Oklahoma, she would've been Black, Hispanic/Latino, or possibly Indigenous. Second, even if Sarah had been the maid, she wouldn't have worked JUST for the Lewises. She would've cleaned several houses, because most housekeepers around here belong to agencies. They're not employed by a single family like Pearl on "Diff'rent Strokes."

And that seemed odd to me, because the Lewises and Shaynes were supposed to be from Tulsa; yet, Tulsa, IMO, is a very urban, very progressive city. But even the small town where my mother is from isn't exactly like Hooterville, lol.

What is it with the GOP and the aviation industry? First, it was Reagan, who fired all those air traffic controllers and privatized the airlines; now, it's Trump and Sean Duffy, who've got planes literally falling out of the skies! Do they want us to go back to the days of horse and buggy?

I come from the same part of the country where the Lewises and Shaynes came from, and I gotta tell ya: Pam Long never had a CLUE about people from Oklahoma, lol.

ICAM!!

Man, they were harsh on that episode, lol! IIRC, Michael J. Nelson and several others on the MST3k writing staff were discussing AMC; and somehow, they learned the GH episode was in the public domain and therefore available.

CUT TO: BREAKING NEWS: GH/PC Alum Kelly Monaco Is Y&R's New Heather! (Don't look at me like I'm crazy, you know something like that's just around the corner.)
