I agree she was better at the gig than Jeff Glor, but talk about setting a low bar, lol!

God bless our former Vice President. While our current "Commander in Chief" is threatening to dismantle FEMA and cut off federal aid to people in CA who have lost their homes, she's "on the ground," so to speak, handing out meals and comfort to those whose lives have been forever changed, and reminding us of what we USED to stand for: neighbor helping neighbor in times of struggle. Sigh. It's gonna be a looooooooong four years. Also, don't ask me why, but I left a note on Harris' website. Nothing much, just a sincere thank-you to her and to Joe Biden for helping us through the COVID pandemic. I doubt if anyone reads it. Nevertheless, I just wanted them to know that the millions who voted him back into power don't represent EVERY American; and that I, along with millions of others, will not forget what their administration accomplished.

Seriously, I can't work up too much sympathy for the Hispanic community, given how they turned out in big numbers for Trump. I'm sorry you're...concerned about the administration restricting communication with Hispanic voters, but what did you think would happen once he got back into office?

LOL!! I'm sorry, @DRW50, I'm not laughing at you. You're absolutely right. I'm just laughing at their line of thinking. (People lining up to work in the fields. Yeah, right, lol.)

It never occurs to us that the ones we want rounded up and deported are the only ones willing to work the field jobs that the rest of us think we're too good to do. This is gonna devastate our labor force, and we have only ourselves to blame.

I'm always amazed by her warmth and dignity. It just comes across as so effortless for her. Truly an inspiration for us all.

Of course, I could be confusing Justin Deas and Margaret Colin with Tom Hughes and Margo Montgomery Hughes, but I'm willing to bet that Colin, IRL, is someone who isn't afraid to call Deas on his [!@#$%^&*] when she needs to; and that that's probably why Deas has stayed with her all these years, too.

Frankly, I wouldn't even say she has a good voice. It's not BAD. It's pleasant, but so are a lot of people's singing voices. I still remember when she performed Heart's "Alone" on "Idol." Again, it was okay, but you could tell how hard it was for her to sing something that was outside of her very narrow comfort zone. I realized then and there that she'd never be a crossover artist like Dolly Parton or Reba McEntire. Time may prove me wrong, but I think all these artists who have decided to take a "If you can't beat 'em, join 'em" approach to Trump and his supporters will find that just giving into the madness won't help their careers in the long run. They're doing it, because they don't want MAGA to target them, but they'll lose more followers than they'll gain.

When you go out of your way to marginalize and disenfranchise people solely on the basis of race, ethnicity, gender (or gender identity) or sexual preference, no longer can you say you are an administration or political party that aims to be for everyone. If you do, you are committing a fraud.

Oh, dear. You know how much I adore Justin Deas...but do I really want to sit through another one of Alan Locher's interviews? (I'm sure you're a nice guy, Mr. Locher, you just suck at interviewing people.)

I don't get it either, but in a way, it made sense for Doug and for Julie. As wonderful as the Hayeses were together - as I've said elsewhere, they're probably the only soap couple who, once they were wed, never should've been split up - I think they must've been PHENOMENAL when they weren't. SSH's face and eyes were made for the close-up, so seeing the ache and the longing register every time she wanted to be next to Doug but couldn't...? And all Bill Hayes needed to do in order to express Doug's need for Julie was to sing some song like "The Look of Love," and I'll bet viewers back then ate this [!@#$%^&*] up.

Thank you, @DRW50, as always, for tagging me! It was GREAT to see that clip of Kathryn Hays and John Colenback! I'm with @All My Shadows: I, too, am ready to "Follow ATWT" into the fire, lol!

Oh, okay! I wasn't sure, lol!

Frankly, I don't, just because I never saw her appealing to anyone outside of MAGA anyway. Carrie was more country than pop/rock, so I'm sure she'll be fine with that crowd. I've pretty much decided to spend every cold/flu season from here on out "masking up" and maintaining social distances from everyone, as if we're still living under a pandemic.

Please tell me that's your typo and not the show's, lol?

As cynical and grasping as Tracy can be, she's also someone who understands what motivates others better than anyone, even if she has gained such knowledge from living a lifetime of disappointment and heartache. (I've always imagined Edward telling her, "You're not beautiful, Tracy, and you're too intelligent; but you have a lot of money, which is all that truly matters to a man.") Ironically, Justin Deas once filled in for Gerald Anthony on OLTL. There's even a clip of him on YT as Marco - he must've subbed for him after leaving ATWT - but it's probably not available anymore.

It IS sad, but I'm afraid reactions like his is something we'll all have to get used to. The majority of voters betrayed many, many people when they allowed him back into the WH. Anger like Fanone's isn't going away anytime soon.

ICAM!! Partnerships like Marco and Tracy's are what I live for as a soaps fan. And now comes the part where, once again, I urge GH to cast Justin Deas, a.k.a. SON's Public Enemy #1, as Tracy's new love interest.

Cliff and Nina weren't a couple or a supercouple. They were just Agnes Nixon and Wisner Washam messing with our heads for a decade.

I wonder why Susan Sullivan declined to appear in the anniversary episodes. Was she still on FALCON CREST at that point?

Oh, did Soupy Sales flub his lines, too, lol?

Thank you, @MissPalmer, for alerting us to this find; and thank you, @DRW50, for tagging me! I'm thrilled that I finally get to see a complete episode of THE SECRET STORM in color...but I can't say that I was enthralled with what I saw. Maybe that's because I know so little about the show's storylines, but to me, most of the episode felt like filler (which is an odd thing to say about a half-hour soap, but...). Amy's reluctance to work on Kevin's campaign gets brushed aside after 30 seconds or so, so what do we get instead? Approximately 20 minutes of folks getting excited over, what, some Revolutionary War general's papers? (Was this a July 4th episode?). Then, just as the episode appears to be going somewhere - with the possibility that Joanna MIGHT be a descendant of General Eldridge's, and the conflict that erupts immediately between her and Doug - the episode's over! Also, the teaser (with the guy who played Lt. Larry Wyatt for years on GL) was perhaps the most pointless I've ever witnessed; and I'm sorry, but if you're going to include a dog in your show, at least get one that's trained, lol. Believe it or not, @All My Shadows, the same theory crossed my mind as I was watching the episode. "Please, tell us this Joanna is the same Joanna mentioned in that diary," I said. "Anything, just so there's a point to all this!"

Yes, she did, lol! I honestly cannot recall a time when I saw JE phoning in her performance. I never saw her do that on GH, or GL, or AMC, or DAYS, or THE CITY. I never saw her do that on any primetime show she's appeared on, or in any movie. I didn't even see her do that on "Electra Woman and Dyna Girl" or A NEW DAY IN EDEN - and lemme tell ya, it takes BALLS to show up for trash like those two shows and appear not the least bit embarrassed, lol.

Yes, let's, lol! I mean, just the THOUGHT of spinning off B&S as an actual show....

It never fails to crack my [!@#$%^&*] up how gay-hating MAGA has glommed onto all things Village People, lol.
