Oh, no. Just what this country needed: another "battle of the sexes," lol.

Pretty much what you'd expect: that she was arrogant and thought she was worth more to the show (and to MTV) than she actually was.

I mean, I've heard horror stories about KW going back to "Remote Control" on MTV, lol.

Does Kari Wuhrer get along with anyone?

Thom Racina told that story once on some podcast. The photo was of Gloria Monty.

I wouldn't be surprised if much of Lisa Hartman's musical performances are edited out.

After Team Trump got nailed for playing Celine Dion's "My Heart Will Go On" at their last rally, Eric Swalwell went on X to say he "believes" there's a saboteur working on their campaign. I'm starting to think he might be onto something there (even if he wasn't entirely serious). Exactly. As I've said on multiple occasions, White America looked at Barack Obama and realized an existential threat. To his supporters, therefore, Donald Trump represents their last stab at relevance in a country where their dominance is on the wane. Even if, statistically speaking, white people will soon be in the minority, they want to ensure that their power over all our lives will be felt for generations to come.

I think so. By the time the lawsuits were settled and the Dobsons were allowed back onto the set, I think cancellation was all but guaranteed, despite Bridget's insistence that they would need two years to get the show back into shape.

Oh, I will be over the frigging MOON if Plex airs "Homefront." Everything the Lechowicks did wrong on KNOTS, they did right on "Homefront."

Robert Altman and Michael Ritchie couldn't have conjured up a scenario more comically absurd than that "rally." All you needed was Miss Azalea Festival tap dancing and twirling her baton to "Stars and Stripes Forever."

RFK Jr. knows his campaign is DOA, so now he's trying to leverage his base for a job. If Team Kamala turns him down, I've no doubt he'll go to Team Trump next. That man has turned out to be a HUGE disappointment, and that's saying something for a Kennedy, lol.

"They're going to make D.C. and Puerto Rico states!" is right up there with "They're coming for your guns!" in the phantom fears department.

Not really. There were parts of it that I liked - mostly anything to do with Sally or Stephanie - but overall, I thought the acting was atrocious and the storylines watered-down Y&R.

Just what the NYT loves: evidence to suggest that the Dems are "in disarray." Thanks, @wonderwoman1951!

If what happens on Election Day holds true to that prediction, then Kamala Harris is definitely on track to defeat Donald Trump and defeat him SOUNDLY, in such a way that local election boards will be hard-pressed to contest or reject without serious pushback from voters. (To me, it's important that we defeat him so that it can't be argued that the election was "rigged.")

Although I question the inclusions of B&B and PASSIONS - one of which, I'd swap with GENERATIONS - it's really not a bad list. (I mean, we have to be realistic: no one's gonna include LOL, LIAMST or SS, lol).

CC always struck me as toxic and high maintenance and not really worth the trouble of hiring.

Yeah, I'll dip in when I can, but I'm not going to sit and binge watch KL 24/7 either, lol.

I think I read somewhere that Barbara and John were briefly involved. Did they reference their earlier relationship at all when they hooked up in the '90s and had Johnny?

Folks: "Oh, he just has stage fright!" Khan: "Stage fright, my ass! Bill Bell and Agnes Nixon had stage fright, but they just got tongue-tied. Frank's either on the spectrum or he's ill." That's exactly what's going on here. We spent months and months on Kristina, Molly, TJ and that damn baby, and that's how it ends? The baby's dead*, Kraze are kaput and Blaze is out the door (but her homophobic mom isn't)? Frank can kiss my black ass! (*I'm not exactly sorry that the baby is dead, but you don't spend all this time on a pregnancy that ends in miscarriage. That's a terrible payoff.) This is why I was against her being bisexual. Daytime is not fully committed to telling stories about characters who are bisexual. In the end, they just cop out and put that character in a heterosexual relationship anyway. All I can say is, bring on THE GATES.

I'm not sure if CBS had officially cancelled DW, or if they were thinking seriously about it. Either way, Viewers for Quality Television launched a letter-writing campaign to save the show. IIRC, when CBS decided to reverse course and put the show back on Monday nights, they waved a white flag outside one of the network's offices to show they had surrendered to the fans, lol.

A pretty good sign that TPTB were glad to be rid of her. I'm curious as to how longtime ATWT fans here felt about Melinda's introduction. Did y'all buy that Jennifer Ryan could have had an illegitimate daughter whom she later gave up for adoption and told no one about? How was Melinda received at the time by the audience and the soap press? Did they buy her as Barbara's long-lost sister or not?

Oh, thank goodness. The sequence was grisly enough without having to watch them drag her lifeless body out of the water. I think the fact that they taped it on location makes her death seem more real. If they had taped the whole thing in the studio, it might've looked laughable, with viewers insisting Melinda didn't really die. Of course, I understand Brad's grief in this situation, but I think Peter Brouwer was way overdoing it, lol.

Did they show Melinda's corpse? I wonder why she didn't just swim away from the boat as she saw it approaching.
