Hilarious considering her stories took Emily into the gutter.

The great jazz singer Cassandra Wilson has passed. Her version of U2’s “Love Is Blindness” surpasses the original. So many losses lately.

My stomach sank when I saw this news. She’s an icon of icons.

They were on one today with all their man musk talk, “I like your hot dog,” and that crazy death fantasy.

Feels like he’s finally gaining some momentum again.

I loved her on Coach. https://variety.com/2026/tv/news/shelley-fabares-dead-coach-the-donna-reed-show-1236841162/

Jonathan Jackson posted a tribute on IG.

I didn’t love Joey barking at that guy. Weird that Martin/Smitty were fully clothed when we returned to their love scene. Granted, anyone could’ve walked in on them on the living room couch, and I guess they couldn’t afford the bedroom set today. We’re so used to seeing the Dani/Andre and Nicole/Kial gymnastics lately, and it would’ve been nice to see the dudes get in on some of that, especially after all the interruptions from the kids we’ve seen with them.

I don’t like Tomas, but Naomi is wrong here re: the way he followed Bill’s order. He’s under no obligation to “loop her in.” They’re both irritating af. Oh god, is Kat going to make a play for Isaiah?

Super heartbreaking. Such a gifted young talent.

I pop in from time to time (especially in recent years with all of the memorials). I popped in for Patrick Mulcahey’s failed stint, the Gio parentage fallout and Michael’s return with Rory Gibson, Sam’s death and Ava’s trial, Lucky’s totally half-assed return, etc. I don’t find the show compelling enough to stick with, but I’ve felt that way for the entirety of FV’s tenure, with a few exceptions. I’m realizing that the spell has been broken for me with GH, similar to what happened earlier with DAYS, which I don’t even keep up with at all. Things always seem to be happening, but… I don’t care. I’m not interested in villain du jour stories or even WSB, which I know is very old-school GH. I feel no connection to the characters, even veteran ones like Anna and Tracy, aside from enjoying the actors. Still, I cry like a baby for its memorials, and they do them well. The longtime shoddy treatment of its Black cast is a big factor. Looks like they’re actually getting story, but it doesn’t seem like they’re being written with any care or depth. What I’ve seen with Curtis doesn’t work at all, even if he’s always had jerk vibes. And seeing what happened to Sawandi Wilson’s Isaiah, who arrived with so much promise and chemistry with other cast members, bums me out. Reminds me of how they had to be coerced to capitalize on Sprina, and it happened way too late.

Other than pretty people together, there’s no there there with Nicole/Kial. Nothing to invest in. Now, Dani and Heather mixing it up has potential. They’ve definitely been telegraphing that. Heather being in town while someone was watching Andre in previous episodes.

One of my favorite William Orbit-produced tracks:

Y&R under Josh Griffith is at a nadir for sure, but that’s a looooow bar. LML, MAB, and Pratt’s versions of Y&R beat his by a country mile, simply because they had actual stories, but they were still mostly unwatchable to me. I dipped out on MAB’s Y&R for years because of how dreadfully vile and dark the show had become. I’ll give Jamey a shot because of the lifelong reverence he has toward the show in spite of my hate for Ambitions (I really didn’t like it). But life’s too short to watch something I don’t like, and that’s getting clearer and clearer to me as I age.
