To paraphrase Alyssa Edwards, “Short-term thinking is a killer in this industry.” So easy to do a death for a quick dramatic impact (potential ratings boost) instead of thinking of other creative ways for a character’s departure.
Funny how, especially in recent years, writers are told to avoid specificity with characters so that they have “freedom” to take them in different directions. Yet they are so often given leeway to kill off even crucial characters in permanent ways that wind up limiting story opportunities for key players (like how Hilary’s death completely undid all the work Y&R did to finally make Devon into a rootable leading man—just to stick it to Mishael Morgan). Or they’re forced to go sci-fi to undo those deaths.
Also, when you have so many deaths, you can get numb to it. I can’t imagine “killing off” Spencer Cassadine on the backs of so many deaths (including RL ones) in Port Charles. It’s too much.

Tracy Chapman looks SO good. Glad to see her perform. That Luke Combs version is making her some $$$$.
In case you didn’t get to see it, here is the full video of Tracy Chapman and Luke Combs singing “Fast Car” at the Grammys

Extremely common for this show tbh.
I can only hope PM finds real plans for Rena, who I'm sure he wrote for at B&B a fair bit.
I remember a long monologue for Quinn (during her dalliance with TK/Ridge) about women being punished for their sexual desires that I knew instantly PM wrote.
It’s about 15 minutes in:

Another Twin Peaks loss with Don Murray’s passing:
Don Murray in many ways was the heart & soul of the #TwinPeaks revival. The essence of @mfrost11’s commentary on today’s world poured through Murray’s delivery & gave us some truly remarkable moments.

What a bummer about Carl Weathers, who was so crucial to my burgeoning sexuality. A stunning man and icon.

I do hate what they seem to be doing with Ashley, and I'm not sure what the point of it is. The real shame IMO is that I thought ED and TSJ had real chemistry and seemed to enjoy working together. But, this story destroyed that potential, and it's made Tucker's character downright unforgivable.
Not sure why he likes to destroy the only couples who have genuine chemistry (Adam/Sally being the other notable example).
Maybe he just sucks.
