DZ and Billy Miller are such weird outliers. (Although BM was technically playing Jason then, so you can lump him in with Burton.) I do remember The Dante Show well. It’s funny that Mo was still No. 1 during nearly the entirety of Carlivati’s run.

I was thinking about that the other day: how dumb it was for B&B to name a new character after an iconic figure in the show’s history whose portrayer passed away. Brad is so thoughtless. It would be like Y&R naming some random character “Katherine Chancellor.”

I like Sally and think CH is a solid talent, but she’s becoming another Chelsea. Just throwing whatever story they can at her, and this “Who’s the Daddy?” story is beyond desperate. Her type of character used to be the bread and butter for these shows. A social-climbing go-getter. Totally agree on the clunky, expository dialogue. I get that soaps often spell things out in a blunt way to catch viewers up, but the clunkiness of dialogue feels part and parcel to the whole current vision for the show.

Feels like so many great British music artists have died in their 50s and 60s recently. Alan Rankine was a founding member and the sonic master behind the great Scottish ‘80s band Associates, featuring one of the most astonishingly powerful voices ever in music, Billy Mackenzie (who unfortunately took his own life in 1997). Alan was totally gorgeous too.

My 10-year-old self is beaming. I loved De La Soul. Seems like the few missing artists are finally getting on streaming (Aaliyah, Def Leppard, and Tool most recently).

Happy New Year to all y’all 🤗 By the way, this was a mess from last night’s Miley NYE special. Love David Byrne with all my being for Talking Heads, but noooooo.

Sarah Brown’s (GH, DAYS, etc.) interview on Maurice Benard’s State of Mind is up:

Cancer. Actually it was only announced a few days ago by Jeremiah’s mother than he had an aggressive Stage 4 cancer.

Thank you, slick! Wishing you a happy, healthy 2023.

Damn. Ruth is now the only living sister.

Paul Walker (R.I.P.)

Such an iconic photo. Channeling these ladies’ creative energy into 2023: Happy New Year!

Here’s the clip of that:

I just find it… bizarre. Usually when couples fake a relationship, they “detest” each other but there’s an undercurrent of attraction that we watch build over time. We already know Spencer and Trina are desperately into each other. It just feels like spinning wheels at this point, hook plot or not. I find GH overwritten and underthought.
