Andy Cohen in the comments says Michael Corbett was his No. 1 daytime crush in the ‘80s:

For me, it was just a chemistry thing. It’s so hard to find, so when it works, I think shows should pursue it. I’m in the minority in that I don’t see as much with nuTrina (she’s been great and they work well together but I don’t feel the same way). But it’s also the way Spencer has been treating her. I’m all for the bad boy/good girl romance, but their interactions have begun to sour me on the pairing, which is a writing failure.

Renewed for another season.

I know GH plays the “make ‘em laugh, make ‘em cry, make ‘em wait” game, but the payoffs are so crap on this show. Don’t play that game unless you can make the wait worth it. It’s partially why I’m losing hope on Sprina.

Jack Harlow debuts at No. 1 with his Fergie-sampling “First Class.” He previously topped the chart with “Industry Baby,” his collab with Lil Nas X:

And that legacy has destroyed its daytime series.

And CSI and Survivor are still driving CBS to this day. CSI more in its influence but Survivor is vying to be the top-ranked series on broadcast in its 42nd season. That’s a format resonating through the generations.

Not to veer too off topic: Northern Exposure and Picket Fences may have dominated the Emmys in the ‘90s, but lived in the shadow of Twin Peaks, then Chicago Hope in the shadow of ER. They never had that linchpin, pop culture show until maybe CSI. I rarely hear anyone discuss NE, PF, or CH these days, partially because they aren’t streaming aside from PF. I’m glad to see Wiseguy on Peacock, but I guess it’s a bit radioactive due to Spacey. Maybe I’m underselling NE, because the Rob Morrow/Janine Turner romance was a big deal in hindsight.

Incredible how startlingly beautiful she was even to the very end. Regal even. Age dulled none of it.

All of the Seinfeld parents are gone, I believe. She was so funny:

Yikes at the Photoshopping on that cover. Kevin Spirtas looks like he needs a Benadryl or an EpiPen.

Would be hard to distinguish between the doll and the real thing.

Nope, I definitely noticed a little vibe too.

Meanwhile, aside from Victoria’s baby a thousand years ago with Cole, all the Newmans are alive and kicking. Even Cassie (adopted) got a replacement.

That’s just too much thinking! (To add to that, that means he would have secretly known Harrison wasn’t his because of his sterility, which would have added to his cat/mouse dynamic with Tara.)
