Susan Haskell is such a professional that she played all that unhinged stuff to the hilt. But it’s so strange to write Marty Saybrooke as a campy joke.
Daytime’s piss-poor writing of the last 25 years has laid waste to a lot of gifted actors. RH could soar in the right role, but not on daytime. He was SO miscast as Paul. And FV’s attempts to make fetch happen were so labored.

They almost played this exact same story, with Zende frustrated about not getting respect as a designer at FC, with Rome Flynn in the role. I thought they might have Zende defect to Spectra, but like so many promising B&B stories, it was dropped.

Brent Lawrence and “Marian Crane,” Guiding Light. Such a dark story. Wouldn’t fly today, of course, without considerable backlash.

The 2005 scene of Stephanie slapping Brooke was my first thought!
Leslie slapping Monica was a good one (7:38)
He thought you were DULL! He thought you were DULL and respectable! We used to lie in bed while we were MAKING LOVE and laugh about you! Making the kind of love that YOU, poor fool, are INCAPABLE OF, and it’s called PAESHUN!!!!!

Again, JG has a lot of the ingredients in places for a solid show. Family members like Mamie, Heather, and Danny back. Audra as a vixen JG doesn’t seem to be sacrificing as a short-term psycho. Jack finally getting an age-appropriate love interest and settling down. The Newmans getting something drastic to shake them out of their interminable PG-rated episode of Succession. MTS finally getting something to do. Potentially giving Victoria a grown daughter could be what she’s long needed. And CZ certainly can command the screen opposite EB and MTS (in the same way Alex Donnelley did years ago as Diane).
But we have zero evidence from his past work that he’ll make good on this potential.

I do remember that I couldn’t make it through watching Making The Band because I got the distinct impression that Combs enjoyed humiliating the aspiring musicians on that show. It’s not a giant leap from smaller but persistent humiliations to big ones.
Yeah, I remember him making the girls go all the way from uptown Manhattan to Brooklyn to get him some cheesecake or something late at night. There was a cruelty to reality-competition TV that people reveled in back in the 2000s and it was quite revealing. There was a nakedness to it, as if, “Get ready, this is just the tip of the iceberg of what you’ll have to deal with as you navigate this industry, so suck it up.”

To say that these allegations being made by the singer Cassie against Sean Combs are serious would be a massive understatement. A few months ago when the news was released that Combs had finally returned the masters of many of the songs that he had been holding the rights to back to the original artists, a few people speculated that some damaging revelations about him were likely soon to come out. That statement stuck in the back of my mind for some time and now it seems quite prescient.

| Aubrey O’ Day of Danity Kane talked about Diddy giving artists their publishing and the terms they had to accept to get it which included “releasing him from any claims or actions.” She didn't take the deal.
She also revealed that Andrea and D Woods of DK didn’t sign either. pic.twitter.com/k1MhPzTZ9pProtect Aubrey O’Day at all costs!! Diddy knew exactly what he was doing but one thing about Ms O’Day is she ain’t going for none of the bullshit! pic.twitter.com/Ii7Sc1qAAk

This whole story is moving way too fast. Within a month of meeting Claire has kidnapped Nikki?
Where can they go from this?
My feeling is the aunt Jordan thing will be some lame retcon.
I think its going to be another misfire from Griffith.
This. His stories either draaaaaag or are rushed. Neither extreme is satisfying. The stunts are usually rush jobs. The Cameron Kirsten ordeal is basically already forgotten.

Interesting thread:
#SAG Actors, I want to make you aware of some of the language in the #AI portion of the tentative SAG agreement.
— Justine Bateman (@JustineBateman) November 12, 2023
Though SAG leadership made much effort to protect members in AI, there are many issues you should look at. I have saved the most serious issue for the end. 1/0 -

It will be a difficult one for any editor/producer to put together.
Jackie Zeman, Andrea Evans, Billy Miller, and Tyler Christopher all dying in the same year, among other talents, has been devastating and each of them is so deserving of being properly spotlighted in the farewell.
If anything, the In Memoriam is the thing I will be watching for.
John Aniston, Elizabeth Hubbard, just to name a couple more icons who left us since the last ceremony.
Bob Barker also died, and I’m sure CBS will be encouraging an extensive tribute. While he’s certainly worthy of recognition, I hope they don’t shortchange the actors because they’re not household names like him.
They really need to think through how they’ll handle the numerous losses this year. The producers could devote an entire segment to an In Memoriam, with cast members remembering their late co-stars (Amelia Heinle/Melissa Claire Egan/Elizabeth Hendrickson on Billy Miller, Martha Byrne/Scott Bryce on Liz Hubbard, Fiona Hutchison/Erika Slezak/John Loprieno on Andrea Evans, Genie Francis on Tyler or Jackie, Suzanne Rogers on John Aniston with a message or appearance from Jennifer, etc.).
But we know what a joke the Daytime Emmys are. They don’t respect the medium. They’ll have some D-list has-been sing some old song they can license on the cheap with PowerPoint projected on the backdrop and be done with it, per usual. It’ll be up to the winners to pay proper tribute in their speeches.

Wow, Jezebel is shutting down.
Today is yet another really rough day in media; dozens of my Vice colleagues are being laid off globally and we just got news that Jezebel, where I worked for years, is being shut down.

Totally. I’m all for dropping things that don’t work, but this show feels so chaotic with the fits and starts that ultimately revert back to the “norm.”
Again, I wish we had a more empowered soap press who did more than transcribe publicity soundbites from TPTB. Like more insights on process, how they respond to fan reactions, etc. The types of interviews we often get from primetime showrunners.
