Dua Lipa’s “Levitating” is Billboard’s No. 1 Hot 100 song of 2021 in spite of never reaching No. 1 on the weekly chart: Drake (not Olivia Rodrigo) is their Artist of the Year: The disgraced Morgan Wallen has the year’s top album:

I thought they had promise early on when Dante was still recovering. I don’t know: they had “something” for a brief moment. But in the routine world of the show, playing house and having dates, they are boring. But even with Sprina, who are played by dynamic actors and ooze chemistry, they are not really able to carry on a story, and they’ve lost a lot of momentum. Maybe SM isn’t as available with her class schedule, plus just the reality of soaps in 2021, but they aren’t maintaining the tension as much as I’d like.

A much weaker statement from the ATP:

I don’t like Eboni, and I wish I didn’t know who she was. As thirsty as they come. Nene needs better contouring on that Michael Jackson nose.

He does.

Just watched it. He’s SO engaging, intelligent, and articulate. And gorgeous—much more than on the show. It’s insane than he’s 63. He looks younger than his onscreen younger brother. Alan, of course, steps on a few of his *great* stories, but CLB does a better job at navigating Alan than most. I’m actually going to get tickets to see CLB in Cat on a Hot Tin Roof here in NYC next month. (He’s playing Big Daddy off-Broadway.) ATWT fans will get a kick out of a lot of his anecdotes regarding Marisa Tomei, Meg Ryan, Eileen Fulton, Betty Rea, and others.

Oh god yes. I completely agree. For a show that loves “digging” into Billy’s psyche, it’s a huge missing puzzle piece.

Sachin Bhatt is HOT. And he’s playing a sex worker…

This show screwed up any potential Sam and Dante had. They are dull af now. Romantic stories or love triangles have no momentum on GH.

There’s a VERY similar series with a Latino wine family coming to ABC in January:

It might have been the Thursday or Friday of the week the news broke that he died. I was trying to see if anyone on Twitter reacted to seeing it so I could pinpoint the date. He definitely deserves a tribute.

Abby and Chance dgaf about their kid. It’s hilarious. This story makes them both look awful. Jill needs to be around to put her foot up Billy’s ass on the regular. If not, dude needs to exit stage left.

It’s bizarre that I find this both shocking yet completely unsurprising.

Hiding a lot of body-ody-ody…

College memories circa 2000:

They had one. It had that cheap-looking font.

He does have that JEP look. But NuChance doesn’t have that rich masculinity. He’s sorta boyish to me. His mannerisms and his voice.

NuChance is gorgeous but something is a bit off. Would need to see him in more situations to get a good read on him. (Doubtful, as I’m not watching as frequently as before.)
