To echo others, I can’t imagine Michelle Stafford playing anything Cynthia Watros is currently playing as Nina on GH, *especially* the Sonny relationship. CW is totally credible in soft, emotional scenes with Phyllis and Lenny as well as baby Wiley in ways that MS could *never* pull off. Stafford has it in her to play emotion and empathy but she’s soooo self-conscious in scenes whereas CW is far more grounded. CW has done her best with a poorly conceived character and has made her watchable.

Shawn D. said something about flight issues or cancellations. It was weird.

So funny how active this thread was and how dead it became.

The Indie Spirit awards are moving three weeks earlier than Oscar weekend in an attempt to broaden their audience and influence: https://deadline.com/2021/07/indie-spirit-awards-shakeup-1234798000/

Behind it, diagonal to it, perpendicular to it…. They were really going there with the double entendres.

I’m kind of into Faith’s hairdo. Meghan McCain would be jealous. Is LAR on contract as Imani or no?

Can someone slap the sh!t out of Claire (anyone at the church will do) and murder Ben?

He loves him some Crystal Fox. (I almost typed “Hunt” lol.)

Ha. Good point.

Didn’t she just pass out while getting her star on the Walk of Fame? I think she needs to get somewhere and sit down.

LOL what?!?! Perfect ending for a dumpster fire of a show, I guess. Angela Robinson should really be on a soap.

They need to stop having black folks sing on this show. I’m reminded of Timothy D. Stickney’s anecdote in the OLTL oral history. He said he pretended to be tone-deaf so they wouldn’t haul him out to sing at holidays and funerals.

“El Capi” From Puerto Rico 🇵🇷

The perspective of a literal serial killer is valued on DAYS more than the black scion of two core families. Ain’t that something? Theo is always being subordinated to the hot white dude du jour—even when that dude literally shot and nearly killed him.

I get Aunt Stella’s anger at Shawn, but she was obnoxious today.

Sometimes Y&R actually remembers Lily isn’t just a generic, ethnically ambiguous Rashida Jones character. This is what, the second time she’s hung out with Moses?

I love seeing Ciara pop Claire. It’s pure sadism, I know.

This couple from Brazil 🇧🇷

I wonder if this spectacular NBA Finals performance from Giannis Antetokounmpo will inspire his friend and compatriot Tsitsipas.

Eboni is cynical, careerist, and full of sh!t, that’s why. Can’t stand her. What did she say about giving Bershan “black extra credit”?

I just don’t think it was the right venue for that chat at all. They were woefully unprepared to have that conversation. LOL at Luann saying that Sonja cracking the fire extinguisher glass was worse than Luann drunkenly attacking and threatening a police officer. The séance elicited some real meaty stuff, especially from Sonja and Ramona. God help them if they think this show will work without Ramona Singer.
