Her delusions aside (and maybe even because of them), with the right person, she could be a great and revealing interview. Alan Locher is not the right person, though.

I won’t argue that (hated Pratt), but it’s just telling that they have to go back that far for decent clips.

Are they still using Justin Hartley’s Adam getting blown up (w/o JH shown) in 2016 in ads for Y&R in 2021?

So funny that I haven’t even noticed he’s not around. Which is… not good. And I blame Bradley more than anyone.

Lol. That’s a funny take. Although I think it’s believable that Sami would have a deeper connection with the schlubbier yet more grounding Lucas. DF was good in his scenes with Thaao today. But yeah I wish they allowed him to be a slightly rougher version of E.J. instead of shoehorning him into James Scott’s posh, polished version. And it would make story sense given all that E.J. has been through.

That doesn’t look good.

Swickard is doing a great job. He’s selling the hell out of a story that’s actually not good.

Wow, and FV looked a gift horse in the mouth. Damn it. They should have just let him go. (Where are you seeing this btw?)

HBO Max reboot coming, with Robert L. Boyett executive producing:

Week No. 3 for BTS’s “Butter” at No. 1. (Tom Breihan from Stereogum later walked back his BTS comments after fans barraged him with criticism.)

Christiane Amanpour has revealed she’s been diagnosed with ovarian cancer. She’s undergone surgery and currently starting months of chemo:

Totally good to see her, but it’s a reminder that the Y&R she’s associated with no longer exists. Katherine and Ryan are dead. Paul, Christine, and Jill are MIA. Her long-lost Ronan’s gone. The writers everyone now and then remember her connection to Victoria, but she and AH don’t have that rich history and chemistry TC had with HT. They didn’t even bother to use TC for the most recent Neil tribute, even though Tricia and KSJ literally grew up together, and Neil and Nina were friends. They used Eileen Davidson, for heaven’s sakes. There are a lot of different ways they could use TC, and they just aren’t doing it. Even though she wasn’t super tight with Victor, Nikki, Lily, et al, she’s a known entity from around Genoa City who could work with more major players. I wonder how long it’ll be before Sally leaves. They are clueless as to what to do with her, and it really shouldn’t be that hard. Why not at least put her in Nick’s orbit? He has nothing to do. This off-screen Chance story… 🙄

Yeah, back to their problem of telling, not showing. Nina is so wasted on Abby btw.

I’m all for something different, but Ashland doesn’t seem like a man Victoria would be into. She’s much more into the wild, brooding, artsy, boyish types. And they aren’t really selling it, even with the art connection. The Lockes are just a miss for me.

What’s additionally crazy is that, seeing that level of engagement with the clip, they didn’t think to post it themselves? (Unless I missed it?) They just have a very 20th-century way of marketing themselves.

Seems like a lot of outlets sourced that line from the wiki because THR used “controlling” as well.

The sleek, short-haired James Scott look doesn’t work as well with Dan Feuerriegel, who looks better with a more rugged, scruffy look.

That’s a huge factor. When I worked on a digital series, I was so envious of how easy it was to license music in the U.K.

I’m not sure if the U.K. programs have the same issues with renegotiating and updating ancient union guild contracts with cast and crew for today’s streaming era, but I’d love to get to the bottom of that. @Errol? The U.K. has Equity, WGGB, and other unions too. I wonder if part of it is that British soaps are considered more “mainstream” (airing in primetime, greater gender parity in viewership, etc.). Then again, we’re still waiting on Knots Landing and Falcon Crest to hit streaming in the U.S.

GH has some good things going on, but it can’t help but fall into somewhat of a slump after a decent May. So many stories had been peaking at once. But the aftermath isn’t that compelling IMO.

Sugarpova is pressed haha.
