Sally had sworn to make Phyllis pay for interfering with her relationship with Jack. No follow-up to that at all. You’d expect Nick to be in her crosshairs by now, since they seemed to foreshadow that when Nick walked into the Grand Phoenix after Sally made her vow of revenge.

Fresh Prince is the only one I can think of, with their recent reunion and a dramatic reboot (albeit not with the same cast, so a little different—a proper reboot as opposed to a revival) https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/fresh-prince-bel-air-drama-reboot-works-1306799/

And Halep couldn’t even play.

Maybe Sheila works with Sally to get to Lauren, while Sheila helps Sally with Phyllis (although they probably don’t want to remind us of the Pheila debacle). I dunno. I don’t think Y&R wants to use TEB anymore like that. The real villains they need to get rid of: Steve Kent and Molina/Griffith.

Indeed. I would love Sheila on Y&R or B&B. Y&R has Ashland, Sally, and Chelsea right now, and they’re all weak sauce. Sally and Chelsea aren’t really villains and don’t really even work as sympathetic schemers. Ashland is such a watered-down Big Bad whose treachery is not at all evident on screen. Total waste of a good actor. So yeah, Kimberlin, all is forgiven.

GH: C (would be a C- if not for last week) DAYS: D Y&R/B&B: F Not even Carter/Quinn can save B&B for me right now. If they were the A story, I’d maybe give them a D+.

Naomi has withdrawn from Roland Garros:

Yikes.

Yikes, Thiem, who led two sets to love, is out in R1 to Andujar at RG, and Dimitrov retired due to ongoing back injuries in spite of being on the verge of winning: Meanwhile…

Yeah, they need to recast (again) if they intend to really entrench her in the show.

It actually surprised me when I was older that the “Ooga Chaka” version was more popular. I think I first heard that Blue Swede version in a commercial and thought it was a joke.

Loved “Hooked on a Feeling,” which they played all the time on the oldies station when I was a kid. Handsome dude too:

Fücking *awful* writing for him, indeed. I still shudder at him sexing up his “Aunt” Tyra just days after realizing they weren’t blood relatives. Few characters could have survived that.

Yeah, but he’s been typically dismissed as “boring” or “uncharismatic” around these parts. YMMV ofc. I think he’s brilliant.

Nina’s absence is a particularly big oversight, especially since TC wasn’t available for the original tribute, and she’s now around. Unpopular opinion, but Bryton is easily one of the best actors on this show. Does a lot with a little. Rarely, if ever, hits a false note IMO.
