Well Pacino can be the latter self-parody as well, so it really fits. Plus, I've only really seen constant critique of his GL days, which wasn't helped by the abject favourtism.

He and Robin Mattson were so magical together on SB that I’m surprised that she didn’t end up back on GL and re-paired with him at some point.

Justin Deas (ex-Bucky, RH; ex-Tom, ATWT; ex-Keith, SANTA BARBARA; ex-Buzz, GL) is extremely unpopular around here.  Yet, I could watch him do just about anything.

I think Michael Logan called him daytime’s Pacino, which... ok, but I think JD is prodigiously talented but also prone to bombastic self-parody in a similar way. But when he’s in the zone, I don’t think there are many, if indeed any, who are better. And he could be damn sexy. 

The Carter/Zoe/Zende/Paris quad is so lazily written. Carter is in the Peter Parros/Dr. Ben role as the decent guy who can’t see what’s in front of his face. The CBS/Bell soaps both rushed through these Af-Am quads onto the front burner, and the stories are threadbare. It’s doing the actors and the audience a disservice.

Melissa Claire Egan (Chelsea, Y&R) - I think Chelsea is a terribly written character who could leave Genoa City without notice, but MCE is a genuinely good actress. We’ve seen many many many strong actors felled by weak characters (Sarah Brown, anyone), and even Saoirse Ronan couldn’t save Chelsea.

Freddie Smith (Sonny, DAYS) - No doubt he got lazy the last few years, but I think he’s talented.

I actually think this is a decently fair distribution, at least on paper.

In terms of form, Medvedev and Zverev could really trouble Novak if they are serving well, which they have been lately. I’m sure Novak would prefer Rafa’s group atm.

I think CLB just needs a haircut. The color is better. It’s just too long.

That’s so great.  

When is a certain character supposed to show up? That’s really all I’m invested in at the moment.

Not sure why spoiler tags didn’t work for me just now...

It doesn't take watching the full show to figure that out. Lol

Abby is definitely overused in the romance department. I don't buy not care about this romance with Chance because of it. She gets a new man and engagement every year. 

I have no idea why they keep trying to make Melissa Ordway’s Abby happen. She must test well. She’s good as Victoria’s foot stool. That’s it. Her airtime could be better spread out among more viable characters.

We've seen reunions with Erica and her men a few different times (2x on Oprah).  Wouldn't it be great to have a reunion with Erica and all her female rivals?  I would book La Lucci, Julia Barr, Kate Collins, Genie Francis, Susan Pratt, Eva La Rue, and Karen Lynn Gorney.

That’s an amazing idea. Did SuLu and SMG ever mend fences?

Just when you think sh!t couldn’t get dumber, it does.

JD Vance is a huge piece of [!@#$%^&*] who is funded by dangerous men like Peter Thiel, hangs around the likes of Amy Chua (who has so many ugly ties to Brett Kavanaugh) and from what I've heard Hillbilly Elegy is patronizing and basically tells poor people it's their fault if they suffer and die. It would be very Oscar-like if Glenn Close or Amy Adams won for something so repulsive.

With a few exceptions, critics are dragging tf out of this movie:

Saturday’s Dave Chappelle-hosted episode scored SNL’s biggest audience in the demo in three years, even topping last December’s Eddie Murphy return:

As ridiculous as it is, I do have to admit that Matthew Atkinson is doing a really good job. I may laugh at the mannequin a lot but I don't often laugh at him.

I agree. He is a very good actor. The story’s dumb, but he’s selling Thomas’s psychosis.

I burst into tears watching Mike Richards, J!'s EP, introduce tonight's episode - right to the lights dimming on the empty set. Still, I want to savor every last minute of Alex. I am still absolutely heartbroken that he is no longer with us.

Yeah it was a nice tribute:

She does look good!
