Oh ok. Saw the phone call between Peter and Helena at the end of yesterday’s show.

Is Cady doing something weird with her voice? In that first scene, it seemed like she was unusually high-pitched, like Nancy Addison-pitched. I’m like, that’s a choice!

Sally at the end

 

 

Chelsea and Adam literally play the same scene over and over... and over... aaaaand over. They’re both boring.

I don't believe I was ever authenticated, no. I could be wrong. I just signed the posts.

"Sleestak" wasn't something I ever used, it was a nickname that came around later from somebody else near the end of my time there. I always felt it was a very forced meme and I never liked that name tbh. It was like someone trying hard to make DL magic happen. But hey, it caught on.

Yeah, DL always had those fake malapropisms that became memes. To me, it sounded like something a wackadoodle old lady might say, so I found it amusing.

There was a LOT of good soap gossip on there, and I remember the OLTL insider. There was also a lot of great AMC and GL dish that I had a friend (who rolled in soap actor circles here in NYC) verify.

Season 7 of NYC shows why more is best.

That was an awesome season, although Kristen Taekman could have been a “friend of” for all her little screen time. And S8 had seven women and was just as strong. No one felt neglected that season (in spite of Bethenny’s unseemly quest for dominance). I prefer an ensemble feel. It keeps the center of gravity from going too far in one direction and keeps the dynamic from getting too monotonous.

There was a 'From the Elegantly-Understated Tortoise-Shell Desk of Victoria Lord', or whatever I named it, thread which I doubt anyone remembers today - Viki would write incredibly foul missives from her desk and mock posters. It was reasonably well-received, I guess. She would sign every post: 'Love, V.'

 

That was me. It was always me. When we moved to Invision or whatever and I had to make a new screen name I chose that one, wondering if someone would pick it up or this sig. I'm not sure anyone ever did or remembered those old DL posts (or does today!), but it's been maybe 15 years since the move to Invision so I guess it's time enough to say that was me and that's why this screen name is what it is. So there you go.

 

I should add: The old Helen Lawson threads really should have been archived. Genius.

That is so funny. I remember that thread! They always loved a good Viki Sleestak post. So you were one of the great “authenticated”? I never had the balls because the queens there were brutal.
 

And yes, they should have archived those Helen Lawson threads, among many others (like the 9/11 threads). Sad that we can’t Wayback Machine them. And I remember they banned all soap opera posts for a while (due to the influx of “fraus”), which was a bummer.

Just grabbing the tweet:

Wednesday’s Y&R was the day after the Devon-punching-Nate cliffhanger. Hmmm...

A couple of my friends are in Taiwan, and they’re just living their best lives, maskless and without any social distancing, going to concerts and comedy shows, feeding baby deer at farms lol. It’s like another world. Also: this weekend is Gay Pride in Taipei, with circuit parties and everything, and apparently you have to register to participate in the events (for contact tracing).

Oh wow. Grigor beat Stefanos.

I just got Amazon Prime last week, so now I have both that and Netflix. There are so many things on Prime I want to watch. I was shocked to see that they had the entire run of the original Dark Shadows!

And their movie selection, including a lot of old classics, is pretty decent too.

Same.

 

 

Totally get that they have bills to pay, and they have an amazing catalog. But it’s certainly giving me pause, especially considering how my viewing has shifted to Amazon Prime.

Hmmm...

  Awesome news.    Hoping Y&R brings back more old faves.  Tonya Lee Williams as Dr. Olivia Hastings is a no-brainer.   She should've already been brought back since son Nate has been on the show now for over 2 years.   I want Daniel Romalotti, Danny Romalotti, Heather Williams, Fen Fenmore, all back as well.  Maybe bring back Eva LaRue as Celeste Rosales,  which was a promising role and won LaRue a Daytime Emmy Award an then all of a sudden the character was dropped.   I thought Eva LaRue and Peter Bergman had promising chemistry!

It seems Y&R lost all interest in the Rosales family post-Angie McD/Mal, except for Lola. I doubt they could bring back all those people, unless they decided to do what DAYS does and cycle folks in and out. But they definitely need TLW back on canvas, even if she pops in and out like Jill and Gloria. Olivia has been a missing element with Nate as well as Devon and Lily. The question is... does TLW even want to be back?

Wonderful news. Will be great to see her again.

What happened with Sinner? He basically walked out on court for his Rublev match and retired. People were looking forward to that battle.

Ah, foot injury:
