Another election, another Democratic win! This time, in Louisiana, which was a +13 Trump district:

Deidre's character, Claudia, was married to Tim Curry's character, Winston Newquay! I know I posted something from this a few years ago, but I forgot exactly what, and there's more than one here. this time. Besides the above and the star Ken Wahl, it also features Debbie Harry and Glenn Frey, among others!

"The House of DiMera" is a SNOOZE. And way to already ruin Liam before he really gets going.

Yep, he was a creeper, all right! 😛

I can't wait until these murdering goons realize they were lied to and that they discover they have ZERO immunity. If/When Dems regain power, the first order of business should be prosecuting Jonathan Ross for killing Renée Good and also obtaining the identities of the two goons that murdered Alex Pretti and prosecute their asses, too. If I recall, a list of these freaks was supposedly leaked, so use that to identify all of them. And if ICE must remain in some fashion, ensure that the masks come off and stay off. Then I bet a lot of these cosplay warriors wouldn't stick around since, at heart, they're cowards, just like their orange leader.

Never knew Susan Misner was on a soap. I know she had numerous roles on the Law & Order franchise, and she was pretty good! One of those roles on Criminal Intent was opposite a then-unknown David Harbour as her wackadoodle religious-nut hubby. LOL. I do also remember Darlene Vogel (Melanie, OLTL) from that USA cop show on bikes, Pacific Blue. Why I remember the name, I don't know! And Barbara Niven had at least three separate guest roles on Silk Stalkings back in the day. Cheesy, but fun!

That would be Cold Case. SJB joined the show as a detective (and, if I recall, was resented by that show's audience for taking screen time away from Kathryn Morris' Det. Lily Rush!). Then Sarah got into a public squabble with Les Moonves, and her character was gone quickly. (Knowing what we know now, Sarah calling out Moonves was a brave move.)

Oh, wow. Her episode (two episodes in syndication, but in first run, it was a single two-hour November sweeps episode in 2005) aired just the night before last. She was so good in that small role, as a mother desperate to find her missing daughter, and taking a Nancy Grace-type to task for ignoring her daughter in the media but going all in once a white girl also went missing. ("If she's white, put her in the spotlight. If she's black, put her in the back!") May she rest in peace.

The only odd thing about Munker (Muenker?) is she didn't use that name when as Kim on Days. As I recall, at the time Munker filled in for Patsy Pease, she was then going by Arianna Chase. Why the surname change? Who knows. But I recall that actor Charles Grant (Evan Bates, AW; Connor McCabe, Santa Barbara) was known as Charles Flohe early on, so it must be an actor thing...

I know that Deidre Hall and Marlena is the show's Queen Bee, but has she forgotten what acting entails? Like pretending to like certain characters even if she doesn't really like the actors? She tanked a scene with Kristian Alfonso during John's memorial, now this stuff with Maggie. If she cannot act like a professional, maybe it's time Marlena take Julie's Queen of the Never-Ending Cruise crown and ship out? (Pun maybe intended.) As for the whole Jack/Jen stuff with Chad, I still can't believe this is an actual story. Sigh.

I would post the video here, but the language is off the charts by the good citizens of Minnesota. But look up writer Jeff Tiedrich's YouTube account, which is simply Tiedrich, and see how the good people of Lyn Lake, Minnesota came together to drive ICE out.

While I wasn't invested in any of these characters or couples, it's still a jolt. As some have said, this basically wipes out the younger generation altogether. Not a good move. And if TPTB think more Leo or more DiMera nothingness will drive this show, I have news for them: The only place it will be driven is off a proverbial cliff. I think the show is halfway there now since it doesn't usually crack the Top 10 on Peacock these days. The show needs young characters. The show also needs couples to root for! And Brady/Sarah, Leo/Javi as two examples are not it. Do I know the answer? No. But I'm not being paid to have any. Here's looking at the 6,960,124th article on "The Plan To Save Days!", coming soon to the SOD site!

Nothing worth watching, I see. And how long will this ridiculous Sophia/Rachel mess go on? Should have just let Sophia get over Tate. He's not worth it. And Alice Halsey is a good little actress, but I am tired of psycho Rachel. Glad Alice Halsey went on to greener pastures. Anything with Leo and Gwen is a hard pass. Ditto Brady/Sarah, but only because they are the soap equivalent of Nytol. Xander is indeed a mess, but he and Sarah had the chemistry to make watching said mess interesting. (I know B/S (hey, BS! It fits...) weren't featured together, but Brady looked upset, which likely means more of them. Wake me when they implode, please.) On the bright side, no DiMera idiocy. But I'm sure the reprieve is all too temporary. I'm glad Ron is gone, and not everything is a joke now, but now the show just seems dull. Dull pairings, stories that don't move. The pacing needs to be addressed!
