I remember him! (Thanks - as always - for the shout out! That episode actually gave the late Charles Hallahan [Capt. Devane] a pretty decent-sized story.)

Yep. As I said, I mixed up the networks. And edited my original post.

I knew there was another one besides "Lipstick Jungle" but could not remember the title! So I did a Google search and...voila! The show, "Cashmere Mafia", debuted the same year as "Lipstick Jungle"! It was actually "Cashmere Mafia" that was on ABC per Google. "Lipstick Jungle" was on NBC. My bad. While this was not a clone of SATC, I also recall the short-lived series, "Eastwick", based on "The Witches of Eastwick", that involved three women who were enthralled by a debonair guy who just happened to be the devil. (In the movie, he was played by Jack Nicholson! On the short-lived ABC series, Paul Gross of "Due South" fame played the role! Jaime Ray Newman, ex-Kristina Sr., GH, played one of those three women.) Will edit my other post, just for completeness' sake!

"Lipstick Jungle" on NBC was the obvious broadcast TV answer to HBO's "Sex and The City". And "Lipstick Jungle", if I recall, was the title of a book by Candace Bushnell...who was the one to write about "Sex and The City" before it became a TV series. (I believe Carrie Bradshaw was the Candace Bushnell surrogate in the TV show. Even the same initials.) Full circle, as it were.

As one that never really got into the backstage drama at GH (save for Patrick Mulcahey exiting, damn it...sigh!), I have to say Frank Valentini looked ill last night. Maybe I'm wrong, but something was definitely off. On another topic, I am thrilled for Dick Van Dyke and his win! With that said, what I am about to say will be controversial as I think he won because...well, he is a legend, and had less to do with Days' writing itself. It occurred to me that with the exception of that win, the show was shut out again. I will be controversial and say that while camp can be fun, it obviously doesn't win awards. And with Ron back, I fear that will continue. Wondering if the new hire will balance Ron's love of silliness with some gravitas? Not saying the show needs to be a History Channel documentary, but the show has never escaped its reputation as a lightweight once JER started with possessions and such, and Ron seems content to keep that going. Seeing 1960s/'70s/even early '80s Days clips next to current day, it almost seemed like another show altogether.

And in other dumbass MAGA idiocy, Greta van Susteren, she who is so bereft of any integrity that even Faux Noise dispensed of her (she apparently is at (Not)Newsmax now!), was almost orgasmic regarding the jury nullification that wasn't. Thankfully, TwitX was quick to burst her bubble, including Adam Kinzinger.

Janis Paige was too young to play the mother of Nicolas Coster, but in a vacuum, she did do a great job in putting her spin on the role of Minx. May Janice Paige rest in peace.

Just coming to post about Janis Paige, myself! While I am one of those that thought Paige was too young to play Minx, she did a great job with what she had. And to live to 101 is fortunate, indeed! May she rest in peace.

Well, this certainly explains the Fauci dragging hit piece on WaPo. What a downfall of a once-great paper.

Wow. All this talk about Martha Byrne's husband made me curious, so I did a Google dive. I guess it is on brand for Martha to defend Dump, considering hubby was working for the freaking Chinese government! I had no idea he was in such deep doo doo. From what I read, he has yet to be sentenced but faces 20 years in prison. All I ever recalled from the soap mags was he was a cop. So much for that. Bye bye!

Ron's reliance on old tropes and campiness by the truckload, will again make the show a joke. A little camp is fine, but Ron has never learned that less is more.

From your lips (keyboard?) to the voters' minds/ears...

Guilty on ALL 34 COUNTS. It's GLORIOUS. TwitX is melting down as we laugh. And just for posterity, Martha Byrne can kindly STFU and take a stadium of seats.

Great episode! 😊 I continue to feel seen. LOL! Thanks for another shout out!

They must have hung on to this idea for a bit. I recall seeing a clip from 1982 with Catherine Mary Stewart's Kayla telling someone - I think it may have been Marlena? - about her absent brother Marcus. Obviously, by the time he showed up in 1983, he was Beauregard/Bo. Although someone must have liked the name Marcus, since the character of Marcus Hunter did come later on...

Never even heard of this referenced! Great find. Makes me curious how many more pilots like this are floating around somewhere...

See if your favorites made the list:

I read that Lane was on elsewhere, too. I was going to watch LD/NLG [they always deliver!], but with the recent news, I don't want to invest just to have the proverbial rug pulled out from under me here, so I'll just read and smile. (Mega Mason/Julia fan that I am/was.)

Rebecca Schull always seemed older to me. Was reminded of her last week when I saw her on a Law & Order: Criminal Intent repeat. And even then - circa 2004 - she seemed older. But I'm glad she is still around and still acting!

Gen X, represent! 😛

Cool clip. Thanks! The fact this occurred on my 7th birthday just makes me feel very old, though. LOL!

Well, that didn't last long. But if Korte is sole HW, get ready for A LOT more Carly.

Orange Yam Criminal spanked by a porn star - in and out of court. Brain worms. Brain f-u-c-k-i-n-g worms inside a crazy, gravel-voiced spawn of a beloved fallen hero. Poor worm probably starved to death from lack of food. THESE are the alternatives to President Joe Biden. But hey, sure! Let's give either of the former two the nuclear codes! What. The F*CK.

Nancy Lee Grahn will be reuniting [again!] with Lane Davies on General Hospital.

I hate this. I love this! I haven't watched GH in an eternity. I am/was a Mason/Julia uberfan! And I loved the potential of Cameron/Alexis, but Guza wrecked that. I don't want to watch GH again, damn it! But now I may have to. Hey, if Michael Easton and Roger Howarth can play multiple characters, so can freakin' Lane Davies! With Patrick Mulcahey being responsible for so much M/J goodness on SB, this intrigues me.
