Santa Barbara Discussion Thread
Much different show, but the "junior or everything after" deal with a not first-born son also happened on ER with Carter's family. His grandfather was John Carter, Sr., his father Jack was John Carter II (played by Michael Gross, who did resemble TV son Noah Wyle, so great casting there!), and Carter was John Carter III. BUT Carter mentioned deciding to become a doctor because his OLDER brother, Bobby, died of leukemia as a child (causing his parents' divorce). Like you, I'd think Bobby should have been John Carter III, instead. Shrug. To connect this to Santa Barbara, Scott Jaeck, who played Cain, played Dr. Flint, head of radiology, in a recurring role in the first couple seasons.

At 1:06:19 (which I think I set the start at correctly, I hope!), Hollywood Graveyard features the final resting place of Michael David Morrison, the original Caleb Snyder, if anyone wants to see it. He is buried in Louisiana.

YAY, GILEAD! But her e-mails!!!! To all those non-voters and those that voted for Jill Stein, or those that "held their nose" and voted for Dump because Hillary wasn't "likable", how do you like the results?! ETA: I read barricades are going up around the Supreme Court.

DAYS: Actress cast in series regular role
I think the last time that was tried was with the Hernandez crew. The only success there seems to be Gabi. (Rafe seems to exist to this day because TPTB like Galen Gering or something!)

So Maddie may be gay after all. Yawn. Who didn't guess by now?

All: character may be killed off
Well, why not do that NOW then? I mean, there must be tons of aspiring actresses in California looking for their big break. This random killing of "big" characters is NEVER thought out. See the return of Bo as further proof. There is no reason to do this except Ron wants to use shock and awe. And NBC should also know better by now. The last graphic death with Frankie Frame on AW helped to put another nail in the coffin of that soap. Or maybe that's the whole point...

Yes. He seems to try way too hard. But then we have Lindsey Graham, so in all seriousness, even if he was, that wouldn't/shouldn't be an issue. But then, both are in a party that wants to send the gay community back to the 1950s, so I can only assume they hate themselves. (Well, Lindsey. Not sure if Cawthorn really is gay or bi. But it wouldn't surprise me.)

It's red North Carolina. I rule NOTHING out. See 2016 and Trump. People just don't care anymore.

The Media/Journalism Thread
So I see on Twitter that ol' Elon is already harassing employees and accusing the lawyer for the company of being involved with fraud or something. So the sewage is already beginning. The Twitter God must have heard my rant about the data because I got the download notice a minute ago. Downloading it as I type. Once it's done, so am I with Twitter, which both makes me relieved and yet sad that it has come to this. But when it heads into the toxic abyss and hopefully suffers the same fate as MySpace, at least I know I won't be there to be a part of it all.

How long does it take for the freaking Twitter data to be ready for download? I put in for the request days ago. I REALLY just want the data so I can deactivate for good. Because I just know Twitter will be a cesspool come fall.

Thanks! Just put in for the request but may have to wait 24 hours to download. But once I do, I'm gone.

All I did was click deactivate. Apparently, there is a 30-day window to change one's mind...

And with this news, I have officially deactivated my account. Have no desire to see Dump or any right-wing POS spouting their BS.

Early Hope had a higher voice, too. Makes me wonder if she took voice modulation lessons or something. Or maybe smoking played a role? Either way, it does seem different.- DAYS: Behind the Scenes, Articles/Photos
- Looking back...Primetime Ratings from the 80's
Wow, no wonder Hunter was almost cancelled in its first season! Kind of shocking to see it in 66th place! (It was on opposite Dallas on Fridays, though it had premiered in September on a Tuesday.) I recall reading about how someone showed Brandon Tartikoff the upcoming 2-parter, "The Snow Queen" (with Dennis Franz as a dirty cop in the guest cast), and that was when he made the decision to wait on axing the show and wait for another night to open up to give the show another chance. Exit a show called Hot Pursuit (starring Eric Pierpoint, probably better known from Alien Nation and as Rita's last steady boyfriend, Eric Russell, before she and Chris got together on Silk Stalkings), which bombed, then the 9 p.m. show, Partners In Crime with Lynda Carter and Loni Anderson, was moved to an hour later when Hot Pursuit fizzled; that did no better, and finally, Hunter was moved to Saturday nights at 10, and the rest is history. That was the beginning of the turnaround for NBC on Saturday nights. Once The Golden Girls premiered the following season, NBC saw its fortunes massively improve...- The Spin Off Thread
She was also on the short-lived political comedy, The Powers That Be, with John Forsythe and a pre-Frasier David Hyde Pierce, who played her suicidal hubby. (Yes, it was a comedy.) Mahaffey also recurred on Wings as crazy Sandy Cooper, who would act cuckoo for cocoa puffs whenever she was alone with Joe Hackett, but act normal around everyone else, so no one believed Joe when he would say Sandy was crazy. If I recall, toward the latter half, Helen finally did see Sandy at her nuttiest, too. And as for Teri Garr, I don't know about the other '90s projects she was in, as I never watched those, but she was inspired as Phoebe and Ursula's biological mother on Friends, also named Phoebe. She and Lisa Kudrow looked and acted so much alike...- ARTICLE: Peacock Orders Second Chapter of ‘Days of our Lives: Beyond Salem,’ Kristian Alfonso and Peter Reckell to Reprise Roles
I could see this if not for Susan Seaforth Hayes' tweet about the kids being in trouble, etc. Makes me wonder if Doug and Julie will be involved. The wording doesn't sound like a dream. But with Ron, who the hell knows?- ARTICLE: Peacock Orders Second Chapter of ‘Days of our Lives: Beyond Salem,’ Kristian Alfonso and Peter Reckell to Reprise Roles
So start with Gwen or some other rando, not Bo Brady. Right. Didn't some AMC character even see Jesse as an angel? And we see how that went, too. (And I was happy about that reversal, too.) Yes, soaps used to have some reality. But those days - pardon the pun - are gone. If one wants to re-introduce reality, as I said, use the billion extraneous characters the show has, not the beloved classic characters. - ARTICLE: Peacock Orders Second Chapter of ‘Days of our Lives: Beyond Salem,’ Kristian Alfonso and Peter Reckell to Reprise Roles
