Wow, this literally surprised me! SO happy about this. I just pray Bo is not a figment of someone's imagination or a ghost. The downside of this is Bo likely having to kiss some serial killer ass. But I'm still happy.

Putting this video here as, let's face it, his videos are mainly very political. Seems CBS Sunday Morning interviewed Randy Rainbow earlier this month! And i was surprised to learn - as I'm sure others were - that his name really is Randy Rainbow, since birth! Great interview. Enjoy!

We're being punked. Right? RIGHT?!

Always knew Deidre Hall did Our House on NBC in the '80s, but apparently, she also guest starred on the much gritter CBS show, Wiseguy, in the little-seen (due to copyright)"Dead Dog Records" arc. In this episode, bunches of actual musicians also appeared, including Deborah Harry, Glenn Frey, and Mick Fleetwood, and the legend of Rocky Horror himself, Tim Curry, also appeared:

My whole thing in that statement is the discussion of background checks, etc. Did Musk fail it?! And why?

I have no idea how these things work or if Elon Musk would have the kind of pull, but maybe Musk was open to letting right-wingers that were banned, i.e. Trump, back onto the platform, and the rest were all, "Hell no, not happening!" or whatever... (Or, most likely, the above had zip to do with any of it. LOL!)

Projection, the GQP way.

I realize the Daytime Emmys are not just about soaps, but that portion seems so sad now, what with only 4 soaps left. I guess the streaming soaps could be nominated, too, haven't paid attention. But the prestige seems to have bolted. I'd say around '99, when Susan Lucci finally nabbed her Emmy, then ratings dropped, since people no longer felt they had to see if she would win or lose again or whatever, maybe?

Love this tweet, too: And...

Awww, I guess Kristian Alfonso caught up with Bill and Susan Seaforth Hayes not long ago. And other former/current soap stars (Lauren Koslow, Lauralee Bell, Mary Beth Evans, Lisa Rinna) all commented, too. https://www.instagram.com/p/Car_RKOFkw1/ Great picture!

I wish the jab would be enough to end the SaRenee schitt, but if Anna gets arrested, "Renée" probably presses charges or some garbage. I am so over this mess.

In memory of Taylor Hawkins:

Yeah, the Taylor Hawkins news hurts. I have always loved the Foos, and will also be turning 50 later this year. So that is an extra sting. My sympathy goes out to Hawkins' wife and kids, of course. But I cannot imagine what Dave Grohl must be feeling right now. I know they were close. Not to mention he has gone through this before with Kurt Cobain in his Nirvana days. May Taylor Hawkins rest in peace. Such a loss.

Is the grass green?

I have no idea if this is true, but a Wiki page (I think that is where I read it?) said John Ritter chose Mary Cadorette himself, as he supposedly felt a connection with her. I also recall reading somewhere that Joyce DeWitt was allegedly hurt by the spinoff (I can't remember why; maybe she thought Janet and Jack should have ended up together?).

Also, well before the second failed spinoff of Three's A Crowd in 1984, Three's Company also introduced the first failed spinoff, The Ropers around 1979 or so (which airs on the Three's Company channel on Pluto TV, as does Three's A Crowd!). Of course, it is well known that Norman Fell and Audra Lindley got screwed by this spinoff. I read Norman Fell did not even want to do it, but ABC had promised him that if the spinoff failed, that he and Audra Lindley could return to Three's Company. But then TPTB hired Don Knotts as Ralph Furley, who was a hit, and the producers basically kicked Fell and Lindley to the curb following the cancellation of The Ropers.

And ever so happily last night, ABC News was discussing the possibility of World War III - said outright! - should any future negotiations between Ukraine and Russia fail. I get being cautious, but damn it, someone needs to handle Putin and his lackeys. How long will this madman hold Ukraine and, by extension, the world hostage?

Except GV/Eric will also be 50 as of next year, so Brady/Eric are practically peers.

Well, as you know, we are complete opposites in that I loved John/Isabella, so I was thrilled with their having a baby. And, really? Marlena had great loves besides John, so John also loving another woman makes things relatively equal. So there's one way to look at it, even if one is not fond of Isabella, maybe?

Also, from what I recall reading, Trapper John, M.D. was said to be a continuation of Trapper from the M*A*S*H movie, with Elliott Gould's version, not Wayne Rogers', so that makes it a bit more complicated there. I think - in an episode snippet I recall seeing on YT - Parnell Roberts' version of Trapper had fallen asleep at the hospital, and grainy images of the film were used as he dreamed of his past in the war, so...

And this is a big reason why soaps are [!@#$%^&*]: Arrogant writers that do not believe it is important to please the audience. And since the AUDIENCE watches the show, it's a big problem.

This thread makes me feel like I should join AARP. (Born in 1972. And yes, THAT birthday is upon me later this year. UGH.)

Yes, all of this.

I swear, if you see old episodes/clips of Days from maybe mid '70s to early '90s, it may as well have been another soap entirely.
