Must have been a glitch, because comments are back/loading and the scathing ones are still there. (Good.)

I'd wish for Santa Barbara, but I know that will never happen for a host of reasons. If not that, I'd love to see Days of Our Lives, from the '60s (before my time) until the early '90s. Considering what Ron Carlivati has done to it, I'd like to remember when the show was worth watching.

It was a minor role, but K Callan also appeared in the episode "Rich Girl" on Hunter in Season 2, all the way back in 1985 as lawyer Mrs. Jorgensen (no first name given), and mother to her own secretary, played by none other than a young Tonja Walker as Claire Jorgensen (who was more than happy to flirt with Hunter) and played into busting the perp, played by yet another soap-connected actress, Dorian LoPinto! Just figured I'd add this for all of the soapy connections.

UGH. Whether Stacy Haiduk or Eileen Davidson, Kristen is PLAYED OUT.

And nothing continues to happen. Meanwhile, 2022 approaches...

Jesus...

Of note in that ruling, the DOJ has until Tuesday to respond to that court. So I guess it is a temporary stay, but I do not hold out much hope. Unless the "Supreme" Court stops the shadow docket BS and take some sort of position. Which is probably why they will hear a similar case in Mississippi this December.

The 5th circuit has reinstated the Texas abortion ban. Surprise, surprise. NOT. The 5th circuit is the GQP on steroids.

Sorry, but Brenda kissed another man (and her fiance's hated rival, at that!) just before her wedding. I don't feel sorry that Jax dropped her. (But I'm sort of mad at defending Jax here, considering how turned off I am by IR now. Oh, well!)

And, per Wiki, he was on the 12th season of America's Got Talent as...a singing Trump impersonator (and eliminated in the quarterfinals). Umm...yeah.

Elon Musk, narcissist extraordinaire, is moving the Tesla HQ from Cali to Texas, because he has the madz over Cali's COVID restrictions. https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2021/10/07/musk-tesla-texas/

Surprise, surprise. And, as I said, you just know the other Trump scum will ignore the subpoenas and Dems will STILL want to color in the lines. Get the damned Sergeant at Arms to haul these wastes of skin IN. Fight, for God's sake.

One edit: The headline I saw said the GOP Senate voted against the debt ceiling. Other news sources now have it still in talks. But the rest of the sucktastic news stands.

Let's see, today's news dump: Quinnipiac has Biden's approval at 38%. 😮 AT&T is funding One America News Democrats have a voter registration problem per NBC News Glenn Youngkin is gaining on Terry McAuliffe in VA governor polls And Republicans have voted against raising the debt ceiling again. What a "great" day.

If ANYTHING requires support from those two DINOs, forget it. It's already toast. Not just pessimism, but knowing their record/history thus far of obstruction...

Maybe it was always meant to be a limited, short-term role.

Technically, yes. Although it was mentioned during Gordon Thomson's tenure and tied in to his proposing to Julia again. (Julia had Mason kidnapped to Las Vegas and some strange woman showed up to Mason's hotel room, claiming to have married Mason [when he was Sonny]. LONG story. Played for humor.)

@Vee, I wish I had your confidence that these bills will pass. The longer the tug-of-war goes on, the more jaded I become. Guess we'll just have to wait and see how this all shakes out.

Who was played by Terry Lester, a.k.a. Mason Capwell #2. Funny how that works.

Well, "helping" Eden and Cruz also involved more money or something, if I remember right, or some bonus in CC's will or whanot. As much as I liked Mason, that made it make more sense.

UGH, Tori. Hated her. From beginning to end. All she really existed as was a foil. Maybe had the writers not made her a rapist (Cruz) and drug-addicted shrew and gave her a bit more of a backbone, I could have warmed to her. As it was, though, I did not miss Kristen Meadows once she left the show.

Can't picture it at all. Dylan may have been eye candy, but I think Julia needed someone that stimulated her intellectually as well as physically and emotionally. For that reason alone, Mason really was a great match for her. (Yeah, I have a bias, but I also think it's true that Julia needed someone as intelligent as she was. And yes, maybe a bit as neurotic/messed up. LOL!)

I'm where you're at.

How ironic, seeing Christopher Allport. Just saw him on a Hunter repeat last night! (Shame how he died so young.) He played a lot of shady guys but was good at it. (Although the Hunter role was sympathetic.) To add another soap connection here, Tasia Valenza (ex-Dottie, AMC) also appeared in the episode, "Playing God".

Chris Noth is a regular on The Equalizer with Queen Latifah and is also part of the Sex And The City revival, And Just Like That. So he may not be available.
