NBC can do what it likes. Millions - right or wrong - also visit Twitter, and the real explanation was clarified. So...whatever. I have HOPE for once in 3.5 long years.

Soap Hoppers: The Soap Actors And Roles Thread
Recognized Mr. Tigar immediately from both Original Law & Order and Law & Order: Criminal Intent roles, too! (Hence the blurb, no doubt, referencing numerous episodics.) His face just seems memorable, is all.

This is where I'm at, and it pains me to say so as a woman myself. But let's face it: Geraldine Ferraro didn't work in 1984 for Walter Mondale, Sarah Palin most definitely sunk McCain [but I completely understand THAT!], and Hillary's presidential bid went splat. Seems voters don't mind women as Senators or members of the House or even leading it (Hi, Nancy Pelosi!) But there seems to be historic pushback whenever a woman dares to aim even higher. While I am glad that Joe Biden committed to picking a woman as VP, a part of me is very worried that very act may have just given us Trump again for another 4 years, killing the nation. Sexism - like racism - is real in the US and sadly still prevalent. I pray I'm wrong this time!

Scores of kids that went to a camp in Georgia have tested positive for COVID, per NBC News. Apparently, only the staff- not the kids - wore masks. They also did not follow CDC guidelines at the camp by keeping windows open for ventilation. Well, behold the results. So much for the assertion by Betsy DeVos that kids can't get the virus.

Considering the thread, I think this belongs here as well as the Politics thread. A new ad from The Lincoln Project. And this one is not funny. Or snarky. It is, however, chilling:

Trump's tweetstorm yesterday certainly didn't sound like he took it as a win. Because it wasn't. And most agree. So don't let the spin by a few get you down.

With 120,000+ dead and climbing, the Trump Administration is urging the Supreme Court to strike down the ACA (Obamacare) entirely. Republicans are making the fabled death panels a reality! https://twitter.com/i/events/1276361569341849601 The Supreme Court is expected to decide this in the next term (October).

Racism and racial representation on soaps
Wonder what Stephanie Cameron is up to these days... Didn't like her version of Jennifer at the time, but I'm willing to reevaluate.

I think this ad says it all:- Primetime Soaps
The successor to the time slot for "The Yellow Rose" was "Hunter". And even though that was a "Dirty Harry" Lite show to start with, I think it was around that era that even "regular" dramas like this one began using soap elements. In the case of "Hunter", a running arc in S1 about his being the black sheep of being related to the mob, Dee Dee's rape in S2. Soap story telling were not just for the "soaps" themselves by the 1980s, and that formula holds today. Maybe it's why fewer need to watch daytime soaps. Prime time uses the elements and people still get their fill. - The Politics Thread
