He was but, many are getting paid. Trump benefactors are paying anywhere from $1000 to $5000 to people who interrupt Clinton rallies, especially if they wave certain signs or wear "Bill's a rapist" t-shirts. So, it might've just been a job for him.

 

Arianne Zucker has given an interview to Anderson Cooper.

Actually, they can replace him at any point up until election day. For major party candidates, the name on the ballot is largely irrelevant. People are technically voting for the party's electors in that state, not the candidate themselves. If Trump were to step down (he must step down, the party can't rescind the nomination once it's been awarded), the RNC would choose a new nominee. They don't have to choose Pence or any of the people who were in the primaries. They can choose any registered Republican willing to do it. They could try to distance themselves from Trump by going with someone like Kasich, Romney or Jeb Bush, none of whom ever endorsed him. They would try to change the names on the ballots by election day but, if they can't, it doesn't matter. Any votes cast under Trump's name (like on absentee ballots that have already been sent out) would go to the new Republican nominee.

Rick Springfield made another appearance on tonight's True Detective. His character, a corrupt psychiatrist who does all kinds of unsavory 'favors' for wealthy patients, literally had the snot beat out of him by Colin Farrell's character, who is trying to solve the murder of one of Springfield's clients and a woman he was acquainted with who disappeared without a trace.

Saundra Santiago (Carmen Santos, Guiding Light; Carlotta Vega #2, One Life To Live) also appeared as the mother of Taylor Kitsch's character's pregnant fiancee.

Is that for a TV movie? How did I miss that announcement?

It's a movie called 'Southside with You', a romantic comedy/drama about Michelle and Barack Obama's first date back in 1989. The whole movie is supposed to take place over that one date, kind of like 'Before Sunrise'.

Apparently the show had to cut his hair for the scene and now the clippings are being sold for charity and can be yours for just $750 (there are also signed guitars for $1500, probably a much better deal):

The article has a pic of him in the show's makeup chair and it's pretty obvious that after the pic was taken, they trowled on the orange fake tan makeup that makes him look so odd in the scene.

Tonight's episode of 'True Detective' featured Rick Springfield (Dr. Noah Drake, GH), Jon Lindstrom (Ryan Chamberlin & Kevin Collins, GH), and Ritchie Coster (Nate, Guiding Light).

Springfield played the bizarre therapist to the season's sexual obsession riddled murder victim. His character also has ties to Rachel McAdam's character's cult leader father. The character seems inspired by Rob Lowe's creepy plastic surgeon character from "Behind the Candelabra".

Lindstrom played a legitimate businessman perhaps unwisely playing hardball with Vince Vaughn's gangster-trying-to-go-straight character.

Coster plays the hopelessly drunken mayor of the tiny corrupt city where this is all going down.

I'm very interested to see if the rumors are true about Gwendoline Christie taking up the villain role in Star Wars: Episode VII. She is confirmed to be in it and she'd be fantastic for what the role allegedly entails.

I really hope that the rumor that she is Episode VII's Dark Lord of the Sith is true. She is one of the few women who can totally embody badass without looking like she's straining or playing dress-up.

I didn't even see her name on the list.

I think she deserved a nomination just based on performance. She was barely in this season, but she did some great work. I loved her scene with Margaery where she spoke about her late husband. She thought he was an idiot, but she loved him.

Rigg is nominated in the guest actress in a drama series category.

I really wanted to like it but found it meh. It's not terrible but it's not compelling either. So far, one of the lesser HBO offerings for sure.

The season 4 trailer, which just debuted tonight:

I prefer not to act like an undignified fangirl but OMG, OMG, OMG it looks awesome!

Sorry about that. Carry on.

I do have to agree..I do think that Wheeler cared. Unfortunately she was clueless. Now if we could have had someone who cared with someone who had one little clue....

I never had any doubt that Wheeler was passionate about soaps and GL but her incompetence and overestimation of her ability was just too vast for her good intentions to overcome.

I also agree that, besides throwing Buzzard into the Van/Billy wedding, she gave GL a solid send off. I put GL to "rest," so to speak as it got its heart back, I knew what happened to everyone (who woulda thought we would have had a Reardon reunion ever) and as sappy as it all was, everyone was happy.) I miss ATWT more as it just kinda "ended."

I had a few minor quibbles about the ending too but nothing major. I've put GL to rest for the most part but I do still kinda miss it even at it's worst. If nothing else, bitching about it online could be fun.

I also thought Peapack could have worked, bringing soaps back to what they were in the day, normal people dealing with a hightened reality. People were talking again, etc. I really think if PG had given her a real budget and a real headwriter it would have worked great.

I think the new production model could've worked if done well but they relied too much on Peapack itself and that made Springfield look like Hooterville. That was my biggest problem with it. The exteriors should've only been done when it fit what was going on instead of so many senseless scenes of people having random conversations in parking lots next to port-o-potties, on the side of the road, or on a little league baseball diamond just because they could. The four-walled sets they created were also way too small for handheld cameras to navigate properly.

Though I liked him on GL, I'm somewhat surprised that Frank Grillo (ex-Hart) has gone on to enjoy the success he's had. He's just signed to play the lead in "Navy St.," an original DirecTV series. He'll play the owner of a mixed martial arts studio. Apparently, he's an MMAer himself.

I was a little surprised by his post-GL success at first but he's so much better in these primetime and film projects than he was on GL. He has said that it was Wendy who understood the tone of a soap and could just go with it while he never really could. If you go back to his GL scenes, he was better in his scenes with her than with anyone else.

I'm not sure if this is the right thread for it but it didn't seem to fit anywhere else. Ellen Wheeler recently had a reunion in Peapack with several GL alums: Robert Newman, Jordan Clarke, Michael O'Leary, Beth Chamberlin, Liz Keifer, Frank Dicopulous, Jessica Leccia, Yvonna Wright, Caitlin Van Zandt, Kurt McKinney, Jennifer Roszell, Michelle Ray Smith, Bonnie Dennison, and Tom Pelphrey to discuss a new project. Jill Lorie Hurst is also involved. Wheeler doesn't say as much but it sounds to me like they're trying to put together a GL-like webseries with the serial numbers filed off because P&G owns the trademarks and characters and won't give them up. She also says that there are many other cast members they hope can be involved if this takes off but who weren't at this first meeting. I guess the nostalgia is still strong enough with me that I hope something comes of this even if Wheeler is involved.

Linda Dano was great as Felicia Gallant but Jane Elliot would've kicked major ass too! I'd pay money to see that.

I don't get all the hand-wringing over the exclusion of Jeffrey and Edmund from the final episode. It suited me just fine. Neither of them belonged in it. Neither of them belonged on the final week either. Or the final six months. Nor did either deserve anything that might be construed as a happy ending.

Neither of them ever really belonged on the show at all. Way too much time over the last ten years was wasted on the the San Cristobel vortex-of-suck: Richard, Cassie, Edmund, Alonzo, Jeffrey, Jonathan, Will, etc. Ugh. And it all sucked. That crap wasted so much precious time. And so many real characters, families, and stories were ignored and thrown overboard to make room for their meaningless, unconnected garbage. Edmund should've been forgotten about at least five years ago and Jeffrey never should've existed at all and while I resent the hell out of the fact that so much time over the last few months was wasted on them, I kind of appreciate the ironic justice in GL being too busy in the final episode dealing with Josh & Reva, Phillip & Beth, Rick & Mindy, and several other real characters to bother with Edmund & Jeffrey so they were the ones who finally got ignored.
