I am just gutted. Heartbroken. Devastated. There are no words. She was MY Tina. She was MY Rebecca. She was just so dang good at what she did. I just can't believe it. What a loss. I feel a classic OLTL rewatch coming on though I am sure I'll cry every time Tina comes on screen for a while. Rest in peace, my lovely Andrea.

^^ I met Greg Vaughan once. He's every bit as luscious in person as you would imagine! It was truly all I could do not to faint lol

And these are the people I have not met that I'd struggle not to pass out in front of if we met:

Hunter King

Cameron Mathison

Shemar Moore

Bryton McClure

And I will catch hell for saying this but ... Lisa Rinna! lol

Happy 48th birthday to a show ahead of its time: Ryan's Hope!!

I love that!! That show was DRAMA. Just loved it.

If the channel had subtitles, I would have been all over this. What a shame!

I think my absolute favorite classic telenovela was La Dueña. Have any of you seen that one? OMG, it was amazing, and the villainess Laura was everything I want in a soap bad girl. Cynthia Klitbo was a revelation!!

Yes, Toadie's gal is Sonya. Love them together!! As for Ashleigh Brewer, I find Kate a bit more insufferable in comparison to Ivy. I don't know why. I think it's just how she comes across in her portrayal.

And the reason behind Karl & Susan's split is discussed down the line, but, in short, perJackie Woodburne in September of 2011: 

“This time there isn’t a younger woman involved which makes a nice change,” she explains. “It’s off the back of Susan’s involvement with ‘Jim Dolan’ who was the cancer patient that she got overly-attached to but who died.

“It’s all about empty-nest syndrome because the kids are all gone. Who is she if she’s not a mother and a carer? So it’s about her moving away to find out who she is as a single-person without people to look after.”

Thank you for posting that. I appreciate it. And now Rhys is getting interesting with the trying to get into the surgery program at any cost. I am getting quite invested in the show already. Toadie and Sonya are great!! I like Jade, but I did hear she isn't around for much longer.

This was a different story for the show:

I started with 2012, just because. I am liking it mostly. It is a bit slow moving so far, but I really like the Kate character. Perhaps because I recognize Ashleigh Brewer from B&B. I know Ivy wasn't well-liked on Bold, but she was okay by me. Toadie is another character I like. I like his gal as well. Sonya, I think her name is. Rhys is really handsome. Kind of dull, but handsome. 

Chris is a fun character. I like his friendship with Summer. I recognize "Aidan" from The 100. Can anyone explain why Karl and Susan are separating?

I am going to start watching Neighbours since I have Prime, and it sounds very good. Is 2012 the best year to start with?

I have a Twitter account, but I still can't read any tweets over there. I get the rate limited message. Elon is indeed a hot mess. 

The heroine-dying breed as soaps moved towards making the vixen the lead. A good heroine may be slightly naive but not so dumb as to lose audience sympathy

Abby on Days was a good heroine... but they killed her off.

Carly's you know what must be lined with cashmere to make all these men lose their sense over her. 

An early episode.

She wasn't believed to be dead, though.

I thought she was believed to be dead in a carjacking?? They had a funeral for her.

Daniel/Kyle? Now that I would go for!

^^ That makes sense. Thank you :)

This hurts A LOT. Bobbie was such a great character. She anchored the show in so many ways. I was not expecting this. I am really upset. RIP Jackie. GH will not be the same without you!! I hope people are a little kinder after seeing this news. We never know what battles people are facing.

Yeah, I don't know what's happening with this show, but I do know one thing:

It's not good. 

This. It's pretty unwatchable at this point.

Rick was great as Matt. I loved that storyline despite its darkness. I really hope it's not Cameron, but Sharon having a story means I'll take what I can get.

Is it me or does Michael Graziadei's performances not seem as sincere and deep as they used to be? He seems almost comical in some of them. I am not buying Daniel's grief, confusion and turmoil like I am Summer's. It's weird to say because "The Graz" used to be one of my favorite actors back in the day.

I love Audra stirring the pot.

Controversial?? Hmmm That could mean so many things.

Why does Jumbo Mariano call Jack "Giovanni Batista" at 15:10? I am sure there's an easy answer to this, but humor me please & thank you

The Sharon/Mariah scene was great! I even liked the Chelsea/Adam/Connor scene. The show seems a little more watchable to me lately. At least compared to last year.

Sally is just Sage all over again to me. It's the same storyline basically but feels more incestuous.

Elena should hook up with JT. It would be surprising & shake things up.

Chance & Summer need to screw.

I hope Matt Clark is returning!!! But I bet it's Cameron because of the Susan Walter's connection.

James Patrick Stuart's acting today... good lord. Give that man a Razzie & call it a day.

SBu is going to eat this show alive.

Took the survey. Looking forward to the results.
