I found this thread just to see what had been posted about Morales. I never watched The Talk regularly, and because I loved World Turns it always naturally rubbed me the wrong way. I remember seeing a clip of the show a few months in or 6 months or a year in or something and they outwardly were talking about their improved ratings in the timeslot for CBS. I wanted to throw things at my TV when I saw and heard that. Like, don't talk about how you're doing against the other networks, they made it a POINT to talk about how they were improved over the show that got cancelled on their OWN network. Your own network isn't really your competition if you're winning your timeslot. I hate The Talk.

And really love Cannons right now...reminds me of someone and I can't figure out who...almost a Stevie Nicks vibe except she can sing (sorry, I love Stevie but she's not the greatest vocalist)...this one is almost an old-school Fleetwood Mac kind of thing...although I shouldn't say Stevie can't sing, because of course this is Nasa engineered like everything today...

Still really like them...

Well I shouldn't have put it that way but I meant those not in demographics they even track because we don't count - the elderly over 54 crowd, the ones who are bedridden and unable to change the channel.

I was talking to my sister today and she asked if I had seen B&B, and I said just reading about it. Without prompting she said, it is SO STUPID. I said, yeah, I've been reading. hahahaha. I noticed the ratings posted and saw...wow, GH is almost up to B&B in demos or right at them, and has like 500K less (or even less) total viewers. Pretty terrible. The 18-49W and 25-54W aren't watching B&B. The show has always skewed older since day 1, but now it's really glaring. They have to get the geriatric over 54 viewers because no one else is watching...and it's looking like they're tuning out also. You'd think they'd figure it out.

Love them, another with the top down favorite 🙂

I swear I remember instances of the time differences happening on ATWT. I remember people being at the office late working and in other places it was mid-day at the Snyder farm with people milling about or at Fashions talking about going to lunch or something.

I was just reading through threads I normally wouldn't pay attention to, but this one interested me. I would have said exactly that. My Mom was a lifelong SFT viewer and had fallen off a little with SFT on CBS but she never even knew it went to NBC. I remember (I was young, like 10 or 11) and telling her that SFT was going off the air, and wouldn't she like to see the final episode? I happened to be home from school I think for some reason and I remember turning it on for her. She thought it had been cancelled when it disappeared from CBS. I think a lot of people who had been fans didn't follow it to NBC. Similar to Edge of Night moving to ABC.

I had an Italian in me a few times and he made me a Soprano, not a Tenor.

Well one thing is that when I saw this whole storyline being talked about - I am not the one to call racism or play a race card. In fact I'm a bad Democrat because of that. Sometimes I'm one to think twice and look at all angles before I agree or disagree with whether something is racist. But I listen to what people have to say. In this case, I didn't need to read other people's opinions on it. It made me feel uncomfortable from just reading about it. I feel like it's a bone to throw to black characters at the very very least, and the more obvious thing to me is what it is and what it looks like. It reminds me somewhat of a mutual friend I have with someone. Went to her house and she had a collection of mammy dolls. Now, I know. I know that some are made by black women or craftspeople who are black and they're proud of it and see it as an art. But there's something about a Southern white woman collecting them that bothers me. It just does. I don't know why, but it does. Reading about this storyline makes me feel like that. And last, Carter is probably the most handsome man on Daytime. I'd put him up there and I've said it before. Ok, Rena is very pretty (Quinn). Ok. But we've spent years now that Carter isn't noticed basically and plays 2nd fiddle to the white guys...he has. It's happened. It happened with Maya picking Rick...black woman picking the rich white guy. I mean, I'm not calling that racist at all - but it happened. Now we have a really handsome black man (STILL) who apparently can't get a date so he takes up with his rich white boss's woman. Now, rich white guy has given him "permission", like he owns him or something. So....it looks like what it looks like to me.

I wondered what had happened since the other day. I'm just reading through the threads and I have to say, I'd have to walk if I were John McCook. Would have to have the heart to heart with Bell and my coworkers - I hope he doesn't need the money at this stage and took care of his finances, but I'd have to have the talk. I understand you have families and need to work and enjoy this or whatever reasons, but I'm not a young man and I don't want to be remembered for this. It's one thing to be asked to play a possession or a clone or whatever but it's another to try and make a storyline out of an old man who can't get it up and pimps his wife out willingly to get her satisfied. There is just something so gross and vile about this. Maybe they could have Wyatt if he's still the social media expert, suggest his Mom wear something from Brooke's Bedroom Line, bring that back, and film her while boinking Carter and accidentally post it to a nice seedy website - like Please Bang my Wife or something. That would be great. I feel like they've gone there. It's just so gross. I'd have more pride than that. I've all but quit and found a new job for less than this. I would not be embarrassed like this. Who knows, maybe they all like it. I would not.

Good Lord....I just turned it on for 2 minutes. Brooke and Ridge concerned for Eric and his marriage. I really did see a conversation between Wyatt, Quinn and Carter. Carter saying that Quinn is doing everything she can for her marriage. Quinn explaining Eric needed to see her happy and she needing to give him what he needs. Change channel...what utter trash. I can't even. No words.

Thank you for posting this picture! I'd never seen it. What a great group of actresses...I loved every Blake. I still think maybe the most successful re-casted role in all of daytime, for the number we had. I loved Dennehy (sp?)....during the time Glenn Close was so popular, it was like you were watching her sister on Guiding Light.

That's her. I could have googled it...I really don't remember much of her as Dinah, but that's her. I know she went on to a lot of other things and was popular.

I think the best recasts could be Christina/Blake on Guiding Light. I think all 3 adult Blake's were great. I also think McKinsey will always be the best Alexandra, but you know Marj Dusay and Joan Collins were really good. I also liked Peter Simon as Ed, and Ron Raines as Alan. For recasts, GL did pretty well over the years. Laura Wright would always be the best Cassie but Forrester did OK. The Mindy's, ditto - I liked Krista Tesreau but the Kimberly Simms and Barbara Crampton were fine in the role for me. Ann Hamilton not. Maureen I thought was Ellen Dolan until Ellen Parker took over the role...EP was better. Oh and as someone mentioned, Wendy Moniz was Dinah to me...but Gina Tognoni was also very very good. The previous Dinah...can't remember her name but went on to other shows, but I don't remember her as great as Dinah. I know a lot of people had issues with Nancy Alban as Michelle but to me I thought she was much closer to the way Rachel Miner would have played an adult Michelle.

I'm just reading this...did that really happen? I posted something like that 2 weeks ago or something. Bad Santa/Sean Connery "shatishfying my wife..." I just can't believe that if it happened...I should know not to make jokes like that. It'll probably happen...

I hadn’t commented on the opinion of the NY fans being the worst. I didn’t think so. Now I do. All the extra yelling during serves was just enough for me - so ghetto terrible. Yell a little OK. But it was over the top and obnoxious. Just gross. I can’t imagine paying that amount of money and acting like that no matter who I wanted.

Sounds riveting.

Yep. And 99.9% of the time, the neck/decollatege (sp?)...why turtle necks become your best friend.

I don't know if this is meant to be just daytime, but Joan Van Ark. When she was young she had a simple, natural look and beauty. Girl next door, pretty. Then went way overboard. In a Kim Novak kind of way, not quite as extreme but close. (Not totally on topic but in Kim's case, and kind of Joan's, you wouldn't even know they were the same person as when they were young....at least I can say with Hunter T., and Lisa R., they have gone overboard but I can probably recognize them as the same person, had you not seen it all happen on screen over the years. In Kim and Joan's case, if you hadn't been watching along over the years, I think you may not know they were the same people).

This whole Open has been a total surprise (I thought for me, but it looks like everyone now)...I think we're going to look back at this Open as when the new guard popped up and at the beginning we didn't see it...and now we are. It really has been a total blast and surprise that came from no where. I thought every Slam this year was total blah. The Olympics were blah. This has not been blah. And this would be awesome but kill me because I want them both to win now. Either would be great but I'd somehow want both.

I heard Delpo's voice last night and my heart fluttered. LOL. Kind of a favorite of mine over the years, I'm near DC and saw him in the DC tournament two of the years he won. He's kind of a throwback player and I would love to see him come back successfully and at least be in the mix in some major tournaments. He sounded really positive. He would make a nice husband for me.

I'm impressed with Fernandez...I keep expecting that she'll wane and lose. I still can't get the thought out of my head that this is just a flash in the pan. At some point you have to think it's real. You can't take out players at this level repeatedly and go on to be a nobody. They're not having bad matches or playing badly. They've been playing like they play and she's just beating them. The guts of some of her shots at the right times have been unreal, the thing you can't teach. She's my hope for the winner on the women's side. I just really really don't want Bencic. But I don't think Raducanu is going to beat her. I feel like I'm on eggshells because it looks like a US Open win for Bencic right now.

I'm happily surprised - I don't know whether it will hold or not, but I'm kind of shocked that Fernandez is in this match, just checked the score. I really thought she would get blown off the court.
