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.

Perfect riding with the top down in my convertible song. 🙂

I was rooting for Jack...nice guy. A friend of mine dated him briefly several years ago. I was messaging with her last night (she had no idea who he was at the time), she's not into sports at all. She didn't even know he really was a tennis player at the time, and doesn't follow tennis at all. She said, wow, I could have been rich! I said, well no...a lot of tennis players, most really are not rich. But anyway, had hoped he would win another round.

The Alca match was unreal...I said to some friends while we were watching, I've never ever seen someone with touch like this repeatedly/consistently. I've seen players that have it, but his drop shots are second to none of anyone I've ever seen. Already. Who knows if he'll hold on to that as he ages, but he also basically has an average serve, which will improve. When this kid gets a serve that is 10% better and gets free points...look out. The other thing that made me smile really big was his passing shots...a very old coach told me once - I have no topspin practically, I hit flat. I was so disappointing to her, LOL because I'm left handed and she so wanted me to have a strong forehand...and I never did. My backhand was always the best. But of the flat hitting, she said God if you ever do anything in your tennis life, put some kind of topspin on your passes. It's deadly if you can do it. I always remembered that. She said, it doesn't matter where you put it if you can get that ball to dip, it makes it difficult for them on the other side. You are forcing them to close on the net or they're volleying UP to clear the net, even by an inch or a centimeter to volley up is difficult. I smiled and knew she was watching up there somewhere (sappy I know), but Alca dipped those passes and Tsi couldn't handle it. Several volleys dumped up into the net, and he was right there.

Alexandra Stevenson...on Pegula and Bencic. Picks Bencic in a runaway in that part of the draw.

I'm hopeful. I like Danielle, but she has temper issues. Game like Mary Pierce and is streaky and generally one speed. But I'm UVA, so. I've always liked her, and I think her BF coached her for awhile, and one tournament (last year?)?? She told him to go sit somewhere else because the whole stadium was empty and he sat right behind her and she didn't want to see him, LOL. I don't know if she's still with him but I thought, yeah that is a relationship that won't last.

I might have to tune in just to see this mess...reading about it might not be enough. I'm dying laughing over Donna tripping and spilling Honey...or maybe Brooke and Shelia can become ultra concerned for Eric and team up for a hot threesome...Eric can claim to have gotten drunk and accidentally fallen into both of their vaginas....
