@Taoboi Oh snap, Marcus Jordan indulging?

Hopefully the episodes that stream are the full broadcast versions and not the cut syndication versions.

I never viewed the original Grant/Brooke story that way. Grant made Brooke question her decade-long obsession w/ Ridge.

Men's basketball semifinals are set for Thursday: USA/Serbia, France/Germany. I'm predicting USA/France gold medal game, Serbia/Germany bronze medal game.

Laura was the heart and candor of the show. She kept everyone in check and would not hesitate to call anyone out and put them on blast. Season 6 Laura and Ruth scenes were the best. Laura departure is the point for me where Knots Landing starts going off the rails.

If I'm not mistaken, Carrington Garland was a soap name thrown around for Y&R Phyllis recast in 1997. Other than that I can't think of any other soap roles she might have been considered for. Robin Wright has been speaking negatively about her time on Santa Barbara for the better part of the last 30 or so years and I'm sure Eileen Davidson knows that Santa Barbara fans do not hold her run in high regard so no surprise they were absent.

Once again, EB is keeping it way too real and I am here for it.

Yeah, build-a-body.

@Soapsuds Great video, thank you. This was the first Donna Mills interview I've seen/read where she mentioned Ava Gardner arc, and it's another positive account of it. Of the Golden Age Hollywood trio that had short arcs on CBS soaps in the 1980s, all accounts of Ava Gardner and Dorothy McGuire I've come across have been positive (believe me, if Dorothy McGuire was throwing diva demands at Y&R, we would've known about it) whereas there are accounts of Lana Turner allegedly throwing diva demands.

@Toups It was a nail biter. Noah Lyles annoyed me with his whole "no flags in the NBA" and "the average person is closer to LeBron James than to me" takes. Granted, I'm not a LeBron fan either but that's beside the point.

@Taoboi I've been out of the Miami Housewives loop so I didn't know Marcus Jordan had a new girl. Marcus Jordan parties with blond bombshell in Cannes after Larsa Pippen split (pagesix.com) Some comments I've seen online are "he downgraded" and "he has a type".

Ellen Parker Maureen was the anchor/tentpole of the community that kept things grounded.

Men's 100 meters is today. Anyone but Noah Lyles please.

Men's basketball quarter finals are set for Tuesday: USA/Brazil, Serbia/Australia, Germany/Greece, Canada/France. On paper the quarter finals looks like another cakewalk for USA but anything can happen in the knockout rounds.

Is Josh Griffith dusting off Single White Female for Lucy/Faith?

In Marcy Walker defense, she looks like a nearly 63 year old woman that does not make regular visits to a plastic surgeon or a dermatologist. She retired from acting and allowed herself to age normally.

Both CBS and P&G were shaken by ABC's huge rise and domination 1978-1982. 1986 and 1987 were the peak years.

Yet these years overlap w/ the Daytime Emmy run 1988-1990. Got to hand it to JFP for stepping up her block voting game.

@Soapsuds Did you like this remix?

Another feel good story of these Olympics. U.S. Table tennis team chop-in it up with U.S. men's basketball team | NBC Olympics

These spoilers are not doing anything for me. There's going to be a good amount of garbage time.

Nikki's confrontations were mostly verbal, at least in the Bill Bell years. I can't remember any Nikki bitch slaps from that time.

I think it was Michael Laibson. He was first credited as EP in late May 1995 and Rachel Miner was in the contract cast until June or July 1995. 1995 was probably the biggest turnover year as far as cast changes go. From some digging this is what I came up with. Departures: Jean Carol, Barbara Crampton, Hilary Edson, Scott Hoxby, Melina Kanakaredes, Rachel Miner, Kelly Neal, Monti Sharp, Eugene Troobnick, Marcy Walker Arrivals: Frank Beaty, Rebecca Budig, Amy Cox, Russell Curry, Kevin Mambo, Wendy Moniz, Jennifer Roszell Returns: Lisa Brown, Michael O'Leary, Kim Zimmer

Ashley last scene I remember was a video chat w/ Abby.

Athletics starting Wednesday. Noah Lyles once again starting s--- w/ NBA players. https://www.tiktok.com/@mistuhray/video/7386010573764316458?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pc&web_id=7397657200069936646
