  1. I saw a post from a Facebook page or group known to put out fake news & is also considered clickbait. Its name is Beyong [sic] the Gates: Gatekeeps Gossip. Yesterday's was a fake Instagram announcement of Kelly Monaco joining the cast of BTG. You can't make this sh*t up!!! Anyway, beware, you may see this somewhere. I haven't seen it myself but another fan told me some disreputable site is announcing the cancellation of DAYS by Peacock! The hits just keep on coming!
  2. Both Paper Dolls & Bare Essence are strong favorites of mine. I never understood why Paper Dolls was not a hit right out of the starting gate. One interesting thing about it is that it has 4 different opening themes. The TV movie has an original composition. The pilot uses Michael Jackson's "Billie Jean". Then the series itself uses a totally different original composition. Then halfway through the episodes that were aired, they do a variation on that original composition. I have all of Paper Dolls. If anyone wants to see it, happy to oblige. I love Racine. Were they crazy? Only one word. And, is she named after a city in Wisconsin? REALLY?!! Roscoe Borne smiles more in this show than ever before, or since. Nicolette Sheridan & Terry Farrell are the ingénues being introduced. Brenda Vacarro is, well, she's herself.
  3. @MaximHave fun celebrating your husband's birthday! Jennifer Lewis singing "Black Don't Crack" https://www.instagram.com/reel/DFidE9YuBfj/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link
  4. And we only have ONE WEEK LEFT IN Feb. sweeps!
  5. https://www.instagram.com/p/DGGs0YByO8k/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link large B&W of Hirson, RIP, tribute post
  6. Serial killers don't necessarily have motivations, not in the usual sense at least.
  7. From our Easter Egg hunt today, I did an edit of Vivian & Brady in & around the sarcophagus that is all set up for Maggie & she is on a phone call near the end of the 9 minute edit. Anyone who wishes to see it: my usual video hosting site; acct: shallotpeel; video title DAYS 9-14-2010 Brady & Vivian ft. Maggie
  8. Can't edit. #%#@ Apparently he did this very late in the 90s, so it would not pertain to this other conversation. Since no one chose to reply, I looked it up. That was down to 2 things. 1. Wheeler doggedly set out to prove you could support product within the show. 2. P&G gave no money for it, at all. Is this you actually being serious?!!! Guess we're left with agree/to disagree, which is fine. Never thought about it but I see what you mean about Marj. Not sure it applies to Ron. Ron was just so operatic or bombastic. Also see your point about Alexandra. This reminds me of David Letterman. They say the closest naturally occurring accent for broadcast is midwestern & his was supposed to be some kind of ideal. Seems strange. Everyone else who wants to succeed as a broadcaster is supposed to take lessons to lose their accents. Did you know Letterman was a meteorologist in Indiana?
  9. Oh, I not only think it was noticed, but fans really liked it. Fans to this day speak favorably about her distinct pronunciation of Daddeeeeee.
  10. I was SO pleased at the sight of Natasha peeking out of Alexis!! Please GH, and NLG, give us more Natasha, Alexis's Cassadine side!!! Sadly, I have come to believe that Frankie is not going to bring on either Blaze or her brother. What we've got is UGH Sidwell as the Natalia connection. And, Natalia is about as popular as one Laurel was on AMC. Which is to say NOT popular. Aka the defart setting. I still say we're not there. We're due an amazing crazy scene. We've been due it since Watros signed on.
  11. I have no problem blaming him. He, to me, as an actor = I am not impressed. Nor enthused. But, sure the buck stops at Frankie. IMO incredibly stupid to let temp Lucky have the kiss. I really don't understand that because it was OBVIOUS!!!
  12. My favorite soap writers are Lemay, Labine, Curlee, Swajeski, Hurst, Mulcahey, the Dobsons, Marland, Val Jean, CCulliton, Falken Smith, Bell, Nixon & Phillips. That's 15. I like writers. So sue me. You notice I'm sure that half are deceased: Lemay, Labine, Bridget Dobson, Marland, Falken Smith, Bell, Nixon & Phillips. Living but either retired or thought to be retired: Nancy Curlee, Donna Swajeski, Jill Lorie Hurst, Jerome Dobson, Carolyn Culliton, Patrick Mulcahey. That only leaves Michele Val Jean who as we know has the newest of new gigs possible! #BTG #BeyondtheGates Headwriter & Show Creator & EP & ShowRunner! I'm SO excited for her!
  13. See, this was an extremely important conversation because now Carly haters will say that Jason said Carly doesn't understand him. They were both good & fun, great mix!
  14. But, Beverlee McKinsey as Iris on AW had what was called a "honey-dripping" accent, which I do not think is a real thing.
  15. Isn't he on recurring because he & his partner reside in NYC? I believe he commutes.
  16. I loved today's sneak peek even more than I loved yesterday's!!! Clearly I'm falling in love once again.
  17. It's in my files, the whole episode. To get this I did a quick edit. Both Audio & Video. If you want it, just PM me. Choose betw the whole episode or Viv/Brady edit. My DAYS files, continuous, begin with 1984. That's true in general for collectors of digital files of DAYS. I have years before but here & there, not continuous.
  18. Yes, she did. And played them well. Also, supposedly in the past Frankie offered Hartley the gig full-time, regular, presumably on contract. But, again supposedly, she declined, saying most of her time she enjoys directing & this off-chance is just keeping her hand in the game. And, let's continue with supposedly, one of those times, when she returned to the studio, after being fired, she had a sling on with her arm bandaged. I Don't Know if she was accident-prone or whatever???
  19. DAYS 9-14-2010 Gus on phone.mp4 Mona, this is how it's said.
  20. I'm afraid this just can't wait. (to Liz)
  21. As a Southerner, and for most of my early life, someone from the Deep South, I have always said that in general neither Texans nor Floridians are Southerners.
  22. About a servant of Vivian's, Gus not Ivan, what was the foreign language term Viv referred to him as? @Mona Kane Croft@janea4old As of 11-4-2009 Viv is obsessed with Carly & charged Gus with locating her. He reports finding her - in Salem. Viv laughs & declares, "Carly is nothing if not predictable." The bad news is she's consistently called him "Gus" for the last 4 days. 11-9-2009 Well, this was bound to happen. Who is the baby Nicole has with her all the time? Also, I am amazed at how large the cast is. Sorry, Mona, still no luck.
  23. I thought about that. In my experience moving the content of an ongoing thread is problematic but, sure, I'm game, we'll give it a try.
