The thing that bothers me is, in my lifetime at least, the most qualified people to ever run for President, were Hillary Clinton & Kamala Harris!

When she died, I was so distressed. That was when soaps being "hard hit" began for me, Personally I mean. And, it's just kept going & going some more. And, now we hear that Justin Deas has stage 4 lung cancer.

They also were the first to pair Tom & Margo romantically. They created James Stenbeck. Dusty Donovan & Margo Hughes They created Craig, Lyla, Steve Andropolous, and Cricket on ATWT

And, your rant covers the first level of what was wrong about the stupid island principality.

No, but this https://www.bing.com/images/search?q=nic+robuck+actor&qs=UT&form=QBILPG&sp=2&lq=0&pq=nic+robuck&sk=MT1&sc=4-10&cvid=1A5251EF269B48D7BDECB5396A0B7B9B&first=1

Doechii Win Best Rap Album For Alligator Bites Never Heal “This category was introduced in 1989, and three women have won, Lauren Hill, Cardi B, and Doechii,” she exclaimed to thunderous applause. “I put my heart and soul into this mixtape,” Doechii said. “I bared my life. I’ve went through much. I dedicated my life to sobriety. And God told me that I would be rewarded, and then He showed me just how good it can get.” “I call myself the swamp princess because I’m from Tampa, Florida,” Doechii explained. “There’s so much culture in Tampa. Whenever people think about Florida, they only think about Miami, but labels, go to Tampa, there’s talent there.” Doechii said, I know that there is some Black girl out there watching me right now. I want to tell you, you can do it. Anything is possible. Anything is possible. Don’t allow anybody to project any stereotypes on you, that tell you you can’t be here … that you’re too dark or that you’re not smart enough, or that you’re too dramatic or that you’re too loud. You are exactly who you need to be to be right where you are. Her acceptance speech blew me away.

1-6-1988 Who is this guy?

I just remembered. Did anyone buy into Nina's apologies to Carly? I know I didn't but was just wondering if they worked for anyone else. And, what kind of bug is up Marty's as*?

I have this notebook. It fits in my purse. On the front I have affixed a sticker which says: Hang on. Let me overthink this. I totally love it!!

Christina went up & up another key, and up!!

I, too, have a time, place, person, etc. that can be called trash, or guilty pleasure, but my love & admiration for Dixie simply don't have her in that category. This must be an issue of varying perspectives! Meanwhile Beware pancakes! And, no, you can't ask why because it's a SPOILER! Just a tiny bit of torture, meant in the best possible way!

"'Hope,' St. Augustine said, 'has two beautiful daughters. Their names are anger and courage; anger at the way things are, and courage to see that they do not remain the way they are.' In her timely book, Bishop Mariann Budde offers hard-learned, excellent guidelines for helping not just individuals but congregations and communities learn about bravery and courage, especially in times of polarization and transition." -- The Rev. Dr. Nancy Jo Kemper, Kentucky Council of Churches

@Maxim Look at Yvonne!!! Made Chuck!!

She said repeatedly that it was no one's business but no she didn't say he wasn't.

Well, for AW fans, since it was the same actor, Wallingford/Mr. Big, that actor was much beloved. Maybe different because of the character, though.

The only way I can rationalize it (Is that a word?) anyway, Cody blabbed it to everyone, everywhere, so that changes things. People are not gonna believe that Jason is not Sasha's baby daddy. So to me it's all down to Cody. He screwed the pooch. I could kill him.

Just for kicks, my favorite soap writers: 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. Living but either retired or thought to be retired: Nancy Curlee, Donna Swajeski, Jill Lorie Hurst, Jerome Dobson. Carolyn Culliton, Patrick Mulcahey. Michele Val Jean as we know has the newest of new gigs possible! #BTG #BeyondtheGates Headwriter & Show Creator & EP & ShowRunner! As a fan of hers how lucky do I feel today?!! Doubling back, for example? I mean in your mind, who? what? where? If this is something you believe to be true, then, spill it. Here's your chance.

Intentional, sudden change. How many times are possible? Is two enough? Are 6 too many? 🤷‍♀️🙄🤣 I don't think so. Judging by Steve, in their podcast, if they were, likely he'd be selling it & instead he's just expressed being surprised that he is gonna cover for Michael.

Soap fans who complain?!! What is this world coming to? Next you'll tell me there's to be a new soap, but it will be about rich really rich ... I can't do it. Seriously, complaining is just a part of talking about our shows. But when complaints outweigh other talk by a large margin, to me, that is when you know there's a problem. Negativity can be contagious. And, being mean also contagious. Nor should that be a goal. I didn't know this was a surprise. I thought all y'all already knew.

You might as well ask what if Paul Rauch had said yes when Claire Labine pitched a romantic story between Olivia and Holly. Then, at least they'd have had adequate time to tell the dagblasted story. Otalia, largely because they had to accommodate a real life pregnancy, desperately needed about 10 more months. And, explanations about 2 adult women known to previously been exclusive to men, I have already addressed these things. Please refer to my other posts. But, I will say this. The idea for Otalia came DIRECTLY FROM the brain of Ellen Wheeler who as you might know is a practicing Mormon. If you can figure out what her reasons were, you're a better fan than am I. Because her reasons elude me. Always have. Unlikely to change. And, as always, lovely to talk.

I asked someone who is often in contact but they didn't know.

Thank you. That sounds awful. P&G really knew how to take something that wasn't broken & in an attempt to make things better, screwed it all up, to h*ll & back.

Just FYI/FWIW what I have in a channel I call "vintage". ATWT & GL from 1952 through 1979, 77 episodes. (ATWT 1957, 1958, 1960, 1961, 1962, 1966, 1972, 1978, 1979. GL 1952, 1953, 1954, 1957, 1960, 1963, 1971, 1972, 1973, 1974, 1979.) Specifically TGL 1953 - 4 GL 1952 - 1 GL 1953 - 4 GL 1954 - 1 I can't find where I noted how many of them begin with the voiceover "This is the Guiding Light, created by Irna Phillips." I would guess 2 dozen.

Today I posted: It's because Cyrus needs killing. (In regard to Jason NOT being about revenge, although to be clear I don't think he'll be the doer but I do think he'll get the blame.)
