That is not funny & you should not encourage that. LW is the absolute best, you got that right! And when she & Charles Mesure put it all together it was like they got the sun to shine & the moon to come out at night. That's how magical they were!

I have no idea what they're going to do about the Kiwi accent. And, you may not credit this but the first thing I thought was this: There is some big story behind this but we are never going to know what it is. And, on top of that, a month has gone by, how in the he** did they keep this secret FOR THAT LONG?

I take objection to your phrasing, saying as you have here, If Frons had genuinely cared about & then you go on but I want to stop here. In 1983 when Michael Kape first interviewed him, already, at that point, so relatively early on, Frons already hated soaps & wanted to destroy them. So, my question to you is why are you under the impression that Frons cared about the ABC soaps at all, much less genuinely?

Oh, no, did I do it? Every article says it was his choice. So, I don't see how this time can be pinned on Frank. Do you know all of your cousins' birthdays? I know that I don't. just too many of us.

It's not that I ever am unappreciative of the perspective you add, but, the other side of the coin is that it wasn't over till the bitter end or put another way when the fat lady sang & when it came to the once remarkable NY soap scene she sang her heart out & fans were left with both bittersweet memories & plain ole bitterness, both!

I had that originally on an 8-track so I listen for the clunk-clunks!!! More from my personally checkered past.

We is cool. Today's show does bring up watchability!!

Repeating myself but most common complaint!

I like slinging words! Glad ir resonated with you

An amazing secret they kept

You've concluded on your own that you're not going to believe the two articles? To me, the whole day today was weird. Scene after scene, two people, all about the same length & no plot movement just exposition, mostly. Like the day was disconnected!

Yeah, that is how he used it, regularly. Especially if some idiot fan did something to annoy him, then he'd vanish for about 3-4 days. When he first showed up some fans said something stupid & he reacted in this kind of defensive measure. I don't remember what it was that they said only that I thought at the time he was right.

Jack is popular among Carly fans. Maybe with others, also

Well, I'm encouraged because he said all the right things. That means to me that he's smart & knows how to play the game. Plus, in the pictures he looks good adoringly, at Laura.

OMG!!! Charles Mesure has left on his own accord. DIGEST

I would just add one thing. IT'S FEBRUARY!

Now, I do that the reverse of the way you did. Hunt Block, okay Jeffrey Meek, ugh no

One of my favorite of my own edits is "Stunt: Recast Reveal: ATWT: Two Scott Eldridges" & in it Neal is on a date & making out with one Scott & then the other Scott. A post from Twi/X about the shoddy treatment he received from P&G: As The World Turns @CBSATWT On #WorldAIDSDay we reflect upon the firing of Joseph Breen. After news broke in the National Enquirer that Breen had AIDS, the show fired him and then put in an emergency recast. Breen played Lisa’s son Scott.

I love that Gaga but I love the current version, too, but not quite as much. @MaximA blast from the past

I was still a daily viewer of ATWT at that time. If Goutman had pre-taped the finale we could have had Nancy narrate that last day, as was intended. Beck offered to step away & let Martha play out Lily's end. Goutman NO. STILL no story for Lisa!!!! Then, Reed & Luke, no consummation, instead Reed is dead. And, this all after 2 years of drek. When CBS mandated the new production model for GL, they mandated a different style of narrative, story-telling & Oakdale was stuck with pod stories, rather than the traditional tapestry weaving storylines. Honest, I understand what you're saying. We just must agree to disagree. It's not that I don't respect your opinion. Mine is just different.

I'm pretty sure that initially she stayed at Donna's. later, of course, she was definitely with Vicky.

Apparently a giant phishing scheme is aimed at gmail accounts this week. So, repeat after me I will not click on any link unless I already know what is there. Then, after a few days, we should be okay. This warning has been brought to you by the letter W, for Warning of course.

On ATWT Lucinda had a special thing with & for her butler whose name I believe was Matthew. What Liz Hubbard would do is engage him in conversation ultimately forcing him to say more than 5 lines. That way he'd be paid more. It was a game to her.
