Contessa Donatella

I just happened to notice that on Bluesky Drake is trending. I think that is very very cool. Basically, a random Wednesday in January. I'm all in for it.

For some reason I thought she had passed a few years ago.

I just found 29 photos of Leslie on Tumblr. Here are just a few.

OH NO!!!! I'm not at all sure I can give up Coke Zero. This is appalling. By all rights, this should cost someone in Promotions a job!

All 3 dresses look "edgy" to me. I suspect the very well respected Costume Designer is going for a look that perhaps is, let's say, beyond our more mundane taste? The BTG Costume Designer was one of the first names to be said to be departing their previous gig on the way here. She was at B&B.

I always love that at the bottom of the page it says: Home Another World To which I invariably reply, yes, Another World is home to us.

Okay, let's see if any of these articles are what we want. Well, just darn. Too little to read. Back to the drawing board.

The loss of Pat was incalculable. Not as bad as losing Jacqueline Courtney but a close second.

I would tend to agree that Mason & Julia at the very least had a supercouple vibe.

You are most welcome! Easy as pie. Xanthe is my hero for finding the right episode! At 73, about to turn 74, Feb. 8, it seems very possible to me!! An ilegal abortion, killing the cad who got her pregnant, being sterile, miraculously being able to conceive. She went through a lot of things women went through in the 70s. Loved that realism! Although also AW seemed to me to be close to a play produced for the small screen. It had a kind of a proscenium arch look & feel to it.

Hard hit. I just think of those 2 words.

Totally subjective reactions to the DIGEST "50 Greatest Couples" GH Spencer & Trina 50 👍 DAYS Roman & Marlena 44 Too Low AMC Bianca & Maggie BAM the only same sex couple 40 👍 DAYS Lucas & Sami 39 👍 Santa Barbara Cruz & Eden 36 Too Low Santa Barbara Mason & Julia 23 👍 AW Mac & Rachel 35 👍 but more couples should have been included DAYS Justin & Adrienne 33 👍 OLTL Bo & Nora 31 👍 GH Lucky & Liz 29 I like this one because of the picture. GH Alan & Monica 26 👍👍 ATWT Jack & Carly 24 👍 AMC Greg & Jenny 22 👍But they killed Jenny! DAYS Doug & Julie 19 They should be Top 10! GH Sonny & Carly 18 meh IDK Not a CarSon fan GH Robert & Holly 17 They look amazing!

Thank you for indulging me. Sorry it's so long.

That, too! I don't know why I didn't think of it. Also, and I know most people wouldn't notice but Jarly fans were rewarded with a HUG. We've been horribly hug deprived. It's been weeks! And, of course, we also had the reward of them talking about Michael as their 'chosen family first born.' And Jason remembering that Michael was the first baby he ever held.

I loved Sam Groom! If I recall correctly, she couldn't attend the anniversary 'do last May. I think it was only because of advanced age, though, so not anything alarming.

It looks a bit like a part of a Cleopatra costume. Why?

I love that this part of an ad says "Click here for more information" under this great shot of this man in all his glory.

Oh, your shot is so much better than mine!!!

Pat is a huge early memory for me. Also Alice & Mary, too. But, I kinda fall down on the men. Russ, I do remember. But, John, not so much. I don't really get into any man until Cass. Then, Carl, Michael, John, Vince. And, it's weird to me but I don't remember the twins. Or Joey & Angie. Of course I remember Ada & OG Rachel, although I do not remember the 2nd Rachel. Why I recall some & not others is puzzling to me. Why couldn't you post a screencap?

If I tried to tell the premise, it would likely sound ridiculous. I mean, you just utter the word 'clone' and you're in trouble right off the bat.

You're very welcome. And, I mean, Paul asked.

Yes, there can be no doubt. And, I get it that on soaps there's no such thing as a happy couple, not for long, anyway. Soaps are about busting couples up, not putting them together. Just look at today's GH. They've blown up almost every couple that exists.

The whole world of GH fans were doing 2 things today. 1 - judging Willow 2 - cheering Tracy on

Here's the second one. Russell, M. (1995). Days of Our Lives: A Complete History of the Long-Running Soap Opera. McFarland and Company, Publishers, Ltd. ISBN 0-7864-0112-5 "Viewers clamored for Doug and Julie's wedding. Head writer Bill Bell resisted, "I continue to be unalterably opposed to any marriage between Doug and Julie. All too soon the proverbial honeymoon would be over, inevitably the spark diminished, the love songs a little less exciting ... It's still my conviction that the most effective love scenes are those in which love is so inherent that in seeing it, feeling it, we don't need to say it." You & I apparently have very different meanings for the word 'never'. And, yes, you're right, it is Bob not Bill. Thanks for that.

Thanks! I well remember that it was Pat Falken Smith who married them & only after Bill Bell was gone to Y&R.
