  1. RIP Mark Snow also Paper Dolls, Falcon Crest, Cagney & Lacey, Dynasty & Night Sins & of course many more Between Marty Davitch & now Mark Snow heaven is set for music. RIP Mark Snow, composer
  2. Maybe The Most!! Well, I didn't mean it directed AT YOU!
  3. The throwing chairs events I referred to earlier were Y&R's Braden & Bergman and OLTL's someone in regard to Linda Gottlieb.
  4. I feel the need to rise in defense of Louise Broderick who I feel before she retired last year has provided many hours of soapy messy goodness to many fans of many shows & after all she was one of Agnes Nixon's proteges & that carries with it no small degree of excellence conferred.
  5. Well, I am one who is very glad that the GL Casting Director found Pelphrey at a NJ college. But, I always found Tesreau to be solid as a Mindy! And, she was one of MOL's better pairings.
  6. I'm neither taking up for Morgan or putting him down. But, I frankly do not understand the hatred for Tom Pelphrey's Jonathan!!! Yes but what about one of his wives later marrying a lesbian? or being on a break?
  7. @P.J.I'm going to need that URL from you. I can offer various others, not GL.
  8. Wait. If I understand your routine is to have two different versions of the same video, playing in two different tabs. I'm sorry to be the one to tell you but that is an awful waste of resources! Memory on your device, computer, phone or whatever. Plus, you are using the resources of two separate entities. But, you're only actually using one. So, if you follow, 50% is total waste. You are using the resources of two people. Doppelganger? unknown twin? Neighbor who is too cheap to get his own internet?
  9. Thanks to original uploader ANOTHERWORLDlover. I just did this very quick edit. Carl & Ian, about the island mystery involving their fathers & Mac. Paulina has been edited out because her only scene was cop shop, Ryan, questions. Not what would have been interesting in light of this untimely death.
  10. This is an edit I have very quickly done. Only Julian & Charles Keating are in it. My thanks to the original uploader ANOTHERWORLDlover This was a primary story that Julian had one of the young male leads in. Besides this mystery, they went on a location shoot. AW's tropical island mystery where among other things Paulina alternately fell into lust with Ian (Julian) and Jake. It was just that kind of summer storyline.
  11. @Xanthe I only recall hearing about chairs being thrown on Y&R and OLTL but we had it, too?
  12. Also Falcon Crest, Dynasty, ...
  13. Your point about them both being in CHARMED, a favorite, is totally valid. Personally I just relate to the battles & this out of the blue, unnerves me. An Aussie in my FB group has just posted this:
  14. Yes, but with Shannen, like Robyn Griggs, we knew about the battles they waged over years, while this is as abrupt, out of nowhere as much like it was a shock when Kristoff St. John died at only 52.
  15. He was ours. First job in the US. ANOTHER WORLD. he & Paulina had fascinating give and take, flirt, passionate relationship. I am horrified. 56. Phuque CANCER!!! Does anyone have contact info for Judi Evans? She's going to be hit so hard!!! If anyone reaches her, tell her we are all, the fans, thinking of her as well as his family.
  16. So, here in GL Land, Mo is Maureen Bauer but in GH Land Mo is Maurice Benard. Like just now sometime I am distractedly reading & I suddenly stop, thinking what occasion did Peter Simon have to dislike Maurice Benard's potato salad. THEN I PAY ATTN & instantly there is no mystery!!! LOL. And, a different Bauer BBQ year.
  17. This should be our motto, anthem, rallying cry. 1. Been there, it's awful. 2. TESTIFY! 3. Lazy? Nyah. Probably just temp distracted by life stuff. 4. I read someone say that the shows are not going to do sharing of these clips & some fans are doing it, unofficially now & they ought to make it a part of their plan to make some fans official in care, preservation & sharing. I was moved by their words.
  18. I am reading quite a bit that goes "Frank this" or "Frank that". Fairly usual, even to be expected. However, I'm going to say Frank & what follows is different. If you see the sense in it, great. If not, meh There is one thing that Frank is not going to tolerate & that thing is behavior on set, in the midst of trying to tape & trying to meet a schedule. This applies most to actors. No surprise there. If an actor has personal beliefs that are disruptive, possible problem. If an actor has legit health issues, that is different, as it is not their fault, etc. If an actor makes others on set cry by their chosen behavior, let's say that continues, that actor is going to find their time on camera begins a little at a time to be cut back but that is the kind of thing that can add up. Say it's taping a big event like a wedding, an anniversary show, or the Nurses Ball, people whose behavior seems to be holding the show hostage to their, we'll call them "issues", they might find themselves completely written out of, for example, the NB. I just present this as one theoretical where the problem is not Frank, it's fill-in-the-blank. And, no, I am not naming names except to say one thing & that is, okay 2 things, I am on record as NOT being thrilled at NotBritt being back & I who used to love 11 yr old JJ/Lucky, well, the grown up version can go kick rocks. I said the other day that I did not come to put anyone down. When I said that I was overlooking KellyT & JJ. But most of this is not about any one or even two specific people. I just remembered I have had it with them, at the last here, so I am tacking them on. I, too, was crazed!!!! I mean, how could they present that & it be so obvious?!!! One thinks that scene was written, checked over, blocked & then shot & no one, in the booth or on the side of the set, thought, Wait a minute, this looks off?!!!
  19. One amazing example, if you recall, was Spencer's funeral. White people on the left. Black people on the right. White people who crossed over to the right, only: Cameron, Ava, Joss. That was all. Laura did not. So, only those 3, so close to Trina, offered her comfort. Or in a real sense acknowledged her as Spencer's chosen love. Alexis voiceover for the eulogy but she did not in any way acknowledge Trina. The sheer geography of it was sad but amazing, in the worst possible way.
  20. Who is this? And, co-sign your whole take on it!
  21. What exactly is the error? They're talking about the storyline with Delia & the gorilla in Central Park. I mean, sure King Kong is wrong, but what else? BTW, there's a thread for these errors. Although I would understand if you didn't post it there. Someone tried to destroy the topic. Never mind! I only saw the top lines of the post. Now I see the bottom half & I get it.
  22. Annette, anyone else & Vault Hero: @BoldRestless This is a very quick (and dirty) edit of things I have that relate just to here. Vault Hero, if you want any of this for the vault, just say. Annette & other, some is up in my usual video hosting site, rest files I upload for you. If you see something you want to see copy it into a SON email to me. -------------------- Daytime Emmys 1982, 1985-2000, 2002-2009, 2011, 2012, 2014, 2021-2024 ATWT 11-22-1963 the day John F.

Things become contentious. Beth tries to diffuse the tension by asking someone to please pass the butter. Finally, Alex gets up & leaves the room, saying over her shoulder as she goes, “And would someone please pass Beth the damned butter?!!” [Special Thanks to Maria Trivisonno for finding this in Blake Marler's files!] Also in the front room, Harley is trying to shake down Alex with a piece of lingerie she says she found in her husband Alan-Michael’s robe pocket. It is clearly not anything Harley would have worn. Alex is just about to write a check when A-M barrels into the room. That’s the end of that deal. Phillip: "You should have been here when Alan was! ... I'm in the middle of a dinner party with my slightly cannibalistic family."
  23. Easy. Literally type in the address bar or search bar, etc. The Internet Archive And, you'll get a page similar to this: Then, in the middle, the word search, to the right of the graphic icon of a building with columns, type Guiding Light US soap opera clips (or full episodes instead of clips). And, if you have ANY trouble come back & ask!
  24. The Internet Archive, Wayback Machine has clips, too, not just full episodes.
  25. I can't tell whether he is saying, "He's right, Miss H." Or, "He's right, Miss Heche." But immediately after, she gets tickled!!!
