  1. I do not see that. Instead what I see is two people who tried very hard to be thoughtful & also deliberate in their actions who were met with roadblocks at every juncture & then when they were still not ready, events overtook them & literally chaos ruled & we're going to see them pay in terms of repercussions. IOW, despite the best laid plans, sh*t happens. The only thing I do not understand is why didn't she call Tate to come help, now, stat? She needed it to be very clinical & it was very messy.
  2. And, I looked at a picture of him the other day & just had to stop & look again because he's not aging well at all, right?
  3. What a hoot! I will have to listen for that.
  4. OMG! Tate & Sofia's baby boy, now the mystery male infant & Javi took him home to Leo. What is hard to understand about the real fans of this show wanting LESS Leo, not more?!!!! I could not be more disgruntled if ... Josh Taylor was nominated for an Emmy for not playing Roman!
  5. And, related, but different, DAYS has the worst retcons. John, Princess Gina and OMG Tony/Andre! I still can't get over the affront to Daphne.
  6. Like you, I am dubious. However, if it were going to be so, then it - and only it - would be a real justification for a purge. No, not private but I try not to post links instead I tend to describe like this: My usual video hosting site which is rumble.com acct name: shallotpeel Video title: GL 3-5-90 Alex & A Family Dinner Party
  7. SUCKS! There's a very good reason why I'm not invested on YT anymore & instead am on another video hosting site. They took me down twice in 10 months. Why? Ancient DAYS clips. Not current, not even close to current, very old & not full episodes, clips, edits.
  8. Thanks!! So glad to have a date to look forward to. Of course, I'm still a daily watcher so I would've seen it no matter what, but anticipation is fun, too!!! This article feeds that!!!
  9. Was he described as Mexican, though? I know for sure that at least once he was described as Mexican-American. And, no, there's nothing to suggest any Latin on VW's mother's side of the family. So, basically, moot. Not alleged, at all. And, what are you thinking? That her father was overly sensitive or defensive, or what?
  10. Thank you! I knew there was evidence but I didn't recall if it was her babysitting, changing a diaper, feeding him, or what, so I neither went looking to find out, nor guessed!!! In a way I tell myself it's not as grotesque as it could be because earlier Kristen was Eileen Davidson & current Kristen is Stacy Haiduk, but I don't really believe myself.
  11. IMO literally the most egregious thing about age, aging, ages & de-aging on DAYS is illustrated by Kristen & her relationships with John & Brady. Another lifetime ago she was in love with John. She would have to known Brady as an infant. However she has been portrayed as in love with him as well & even had a child with him, little Rachel. Sure, soaps are full of times when someone has been with two generations but this version of that seems like it ought to be particularly ewww yet no one ever seems to notice.
  12. Donna is the one with dimples. That's it. Only difference. Easy but does it matter?
  13. Some people who say they know insist that VW always wore wigs. Even going so far as saying the actress owed so many, the number 100 was mentioned. I just add this in, since if so, her own preferences might have come into what could easily have been a lowkey ethnic vs WASP.
  14. Also very interesting. He was not likely to commit the cardinal sin on soaps, being boring.
  15. ONE OF MY FAVORITE SONGS
  16. Grant!!! Of course. Nothing like getting whole generations confused in one's head. My bad!
  17. Very true. When that was posted, I rolled my eyes. NO WAY, no how, was JFP down for anything remotely like that.
  18. Was he Spencer Harrison #1?
  19. Kathy & Scott! Well, it is almost universally hated by fans who watched it in real time. To me it definitely IS THAT BAD! I wish I knew if it really relates to BTG. I certainly hope not. There are so many reasons. Worst, probably is that they tainted the histories of 5 veterans, guys, who did not deserve to have their reputations sullied in such an awful way. Least, is probably that they did it mostly to give a job to a friend, Carrie Nye. You have to remember that John Conboy & Ellen Weston were IMO the first nails in the coffin of GL. The Maryanne Carruthers storyline is one of the worst examples of exec/HW excesses & not in support of good storytelling. It was awful.
  20. Oh,. what a totally delightful idea!!!!! Were then still together & are still now, recently celebrated 50 years on their anniversary. I saw her post!!! But, I gotta say love your awkward, ugh, concept!!! And, you are right.
  21. Apparently Roger is doing stand-up somewhere in the state of California. When I saw this, I did a double-take. I have been behind so I don't know if this has been mentioned. Thursday Sidwell, looking at 2 photos. Rory/Michael correctly shown in a GH shot. Kate Mansi/Kristina wrongly shown as Abigail on DAYS. Weird?
  22. Ah, in my mind, and I guess also when posting I call the lifesavers opening, "The Spinning Discs" opening & I'm not sure I've ever seen that promo for the 50th anniversary even though I have Schemering's book for the 50th anniversary. Glad this posting worked! And, thanks! This is Ellen Parker's win & reel for 1993. [If I have told this before, sorry to be duplicating.] I have had reason to email with Courtney Sherman Simon in the past & earlier this year I sent her this Almost instantly she emailed me back & shared with me that the line she wrote actually was And she still had a preference for it the way she wrote it. I loved that she shared it. I loved that after all these years she recalled with that focus & precision exactly what she wrote. I loved that in their business they probably have actors tweak lines all the time, or just paraphrase instead of verbatim, etc.
  23. How frustrating for you! Maybe this time it will work!!
  24. Today I am on a quest. You may know that sadly Joe Marinelli has recently died. What I am looking for is dates of episodes where he appeared in drag as Bunny Tagliatti. With the dates I can try to find the episodes & then I will be able to do edits of him as Bunny. Yes, I loved Bunny! SANTA BARBARA
  25. Just curious as to why the interview with Lynda Hirsch was noted here with no context or info given when it apparently was just about the end of CAPITOL & a tease of the beginning of B&B. Literally had nothing to do with this discussion. In future, I would offer the gentle suggestion to provide some context especially if it's a link to a non-GL site. BTW, fan lore has it that they refused to tie up any & all loose ends because of how angry John Conboy was about their cancellation & not because there was any chance of a new venue by this time.
