Contessa Donatella

Then perhaps it throws some doubt on the plastic surgery story's veracity!

Thank you so much. I never knew this. D'uh! Tahiti, huh? Gee, makes so much more sense now!

You are right. She was almost totally unknown before showing up on a beach in Salem. Since we all understand the likelihood of a beach there. Lol.

Oh, no. So sad to hear that.

She & Robert both have playlists. I'm just partial to the duets.

Judging by the rest of their comment... you are lucky to have been blocked. CG, Good to Know! Thanks for saying so! Maxim, what a succinct summing up! And, 🤔😉👏🫵🤌🤞👌🤏🤣🤣🤣

Have you ever seen them sing duets, live? UNBELIEVABLE how good.

Thanks for the dates, folks!

First, what I actually said: CG had said this & I bolded this part & made the statement below. Now, that is not saying a universal consensus on a couple per se. No, it is instead an acknowledgement about how much better Kirsten Storms is doing & how the activities they are writing for her are working SO much better now than in her past several years. I actually started to come back & add that we rarely agree on anything but when we do it is notable. Now, if you do not agree that most people are much happier with Maxie right now, then, fine, we can agree to disagree. But, I don't think you got what I said. Next, I have NEVER claimed to be an insider. I have specifically said numerous times that I am not & have never been. What I am is someone who sometimes knows people who know something. Totally different. Knowing people who work in the business is just that & it is NOT being "an insider." Given how atrociously you misunderstood my simple statement here, I am not at all surprised that you have apparently also misunderstood in the past. Maybe you'd want to do better. As far as I can tell the rest of your commentary is a meandering rant having nothing at all to do with either what I actually said or what you totally misconstrued & thought I said. You are entitled to rant just like anyone. But, it has nothing to do with me. About me, I would suggest you might want to ignore me if you cannot follow what I actually say any better than this pitiful excuse here today. This was positively absurd.

Don't know about her at SB. However, I think moving into soap-hybrids was a choice she & her partner made, a very conscious choice. They were considered to be "movers and shakers" & very progressive & leaders. Before she became ill & died she reaped considerable acclaim. (F*ck Cancer!) You know me & dates!! If I don't look it up, I can be way off. But, I do know that she evaluated Pete as a Headwriter & found him lacking!! However, she told him he needed to write more sex & he was as offended by her as she, him.

This is where I am also.

Her mandate was to drastically change the "age" of the show, moving veterans who were much older, if not to the backburner, at least somewhat off to the side & to bring younger characters way to the forefront. Mary Stuart was afraid she intended to run them completely off the show, but that was not in the works, ever. I'm under the impression that she was blamed & hated when she was only doing, literally, what she was hired to do. She didn't like Pete Lemay. He didn't like her. Patrick Mulcahey told me she would not defend herself. Then, of course, there was a writer's strike & things became even more complicated. To me that sounds a great deal like JFP at AW. Although Jill was always ready to defend herself & cast blame on someone, anyone, else.

In the chronology, then, when did Bunim go to SEARCH? I mean, if you know. Because at SFT she was operating under a mandate as obnoxious to fan goals as JFP when she came in 1995.

The whole industry? Doubtful. But like most gayfolk in soaps at the time he was known to the people at his own shows.

Pretty sure there is a universal consensus on this.

😉 I never forgave them for getting rid of Susan Sullivan to pay for Gregory Harrison & then they killed Maggie off in such a horrific way!!! Finally found the exit post that was so good that Kate made yesterday.

Okay, I'll remember. So far though no sign of him.

Now, see, on this I differ. FINALLY I am taking Josh Kelly off of my cut list. Mac having a son & James just in general makes the Mac/Cody/James dynamic ... dynamic, also I expect it's going to be fun.

Low bars!!! Many low bars. Possibly could not even count them.

Somehow I don't think he'd agree with her about that. But, probably he just smiled & went on with dinner. They say he was incredibly charming in his off-hours.Oh, the rifle is news to me, too.

The Chad & Stephanie time was essentially wasted time.

AH! Makes all the difference & Gregory, both the character & the actor were set to die & thereby be removed from the cast from the beginning of his storyline. He was not part of any "reset" & has no effect at all on what seemed to be an abrupt departure from the LGBTQ+ couple. People all over are saying & have now for days who they would've cut BEFORE cutting JGL.As GH fans, this is nothing new. We probably all have 12-15 people we would "trim" from this cast. Thanks for clarifying.

From the wiki: Following former actress Haley Pullos healing from a car accident, details of the accident came out upon Haley's arrest for DUI. A temp was cast from May-July 14; Brooke Anne Smith permanently took over the role from July 19-September 25, 2023; and Vaganos took over the role on September 27, 2023.

Yep. Aug. 10, 2023. WEIRD.
