Contessa Donatella

This week, a year ago: I physically want to get that dadgummed stuffed animal, Valiant is his name, & Krissy brought him to her & tear him into ity bitty shreds & then burn them! I refuse to believe Alexis treated it as if it were a real horse & fed it. Nope, not in my Alexicon!

Mary Page Kellar And, also when Betty Rea was looking for a Morgan she found Lisa Brown who she knew couldn't possibly be Morgan but she told herself someone is going to snap up this girl, so with no job for her she hired her anyway.

I never watched before. It was my dad's favorite & he was always perplexed that I didn't get on board but I was totally a HILL STREET BLUES fan. So, last night I watched 1st episode. So entranced! Now incredibly frustrated with not being able to find the second episode. Ridiculous!

Yes, it was confirmed in an article last week. But good catch noticing in Friday credits! You're assuming something exists that doesn't nor does it need to. As far as the possibility that something could be done better, I would suggest that is generally at least theoretically possible. With Kraze specifically there were times we didn't see them at all & seeing them every week would have improved thw storytelling. Also the surrogacy sl took up time when we could have seen them dating, etc. I don't consider "It could have been done better" to be a valid criticism & I apply that to gay or straight relationships. But, the main point is that Natalia & Olivia do not compare in terms of life experiences with Kristina & Alison & I certainly did not look for them to be. I think I've done a fine job of explaining my position as a believer to you as a doubter.

It really seems futile. You've got someone who has made up their mind that the people involved are at best mediocre ... contrasted with someone who saw attraction, chem, flirting, very different people who when they come together, create something that is greater than the sum of its parts. Magic. Electricity. Hot, very hot. Interest. Conversation. Repartee. Amazing sex appeal. Seem like it's all they can do to keep their hands to themselves - and the looks, my god their eyes feasting on one another. But I doubt there is any point to this.

So funny. Love being reminded. And he wrote GH as a scab for her!

Enjoyed the Show. I am so tired of Stefan. Jack was good with Julie. I think SSH can elevate other's performances. So loved Jenn's entrance. Then, cliffhanger. Boom! She's on the phone: "Everything is going by the plan!"

You're not. Otalia fans did so & their reasons were because they saw things in the two couples that looked & felt & seemed alike & they were worthy.

Just so sorry you're having to go through this. Unfortunately I have zero expertise to offer.

Actually many Kraze fans so early on it was almost immediate remarked how the couple resonated Otalia to us & very many of us were huge Otalia fans before Kraze was as much as a twinkle in an eye. Just sayin' is all since it was brought up. Collectively we deemed that finally here was a couple worthy of the legacy of Otalia. And, about the statement that I want this to be something it's not. 1. Untrue. 2. Rude & wholly unnecessary statement & 3. You do not begin to know me well enough to make a claim like that. I would say you should be ashamed of saying something like that but there's no point. Besides as you constantly tell people you always have me on ignore. Must be psychic, I guess. Totally agree: No hate for Kate!

And I obviously overstayed. 😜

LOVED Carter & Thomasina. And, I still think Petronia Paley is amazing.

My Rumble account has a Doug & Julie channel https://rumble.com/c/c-6551044 It also has a Classic DAYS channel https://rumble.com/c/c-6636027 Right now I am in the process of putting specific dates on 18 files 1965 & 1966 Marie, Tony, Tony's dad Craig, Ben & Addie, Julie, Mickey, Tom & Alice, etc. It includes the show's first wedding (Marie & Tony's dad) Mickey is a funny guy. He caught David kissing Julie. Julie is a brat. Ben & Addie are so different from what I recall a few years later on. Tom Horton is considered some kind of miracle diagnostician & has the title at the hospital of Senior Internist. I'm not sure about interest but I've just gotten 244 files of RoMar edits.

There was in fact a clear agenda. This kind of Twitter Blast is commonly used. Calling & writing the studio are information that is also given. A specific set of hashtags was developed & promulgated. A graphic was designed & distributed. The KRAZE NATION fanbase is not attacking Kate Mansi. Specific individuals acting on their own got into it with Kate. Members of the fanbase tried to get Kate to retire early on. Members of the fanbase praised Kate at any & all opportunities to do so. What this is, is a failure to communicate" (Cool Hand Luke) It's like people here are not actually seeing what is happening there but it's been described to them by blind persons who do not speak English.

Actually Kate is a member of the Kraze Fans List on Twi/X. And, Kate came to Twi/X and began posting, so you have it backwards.This is not a case of fans going to her IG acct & accosting her there. Uninvited, she came & said what she said. Very shortly after she was lecturing fans & telling them they were wrong. Sometimes she was correct but other times she herself was in the wrong. It was a mess. As I have tried to say, it is a minority of fans that you seem to be thinking is most fans. It is not. Obviously we do not know. Nope. Could be. And, Tom Freeman used what he knew from political campaigning & applied it to his favorite soap. But, honestly, most people are aware of fan campaigns. I mean the phrase "save our soap" is ubiquitous. If you do a simple search on those words you'll get so many hits that you will think you've lost your mind. And, fan campaigns are not limited to soaps. Now I will shut the heck up. My rose today is Cody saving James. I must award a 2nd rose, this one to Mac, for giving up his stubbornness & welcoming Cody into the family. My thorn has to be Kristina, everyone wants to be there for her but she's not there. Her only interest is doing Ava in

You said the way you & I experience soaps is apparently to you very different. That is mentioning me. I am amazed. Tom Freeman got the Seattle affiliate to put AW back on the air. BITD, working with Eddie & his AWHP, fan activism for Another World certainly not only existed but accomplished things. Of course, the actors were working with us also. But, you don't have to believe it ir you don't want to. Michael Easton, like Roger Howarth, both problematic actors held over from OLTL. Who is this Harrison fella? And, JPS has come & gone, repeatedly over the years. Is it known that he is gone for good now? I don't recall any news to that effect. I do recall that Marty, Cyrus & one other who I'm forgetting, we were told they would be resting them, off canvas.

I'm sorry. Who is it you are thinking of? I agree.

The Nielsens represent only one, out of 4, ways of watching the show. I'm more interested in GH being #2 on Hulu 2 weeks ago. And, we have no clue about people watching on abc.com or the app. Even when you look at the Nielsens GH in the demos is often ABC's best show. They always beat the ABC & NBC news shows & The Talk. They often beat The View, Today 3rd Hour & Today Hoda & Jenna. I don't think Disney cares about the CBS soaps. It's possible that the lesbian is being sacrificed on the altar of 20 weeks with less than 2 million viewers.

I don't see soaps as a crusade either although I have been involved in fan activism. But, those were specific situations. Obviously I have been a fan of many more soaps with no fan activism involved at all. Say a ratio of 47 none to 3 some. I have no idea who you are referring to unless it was one of GL's more ridiculous couples wars. To me that has nothing in common with my own experiences. I think I experience soaps pretty typically. I honestly have no idea how you do. My only other experience with fan campaigns was Last Tango in Halifax & they literally killed half of the lesbian couple in Season 3. SON is one site where I go.

"Poor Kate" does not have to do anything of the kind. She chose to speak up at this juncture & in doing so, basically she stepped in it rather than go around. As fan campaigns go, today has been rather amazing. I have personally been involved with 2 that prevailed. AW saving Donna Love. The flip side to that is that we lost Frankie Frame. Then, DAYS Alarr but in a very real way it was Fran Drescher & her people that actually got the creep fired. Today is mostly making fans feel better over the loss of yet another LGBTQ+ pairing.. Every single time this happens people tell themselves never again. But when they dangle that carrot, mostly people bite.

I believe Kayla needs a swift kick in the behind.

I believe she was at it most of the night. I think she mentioned 4 a.m. Not good for her to be at it like that. I wanted to respond to this comment specifically. One of the Kraze fans, who maintains the best YT channel on Kraze, polls people to find out how many say they discovered Kraze on her channel but then began to watch the show daily. What's encouraging is that so many say that is exactly what happened. I know some people will minimize this because it's self-reporting & there is no way to verify it. But, why would anyone lie? If it's not meaningful to them, they just probably would not fill out the form.

I would just note that by a huge majority there are positive, empowering posts being made. I know very well that the "delulu" ones stand out & get more attention & I guess that can't be helped. In Kate's last post she basically said she would no longer be commenting on this issue. I along with others had encouraged this idea much earlier.

Now that you say it, why didn't Kayla test the kids?!! Jenn was not present at that moment. But, the kids were just across town. I don't like it. Also, I hope to high heaven that Gwen is NOT involved.

THIS! ⏫ Okay, got it now. Next question. WHY? (You knew that was coming.)
