Contessa Donatella

Mel was a good actress, character, family member & pairing for a Bauer. They worked.

What two? What four?

Brook Lynn is telling Ali that she must do this tour. Natalia is telling her the same. Even Kristina has said so. In the previews for today, we see Ali saying to someone, "You're fired!" I think that is Natalia & I also think it's a sign that she is simply refusing at this time when she strongly feels that Kristina needs her, to go to Japan to start a long tour. Maybe Ali is finally going to find her own courage & maybe some stubbornness. We do know that they are not breaking up.

I've been thinking. I know you have reasons why MOL should not have been Rick. However, to me I just bet that Mikey was such a member of the GL family that the actors abilities or lack thereof did not matter.

Very good ideas.

OMG! The show was so bad. All of the Body & Soul was very terrible. Then the Connie crapola was worse than usual. Then, oh no Good Times comes on.

Class act fits him so totally to a tee. Also a gifted, nuanced actor One of Ellen Wheeler's blunders was taking him off contract & putting him on recurring.

Thanks for that info. I thought that NBC's interest only lasted as long as it was a broadcast entity. And I knew that CBS had acquired all of the Spelling. I was slightly startled last month when Jerome Dobson mentioned talks about streaming Santa Barbara. Once they sold to New World, their vested interest was no longer.

Missed the part where I said they wouldn't tell me WHAT THEY KNOW, did you? Actually the only tea was that Frank was angry & that informed his recent comments. Sounds like common sense to me.

I have no idea. What exactly comprises an upper tier?

Pretty smart. The boys sat talking, bare chests, one was massaging the other's shoulder, while they talked. Massage led to stopping talking & doing other things, Well, at least one other.

My rose today was Ali/Blaze for finally getting her butt in the chair beside Kristina's ICU bed. My thorn goes to Willow for doing a 180, an about face, to give up her new career & go back to Nursing. This is given especially because I think she is doing it because she is afraid of temptation. Sasha as the Q family chef never bothered me. The writing was & has continued to be solid. However, discussing this reminds me I still so badly think this cast needs to be trimmed! Mention was made today of "the experiment" I might be more inclined to call it "The Miracle". I have recently been told by someone who will not tell me what it is that he knows that there are 4 different versions of what happened behind the scenes & my version is one of them. I've got some things right, but not all. I find this maddening.

No reason to hurry. Oh, I have a question to anyone here. Presumably we are all (maybe) looking at a price increase & also looking at our annual date. Is anyone dropping Peacock Premie? And if so, what is your plan?

Disney also owns Santa Barbara. Speaking of SB, I cannot believe I left it off my list. OY. NBC owns Generations, half of Sunset Beach, all of Passions. DAYS is owned by Corday & Sony but has a contractual agreement with Peacock. Sony owns half of Y&R. Corday also owns 1% of Y&R.

The sum total enjoyment I have gotten out of this iteration so far at least is Hattie (who I do not like) calling Bonnie (who I do not like) her ex-cellmate, "Bon" & then delivering the line, "For the love of pickled herring, .." That is pretty damn thin & is not going to hold me for very long.

I don't necessarily think anything that shows up on a wiki has been vetted. And, about Tristan, I know that when they had the last day-long photo shoot, he opted not to come in. He didn't feel like driving from Palm Springs just to have photos made. I do not think this was a good sign as far as his involvement goes.

You have hit the nail on the head!!! This is exactly the problem. Respect? Where is it?

Capitol is not listed, an oversight. I left off Santa Barbara. OY. Passions is not listed, intentional. I have no idea how I would deal with the year of 90 minute AWs. Also the years of 45 min. ABC soaps. One thing I would really want that I didn't figure out are shows like Soap, Mary Hartman, Dirty Sexy Money & other serialized parodies of soaps. I would like to include a section of vintage soaps, the oldest examples that could be found.

Quite honestly, at the very beginning with it, I found it clever. But, after say 3 weeks, that was enough. Now, trying to revisit it again is way too much of it. I'm not even sure if I'm going to watch it. I now find it cringe-worthy. UGH.

If I were in charge of a streaming soap opera classic channel this is the schedule I would begin with. Half hour shows in an hour timeslot will be 2 episodes. M-F 8-Another World 9-Guiding Light 10-As the World Turns 11-Ryan's Hope 12-All My Children 1-One Life to Live 2-Port Charles 3-The City 4-Days of Our Lives 5-General Hospital 6-Young & Restless 7-Bold & Beautiful 8-Search for Tomorrow 9-Loving 10-Edge of Night 11-Dark Shadows Sat. 8-Paper Dolls 9-Flamingo Raod 10-Dante's Cove 11-Melrose Place 12-Beverly Hills 90210 1-Kindred, the Embraced 2-Central Park West 3-The Monroes 4-Models Inc. 5-Pacific Palisades 6-Hollywood Heights 7-Dallas 8-Dynasty 9-Knots Landing 1o-Falcon Crest 11-The Bay Sun. - Talk shows, Interviews, awards shows, specials Held for future airing: Generations, Sunset Beach, Where the Heart Is, The Secret Storm, Love of Life, Neighbours, Coronation Street, EastEnders

There are people who disliking Sonny as much as they do, who indeed do want Donna done away with, and the dimples for them just make it worse.Me, generally I am not into killing of children, although we do know I have called for Violet and sometimes Charlotte to meet that end! Yeah, that whole time when we weren't sure who Belle's papa was, it was important that she had been with both men. What a slut! Do we even know if she grabbed a shower in between?

Oh I see. I get it now. I had conflated the two boinks into one event. Those horny devils did the deed twice. Naturally Marlena would not know which was the crescendo.

IMO they never should have sent Chloe away. Eh, Jeanie? Theresa? I thought her conception took place on a table in the Titan plane. They were in a conference room instead? I swear in my old age I think I'm losing it.
