Contessa Donatella

Recently I re-read 2 interviews in one night. Tony Geary & Jerry verDorn. The juxtaposition was a huge part of my reaction. Geary's perspective was that his scripts should be nothing but dialogue & he would interpret everything else. Stage directions specifically offended him. verDorn said that if a director like Bruce S. Barry told you to move from here to there at this point you do not say (mocking) what is my motivation for the movement. No, it's your job. Move. Figure out in your own damn mind why.

Yes, I understood the point you were making.

Paul Rauch, a company man if ever there was one, argued AGAINST GL doing the clone. And I would suggest that it's not like the twins because it's more like science fiction & also is based on an immoral act.

I was totally against the second location, San Cristobal, bel, bol. (AW & DAYS have it too.) but to me, the clone is worse.

So sorry about the lousy week. But glad we agree. She's deserved it. At the moment, I cannot stand her writing. Tell me of any red-blooded lesbian who would leave the hospital when her dearest is in ICU?!!! Are you doing a riff on "We'll always have Paris." Because if so, I'd like a word with the management.

I figured out that we had Anne with us from July 1987 till Aug. 11, 2022 so for 35 years & I can be grateful for that.

Just had them with a cheeseburger.

I find myself having petty frustrations with some of the people there. I was in a Spaces the other night & someone claimed that when some entity had done an article on Sweeney returning briefly as Sami Brady that they said she was the daughter of John & Marlena. I asked which site. They had no idea. I checked 3 & didn't find the error. Someone posted that an actor was leaving GH. I asked if it was Rumor or News. To them it was all the same thing. Meh.

OH! Okay. Now I see. It was me who was lost. Now all found. I really like Martha in the role. To me she just seems to fit. Looks & seems like Marlena's daughter. If they brought her back I'd like to see her & EJ paired again. I don't know why but she & Shawn just don't seem to work anymore. Maybe too much cheating.

Today is August 11th & in 2009, 15 years ago, in Peapack, NJ, GL had their last tape day. And, after the last shot was in the can, Ellen Wheeler, on a megaphone, conducted a roll call, the name of each & every member of the cast & the crew, was called out, one by one, and they came forward when their name was called & people clapped & there was a sweetness to the moment but also it was bittersweet, of course.

Hey, girl, you lost!!! This is a DAYS thread. And, while I'm here. The jewelry confused me no end. Was the bracelet Chad found & asked about supposed to be THE bracelet or was it just one of a number of pieces of stolen jewelry?

Totally agree about DAYS BTS especially back then, possibly less so today. That's looking at the sunny side of the street.

No problem, not at all. Absolutely! It's interesting to me that Kate Mansi didn't want to sign a contract at DAYS & just did so at GH. Arguably, though, Kristina is a much better character, not a better person mind you, but definitely a better character to play. Some entity just gave him Performer of the Week. I thought it well deserved.

Never have I ever seen such fabulous, amazing acting in support of such a poorly written story!

Fortunately we do not have to concern our pretty little heads about it. NLG tried & if she couldn't get a commitment to hiring her back, then, it's safe to say she ain't coming back at least as long as current mgmt, is managing.

ARGH! Must you remind us?!!! 4 Mollys in 4 months, thank you, Haley Pullos. Have fun coming up with $8,000 to pay to the guy you smashed headfirst into. Something Holiday, wasn't it?

I think on all of this I may occupy the most Minority Rapport statuses ever & that is because I am not convinced that Kristina was going to take the baby. Was it going to come up? God, yes. Has anything ever been more obvious? But, I could see Tolly & Krissy working it out. Now, Blaze still MIA from the hospital, I blame four-square on the LGBTQ+ writing totally losing its mind. I have volunteered, loudly & often to be the new lesbian consultant to the writers. They need one terribly badly. What they have written is simply not credible. No lesbian EVER would have left that hospital! OJ, chicken soup, discussions of low blood sugar & sudden praise for forward movement by Natalia on attitude? GMAB! Too much, too soon, with very little to show for it. Then, as if it needed a topping added they scared the fandom half to death on a late Friday. Yes, Virginia, there may be a Santa Claus but Kraze is not breaking up, contrary to previews showing Natalia being stupid, but what else is new? Yabbut, all of that existed & then pulled a plot event out of their hat. The OG surrogate appeared claiming to have lost the baby. Molly panicked!

Presumably Louise Sorel is on that coast because of the Lane Davies sponsored Santa Barbara 40th anniversary shindig. How wonderful is it that she took time out to go see friends at DAYS while in the vicinity!!!!

Thank you. Briefly was concerned for my marbles.

Not JUST his extensive drag wardobe either. The guy is a clothes horse.

Someone on Twi/X indicated we are about to see an What do you have on your bingo card?

Now, I am confused. I thought Poplar Bluff was in Missouri. But, it's really in Montana?

Hmmm. Possibly you are right about that. LGBTQ+ characters can end up being politicized. It would be a PITA if lesbian Kristina had one wild night of passion with Sexy Dexy & instead of being thoughtful about it the fans rioted!!!! Truly it would be a delightful thing to happen to Joss! Makes me laugh.

I'm not sure how to say this. But, it's not like it's impossible for a lesbian to have sex with a man. Usually don't. True. But, can, could. I get that if she is fluid, then it multiplies her potential partners.
