Contessa Donatella

But, if you recall, when Kate & Kayla & Marlena all 3 "died" Dee was sans makeup for about 20 days. I recall in an interview her saying that she loved it, not having to spend the time in Hair & Makeup. But MTS, of course, took it to a whole new level this past year. Genie is just personal preferences for a roomy blazer & it always has to be plain black.

I am so impressed that you two recall Mae's last name!

Just an observation. When people do not know each other & a specific minority opinion is stated & restated, essentially taking a very dead horse & beating it to death again & again, then, it can happen that it can seem as if people are, in fact, being trolled. That it can be in error, well, when gentle souls say sorry & cool, & all fine now, there's no reason to then beat that to death.

What makes me concerned but interested is that Marland is between Lemay & Mulcahey. Lemay didn't care for Marland's "rules". Probably there were things about Pete that rattled Douglas.

The point is this was a set-up, to be as soapy as possible. Kristina as a character was fulfilling her part of the drama & there were nods to hormones & that she couldn't know how she would feel ahead of time. Tolly also was doing some fulfilling. There had to be this yin yang or no story. A famous curvy cartoon character said it wasn't her fault, she was just drawn this way. This goes double for TJ, Molly & Kristina!!! I mean, my god, Blaze even told her they were not ready to make any sudden changes.

This week is the anniversary of Anne Heche's tragic accident followed by her death. I remind myself that she gave life to about 9 people through donating her organs. I also did some basic math & came up with 35 years that we had the gift of Anne among us. (2022-1987) This is a recent picture of her boys. I don't know if you know it or not, but her estate is being sued for about 6 times more money than exists. Her boys will get nothing but at least they can't be liable for the debt.

Yes, it's important, also appropriate, that his motive be a venal one & nothing altruistic, Good point.

GH Th. 8-8 My rose today is Jason Morgan. I love that man. He can size up a situation faster & more thoroughly than anyone else on earth. My thorn has to be CVE being back as co-HW. The cobalt poisoning angle was his idea. I am now concerned that Heather will be set free.

@carolineg On Paramount+ I watched all of their Star Trek shows. Especially liked PICARD & the one about Strange Worlds, I think is the title. DISCOVERY was okay. I had watched THE GOOD WIFE. Now I have also caught up with THE GOOD FIGHT. And, new from them, ELSBETH. Back to the subject of trolls, do they hand out stock posts? Boilerplate? If not, isn't it wacky that they post the same things?!

I wish I could. I mean, sure, sometimes I can if it's that obvious.

Sorry, he did not. It is a well-kept secret who created Kraze. That is because it came about during the strike & the individual who thought them up doesn't want to get in hot water with the WGA. We, Kraze fans, even have a graphic showing the Kraze creator as a mystery man. We often post thanking him, whoever he is. 😉

If you think that about Kraze, then can you possibly explain to me how they have screwed up so badly right now. I mean, GMAB, do they need a lesbian consultant to the writing team? There is NO WAY Ali (Blaze) would have left the hospital with Kristina in ICU & the OR!!! Do only Kraze fans see how ridiculous the current situation is?

The other day when Theresa returned, saying she intended to face the music I thought what actually happened probably went like this. Theresa was standing at the gate, ready to board, when suddenly she had a premonition of ... GWEN! And, she fled in haste. That's my theory & I'm sticking to it.

We just had the anniversary of Alarr's firing. I am not sure why I know that, but I do.

You could be right. In that perspective then it was NBC who wanted the damn story, At the very least we got a fabulous masked ball out of it. Now, I am serious about going back ON topic.

Yes, she is. Retired, I mean. I had a conversation with her that literally blew my mind. It was about "Lumina" at the end of AW. She said, "Yes, Lumina, Leah & I wrote that together. (I agreed with her.) And, then she dropped this, "It was weird." MY GOD, of course it was but if the two of them knew that, at the time, why in Fuque did they write the damned thing? Who wanted it? Sounds like they didn't & the fans certainly DID NOT. Anyway, Off-topic, sorry. No, most of us certainly Are Not. Total agreement about Peacock, James Caan, VM choices but I find more to watch than you do on Paramount+. I'll try to think of titles.

Mona, Paul Rauch was EP the entire time Claire & her family attempted to HW GL. That is both before he fired them & after he asked them to return. Meanwhile Rauch shot down every thing she pitched. Of that time, I am sure it was a miserable one, she once said that the only thing she got to write that she liked was that cigarette girl, Mae. Which just goes to show how pitiful a time it was for Labine.

Joe Willmore was just there having a meal with them & I think it was supper not lunch. KZ & Long did what was apparently their usual which was to take totally opposing sides on some aspect of an upcoming Reva scene & verbally wage vicious war till someone won & they hugged it out & loved each other. Apparently somewhere in the middle of the process Joe excused himself & went outside & vomited. But, I could be wrong. It might've been lunch. This is not why I'm here! Guess what showed up in my FB Memories today! AUGUST 7, 2020 GL copyright strike on YouTube! ALL GL gone! Including all of Bandstand Mike! He had 2 hard drives full of episodes. 1984-1996 and 1997-2009. He used to sell them for $200 per HD. Only thing was he never delivered. People felt safe buying from him because it was known that he had all those episodes because they were up on YT. HA! What was his real name? A question: Who knows of any great YT clips that show off Stephanie Gaschet (Tammy Winslow)?

And, so you prove that old adage that practice makes perfect! Imagine! Peacock was pissing us off with Beaver & now they're giving us shared pleasure with Vanessa! And the British dame, her, too.

Well, I don't think you'll get even the teensiest bit of disagreement about it being stupid. I still to this day point to Ellen Wheeler digging in her heels that she had to have Peter Simon for Ed Bauer & no one else would do & valuable months were wasted & then the story was floated with no Ed which damaged the story. And I am an Ellen Wheeler fan. Same issue, Frank, stupid is as stupid does.

It may very well be crazy but what you need to understand is that it is VERY Frank. It really is a Frank thing *but* he can change his mind. And, I'm hoping that's what has just happened on LuluMustBePlayedByJMB. I floated both Marci Miller and Stephanie Gaschet months ago!!! My fingers are firmly crossed. Of course, the writing has to be there.

See, basically I hate Sonny, always have. That's why I belong to the Sonny ABC club ... Anyone But Carly! And, then, you go & do one of these posts & I remember, dammit I liked him with Brenda. How is that even remotely possible? I don't know how but I do know it's your fault! So there. I was so tickled last night after I watched DAYS it wasn't Leave It To Beaver that came on. It was Vanessa in Vegas!

There was definitely a stupid rumor that they had been fired because they went out on strike & so were suing because of that but honestly, that's just stupidity. It was definitely thought that Dan was going to sue them in some wrongful termination setting which I do not see any way it could exist because they can be fired for cause any contract cycle date with most people having 13 week cycles. (Some have 26 week cycles. Those are preferential contracts. I'm sure none of these writers had one.) And cause could be as flimsy as bad ratings. So, here we are. (As Dorothy Parker would say) Because of Korte I feel good about Jarly, Carly & Jason. Because of Van Etten I feel bad about Heather. Because of the evidence onscreen I feel bad about Kraze - new. Because of the evidence onscreen I feel bad about POC. I've just seen a poster praise Ava for saving Donna's life. If she'd really consumed a handful of actual lithium, it's true, it could've killed her. I mean she took enough to get a stomach ache. That would've been enough in a child that small. That they were placebos saved her life. Without meaning to Ava did something right. Because of the evidence onscreen, suddenly, I feel good about Sonny, which I don't think I've ever typed those words before. Frankly, I'm confused.

I also would kill for this particular tea.

Isn't that weird? I recall them using a lot more words than that!
