Contessa Donatella

This is technically not a spoiler but to post it in the discussion thread as speculation would just be wrong. So, someone who often knows things is suggesting that Stephanie Gatchet is the new Lulu. If so, get set to see some exciting acting! As Tammy on GL she was incredibly good. And, Laura Wright played her mother, Cassie.

Never saw this before. LOVE IT. August 5, 2022, so two years ago, Anne Heche had a horrible accident. Now we wait for the 12th, the day she died.

August 5, 2023 Albert Alarr was fired! I had an idea, kind of wild. If Theresa got all the way to the airport gate before she turned herself around & returned to Salem & the site of her ignominious crimes, what if at that gate she suddenly became afraid of running into ... GWEN!!!!

Oh, I see. So to your way of looking, GH went back on it.

Some Kraze fans have thought that OG Surrogate was lying all along. Two other things. No way Ali would have left the hospital!! Natalia attitude change way too fast!!

Yes, I am a Original Surrogate Conspiracy Theorist myself!!! Miracle baby, yeah, but the other thing, it's just the soapy goodness of it.

For some reason I thought you'd given up your vendetta against Joss. Guess not. Joss was my rose for last Friday! I think she should definitely get her butt back into pre-med. She saved Kristina's life! Also the fact that all of a sudden GH has become Flashback Central, when it typically was not before, even doing that classic where you flashback on something that happened only 30 minutes before! I will say that Sonny's flashbacks today were EXCELLENT & also Molly confronting him was, too. But, are they using flashbacks to fill in short shows? Who? Jason? Or do you mean Morgan?

I don't know if that, about Robin, was incorrect, or if it has changed. But, now she speaks glowingly about Santa Barbara & she has several Santa Barbara playlists she curates on YouTube. And, she has some really great videos!!! I was shocked when I found them, just a few months ago. If you're interested, they are easy to find.

I see this becoming a lawsuit against the owners of the Metro Court! I'm still shocked at the death of Baby Girl Tolly. At one point months ago I said I wished Kristina would miscarry. I thought they were not really writing for Kraze because all of Kristina's time was about the surrogacy. But, they didn't do that & I adjusted. Got used to the idea that the baby would exist, ya know. And, then, with Ric coming, I expected him to be supportive of Tolly versus Kristina in a custody battle. Now, I'm perplexed. However, I still find the show very watchable. Now, Morgan, is he going to tell Sonny not to jump?

The acting in this mess of a story has been superb. Me, I am shocked & I cannot figure what Ric is coming for.

In 2000 as AW fans we made videos to raise money for a bench in Central Park, a memorial to the show. Later I digitized them & have them uploaded as the Another World Fan Bench video collection. One is missing. I am looking for anyone who has a copy of the original VHS tape "Mac & Rachel" or a digital form of it. If anyone happens to have it, please holler. Otherwise, I have files for "The Lovely Ada", "Cory Christmases", and "Carl & Rachel" & "Mac & Rachel #2 & #3. 11 mp4 files. One other thing I am always looking for. I have no idea why this is so hard to find. At one point it was up on YT. The dates are March 15 & 18, 1985 & the scene is this: Felicia is driving an 18 wheeler. Wally is a passenger. That damn gorilla is in the back. The truck's brakes have completely failed & they are barreling downhill, towards Bay City. There's lots of screaming & eventually they hit Tall Boys which causes some damage. Is there anything that you are looking for?

Thanks for the tag!

No, so far, Ava is in the clear.

Yes, it's screwy. Like a tennis match. Kristina makes sense. Then, turn a corner & she does not. Back & forth. Exact same thing can be said for Tolly. They'll be on an even keel. Then, BOOM, they are in a panic. TJ was completely unfair to Alexis. She's been Switzerland this whole time. Now he mocks her, saying that not taking a side is taking Krissy's side. UNFAIR. Basically, I really like Molly, not so much TJ. My biggest fear is that the baby will be fine & Kristina will make it through but they'll tell her that she can never have any more children. Oh Lord, we can all see what would come of that.

Classic DAYS the 2nd & 3rd episode. Continuing with the first week of DAYS OF OUR LIVES. https://rumble.com/v59o9xp-days-of-our-lives-11-9-1965.html https://rumble.com/v59oakk-days-of-our-lives-11-10-1965.html I have absolutely no memory of Ben at this time. Ben & Addie are so contentious with Mickey & they are very hard on Julie but she is behaving like a brat.

Carmen Duncan's Iris! Very terribly different compared to Beverlee McKinsey's Iris. Of course, I'm not saying anything new.

A new Rumble channel, Another World Aug. 1980, consecutive days. https://rumble.com/c/c-6627085

Guess what I am watching? The Deidre Hall Story! Never Say Never: The Deidre Hall Story https://rumble.com/v5abpvo-never-say-never-the-deidre-hall-story.html

Classic DAYS episode 11-15-1965 I did not remember Addie as being so salty. https://rumble.com/v59leyi-days-of-our-lives-episode-6.html

I don't think she's obese. As of about a month ago, she was not pregnant & had put on a few pounds. I was just looking at the Episode Counts for July. If you look at the first 12 people: Sonny, Jason, Carly, Michael, Jagger, Kristina, Maxie, Nina, Ava, Anna, Joss, Natalia, Willow & Blaze/Ali. #1 All are white people. #2 This is the ensemble. #3 It matches up with the stories they are telling.

I have nothing to say about the acting except GREAT things! However, I cannot say the same about the writing. No, this storyline is a stinker. However, as long as everyone gets it that Tolly overreacted to the max. I mean, boil it down & all Kristina was doing was keeping private things, private. And, she got crucified for it. But, I will say, this story is gonna get even soapier. And, there's no way that is a bad thing.

Thank you for this. I am one who never thought Philece came up to the mark when it came to Donna Love. Anna Stuart is perfection if you ask me. I find it so amusing that someone from the show called Anna every week to say "Are you coming back yet?"

I think they get some points. First, it was a surprise. Sure there's been near constant concern & spec over something happening to someone but they did not tip their hand. Smart, and unlike them. Next, very powerful because it impacts so many people. We can also see history in it. Alexis being consoled by Mr. Mumble. Sam & the baby she lost. More of Ava being Ava. Last it's being done very soapily so hurray GH is not above getting jiggy with it. One thing I am not awarding points for is that lately we've been in a swamp of flashbacks! Why? And, especially flashbacks of things that have just happened. Has someone moved from Editing on DAYS to Editing on GH?! Call me suspicious!
