You're right that 3.5 yrs is odd. You may have seen this but I had not, although some scenes are on other clips.

This is MUST SEE for Mother's Day!

In general whether I agree or not, I have a great appreciation of your take on the show his week, but I have one pressing question. Has Trina been told WHAT possiblity?

Bill & Olivia was one of my favorite pairings. One of the things I liked most was that they talked so much alone in bed so we got to see great eye candy from both!!! The image Soapsuds displays is one of those nights on Bill & Olivia's bed! I really truly love both Cosgrove & Chappell. So, what did I have to lose?! Never cared for Lorelei. Had no problem with NSA. However, I never stopped wishing for Bryan Buffington & Rachel Miner, so there! I also loved the Jami seduction, but I kept right on loving them until the time that GL should have won the Emmy for Tammy's death & funeral! I do not feel that Crystal requires any apology but if one is needed I will gladly sign up. And, I have all of the seasons of Venice on DVD & have watched & re-watched them over & over. But then I AM the target audience, so it is altogether fitting. As a matter of fact, when Venice launched I was one of the many fools who broke the Venice server with so many people trying to see Episode 1 all at the same time & then we proceeded to break the music distributor's server all trying to download Jen Foster's theme song, "Venice". Wow, good times breaking the Internet!!!

Just what a damn shame! Lisa Brown, so talented, gifted, nuanced, could play anything & did play everything. God bless Betty Rea for hiring her even though she was totally wrong for Morgan & she had no other job for Brown to do, because then when Douglas Marland found her in place & ready to go, he immediately declared her his muse & created both Nola & Iva. Lisa Brown, you died too young & we miss you.

I am one who is ferocious in denying couples where it began with a rape & I do not remember any rape when it comes to Jami. When & where is this supposed to have happened? And why do you consider it a rape? Jonathan never forced Tammy. If all you are speaking of is the fact that he concealed his true identity initially because of the understandable issues with Reva giving him up as a baby, how do you figure that makes it rape?

Oh, but the Manny fanbase wars have actually been invoked recently in the GH fandom especially where Trina fans are threatening the show that if they do not remake Sprina they are all going to stop watching. We have tried to tell them about PAS with JBL versus NSA realizing the firing of both PAS & NSA in 2005 & not bringing Manny back to the show until the last Bauer BBQ when they moved back to town in a huge truck & with precious Robby in tow for those last few months! And, about Cosgrove, loved him but not with either Beth or Michelle instead with Olivia.

Isn't it lovely to find two things we are in lock-step agreement about?!!!

There is a meme that says that the Bennifer wedding changed the timeline & asks what you would reset in any of your fandoms. Well, my #1 is that Danny Santos was discovered to be a grandnephew of Mike Bauer but my #2 is that Rachel Miner & Bryan Buffington are together in all ways & the promise of the youthful Bill & Michelle is realized. I won't go on to any more numbers.

Things that Ellen Weston supposedly wrote: 1. Maryanne Carruthers where an old story was retold but this time calling into question the history of 5 different male veterans of the show when they were in fact innocent. But, it was said that numerous people at the studio enjoyed Weston's friend, Carrie Nye. 2. young adults going tunneling & somehow crash through the ceiling of Danny & Michelle's apartment 3. sock puppet, enough said about that 4. Who was Reva's long lost son? Sandy or Jonathan? 5. Anything else poor Scott Bailey had to play 6. Was there a 6?

Oh, no, poor you, are you really going to suffer through ConWest?!!! At other shows John Conboy wasn't awful but at GL he certainly was & Ellen Weston is & was one of the worst HWs ever anywhere, anytime! Of course, she was only HW once, and wasn't GL lucky that they got to have that "honor"?!!! I forgot to say one thing: sock puppet.

I was wondering yesterday if she was one, too.

Not a rumor. Happened. Sexual harassment. It was decided that separating them was sufficient. It was a different time.

Good for him.

I thought they got a ton of hate mail & just caved. No?

Technically it's not still. She's lost her column at least twice. She's back. She used to have a Friday column in the New York Daily News & Digest was put to bed on Wednesday EOD. She wrote a book at probably the last time period when soaps were still big-ish. Egregiously wrong, in it she said GL was canceled in March when there were so many stories told about how stupid it was for them to announce it on April Fools' Day!!!

This is the state of my current "Never Got an Emmy" file. Victoria Wyndham AW Beverlee McKinsey AW, GL Joel Crothers many Denise Alexander AW, DOOL, GH Anna Stuart AW, GL, GH, DOC, AMC Forrest Compton Sharon Rose Gabet AW, EON Joe Gallison AW, DOOL Fiona Hutchson OLTL, GL Brynn Thayer OLTL Andrea Evans OLTL, Y&R Leslie Charleson GH, LIAMST Brad Maule GH Maureen Garrett GL, RH Mary Stuart GL, SFT Constance Ford AW & older Eileen Fulton ATWT Barbara Rodell AW

Well, speaking of those toxic fanbases, I am sick to death of them. Fortunately I have many of them blocked. The other day some of them decided that what we need is a queer on the writing team. Well, when I stopped laughing I posted letting them know that Patrick Mulcahey is gay & then SourceRyan added that Scott Sickles is, too. So, I presume we reached them. Facts count. Oh, a bunch of Sprina's fans want Shannon Peace back. I don't even go there.

Susan Sullivan has recently battled cancer. I think she posted that she's beaten it.

Mona, you make me laugh! I actually thought, oh this old news, how can I say it without saying it!!! It worked.

Lau had problems. Attitude, demons, addictions. After AMC they said that ole thing about never working again. Then AW & after it was said again. But, he did rehab & martial arts & lost the "tude & dropped some pounds & beat his addictions & the better self has always looked really fine.

One time Basic Black had a launch of some clothing & it was pointedly in print so Bella, the magazine that was published by Titan, .... and I just stayed confused!!!

This is supposedly a really big old-style Quartermaine wedding. Then add in the Cerullos & have it now be so much less Covid precautions & the whole danged town may be there!!! But, specifically Portia & Curtis, I have not a single clue. Trina should be there as Lois invited her at the bachelorette 'do, both her & Joss. I am fairly confused. I thought that they had canceled the Coney Island trip but apparently not.

In 2000 & 2001 June 23-26th Larry Lau then looked 300% better than he had when he was on the show! It's great that he is still looking hale & hearty!!! James Fairbanks said he told Anna Stuart how much he enjoyed her as Mary Smythe on AMC. (I did, too, she played Greenlee's mother!!!) He said that she enjoyed it so much also but that Susan Lucci was not having it! I have no idea what that was about. Hmm.
