Contessa Donatella

Haven't seen it or heard it. Here are the RUMORS I have heard. One is a whopper. Spoiler Danny accidentally shoots Jake but he does not die. Michael Easton is out at his next cycle date. Gregory lives long enough to give his whatever-it-is at the wedding but dies soon after. (I mean, everyone thinks this!) Next, ridiculous: Molly dies. Battle for custody between Kristina & TJ.

Alley Mills flat out said it was Chris's idea, that he knew of a RL case where a conviction was overturned & she also said that they cannot tell stories like this unless they are true, which astonished me. That last part, I mean. If she's right, I'm amazed. Of course, actors do not always get things right, which is why I'm sure we all keep grains of sand on hand! I wanted to share this picture, from the bachelor party, looks like BTS. I'm dying laughing at where Drew's hands are! Whoa, down boy.

I just think it's all about positioning. Someone has to be on Sonny's side, so that's Avery who doesn't count, Dante & Kristina. (And Ava.) But, it's awkward where most of the writing is not. However, in real life it *would* be awkward. So, I'm okay. The only thing is it seems like a rewrite of Kristina who used to know what Sonny did & does & now acts clueless. I don't have a handle on that unless it actually is a rewrite & this is not the Mob Princess that Lexie played?

I don't understand why he & Jason have not run into each other. His dancing, check, that's not dancing by anyone's definition. It was just stupid. Just realized that Tracy twerked!

Kim Delaney had another bad DUI which likely means her drinking is out of control again, so that's probably why she stopped appearing as Jackie, which would mean recasting to have a mom for Chase, which, sure, could be done. I just have no idea if they would fool with it or not. But, I don't think it's exactly an issue of forgetting. What rumors?!! I'm totally lost & I've not seen anyone discussing any rumors & the only rumors I've heard have nothing to do with anything anyone's said here for 2 days.

It ain't pretty, that's for sure.

And, they very well may not! In spite of the oh so checkered past. Here's two clips from last Friday. 4-19-24. First the adlibbed hug & then just the full closing credits, since it's nice to have them every once in awhile. https://youtu.be/Fj9wGvoW4e4 https://youtu.be/VKzXVsY2eGA

Yep, true enough about Brad. But, Gati Tweets (K. Gati) who plays Liesl Obrecht has been in Europe making a movie & now she is back. So she was unavailable for several months & now she is available again. Becky Herbst, why? So much history where they tried to fire her before, etc. Only reason.

Unless her fans screw things up for her, which is a very real possibility, I do not think Trina is in any danger of being let go or recast. Probably the POC are all quite safe, although they might do what they did with Marshall & move them from contract to recurring. My guesses on unsafe people would include: Finn, Violet, Cody Bell, Sasha, Lucy, Brad, Liesl, Terry, Amy, Scott & Liz, which could impact her sons. We already know that Gregory will not be here after sometime in the next month. Everyone expects his character to die during Sweeps.

Ari, Colleen & Melody Thomas Scott. But, we don't know if Ari submitted. Colleen did. I imagine Y&R submitted MTS but don't actually know.

I just saw the doors being shut. No one had any nails in hand. Just tidier than a bunch of doors hanging open! Never/ever, if even possible, someone would have to pound in some nails! Big nails!

Actually, I thought he was a bit better today, not that that is saying a lot. Probably today he was better because fighting with LW/Carly elevates him a bit. But, he was still the least of what I thought was a great day, a day like soaps used to be. Also feels like a day when they're setting up for something, which I guess is Sweeps. Also I felt like they closed some doors. Door #1, CarSon slammed shut. Door #2 JaSam shut. Door #3 Sona with a full Memorial montage including her memories of icky Cowboy Mike of NF also slammed shut. Nina signed & sent the divorce papers & took off her rings & is having them messengered to Sonny. And, finally, they gave us more of an idea of what is going on in Mob Princess Ava's head. Like some of us called it, it began with her desire for the familiarity of power, includes full legitimacy with Avery & now she's starting to have feelings for Sonny. Jason brought Danny home to his mother & still the first thing Sam said was an accusation of Jason as if he'd done something wrong, which he had not. Jason very reasonably talked about boundaries with Danny & honesty with his mom but Sam wouldn't go along, still stuck on this fallacy that Danny inherited wildness from Jason. Jason is the way he is because of a TBI not his genes. Sam continues to tow this narrow line. We know from Danny that he's not going to let her keep him from Jason. So good that Ava took the gloves off & stopped being mealy-mouthed sweetness. Both Steve Burton (podcast) & Laura Wright (new Digest article) mentioned that they hold back in rehearsal to save the good stuff for tape. Last week when Carly hugged Jason after he gave her the MC, that was unscripted. Again today Maxie was so good even though I am uncomfortable about the job they're doing on Lucy. But it is thrilling to see Maxie both last week & now today seem to hit at least a couple of base hits if not a homer. I f found it amusing that last week Finn was dismayed that the Savoy was booked for a private party so the guys couldn't have it. The gals are!

Robin Strasser was posting as usual last week on TwiX but not about this. And, today, ...

It was extremely convoluted. The necklace had remnants of the Ice Princess imbedded in it. So, in that sense it dated back to 'Luke & Laura Save the World with their friends'. It turned up in contemporary time when Valentin was impersonating a Frenchman & Jennifer Smith got the drop on him. And, then it came back up when Cody Bell was trying to make a claim & perjured himself to try it because he knew he was not old Leo's son. And he had to be to get the inheritance. So now he doesn't want to get in trouble over his perjury or worse, a charge of fraud, etc. I cannot remember how Britta came into it, but you're right, she did. Now Victor wanted it & got it having to do with his cockamamie plan to save half the earth by killing half of it. No idea what happened to it.

I just did a poll in my forum on the new writing. These things are automatically of limited value because the votes self-select & the group size is not large enough but I find the proportions interesting. People were to vote for anything they felt was accurate, true or that they agreed with.

Those of you who don't like it when I talk about things I've heard are going to be pleased because that is over. Those of you who mistakenly think I seek attention are going to have to entertain reverse pleasure. You, jerk, who always thinks I am making things up, take that. Something I said was too accurate & got back to Frank with my name attached to it & I now have more attention than I ever have had & I effin hate it. I have no idea what. But now there is a studio-wide crackdown on leaks. Severe. Think Threat Level High. I figure it was from here because this is the only place I become stupid & say too much. OH! Those of you who don't like me, well y'all get to have a party. That is all.

Meg Bennett died April 11 following a battle with cancer. She was 75. https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/meg-bennett-dead-young-and-restless-1235878548/ I find myself swearing, loudly. oh, and [!@#$%^&*] CANCER.

Never ever did I 'evah think of you as any kind of a joke!!! NO WAY. Right now I'm behind on DAYS & am finding it impossible to catch up! I just know to be careful posting with you because sometimes you are behind & you are spoiler-averse.

It seems like you're up to date on GH now, rather than behind. True? Is that because the day-to-day show is so much better? 🤔🙄😲😎😁👊🫰💯

Here's a reply I got on TwiX. I asked my good friend Mark & he said this guy would know but he didn't know if he was at liberty to say. Then this guy replied. I can't interpret because I'm not familiar with the show. Perhaps someone here can expand. Ed Kane Chandler @JasperTylerKane Replying to @MarkHToo @shallotpeel and @wlwspider Ep 1 - hair in food at cafe; lost dog; proposal in the woods (Guy Pearce) Ep 2 - guy with dog gets dumped; paternity of son of 2 lesbians My friend Mark has now added that these are "SOLID EPISODES" & also that maybe they can figure out the episode numbers since they are available on Amazon FREEVEE & people could watch the episodes!
