Contessa Donatella

Well, don't you think it is kind of expected that people say nice things about their scene partners? But, I get you with rolling those eyes of yours! Personally I just thought that B&B had more than their share of nods. Seemed strange. Some of the others from Michael Fairman's Zoom. I don't think I am duplicating. Hope not. Eric Martsoff submitted various scenes in the custody battle & commended Stacy as his scene partner in them all & then capped it with Marlena trying to talk some sense into him! Tamara Braun: scene in the mental institution when she thought she was losing her mind. Turning the gun on the guy who tried to rape her. Easier scenes with Harris in Paris. Allison Lanier: Summer confronting Diane after her mother died. Kyle informs Summer they need a divorce. Scene with MS when she found out she was alive. I found Finola to be amusing. She said a producer Michele someone was helping her but as usual she procrastinated till the last moment & this producer threatened her, saying she had 23 hours or else! So, she did the accidental shooting of Charlotte, finding out Valentin had lied to her, an emotional scene with Sonny about her having shot this child & her breakup with Valentin. So, to me, she sounds strong. Were you at the Zoom? Mike Manning looked so good & was so interesting. I thought of you & @AbcNbc247 when he was on. He not only talked about The Bay but also Tamara & DAYS & his husband who he relies on because he is unfailingly honest with him. Fairman is very good to read comments from the chat so he got a bunch of compliments, which he sorta squirmed, was quite humble & appreciative of that part. It was endearing. Seems like a really nice guy.

She had something that was scheduled before she took the gig & she cleared her need for time off for it with Paul Rauch, then EP, and the one who got her for the gig. But then Paul was gone & regrettably Conboy was EP & he objected & things went to hell. It could have been prevented, should have been. But it wasn't a product of not being used to daytime. From all accounts Joan said that daytime people worked harder than anyone in the world but she buckled down & fit right in. At least this is what I recall.

@titan1978 Thank you so much for so much information! You said Shelley Curtis & mentally I said, "Bingo!" @janea4old Thanks for the quotes from GH60 mag!

Thanks so much. From context I had figured out most of it! It never hurts to get clarification.

I still cannot get over this picture.

I'm sorry I misunderstood part of what you said. But what you posted is still weird. As if I were touting someone as gospel? No. And I don't think anyone who watched that could have mistaken that they were trying to recreate the "magic" of Patch & Kayla at GH. So you trying to cast aspersions on some fan who thought that is very odd. Literally, everyone thought that. And your repeated contention that I desire to be the center of attention is just bullshit & it's boring. You're better than that. So, are you now going to claim that they weren't making the mistake of trying to recreate what had worked at DAYS between the two actors? I'm anxiously awaiting that answer. Well, thanks again. I'm totally turned around. Clearly I've got to go look up when the Cullitons began PC with regard to this time at GH.

1. The account was from SN's own account published in the GH60 Special Edition mag. What you have just posted is false.

Okay. Thanks for that info. I nabbed Guza only because he was HW at the time. And the anecdote about how SN was hired, contrary to what someone totally uninformed has stated here, came out of the GH60 Special Edition mag, SN's own account of the event.

Recently I had posted about the way SN was hired to play Stefan. In case it is not known, he went to a GH fan event with MBE who was already Katherine Bell & Wendy Riche came over to meet him & wanted to talk to him & the role of Stefan came out of that! So, a huge MBE/SN fan on TwiX replies that Wendy knew exactly what she was doing & what she wanted from the pair but that the writer screwed it all up. So, that has to be Guza & I admit that I thought it was fouled up from the getgo. I mean he met her by shooting her. HUH?!!

I don't know if you have ever considered this, but there is this thing called "fanfic."

John McCook was on Michael Fairman's Special last night. Begins at 26:00. He said he tried to show an arc because some people viewing do not watch the show. Described 3 scenes: 1. Relishing being back at his desk. Ridge present. The stapler is there. 2. At home, hand shaking, tells Donna he is afraid. Collapses. 3. Party. Loves this man. But he is the best designer. Finds out he was lied to. Why. How nice that is. Falls to the floor & dies. That doesn't sound like it makes sense. But that is what he said.

Ari on GH, such a great idea.

The rumor I've heard is Justus Ward's son. But, I would totally love a child of AJ & Keesha!!! So, I also hope the rumors are true! No idea that they are, though. I'm fine waiting to see. About Lulu, I understand that they do not want Emmy Rylan. Not at all! (I had no idea so many people disliked her so strongly but apparently they did!!!) Me, I did not find her objectionable. Do want Julie Berman but there's some problem. East coast? Not sure. No longer acting? Have zero idea what it is. Could possibly go for some other blonde actress. I can only think of Bree Williamson but she was already somebody, a surrogate. Can't think of her character name. But, there have to be lots of blonde actresses of the right age!!! Marci Miller! Inspired!

Rumors, yes, no more than that, but, uh-huh. Agree abt Lulu!

Markie Post, RIP but god, what a woman

An oldie but still good.

Tonight in Michael Fairman's Zoom on YT with multiple actors asking them what was in their reels. Alley Mills talked about the metal in her body & the poisoning they've written in her story. Said Chris Van Etten idea & they have actual real life occasions that this has happened. & then she said, "Thank goodness, he is still with us." and then went on to compliment the new writer that she knew from B&B before. At first I thought she meant that he is alive but then, I wondered if he is writing breakdown. That is all.

Anne Sweeney, Frons's boss out also! What is one more than a trifecta? A superfecta!

Alley Mills now.

I am totally confused. However, I personally wish that actors would submit. But, how can I not respect that they might have other ideas? And I can't imagine any way that winning an Emmy would hurt her lawsuit. As far as I can tell everything she alleges has already been proven to have happened. What is a defense against facts already established?

Huh?! Not a spoiler at all. See.

Did you see my edit?! Sounds like you should keep it.

I tend to watch anything Matt Bomer is in. (AMC, GL) It was excellent. Very very well done. Also quite true to the original.
