Contessa Donatella

You have such a facility for saying just the right thing.

I ... Well, I don't think I feel embarrassment. But, it's very true that I still miss it. Think of it so often. Hard to talk about.

25 years ago today 4-12-99 #SoapKiller Susan D. Lee, having called MADD back from vacation, jumping ahead of schedule, announced the cancelation of Another World (NBC), which had at that time higher ratings than both PC (ABC) and Sunset Beach (NBC). 4-12-24 #9 AW 2.4 #10 PC 2.2 #11 BEACH 1.7 Then in July 1999 PSSN 1.9 (Debut) PSSN Ratings: 1.9, 2.4, 2.2, 2.1, 2.0, 1.9, 1.6, 1.5

GH 4-12 Breakdown today was Suzanne Flynn.

The shows were so slow to react. It began with a preliminary hearing. And, you could tell from it what the trial was going to be like. The shows should have tried soap news at 5 of the hour from jump. Instead that idea took forever. And, the idea of broadcasting at 1 am also was a long time coming. I remember on Prodigy & on Delphi Digest trying to get ideas from the fans.

You know, Vee, since I recently took you off of Ignore, one thing has surprised me. How very much we agree. I mean about the show, of course. I'm not into posting about other posters.

Once again, Vee, you seem to show over & over that you have no insight into me. But, of course, you say that you keep me on Ignore, so how would you? Thanks so much for inquiring about how I use the Ignore feature. It is so gratifying that you care. And, the idea of something one writes being refreshing, yes, I would love to read that from you. Obviously you enjoy criticizing other people, being a bully, upholding your decades-long reputation. Me, I don't care much for posting about other posters. Gee, thanks for that advice. I had no idea. Yeah, right.

Now, this is humor. There was never any question about the fictional dress.

I saw all of this the same as you. I'm not sure what your point is. But, indeed Lila's dress exists in a few ways. Fictionally it was used in story. Physically it didn't exist any more. Wardrobe made a recreation of it & that exists physically.

Lila's original dress does not exist. Wardrobe recreated it earlier this year. So it is only a fictional dress that they deemed unsalvageable & stole its lace.

Okay, I knew all that. I didn't have a problem with them using just the lace. I imagine the lace was the best part! If it's in any kind of shape at all, antique lace is pretty incredible. Thanks for the reply.

Did I miss something? What I've heard about the chosen gown is that it looks great & Amanda looks great in it. What happened today to the fictional dress story that made it for no reason? Isn't the reason that she gets to wear it & it has a sentimental & historical significance to her? I guess her gown could double as her something borrowed even. If anything comes of it I hope it is only a fling. OMG! You wouldn't believe the files on Nina that I have! I just enjoy watching them play subtext. Speaking of Jason, Spoiler tomorrow he gives Carly something. I think it is half of the Metro Court. The big question is which half?!!!

I thought that was just to get him over the crisis. I don't think it continued.

🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨 Stephen Schnetzer far right.

Where is Drake?

I am one of the fans who is completely against this & I know that my viewing will be negatively impacted by her presence. There's no way it won't pull me right out of the moment. I'm four-square against it on principal but it also has a personal component. This should be about the character & bringing MR into it makes it about the person. And since she has been both homophobic & racist this impact hits many fans. However, I have said that although I am posting about it I do not intend to make a complaint to either the studio or to Peacock. I will say my piece & then accept that the decision has been made.

GH 4-11-24 3rd consecutive day with Breakdown listed, this time Emily Culliton.

I was asked what is it that is wrong with Sonny if it's not his meds: Let's see, what is wrong with Sonny. This is gonna take a list you know? Settle in, take awhile. Egotistical, misogynistic, narcissistic, paranoid, not well educated, more a doer than a thinker, mean, Napoleonic complex, physically short in stature, stupid, a good cook, dimples, skillsets a barman, a chef or a restauranteur, oh yes, coffee connoisseur. Oh, I left out "known for his sauce" only that sounds dirty. I believe that is it. I would've said that the show goes out of its way to make it clear that the Jesus of Port Charles is actually Sonny.

Oh, and "Livi" acted so badly toward Carly when she thought that Jason had shot Dante. Then, without anything remotely like an apology she shows up whining to Carly about Nina firing someone & waving paint swatches around, claiming Nina could not identify the color yellow! Apparently PM/Korte have a more colorful personality in mind for Olivia! It was a tad weird. Carly's fixation on the lack of working ice machines was a little bit hilarious. But her insistence on taking care of JJJS was at least true to character. If someone is in need & there's no one else available, Carly's enemy list seems to vanish.

Well, let me inform you then. He was flirting with Carly. Carly was flirting right back. I can see maybe a fling there. But she'd have no more time for JJJS than that! Agree that we now know Valentin & Ava are not working together. Had thought perhaps they were. I keep wondering what they will hold back for May Sweeps.

Pretty much think that deal is done. I watched the 3 week preliminary hearing, skipped the whole trial, caught the stupid verdict.

Yes, I objected to this idea of a quarter dose rather than just swap for a lookalike placebo. Sonny would definitely notice if his pills looked different. Although if it were a capsule filled with granules that would make this quarter dose thing work. Looked like a capsule but, again, they showed us the label! Okay, good, at least that's a working theory. And I meant to mention, very nice negligee. Plus, Ava's new 'do looks better now on the second day. Since this is a soap, these things matter.

She definitely took a muscle relaxer. Looked like she took 3. And, that should've knocked her out. Didn't. So, something is definitely up. Plus, yeah, why is Sonny taking that? And where were those all important bipolar meds?! These are very valid questions & they lack answers! Also, while we're at it, where in the hell was Sonny in the middle of the night?! Seems like those were quarter doses of this blasted muscle relaxer. Also, why wouldn't Ava have grabbed her phone & googled what the drug was? We have no reason prior to this to think that Ava is stupid!

Isn't it interesting how often that is said about special stories!
