Contessa Donatella

I just saw this & I liked it. Maybe you will like it too. You do not have to attend every argument you are invited to. It seems to me to be a suitable adage for today's internet.

The thing I like most about this story is that no one is really "the bad guy". It's possible to see what motivated different people. You can think things through from so many different points of view! Yes, I get it that half the town is going to be furious with Lois & a good chunk of people are gonna blame Lulu but I really think this story is amazing.

Well, I very rarely cry during my soaps but today, Michael's appearance, Wiley seeing him & crying out, "Daddy!" & him & Michael running to each other, well, I am weeping copiously!!!

Thanks so much!!!

Also Jamie posted that Drake had made a recording of his voice for the fans during the last days for him, and he did it for the story being told. Fans, as you can imagine, are so very moved by his doing this. It is truly going over & beyond.

"It is wonderful that you figured out who you want to love." - Dani to her daughter Chelsea, BTG, 5-21-25 Chelsea, stung from a recent rejection, had a strong reaction to seeing her mother kiss her best friend Pamela, passionately. She took it as a sign of disrespect of WLW from her mother. Dani, of course, had not meant it to be so. As a result of this Dani & her daughter had a fairly long involved discussion. You see Chelsea recently & for the first time has offered her heart to this woman she had been in a threesome with. But she had realized that she now had new & quite serious feelings for the wife but not for her husband. Of course this had become a problem. If anything in a threesome is against the rules, falling in love with one but not the other, is.

I agree, also am able to see various points of view. Lulu, Lois & I think the two of them are going to rival one another for the heat they are going to take.

This makes Karen, now this & a guy on Facebook named Brent Costel. Sony is really deleting so many files.

Tracy is going to be excited but only if she is no longer under arrest. Where is Marty when he is needed?! But, in case he is truly out of pocket, then where the dickens is Scott Baldwin? Scotty, Tracy needs you. And you know how she is.

I think Lulu has had a point. Gio is Rocco's half-brother. Rocco is Lulu's son. And, she is still in love with Dante. She tried to get Brook Lynn to be forthcoming. Then she gave Lois the same chance. It was an accident that the two women were screaming at each other enough so that Gio heard every single stinking word they said.

Yes, that is what I was asking you!!! Do you think primetime or a movie will snap him up? I always enjoyed the live music on DAYS. In similar fashion I am open to liking the NB although sometimes it disappointed in the effort but this year has been so satisfying.

YES to all of this! I have seen some fans refer to this as having either low stakes or no stakes & I think the stakes are & have been HUGE!!! I feel so for Gio right now & I'm sure he thinks everyone knows & feels angry, confused & betrayed. The list of people who are going to be mad at Lois is long. The list of people who are going to be mad at Lulu, not as long, but, exists likely. And, Gio did such a good job!! What in the world was Lois thinking would be accomplished by getting Brook Lynn to leave the premises NOW?!! "Ladies & gentlemen, I'm going to do something I've never done before. I'm going to dedicate this to my parents - Brook Lynn Quartermaine & Dante Falconieri. Two people who didn't want me. They didn't claim me. They gave me away & lied to me my entire life." - Gio Palmieri, GH, 5-22-25

I am really bugged by the exterior shot that is gates & the only reason is because of the gates for Beyond The Gates.

I think that's why we don't have it every year. The reason for it is not as worthy as it once was. Last year we had a wedding instead. I don't remember 2 years back. Obviously that is pitiful. Do you recall? Also, Gio seems genuinely like a nice guy. Sawandi, same. Sawandi's supposed to be wearing a newish male piece of jewelry, a man brooch. And, if that name doesn't sound odd, I don't know what does. Guessing it's a pin that a man can wear.

And, Dani's focus, whoa, when she deigns to really pay attention, her focus is laser sharp. And, Chelsea is a natural attention seeking target for Dani. She is so much more mother than I realized before.

Ranger, will you be his champion?! Tell Dante to back the he&l off? Be there for him in the coming days when he is going to be furious & possibly turn his back on the Cerullos & the Qs & show up at Sonny's door looking for a new place to park his weary head? As for me, I watched the NB every year even when I wasn't watching GH. Many years have been disappointing. So far this year is amazingly satisfying. Clothes! Performers! Drama! So ironic that they actually have Cam doing what we always said he should be doing, emcee, tux, mic, huge toothy grin! Snark! Could they possibly throw any more shade? Nooo! This is like 100% attitude coming from all directions. You could say I died & went to heaven. Gimme all this high school talent show soapy goodness, I mean, it's only 4 days, what kind of wimp are you, anyway? As soap fans, we are supposed to enjoy these occasional flights of fancy. Maybe you aren't, but I sure as he&l am! And, I won't let any Debbie Downers ruin it for me, either. This brief early morning message was brought to you by the letter N for what else Nurses Ball. Edit to add: Didn't we see Sawandi really dancing in a preview?!!! And, as a Kristina lover, I think we are def headed to either Ferncliff or some other similar facility. Meanwhile Mansi & NLG their scenes yesterday AMAZING, that's acting. The point being that y'all Kristina haters are gonna get your way.

https://www.vulture.com/2018/06/day-of-compassion-aids-tv-special-history.html In the spring of 1992, One Life to Live sent two of its newest characters on a collision course. The small fictional town of Llanview could be a tough place to be queer, and as rumors began to circulate about young Billy Douglas (Ryan Phillippe, in his first-ever screen role), Reverend Andrew Carpenter (Wortham Krimmer) was a rare sympathetic ear for the teenager. Some Llanview residents eventually opened their minds and put aside their bigotries, though Billy’s father wouldn’t do the same, and the story line culminated in Reverend Carpenter bringing a portion of the Names Project AIDS Memorial Quilt to Llanview, to which he added a panel for his brother, a gay man who died from AIDS-related complications. Watching from home, a young actor named Neil Tadken was inspired. HIV had been decimating marginalized populations (particularly queer people of color, trans people, and sex workers) for over a decade, but it was still mostly taboo in scripted television. If One Life to Live could bring the AIDS crisis to the airwaves, why couldn’t more shows? And why not all at once? Tadken began writing letters and making phone calls, and a year later, on June 21, 1993, the Day of Compassion was born: a day where AIDS and HIV-related programming could be found on multiple daytime TV shows across multiple channels. This Pride month marks the 25th anniversary of the project. [See the link for the rest. Too long to paste in.]

I assume no commentary is required. Oh, hell, here is my girl Dani in a totally different & new pose, may it reappear with some frequency. One question: did any of us have any idea what kind of special friends Pamela & Dani really were? Upon reflection just yesterday Dani said, " I need time to figure out the kind of woman I am." What are we to make of this? Is this the kind of woman she has figured out? If so, odd that it only took a day.

When I corrected Beverlee McKinsey's IMDb record it took me 4 attempts & an email to someone involved in their editorial process. But, I was successful, so keep a good thought. That you can show she is deceased at the time should make it easier.

I'm really glad that Michael saw that ridiculous kiss.
