Contessa Donatella

I am one who is in love with Genie's facial expressions! Yesterday when she was trying her damnedest to be patient with Heather, I thought, "Her head is just about to explode!" And instantly I wished I had a GIF of just that! I agree about Jason not having a romantic pairing. Also I think it applies for awhile for Carly. Also agree: Keesha. Looked him up & Steve Burton has 2 Emmys - one for JasonM/Supporting Actor & one for his role on Y&R.

Me, I'm with you! "GATES" works for me. We doan need no steenkin THEs!

But, years ago, when it was offered, most of those Qs were probably pretty frontburner. Evaluating it now, when it's not a thing, really has no meaning. But, in the past possibly it would have been very relevant. But, again, he wouldn't have become JasonQ, he'd have been JasonNu or JasonUnknown. But, I do agree that it makes no sense now & I don't think anyone thinks it would either. I think responsible gun owners never miss a chance to teach responsible gun ownership. Jason saw Danny looking at the gun & he gave what I thought was an excellent parental reaction.

You mean "gates" cause that would be not capitalizing it?!

I consider SISTERS a soap, too!

I remarked elsewhere yesterday that if LC were available this entire dynamic would be different. John, this is not a rumor. This is known. Although your phrasing ot it is a bit off. He was offered the opportunity to play what might have won him an Emmy, that of some miracle medical tech healing his TBI & restoring him to a whole person whose brain would work 100% & also like other people's brains work. He declined. Often actors have the opportunity to say they do or don't choose to do certain stories. But, if you add to that his complaining that he had too many lines to learn at DAYS, then I think it means he is a lazy actor & he likes the monosyllabic Jason M. One small point. If he did it he wouldn't become Jason Q, he'd become some new creature a combo of a fixed brain & JasonQ's memories & JasonM's life experiences. I refer to him as Jason Q/M. And, this was years ago that it was offered to him. 1. It's not Frank. It's either his assistant or their social media person Jason or someone posting as if they were Frank. 2. Wasn't that particular one absolutely hilarious?!!!

As event after event happened, in real time it was just excruciating to me! As a family they had the luck of Job.

Not ALL. I've seen 3 other actors. Finola was one. Can't think who else right now. But, she is doing the lion's share, for sure. Not so much that, as it is fanbase wars. Look at her username. Liason x number of years.

GATES is definitely preferable to TG! I've already seen both #THEGATES or #TheGates or just #GATES. I've only seen TG here. Also easy to get to GatesNation but not TGNation. One looks good, the other not.

🤔🙄😲🙃🤣😉

For a long while I was not interested in the tweens & teens & frankly couldn't necessarily tell which was which. But now they've caught my interest. Before of the kids, I liked James, Leo & Donna. Period. As I'm sure everyone knows & did & still do detest Violet. I dream of her being in a car with her Grandpa & there being a terrible accident leaving them both dead. Or of Hayden coming & getting the child & going away with her! Now I find I am feeling interest in Danny, Jake, Aidan & Rocco. I'd like to meet Tobias. I love that the boys have crushes on Blaze. I left out Scout & Avery & Georgie. They're just beige to me. I left out Charlotte. That was on purpose. It's weird to me that besides Donna I only like boys.

Several years ago I got extremely interested in these kinds of errors & in correcting them when possible. The first thing was this idea that Beverlee McKinsey was the first to receive star billing on a soap, when actually she was the last one to do so. No one has gotten star billing since she did in 1980 on "Texas." I have found a handful of instances that pre-date that. Very early "DAYS" Macdonald Carey, "Bright Promise" Dana Andrews, both "AMC" & "How To Survive a Marriage" Rosemary Prinz, and the earliest we've found is 1951's "Miss Susan." I thought about posting this today because it is an anniversary for "Miss Susan" which began on March 12, 1951. I include this below primarily because the video is extremely rare. An excerpt from a blog on star billing: Besides this blog, issued & distributed, with 3 versions so far, I also corrected the information on Beverlee McKinsey's IMDb & wikipedia pages. If you try to correct something like this in those places, be ready to persevere. The IMDb took 4 attempts & wikipedia took 3, with editing of the submission in between tries.

I have been pleasantly surprised. First thing, right off, Steve Burton brought it to the table in a way I have never seen him do. There were tears in his eyes threatening to spill out. There was a catch in his voice. LW was bringing it, too. This is all one very very long day & night. Backing up, we saw him first on the roof, at a skylight, where his seeming partner was setting up, sniper style, to shoot Sonny. We saw Jason jostle the sniper's arm just at the moment of the kill shot. So we know he saved Sonny at that moment. Later we learned that Sonny literally has a hole in his jacket. That's how close a call it was. Down on the dock suddenly there are Feds & PCPD everywhere. A raid! Chase & Dante give way running after two persons they see up on the roof. Dante tells Chase to wait there for back-up & pursues alone. Two shots ring out. Dante falls. Jason comes back. Shoots his partner as his partner shoots him. Jason administers emergency first aid to Dante & calls 911. When he heard the sirens he leaves but he leaves the phone, still on with the 911 operator, by Dante's body. So, we know Jason has returned as a savior. Joss & Sexy Dexy arrive & take in the scene. Can tell someone had already begun to take care of Dante. They pick it up from there. So, when Chase arrives, they are doing chest compressions & rescue breathing. Paramedics arrive. They take Dante. Anna & IAmJohn have questions for Chase & for Jex. IAmJohn finds a camera. They trace the camera to Spinelli. At Spinelli's Closet he & Maxie have just seen a ghost on the footage. JASON! The Feds & cops knock loudly on the closet door. Although they try to resist they end up giving the footage to the cops/Feds.

Well, there is a fan theory that when we last saw her she was lying in a hospital bed & it appeared to them that she was breathing, if shallowly. Then the theory continues that Liesl has her spirited off somewhere to keep her till she can cure her. Then the Memorial, where there was no body, was a sham. ... But, yes, Britt is dead. Her picture is up on that wall outside the hospital chapel. She saved Joss from an attack by The Hook but succumbed to it herself. Liesl and Brad & I took her death really hard.

OMG! That is hilarious!

That's what I was asking.

So, wait, John was just being John? I didn't see this & have only heard loud accusations as if they were fact of Ava taking advantage of John. I thought was some hook. Also thought the day was good - but also quite odd. And what does it take for a DAYS to be odd?!! And, I don't honestly see much dislike of Ava. To me, it's more like civil neutrality. There's no joviality, no small talk but they did go back for her & also untied her. As for Angel Lexie I would have preferred they'd gone another way. Not very effective, if you ask me. But it's done. Over. Kaput. The use of ASL was to me the best of the day. So clever, very intelligent. But Tate was a close second. He was great!

I knew you meant Todd. I'm sure others did too. Now that you mention Sarah I remember that she was very VERY sexy with MB. Saw none of this. Possibly a successful pairing without romantic chem. like some arranged marriages in dynastic relationships. I'm under the impression that MB has input into her pairings, or not. And I don't get how anyone could bring Ric up.

I've only ever liked Sonny with 2 people. Obviously one is Brenda & the reasons are equally obvious. The other one is LW/Carly & that is because she creates the family relationship that makes Sonny more that family man thing. Sonny loves kids. Carly is good with kids. I have no idea what to call that kind of chem.

I have intentionally blocked all of this out. I've just uploaded AW clips that may be of interest.

Carly's not there anymore. That was Young Immature Carly. Today's model is older & more mature.

I agree but apparently both Frank & Nathan Varni disagree. It seems that they really really like ME. (Or so it is said & said.) I cannot keep "Maple Syrup Lovin'" out of my head anytime they have a scene & that makes me just overcome with nausea. But, if they insist on keeping him, why don't they do something with his hair?!! I know, I know, but hair matters on soaps! And the only thing wrong with NuJagger is his hair. Wasn't today excellent?! I definitely had the Qs on my Bingo card but not the boathouse?!! What do you wanna bet it is one of the teens who finds Jason tomorrow.? I'm backing Danny. Since he's hurt & at the boat house maybe Danny knows Willow is a nurse. I thought Carly would kick Drewfus to the curb within 10 days of Jason's return. Looks like I picked the wrong one to do the breaking up! Nothing I've said is a spoiler. Just spec. I think you're right. Too soon to judge her career-wise.
