Contessa Donatella

Elsewhere I said I thought they ought to cast an adult male to play grown-up Dougie & people really liked the idea but that's fans, so again it's unlikely they'd do something like that. Presumably he would now be called Doug. Sigh.

PM & MVJ: not only colleagues but very close friends, talk daily ...

So that was what the feud was over?! Which ex?

Brennan. I thought I had posted that. Maybe I didn't. They liked him but they liked the other dude better FOR Brennan.

Burton said that he expected to be staying & he found out that he wasn't. So, that is different from just his contract expiring & passively not being renewed. I've posted this before. Other people have too. The specific interview or podcast or whatever where he said it, was posted as well. So, respectfully, I disagree with you & think it means that Janet cut him loose.

Me, I don't think so. Why? 1. Cutting Burton loose. 2. Today's show.

Peacock, today's show. Oh, uh, if that is a problem for you, PM me.

I'm sure this means she's on the way to GH. What I figure is unknown is if it's to be Assoc. HW or another co-HW. @Errol I wish you could get the story on how this came about! 🤞

My favorite writers are Lemay, Labine, Curlee, Swajeski, Hurst, Mulcahey, the Dobsons, Marland, Val Jean, CCulliton, Falken Smith, Bell, Nixon & Phillips. 15. I like writers. Living but either retired or thought to be retired: Nancy Curlee, Donna Swajeski, Jill Lorie Hurst, Jerome Dobson. Carolyn Culliton. And that leaves Patrick Mulcahey & Michele Val Jean. As a GH fan how lucky do I feel today?!!

Wasn't that remarkable?!! And also special. I think that is my word for today "special". Everything about it from the full cast list to the total of 5 incredibly old flashbacks to the young actors playing vintage Tom & Alice as young people, to the writing for them & the whole day, everything was so "special." I don't think I thought we could have something like this under any circumstances these DAYS. And, I figure this must have been the first big day that was under Janet's leadership & that makes me feel ... at least somewhat hopeful. Yes, I agree, totally agree. 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩 Also agree, unbelievably so, about LEO!!! Who knew?! Such a surprise. How about that? Good writing means go, GregR, go!!! 🥂🍾🥳 And, more, having Lucas present was just so .... sorry but ... SPECIAL! Absolutely looking forward to them! Young Tom & Young Alice worked, like gangbusters! What a success! A 10 out of 10. I began to cry early on. But, then, it was so good that I stopped crying & began to laugh.

Wed., 2-21-24 inside the charred remains of Horton House Young Tom & Young Alice, Julie, Doug, Maggie, Lucas, Chad, Thomas, Leo, JTRoman, Kate, John, Marlena ... Flashback to young Lucas first calling Alice Granma. Flashback to Alice & Julie talking about when she shoplifted. Flashback to Marlena telling them about Mickey's progress after amnesia. Flashback to Alice first introducing the first 5 ornaments for Tom, Alice, Tommy, Addie & Mickey. Flashback to Alice, sad after Tom's death. What should be added?

Actually if we go with expectations, rather than harmless pipe dreams, I think they'll bring back KA so we'll have Hope & I doubt they'll do anyone else. I could be wrong. That would be great. Maybe they will include a number of flashbacks. So much time between now & then & so much could change between then & now. And, things that we have Alarr to "thank" for, well, agree that is a kind of "Never forget" situation & while we're remembering we should stay in touch with the fact that Corday made Alarr possible. The Piano Man put the Monster in power.

I would love Don Frabotta & Gloria Loring.

I love Marty. And, I did not think he was doing Cajun.

Yes, I saw a day after I posted this where he shared having been surfing over the weekend! But, I've not seen this yet, so thanks!

Love the beach. Did then. Do now.

Oops. Thanks, Robb. I should never do dates or chronology off the top of my head.

I understand now. And, I also understand about getting time to update & what you've done is remarkable & kudos & thanks! Whatever you do, whenever you do it, is not only enough it is above & beyond, well you catch my drift! And, you've just been given a tip about a lot of new information about pre-emptions in the "Ratings of xx's" threads. You're gonna love it! Thanks again for all your hard, and smart, work!

Okay, I was just surprised that anyone would remember her short tenure as Gretel Rae Cummings on OLTL compared to her 18 years playing Felicia Gallant & winning an Emmy for it, on AW! And, then, Angela Shapiro had her go by her middle name Rae Cummings & had her go from one soap to another, over all 4 soaps, looking for her long lost child taken from her at birth. But, I'm glad that her early role on OLTL made such an impression on you. And, yes, her first role was on ATWT & she had something to do with I believe David Stewart. She also co-hosted Attitudes on Lifetime & she now has a podcast.

If they did I sure don't remember it. But, when Vivian buried Carly alive there definitely was taunting. Unless you're thinking of when Stella had Marlena in the Pit. Maybe so. I don't think of them as alike but it's because the Pit was so singular. But, now, thinking about it, maybe there are similarities. The Pit was a big open space, deep hole in a building that was, I think, going to be destroyed. Someone else is likely to remember better than this.

With her you could even say she was a BBW, Big Beautiful Woman.

Didn't Horton House become a kind of a center, more than just a residence, back one June during Daytime Remembers HIV/AIDS?

My name is Donna & I am a fan of ADOOC ...
