Already tired of it, also bored with it. So, here's a nice lady in a hat.

Well, Frank has Covid. Maybe there's a cognitive function symptom?

DAYS of Stayla's Christmas Past

And then Richard Hatch came back again to play yet another role in Battlestar Galactica the reboot!

I was one of several who welcomed her to Georgia.

Now here's a favorite!

Click. Ideas fall into place. THINK! It takes 18 minutes to watch an episode of this show. DAYS between 31 and the longest ever, 52 min.

The show had a persistent problem because of the rape & I thought it was pretty stellar of them to bring it out into the light of day & deal with it. And I thought the story Michele Val Jean wrote about Luke raping Laura & Liz's stranger rape & Lucky getting all bound up in empathy for Liz & Nik thinking that was his moment to deliver a comeuppance & told Lucky about Luke raping Laura, was pretty brilliant. What would you have had them do? But, you are correct that they couldn't put that Genie back into that lamp. I was reading notes from conversations with Patrick Mulcahey recent-ish & I have underlined, "Do not write that Luke kisses Laura."

Today someone tried to convince me that Melissa Claire Eagan & Michelle Stafford split the vote & that's how Jaqueline MacInnes Wood won her 3rd statue. Could easily have been. I have long believed that Victoria Wyndham & Beverlee McKinsey split the vote, allowing Irene Daily to win the Best Actress Emmy! (And then VW & Bev went to the nearest place that served liquor & proceeded to get drunk together, they were so disgusted.)

Okay, I just found 2017 Daytime Emmys & it shows one Lifetime Achievement Award only & that is Mary Hart. Now Chat GPT apologizes & says they were wrong.

I cannot find it to confirm it. Been at it off & on. I have no memory of this at all! April 30, 2017 NO BROADCAST.

Intentionally graphic, brutal, using odd-angle shots, at home in her own shower, a violent stranger & he was so rough with her that she nearly drowned besides being raped. Then you'd think there's no way it could get any worse but her rapist was revealed to be her OB/GYN.

I know from the scuttlebutt that there is ONE problem, at least. No one knows who the scab writers had as the buyer for Wyndemere.

I did not realize he was on V. Now I like him.

This was truly rare. Scott McKinsey, Beverlee's son, had it but he didn't know what he had & I asked his permission to check it out & it is an amazing find. Now Scott says this is her most candid & also most entertaining interview. This guy was called the Canadian Dick Cavett!

Well, is there any way we can make that an homage to Roman Brady falling off a cliff in Oct. 1984? (Just brainstorming.)

Oh love it! If you do love Beverlee, you MUST see her City Lights interview. So funny! https://www.facebook.com/scottmckinsey/videos/10224621908925295

It's just so wonderful that on soap forums there have to be "minor" corrections like this. 🙃🤣😉

I signed. Okay, I'll go sign. While you're there take 2 more minutes & sign my petition for Beverlee McKinsey, please!! https://chng.it/9s22wzb7rF

So, there you have it. At B&B it is an insult. At DAYS & GH it is a fact of life. Unsure about it at Y&R. I do know that Eileen Davidson is only interested in working, at Y&R or at DAYS, for short-term arcs.

Okay, ChatGPT says I am wrong & that Irna was posthumously given the Emmy Lifetime Achievement Award in 2017. Eventually I will go to the emmy website & check to see if that is true. If it is, thank god!
