MUST FOLLOW: Weekly Spoiler Embargoes
The people I know who get the GH "Next Week" previews, also called Spoilers, get them after the show, not during, not before. I am speaking of after the show, Friday, eastern time. And, also they are literally afraid when they see others posting ahead of time. Just outlining what happens with one outlet. Sounds like they, like you, are in good shape. And, really, why does anyone need them before they're supposed to have them?

In Loving Memory: Ruth Buzzi (Letitia Bradford on DAYS, 1983)
Jason, thank you so much & I was just speaking of you earlier. I was saying we need to throw a cyber party with some special invited guests. You were one of them! Not because you are brilliant, even though you are, but because you are kind. And we appreciate you, really we do.

GH: May 2025 Discussion Thread
I'm not counting on Drew AT ALL. But, I don't think he will think of Nina & I KNOW he would never think of NIna & Carly in league against him. Just goes to show how out of touch he really is and he really is. i'm not so sure unless you mean Tracy tearing Lois another orifice. Talk about furious, we are really going to get to witness the impending storm. I may even feel for Lois .... No, I won't. But it was anice thought for a moment. I cannot seem to spare any sympathy for Willow, Drew, Lois, Brook Lynn, Chase, what a list, huh?

I'm very much afraid that she is. But, I am hoping it will be temporary. I mean where's their proof? There isn't any. Innocence will win out, I think anyway.

It's the best episode ... in months.

Fortunately she's got probably a good bit in the can already!!! LOL! I saw this item earlier in the day. I guess she was not on contract. I put this under spoiler space for you.

Jason, can you give me those dates, pretty please? If so, I'll do an edit of her. She was such a delight.

ALL: General Retro Soap Discussion
Well, if you add that one caveat, oddly, it disqualifies Renee. Because she is one person who was both the planner (if you will) and also the "evil" revealer. Weird but that is THE difference. And it's the only difference. But, sure, I think those words make it unique. THE REVEALER CONVINCES HER TARGET TO HOST THE EVENT. Right? Well, if we nitpick The Revealer used her secret agent to convince their target to do this shindig. Yes. That's it. Because Leslie/Sheila/Sherry/Dana/Leslie/Mom didn't do it by herself. She HAD to have Eva doing her part. Okay, run with that. And, why not discuss it here? It's topical.

ALL: General Retro Soap Discussion
Well, in a way DAYS "Renee Dumonde DiMera Threw a Party & Invited Everyone & Then Told the Whole Town Off" if you see what I mean. She definitely pretended that she was throwing this shindig for a pleasant reason while she KNEW her real intent wasn't pleasant AT ALL. And, everyone in Salem was targeted by her in this way. I mean it was supposedly a celebration of her engagement. But, that is not what happened! I think it checks off all your boxes. And, before today I would definitely have called it "singular". There was nothing like it. Now, there's something not only similar but possibly .... more far-reaching? I was just struck by a thought. When MVJ was tasked to write a catfight, she wrote the best catfight that has ever existed. I'm not sure but what if she's done it again?!!

It's okay. Will be just as good whenever you pull yourself up to some screen! It's not like they're going to spoil or get cold & have to be zapped or that the ice is all going to melt. LOL!! Okay, I'm just making it worse ... so sorry. I'll just tiptoe out ....

GH: May 2025 Discussion Thread
Today I fully appreciate Rocco - for the first time! "In case you can't tell, we're freshmen." He has got it going on in that brain of his! Yeah, but I've been having trouble with Brook Lynn, I guess, for 2 weeks now. God bless Tracy Angelica Quartermaine! How can that woman, seemingly so rigid, so dug-in, turn on a dime the way she just did?!!! Of course, Danny is way glib for his age! "My brother is an Introverted Extrovert." Hilarious! And, the thing that shocked me, and really just rocked me back ... Dante has been IN LOVE with Lulu this whole time. He never stopped being in love with her!!! No, I did not see that coming. Kudos to the GH Team today!!

DAYS: April 2025 Episode Rankings & Stats
The answer I was looking for is "he is Elvis Aron Banks Jr. " which is what I thought was the case but I was too unsure to say so!!!! Thanks, as always. I mean, there is NO Elvis Aron Banks Sr. so there was no real need for Susan to make him a Junior!!! But, she seems to have her own way of doing, just about everything, which is okay.

Okay, after reflecting on Mucas overnight, I suggest we cut to the chase & call them SNOT You have to admit that it would be different!

2025: The Directors and Writers Thread
Okay, I hear ya. But, you know Josh Griffith on one Thursday night fired 7 or 8 writers in one fell swoop! That totally blew my mind. But, I still think this is bunk. And, no, the show is not that bad! Literally, my only problem with it, as a fan, is that I think it could be great & it's just not. It's good, not great. They still are not on top of pacing. They routinely take too long to tell stories. But, one example, the scenes this week with Lulu & Laura were like old time soap come home!

2025: The Directors and Writers Thread
So early this morning, what I'm calling a crazy fan rumor, saying that the whole GH writing team is being replaced, wholesale, which I frankly don't believe. Wouldn't even post it except to warn others, y'all, since you also may see it, read it, etc. Of course what we will do is what we always do, watch the credits & find out what happens WHEN IT HAPPENS!!!

DAYS: May 2025 Discussion Thread
Well, I thought it was very exciting. The storm, the vehicles in trouble, at the hospital, that weird guy calling Jen, IzzyB very pregnant & also medically having problems & I thought they did a great job with the storm F/X. Even Alice helping at the hospital. Of course I always hated Tracy M. She just wasn't Carrie to me.

https://www.instagram.com/p/DJJTEW8J5EA/ 1989 Daytime Emmys Victoria Wyndham gives moving tribute to Douglas Watson, AW's Mac Cory Harding "Pete" Lemay created the character Mac Cory & then Doug Watson played him for 15 years. When Doug died on May 1st, 1989, it was a huge loss to the show, the other actors & also to the fans.
