Contessa Donatella

Oh, I see. Well, it is even weirder then that they put up her author page with a new email address this past Thursday. I suppose it's a fairly confusing, chaotic place right now.

I think this is weird. On the Digest website: Wed. No author page for Stephanie Sloane. Thurs. Author page for Stephanie Sloane with new email address. Fri. Stephanie Sloane is effectively fired by having her position done away with. Sat. Author page still up & still attached to new email address. I'm going to send an email to see if it bounces. Yep, bounced. Okay, enough playing with their website.

Well, he had just said, "Do not ask me to decide between you & my brother because you won't like the answer." So, I, too, was glad that she said that she'd make the decision for him then & WALKED! Because he was giving her an ultimatum, which is something people should avoid!

So yesterday was a FINALLY kind of a day! Charlotte told Laura all about Victor's letter & her belief that her PAPA is in grave danger from Anna. Valentin told Anna that Char has been stalking her all this time & he knew & did not tell her. Anna knocked the daylights out of him! Various people, various places were talking about the shooting & blaming Anna. I guess maybe they'll get clued in next week. AND, Ned is back! NEddie is gone. Ned & Olivia are more in love with each other & stronger for what they went through.

Just curious have you now seen the rape? And for the record, I could not admire anyone any more than I do these 2 actors.

My point is that as the next in line she would automatically get tarred with this one broad brush that the anonymous accusers were using. And I was in that office at least weekly for a number of years, those years . Well, that is one way to look at it. Another is that she had a helluva long high ride, doing what she loved & now like so much in soaps, that is going by the wayside. I expect her to meet this with her cheery good-natured & optimistic perspective & bounce well. And, oh, yeah, just another Minority Rapport!

The Jossip gossip column said tons negative about both Carolyn Hinsey & Lynn Leahey also if you recall!

Yeah, dammit, that is the other shoe in the air that I've been waiting to drop. Again with the end of an era, so many great fond memories. For the record people who say she's not a nice person, apparently wouldn't recognize a nice person if they met one! Or if they went to a Yankees game with her, or were at one of her birthday parties. Much less if they were present when she had baked cupcakes for the office, or even just gossiping soaps with her because like so many of us she loves soaps as much as ... the Yankees!

Just sayin' THANK YOU, Jason, again!!

I always thought that Salem was an hour's drive from Chicago & so had access to a Great Lake. Shirely that river must go right into the Lake. THIS! 👆 Truth is being spoken! I will add that my biggest single criticism is NO IN BETWEEN. Great shows. Terrible shows. WTH is the regular day-in day-out soapy storytelling? It's MIA that's where it is!

Yesterday was just so strange! I dubbed it the Ethel Merman Memorial Alpaca Hour! NEddie & water & music & MUSE & Olivia - boring & weird. Charlotte wakes up & lies her head off & Valentin wants to discuss it but Nina says they should just be glad she's alive & awake. REALLY?! Felicia who should be doing something to support Anna is instead talking about Anna to her new friend Aunt Stella - boring. Esme went from reluctance to take money from Laura to finding an expensive apartment - boring. Finola continues to put on a Master Class in Acting & that's the only thing interesting. Well, Dante, bless his heart, has actual information! And, Lois & BLQ did have a good scene.

Okay. I will check full credits again on Monday just to see, just in case as a double check.

@JAS0N47 I happened to be jotting down all of the writers from the closing credits DAYS today & Joanna Cohen was missing. Any chance that's some kind of a glitch or fluke or is she gone?

Dayum. So awful.

Oh, I'm sorry you thought I was being rude. That was not my intention. Forgive me that It came off as disrespectful. Most people at some point along the way have used illegal means & I am not judging you! I just think, ya know, that knowledge is a good thing. I have myself accessed a google drive that is full of past episodes, years of them, and that is illegal. There is no legal way to access those past episodes but I know what I'm doing as I am doing it, if you see what I mean.

Now, I look at Anne playing Vicky pretending to be Marley on the stand in court as the ultimate in playing both. Your ranking of them relies on the writing not the acting. I don't rank Rhonda at all because I just consider her a temp.

Okay, well, you're not paying a subscription fee to Peacock, so how is it you didn't know it was illegal? Plain & simple, it is piracy, stealing. But, whatever, you know now.

Does Peacock stream DAYS episodes earlier than when? But, that doesn't matter. Peacock drops a new episode every morning at 6 eastern time. Unless there's a problem but 6 am is what is supposed to happen. There are at least 2 illegal ways to see DAYS. You're using one of them. Those 2 methods will always be later because some person is downloading the legal feed & then uploading it at these other locations. So, now have I answered your question?

And she created Alexandra Spaulding for Beverlee McKinsey. Knowing the actress & knowing the family I have a distinct appreciation for how well that was done.

Not just influenced by it, by intent they set about to pattern it after it.

Gee, I'm just now seeing this but I, too, found them MIA. This is what Pete Lemay had to say about his protégé, Douglas Marland & his rules: (The We Love Soaps Interview #5)

I really think Titan was what would be called diversified, although I don't know why that was so.

I was thinking about the Ewings & that being names of Pete's AW characters & also Carrington. Why do you think they used Pete's character names? I was also thinking about Anthony Herrera because Nov. 7, 1986 is "Hello, Barbara!" Day & I wonder if fans knew at the time that he was a deadbeat dad?

Oh, exactly, I just let it wash over me where other kinds of things I ponder.

I never thought of Countess Wilhelmina as being part of a parent company, but perhaps it was.
