And, somehow Steve/Kalya got an oral sex implied scene past the censors.

Yabbut how long between Ava & Taylor? Lexie was another character but years before. What is different now is the back to back nature.

LIFETIME: "Ladies of the 80's: A Diva's Christmas"
Just looking at the picture ... Morgan Fairchild played the lead Racine, in Paper Dolls, and Nicolette Sheridan was introduced in that show. And, another thing, this year during PRIDE I learned that Linda Gray was the first person to play a transgender character in a Norman Lear primetime soap that I would kill to get to see, All That Glitters & I believe it was as early as 1977.

Anne's still got one movie out but this appearance was a surprise. I watched it on Amazon Prime Video. ALL RISE, "Woman Trouble". I believe it will be up on Hulu next week. She was very good, so good I forgot we don't have her anymore. https://ew.com/tv/all-rise-pays-tribute-to-anne-heche-during-her-final-tv-appearance

Yep. 1986-88 OUR HOUSE. Only part of that time was double duty though. I think 86-87 doing both, then, 87-88 just primetime, then back on DAYS in 1991.

It's just like they think this is a repertory company where any player could be played by one of the other players on any given day for whatever cockamamie reason some exec 'thunk up on the spur of the moment.

ALL: The niche potential for streaming classic soaps
It is amazing to me that Disney has as many soaps as P&G! They each have 7 by my count. But, reboot? No, it won't happen. If it were going to it would've had to be years before now. That time has just passed. Streaming classic episodes is at least a possibility, even if not likely.

And, if companies went the YouTube route it has in place the chance for monetization which might defray some of their expenses in digitizing and curating. So far the B&B example shows great organization & even an elegance to the channel they've created.

ALL: The niche potential for streaming classic soaps
Y&R has a classic feed up on Pluto but it begins with 2018 & is Mal Young's HW tenure. B&B has its own YouTube channel beginning with full quality episodes from the very beginning, literally first episode. Well organized. GH has a classic feed up but it begins in 2018. I believe it is called GH Spotlight & is on abc.com. DOC is "on the air" on RetroTV. Apparently the last few years, the NBC produced years, are MIA. Also they are removing the copyright credit line. Reason unknown. Makes it difficult to date some episodes. NEIGHBOURS: Amazon on both their Prime Video and on their free ad-supported FreeVee channel are streaming classic episodes of NEIGHBOURS. On FreeVee via Roku, for example, they are showing what they call Season 2012. On Amazon Prime under "Iconic Episodes" they are streaming what they call Season 1000 (1987) You can get FreeVee on your Rokus but you will have to go through the Add Channel process. OLTL: The Prospect Park OLTL reboot web episodes are now being streamed on AppleTV and are available on ITunes as well. They are half hour long. DARK SHADOWS, all 1225 episodes are streaming on FreeVee. DALLAS, 1978, 13 seasons on FreeVee, Amazon Prime, AppleTV, VuDu & Google Play. DYNASTY, 1981, 10 seasons (None have all 10 seasons. Check JustWatch.com ) Amazon Prime, AppleTV, VuDu, Google Play & Pluto. NEWS: As of this month, Sept. 2023 Amazon is streaming new episodes of NEIGHBOURS. NEWS: Hulu is streaming current CORONATION STREET 12 days behind. NEWS: TITANS, 1 season, FreeVee FALCON CREST, 9 seasons, 227 episodes 9 seasons, FreeVee 4 seasons each, Apple & Amazon 3 seasons, Google Play MELROSE PLACE, 1992, 7 seasons 7 seasons each, Prime Video, Apple, Paramount Plus, Google Play & VuDu 5 seasons, Amazon BEVERLY HILLS, 90210, 10 seasons 10 seasons each, Prime Video, Paramount Plus, Pluto 2 seasons, Hulu 1 seasons, Apple, Amazon, VuDu, Google Play Fans complain about the generic music.

Characters Without a Fanbase
Oh like most of the on-set things said about him? Yeah, okay. Everything that's he's been rumored to have done at AMC isn't true but he's an easy target and scapegoat. Maybe you should just say specifically what you dispute? Isn't everyone on board that he told the actors to forget about their character's history? And he was going to be shaking things up? And that Ehlers was promised a story with Ricky Paull & then not given it? Are you aware of a LOT of things that you suspect are specious?

Yep, that's it. Option 2. It is even better. Yeah, that's what I was concerned about. She really was judgmental & then she let Talia leave without giving her a referral. I wasn't shocked that she put 2 and 2 together. And, she didn't even try to smooth over what was an uncomfortable confrontation. Bedside manner score a double F!

Did anyone else think the scene between Marlena & Talia was very strange?! How is it she concluded Talia had slept with Shawn? Belle told her that Shawn had crashed at Jada's and Talia told her she got drunk & slept with a married man? Was that it? Sometimes Salem is far too small a town! I was surprised she didn't give Talia a referral. So, Andrew as savior? Do we have any reason to think the show would book him some more episodes? Do we know anything about Martha's schedule? I'm very annoyed at seeing EOB in the credits for both roles! I think PP is a better than average actor & then he is amazingly good-looking but his character is an absolute skeeze. I am so tired of Leo that I'm tired of saying so!
