Alarr was scheduled to direct 8-4 & now will not.

Kristen had a great line about being bad form texting your boyfriend when you're about to marry the woman of your dreams. Next Th. it might be interesting to see her & Brady before a judge. That's all I got.

True. Also good idea. It was Noel. I thought he'd lost it. Didn't seem to want the right info. My mistake. Really just thought he was on a tangent. Sorry to basically waste time & bandwidth. Bad morning. I am truly sick at heart. At this link you will find Ken Corday quotes about soaps. I believe he once revered soaps. I wonder when he got so lost. https://paste.plurk.com/show/7t1p7Tv2wws1CCJyrWh6/https://

Oh, I know this isn't Al Alarr. I was giving the man what he asked for. Alan Carr?!! 🤔🙄😲🤫😜🙃 Not the lout, weasel, abuser, cheat, manipulator, sexual deviant, possible homophobe ... (He said the show was getting too gay.)

@Liberty City Thank you. Loved the OG Charlotte being back. Loved how poignant her dialog was. @carolineg Me either. Rocko could walk up & I'd just be hmm?

Yeah, it seemed like everything about those shows was done on the cheap. She also claimed to have been a former fan of both AMC & RH, which may be true.

I wondered why Dante took Charlotte but not Rocko. I am loving all of the scenes with Ava & Sonny. They could literally do the phone book & occupy 20 minutes! Also that pink blouse was so lovely.

I don't know but I appreciate your suspicions! There was a lot of aggression & a lot of factual errors. One of them said "The WGA will be looking into this." Tweeted to him with the link where the WGA lists Fi-Core writers. Suggested maybe look it up. Oh no, they did not need to look anything up . They knew everything. One of them said "Fi-Core writers are only enabled to write for non-union projects." Gently corrected the error. They said you can't be for the strike & for our soaps. Explained how it's possible to hold both those ideas in your head at once. Got called a hypocrite. All over though. I guess they blocked all of us & we blocked all of them. I even tweeted about the 1963 court case. Uninterested. If it was manufactured wouldn't they have known more facts?

Never heard this phrase. Love it.

A somewhat interesting article about soaps, Fi-Core, Lisa Ann Walter, etc. I'm not familiar with this site. First I've heard of it was this morning. https://showsnob.com/2023/07/26/hollywood-is-putting-soap-operas-on-blast-amid-strike/

Not having to be on hold waiting to talk to a doctor's office! Such quick results. I find them so helpful! Of course that wouldn't have worked for the soap story.

Is it just me or is it interesting that this latest came from a Peacock rep & not from Ken!! Okay, been talking to someone who periodically knows behind the scenes true stuff at DAYS & I have 3 things to pass on. 1. Alarr's been doing this stuff for 8 years. 2. His casting couch is legendary. 3. He is why we lost "Allie" so abruptly. I'm just sick at heart.

Thank you, Jason for that explanation!

Alan Carr, comedy festival, 2007 Happy to oblige a liar. https://freespoke.com/search/web?q=Alan+Carr

Loved that show, also nice place in NJ.

Not an expert on amnios or on genetic testing to check out your upcoming offspring but pretty much an expert on docs & hospitals & stuff like test results & these days I'd do it all & get it all through the Patient portal.

The 1984 Summer Olympics were held from July 28 to August 12, 1984 in Los Angeles, California, United States1. The 1988 Summer Olympics were held from September 17 to October 2, 1988 in Seoul, South Korea1.

Well, there is much we may never know for sure unless someone writes the book of it! But what I heard was that it was definitely Ari Zucker. We have to take what is heard with a grain of salt. And @Gina90 Someone at the studio who absolutely knows let me know that "Try to remember when you were young and beautiful." was NOT said to Ari. Now they declined to tell me who it is but that's okay. I appreciate quite enough that they made a point to tell me I had wrong info. That was really great of them. Now stand by for people to come point & say LOOK WRONG. After you pay attention to them you'll be free to continue your weekend. 📋✅

I would say that DAYS has always had realism in their friend & family relationships. No not realistic in how bizarrely people are kin to each other. But, in how they react to each other & that the family & friend business is still retained. Sometimes a good day is only good because of the conversation between & among family or friends.

@carolineg Never. Not anyone. I didn't like it with Carrie & Marlena. On AW didn't like it with Rachel, Mac, Sandy , Blane! Totally dislike!

Shout out to Richard Bloore, Costume Designer, DAYS! All 3 dresses were fabulous! I did not like Leo's suit but it does look like something he would wear. Loved Kristen's line, to Dimitri: "You know, they say it's bad form to text with your boyfriend on your wedding day when you're about to marry the woman of your dreams."

Respectfully, did you lose a word? You didn't mean to say, "some* of the fans on social media ..." Or do you actually mean to indict all fans, even the ones who are being respectful & are being supportive even in the heat of the moment?

Yeah, thanks for saying so. Not easy to talk about. The hallucination is actually a pretty good story. Repetitive, this big-headed person would come & stand over me & leer down at me & lean forward toward me menacing. So I would ball up my right hand into a fist & hit it in the face until it would go away. Success!

Some specific things happened at AW that no doubt contributed to the show's demise. May 1, 1989 Doug Watson dropped dead of a massive heart attack in the middle of an exercise class. Deaths like that are always hard on a show but in this case it was devastating. The writers had 18 months of story that focused on the anniversary of Cory Publishing & featured Doug plus Rachel's identity was all wrapped up in being Mrs. Mac Cory. Massive rewriting was required & out of it came a mysterious object tied to Mac's death onscreen, the Red Swan, which became one of those phrases fans hate to hear. The NBC affiliates were the first to "go renegade" & Seattle began that by dropping the show on a random Monday morning in Oct. 1993. AW fan activism was born in the person of Tom Freeman. Eventually KING-TV put the show back on the air. JFP's tenure was 1995-96 & she was largely hated by the online fans. (Of course after her they also hated Savitz.) Jill fired 11 people & spent a small fortune on a new opening & a new set. She didn't understand the previous locales she said. Of course her new block set meant all story had to be about either the hospital, the cop shop, Carlino's restuarant or the newspaper because that's what now existed as "Town." AW stories had not been focused that way before. Then she & HW Margaret DePriest did the Fax Neuman serial killer & Frankie's gruesome death came out of that. Many long-time fans quit the show over that. She also mounted this huge story where she broke up John & Sharlene, pairing John with Felicia. Fans hated it. But she got the ratings up but couldn't keep them up & she won a few Emmys. Just typical Jill. Behind the scenes NBC & P&G were frequently battling each other in disagreements about how to handle the show. NBC wanted AW to be more like DAYS. NBC wanted to get rid of Victoria entirely. Once the show had a popular romantic pairing in Carl & Rachel & someone (not known who) decided to fire Charles Keating. The online fans liked Goutman & put their faith in him. Until what I call the most hated finale in all soap history.
