You're very welcome!

About Derek & Ashley, no comment. I am experimenting with a new outlook. I just am not letting anyone bother me. So far working like charm! Happy Easter & you better have had a great time. You & your husband & Elmo in the forest primeval for a week! You are living your best life! Have you caught up yet on BTG?

I now have a perfectly good copy of the 1982 Daytime Emmys, complete, and I've gotten what I want out of it. My plan is to delete it. If anyone wants a copy for themselves, PM me for a download link. Downloading files from a Mega acct is easy.

Maybe it's just me but I don't think the problem with Derek is his being isolated. At the same time I'm not letting him bother me. I'm not letting anyone bother me. Oh, darn, I thought she said she was definitely going back to work! I think staying home, alone, with no hobby or avocation is going to be a mistake. She may need a friend but more she needs something that is her own niche or thing to claim. Bill's going to use being thoroughly trounced by our tiger matriarch to his advantage?!! Best case scenario trouncing happens in private!! Bill's ego & self-confidence, sure it's strong but I don't think being humiliated in public would add. Of course that's just my match prediction.

Its Endiversary is 4-18-1975. AW Mon., Jan. 6, 1975 3-4 1 hr show began AW Mon., Mar. 5, 1979 2:30-4 1 hr to 90 min. AW Mon., Aug. 4, 1980 2-3 bk to 1 hr. So, as you can see, NO. March 5th week is really interesting. (1979) AW 1st 90 min. show. John Randolph died. GL Roger raped Holly. OLTL Karen Wolek took the stand, in a trial.

F'Abby/Cat & Jennifer/Missy are tiny! Soo, fine. Oh, Gabi is tiny, too. Lots of room! WHOA, wicked irony!

No, this is not on you. It's on me. Just keep doing what you're doing. And, remember to breathe. 🐇🐰 I have ALWAYS wondered what would have happened if the NBC affiliates had picked his soap instead of SUNSET BEACH ...

Sometimes being around y'all just gives me warm, fuzzy feelings. Anecdotally, we've got JFP, McTrash, Margaret DePriest, Leah Laiman, who else?

Okay, the penalizing can definitely head in his direction. WE GOT THIS! Gwen, Theresa, Theresa's wig, Leo of course, JoshRoman, Jennifer/Missy, F'Abby/Cat. Those are definites. Maybes: Javi, Gabi, Johnny, Rafe, OldRachel I hope you're thinking in terms of a glorious chart to show all of this!!!

Yes. Derek of Derek & Ashley.

Thank you so much for this laugh. Honest to god, can you even imagine what it would be like to meet someone like Reva & try to fit them into your day-to-day life? The black marks on her record just keep adding up. I know people who say - she got me my job - fans have no idea how hard she fought for her shows - and - as a powerful woman she taught me that women could have a space in the P&G establishment ... Meanwhile I'm thinking about the worst of the worst, the Zaslow quote! Sort of surreal.

Okay, I can get with you for a sniper but ordinary died in his sleep?!!! No, more punishment is required.

He also told me on Twitter when it was good. Basically I wrote down every word he said. Yes, to returning to write the 2 dinner parties. Not a word about anybody falling out with anyone else. (And he did talk about for just one example Marland/Potter/GL his firing Jane Elliot.)

One day there is no Dani, Anita or Vernon! Another day Dani is just a puddle that Andre chooses to deal with but no Anita or Vernon. Now, I don't intend to spoil, so that's all I'll say. Except for WELCOME BACK!!!!

IIRC there were times when he felt the suspension of disbelief was, shall we say, difficult?! Like I think one example was when he felt it would have been obvious to Ross that she had harmed, or perhaps, killed someone. I have a blog that is a fan review if you're interested. And, it was the baby of Lin Bolen, NBC Daytime exec that is represented by Faye Dunaway in the classic movie NETWORK (1976). The network expansion from half hour to an hour began as an idea of Pete Lemay's but then it went to Bolen for research & then to development. Nope. Collins knew she could work certain dates non-stop but then needed to be off for this already existing engagement but then was planning to come back as soon as it was concluded. Unfortunately - and this was short-sighted on the part of Rauch - this was informally agreed upon so not written down. Conboy completely misread the situation & took a hard line with Collins, saying the time off she wanted was out of the question, so boom, done, finished. From Collins pov she was to do a front half 3 months, do the book promo gig & return for a back half 3 months. When I learned about this little tidbit, I just shook my head. Stupid & also unnecessary. Uh, I am totally lost. WHUT?

COOL! Also very impressive.

Thanks!! Towers, got it. And, Liz, oh yeah. One interesting thing about Kim Zimmer not only not being Pam Long's first choice, but not being a choice AT ALL. Near the end of some Locher Room Zoom chat Kim tossed it out that she bet no one knew who Pam Long's first choice for Reva had been. Well, as you can imagine, we were all flabbergasted, thinking that Kim had definitely been the one & only choice by anyone for Reva. Right after, I messaged with Jill Lorie Hurst & she was just as blown away as I was. In the following days I set myself the task of figuring out who in the hell this was. I think it took me a week before I felt I had nailed it - and I had. So, on top of it was the fact that it was a tale she told on herself.

By any chance do you keep said spreadsheet as a Google doc? If you marked it READONLY you could post the link & anyone could refer to it.

Is it just me or is he really a much more mature actor?

Constance Powers? Is that the name I am reaching for? The real Helena Cassadine to my way of thinking. Also previously on CAPITOL, I think. About Liz Taylor, as Helena, in the OG L&L wedding in 1981, I really believe that at least the adult population enjoying the wedding in their minds it would have been that look, there's Liz Taylor in a cameo role, NOT, Hey, it's that evil bitch Ellen Cassadine. You know? And, yes, she did utter a curse. Now, to me, when Joan Collins took on the temp role of Alexandra on GL, it was totally different. There, and then, she was an actress playing a part. And, while I'm at it, John Conboy screwed us (the fans) out of 3 months of her.

Endless Love is a worthy flick you might want to see, also fairly soapy. Here is a recent "interesting" pic of Russell Todd. I have a question for the two of you. Would this include things like the tropes: Kill the Lesbian or Rape the Lesbian?
