Contessa Donatella

I keep thinking that broadcast TV, which has been on the decline as long as the soaps have, since the 80s, is going to fail. But I can't visualize what that looks like. And, I keep thinking that streaming is the future but they are having such awful growing pains. So much not to know, there is.

I nominate Lahoma.

I invited some other F'ANNEs to contribute to my Anne Heche was statement.

I've only seen the promo with Dee in it, so none of those, thank god & also no ... Alex!

The text on the YT promo finally says exactly what needs saying: Days of our Lives Stream Days of our Lives exclusively on @PeacockTV beginning Monday September 12th. A special $1.99 per month offer (for 12 months) begins on September 1 for a limited time. Terms apply.

I have several Google Alerts set right now - Anne Heche, Jessica Klein, Michael Malone, Nelson Branco. So I was following one link that was supposed to take me to an item about Branco & there were 3 stories being highlighted & one of them was that Becky Herbst was OUT at GH! I couldn't believe it. Clicked through to it & it was a story from 2015. D'oh. Okay. Then on the next page I got to by clicking out of that one was an item about Genie Francies leaving GH. I couldn't believe it. Yes, again, it was a story from 2021! Double D'oh! Never did find one about Nelson Branco. Whatever software algorithm is picking which stories to highlight needs some sort of tweaking!!

Great! And, there's even more to the day! A four part video is up on YT. This was the 4th one. Editing In: Still about Anne Heche, I heard today that her organ donations went to 8 separate individuals! That just chokes me up. So wonderful. Correction: It is not known how many individuals received organ donations. Some unsavory types are saying that they will sell the names of them & claimed the number.

Nope. Nor did I say it was NBC saying or doing anything. Instead I just showed a simple illustration that they have begun to do a little something on Peacock. OMG, what an overreaction to a simple post. Chillax, for god's sake.

I read the report, the whole thing, over the weekend. I had previously known that she suffered from clinical depression & that it was very bad. But, the PTSD & being bipolar, well, that was news to me. Such a load for so small a petite woman to carry on her shoulders most of the time. I said at the time that maybe some more people would get just how bad it can be when you give up on your life the day before you are made a part of the Country Music Hall of Fame. Made me sad again.

You're probably right. Good call.

Some people are looking at this video as an opportunity to say Bon Voyage to Anne again. Note that she breaks the fourth wall, winks at the audience & blows the audience a kiss! Vicky & Ryan when she's leaving

Wasn't that a strange moment?! I wondered if it was in the script or if Doug just got lost & they kept taping, anyway.

I've never been so emphatic about it. I think I need to develop this as my own, too.

Wow. No, Make that WOW. That is so powerful. Thank you for sharing that! Now what happens to Royce & his alters? Not to be confused with the wedding altar.

Derek said that they had misquoted him & he made them take it down & did another interview. No idea what the misquote was but he was very upset. I am looking for the URL as we speak. Derek's chosen "replacement" interview

In Loving Memory of Robert Lupone Sorry about the quality.

But there was Usenet & Prodigy & Delphi & AOL & CompuServe & GEnie, and they all had active, thriving soap groups. AW already had a significant presence on the young web with Eddie's AW Home Page & with individual actors having fans run pages for them. And, we were in touch with Victoria, too. It was an amazing time to be a fan activist united online even though it was painful to be fighting a losing battle. I was on RATS & RATSm & RATSa & RATSc & was the Asst. Mgr. of the Delphi Soap Opera Forum & we hosted Charles, Victoria, Lisa Peluso, Martha Bryne (ATWT) & I cannot remember who else in chats. And, I hosted Sunday night chats for fans of AW at 8 & SB at 9. (Rec.Arts.Tv.Soaps. Misc)

I just solved my problem with SOC Msg. Bds. mods closing topics, deleting topics, assigning discipline pts & suspending peeps, ... I quit! Just last week. Too many overly strict interpretations of broad rules. Too many rules, period. I posted the first Anne Heche obit which was a link to the guardian, UK paper. They pulled the post because they had some problem with a link going to the guardian. I posted a link to the ATWT Reunion Trent Dawson did as a fund-raiser for the theatre group he is affiliated with, ... they pulled the post because it was not a CBS link. (??!!$#@#) It was not a CBS event! Crazy. Oh, yeah, I posted a tweet. Within the tweet was a twitter link. They pulled it because I linked to a competing service.

Okay, someone correct me if I'm wrong, but ultimately what happened was one of Royce's alters came out when he was testifying in a trial. Wasn't that it? His DID storyline had this great blow-up reveal on the witness stand? Terry Lester was un-effing-believable! Is that clip not up on YT? I know I haven't seen it since original airing so my memory could be screwy. Can anyone confirm?

If you're still reading Anne Heche articles, ... If you read only one Anne Heche article today, let it be this one: https://lamag.com/article/anne-heches-close-friend-corrects-the-record-on-her-last-days-and-legacy?fbclid=IwAR0VOBfs1-3a_YwO53Ro0plgJlKcvfxnuucaeADkNqLDGN7JauOxwMACKdo And, then come see me on IG @shallotpeel

The NBC affiliates are the picture in the dictionary by the term "renegade affiliate". Invented it, they did.

OMG. I thought I was alone thinking it was Li.

If I could draw worth a flip, I would render a cartoon with a happy fellow hoisting a sign that said: No More Pre-emptions! with some "Hoorahs!" floating around. I really feel this PLUS! Just think of it, no more pre-emptions, literally. Bonanza! And, that's crazy because I've been streaming on Peacock for some time now so I haven't had any ... but I am affected by it when the broadcast has one because then I don't have an episode to stream. Now even that will be vamoosed, gone, finito.

This is a kind of the wall question, but does anyone have any picture that shows Linda with those hair extensions in? Thnx.
