I always love it when soaps do friendships & scream the loudest when they throw those friendships over for some man, etc. It was one of my favorite things about AW & it is righteous now on GH. I still do not get how Ava & Nina can be friends but I guess I have to trust Ava to know what she's doing.

But, wait, they're half-brothers! 🤪

Just a little tidbit, practically a non sequiter, but Sunny is played by Marcia McCabe who went on to play a hit woman on AW whose name was Bunny Eberhardt. I always got a giggle out of her playing two such interesting names & that they rhymed.

She really has gone from rode hard & put up wet to very lovely! THIS! Kelly's eyes are even smiling now. She's present when she had been gone off somewhere!

I think they were just having things even out. Coop had gotten the money for the book & then Coop died, which was crazy & I did not understand, and then they wanted to show that that money went to a good cause.

Double ick with a twist! Ewww. Nik's shoulders & back & chest were too soft & plain jane & Esme looked like a little girl. Barf. Still lacking in a Sweeps moment!

NBC's love affair with tennis.

I hope that was an attempt, albeit a feeble one, at humor. Obviously one doesn't dump all of someone at one social media site into one clump where instead one has all different kinds of people who just happen to inhabit one site or another.

Something of a non sequiter, she was married to & had a child with Kale Browne, Michael Hudson on AW & Sam Rappaport on OLTL.

It's always so weird because ATL doesn't do Pride in June. ATL does pride in October. Started because of a drought & all the foot traffic was destroying a city park.

SO DUMB

The Ham Song You Must Hear It!

Heck, I still feel like we didn't have Sweeps.

I know some people describe Dark Shadows as a group of ordinary people who have a terrible thing happen to them. I wonder if that holds up or if it's just a kind of wish fulfillment.

Was this discussed? Script Proposals, Treatments, Pitches for Storylines, Show Bibles Dissatisfied with Capitol, CBS announced the cancellation of it as of Dec. 1986, with a last air date of Mar. 1987. Solicited proposals for new show to replace. Paul Rauch, a more satirical serial called Grosse Pointe about a wealthy, dysfunctional blue blood family. Claire Labine, entitled Celebration, middle class family living in the suburbs of Cleveland, somewhat like ATWT and/or AW but with an 80s twist to bring it current. And when the nbc affiliates chose Sunset Beach, was the Stephen J. Cannell soap discussed?

Well, maybe that is closer to what I think, too, now that you put it that way. Overall, most people I don't think they will change. But, some people maybe there's evidence that they in fact do change & stay changed.

It's just so dreadfully boring. Any other reaction would be marginally more interesting. Ho Hum. Yawn. He wants to boink the bitch. Sigh.

Whether they were or not it is still so wonderful

Jill Hurst turned me onto Harriet the Spy when she learned that I am a devotee of tomato sandwiches. Now to learn of a Connie Ford connection sends me right over the moon! Thank you!

Maybe I'm a cynic but I don't think most people are capable of real change.

Louise Fitzhugh who wrote Harriet the Spy or another one?

Very interesting. Even will wonders never cease?

And I am sure that po'd Bell Sr. since they forced him to go to an hour!

Both the book & the movie absolutely chilled me through to the core. (We've Got To Talk About Kevin)

Like what? There's a good chance someone knows! I think more actual negatives are known about Jill than anyone else.
