Contessa Donatella

My thought exactly!!! Not new, same old objections but interesting that Doug may be going to give it up. Did NOT see this coming & I think it's weird because Andre is as involved with Nicole as he is with Ted, so conflict for him to now know this secret. It's a good flirty thing between Joey & Vanessa, me I like it fine. I didn't like it, Worry. Do NOT want Fatal Attraction. Good week, good day but not great day. Yesterday GREAT. It is now April & I want Anita's story to get going!!! Glad we are going to have Pamela again next week. MORE please.

I never liked Derwin, just personal pref, though. I liked both Krista & Kim Simms.

Why is what I said intense to you? I don't think in those terms, at least not most of the time. I was just offering information. You make me feel bad when I have nothing to feel bad about. I think you take things as attack when they just aren't.

Peluso is a lady, also a very religious person. SO you are offbase with your "dirty" interpretation. All is forgiven.

Of your list I also very much love Pat, I guess that's all, except of course we overlap on Ada. EFulton, why do i think you didn't even try? Do you think it was easy for me? Well, it was not. Where is your old college spirit? Also I miss AW so very terribly. It actually hurts.

Isn't the new photo montage at the AWHP just really excellent. I know I was favorably impressed & I am not so easily impressed either. Thinking back, about 30 years, Eddie set the gold standard for soap opera presence on the web, which at the time was exceedingly new. AWHP has continued to be par excellence. I don't know about you but I for one have a deep appreciation for it. Ada, Connie Ford Rachel, VW Iris, the divine Beverlee Carl, Charles Keating Mac, Douglas Watson Vicky, actually both twins, Anne Heche So I cheated, this is 6, TOUGH! Why is so much harder. Anne Heche is a personal favorite. I followed her life & career after AW. I miss her. It still does not seem right that she is not in the same universe as we are. Ada, Connie Ford is my favorite actress, period. I have edits I have done featuring her. Rachel, when I began watching it was when Agnes Nixon was in the process of saving the show. I always gravitated to Rachel. Going forward that did not change. Now you go. Who do you love? BTW, the idea that I was name-dropping is ludicrous. Actually I found it funny. I laughed out loud as the saying goes. Now, when I post about talking to Carolyn Culliton or Courtney Sherman Simon, you better believe I am serious about what was said & sharing info like that to me is just what we do. I don't get why some people want to make it something it clearly is not.

No kidding, we are looking at boiling bunnies unless I missed completely what today told us. Fatal attraction, here we go ...

They taped the Nurses Ball, started Th & Fri last week, then every day this week, now they go dark for 2 weeks.

I thought it was a great day but Willow lied, the whole time, she just told one lie after another. Thank god Carly didn't let her get away with it. She said that she & Michael were having problems. A lie. They were not. She said that the time when she did what Carly said was gone. When did she ever do anything Carly said? Never happened. Another lie. She said every single decision she has made she made for the benefit of her children. You guessed it. That's a lie. Carly said that technically Wiley is not her child. True! Carly said the only reason Michael let her be a mom to Wiley is because she is a good person, which she no longer is. Carly intends to fight for Michael's rights with his children.

Oh, yeah, finally they let us see Mama Bear, thank god!!! Great writing today both for that fight & for Alexis & Diane trying to figure out some way to keep Kristina out of prison.

They went to a lot of trouble to try to redeem her & then .... nothing till Marco who is furious with her.

A few words about Sara Bibel. first she was a fan, then a soap journo. essay on fans & shows every week, then she wrote for Y&R, had to look at history & details & continuity, THEN she was one of the 8 people that josh grifith fired in one fell swoop. That makes her humble, having been let go, but it also makes her hungry for the next opportunity. Lynn Martin, same thing, basically. So, this is their team, we can count on them every Thursday. Michele val Jean & her dream team. Ladies & gents I present to you this dream team.

I was one fan who really liked Josh with Harley, obviously a minority position.

One thing I don't think many fans realize is that VW and Beverlee were friends. It was VW who advised McKinsey to play hardball on her contracts for TEXAS. Because of it she came away with not only a ton of money but the star billing!

It's funny. For the longest time I didn't care for any catfights or slaps or anything remotely like that. But, last year I discovered the GENERATIONS catfight which I consider to be the best ever, written by Michele Val Jean & those two women almost destroyed an apartment & it took all he could manage for a grown-ass man to pull them apart. Ever since then I've become a fan. Sometimes a day changes nothing. But sometimes it changes a lot.

Just this second finished watching today & it was really an amazing day & that was all down to excellent writing supported by quality acting. When DAYS actually tries to do good soap, they can still hit it outta the ball park! Major kudos. Way to go! And, again, welcome back Sami & Vivian, you've been missed.

Thank you to you & also to Errol for this answer.

So very glad to read this reply! Thank you so very much for your kind words & your appreciation. It's true that I value the slinging of words & I think I do have a fairly good grip on humor. Thanks most especially for your last bit of sheer encouragement. I will endeavor to live up to your high ideals!!! And, you have a nice rest of the night, you hear?

I don't know what is going on with you, nor do I really care, but if this is your way of trying to make life difficult for me, or get in some kind of dig, i assure you this is the least effective slam ever, in the whole world. Thanks for playing. You can pick up your complimentary swag as you leave. And may your leaving be soon & final.

What is a Sailor Scout?

You want to edit it while you can It's ALS not ASL.

Thank you so much for the reply. And, also for the agreement. I just shake my head. When it's really bad, oh no, our soaps are in hot water. And, balance, and pacing, can these things even be taught?

And if I were to say, and I guess I am saying. today's soaps worst problems are balance & pacing. One more thing there's always karma. My girl Carly on GH has paid in karma about threefold. So many people say Carly gets away with everything but she really does not if you count karma, which I do.

I wish she had!!!! They certainly warranted it. My only consolation is that he sued them & they settled out of court. I have no idea what kind of loot he got but I hope it was a huge amount.
