  1. I got behind on DAYS. Kept trying to catch up. Failing. I've watched 3 episodes of April. So I've decided, Screw April! I'm starting fresh today, with May. 

    I have a question for you. Is there any particular episode I should watch having to do with Horton House? 

    Besides that, if you were me, is there any other specific April episode that you would watch? 

    Please and thank you! 

    Only Dimitri could find true love in the slammer. 

    I love that Leo got a Dear John letter. That's a start. 

    Love EJ's assistant. 

  2. Larkin Douglass Watson III (February 24, 1921 — May 1, 1989) was an American actor. He was best known for his portrayal of Mac Cory on the daytime soap opera Another World.

    On May 1st, 1989, Doug Watson got off a plane & went to a dude ranch for a week of R&R. The first thing he did was join an exercise class & then dropped dead of a massive heart attack.

    AW was all set to celebrate Cory Publishing anniversary, all about his character, Mac Cory. There went 18 months of story.

    Just checked & now it says

    This event is no longer accepting reservations.

    No.

    What Jason said is what was reported from last year.  The first accident (the hit-and-run) where she hit the parked car, was on the city streets of Pasadena a little while before she entered the freeway.   The first car wasn't on the freeway at all.

    The only confusion in reporting is from outlets rushing to give updates on her sentencing deal, without actually reading the original reports.

    When emergency responders (police/ambulance/etc) arrived at the at the scene of the freeway accident, they extricated her and attended to her, attended to the driver she it, and the destroyed vehicles.  She was brought to the hospital etc.   At some point later that night/day, or within a few minutes/hours/days later, the police realized she'd hit the first car  in a completely separate incident just before she entered the freeway.  So then they charged her with both accidents. 

    But yeah the original reports always said the first vehicle she hit was stationary or parked.

    I have no problem at all with this description of events regarding the hit-and-run. My point was that her car was not disabled at that point & I gave an accurate description of the wrong way, head-on crash which was the most serious part of the entire thing. If that is cleared up now, I am fine with how it stands.

    I am not the sort of person who critiques material without having first-hand knowledge of it.

    I hope this puts your mind at ease.

    Okay, so you watch GH. I called it that Ava means to find who is behind the meds tampering. What are the odds this is her fatal flaw?

    Trying to understand what watching GH has to do with a  Guiding Light Thread.    

    Even with her on ignore, I see she's still pestering posters about the wrong topics.

    Cheers @vetsoapfan.

    Oh, thank god you've arrived! These people brought up GH here. I mean what were they thinking?!!!

    Reading the whole story, the hit-and-run part of the charge was actually for her hitting a parked car just before she got into the accident, so it wasn't that she hit the injured driver and then ran. She couldn't have since her car was destroyed.

    "Also dismissed was a hit-and-run charge resulting from Pullos running into a parked car just before the freeway crash. But though prosecutors dropped that count, she will still have to pay restitution to the owner of the car she damaged."

    After the hit-and-run she proceeded to drive on the freeway at an extreme speed, lost control & her car jumped a 2 foot barrier & was then driving the wrong way toward oncoming traffic. One car swerved to avoid her & the car immediately behind was the car she hit & both her car & that car were destroyed then. 

    Her car had to be moving at a high speed to create the final accident. I'm just spit-balling here but perhaps the hit-and-run was the first car, which swerved but was hit a glancing blow. 

    There seems to be a considerable problem in this late reporting of what actually happened.

    People who ask me something on messenger or viber and when I respond, they only give an emotion reaction to it. B-tch I took the time to write a freaking sentence to you, BECAUSE you ASKED ME SOMETHING - now you gonna just put a smiley face on or a heart emoji - I put your ass in the no notification folder right away. BYE.

    People do this to me all the time! Their fave emoji seems to be Thumbs Up!  HATE IT.

    NLG can't be all bad. She is staging an ALS benefit this weekend.

    Good grief. No one suggested she was! I've loved her since Santa Barbara. Disagreeing with her statements about Haley Pullos doesn't negate fan love & appreciation & even respect. But, not about HP!

    This is a first! Yikes!😱

    Still, our opinions are not completely out of sync. I did say how much I liked Gentry in the role, and you agree that Hulswit was more likeable. Plus, we both agree that neither Peter Simon nor Richard Van Vleet gelled well during their tenures on the show. 

    I don't see a contentious board war on the horizon. 😁

     

    Well, I will enter in. Peter Simon was my favorite Ed! 

    But, I note you haven't answered my question about whether you watch GH. The thing is, you see, I am regularly seeing people give opinions about GH when in fact they are not watching the show! And, that happens to matter. 

  10. Count me as one who loved Tom Pelphrey on GL and then on OZARK.

    I happened to read an article in which Matt Bomer tried to describe his role on GL & not only was it a perfect example of how convoluted soap stories sound when you try to tell them that way but, my god, how awful they were to Ben Reade!!!! My least favorite PTB of the end days, ConWest was trying to kill me, as a fan.

    What is the difference between the $65 option in the list and the $45 option?

    Done.

    Just checked it & it still is MIA from the drop down. Haven't heard back from her. 

  12. During her latest day in court, Haley changed her plea to no contest on one DUI and in exchange, the district attorney dropped the second DUI charge along with the hit-and-run charge.

    So, it could have been worse.

    Hi Donna.  Do you know if the $45 option has been removed?  I do not see it in the drop down choices.

    I'm signed up for it, paid & gotten an email confirmation. A GH fan told me today she just signed up for it yesterday & got an email confirmation. Let me look. 

    She moved it! Below the drop down! See. (Weird.) Try that. Report back! If that's not it, I will email her. She responds to me almost instantly! 

    moved it'.jpg

    No, I was clearly talking about the Reva/Zimmer situation and how she had the show under a barrel...all because they let her.  LW just annoys me so whomever wants to yank on her all the good...(I think you posted a clip or pic of her and that Cameron Mathieson guy and they both looked like an aging Barbie and Ken doll set...okay, CM annoys me even more, he looks like his is made of weird plastic. ) 

    The only clip I've posted recently with Cameron Mathison in it was hot angry sex with Drew & Nina so wrong blonde! Cynthia Watros!  Not Laura Wright. This has become a hilarious exchange, I gotta tell ya. LOL!!! 

    About KZ & Reva, sure thing, same page on that. 

    I would add that I came to an appreciation of GL late. My experience of the different periods you praise is only through the Soap Classics DVDs that were put out & YouTube. I personally do feel KZ & Reva is not only an example of one character eating a show but possibly the best example. If Kim was not front burner for ONE DAY she had her special fans on the phone to the studio, complaining, loudly, with great fervor. And I hated Paul Rauch's "vision" with overlit "too bright" scenes where the women typically were only allowed to wear certain colors, A-line skirts, plunging V-neckline blouses, etc. I know people here do not but I loved Harley, Buzz & Jonathan. Also Otalia & Jami.

    They are good but have a lot of inaccuracies. In particular, when it comes to dates. 

    Very true, errors all over the place.

    Remember, if it’s in a book or an interview, it’s fact. lol So many books have wrong facts. Same with interviews. Public relations idiots made it sound like everyone loved everyone on every show all the time. 

    There are published accounts of many feuds. Most people got along with each other. But not all! Some people could not stand each other. And to a large extent, this is known. 

    And, of course, most of us know that errors abound!!!
