Contessa Donatella

Yeah, for a few years. One of the worst times they had nothing to write for her. She & Rafe were living together & they had sex & she cooked pasta. That was it. Not even TB can make soap gold out of that. Waste.

I thought that Burton & Braun were good, which surprised me. I mean, in my own way I like each but I didn't think they belonged on DAYS. Today I just want to strangle someone at Digest who wrote that headline. There is zero reason TB being let go should be called SHOCKING! This is show business, not Soapy Friends.

Just because some people might not understand that you are one of the most marvelous creatures to walk this earth & do not see that you've gone way the heck out of your way to "hang the moon" for the rest of us does not mean there aren't a bunch of us who APPRECIATE YOU & WHAT YOU DO even though at times we are not posting to say so!!!

I have no idea. But, interesting point: last Ben Reade actor was Matt Bomer.

After all, sometimes it's all about priorities! Leo Stark please next in line for pink slip.

IMO, you can make the case that Alexandra was always pretty much a "hard" person, sure with family where she clearly had certain expectations (often not met), but also with other non-family members sometimes, too. She is one where I would say definitely she did not suffer fools AT ALL!! I know the expression is about not suffering fools gladly which does not represent her well enough. LOL. But, I would also say that this was a trait in her that I liked, as opposed to holding it against her.

Happy Birthday, GH! Some nice words from Schemering: They really have a legacy. Let's hope they have better days to come in living up to it.

I thought it was more than just dating. Wesley Eure, I mean. Also about Richard Chamberlin, RIP, loved him in Shogun, also loved him in The Thornbirds & maybe even in a sequel to it. In a way he created mini-series for me.

Do you remember the May Sweeps when some of us said the big event was Sonny & Brando changing the spark plugs on a classic car? Another thing that might refresh your memory was it was a time when Sonny went all over town dispensing sage advice. I just figured that he taught Kristina the basics of automobile mechanics. Sounds stupid, right?

Wow, I look at these numbers and at change from last week and see all these pluses. So good to see. I hope it continues. And, thanks, always for these numbers!

I definitely do not misunderstand everything. There was no doubt in my mind that you were expressing your opinion, an opinion I more often than not admire. I made no attack of you. I disagreed with you & tried to inquire if you knew something about the writers that would shed light on this. I'm very sorry you felt misunderstood, which is exactly the way I feel right now. At any rate, since you took what I said totally differently than what I was thinking, just try to ignore this & move on & I will do the same.

Personally I've seen nothing to suggest a confusion between Alexandra & Iris. Do you have anything to back up this idea? Unless there was a situation where writers from AW were then writing for GL but without knowing that happened I fail to see anything going on besides what Beverlee herself said was. Do you? I guess that's my bottom line. We know what she said, why are we looking for something else? What she said explains and it does so quite clearly. Also there's no reason to doubt her word.

Raising my hand here. Although I don't think it would have been my kind of soap, even if not for being an AW fan from way back when.

Hmm, if you ask me Emma going to jail is far from being wrapped up in a bow. L&L2 the hits just keep on coming!

Just found out today that Tom Lisanti is one of "those" when it comes to Ryan's Hope being thrown over for LOVING. Add to it that he claims to be part Sicilian & intends to hold a grudge forever.

Here I am with - you guessed it - nitpick. My friend the expression is suspension of disbelief, not belief. What you're trying to let go of is the impulse to say, That is just unbelievable. The writing for Emma today was so good she needs to buy the writers a steak dinner. I mean, talk about major "using history" writing! I was literally impressed.

His claim (to fame or whatever) I believe is THE BAY. Yes, it was time. And, this is the right moment for it. If anyone needs to be nipped in the bud it's my girl, Dani. Chelsea just broke it off with her as her "momager" last week & now, 3-4 days later, Dani is literally shoehorning herself into another managerial role in Chelsea's new self-chosen career. Although it hurt for Dani to face yet another rejection. Dani's life right now would be a challenge for anyone. I think the two actors have it in spades with a lot of people! (Vanessa, Joey) You got that right! I think it's the self-confidence that is so big & overwhelming!

Oh, no, today they did what I think is my pet peeve. Kat dreamed or fantasized about Tomâs but we saw it as if it was happening. Yes, it's true. Possibly narrow-mindedly I dislike Joey's name for the reason I stated. I still don't like Smitty either. They're just quirks, I guess you'd say. But, they are two tiny nitpicky things I do not like compared to absolute hordes of things I do like. They are really eclipsed. Let me see if I can fix this for you. Okay, not elegant but it sure looks like Bill succeeded rather than attempted.

Donna has a lot of fans. Not as many as James but still quite a few. I call her Dimples. Oddly she is the child who never should have been born.

Well, at least Doug has a gambling addiction & for some unknown reason "Joey" is out to get him, apparently by sinking him deeply in debt. Besides he & his wife have twins. Twins are always interesting on a soap. It's a rule!

Okay, I propose a deal. You find out about Ashley & then let me know. I'll be busy singing a little tune, "No Time For Ashley."

Right after ATWT went off the air, I believe he played a doctor on B&B for possibly a half dozen episodes.
