Contessa Donatella

Yeah, I've been meaning to circle back & ask, too!!!

@MaximThat's the one that began as a commercial jingle, right?

Well, on OLTL Marty Saybrooke was the victim of a gang rape by several frat brothers, so she might have [ahem] won this dubious honor in one fell swoop. I honestly do not know how many "participated".

No, there was no confusion that it meant co-Head just Associate HW. In daytime an Assoc HW is a position one step up from BDW & one step below co-HW. But if the IMDb routinely lists that wrong for daytime, then these people should be able to be assuaged.

Agree, with everything! And, she mounted a campaign to get herself named "the star of Another World" which was just ridiculous & was not going to happen as long Victoria Wyndham was in place as Rachel. Eddie Drueding just showed me a quote from Doug Watson where he said it was part of his deal with the show that he would never say he loved anyone but Rachel!!!" BTW, the Another World Home Page is gearing up to celebrate their 30th anniversary from their inception date of April 6, 1995! Stay tuned for details.

A bunch of people on Twi/X are getting very agitated because the IMDb lists Ron as Assoc. HW!!! But, look at this list, below. It shows 6 people as Assoc. HW including all of the people also listed for BDW. Is this just the IMDb getting things wonked up or is it possibly a vanity title they are giving away wholesale?! I'm going to see what Wikiwand shows. Series Writing Credits Michele Val Jean ... (created by) (200 episodes, 2025) Michele Val Jean ... (head writer) (195 episodes, 2025) Michele Val Jean ...

Pratt writing that Reese & Zach kissed the night before the wedding was positively egregious.

I also have that person on Ignore, so I am just now becoming aware of it. This is ridiculous. ! For the life of me I cannot imagine why they are allowed to engage with ordinary posters. They have personally attacked me over & over, for several years. Now, we see them going after someone new, to them, Maxim, who should not be called names for on-topic posting about a classic soap!!! I have now reported them. So, the ball is in your court.

This is from last year, the Daily Drama podcast, Charles Mesure was the guest, Steve & Bradford, sorry don't have the link, one of them asks this question, then his reply. More meaningful now than before. "How did GH come about for you?" "What's the polite version of this story? My agent loves the show and we know that last year was this crazy year with the the actor strike and the writer strike, that was an unprecedented shift in the industry. I've never come across anything that dramatic and then it came through in October ‘would I like to read for this show’ and for me it had nothing to do with the show, it had to do with at my age I thought it was like 10 years long gone from being a romantic leading man and also I knew that starting in about 2016 I started to have trouble remembering lines just because I'm middleaged now you know and so the idea of learning massive amounts of dialogue and being a romantic leading man for someone who looks like she's just won Wimbledon for God's sake, that is so what I don't want to be doing at this point in my career. I've been doing mentor roles and character roles and antagonist roles for 10 years now you know but in the end my agent bullied me and said ‘just go in’. I said ‘okay I'll go in for the workout’ and then I went in, this was last October, and Mark was just a phenomenally impressive ambassador to the show. He was so gracious and so welcoming I thought ‘well if this is how they do things I'm impressed by that’ and then I read with Laura Wright and she was so ridiculously good, so present. The tiniest thing I did she would pick it up and run with it. She was so present, so breathtaking in terms of her craft, so impressive and just the way she ran with that chemistry. She was so warm and welcoming I thought ‘wow totally against my better judgment, I think I'd really like to work with her’ and that was it.”

There is regular & routine repetition of images & information all the time, from all outlets. This is not diiferent. This is usual.

I & others have been concerned about the stress these people are under. Actors, yes, but more, crew & support people. If it were against some rule, then it wouldn't be happening.

Until further notice changes things, I will continue to think this about Bill, and I know others who think this also & people making strange & absurd accusations about this, my stated opinion, better knock it the hell off. It is news to me that some of you don't think this. I must admit that I am more than a little offended. And, so this is where we leave it.

EWWWWW. ICK. ARGH. He was an adult when Hayley, a child, was growing up in that extended household. What does that make him? I think we all know.

I can't believe people are listing Bill!!!! His personality & his actions make him totally UNattractive if you ask me. What he does & has done make him so ugly to me.

It may have been JFP at AW thinking that JB was who she had to have, perks & all, when the show could have had Wheeler playing both twins, not one, and no perks, just a std contract. AW fans were plagued with EPs like JFP & opportunistic actors at a time when it could afford neither!!! And, no, as far as I can tell JB does not go even out in the world, so it's possibly now a sad situation & I honestly hate that for her, if so. But who knows, maybe karma.

QUITE! confusing

The reason for this is that you are the soul of discretion.

And t his applies double to someone like Jensen Buchanan who after bleeding her old soap dry, she signed on to do her best or worst .... in this case, to the soap known to be located in Port Charles NY.

I posted it in the Retro topic early Friday morning, long before Eric.

This is a clip with RC/Skye & LW/Carly & they throw down but that part is not my point. What I don't know that I'd like to is what in the devil is Alcazar pretending to be somebody named Delgado who is marrying Blair?

Trying to always be here with nitpick & technicalities, Ron's last day is Wed., 4-23. My countdown timer tells me that is 37 days away as of this very minute. I feel good about this because when I created this countdown timer/calendar it was 80+ days away.

Hmm, you've made me think of what my soap consumption has been of late. DAYS is my traditional soap since I began watching it in 1970. And, no question it is bad. Produced too fast & too cheaply & both of those things show. Recently we've had some good times due almost entirely to Hayes&Hayes. I hold onto the strongest wish that SSH wins an Emmy for Best Supporting. I also hope the Emmys will pay tribute to those we've lost: Bill, Wayne & Drake. GH I applaud for the good they have but am perpetually angry with them because they could be great & they just aren't. Another great bit of fan review & critique of my girl, Dani! Thanks for this. I was in despair of Dani discussion here, the other day. A new day brings new talk!!! Here, I agree with this. I watch GH & BTG daily in a group via zoom. The room which we use all the time is named Jarly Daily Zoom & that is the commonality that we began to be a group around, GH Jarly fans. However, at different times we have people watch with us who are not Jarly fans. They are welcome as long as they don't do something stupid like insult Carly or Jason or their host Angela or promote something intolerable to the group like wanting the show to put Carly & Sonny back together as a couple. We are very tolerant of varying opinions except NOT that one. Our motto is "ABC" with regard to female companionship for Sonny it's Anyone But Carly. We watch & we talk about what we saw. There's about a dozen usually. Then half the group departs & the remaining 6 watch - and talk - BGT, with great enthusiasm. This is my first experience in group soap watching & I love it. Later I may do a rewatch alone, at home. Or I may do an edit of either show.

This is a rather abrupt change of subject but I saw it on the Daytime Confidential Comments board by a poster who goes by "ShivRoy" & it frankly fascinated me & I wanted to run it up the flagpole here. It began with the question aren't Charlotte & fill-in-the-blank cousins.

LOL, you're very welcome. We all know that this hotness isn't my cup of tea but it doesn't keep me from having an opinion & I agree with the Mike Manning character (still hate that name) & Andre & Jacob. And, I want someone to get rid of the sameness in facial hair!!!

I always perk up when you post like a fan in a show thread. Today you do not disappoint. I was also previously mentioning people that I really strongly wish had been present for this. I only had one more that you don't have & that would be Nicole because she was such a good friend to Allie BITD. I think probably there would be near universal agreement with your statement about Carlivati, also. Just not a good fit. Some people had speculated that since things seemed quite different, then perhaps the new writers had made some adjustments or tweaked things. To that end Jamey posted on Twi/X Saturday saying no that this is all Ron.
