Contessa Donatella

Triple pole.

Loved the show & the character/actress but I'm not feeling that comparison & there's certainly no Kyle anywhere in sight!!! 🤔🙄😉 I have def been feeling AW 1987 Team Vicky vs. Team Lisa!!! Back then I was Team Lisa. Today my ladies are Anita & Dani with Nicole coming on fast in the backstretch.

So, there's no way to locate Rino Rinaldi as there are many by that name on FB where he was & none have anything definitive making it seem that they are the one. His Retrolovers** YT username has vanished, along with its channel. I've been all over the Italian channel's website & All That Glitters is not currently listed as one of their programs. I fired off an email inquiring about it to their contact address but got no reply. I have the files I previously outlined & have shared them with two people here. Maybe this little gem will show up again randomly sometime in the future. Till then there are at least 3 people with 7 episodes & a handful of short character clips & we can all share.

Thanks so much!!!

Question: Who can tell me where the link is to MVJ & mention of Diana Ross? TIA.

Okay who is in okay shape? Julie, Chad, Marlena, Kayla, Steve, ... ?

OIC DAYS being on a streamer & not linear. Got it now! LOL, here I was being so amazed we finally got to see both TVs & HHs AT ALL!!! Possibly I am far too appreciative of crumbs. Amazing, how very close!!!

Some people like to communicate well with others. Others not so much. Insert missing sputtering emoji.

You say this as if it were a bad thing. I believe Andre would dispute that! Come to think of it, I know he would, just as I would. Andre & Dani are having as much fun as anyone we've met in Fairmont Crest so far anyway!!! And, I say, more power to 'em!!!

Thanks for the info.

Indeed! It would seem so. I really trust Michele Val Jean in terms of having thought about all of this thoroughly. Of course, that doesn't guarantee that I will like each & every decision she made but I feel like we're somewhat protected because I don't see any breadcrumbs leading to a spot called "Neglect". And, of course, I give her points that she said these characters have lived in her head for years!! I def think I've seen some excellent use of green screen, which I have a great appreciation for. On DAYS when Peacock spent some money on them (new cameras, green screen, a third thing I cannot bring to mind atm.) they used the green screen immediately to tell the story of Marlena & Kayla & Kate dying. So very effective. And, of course, similar timeframe Y&R used it, also effectively, when Chelsea was on that balcony thinking about jumping. Odd angles is just plain one of my pet peeves. Don't do it, I'm begging!!! GH has been doing grotesque angles for more than a year now on a very regular basis. I have a feeling the techies see it as a new toy. I am not amused. I have now recruited two whites.

RIP Marty Davich @Maxim@Jason47

Honest to god, I briefly wondered if this would just say "Do not watch Ashley & Derek & you're fine on all other scenes."

Good Lord, yessss! Just did an edit of that scene. I was thinking about first day, first scene, but that was with his grandfather, not father.

So sad, although I believe it's clear that he lived a long, happy, fulfilled, amazing life. But, in a way he was such a part of my life. So obviously loved all of his music at DAYS & GH! Plus, he had some primetime, right? And, as I like to say sometimes ... May light perpetual shine upon him & may angels & heavenly hosts guide him to his new resting place & may he be met there by long unseen family & friends & beloved pets. And, may a feast be laid at a groaning table, only awaiting his presence. What a celebration of life.

There is no kindle version YET. Tom tells me that a kindle version is ... coming but he's not sure when. Also this publisher is a small independent which is why the book is as costly as it is. It only went on sale, Amazon only, the early part of this past week & as of today it was selling well enough to be named by Amazon as special seller. (I'm sorry I can't think of the term.) Edit to Add: This is how Amazon touts how well it's selling! The people in my group on FB who have their copies already are positively raving about it!

For some of us right now is a kind of a delicious dilemma. We want GH to continue to be on the air. (Which is not to say that we do not have critique because we do.) Then, we also are dying for BTG to succeed & to do it to a large degree. ??? We now have a fifth soap.

And destroyed a perfectly good couple, that being the people in the sex tape. I of course am speaking of Cam & Joss who were never the same after their having sex was e-blasted to the entire PCU email apparatus. Which should be prevented by the system! I took what Lucas said as a final nail in that particular coffin. IMO Brad & Lucas are done & done & gone, too. Over. Kaput. If he reversed himself the only thing I can see happening is Lucas cheating with some beautiful dude.

ER? What? Do you possibly mean EK? I thought we were done with Brad/Lucas. I thought they both reached closure. Which admittedly is not nearly as good as reaching other things could have been. Oh, woe is me that our regular old baggage-ridden soaps are so dadblasted conservative when it comes to what oughta be "Love in the afternoon".

I think we should stick it out. Only because it is expected to drop off.

So, those of you who are having problems accessing the show, what are you doing? I ask on the off chance I or anyone else could help out a fellow fan. In the UK for example what happens if you try to go with Paramount Plus?

Maxim I'm sure thinks I am being a hard*ss & maybe I am.
