How awful! I'm so sorry to hear this. My mother passed around her same age, way too soon. That is a beautiful headshot that Octavia Spencer shared. I remember Sonya Eddy calling into one of those Blog Talk Radio soap shows that Na'Vell was hosting and her boisterous laughter almost blowing out my speakers. May she rest in peace.

1990 Christmas episode with special appearance by Llanview's Dorian Lord:
I've had this magazine clipping since the '90s, and I'm just now realizing that this is most likely a posed publicity photo and not a screenshot. Dorian doesn't actually visit Adam's house in the above episode. I don't know, maybe she popped up an episode or so later? (Same costumes.)

@DRW50 I love the dance sequence. (Reminded me of Sela Ward on Emerald Point getting down with a random dude at the bar as the Eurythmics' Sweet Dreams pumped on the jukebox.) I wasn't familiar with the s/l so I just read up on it and watched a bit of the Locher Room interview with Louise, Kelli, and Michael (who not only has great cheekbones but a bunch of RH episodes on tape in his garage).

Pretending one doesn't show their colors doesn't negate their racism. We see it.
To what was this in reference?

So no legal ramifications for Thomas? Are we to assume Brooke isn't pressing charges out of her allegiance to Ridge?
Has SOD shared any details on how the show handles Sheila's missing toe? Is it a stunt foot (there's a specific casting breakdown for you) or is it a little movie magic?

I liked Forbes March and his hair okay.
He once mentioned in an interview how his wife hated it when he farted in bed and quite frankly I've never been able to shake the correlation when his name is mentioned.
My friend and I went to the Daytime Emmys the year that Susan Lucci won, 1999. One of the many pictures that she captured was a then unknown Forbes with Cameron Mathison, Forbes had yet to air as Scott and we had no idea who he was.

As long as you know who doesn't end up playing a dual role.

@Joseph Once upon a time, ABC would preempt their late afternoon programming with after school specials. I don’t know what it would take logistically and things ended on such a sour note with ABC, but I would love to see a Friday episode of GH replaced with the occasional AMC and OLTL reunions. It’s hard to cram much into an hour. Even better would be a streaming week long special like Beyond Salem.

OMG, who is that in the blue with the hair with Jennifer?
I’ve given her a fair chance, but I’ve come to the conclusion that I just don’t care for Jada. I don’t ever find myself rooting for her even when she’s in the right. She strikes me as a classic soap “good person” who ends up going nuts and turns into a villain before getting killed or carted off to jail.

@j swift I’m assuming Karamo is from the same distributor as Maury as Maury was doing promos for Karamo before it started (Maury: The hot new show I think you should be watching next season is Karamo!). I also got a bit of a Ricki Lake vibe, more specifically, I got a dated ‘90s vibe which just reminded me of the sea of celebrities who had short lived chat shows. Karamo has none of the pop and excitement of Ricki or Maury though. I’m glad my affiliate still airs Maury right after Karamo, it’s oddly refreshing hearing EVERY. SINGLE. GUEST. shouting on that show, no one ever uses their inside voices.
It’s no small feat coming up with a talk show format that’s unique. Oprah, Rosie, Jerry, and Maury were able to find something inimitable. With the exception of Rosie, they all started SO differently. Maury and Jerry were quite serious, they handled heavy topics and I’m sure that’s been forgotten or simply never known by generations of viewers. Oprah more often delved into trashy talk show fare and I think it was the Trudy Chase interview that forever changed her approach to her show’s format.

Paulina calling Leo Mary is a double reference. Mary is slang for a gay man (even Oprah talked about how her gay hair and makeup men called EVERYONE Mary, male and female). And of course the second reference is 227 where Jackée practically trademarked her pronunciation of the name Mary. So Jamey or whomever struck Giddens gold with such a reference and I don't see the writers giving it up easily.

It's In Italian But It's A Great Clip, I didn't Know Dorian Was Crippled Once
Hmm, I’ve seen various episodes with those two sets for Dorian’s apartment. I always thought they were meant to be separate residences, were they in fact the upstairs and downstairs of the duplex?

Thanks for sharing @DRW50 , love Maria’s hat. She fascinates me, I’d love to go back and watch her full journey.

I still have this episode on tape somewhere, my high school friend set the VCR for me that morning. Susan and Joan Rivers were friends, Joan must’ve gifted Susan that costume jewelry from her line.
I loved how Live! would have soap stars on. I kind of feared that nobody at home other than a select few of us knew who the hell they were, but that was pretty naive given the targeted daytime audience. Some soap actors I remember appearing on the show: Ruth Warrick, Julia Barr, Robin Strasser, Linda Dano, Erika Slezak, Jacklyn Zeman, Rudolf Martin…

@victoria foxton I was watching yesterday’s episode thinking the same just before I read your post. Lately, I’ve seen several glimpses of sloppily painted sets with nicks in the construction.

In what world does a doctor lose their license to practice medicine yet go on to become COS at the same hospital?
Are there any scenes of @All My Shadows ‘s fav, Claudette Montgomery that have surfaced online?

I liked Li, I think he worked better in his former capacity. I think he’d work better now if he weren’t playing the heavy.

The City’s Sydney Chase was originally named Lauren, and even appeared so in at least one magazine before the show aired. It was Morgan’s idea to change the character’s name as there were so many Laurens out there (Hutton, Bacall…) adding that she liked men’s names. (Lauren is actually a man’s name too.)
On Dynasty, The Carringtons were originally the Parkhursts, and the Colbys were the Corbys.
Dominique’s original name was Johnni (sp?) iirc, Diahann Carroll wrote about it in her autobiography, Diahann!

Because your idea about female pronouns being used in a derogatory way towards gay men is ridiculous, and it goes too far. I despise conversations about wokeness and political correctness, but I am aware of when it all goes too far.
I think it’s annoying when football fans (particularly female ones) refer to Dallas as the Cowgirls. I don’t mind when my gay friends refer to each other as girl or bitch when they are all in agreement. On the other hand, I think it’s out of line when for example a cisgender heterosexual woman learns that a man is gay and takes it upon herself to start calling him girl in conversation.

I hope he asks her about how she felt when her friend Robin replaced her, and if she caught any episodes with Robin or Linda. She was also married to Herb “Hi, it’s me Stan” Edelman, do interviewers ever ask her about him?0 -

Sheila/Halloween episode excellent! Even if we just got to see TB/Lauren for one episode...Sigh.
I thought it was a lot of fun and didn’t take itself too seriously in a way I’m not used to from B&B. The Bell soaps seem to avoid the silliness we’re accustomed to from the ABC and NBC soaps. The special opening titles were a great touch, and I got a kick out of the chocolate toes.
TB is aging very well (btw, when she was on the show, the opening photo of her in the gunmetal dress was always my favorite.)

Are we supposed to feel sorry for Liam, because those sad kicked puppy dog eyes did nothing for me.
