  1. What did she say about Wheeler?
  2. I've been meaning to ask about that channel. Should we worry SONY will delete their content anytime soon?
  3. THAT'S Kim Zimmer's son? Oh my God...
  4. They said Reva was supposed to be a brunette. Also given the nature of Kim Zimmer... lol Yeah!! Especially considering that they could remember the names of 1980s cast members...!
  5. In hindsight, I'm sure it was but they got scared.
  6. I loved the Nursery Rhyme Stalker storyline... but I totally get why they would roll their eyes at it. It really is a statement to their talent as actors.
  7. Thanks. That was so incredibly lovely.
  8. You don't need gloves much like up until yesterday, you didn't need a face mask either unless you were sick. Now it so happens that you need a face mask either way. Weird how things change, huh? I'm just saying- people are confused and it's not their fault. Ultimately they're out to protect themselves. It was the administration's and the government's duty to amp up production of protective materials before all of this started.
  9. I think the costs outdo the benefits! In order to release such an extensive library, you also need to watch the episodes or somehow review them. As mentioned, there could be music rights issue. But also: maybe part of the content is not PC by today's standards and could expose the company to a lawsuit of sorts. Finally, should they pay royalties to the actors? It's just a couple of examples off the top of my head, but I think the whole ordeal would turn into a nightmare.
  10. They must be setting it up for editors to work from home (I hope). This is only the first classic episode. The show won't be back for a long, long time. We'll see what else they'll pull out of their hat.
  11. I'm guessing it will take much longer for them to reprise filming. Supposedly, the virus is largely defeated 2 months after a proper lockdown is put in place (let's say July). But even then, symptom-less people remain, undetected. And they can infect other people. Causing another 'wave'. I'm guessing we'll veery slowly go back to a resemblance of our normal lives, but I'm not sure at what point soaps will be able to reprise filming. Even if filming reprises in late Summer, will the actors be willing to be intimate with each other? Storylines and blocking will have to change dramatically, much like our lives and our ways to show affection will have changed. What we need even more so than a vaccine is a new way of testing that provides results within minutes. I think Hollywood will be disrupted by this and the soaps will be the last ones to adapt given they have a hectic schedule and lots of variables in place.
  12. I wonder if they'll show episodes with Brenda Dickson and Terry Lester. I doubt they want to risk rubbing someone (PB) the wrong way.
  13. Thanks! I love to see how the actors sound in different languages. Those 2005 episodes were so bittersweet. Adrienne Leon and Davetta Sherwood... so many missed opportunities.
  14. Yes, her only symptom. I'm not up to date with her current state. I gather 'no news is good news'.
  15. Happy for you. I think on average you develop symptoms within 5 days. One of my coworkers developed symptoms on her 13th day of self-quarantine. She could not smell. The next day, she tested positive. Eerie.
  16. Didn't know about that. So sick! Glad he didn't make it to the race.
  17. I can't even imagine what certain segments of society are going through. LGBT kids trapped with homophobic parents. Young workers trapped with dangerous flatmates (1 year ago, my flatmate became my stalker... thank God I moved out but it wasn't easy). Quarantine can be a nightmare for many people, my heart goes out to them. The picture with the homeless sleeping in a parking lot was shocking. It reminded me of an article I read a couple of years ago by a person who works for a charity that gives out food and clothes to the homeless. Some of them see the streets as their home and they just won't take shelter anywhere else, because of even worse experiences and distrust (hence authorities should make more of an effort to deserve their trust). That's just another perspective.
  18. Let me tell you my experience: everyone should be provided with masks. Everyone should wear them. A couple of weeks ago, I learned my boss tested positive. I found myself at risk of having contracted the virus. I was self-quarantining before the lockdown was even in place. Then I was forced to leave my apartment. There was no other solution, I had to leave my apartment for 2 hours. I needed a mask, but I had no masks. Because every expert had said "Leave the masks to the infected and the health workers". I don't understand why it should be my fault that no one thought of amping up face masks production when they knew an epidemic/pandemic was on its way (the WHO warned the most at risk countries in January). Anyway, as soon as they produce more face masks, everyone will be/should be provided with a package of face masks.
  19. Thank you! Wow, that quality is pristine! And what an ensemble of characters. I'd love to see the episode because it looks very well balanced as a whole. And most of the characters are still here.
  20. I've always been curious as to what made this show so attractive to a male audience. Is there any particular storyline you can recommend for me to watch on Youtube? I'd love to know if there's any special Youtube channel or playlist with at least a complete storyline from the show.
  21. Me too! And look at Dua Lipa's videos. That's what Lady Gaga's videos should look like in 2020. Not that garbage 'Stupid Love'.
  22. 2-3 months of rigid lockdown. But our lives won't go back to normal for a while. LOL!
