Eva Longoria was on today! Did anyone else see it? I'm glad that I did, Rosie asked her about her career before Desperate Housewives and she talked about her Y&R days. She made a comment that she doesn't say soaps are traning ground, because Jeanne Copper once said "What? Am I still in training?"

I love her so much!!

Rosie asked what she did before DH and Eva mentioned that she did Dragnet and Y&R. Rosie asked if being on the soap was great training and she said yeah but she brought up how Jeanne doesn't like it when it people say soaps are great training because does that mean is she still in training since she has been there so long. I am not sure if that is the exact quote but I thought it was nice that Eva gave her a shout out.

Not to mention that actors in the daytime bizz are filming 5 eppys per week and have dozens of pages to memorize. I happen to think that it's prlly one of the tougher genres to tackle. Those, like Cooper, who have stuck with it, only deserve that much more recognition.

I co-sign on the Eva Long-- Longoria (after seeing this interview, I made a challenge to myself to stop referring to her as LongWhoria) comment. It was good that she didn't just pass over Y&R by saying something "I did a soap..." She mentioned it like the legitimate production that it is.

I also hate the "training ground" comments. People in primetime and movies think they're complimenting daytime, but really, they're belittling it and all of the people who work there 10, 25, 30 years.

    • There probably would have been a good chance they knew of him, especially with his ties to Spaulding and his being involved in so much scandal (meaning there would be plenty of photos and articles around they both would have seen), but I agree the mask was silly, clearly just a TV moment.

    • I think all the suits are fit too tight, except for Jon Lindstrom's. DC lawyers/doctors are not all LA fashion elites. Yes, maybe Tomas would have a more modern cut to his suit, but an established guy like Bill wouldn't go around looking like that lonely button on his jacket was ready to explode constantly.
    • I do think there's room for optimism, especially with Amazon making enough new episodes to last until December. There's still time for the various players to get their ducks in a row. Guess we'll know soon enough! 
    • I do agree it's better to just have people pop back into town. I never understood why Roger needed a mask on an island, when neither Fletcher or Alex would've known who he was. And the vine...sigh. Couldn't he have just been sent crashing through a window or something?
    • When the announcement was first made, I did wonder if other plans were in the works. I guess we can always keep hoping, especially as the show has a small core cast.
    • @chrismlAbout Lisa, agree to disagree. Actually at the time she was the only thing my partner & I disagreed about. Naturally she was Team Vicky while I was steadfast as Team Lisa.  About John & twin paternity, I think that like the 3 pillows was a transitory idea someone had that no one else agreed with. More of the attempt to accommodate Philece. About MJ, co-sign, 100% agree, if there were more degrees I would claim them. About Wally & Felicia, always a fan. Mitch? Eh, take or leave. Although I do agree that WGE is a really striking man. Who have I left out? I don't know so that's all I got.
    • RIP Wayne Lewis.

    • Dallas peaked early, IMO. Maybe not a fair statement as I’m still making my way through the first half of its run, but I think it’s hard to argue to point that S3 into S4 was its high point. Back to Knots. Wrapping up “And Never Brought to Mind.” Greg’s introduction kinda took me by surprise. I low-key dreaded his arrival bc I know he very quickly gets to the center of the show, but even though they wasted no time connecting him with Mac, Abby, Gary, and Karen, it still feels like a gradual intro. The juxtaposition of the ending of the Chip story with the heating up Abby’s plotting is quite symbolic of the changes the show was going through. I absolutely cannot imagine Kenny and Ginger having any part in any of this. Yall, the Gary/Val piano theme that they pull out from time to time is my FAVORITE. I find myself humming it constantly.
    • Bloodshed is inevitable now. It’s another reason I’m glad Black people aren’t getting involved in these protests. As awful as this is, I keep reminding myself that 54 percent of Latino men voted for Trump. These people were put in harm’s way by members of their own communities and sometimes even members of their own families. Too many people decided to touch the stove.
