juniorz, it's probably because I was FIRST shocked about people who drink their urine for some form of healness (I forget just what it's supposed to heal). I was shocked by that perhaps when I was 10 or 11, when a woman came on Sally Jesse Raphael or some other talk show and said she did that and recommended others to do it.

So my reaction to THIS is rather mild since the precedent for disgust, in my earlier mind, was drinking it.

also, remember, I was expecting to hear that she peed on Tom Pelphrey -- which, like the Jackby or Ashford/Benson scenes, would affect another person. What Kim does with her face -- however disgusting it may be -- is her business.

Plus, she doesn't do that anymore, right? That's what somebody said. So that's another reason why it's not so bad to think about.

NOW, if I saw some old GL clips I would just be MORTIFIED for the men she kissed -- I mean, essentially, they could be RECEIVING a woman's URINE on their lips! And THAT IS THE MOST UNFORGIVABLE, DISGUSTING THING IN DAYTIME!!!

Kim could have EXPOSED them to disease!!! :(

It's not very responsible when it involves another person.

I will just bet that most of you Kim haters have never met Kim. If you had spent any time with her, you wouldn't bash her like you do. How you can hate her when you don't know her. I have spent time with her on 5 occasions, and I have spoken with her on the phone twice. She is NOTHING like you say she is. She is sweet, kind and loving to her fans and fellow cast mates.

If she wants to put pee with moisturizers on her face, that is her business. BTW, you can take precautions in obtaining urine to make it pure. Just like you do in the doctor's office.

Come, don't make statements about an actor or actresses without KNOWING them.

That's the bad thing about the internet. It's very easy to bad mouth real-life people because you are anonymous. I would be more impressed if people were willing to say this stuff to someone's face (but obviously they never would). It's one thing to hate a character and not like their story, but some people really seem to hate the actors personally. I have strong opinions about who I think can act and who I think has issues, but I don't have any personal feelings about them, except the ones I know.

Well, of course, most of us have never spoken to or met Kim. But frankly, when you overshare stuff about your life, up to and including any wacky beauty routine you followed, you kind of invite some criticism into your life. Coming (or rehashing--'cause I had no idea about the pee thing) right after the GL eppy that spent a good five minutes making KZ/port-a-pottie jokes, was kind of a "perfect storm" situation. WAY TMI.

But, otoh, KZ can certainly control how arrogant she sounds in the press. There's a difference between "frank" and "obnoxious". And contrast this with the Erica Slezak/OLTL thing that manages to nail her bosses to the wall. I don't even know ES, and she didn't come off as arrogant.

      Yes, Nicole. DRAG HER!
    • Writers: Teresa Zimmerman Lynn Martin Director: Steven Williford
    •  Yeah, he is still dressed like Martin. He looks great, though.  Cute picture. Sober up, cause we need the tea.
    • Well, Claire did rig Rick's test results, but it was to flunk. They actually managed to get his correct results back after they were thrown into Cedar's furnace...I think? Everyone knew Claire changed them and Rick passed so that rewrite never made sense.   I agree. Pratt always seems "edgy" on screen (and her Locker Room interview prooved that it came from her personality.) I liked Claire causeing trouble and love Meta ringing her beads. Its just too bad that Abby left and they kinda just forgot Claire existed. 
    • Oh so they did sleep together. The retcon was just the medical boards? That makes sense. I think Susan Pratt, while a good actress, was just an unlikeable presence onscreen and soaps wrote to that most of the time. There was some potential for more with her when she returned in that stint, as Pratt was at least interesting to watch and caused some conflict for the stifled Bauers. Instead of pairing her with Alan and then disappearing I might have had her hook up with Danny. I think there was a lot of flirtation with Bolger's Philip, but they never crossed the line.
    • I haven't seen Melchior in the role, but it would be astounding if she's worse than Linn. Her rivalry with Stephanie was sidelined IMO because Linn was one of the few actors who didn't have chemistry with, nor raise her game, when paired with Susan Flannery. To be fair, she did show some signs of life in scenes opposite Darlene Connelly, but way too little too late. It feels like Bell finally woke up after the Thorne switchover and sidelined the Kristin character with Mick to 1 or 2 appearances a week. As a result, the show improved by leaps and bounds after she was inexplicably at the center of the show for most of 1989. Margo is so much more enjoyable when not tied to that albatross. Even Clarke is watchable with less Kristin interaction. She can't exit stage left soon enough. As for the new Thorne, I agree that Norcross feels like a Forrester a lot more than Thrachta, even if the latter is a better actor.
    • The cast said that scenes were filmed over a few weeks, with a preplanned hiatus in the middle, and it was all out of order.  I would *guess* that they used Chandler when they could get him? They also had to work around Leo Howard getting married around the time these episodes were filmed, but I guess they worked it out since Tate appeared.
    • Maybe there was a scheduling conflict or something. He still has the full time 9-5 in Atlanta, right? Julie was there. Idk if Maggie’s gonna be a part of it though 
    • At this point, the best nonpaywall coverage of Los Angeles (and anything political)  is in...the Tennessee Holler https://bsky.app/profile/thetnholler.bsky.social And as always, emptywheel continues to be consistent https://bsky.app/profile/emptywheel.bsky.social
    • Today Monday was the start of people arriving at the funeral, but the service hasn't started yet.  I know this is the nonspoiler thread but I think it's okay to say (in nonspecific terms) that the funeral episodes span a few days.  I won't detail it more here. Just sayin' keep watching.
