I always thought the purpose of the Off Topic Lounge was to discuss any & all things off-topic...such as phones, weather, etc. If we didn't discuss such things, what would we talk about?

And Sylph, I have a hard time believing we're not meant to partake in such mindless babbling, when you yourself were just talking about Britney Spears with Jack a few posts back. So what makes this thread ideal for talk of pop divas that we love, but not how weather has been affecting our region or what cartoon characters we grew up with......?

And it probably was. But no one wants to hear about it. I recall that before it wasn't like that - it was a place for witty banter and that sort of thing, then people came and posted the negative stuff and some tried to save the thread by talking about weather, phones, iTunes etc. And then there were those mysterious posts, the double-entendres, which people hated because they were on purpose mean and secretive and because no one could figure out who was the person or thing in question.

The cartoon characters talk was amazing! I loved that one.

You can talk about anything you want, Actor87, I'm not the post police here. This is a free and democratic board and if you obey the rules, you can write about anything you want. :)

So my friend just called to inform me we are going to the gym tomorrow night. I was like "Really? Wait.. We dont have membership!" And he told me he just bought us two months each at 24 hour fitness.

I was still like "Really? The gym?" And then he told me why - they have a suana and steam room. as well as free 15 minute massages. hell yeah. thats my kinda gym. and its located down the street from In N Out!

    • The actor who plays Martin has been teasing that nobody has guessed Martin's secret. I love that for things like that and the June story we have no idea. I feel like if we didn't have the day ahead feeds Anita's reveal would've been shocking as well. I love that they aren't going the obvious route with these stories. 
    • I tried following the news in Los Angeles at https://laist.com (independent public radio and news) They had up-to-the minute accurate info during the wildfires in January. There's no video, no impact to my mind as to what's happening. Trying other outlets, to get the truth, but it's hard.  
    • That's a bit murky since that happened during a writers' strike. Assuming Kristen Marie had a 2-year contract she left about when her contract would have expired and Sharlene and Josie showed up right before that. Lemay was officially credited as HW from September 1988 but it seems very probable that his anticipated tenure influenced events that happened during the strike which started in April. 
    • I've seen so many posters over the years who are bright, creative, well-versed in soap history, and who care deeply about the integrity of the genre. I'd put the shows' chances in their hands a lot faster than I would allow any of the "usual suspects" to take control of the dramas they've already helped decimate. When I returned to university in the 1980s, I created a bible for a new soap and presented it in my screenwriting class. It was in reaction to how badly I saw the network shows being butchered at the time. The creative process was thrilling; a total joy, and I still smile when I remember the positive feedback I received from the professor and my fellow students. I was used to seeing written commentary from professors on my work. This one wrote me a long, complimentary note on the final page of the bible, but also graded it 97%, A+. I was beaming ear to ear for days!

    • Thanks. I do wonder if Rose was meant to be more given the caliber of actress they hired. I remembered Sara and Peggy staying longer as they were still on when Soapnet started their repeats. I wonder if that was part of the reason they brought Jake's brother in. 
    • Speculation about Missy Reeves' potential evolution on basic civil rights doesn’t change my opinion of her. My view is shaped entirely by her public social media presence—which I find unpalatable—and I have no interest in learning more beyond that. I simply liked Jennifer’s hair and dress. That’s as far as my admiration goes.

    • Cheryl was gone before Lemay came back but I agree with your thinking that he would rather a character from a family he introduced to the show than a family he did not originate.  I remember reading somewhere in the early 90's probably after DS left as writer, their was an either a writer or a producer who made a comment that their intent was bring the McKinnon family back to AW.  Would have made sense for the newer viewers from the 80's.  Much like Lemay's attempt to bring the Frames back from his writing in the 70's in his 1988 return
    • DePriest left in January 1988. According to the AWHP, Rose last appeared nearly a year before in February 1987 while both Sara and Peggy appeared as late as October 1987.
    • Annie was not brought in as an antagonist for Reva. Reva wasn’t even on the canvas when Annie first appeared in late 1994. 
    • The speculation……….very entertaining.
