ICAM! And what gets me is that they don't understand why other people hate them and then they turn around and go around, defaming their country and holding up hate signs. Its like they don't get it and whats really sad is her daughters look like they would be nice, pleasant girls but they have been brainwashed. The kids are getting caught in the crossfire because of their bullshit. Its like the lightbulb isn't coming on. And Fred Phelps is just as crazy as they come. They have the feel of a cult. This is how a cult is defined:

Do they not fit that to a T? I just wanna know how these people made their way into Kansas <_< . And they say nothing ever happens here!

I just wish rosie o'Donnell would of did the interview or even Bill O' Reily, they would of exploded with anger on those people, especially rosie since they are condemning her lifestyle. I wasn't impressed with the timid reporter, I felt like he only got somewhere with the girl that was in college.

He was probably scared I mean I would have been too. Look at the way that they acted :blink: . And Fred was the worse out of all of them. He asked a simple question that required a simple answer but he went off the deep end. He is kind of senile if you ask me. As he gets older, he just gets crazier.

Sorry, guys, but that's not why.

He's a journalist.

Journalists are to remain impartial. He would have sacrificed credibility by going up against them.

Not all journalists are hypocrites like that Fox News channel woman who got all up in Shirley's face.

That was justice, but it was HIGHLY unprofessional.

Another thing that got me was the whole marriage thing. Okay, a scenerio but how is their "message" suppose to go on if they don't marry, have children to pass it on? Get what I'm saying? There is just something not right here. And then there was that nonsense about it being the end times but still, its like they are cutting off the line and I find that to be very alarming. It sounded to me like they were planning some type of suicidal type of thing, like with Jim Jones. It just didn't sound right to me. And the whole giggling while telling someone their going to hell; its kinda hard to take it seriously.

    • Watching the cult of Fetterman collapse is one of the few political bright spots for me. The best part  is watching all the people who built him up now decide they want to tear him down. I'll be fascinated to see how this ends for him. https://buckscountybeacon.com/2025/05/pennsylvanias-democratic-senator-john-fetterman-raises-alarms-with-outburst-at-meeting-with-union-officials/

    • Long ago, this Rachel fan channel uploaded a number of clips of Rachel with Felicia during the alcoholism story, and this one in particular stands out for me.

      And then you have this scene, which is the dark mirror of the above, especially the final moment: By the late '80s, especially after Wallingford's death, those times were gone, and Donna Swajeski added further misery to Felicia with the Gold Street backstory. Luckily, after a bit of time the show found a good framing for this new twist on Felicia. The stories with finding and losing a love from her past, learning that a woman she hated was the daughter she'd spent years searching for, sinking into alcoholism, they all fit into the type of material suited for the '40s and '50s screen goddesses.  When Dano tried some of this old weepy type of material when she went back to ABC, it mostly fell flat, as the atmosphere wasn't the same and her character always felt shoehorned in. It worked perfectly at this period on AW because you had Iris, you had Rachel, you had Donna - you had a number of tough-but-vulnerable women of a certain age, most of them grandmothers by this point, but still trying to find love, find themselves. This is what AW could have had earlier if they hadn't dumped Pat and Alice, but better late than never. This is an approach you saw more often on British soaps than on US soaps, which for a number of years respected women in that age group. Both UK and US soaps have done away with this, both countries having the ladies devolve into perpetual ingenues (with added doses of endlessly self-aware camp in the UK) or just being shipped off entirely.  You could even see that on AW with the treatment of Iris (shipped off, never to be mentioned again, too old to return), Donna (repeatedly humiliated and crippled), Felicia (regressed into degrading herself with married John), Rachel (mother to newborn twins, put into lengthy periods of trauma through her new relationship with Carl). 
    • I'm of a certain age where I caught some of Upton's final year and it was not great but Jean Holloway was worse. All I remember is Bambi, Bambi, Bambi!
    • Yes, of course, all of those servants added to the overall picture at AW & also people had relationships with those servants! I like it when Anita asks after one of the servants at the club, how their children are doing & like that. 
    • Great scenes between Marlena and EJ today. Paula and Jeanne are making EJ have more depth than Ron had during his long drawn out tenure.
    • Might as well say it, Minority opinion, granted, but I like Joss & I'm okay with this WSB story & i hope that Emma will be their next recruit & she & Joss can be partners.
    • Thanks again @Paul Raven  The Arlene/Ben/Betsy triangle is one I wish I could see for myself as on paper it doesn't tend to excite me but I can see how well-constructed it was. I wish I could see the Rick/Meg relationship too, although I wish they'd had him genuinely fall for Meg after he gets together with Cal. The whole Brooke/Deacon/Bridget story on B&B was horribly damaging to Brooke as a character but it was dramatically very sound because I could completely believe Deacon would fall for messy and vulnerable Brooke after finally settling down with the more docile Bridget.

    • According to the head writer list, it seems the show may have started to fall apart while either the Schneiders or Upton were writing.  And when it started to crumble, it crumbled fast.  It was sad to see everything Labine had brought to LOL be disassembled.
