Sloane Stephens won the third round and will face Maria Sharapova next. She needs to mature and hopefully she will....sooner rather than later. For now, I'm just going to view what she did as the silliness of youth since I think she was only 19 then and 20 as of March. I hope she continues to do well and soaks in all of the life lessons she's bound to learn.

If she beats Sharapova, I'll be impressed but I'm waiting for Sharapova's beating from Rena.... I don't even chalk that up to youth tbh. Yeah it might suck to not being talked to -- it always does but GTFO with all that and I don't believe her for one minute thinking she was talking off the record. I really don't -- if it was off then your mom would not be trying to shut you up but when will these people learn to bring a tape recorder as well, so just in case on that one off chance you are right you have proof.

I think way too much about this stuff but Thanks Wales!

Isner is a dumbass...lol...he continues to get himself into these 5 set marathon matches....glad Tommy won though....Isner still has a lot to learn before he can challenge for a major.

Isner only has his serve (much like Andy Roddick), which would be ok if you didn't have so many players, with complete games, who can return it. Isner better hurry and win something because his knees won't be able to take much more of this. He is way too tall for the game and the other players are smart. Keep the balls low.

Marin Cilic, who is not quite as tall, is another one who is too tall for this game.

Isner has a good forehand too but doesn't know how to blow opponents off the court with his serve and forehand combo...I cant believe how big he is and still he cant control the points with guys who don't hit the ball as hard as he does.

I cant stand Marin or his game....his serve is cringeworthy....I have never liked him or his game.

You know, Gilles Simon has the same BH as Roddick. Two handed shoulders locked as he hops in the air most of the time. It's the most annoying thing, only I can tolerate Simone.

What do you think? Can Sveta send Serena home? She is a fantastic player, but I don't think her complete game is back, so if S makes it past Sveta, RG13 is hers!

I really want this!

    • i've never seen any videos of this ivan! if anyone finds any id love to see haha if anyone has any of the videos from the 1984 plots besides the couple clips on youtube i'd love to see those too !
    • @Maxim @draglover Character: Ivan Marais, assistant to Vivian Alamain. Actor: Ivan G'Vera from Prague. Jason47 has an old autograph here: https://jason47.com/days/autogvera.html
    • It is DAYS, Vivian Allamain's right hand man, Ivan (pronounced EE-Vahn) Same  guy is the red head fortune teller. (We are on a roll now with ID thee drag queen!) WOW, I do not have any memory of Evil Rex doing this. GOOD fory ou!!!
    • Okay, draglover, sorry I have now found a blonde in drag. Just didn't see them before. I had to watch it very slowly. Anyway, it's DAYS - Vivian - Ivan again, blonde this time, red head looking like a fortune teller in the other pic. Same actor/character/show.

      Wull, hey, is we a team all of a sudden or whut?!!! 
    • The blonde drag is also Ivan, I believe. The long straight black wig is Peter Barton when he was playing Eddie on Sunset Beach.
    • Sorry, I don't know the non-AW ones. In addition to the 2x Cass disguised himself as Krystle (1984 to hide from Tony Jones, 1994 investigating Felicia's disappearance), there was one occasion in October 1987 where Cass imposter Rex Allingham dressed as a woman and, claiming to be Nicole's Aunt Blanche, disrupted her date with another man. (At the time I don't think the audience yet knew that it wasn't Cass.)
    • THANK YOU SO MUCH. If there was any way we could sticky this post or make it so we don't forget where it is. I'm going to bookmark it for sure! AND WOW... Season 15 - nearly a whole month of skipped episodes. LOL.   
    • JFP was only as strong as her writers, which is why her output got worse and worse when she decided she was the only writer anyone needed. They could have easily had a decent short-term story with Lando - maybe cast him as a terminal patient at Cedars, or a long-lost Bauer or Reardon who would leave town after his story is done and possibly return at a later date with a recast. He might become close to Ed and Michelle, similar to how Ed had taken Kelly under his wing years earlier. Maybe he could have been tied to Maureen's death, somehow - maybe we'd learn, after he ingratiated himself to everyone in Springfield, that he accidentally ran Maureen off the road during the storm. And when he realizes this he would, in shame, leave town, maybe leaving some Springfield lady devastated if they were about to get married (this could have worked with a better Mindy recast, or maybe a brand new character).
    • Notes I've made of skipped or faulty YouTube episodes are (I'll put in brackets the faulty ones, the rest are skipped episodes), that would be amazing if they could be replaced by higher quality Netherlands copies when they become available: 

      Please register in order to view this content

      S13: 3170, 3172, 3181 (faulty), 3203 (faulty), 3223 (faulty), 3255, 3278 (faulty), 3345, 3361 (faulty) S14: 3399, 3455 (faulty), 3479 (faulty), 3509 (faulty), 3555 (faulty end credits), 3580, 3600 (faulty), 3613 (faulty) S15: 3658 (faulty), 3667, 3668, 3669, 3670, 3674, 3678, 3679, 3681, 3682, 3684, 3685, 3686, 3690, 3692, 3694, 3696, 3697, 3699, 3709 S16: 4058, 4059, 4109 S17: 4137, 4194, 4262, 4284, 4358, 4362, 4371 S18 so far skipped: 4450, 4451. There may be further S18 episodes to replace in English if there are any further skips on YouTube, as many episodes from this season are just in German in the vault, and if they skip those, then we probably have to wait for an eventual Netherlands airing unless someone currently has them in English (currently the German ones needing to replace to full English for S18 are: 4477, 4485, 4486, 4492, 4493, 4494, 4497, 4514, 4515, 4518, 4520, 4522, 4523, 4524, 4526, 4531, 4538, 4541, 4575, 4612 - hopefully YouTube will not skip these, and they won't be a problem to fix). Also, jumping ahead a bit to future seasons, but does anyone have full English speaking copies of any of 4852, 4897, 5275, 5308, 5590, 5591, 5594 (as these are not in full or at all in English in the vault as far as I can tell)? Many thanks if you do! A million thank yous to all Angels helping out with these.
