Serena and Hewitt take Brisbane! Congrats to Serena. Maggot Lleyton, who cares?

Looks like Sloane and Annacone have kissed and made up. He will be joining her for AO14.

Sharapova continues to be Serena's bitch 15 - 2! We are approaching 10 years since Maria has beaten Serena. However, she played some really good Tennis, especially after returning from a 6 month haitus! Depending on the draw, she has a better chance at the final than Vika if Brisbane is any indication. Something is missing with Vika's game, and I don't see her as a threat to S at all. Could Sharapova finally step to the plate and not strike out against Serena?

I DVR the Serena match..so she won....Good...cant stand whats her face....and ugh...Lleyton Luna won....now he will never retire after beating Roger and winning a title since 2010....Lleyton needs to retire..and Roger what a bad loss for him. I can see him dropping out of the top 10 this year. Aussie Open next Sunday...yay

Former US Open-champion and two-times Wimbledon finalist Patrick Rafter will play in the men's doubles tournament with Lleyton Hewitt!

Great to see him back on a tennis court again, although it probably won't be for long. He's my all-time favourite player. A great player, and by all accounts an equally great person off the court. wub.png

Pironkova dropping to her knees after winning her first WTA title almost brought tears to my eyes. It was such an overwhelming experience for her. Great moment. The Germans are so fed up with Kerber.

There's an article on Camilla Giorgi about how she may not be able to stay on tour because she does not have enough money. The investors her father put together a few years ago want to be paid. She did well at the US Open and won about $160k, but once everyone was paid, no returns for investors. They are not happy at all. Gonna try to find it, if for no other reason, it really gives a good picture of what someone who might not be in the upper echelon of tennis goes thru financially.

THE Extreme Heat Policy has been implemented at the Australian Open on another sweltering day at Melbourne Park.

The tournament referee has suspended the start of any further games on outside courts and matches currently in progress will continue only to the end of the current set, when the match will be suspended until further notice.

The roof has been closed on Hisense Arena and will be closed on Rod Laver Arena at the end of the current set before any urther games take place.

No play on the ouside courts before 4.00 pm at least.

    • Looking at those totals it seems most contract actors are on a 1 or 2 week average guarantee. I assume contracts are still operating on 13 week cycles so you would have to know the particular actors contract starting date to work out their guarantee. The question remains as to what actors listed as contract are actually recurring? Bryton ?
    • Yep, that scene was at the conclusion of the Derek Thurston vs George Packard storyline, when Kay decided neither of them should run Chancellor.  By the time she put Victor in charge, Victor had been on the show for months & months with his Rolls Royce, his ranch, and Newman Enterprises.  SONY released some Y&R "trivia cards" in the late 1980s, and one of the questions was "who brought Victor Newman to Genoa City?" The answer on the back of the card is "Kay Thurston, to run Chancellor Industries", and it's a wrong answer lol.    
    • I think someone said it did exist, but I can't remember.
    • The bit with the scarf reminds me of the fabled stuffed animal scene with Rick and Phillip. (That wasn't debunked, was it?)
    • Ohh, interesting. I instantly gravitated towards her in that episode. Of course I'm already hooked and want to know why she was trying to poison that older lady, but then how did the older lady know to switch the mugs so Susan drank her own poison...  but I have too many timelines I'm watching right now haha.  Oh, Bolger is definitely hot. I didn't realize he was on GL haha. I knew him from OLTL and other primetime stuff.
    • This is a effin shame. Eff Trump and eff the bastards that enable him.
    • I 100% agree but I think this is due to how the show is structured. It's a one family show which means there are no people in her age range that could be used as friends or contemporaries of her. The show definitely needs a second main family. I am glad someone finally said this. Especially now that the cast is gelling in their roles, he stands out like a sore thumb. No energy, no chemistry with anybody. He is just there.  I thought that was odd as well! The previous scene would've worked better as a tag for the credits.
    • That's the one and only Carrie Nye (Mrs. Dick Cavett) as Susan Piper, a deadly realtor. I don't want to spoil a lot if you ever want to see those episodes. She returns as another character in 2003. I think Grant has aged well and he always did a good job at being ripped without going too far, but he was never entirely my cup of tea either. I did think John Bolger was hot.
    • Totally agree. KKL looks great! It makes the Widge groveling so bizarre. Brooke needs to leave FC and with $B's/Liam's funding launch a rival fashion house with Hope, Rick, Katie and a secret designer. The best scenario is that Rick has been absent because he's been with very much alive C2, who is revealed on the runway as the secret designer. It'll never happen because B&B is comfortable just focusing on FC and the Forresters Marones v. Logans. But it'd been so much more interesting if the Spencers/Logans united.
