As bored as I am with the three pimping... the women's is worse with all these no names making the French open finals and winning. Its obvious the media is bias towards the big 3. How many times do we have to hear it?  And they wonder why the sport isn't attracting more viewers and growing.

It was in Lyon. Thiem was facing a left hander in the first round and he asked Nishoka if he wouldn't mind practicing with him. There was picture of them taken after their practice and posted on social media.

Grass just started and Goffin had a bad fall and was injured. He had to retire. Sinner was up in his match until he fell too and lost the set.

 

Love that there's two channels with both tournaments.

Well I watched the first 2 sets and my sister messaged me and said "Joker is down 2 sets!"  I replied and said, yeah, at least Tsitsipas can say he won 2 sets when Novak wins.  Went out for a run, worked in the yard, and watched the last episode of Bridgerton because believe it or not I still hadn't seen it - I had saved it.  Then I checked NBC and saw - shocker (cough) that the match we've all seen before happened.  Yawn.  I'm such a cynical gay man hahahahahaha.  Really, I don't dislike Novak just because really, he's been the least favorite among the top 3 usuals and he's had the game over the years to back it up but kind of does not get the respect that the other 2 get.  Federer will always be my favorite among them but I can't hate on Joker.  It is what it is, but I still think the French was a total bust.  I've been losing weight (down from hovering around 175 to 180) and down to 155 now...trying to get lower in hopes that Wimbledon comes through with some excitement and I will eat biscuits and cream and strawberries like crazy.

    • Basic script work; if it hadn't been for Jane Elliot and Rena Sofer, it could've been for any random character.
    • Because you are posting these things like they are true facts.  And they aren't. But whatever, Donna, you will just keep doing you.   Most people actually are trying to talk about GH in this thread.  Not random twitter/facebook/internet rumors you bring here.  I am just wasting my time even responding.    
    • This is a common theme with long running actors and preposterous storylines. Firstly they may relish the chance to play something different after years as that character-Ok I have an evil twin, possessed by the devil etc-at least it's something new to play. Secondly, no matter how dumb the plot it keeps them frontburner and valued to the show and the audience. Better than being a talk to. Thirdly, as VW stated in the end they don't have the power to dictate story and too much complaining can backfire and set them up in a negative light. Not a good position to be in with your employers. So they just buckle up and give it their all or act out the script till it's over.
    • Your use of the word "apparently" would need to include a source. Just your use of the word doesn't make it true or valid. Where would you get the idea that something has happened if you hadn't already received an indication from somewhere else, specifically a valid source (including Tabyana herself)? By using the word "apparently," you are implying this was mentioned somewhere, either in a publication or similar.
    • I think Hotel would have the similar demos as Dynasty W 19-49 would have been strong. St Elsewhere survived b/c it attracted wealthier/urban viewers and The Equalizer was probably stronger with men and younger viewers. So each had their own niche-good counter-programming. As for Aaron Spelling's influence over ABC in terms of scheduling, I don't know if he would have been happy with Charlie's Angels moving to Sunday, The Colbys scheduled on Thursdays or Matt Houston moved to Fridays. I think he just had to roll with the punches.
    • Thank you @Broderick. That information was so helpful. I watched the first episode of the "Mansion of the Damned" storyline. I was extremely confused by Margaret Colin's Paige and her relationship to other characters. Your post helps me understand what's happening. The rest of the show was easy to understand and I'm enjoying it. Hunter's Nola is a good character for me since I know Kim Hunter from other work.  I must have seen clips of Edge of Night before because I remember seeing April. 
    • How is it back tracking when it was in fact the word I originally used? It's not.
    • You know what is a great way to stop these unclear "rumors"?  Just stop posting them and then back tracking with words like "apparently".   Anyhow, I didn't find the Tracy/Lois scenes as good as I hoped.    
    • Jason, in thinking this over, I realize that we look at this space, differently. To me it is a potentially collaborative space. Now that I've realized this, what I should have said, "I'm having a problem because what I'm seeing is not matching up with your descriptions. Maybe these files I just got are misdated. Maybe it's something else. I will keep you posted. Meanwhile this episode, its edit, is ready, even though I might have to issue a corrected date later. But, people can enjoy the performances now.
