Me either.  I said in another post, I can't stand him...don't know why.  Maybe he's nice, don't know.  But he never makes me want to root for him and always looks unhappy.  Not my kind of person.  I'm a Roger fan, but was pulling for Joker to win the slam when he got there.  One thing I have to say, it did take him forever to be in the conversation about the GOAT, and even still, I heard the really rabid Roger and Nadal fans still saying things like, even if Novak wins a slam, he still won't be the GOAT.  Even I have to admit, he pretty much came in and disrupted the big 2 and was the only one to do it while they were in their prime.  While not on the same level at all, it reminds me of Seles and how she's never in the conversation about the greatest players of all time, and I'm not sure why that is.  # of titles, no she does not have them.  But I believe she had more slams before the age of 19 or 20 than any other woman, and she did it by beating Steffi in her prime.  Similar to Maureen Connelly we'll never know.  But anyway - Medvedev, I have to agree.  That was a long rambling post, lol.

I always thought Paul was a trumpster! Supposedly his parents struggled to get him where he is now. They don't come from money. I just wish he'd stop hanging around with the likes of rich golden child Fritz.

From what I have heard, he's not but I admit that I am usually wary of American players, especially the guys. Paul is, at this for this weekend, standing in the way of having us have to listen to the endless carping about American men not coming through in tennis tournaments.

    • The AMC hate came from Jamey Giddens/DC and their industry friends, IMO. For whatever reason I always felt they targeted the show, and it was wrong. AMC ratings were decent and even went up under Pratt (Yet, he was fired). The ratings were also good under Broderick and lowered out after her interim.  There was no reason to be upset with the show other than it being slow. They literally played it safe and did the best they could in 2010 and 2011. 
    • I have very detailed synopses of all 1976 storylines for the soaps from the Daytime Serial Newsletter. Please let me know if you are interested in a particular show and I will post it in the appropriate thread. As I stated they are very detailed, so I don't want to clutter up threads if posters are not interested.

    • Surely we (and Billy Flynn) are not going to be saddled with a character named Aristotle Dumas? This isn't 1970's Edge of Night.
    • What annoys me a little bit about the "day players" is they sound a bit too "Brooklyn-ish" sometimes.  Obviously, the show was taped in New York City, and the actors are all New York actors, but Monticello is supposed to be located in Illinois or Ohio.  Occasionally, they grab actors and actresses for small roles who have VERY distinct New York accents, which contrasts sharply with the main cast, none of whom have noticeable accents (except for our dashing European gigolo, Eliot Dorn, of course).  The heavy Brooklyn accent works fine if the character is a bookie, or the owner of a pawn shop, or a guy who's selling stolen guns on the street corner.  But when it's a steadily recurring character -- such as the first Mrs. Goodman, who worked for Miles and Nicole -- it's pretty jarring to me sometimes.  And you'll see it often -- such as an "under-five" character who witnesses a car accident, or a character who witnesses a shooting, or the occasional desk clerk, or waiter.

    • That's always been my thought. I can't imagine that the show would play up the unseen AD so far in advance without them casting a *star*. After today's episode, I wonder if he'll somehow be connected with Diane. It was strange that Diane mentioned her very distant family today. I can't recall Diane ever talking about her backstory. Maybe he's her much younger brother?  It's also possible he's connected to Diane during her time in LA. Sally's already said she crossed paths with him. OC, I think Dumas is Mariah's mistake.... As a side note, it was good to see some mixing it up - Adam with Clare/Kyle and Sharon with Tessa.
