I saw that.  You could tell by the way she was acting the last time (well, the last time I saw) her on Twitter.  Someone posted an 'interview', but it was someone just trying to talk to her really.  Chris Evert tweeted it out and said, this is not OK or something.  But in the video someone asked her about where she's been, and at first she said 'can we go inside?' Like she wanted to say something. Then she looked sideways like someone was watching her (because I'm sure they were)...and then, the person who asked the question was standing right there...she said "I can't hear you, I'm sorry?"  It was so obvious that she's been yanked back/put in her place.  Did she appear at the Olympics?  I thought for sure, maybe I missed it, but it would be very much like them to trot her out for a lot of parade opportunities to show how happy she is.

I watched it. Lots of former players were there. My favorite Gabriella Sabitini was there. Nice to see her again. The atmosphere was a typical DelPo match. A full house crowd with no empty seats. I started tearing up when he started crying before the last game played.

Ugh.  Well not much solace but at least the loss was to someone from Argentina.  There's a part of me that still wants him to somehow stay in it and return.  I would love to see him advance a couple of matches at a Slam.  He would get a ton of support.

Tennis is the pits right now. Thank gawd Nadal won the first major.

We have the Greek God, hate the name, losing with a new coach in toe. You know Thomas Enqvist will be blamed for the loss. I really didn't care who won anyways but Enqvist deserves bettrr.

Dallas Open...nice to have a tournament in Texas but damn it's full of serve bots and who wins? FF to Brett Haber going on and on about how great American male tennis is and how Opelka is more than a serve bot and they have the nerve to show some meaningless stats. Can't believe they are still trying to sell this garbage.

On the clay we have Diego vs Casper...Mr. 250 Casper wins another clay court tourney.... Yawn...

But wait Brett Haber and Co. are saying how great he is and how great Rudd is on hard courts. Really?

Where's the receipts? It pisses me off that they pimp this guy when Thiem started almost the same way but refer to him only as a clay specialist. That he couldn't play on hard court. 

Yeah I agree with what Fabio Fogini said...tennis looks bleak with serve bots in existence.

Thiem where or where are you??

      He definitely got lost in the shuffle last year. First, they were implying that he was Drew’s son, then he was nothing more than just Violet’s bff

      And then they changed him to being Dante and Brook Lynn’s son, which was clunky at first but I’m enjoying the storyline now.

      GM is adorable, charming and fun onscreen despite months of nothing to do until recently, and has a bodacious bod. I'm not cosigning the show or this story - I haven't watched a full episode in over a month - but I think we're all taking the small victories in 2025 at this point. I'm open to testing this theory!

      Falcon Crest

      By te. · Posted

      I think Jason might've posted some numbers for the syndication a while ago and the numbers for Falcon Crest was horrible. Like 1.5 rating or something, which was terrible.    ETA: it was actually Paul Raven:   New to syndication 60 min Fall Guy 67 markets 3.1/8 Falcon Crest 110 markets 1.1/5 To get into the top 40, you needed a 4.6/9 rating for reference - and Falcon Crest managed to get into a lot of markets to begin with. In the fall of 1985 Dynasty, Dallas and Knots were syndicated (show / rating / share / coverage % / markets): Dallas 3.4 10 51.7 92 Dynasty 3.4 10 48.7 47  Knots Landing 3.3 10 12.5 20  So, Knots as an example trippled Falcon Crest's rating with 20 markets - I'm sure those were major ones but it just goes to show you how much Falcon Crest bombed in syndication.

      It's not bad but the stories move too slow. It's the same problem when Dan O'Connor was CO-HW with Van Etten, they have a million stories and they all drag on endlessly with no resolution. I'd argue the majority of the stories airing now are good but you get sick of waiting months for something to happen.

      Thanks. I must have missed that period entirely for Lifetime.

      Thanks. I know Marland did that type of thing sometimes but it's less likely with these characters. I don't even remember Alex ever mentioning him.

      French fan summary Rusty took over Simon's job at Lewis Trucking after Simon transferred to Lewis Oil's North Carolina office to live near Jessie and Calla. I doubt they would bother following up a story for offscreen characters eg marriage and a baby.

      I suspected that the performance with the reveal was the reason why the Ted actor got the axe and it looks like I was right. He wasn't really good at conveying what needed to be conveyed in those scenes. Claybon is at least slowly improving (but I agree that he still needs to work on his line delivery), but I do wonder what will happen when his big reveal is coming up.

      I've already asked this before, recently, but can anyone who watched those years more closely tell me if anything said about Jessie and Simon at the end of their profiles is accurate (about them marrying, naming a baby after Brandon/Lujack, etc.)?
