Video of the press conference

Really hard to watch. He seems tormented. I suppose anyone with chronic pain would understand.

Never cared for his game or him. I thought he was lucky to win all those majors but that said you don't want anyone suffering in pain. That said...won't really miss him on tour since he was never one of my favorites to watch. He was quite boring IMO.

Nishioka/Sandgren is an interesting R1.

Not a Nick fan, but this is a nice message.

Well, Tennys Sandgren won his first ATP title just now.

It means that he’ll go into Melbourne with a cushion as he tries to defend all those points from his deep run last year.

Ugh....I was for Cameron.....that means if he loses early he won't drop out of 100 in rankings...since he moves up to the low 50s...the worst he can fall is low 80s....

He is 41 now actually but will probably lose first or second round for sure in Australia. He has a tough draw.

Question. When I upload my photos from the Aussie Open and I make the album public, I would be able to share the link here?

BTG: Daily, Weekly or Monthly Discussion Thread? (Poll)

ah. okay I understand better now. That makes much more sense than what I had incorrectly assumed.

I just don't think Dani is that awful. It's typical soap opera heroine behavior. She adores Andre but wants Bill and can't stay away from him or that situation, whether she admits it in full to herself or not. I see a woman struggling with herself and making poor choices.
Is she digging her own grave? Sure. Is the character much more tolerable than she was this time last year when her character arc was largely revolving around breaking into Bill's house and collapsing on her kitchen floor after binge drinking for the third week in a row? I think so.

I agree with you about Bill. Note that I complain about Dani and not about Bill. He's coherent and consistent and content with who he is, while Dani is a hurricane inside of a tornado, changing her mind every day and ignoring the collateral damage.
This show can actually use more "people behaving badly."

The Guiding Light 1968

Thanks. I thought you'd be interested as well in the mention of the Paris student uprising in 1968. Though the uprising happened in May, Stephen mentions it in September. A lot of time, the outside world didn't get much mention on the show. But it did in 1968 for some reason. I love it when the show really shows what time it's from. Of course, there was a lot of mention of WW2 when it was happening. And there were mentions of the first commercial jet airplane in the 50s and such. Things like that. I was pleasantly surprised Paris got a mention. Especially because things like the JFK assassination didn't get a single mention.

I hope you enjoy it @Maxim
Such striking images.
Joan's grandson, who had been involved in the restoration of the DVD and speaking of her career and image, recently passed away.

I think/hope they are using this stuff to usher Tomas out. But we'll see.
The Hayley story should've wrapped months ago. It's idiotic it's gone on this long and it seems clear to me they were spinning their wheels for quite awhile trying to figure out what to do with MG long-term. If the Kyle Abbott thing pans out that's great and a potential avenue for Hayley (if the actor appears or regularly crosses over), but it's not an excuse to keep this going for what is now approaching a year. It's been deeply boring since the new year at least.
I actually love how Bill is largely unrepentant about the elevator sex. It suits his character and we don't see that attitude often enough in daytime anymore. He knows his rebound marriage is the pits and he thinks differently from most of the saints on canvas. Sure, he's an asshóle but it's a coherent character. These people behaving badly just doesn't faze me.

-- The worse AA gets, the more they give Tomas to do. This stuff is excruciating, and they have him meeting with everyone except Kat. What the actual hell.
-- I'm glad the Anita cancer storyline is wrapping. I think we can all move on now.
-- All of a sudden, Hayley despises having sex with Bill. Meanwhile, the "poisoning" takes breaks of weeks at a time.
-- Dani should just release Andre from this nightmare. She's moving in the most disgusting way. Let her go back to Bill so he can humiliate her again. I've really had it with her.
-- Today's show was one big meh.
