Nice to see Grigor and Naomi watching. I kept thinking Olympia could've been Grigor. Serena husband reminds of Grigor. 

Serena made too many errors. She hasn't played in over year so its not surprising.

I will have to look - I didn't know Serena played.  She had a rough round against Tan at Wimbledon but it was a long match at least.  Had done doubles at Eastborne.  She just played the Canadian and won a match before losing to Bencic and it wasn't that bad. So I get people saying she hasn't played in a year or two years or whatever - but...she has played a few things now.

I just think Raducanu is way overrated so to me a 6-0 looks bad.  I kind of thought Serena may be holding back a little bit and she had one more run in her that would be a surprise, but I think I'm wrong now.  

Aside from that I was watching a match recently - may have been California while the DC tournament was going on?  But anyway it was Gauff and Lindsay  was calling the match....and I wondered what Lindsay was smoking.  She said a few times about Gauff being a favorite going into the US Open.  Sorry Lindsay - I don't know who you're watching.  She's been on the upswing and it's certainly approaching time for it to happen if it's going to happen and it's RIPE to happen given no one is blowing people off the court in the women's game right now - and Swiatek I thought would be the definite indestructible player after Barty left....but long story, there's an opening for sure in the women's game, and Gauff should walk right through the door...but the favorite or front runner?  Uh, no.  Put the weed down Linds.  LOL.

From what I saw, Raducanu was more solid than she’s been since that fairy-tale USO run (she could have easily gotten rattled by the occasion yet remained poised), but Serena was definitely way subpar and lacked match fitness.

We’ll see if it holds, but Raducanu is currently running away with the match against Vika.

Edit: Two bagels back to back: one for Serena, one for Vika.

Trying on the producer’s chair for size?

Fans of late period As The World Turns (an era, I have stated that I didn’t much care for in terms of the writing) might recognize Davida Williams.

      No.  I recall there was also a mention about how distracting it was EOB's Gwen wasn't wearing nail polish as well.  That it was someone's pet peeve. And, yes, the fact characters can have a manicure in prison is the wildest continuity issue here.

      Can anyone remember Mary Ellen Stuart's run as Jenny? I'm trying to fill in the cracks for missing stuff that we overlooked.  Bulletpoints:  * Dated Ross * Rusty's police partner * Directly responsible for Dinah coming forward about George Stewart (Cam's father)

      But that's not weird... nail polish is allowed in prisons via commissary. Same with general makeup, haircuts, and hair colouring products.

      This is DAYS, the show that said you could brainwash anyone with simple kitchen appliances.  An actor's nail polish or lack thereof should be the least of our concerns, lol.

      It was not that she wasn't wearing nail polish, it is that she managed to get a manicure in prison

      "We're Knot Done Yet": the name of this lovely podcast AND what JVA tells her plastic surgeon at every appointment. In other news, Michele Lee is reminding me more and more of my old music teacher from elementary school, and I couldn't STAND that bitch.

      GH: Classic Thread

      By Khan · Posted

      I apologize if this has been covered already, but does anyone know whether Douglas Marland was HW'ing by that point?  If he was, then I see what he meant when he said (in so many words) that he had inherited a mess when he started at GH.  Aside from Alan and Monica, none of that material seems very promising.  The story with Mark Dante and the Corbins is the wrong kind of predictable (y'know, the kind where you know what's going to happen, but you just don't give a crap?), the stuff with Scotty and Laura is cute but toothless, I don't know WHAT the hell Gina and Steve Carlson's character are arguing about and Rick Webber has to be the dumbest man alive not to see David Hamilton twirling his invisible moustache over how to make a killing off Lamont Corbin's declining health.  (By the way, "LAMONT CORBIN"?  What is this, "The Shadow"?  And "Corbin Limited" sounds like some jive I'd hear over on Y&R.) In a way, it's kind of like watching today's GH, right down to the dialogue that's serviceable and pushes plot along but says nothing about the characters' inner lives.

      It absolutely was; the narrative was there, and they followed it promptly. Maybe that's back when women had babies at young ages?!?!?

      Thanks for asking that!  Back when we had another major event upcoming (a party or the concert), I had intended to ask what everyone here was planning to wear.
