IT just depends on where its located and a bunch of other factors.

A lot of places much older than the USA dont care about gay acts at all. IDK about mirage because i dont believe in marriage in the first place so i have never read anything about gay marriage in other places.

True and not true--they might not care but they would care about an affair with the king in almsot all european old style countries--if it was made public like that (it's the old Edward the II thing of nobels gettign away with it as logn as it wasn't too obvious cuz they were rich and powerful).

Complete change of pace, but I was just reading on Wikipedia a mention of how Dorian hinted that there was another twist about Vicki's father when they were locked together last August in Asa's funeral scenes--the wine cellar. But we never found out what it was--could it be tied into the Alison Perkins mystery?

Again, it all would just depend. Would people care if it was Prince William or Harry? Sure, but only because they are famous. I get that a king and a prince are diff, but idk any other royals so... lol. And its really hard to judge anything inr eal life on this campy whack ass awful too long storyline.

Yeah, idk if theyw ere actually going somewhere or not. But Dorian might have just said it to get at Viki. There might have been a dropped angle. idk. But if it is Alisons secret that emans Dorian would also know and could set up a way for that secret to still come out. I personally hope they dont go where they planned on, but...

:D Yes but the royal family in current Britain and the way royalty--and life--in Mendorra is shown--an extreme state ruled by monarchy, guards everywherre, ban on media, a big buff guy with an axe sitting around to cut heads off for the smallest reason is very diff than Prince Harry (and I still doubt one of the ROyal family in England currently could come out easily). But yeah it's a silly story and is over--for now (too bad it ended up making Carlos one of the least threatening bad guys ever)

This was the wikipedia quote that reminded me of it again:

"In the summer of 2007, Viki and Dorian were trading blows again over Dorian's renewed relationship with Clint Buchanan. Following Asa Buchanan's funeral in mid August, they once again found themselves locked away and trapped together, this time in the Buchanan wine cellar. Dorian and Viki raged at each other, with Dorian challenging Viki to face the emptiness in her own life. Dorian also made a startling claim: That she had killed Victor Lord after all! Viki reminded Dorian that Tori had "killed" Victor and that Victor had in fact never been dead after all, but Dorian dismissed the Victor that appeared in 2003 with "if that was him." Dorian offered no further elaboration on her claim, and no explanation as to who the real Victor was, who had killed him, when and how."

Yesterday was a perfect mix of camp and drama. You have the drama and intregue of Langston's lost relative, and then you have the ROFL stuff involving Mendorra. Andrea's delivery was priceless!

I finally get a sense that the stories are finally starting to progress and move forward. Has anyone noticed that RC is setting up stories almost the same exact way he set things up before the BE/May reveal? The number of Llanview residents keeping secrets is on the rise again.

Note to self: Watch shows written by either Coral, Tomlin, and Page.

    • I know! It's like second verse, here we go again!  Agreed. Certainly there was concern maybe even fear at the highest levels for the very good reason that what they had was so economically successful, so of course this risk was scary but if anyone was brave she was. Yes, he was. I have seen her associated with getting it on the air one other place but no details nor official title. Not the writer or creator so it made me wonder if she functioned as a kind of uncredited ad hoc producer, but then maybe she just supported it. At any rate that is nothing but supposition on my part. No data! Yes, not a surprise anymore but still so frustrating! On one hand I am appreciative that she is included in this book, but scholarship where are you?!
    • that wasnt her point. She wanted to further demonize Ted; that was the main focus of their talk. She wants to ensure that Nicole leaves him so that he's free and single to be with her. At this point, I dont think she really cares what Nicole thinks of her; she just wants her out of the way Eva is Nicole's stepdaughter and is a Dupree by association. If Nicole takes Ted back then its reasonable that she would accept his daughter and i that happens, Eva will have welcomed to their country club, be invited to their parties, have access to their resources, etc....much like Andre whom also isnt a blood Dupree but is accepted by them via Nicole. Eva got what she got from Anita bc of Hayley. I think its important to remember that context bc they just dealt with an interloper that infiltrated their ranks and hurt her daughter in the worse way. Now you have another unfortunate girl positioned to do the same to her other daughter. The feelings are still too fresh and she doesnt want Eva to get the idea that she would ever be allowed the opportunity to play them again
    • Oh I've seem this! That's part of why I'm curious! The show could put EastEnders to shame on the gangster Aspect! Oh I've seem this! That's part of why I'm curious! The show could put EastEnders to shame on the gangster Aspect!
    • Eve was one of those characters that had the "Jessie Brewer"role. They had heavy storyline, they burned through it and now they are there for support and a touchstone in the community (Marland wanted to give Jessie story, but I agree with Monty...she best served in her connecting role, and keeping that damn Amy Vining busy so she keeps her nose out of things) So charcters are important and why they should have kept characters like Bridget around (even as she is more volatiles then Eve) who didnt need a big storyline but could have been behind the bar making connections and expostion, but Rauch wanted JEVA/JEVA/JEVA and DRAMA (which to him meant a lot of yelling and stupidity.)
    • Why do I feel like (or remember possible

    • A number of errors in the above article. You wonder how with all that research,how  they slipped through. I think they are conflating Women Alone with Lonely Women. I have never read anything of a serial called Women Alone. However,I am prepared to be proven wrong.   It seems Irna actually WAS interested in TV soaps as witnessed by These Are My Children airing in 1949 on NBC in the early days of TV.   I don't believe that was reluctance, rather simply good business sense as radio's dominance began to wane.   Inferring that was somehow connected to Irna who was off that show 10 years prior.   Again inferring that Phillips leaving 6 years prior had some connection to the eventual cancellation.     Again these two events are in fact one. Irna left ATWT only once in 1970 and returned in 72. She was not working on another P&G show at the time. So either she brought the ratings up or they dipped, depending on which above account you believe   Untrue. A World Apart debuted 5 years after she left AW. And AWA aired longer than a few months. Over a year in fact.   I believe Orin Tovrov was the writer. Irna was not involved in the creation of this show. And no mention of Masquerade an Irna serial  which was on air around this time.   TBD finished in 1962. As we see over and over, these inaccuracies are published and accepted as fact.
    • YES! While I objectively found the writing on RH (particularly during its first few years and then again in its final days) to be excellent, so many of the principle characters were unpleasant, and totally turned me off. I could never settle down and become emotionally involved with a group of people who grated on my nerves.
    • Ugh now we get a Emmerdale and Corrie crossover soon. ugh.. How desperate 
    • This show is definitely not one to deserve the axe.  especially the New Year’s Eve episode was crazy wild! there is a place where u can download nearly all episodes from October 2019 til today. But they don’t accept new people. https://youtu.be/aD-IXEJjymU?si=19wtpwthSNYOe-4y   this is from this years winter break when the returned. I loved it
