I hope Ari gets some more work out of this, at least. I guess that's crass to say but it will raise her profile as an actor. She deserves that at the least.

 

My stomach turned for her. It oddly felt like a violation closer to home, and I know I wasn't the only soap fan, castmember, crew hand or production staffer to feel that way. As silly as that is.

^ I feel like we've reached maximum levels of despicable.  Someone in the thread said they don't know how any non white can vote for Trump, but really, how can anyone? I know there are blue collar white men who think Trump is on their side, but damn, that's just desperate thinking. Why would you think this rich man who has never shown an ounce of empathy for another living creature (that I can recall) would be on your side? I'll be the first to say that Hillary is a member of the elite now, she's talked about it herself. However, at least she has middle class roots, self awareness and has shown compassion and understanding for other people.

Hillary's worked for people her whole adult life. Whatever else you can say about her, she believes in public service. The only thing Trump believes in is himself, and even that is a constant struggle to not be laughed at and overcome doubt.

That F.ucker article leads to an interesting one about the man who came forward to defend Trump about the alleged assault on Jessica Leeds. It sounds like the man is a lifelong publicity seeker and con.

 

Trump really is bringing all the refuse out into the light, isn't he.

Yeah, I hear her surrogates say that all the time, but any career politician can say the same. I guess I'm cynical, but I don't really see any of these people as particularly altruistic. Not that I need them to be, but at this level of politics, it's about power, not public service.  Frankly, I think it's kind of refreshing to see this kind of raw ambition in a woman. In her position, I would have retired to a beach town to spend my millions long ago, but she just keeps on trucking.

You can be both ambitious and altruistic, and you can find extremes at either end at many points in your life. I think her record since college speaks for itself, both good and bad, and I think it's mostly on balance good. You don't. That's your prerogative.

Of course he is guilty.   His own video admits to what they are accusing him of, but this ex-reality show star I am a little skeptical of.   Her perfectly timed tears, the fact she decided to have a press conference, the celebrity attorney...its all a little much.   Call me biased, but the moment someone is a reality star means that fame and press is always their number one concern. 

 

Trump's character witness for the airplane story is pretty funny.  Apparently he has a history of being in the fringes of sex scandals.

    • Nothing makes sense on this show. I wish there was a garbage can emoji. That sums up 90% of the show right now.

      Jane Wyman return episode was head-to-head w/ Cheers season 8 finale. Falcon Crest broadcast syndication began Fall 1986, which overlapped w/ Oprah going national. AFAIK cable broadcasts were Lifetime and Soapnet. I have no memory of cable broadcasts on TBS, TNT, TNN, E!, FX.
    • After today’s rushed and abrupt exit for Summer I immediately realized that Josh & Co. were very blindsided by AL’s decision to leave.  Not the first time this has happened to JG either; see MM & HK’s exits in 2021, MM’s exit in 2022, and of course TSJ’s exit last year. Obviously JG and our executive in charge of nothing Steve Kent don’t have a good handle on casting disruptions. And Mariah having an offscreen affair is [!@#$%^&*] ridiculous!! Meanwhile Tessa’s blonde hair is overkill with the number of blondes on the show already. I said the same thing 3 years ago…of course it was utterly ridiculous everyone was mad at Sally for getting Summer he dream job (don’t ask lol) but there was so much the show could have done without bringing on the Marchetti angle.
    • Does the ball on GL where Philip revealed that he had forced Alan out of Spaulding count or was that not Philip's idea?  There was a ball on AMC where Adam revealed that he had bankrupted Palmer, I think (or was it the other way around?), but I can't remember who threw that.
    • Thanks for honoring Ruth Buzzi. She was a treasure. I'm glad DAYS let her have some fun. I remember Imogene Coca complaining about ATWT just giving her a drab guest part.
    • It's such a delicious set of circumstances that I'm actually a little surprised that I can't think of ones that exactly match. I've just got a couple of close but no cigars (the reveal wasn't public, like when Alexis told Dominique at her and Garrett's engagement party that Garrett lied about being married; or the revealer didn't come up with the idea of the party). Maybe I need to think some more about it.
    • Not too shabby, making her mark in only six episodes. There's a project for the soap historians -- characters with the least episodes/most impact.
    • Which could make sense , except that we have seen Mariah function for years w/o any real residue pain from her upbringing. Josh decides to randomly make it a thing, when a good writer might foreshadow that for months. It's not like he's just arrived at the show. He's been there for years . Everything seems to be thought out only a few weeks ahead. It's like Phyllis all freaky from being kidnapped when she has done a million other things that didn't seem to bother her at all.
    • Unrelated, sort of, but he looks absolutely nothing like Amanda Setton or Dominic Zamprogna so it's kind of hilarious they decided to make Gio their kid.  It's very clear this was not the original origin story for Gio when they cast him. He is a very handsome guy though.
