Sadly, when there are any Muslim victims, I doubt there will be that much investigation into whether this is part of a chain of coordinated attacks. 

 

 

According to this article, the gunman stormed the mosque and fired on praying people. Gosh, I hope I'm referencing an accurate article. You can never be quite sure these days.

@JuliajmsNo need to stand corrected. I actually meant to say "I hope I'm referencing an accurate article". These days, you just cannot be sure that an article is giving the most accurate facts.

 

Take this picture for instance.

 

 

Okay, the AP has the story as well.

^ The outright fake news trend is disturbing.  It's really true that certain lies get all the way around the internet before the truth gets it's shoes on. 

 

In both of today's terrorist attacks, I figured it was exactly what it looked like, but I do try to wait for the official word.  One of these days it's just going to be a pissed off person who decides to drive into a crowd and not a jihadist. In the attack on the Islamic Center, I figured there probably aren't many random shootings in Switzerland, but I always hope these things aren't what they seem.

    • A shame the Ben/Thomasina tease didn't go anywhere.  I didn't know until last year that they brought Thomasina back a few days before Quinn was murdered. I guess it's nice that they got those last moments of happiness but then you remember they never would have brought her back if they weren't going to kill Quinn off.
    • Very. It's VERY annoying, too. 
    • I just remember Kristina coming on to her slightly and val freaking out
    • Not trying to be a contrarian, but I don't think the show needs a rival family.  Rival families have been over-done on soaps since the 1980s. And it might make the show too predictable.  I'd prefer they beef-up the have-not group with perhaps a couple of workers from the Country Club and one or two Dupree servants, joining the existing group of have-nots.  They could all know one another without being a real "family."  That would give the audience more opportunity to see Fairmont Crest life from the "backstairs."  To me this would be a far more interesting perspective than another wealthy family to rival the Duprees.  
    • I wonder if that's why Valerie quit. I think some of the magazines at the time implied issues with Valerie and the producer, although I may be wrong. Painting Diana as going bad would have made more sense to me near the end of her run. 
    • Carter & Thomasina were also stuck with a baby almost immediately and didn't get much to do after they finished high school. Carter's father was killed off and Marley drifted out of their friend group because of Jake. They left town after Carter's father died (of tomb dust!) and before Quinn died (unreasonably murdered by the Sin Stalker for dating Zack Edwards).
    • She most definitely would. And I would enjoy watching it! Yes, I agree, that was a very touching moment in her interview. It helped me feel much more connected to her as a performer. I also got the feeling from her, Live with DD, that she wanted to go deeper in conversation.   
    • It really does feel like JG is getting off on torturing Shick fans.
    • That part I am not sure about, maybe Depboy might know?  The thing to remember about the show at that time was, it was so plot-driven and desperate that characters and their motivations changed virtually overnight.  There was a period of time where Diana Taylor suddenly became a bad guy and was in cahoots with Cameron Faulkner (toward the end of Valerie Starret's portrayal), which I HATED.
    • I'm going by clips so it's possible that the fan who did the editing made it look a different way than it was.
