The price the public pays for letting money determine the caliber of most of our elected officials. The way to preserve my mental health at this point is probably to ignore Florida, Virginia and whomever else wants to "confess" to their racist fantasies because this is all too much.

IKR?  She looks like she's carrying the weight of the world on her shoulders.  If she becomes ill as a result of this pressure, the media will have themselves only to blame.

 

 

Agree.  There's an entire section of this country that longs for the return of Jim Crow, while the rest is doing everything they can to lurch ahead.  If survival means leaving behind the South and the rest of the MAGAts, then that's what we'll have to do.

I think if the northeast and the west coast were physically connected the U.S. might truly decide to break up.  Giving the enormity of our military industrial complex I can only image what that would look like if it happened. Much like the USSR breaking up I guess, with loose nukes here there and everywhere.

Oh, that won't happen. The reason they are so desperate to stop immigration of any kind, is that they know when the Latino population in Texas gets to critical mass, and the state flips, it's game over. Then of course, they will want the electoral college gone when that happens. Beto O'Rourke got more votes than any other democratic candidate in Texas history.

Knowing McCain over the years and hearing how ignorant his daughter is on TV makes this the least surprising thing I have heard. The worst part of this is how superior she acts after the smear her husband went through at the hands of George W Bush in the 2000 campaign and their crying about that. Those who have claimed not to be racist- showing their colors.

 

She hasn't apologized to the victims? Typical

    • I would wager that was because it was a new character for the likes of Devon, Lily and Nate to interact with. Watching the likes of Billy fall in love again-Phyllis, Chelsea,Lily and now Sally is repetitive, especially when he is no prize. Josh doesn't really do long term couples. So every year or so they swap partners. It diminishes them as characters as they don't seem to grow or learn from the past. We know those characters so well and they've been through just about everything, so the only solution is to involve them with new characters and have them react to the newbies drama. They tried with Ashland and the Rosales but Josh dumped the latter and wrote so badly for Ashland who could have been a long term antagonist. All we got was another short lived marriage for Victoria and another accidental killing. And Josh thinks having them sit in restaraunts for the whole episode talking business, mergers, takeovers and job switching is interestring. It's not. I feel sorry for the actors who must know they are serving shite.
    • If I were to cast a Soap Opera veteran as Jan.. I would have picked Krista Allen (of Days and B & B fame) since she did move to the Atlanta area in late 2023... and knows all there is about the Soap opera way of filming.  And I could see her playing Ashley's mom.
    • Is the set for Lulu's new house an updated version of the set used for the childhood home of Luke, Bobbie and Pat Spencer?
    • I feel like AMC would be the easiest of their soaps to revive but a reboot seems cursed at this point. I wish we had more insight on what was pitched for the primetime reboot as well as these movies. That would give us a better idea of why it keeps getting shot down.
    • Mansion of the Damned sure is a "talkative" horror movie.  In the past when I've watched those episodes, I was paying attention to The Edge of Night characters and not really zeroing in on the rehearsals/blocking/filming of the actual movie.  This time I've been following the plot of Mansion of the Damned pretty closely, and all I can say is Hester Atherton and Nicholas Harriman are about the most chit-chatty Witch and Devil I've ever heard in my life!     
    • Ashley and Derek have been so isolated that I need the show to develop something, anything to justify their presence. It's not that I think Joey being her father will be the greatest story ever told but at least it would be something and connect her to more characters. I just need the show to move forward with them. Out of all the characters, these are the only two with no storyline/development. We have recurring characters who are better used with less screentime. If the show is going to keep them on contract they need to do something with them.
    • I never thought I'd say it, but SC is B&B's best male actor - by far. SK is next. Has there ever been a US soap that has so much female talent surrounding by Himbos? KKL, JMW, HT, KB, AN, RB could be/have been leading ladies on any other soap. Even the secondary females are the ones who carry their scenes. It's been rare periods when B&B actually had a few solid male cast members. JMW really did a great job in the scenes with AN. Considering everything we've witnessed the past couple of years with Steffy/Hope, I thought reveal may ring hollow. JMW proved me wrong. No doubt this is Emmy material.
    • You won't even accept a minute cameo from Ms Marcil herself so she can collect her cheque?
    • Which has also slowed down from 100 pages a day, but I digress.

          Yeah. When even I am getting annoyed with it (and still need to catch up on DAYS new team...two weeks behind now grrr) enough to take a break...and B&B holds my interest more for a show where nothing is going on...it's a BAD sign.   Seriously thinking about that break until

       Then we go from there. I just can't believe JG just went and lost all the momentum that was built up over the last month. And during May Sweeps, too? No, ma'am.
