I'm not one of those who thinks that celebrities should "shut up and dribble" but honestly, does anyone care about what Alley thinks? She has never been one that I look to for any sort of an opinion and even during her career 'purple patch', she can only be described as a kook at best. Why

With the RME emoji, I honestly thought she was being sarcastic. Oh well, who cares lol.

Did you guys see Hope Hicks and Kayleigh McEnany running around the White House with no masks? Nice to know they've learned something after testing positive. I so wish I could reach inside the screen and smack them upside the head. Idiots!!!

I'm in Northern Virginia and early voting has been heavy here.  I hope it's a great sign. The suburban areas have a lot of Harris/Biden signs up in yards.  I really want NC to turn over to Blue, and if we can swing Michigan and Pennsylvania and hang on to the states that Hillary had, we will win.  I still wouldn't spend time on FL - I just don't trust it and we don't need it.  Would be a nice to have, but if we can pull Michigan and Penn then we will be close to shutting the door on him.  Polls I'm seeing from Ohio have been disappointing so I'm at the stage where I wouldn't spend time there.  Pull NC, MI, and PA.  FL would be a nice surprise but I don't trust it.  

 

This has been another good time of shedding "friends".  Facebook and Twitter have been riddled with Rudy boy's lies and people are eating it like candy.  He's a crook.  Total crook.  So low, bottom of the barrel stuff.  I've cleaned house yet again of "friends".  So funny that the Dump's followers and Faux News spew the garbage - basically they're going to foreign governments to try to dig up dirt.  Treasonists.  And magically it happens (just like last time) a few weeks before the election.  Just the stuff you find stuck to the bottom of your worst trash can.

The NC stuff feels like Trump's people trying a psy-op...it's going to be very close.

 

It's disappointing and depressing, if not surprising, how much the message of just give up about COVID and let it happen has resonated. The one that bothers me most is people who say, "Who cares if cases are going up? People are dying less, so the treatment has improved!" Yes, who cares about incredibly expensive treatment that still leaves someone with longtime health problems. We are such a callous, heartless country. 

 

I'm also not surprised that Trump is pivoting to trying to drive up hate against Fauci, hoping it will egg up more base turnout. Whether it will work depends on how successful the voter suppression efforts are. 

 

The sooner the Democrats don't need Florida to win, the better. Trends are not good there and it is not worth the time or money.

Of course! It makes a lot of sense to choose someone completely unqualified for a job. I guess Ms Alley doesn't go to a qualified doctor either when she's sick, but instead goes to someone who can examine her quicker!

I will never understand why it's seen as a positive thing that someone who runs for political office has no experience in politics?!

    • Thanks for the fuller story.  Steve Guthrie was a loss to the show, but I can't really blame Nicholson.
    • Albee clashed with co-star Lee Godart, who portrayed villain Eliot Dorn . At the time, the Edge of Night cast participated in a charity baseball league with other New York-based soaps. Albee, an American, was very competitive about the games, whereas Godart – a French actor unfamiliar with baseball – was not as skilled. Tensions reportedly flared when Albee berated Godart’s athletic performance and even mocked his nationality during these games . Godart took offense and complained to the executive producer, who warned Albee to stop harassing his castmate . Albee either ignored this warning or didn’t take it seriously, and continued to needle Godart. As a result, when Albee’s next contract option came due, Nicholson chose not to renew it – effectively terminating Albee’s role on the show
    • I can't remember exactly, but I think the claim was it involved a team baseball game.
    • Sorry to hear that - take whatever time you need.
    • @MaximI sing this in my head so dang often!!!!   
    • Not as caught up as everyone else but I just wanted to add, the show being played for laughs is gone and I’m happy about it, that’s exactly how the show was during the strike.
    • I love the early years of GH.... Does anyone know where I can find information of the stories from 1963 and 1964??  Thank you!!

    • Uh, yeah, huh?!!! Seriously, that was a brilliant line but its acumen is strictly from how hilarious. We imagine Joss in Carly's kitchen breaking the news that she's realized she's gay & Carly is unconcerned & then drops that it's Emma she's in love with ... time comes to a screeching halt!!! I think Moss would likely be thrown hard against the wall. Can you imagine Carly & Robin as mothers of the brides together? 
    • @DRW50 Thanks for these. I had a procedure on my eyes and was just okayed for limited screen time the other day, but it is in short periods until Tuesday, when the doctor clears me.  I'll be adding in bits here and there, but Hoppers will be "hopping" after that. Upcoming: Rest in Peace, Denise Alexander, Ruth Buzzi and Priscilla Pointer Updating:   Max Gail, @Xanthe -- Will Lyman, who was lost in the shuffle a year ago, but his update from last year will be typed up;  New: Michelle Hurd and Shanola Hampton and others I'll b updating the edit-able profiles, too.
