Damn, I don't want to see the episode when everyone bids farewell to Nikki.

They probably won't even give her a farewell, it will just be Victoria or Nicholas making the odd mention of how happy she is away or "the role of Nikki Newman is now being played by...."

For me, we passed that stage movements ago.

Cute kid in that avatar!

I was a cub scout in Canada...but our uniforms were all grey and green. (And made of stretch jersey material that did NOT flatter me at that age)

Brimike puking??!?!?! You have the gag reflex?!?!

EVERYONE has the gag reflex.

Some people just work hard to suppress it.

It started out with this French Fan interview.

When some users started "puking" at the symphony reference, it was explained that the reference might have been taken from one of my posts, quoted here.

I mean The Office line.

  • Member
Really? That was her idea?

Yes, I believe so.

The only reason Generations gets any notice was because, let's face it, it was the only soap to start off with a core African American family. Other than that, it was a bore and completely lacked any depth.

Let's not even get into her DAYS stint...

I thought Mike was a mutant. An evolved human or something.

I'm pretty sure this is a veiled blow job joke.

*sigh*

I will truly never understand why just because somebody doesn't like a show, why somebody else isn't allowed to like it either? It doesn't make one right and one wrong, or one smarter and one dumber. It's just personal preference. Doesn't mean I'm kissing ass or sucking d!ck or too nice or too tolerant of other's opinions.

Somehow, it's perceived as weakness to accept that it takes all kinds, and there should be something for everyone. I always saw it as a strength, but I'm constantly reminded on SON that "You're WRONG"

Without a hint of irony...THAT is a very cute boy!

Idealist?

Actor?

Goes drunk swimming at night with the boys?

Drunk-blogs on SON!

Damn, you must be popular! :)

Very cute boy!

Popular, me? Never!

No, it's not. Honestly.

Speaking of, when is

Della Reese/Aunt Virginia

supposed to be on? Don't tell me I've missed

her

already?!

I don't think you've missed anything.

I haven't seen her yet either. Anyone know when she's gonna be on?

I hope everything works out, dmarex. We all love you!

A little late, but ditto. Hope you're feelin' better soon.

The fact that the show could lose MTS before losing various crappy actors is just mind-numbingly stupid.

Definitely. This show could shed a lot of dead weight before givin MTS the heave-ho.

The thing with the MTS situation is that I am mad. ATWT will never have me again as a loyal watcher after what they did to Martha. But i don't pay to see Y&R, advertisers do. If the advertisers aren't paying what they used to, stars can't make what they used to. As an idealist - having Y&R without MTS makes me sick. As a realist and an actor, I also know the show must go on. But if MTS contends that there's sexisim in the deicisons to cut actresses's pay and not the male actors then something stinks. EB is the only one on the show who is absolutely, without a doubt, irreplaceable. That said he's only as strong as his on-screen partner - MTS. She's aged, she's gained weight and she's never been a knock-us-out actress. But she's been the background to VN's forground for 30 years.

I also contend that Y&R's dominance in the ratings has always been because whether you watch it every day or just when you're at grammas house, you can always see mostly, the same front-burner characters you love. That is a formula - not just one ingredient, that makes the show successful.

PS - Please don't mention Hickland's name in the same sentence/paragraph/post as MTS's. No way in hell...

I just don't know why they can't give an across the board pay cut to everyone. They also have so many dead weight characters who must be paid something.

And if MTS is getting $200 hair cuts she should get her money back. Her hair is horrible.

The compendium is embedding disabled, but linked here.

As in the clip below, it is just the lowest common denominator humor that Michael Scott excels at:

Then I apologize for misinterpreting it. I may be a little hyper-sensitive. Message boards on the web are the only places one tends to get beaten up for being "nice".

Sincerest apologies.

It's OK. ;)

I actually like your positivity. It's refreshing & honest and such a total, utmost opposite of my views.

Seriously, though. Are you acting professionally? Is that your primary avocation?
