The cap shots are sorely missed. And I think B&B's PR department made a mistake when they stopped linking to SP's website and letting him interview the stars of the show from time-to-time. But Mr. Smartypants has never been less the gracious about the show. He so rules! I love what he said about Faithful Reader.

How nice to see Don Diamont back on our screens.

His intro is slightly lame (his big idea, as CEO, is to personally record a video blog with Stephanie???). Also, they have so quickly simply expected us to accept Bill Jr's existence, and his hasty ascent to CEO. This plays mightily with suspension of disbelief.

That said, what a SEAMLESS introduction. Don is simply playing Brad-with-a-beard right now, but that's fine with me. He fit instantly and naturally on the canvas. No "newbie startup" feel. Flannery is a great scene partner for anyone to start with, since she elevates everyone.

There is now clear and concise confirmation that Clarke is gay (or at least bi). Jackie came into an office and started rubbing up and down on Owen's a$$. Owen didn't know it was Jackie but he responded by saying "Now Clarke, stop that". I was surprised by that exchange because apparently Clarke has been groping/fondling him in the past. Furthermore, what kind of response was that from Owen? Shouldn't he have turned around and took a swing at the person (whom he thought was Clarke)? Instead, it was as if Owen slightly enjoyed it. LOL!

Straight men don't necessarily have to beat the [!@#$%^&*] out of a gay person who hits on them, or touches them. Just like they wouldn't if a woman they weren't attracted to did so. Just saying....

But Owen/Clarke is FUN!

Now I'm gonna have to read the transcript. Because I honestly missed this. I would be shocked if they went this way.

Beyond impregnating Sally, Clarke was always SO SWEATY (they drenched the actor) is his many early sex scenes with Kristen and Margo.

YRBB, in a perfect world, straight men DON'T necessarily have to beat the crap out of a gay/bi person who at least hits on them; but let's face it, TOUCHING is entirely different. Most straight men, if they don't strike back physically, will have an extremely unpleasant response behavior-wise. Owen's response was surprisingly laid-back. I think Owen liked it! LOL!

    • The actor who plays Martin has been teasing that nobody has guessed Martin's secret. I love that for things like that and the June story we have no idea. I feel like if we didn't have the day ahead feeds Anita's reveal would've been shocking as well. I love that they aren't going the obvious route with these stories. 
    • I tried following the news in Los Angeles at https://laist.com (independent public radio and news) They had up-to-the minute accurate info during the wildfires in January. There's no video, no impact to my mind as to what's happening. Trying other outlets, to get the truth, but it's hard.  
    • That's a bit murky since that happened during a writers' strike. Assuming Kristen Marie had a 2-year contract she left about when her contract would have expired and Sharlene and Josie showed up right before that. Lemay was officially credited as HW from September 1988 but it seems very probable that his anticipated tenure influenced events that happened during the strike which started in April. 
    • I've seen so many posters over the years who are bright, creative, well-versed in soap history, and who care deeply about the integrity of the genre. I'd put the shows' chances in their hands a lot faster than I would allow any of the "usual suspects" to take control of the dramas they've already helped decimate. When I returned to university in the 1980s, I created a bible for a new soap and presented it in my screenwriting class. It was in reaction to how badly I saw the network shows being butchered at the time. The creative process was thrilling; a total joy, and I still smile when I remember the positive feedback I received from the professor and my fellow students. I was used to seeing written commentary from professors on my work. This one wrote me a long, complimentary note on the final page of the bible, but also graded it 97%, A+. I was beaming ear to ear for days!

    • Thanks. I do wonder if Rose was meant to be more given the caliber of actress they hired. I remembered Sara and Peggy staying longer as they were still on when Soapnet started their repeats. I wonder if that was part of the reason they brought Jake's brother in. 
    • Speculation about Missy Reeves' potential evolution on basic civil rights doesn’t change my opinion of her. My view is shaped entirely by her public social media presence—which I find unpalatable—and I have no interest in learning more beyond that. I simply liked Jennifer’s hair and dress. That’s as far as my admiration goes.

    • Cheryl was gone before Lemay came back but I agree with your thinking that he would rather a character from a family he introduced to the show than a family he did not originate.  I remember reading somewhere in the early 90's probably after DS left as writer, their was an either a writer or a producer who made a comment that their intent was bring the McKinnon family back to AW.  Would have made sense for the newer viewers from the 80's.  Much like Lemay's attempt to bring the Frames back from his writing in the 70's in his 1988 return
    • DePriest left in January 1988. According to the AWHP, Rose last appeared nearly a year before in February 1987 while both Sara and Peggy appeared as late as October 1987.
    • Annie was not brought in as an antagonist for Reva. Reva wasn’t even on the canvas when Annie first appeared in late 1994. 
    • The speculation……….very entertaining.
