I bet Wendy had no clue about that, I don't ever remember her dishing soap people on her radio show besides Shemar Moore (they used to play an audio clip of a dentist's drill whenever they'd mention his name :o:lol: ). I gotts see if I can find the clip online (Lord knows her show runs like four times a day) to see if she snuck in a , "Tuc, how you doin'?"

^^I have a feeling she'll get the hang of it (if she's given the time to do so), but radio is definitely Wendy's medium and it really shows. She just doesn't have the timing, the pace of television down yet. We used to listen to her during afternoon drive time, her show was pretty addictive ("Miss a day, and miss a whole lot!"). One of her other catchphrases, "It is what it is" also held true, there was a very casual, intimate, endearing quality to her radio show. They were always cutting up and screwing up, stuffing their faces and drinking champagne on Friday afternoons. I remember one time in particular something was going on in the next room and Wendy and her sidekick left their headsets and it was dead air for what felt like a good five minutes, such a "no no" by broadcast standards. But it's that kind of casual energy that I think served her much better on the radio than on TV, her radio show never felt boring and her TV show unfortunately drags a little.

I've loved Wendy since high school. Her radio show is my favorite, though. Again, it's that 2-6 slot that I'm used to getting my fix. Especially during the summer when I'm with my friends and we're stopping here and there or parked at a friends house and have the car radio on. It's a very "dish amongst friends" vibe she has. I'm happy for her TV show because it is a career move, but her medium is definitely radio for the kind of thing she does. There's too little air time in television to discuss and gossip.

Anyway, I'll try to catch it (we're old school -- no DVR or VCR's anymore, so if we see it, we see it. If we don't... oh well!) this evening on BET... if I dare. I'm part of the black community that is anti-BET.

I have the Whitney/Wendy interview saved on my hard drive, for occasional laughs. That was a trip. And Wendy handled herself like a true pro.

She needs more controversial guests and more gossip on her talk show. People who don't want to go to her, but HAVE to go to her to promote their movie or CD to urban auds.

I like when she asked Aubrey O'Day if she had botox or a nose job. LOL.

Yeah, I wish I'd made more of an effort to catch her radio show more often, it's like we'd go for months at a time tuning in, then life/schedules would change and we'd miss it for another few months. She went through a lot of "ish" as they say, allegedly violent/sexual harassing husband, lawsuits, budget cuts, suspension, firing of Charlemagne... I think for her (and for me as a listener), the loss of the Bonus Hour here in the tri-state area was the last straw, it was her (and my) favorite hour of the show. I listened to her final radio broadcast, and of course she got a little choked up at the end but promised that she'd return to radio someday. I believe her. So I miss the radio show yet I'm relieved that I don't have to keep up with it if that makes any sense. :P

    • I think they’re desperately trying to cover his awful tattoos. But anyway them being unable to style short kings properly has been a major pet peeve of mine for a while now.  I honestly don’t understand what some people expect from actors to even begin considering them for recognition. Let’s be real—awards mostly mean that an actor is respected by their peers and has some level of cultural relevance. Actual judgment on the acting itself? That’s often secondary—highly subjective and shaped by the times. I completely agree on both points. If you’re an actor or a dancer you shouldn’t get any tattoos (sorry not sorry). Tomas’ tattoos are ugly too. And regarding the couples- you’re completely right. These writers are unable to write romance.   Further comments: - Kat cannot be this dumb to keep tampering with evidence over and over again. And I’m officially not a fan of the actress—every time she’s in a scene with Leslie, she doesn’t seem intimidated at all. She plays it like comic relief, which is just too much, especially when paired with Leslie’s histrionics and over-the-top antics. Leslie is older, dangerous, and has literally been portrayed as homicidal—Kat should be at least a little scared. • I also didn’t like Kat playing damsel in distress with the hotel manager. It gave off the same weird energy as Dani with the cop. I would’ve much preferred the version Paul Raven suggested, with her sneaking in through housekeeping. • And yes, Dani again accused Hayley of faking the pregnancy—this time even specifying she might be using a pillow under her shirt. (No fake miscarriage being mentioned) I stand by my take: this is ridiculous writing. No one in the real world—except us, the chronically online soap watchers—would even think of such a conspiracy theory. Haley is no Beyoncé. • What in the world was Chelsea wearing in her hair the other day? And this whole thing with Madison is beyond cringe. Chelsea’s coming off as needy and toxic—basically like every other Dupree. • I’m glad the casino storyline is moving forward, but it’s still boring as hell. Honestly, I’d be so here for a plot twist where Vanessa and Doug take Joey out. • The direction and editing lately have been rough. Abrupt cuts, weird pacing… something just feels off overall. There’s a strange uneasiness to how it’s all coming together. • And finally: Tomas is too much of a saint. Where are the messy sluts when you need them? (Vanessa doesn’t count.)
    • I was watching some August 1987 episodes and they brought back so many memories. I had some thoughts: Lisa and Jamie were so dull. Lisa was such a nothing character. It boggles my mind that so much story was centered around her in such a short amount of time. Joanna Going is a talented actress, but the material was just not there.  It was so good to see Wallingford and Mitch again. I know there was talk about Felicia a while back, but these episodes reminded me how integral Felicia was for the show.  Sally Spencer was done so dirty. She is turning in superb performances in an icky storyline. I wish she had stuck around longer. She has chemistry with everyone. The McKinnons should have lasted longer. Spencer had some strong stuff with Stephen Schnetzer and Mary Alexander. AW waster such a talented actress by getting rid of her. Justice for Cheryl too. I also missed Ed Fry when he left. Sandra Ferguson was a star from the moment she came on. She was charismatic and just popped. She had immediate chemistry with RKK and blended in well with Wyndham and Watson. I'd forgotten about the teenage Matthew.  I have no memory of Peggy Lazarus. She must not have lasted long. Was the original plan for John that he was going to turn out to be the twins' real father?      
    • If the new and improved copies that @rsclassicfanforever has uploaded can be manually moved into the "by month, by year" folders, that would be awesome. I personally don't think it's necessary to keep the older versions (which either have Dutch subtitles hard coded on them, or are lesser in picture quality). That's a lot of valuable drive space that could be cleared. Just my view but can appreciate others may feel differently. The structure had been by month by year previously, so I think it would be easier to conform to that, where so much prior work to get it to that format has already been done. Hopefully you can "drag and drop" so the new copies are in the right month/year? Re Clips, I never look at them now we pretty much have the episodes in full. Appreciate others may use, however. Thanks for all your hard work here @BoldRestless!
    • Oh yes defintely, Josh Griffith repeats and repeats the same storylines.
    • Isnt’t this storyline similar to the Cameron Kirsten situation though? Sharon thought she killed him. He ended up being alive and Sharon was being tormented with thinking she was seeing his face everywhere and that’s how we got that iconic scene with her and Nikki in the sewers.   I understand in Mariah’s case this is different circumstances but it does seem like a play on that whole thing. Maybe I’m wrong. I just wish if they were going to make any character follow in Sharon’s foot steps it would be Faith. Mariah wasn’t even raised by her, and her personality is different. I would expect her to take a different path. I understand I could be completely jumping ahead because the storyline hasn’t even played out yet but we’ll see. 
    • Thanks again @Paul Raven Monica was completely without redeeming qualities at this point. I always found the whole Monica = Carly narrative regressive, as I don't think shows comparing characters so heavily is ever a great idea, but she's actually worse than Carly was. Was it the Pollocks who had Leslie have a miscarriage?  Giving her a child, especially by rape, was not a good idea, but a part of me wishes they'd committed to it just to see what story it might have had in later years.
