OMG I just realized that Kim Zimmer was pregnant with Jake Weary when Reva was pregnant with Shayne. I was watching GL live when I could in the late 1980s/early 1990s. I feel really old now

Great..this is as close as its going to get of me wanting "my" soap people to be in a room drinking, talking about the shows and watching the paint peel...Kimmer..thank you! Everybody looks great..LK looks amazing, MG/RN look ageless...Kimmer looks great and love her voice and laugh.,.,miss it, and her sense of humor..and really how cool and gracious she is..(love her saying MG would make a great Juila Sugarbaker in a remake) Makes me angry what they did to Ross and what GL could have been if it had stayed on...he truly was the patriarch of Springfield. Loved the shout outs to Charita and Larry, who in college  we all wanted as our dream grandparents.

 

Absolutley loved the take on the crappy storylines..with Newman dissing the clone and Zimmer rolling her eyes at the whole thing...and hilarious "jumping into Cyrstals boobs to jump through time!"And MG talking about the "show dwindling down" and KZ nodding her head!

 

More..More..I would love to see GA,MOL, JE, BC, the first Mindy,  Lisa Brown, PS, MK ,and yes, even Deas on the next one.

Where is Jay Hammer these days? I'm truly curious as to how he's doing.  He worked closely with both BMc and MD, I bet he'd have some entertaining insights. I'd also love to hear from Jordan Clarke as I am fascinated by long-time actors (especially when they originate their roles) who no longer act. 

All those people who have been mentioned, I'd love to see/hear from. It would be interesting to hear from Lisa Brown who has now spent a great deal of time working behind the camera to get her perspective on the contrast. I've really never heard MK talk when she wasn't being Vanessa, I want to see what differences/similarities they have. I bet GA, MOL and KT (Mindy #1) would have a ball.

 

ATWT has over 10,000 and if they get another 10,000 I think it's more likely we'll get more of these livestream events sooner, rather than later.  If both GL and ATWT continue to get more views, who knows?

B&E.

 

It was amusing camp, and at least brought the town together, but the whole thing was so ludicrous. It's amazing that Holly managed to remain intact as a character. I guess it helped that we at least got some type of followup with her breakdown and recovery.

Yea, it was B&E and their "Story that has never been done on a soap before"  mantra...(i.e. a major character is behind it all, not a day player.)  I think it paved the way for Days later making Marlena the "Salem Stalker"

 

I liked it too, but it just ended so badly, something Newman alluded to in the dumb jumping through paintings storyline. "It was fine, until I joined you jumping in and then it was just stupid."  The NR storyline could have been saved if it wasnt for as Maureen and Zimmer laughed about..."I kidnapped all the kids and I was serving them hot chocolate or something."  Holly threatening the moms was good and the "accidents" went a bit far but could have worked, but they had to go for the BIG ending and of course, Reva saving the day again...(it should have been Ed, Ross or even Fletcher.)

 

I just wish someone talked about the stupidity of the island and the mob.

      Brook Lynn has been working my last nerve for at least 2 weeks. I was so relieved when she blurted out her teen queen story to her grandmother who is the most wonderful person in the entire world!

      Just caught up and these episodes were absolutely amazing! Ambyr Michelle was soooooooooo good, and I felt so bad for Eva, I actually teared up. I love that Andre was nice to her, that was my favorite Andre moment of the series thus far.

      I don't need to warn you that if you like this & want to keep it download it. Now, isn't she positively amazing?!!! Well, IMO she is. This is only the first episode that I've got her in. I think there will be more.

      All true, and all an enormous problem on this show. -- The business stories are maddening because none of it makes any sense, none of it has any connection to the real world. As you said, sitting around and discussing mergers, takeovers, and job switching is not a storyline. -- The deck chairs are constantly rearranged on the Titanic -- that's what this show is. Summer, Chelsea, Sally, and Chloe have been in design for how long? And we've never seen ANYTHING from them. Carrying around an iPad isn't enough. BOLD is terrible, but at least they show us dresses from Kohls and jewelry from Amazon. -- I know it's baked into the DNA of the show, but I will never enjoy seeing Jabot and Newman treat each other as if no other companies exist in the entire world. A new magical line of cosmetics is not going to bring down a company like Jabot. -- This is a writing problem, not a budget problem. An enormous amount of cash is not needed to write compelling business stories and show real products. This is writer LAZINESS.

      Right? GOD FORBID Vanessa be allowed to cut her own mother-in-law down to size, when REVA REVA REVA needs a rival to sharpen her claws on. RME I mean, they could have, but Long and Curlee (like most HW) seemed to forget about characters once they left town. If they mentioned Trish five times in the ten years she was gone, I'd be surprised.  Yeah, Alex didn't really do friendship, other than Lillian. And most of the time, Henry.  And somehow, by the time she leaves, Sonni is some friend of Mo's? Mo is just everyone's default "friend". SMH.

      I really have no problem with Kai as a character or with the actor. The problem is putting together two very nice people -- Kai and Trina. Neither of them has a bad side, neither of them has a devil on the shoulder, neither of them is impulsive. I think that's a problem in a soap relationship. Yeah, I agree. All this freaking out might make sense if Lulu wanted to do a tabloid expose on BLQ's LOVE CHILD. We have no indication that's the case.

      So Sonni would have somebody to talk to who she wasn't conspiring with (Will or Alan)? Alex kept telling Sonni how important her friends were...when she had virtually no friends. Instead they created loyal servants like Jane and Vera to give Alex people to play off of. They did that with Iris on AW, but Vivien was mostly there for comic relief Alex keeping Marah's paternity a secret was absurd. But I still love the scene between Alex and Alan where he convinces her by reminding her how they protected each other from their abusive father. Chris and Bev ATE that scene. Unfortunately, that took place only a few months before he exited the show...always thought they could have built on that, explored more how being Brandon's children screwed them both up. Maybe even used it as an explanation for the way their relationship could constantly swing from hatred to love. Instead of it being merely dictated by the plot.

      ALL: Drag/Crossdressing Disguises in Soap Operas?

      By Xanthe · Posted

      The first one is Cass Winthrop dressed as Krystle Lake on Another World (not from his original creation of the character to hide from the loan shark Tony the Tuna, but at a romance convention trying to find out what had happened to Felicia who was missing). The second one is also Another World, Jake McKinnon as Doris although I don't recall what his purpose was.
