No, because the assertion you assign to me is a blatant lie. You try to say I say black people is why gay marriage failed. Provide that quote please. I said the dramatic voting against civil rights by one group by such a margin was noticeable. You posted some ridiculous essay saying that even if every black person voted for, it still would have died. That was never my point and doesnt even begin to address the rampant homophobia. My point was that the 70% margin shed light on bigotry and that if I am going to fret about discrimination on OLTL, it certainly isn't going to be about Destiny, Evangeline or whoever while the network is flat out scapegoating gay people and characters. You can't have that because everything for you must come down to you being on the cross.

There's definitely a way to go about expressing your grievances, and "publicly" is almost always not the right way, right off the bat. People do not enjoy being called-out. It also helps to spin it like you're sad and heartbroken opposed to angry. ^_^ I have no problem with what VR has to say, I do think *she* has a problem if she's dead set on this all leading her back to Y&R. Way too awkward of a working enviornment at this point. As others have said, I think the focus now should be on landing/creating a show where these things DON'T happen. But she said something very telling, it's like if you were the fat kid with acne and braces who everyone made fun of in high school, there's no satisfaction in now being a supermodel and going to the *neighboring* high school's reunion, you want validation at your home school.

To be clear, I didn't state that as fact. I was merely saying that if these are the kinds of actors who VR is alluding to as making more than KSJ, I do not agree with that at all.

Most of my career, and my partner's, has been spent in a professional or union environment so my expectations might be high. I can't imagine a situation where someone could parade a racial mimic around, in the workplace, without the person who did it being at least questioned. Not saying it never happens but when it does, this kind of thing makes it to the front page when it happens in my work environment.

No.

You said that you couldn't support Black People cause they overwhelmingly voted for Prop 8.

Then when facts were presented that disproved your assertion you had nothing to say.

Nowhere in any of my previous statements did I say that or anything like it.

The poll itself was in no way an accurate representation of...much of anything, actually.

The poll was 2,240 people.

10% of the voters were black (as compared to 6.7%, which is the total black population of the state)

70% of black voters polled said they voted yes

Rounding up, that's a grand total of 157 people.

The number of white voters who voted yes? Around 670.

The map also shows that the main no counties were all along the coast. Everything east of (and including) Sacramento went no, along with Riverside and OC. The only one of those areas that has a significant black population is Sacramento.

I'm going to end by doing one other thing: showing you the number of votes that non-Black people cast on Election Day in favor of Proposition 8, if I believe CNN's exit polls (which as I noted when I began, is the foundation for each and every anti-Black argument I've read on this site in the past 2 days.) You compare those numbers to the TOTAL maximum number of Black votes -- women AND men -- in this state if I give the racist haters every benefit of the doubt as I have done mathematically above -- of 504,000 votes. And then you make the argument to me that our segment of electorate is more to blame for an outcome in which we contributed -- even under the hateful math, only 4.9% of the votes. Please.

TC, Melody wore a rainbow clown wig, according to sources... so this is the basis of the accusation. Those rainbow clown wigs are afro, because it's the only style of hair where rainbow colors can stay separated, you can buy them in Wal-mart, and nobody pulls them off the shelves claiming they are racist. It's not like she was waving the confederate flag or anyhting.

Of course not.. everyone who knows me knows I'm the biggest prude in the world when it comes to substances. No alcohol, cigarettes, drugs or even coffee passes my lips.

    • He definitely had it going on back in the day
    • I have long given up on logic and Mayor Laura Collins! It makes about as much sense as Luke being elected mayor over Lee Baldwin in the 80’s, maybe even less sense. She committed manslaughter as a teenager, was involved with a mobster (I guess credit for them taking Smith down), had a shoot out in her home and killed another mobster in self defense, thought she bludgeoned her stepfather to death, then was catatonic for years. Her current husband had a twin that was a serial killer, had his own breakdown that threatened lives, and most recently hid his brother for treatment and that allowed Ryan to escape and kill again. And had hook killer Esme as a houseguest and is raising her child. I don’t care for Sonny anymore but their relationship is just another thing that involves suspension of belief to watch the show. I wish someone on this show would remind these adults that they used to pull way worse stuff than this! I would love a scene where Laura is sitting with Lulu and tells her while she is not happy this is nothing compared to what she got up to when she was young, and maybe even some understanding that she would also do stupid stuff if she believed in the cause. Olivia reminding Dante that he was wild as a teen and this isn’t that. Felicia reminding Anna that they were being shot at when pretty close to Emma’s age. These characterizations are just so basic. Have some fun with the actual history of the show. That kind of wink would mean more to me than just name dropping some random fact.
    • There are no dumb questions here, we've all known each other long enough to fill in information without shaming each other.  We want you to be happy @carolineg.  Your POV as one of the few women here is vital. So, please, I hope you never feel as if any question, idea, or opinion is ever silly or stupid.  Your daily reminders about the realities of manicure and menstrual management has become a part of the personality of this thread. As for Hank, while I'm confident there's a plan in place.  It is frustrating that they announce these casting so far in advance that it is tough as an audience and wait it out until the thing happens.  I'm happy they didn't blow it the second Mike was in town, a week after meeting Liam. So, it is a slow burn.
    • I think his full name is Chadwick.  I remember, back when the previous actor was playing him, someone called him Chadwick a couple of times.  It may have been Stefano.  
    • I didn't like those two sleeping together, but I suuure liked seeing BF in them. Wiggle and all. Just sad about the waxing of the chest.   Same.
    • It’s strange. I wonder if the writers at that time had worked with him somewhere else and had a relationship? That time is murky AF to find info on. Rachel Ames in effect left the show at one point in the early 80’s and she is credited like she was there until JFP. Tristan Rogers also took various contract breaks that were not short, and websites also credit him one long stint from 1981-1992. So many people come and go in short succession in 1982-part of 1983. I know they lost a lot of viewers when Genie left, but the show somehow survived yearly at number one through like sheer force of will.
    • In that way, at least we were fortunate.  The Daniel Pilon/Ron Raines decisions...not so much.
    • Letting Brennan put it in yet again while smirking over his shoulder... any day now! She's got him just where she wants him! I do think ol' Jack will be dead by February at the absolute latest. They have set him up as a counter-heavy to Sidwell, forcing poor Joss to work his next scheme or threatening to have her sent down for treason. Once he croaks I still deeply fear we will be subject to Valentin and Carly, partners in crime to lovers, possibly out to find out 'who killed Jack'. Anna was at her best keeping Sonny at arm's length and often somewhat cold, which she only really did (for better or worse) off and on during Carlivati's tenure. But Finola gradually got too emotional over Sonny, Jason, etc. and was allowed to do that onscreen too much long ago. Mulcahey brought some of that steel back, though Finola still managed to choke or quietly sob through some of that material as Anna found her way there lol. She's a brilliant actress and she did a good job with that stuff in '24, but now we're back to the same old and it humiliates the character whether she knows it or not.
