So... you think it's fair to say I won't be reprising the role of Schuyler Joplin any time soon? Humor aside, what happened to OLTL and AMC is tragic and unfair, in my opinion. Such a skilled cast and crew. My thoughts are with them. Apologies to those of you who found my joke to be in poor taste. I get it. Humor is just a way to cope. I love ABC, they are family to me.

LOL at Tonja, never knew she had a little Brenda Dickson in her.

I love SL but I'm less interested in seeing her act as much as be herself at this point. Especially if we can't get some projects where she breaks out of her brand. I liked how in Double Edge she did the little Bensonhoist accent for the federal agent, little things like that. I don't think her voice is quite strong enough for a sustained Broadway musical career. She'd be better off in a stunt casty straight play. I'm still rooting for a reality show though her life seems a little too *lovely* to sell. -_-

And yes AMS, lol at putting a food show and a weight loss show smack dab against one another, they cancel each other out.

I doubt she would be coming back anyway, and if she did it would be for more bad comedy. If Frons is as apathetic as he seems to be then he wouldn't care who does or doesn't show up at OLTL, and he would let Tonja return. Alex 1991-1993 was just a brilliant psycho, one of the best soap characters ever. Alex after that...not so much.

This was the kiss of death right here:

"The Deadline.com piece is just the latest story in a long line of stories about this same topic. There is no change for the current ABC daytime schedule."

And that was just a few weeks ago.

Just the latest in a long list of lies by ABC.

I love her, especially back when Alex was Asa's wife and the mayor, but Tonja Walker has always been a little off. I remember 5-7 years ago she did an online interview and could not stop rambling about Catherine Hickland, who she had likely never met, and the character of Lindsay, and kept insisting Lindsay had to die violently in order for Alex to reclaim her "throne."

9/11? Ouch.

    • Yes!!! Mona feels  like one of my aunts, love the way she carries herself. Loved seeing Eva pop-up at the gambling place.  Monday was all around good soap. Can't remember the last time an entire episode held my interest.  Loving the fallout and reverberations from Ted and Shea-Butter Sheila's affair

      . As nice as it would've been to see Anita embrace Eva, I'm glad she didn't because we can squeeze a lot more years of conflict out of Eva, Leslie and the Duprees.   Lauren & Sheila, Viki & Dorian, Katherine & Jill all gave us good conflict for decades. Hopefully this follows suit. I understand the concern. Right now there's an issue of quality of black representation on shows more so than quantity of black shows. I'd like to see more predominantly black sci-fi, legal, political, supernatural or medical dramas over the typical who is sleeping with who. However, this is a soap, and this is what happens on soaps. White soap characters do these things all the time, but have the luxury of being seen as individuals, not representations of their entire race. Husbands/fathers like Todd Manning, Victor Newman and Asa Buchanan cheat, lie and swindle all the time but aren't seen as a commentary on white men. Black characters like Ted and New Dollar Bill should be able to do the same.
    • And that area of the DMV has a high-end glamorous casino the MGM National Harbor. 
    • Even under the new writers, Jamey episodes are the shortest and the weakest A lot of people were unnecessarily clowny and bitchy today. There was a lot of fluff and filler too. And the dialogue was a little… ehhh as well. But welcome back, Kevin! It’s been a long time lol his return still seems really random but I don’t mind it. Philip’s actions make sense to me based on everything that’s happened to him lately and it could possibly set up more tension between him and Xander/Alex. And I wouldn’t mind seeing him and Kevin team up. I thought the actor did a good job too. Too bad that they couldn’t get Robert Benvenisti back though. I didn’t realize it in 2001 but he was hot

      And, we got the word that Arianna wants to come home. I’m looking forward to that, and seeing her relationships with Gabi, Marlena, etc. on display and I hope that

      As for Rachel’s birthday party… was Days hinting at something that we’ve been speculating about since EJ was shot?

    • Portugal qualifying was the only shocker. I'm really happy for Iceland. IMO, the automatic finalists – Spain, Switzerland and Italy – had the best performances. I love the studio version of Azerbaijan, but on stage, it was a disaster.

    • Randy (Doug's friend who works for Joey) -- Joey told Randy weeks ago that Joey's plan was to get Doug into so much debt that Doug would be forced to get Vanessa's real estate holding turned over to Joey, to use for money-laundering.  That's been the plan all along, which the viewers knew.  The only thing new is that Joey finally told Doug this. I think Joey is written badly.  I also think Jon Lindstrom is doing "Now I am going to act menacing".   But I don't really feel the menace.  It's too overdramatic and it doesn't feel like a real person.  Jon is a fine actor on GH, so I don't know what's happening here -- the entire BTG mobster premise is badly designed/written.  I don't know if Guza pushed for a mobster storyline?  Or did Jon?  (Jon wrote a novel about Hollywood mobsters). It just doesn't fit.  It feels (to me) like this storyline for Jon was just shoved onto the canvas but it doesn't fit all all. Monday's scene of Mona coming into the "casino" to check up on where Leslie supposedly lost money in the slot machines -- and Randy explaining to Mona that there are no slot machines, there is nothing but the card room.  I had to laugh because they had characters comment that it's just a card room and not a casino -- the show is now acknowledging that there's nothing there.  If they are going to do this, then have it make sense for Fairmont Crest residents to visit a high-end glamourous casino, and not a random room with one table. So what money is Joey laundering? A while back, Joey told Vanessa that he knows about her sexual philandering because owns the escort service that she'd been using. But I don't care...  I'd just prefer that the entire mobster storyline go away.
