A- .GIF use, it would have been an A+ but Sammi is in it, tho she would be an upgrade as Kendull.

Are you stuck in 1994? Thats the only way you could even try to argue that we have an amazing, beautiful, flawless Actress in the role of Kendull. B)

That's great to hear Susan say that about Agnes, but I don't think Agnes was ever really pushed aside. Even under Frons (not that she would want to work under him) I'm sure if Agnes had asked to return as HW, she would have been allowed to. That said, I wouldn't be shocked if she was against some decisions (the way even sweet Aggie goes on about Pratt being just the wrong style for AMC speaks volumes) and her "consultations" were ignored.

The thing on The View that really drove me crazy was Babwa. When did she become such a [!@#$%^&*]? Last year she was condescending as Hell to Agnes Nixon, treating her as some archaic old frail relic, and now she seemed to be working hard not to all out gloat that The View was still on and AMC was dead.

Is the Joy interview online anywhere?

Yeah Agnes has always had SOME level of participation... How much they listen to her is another thing--or how much she even consults. But it's not like some soap blogs have implied that her returning in a more active role for the final months will leave her with all these characters and stories she has no idea about--

Baba has always been somewhat unpleasant to watch - I guess now she has just dropped the fakery. I guess it's not a big surprise if she's bitter, considering her entire career has been about negative views of women, from her tea-pouring Today Show start, to her representing the paranoia and fears of male anchors in the 70's, to her representing the parody of vapid "celebrity" interviewers, to her baby being popular mostly because it is a comfort to those who want to see women as ill-informed, petty, and shallow, a show where pseudo-intellectual morons rattle off incorrect and dangerous information in-between their butt-kissing and claw-sharpening. Agnes Nixon and Susan Lucci aren't perfect but can at least be content with their lives and careers. Baba will be remembered for asking people what kind of tree they are or for having a feud with Star Jones.

I don't know if I'm the only one who didn't know you could scroll pages with the arrows on the site. SMG also talked about coming back to AMC and her favorite memories...

On her favorite memories from working on "All My Children":

"My friends that I made: Kelly Ripa, Eva La Rue, Sidney Penny. I still speak to these women all the time. I made amazing friends, and it was one of the greatest training grounds I ever could have asked for."

On coming back for the finale:

"I'm waiting for the call. I would. I absolutely would. My phone is not ringing. I think it has to be more like a bartender or something because there is someone that plays my character now. She does an amazing job with it, and it is her character now, so I'd have to play someone else. I could be the UPS man!"

If somebody doesn't beat me to it I'm going to make an attempt to do this at some point this weekend. I have a DVD of it and a new computer, maybe that's all it takes!

    • First, let me say I love reading all of your takes and thoughts. They always provide a different point of view... a breath of fresh air... in this sometimes stuffy topic.

      You've inspired me to add my 2 cents about this product placement debacle.  I absolutely HATE the way they are doing product placement in BTG. I really hope this doesn't catch on or evolve into more and more of these moments. It's incredibly off-putting to place them in a highly dramatic moment where we are still on the emotional journey with the character. What is next - Dani spraying the house while having a nervous breakdown? It makes me not want to buy the product they're selling. LOL. That's just me.   
    • I always get the vibe that Martin/Smitty have an emotional abusive relationship set up... but I doubt the show will really go there with that element given that Martin is a Dupree (and we can't have the Duprees be portrayed in a negative light), and because it's a gay male relationship.   Even though abuse in the physical or emotional sense is a huge thing in a lot of gay and lesbian relationships. The Ashley/Naomi scene reads off to me for one reason....  Ashley was talking about the new scandal without any sort of mention and/or subtext.. considering she knew both Silk Press Sheila and Eva.  I'm not sure if the writers have forgotten, if Jen Jacobs isn't able to play subtext, or what.   It's just apparent the writers do not know how to write a young white millennial couple.. and perhaps they need to get a younger white script writer to be on staff... or let the actors play around with the lines to make them more natural/realistic.
    • This is as good a time as any to point out that the 90 minute show was, what I like to call  "cockamamie idea" of Fred Silverman, head of NBC Daytime Programming. He did so well at ABC & CBS but not so NBC. We learned this from a WOST interview with Pete Lemay, 2006, can be found on YouTube, audio only. Now, to be clear, Rauch was completely behind it. Only Lemay fought against it & eventually quit over it.   
    • She was so wonderful. Glad your handle has been a tribute to her.
    • Hopefully Alan has learned to not interrupt or interject with pointless information while someone is in the middle of telling a story. I almost think it would be better if Alan was a producer behind the scenes.. and he just had the actors on screen talking and asking one another questions.  Those interviews tend to work better.
    • It was only recently announced that Denise Alexander passed away on March 5, 2025. She was my all time favorite actress and role model. She will be dearly missed.  Denise Alexander, ‘General Hospital' and ‘Days of Our Lives' Actress, Dies at 85
    • Hopefully Alan will actually read the book beforehand.

    • Am I the only one who immediately thinks of this every time someone mentions Smitty?
