I haven't watched this week's eppy, but I did catch the first two...

1. I only knew Robin Harris from House Party & as the inspiration behind BeBe's Kids, so I liked learning where it all began.

2. Part of me wished that Pam Grier named Philip Michael Thomas' name when she talked about the bastard that vanished when she told him she had cancer.

I saw a piece from last night, and I can't wait to see the whole eppy. Its on the DVR. So is old Pammy. I watch that trash, Foxy Brown and Coffee, every chance I get. Good trash, I tell yah.

Danielle Spencer has lost quite a bit of weight, and her voice has changed a lot. Wonder if she is still having medical problems. I hope not.


13 children? You think that greasy faced mofo had time to tend to Pammy?


If you had seen her on Life After, I think you would be able to tell that something might be wrong. Life After cannot be more than 3 years old and DS' voice was not much different from Dee on WH? I hope she's ok.

You think he was tending to all those 13 children? ;)

Stop. Just stop. If say anything more about PMT, I'm liable to find his greasy ass and drag him out into the street by his chest hairs.

Danielle's been walking with a crutch for the past few years. People were saying that she has M.S., but she's actually suffering from latent affects of a horrific car accident (that killed her stepfather) nearly forty years ago. She looked fabulous, though. I love that cast, and Shirley was such a riot.

I don't believe she has MS. On a plane, many years ago, she discovered during flight that she could barely move or walk. Her spine was severely damaged in the 77 car crash but the specific injury was missed. At one point, Danielle was almost suicidal. They found a facility to help and they got her walking again.

It really was a great eppy, and I will always believe that, no matter what her size was, Mabel King was one of the most beautiful women to ever grace television. Her skin was flawless!

I didn't know ET had a drug problem. So happy he overcame it. Too bad Berry lost his battle.

Haywood is doing great!

I won't lie - if I were around as a teen in 1976, I'd be all about Dwayne, too. Even though I knew that he had his comeback with EHC, it's still heartening to hear that Raj climbed out of the black hole of drug addiction - especially since poor Rerun, Mama, and Shirley had such tragic ends.

On another note, damn that Shabba-Doo for holding up well for his age. Had I not been privy to his abusing Lela Rochon, I'd feel less guilty about finding him good looking.

I've been watching WH!! via Encore On Demand, and I always forget how much I enjoy it. Say what you want about Mabel's reasons for leaving, but I think it's a solid program that did "us" a lot of good. Let's talk about the fabulous Fritzi Burr as the boys' teacher, though.

Dwayne was adorable and I probably would have kept a Sister2Sister poster or two of him under my mattress. I need to see their episode of Unsung, because it truly is one of those unsung shows that doesn't get talked about a lot. 227, Amen, and Living Single would also be good candidates.

    • Dani had a flashback of Dani getting ready for an event with Bill. The gown she wore in the flashback was light green and elegant and gorgeous. The light green flashback dress was quite different than the red/orange/lilac swirling print beaded gown that Dani is wearing to Nicole's anniversary party.   But there was clearly the show's intention to have the Dupree women (except for Nicole) wearing shades of red.   I love Anita but the red gown that she's wearing to the anniversary party -- not flattering.
    • I think you can find them here https://www.tumblr.com/tagged/OLTL What's there is recaps from SOD at the times it shows which is usually from way back up till 2003. Most if not all of this is due to Matt Smith who you may recall from his AW playlists on YoutTube. 
    • Party wardrobe color theme: Good Queen Nicole is in a solid gold gown. The other Dupree women (plus Smitty) are wearing shades of red/pink (with purple accents) -- Anita, Dani, Chelsea, Kat, in dresses. -- Smitty in white shirt and maroon jacket. (did not see Naomi?) "The help" Eva and Mona are in black. Antagonist queen Leslie/Dana in a black/gold gown. The men (except for Smitty) are wearing black. Ted - white shirt, black tie, black jacket. (Ted's jacket was shiny or velvet or a textured fabric - I couldn't quite tell, but the jacket color was solid black) Vernon - black turtleneck, white dress shirt over it, black jacket (no tie). Andre - black T-shirt, gold chain, black jacket. Martin - black shirt, black tie, black jacket. Dr. Carlton Fitzgerald - white shirt, black tie, black jacket. (did not see Jacob?) I didn't see Naomi and Jacob at the party, but perhaps they arrive later? The evening is not over yet.
    • Tate seems to love throwing punches now

      I enjoyed his scenes with Johnny. Both of their perspectives make perfect sense to me and are completely relatable. There’s no right or wrong person in this situation and I like that. LH  does pretty well when Tate is angry too, but I also liked the way that he comforted Johnny in the end. Days is finally remembering that they’re cousins. And, Johnny looked hot in the beginning   Btw, Johnny going to work for Xander? That could be interesting. And, also can cause some more animosity between him and EJ.  And again, Marlena/Belle were great. Scenes like theirs really seem to be commonplace under Paula/Jeanne and I couldn’t be happier that they are. It’s helps us get a much better understanding of these characters and why they do the things that they do and feel the way that they feel. Marlena supporting Belle was a bit of surprise, considering her insane reaction when she walked in on EJ and Belle, but I also feel that it’s totally in character for her, both as a psychiatrist and as Belle’s mother.  As for Sophia and Amy… I miss the first Sophia lol but I can’t help but think that Amy suddenly being so nice is foreshadowing of something. Either that, or Paula/Jeanne aren’t biased against her
    • @alwaysAMC Great mini-review as always.  That Gilly story is...certainly one I could not forget... I imagine a number of viewers were shocked with the temporary recast. It was revealed in the soap magazines, as was the news about Frank Beaty's breakdown, I think. I think Wolf had some statements or an interview at the time but very little. I wish someone could interview him. He did a good job under extremely tough circumstances.  For some reason I have a vague memory of him in the Marian getup but that's probably not right.  I'm glad you have appreciated the material with Susan after a shaky start. I always enjoyed her, and she was the only love interest I liked Nick with.

      Btw, if he’s on again, you should apply to be a contestant
    • https://www.instagram.com/p/DJJTEW8J5EA/ 1989 Daytime Emmys Victoria Wyndham gives moving tribute to Douglas Watson, AW's Mac Cory Harding "Pete" Lemay created the character Mac Cory & then Doug Watson played him for 15 years. When Doug died on May 1st, 1989, it was a huge loss to the show, the other actors & also to the fans.

    • Jonathan Kellerman is definitely the most EON/Slesar-like writer in the business right now.  Unfortunately, he's almost 80 years old.  Interestingly, he has a son (Jesse Kellerman) who's about 45, who's been studying under him.  I believe what makes the Kellermans such effective mystery & crime writers is their background in psychology.  
    • I never understood the point of Marchetti. Summer left the show for a job there in Italy. OK. When she returned they had Jack buy the company. Why couldn't Summer have returned and simply stated it was not a good fit, she missed her home , family/friends etc It was absurd that this internationally successful fashion empire could just be bought by a US cosmetics firm at the drop of a hat. What was the point when they never did anything with it at all? Summer simply could have gone to work at Jabot. And wasn't there some nonsense about an offshhoot called Marchetti Home? Was Phyllis attached to that at some point? This show...
