Either Agnes' mind is slipping (which is possible at her age, I guess) or someone does not have their facts straight. But, you know, the story's out there, it's canon (unfortunately), so it probably doesn't matter anymore whether Agnes actually sanctioned it.

Rewatching a lot of it again I think I came down a little too hard on Ward Horton, who played the mostly pointless side character of Dean, the drug dealer who had the hots for Téa. That guy's been picking up some work lately, and he was hot and talented. I suspected he was one of several tattoo/Triskelion plants among the recurring players, someone trying to keep tabs on the "Widow" Lord, but even though he was yet another member of the floating Shelter coterie I think they could have done more with him, and probably would have, considering how much time he got with Florencia. I still wanted Tim Stickney back for her, though. So bad.

It also simply could be that she sorta said "Hey it's your show!" and gave them a pass and they took that as a full on endorsement. Or, yeah, she liked the idea at the time well enough, and since then she's changed her mind and remembered it differently. (I'm fine with it, myself.)

:D

In hindsight my only real issue was one of some of the story pacing. We know what was to blame for *some* of that. I am thrilled with the Emmy nom, though I suspect it won't win due to politics but that at least means people voted for it (and I appreciated Susie saying she thought AMC should have been nominated as well--I certainly think it deserved Y&Rs slot.)

    • Uh, yeah, huh?!!! Seriously, that was a brilliant line but its acumen is strictly from how hilarious. We imagine Joss in Carly's kitchen breaking the news that she's realized she's gay & Carly is unconcerned & then drops that it's Emma she's in love with ... time comes to a screeching halt!!! I think Moss would likely be thrown hard against the wall. Can you imagine Carly & Robin as mothers of the brides together? 
    • @DRW50 Thanks for these. I had a procedure on my eyes and was just okayed for limited screen time the other day, but it is in short periods until Tuesday, when the doctor clears me.  I'll be adding in bits here and there, but Hoppers will be "hopping" after that. Upcoming: Rest in Peace, Denise Alexander, Ruth Buzzi and Priscilla Pointer Updating:   Max Gail, @Xanthe -- Will Lyman, who was lost in the shuffle a year ago, but his update from last year will be typed up;  New: Michelle Hurd and Shanola Hampton and others I'll b updating the edit-able profiles, too.
    • Upcoming on Friday

      The shoulders and sleeves are too tight. He'd benefit from a larger size. The yellow arrows show where the shoulder cut should actually be placed in my opinion. I don't mind the granpa fashion per se, I just have an OCD with sizes LOL
    • Today May 11, 2025, Pope Leo briefly addressed the crowd in the square.  He sang the prayer to Mary and then said:   Dear brothers and sisters, The immense tragedy of the Second World War ended eighty years ago, on 8 May, after having claimed sixty million victims. In today’s dramatic scenario of a piecemeal third world war, as Pope Francis stated many times, I too address the world’s leaders, repeating the ever-timely appeal: “Never again war!”. I carry in my heart the sufferings of the beloved Ukrainian people. May everything possible be done to reach an authentic, just and lasting peace, as soon as possible. Let all the prisoners be freed and the children return to their own families. I am deeply saddened by what is happening in the Gaza Strip: may there be an immediate ceasefire! Let humanitarian aid be provided to the stricken civil population, and let all the hostages be freed. On the other hand, I have welcomed with satisfaction the announcement of the ceasefire between India and Pakistan, and I hope that through the upcoming negotiations, a lasting accord may be reached soon. https://www.vatican.va/content/leo-xiv/en/angelus/2025/documents/20250511-regina-caeli.html
    • Lol! I'm quite sure it would. 
    • But that is pretty much situation normal for all soaps. They do not tend to continue to show things like surgical scars. They also play fast & loose with hospital procedures.
