I just hope his family never watches that. I also hope they never see any of the "That's what he gets for speeding!" nonsense, when we don't even know anything about what happened.

I read an article which said he had a role on Touched by an Angel which led to a recurring part on Y&R...it would be nice if these sites did basic research.

I think everyone remembers Paul Walker naked in Joy Ride, among other things. He was a beautiful man. Not much of an actor IMO, but apparently a very nice guy. It's a shame.

Speaking cynically about the industry for a moment, while he was surely a treasured friend to his co-workers in that franchise, Walker is one of the least essential pieces of those F&F films - he was the straight man, the traditional hero opposite the big leads like Diesel, the Rock, etc. They can replace him and say his character and his love interest (Jordana Brewster) have retired happily from the action.

Professionally I do know a couple people who are very close to those films. I'm not sure I'll reach out to them about this, that seems tacky, but I wonder how they're doing today.

I don't know for sure but I think he and the driver probably died on impact. I'm sure they will continue forward. The last movie made nearly $800 million WW. Sad and tragic as his death is, money is the name of the game. They will say they are doing the movie in honor of him.

Personally, I'm not all that upset by this. This is a man that bragged about going up to 190 on the highway. Do you know how many lives he put in danger by doing that? Not only that, but it shows a lack of value for his own life. This was bound to happen. I'm not saying I'm happy he died, but when you put yourself in situations like this on the regular, these things happen. I'm just happy no one else had to lose their life because of this.

TMZ is also reporting that the car they were driving was as close to a racecar as possible and that it shouldn't even be driven on regular roads.

      Andre/Ashley are a mismatch and not in a cute opposites attract sort of way. He is a very stylish photographer, independently wealthy, wordly  and she is a simple, struggling nurse with limited experiences. He has been having a covert sexual relationship with an older divorced woman and she is involved with a meat and potatoes blue collar  dude. Just  don't see what the attraction would be on either side.

      I read that somewhere too - maybe it was mentioned in that book? I hope it's true.

      I took a break from Edge of Night to finally start watching this. I watched the first week's worth of episodes. I started off chronologically even though they released the show originally with the Barnabas era first (don't know when he comes in). I had those discs in the complete coffin collection. I'm watching the complete series on Amazon so I hope Amazon doesn't pull a Knots Landing and yank the series before I finish as I don't have all of the beginning episodes. Thoughts: I appreciate the creepy black and white vibe and how everything is so mysterious even when it's just people walking into rooms. I also like seeing actors I know (Louis Edmonds, Joan Bennett, Mitchell Ryan, Conrad Bain (although he might be a cameo), etc.). It was nice to finally see Joel Crothers as I have yet to see him on Edge of Night. Crothers is quite looking so I wish he'd show up on EON. Mitchell Ryan is also attractive. I like how they set up Devlin's animosity towards the Collins family during this week.  We're left to wonder why Roger is so upset. Why is Devlin angry? What happened to Roger's wife? Who wrote to Victoria? Not much has really happened but I'm intrigued. The dialogue is certainly not on the level of EON. It amuses me they leave bloopers in. Bennett in particular struggles with doors. Was this filmed live?

      Y&R: Old Articles

      @BoldRestless @fivethej Apologies for the late reply! But yes as far as I know I do still have the tape. I remember asking for instructions on this wayy back in 2020, but I will definitely reach out. Only issue is I know my VHS tape collection is in my basement, which looks like the Chancellor mansion attic at the moment.

      Also I while I still have DVD/VHS combo player do they even hook-up to modern TV sets or still need a CRT TV? Just asking as I know some folks being off off guard when trying to hook older equipment like some VHS sets and older game consoles quite unsuccessfully

      It's evident that there was reset of Derek and Ashley's storyline. The attempt to build tension over Derek not resting enough after being injured on the job was not working but the tension over moving in together is. The characters are still not thrilling, but today they at least were worth paying attention to. The writers do want Ashdre and they are easing toward it again.

      Yes, I believe that is the case. ABC wanted Siobhan and Joe to be a very popular couple and apparently didn't think Sarah Felder was glamorous enough. I don't know if this story is true, but I heard somewhere that Felder told everyone off at her farewell party because of the reason she was fired. If it's not true, it should be!

      And so it's Andre and Ashley again? Why don't they go ahead and make something bad happen between them? I don't trust the stereotypical vibe. I don't.

      I guess neither Stephanie or Leo are ever going to investigate the gaping plot holes in the Bob-ette storyline. Other random Thoughts for Thu If Sophia was going to leave Tate alone after he was faint and had a fever, thank goodness she's not planning on raising a baby! Finally, Xander expressed that this situation with Philip was not Victor's desire.  Victor clearly wrote his desires in his will right before he died, and those plans did not include Philip at Titan. I can't with the laws of Salem.  Adults with nut allergies can sue for negligence when they eat a bakery known for using pistachio in their scones, but people discuss insider trading and kidnapping like it is no big deal. It is so simple to research why they have no standing to sue to Sweet Bits (regardless of what the server said). I ignored Brady and Kate being on the board, because that was plausible.  But, Abe is on the board of directors?  That's a stretch. I'm staying mum on Versavix for today, I've had my say....
