It just makes no sense that the cameras didn't catch anyone but those two guys and where the incident happened the cameras just happened to be turned the other way....coincidence? Hmmm....maybe he knew they were facing the opposite direction thus where the supposed attack or staged attack happened.

This situation had me totally flummoxed and part of me wondered whether me not having watched the show in years somehow added to my confusion, especially when it was revealed that the two brothers who were arrested had worked for the show.

I don't know what to say, other than I guess I'll just have to see how this whole thing unfolds.  This has many ramifications for many people.

The entire situation is highly unfortunate, no matter where the evidence and facts lead us.

Well the news just reported that the case took a new turn. And the authorities do want to talk to him again. So I am assuming the two guys blabbed it all and people were wondering why the two brothers left for home right after the incident. Was that the agreement between the three until things cooled down?

If this is the case then Smollett is in dire need of professional mental help. There is no rational way anyone could get me to mess up my bag by orchestrating such a thing, that includes the two brothers who are suspected of carrying out the alleged assault.  

Just a bizarre and unfortunate situation.

True dat.

 

[!@#$%^&*].

 

So, the next time a gay person or POC gets the [!@#$%^&*] kicked outta him in an actual, genuine hate crime, guess how the general and law enforcement communities will respond.  Yep.

 

Thanks a lot, Jussie.  You [!@#$%^&*] waste of space.

When I was on Instagram looking at KSJ tributes from black celebrities, almost all of them posted a photo and a message of support for Jussie.

 

I don’t presume to know the guy at all, but I’m just holding out a glimmer of hope that his conscience wouldn’t have allowed him to humiliate those in his community (and his family) in this way.

When I originally heard about this my heart went out to him. There were details that I thought were strange and extreme, like the bleach and the noose, but these are extreme times, so I had to believe him. 

 

If this is true, then he has betrayed everyone who gave him a chance, and has enabled those who look at every hate crime as a conspiracy or a lie. He has done untold damage to the lives of millions of people in this country. 

 

These are the actions of a sociopath - just not a particularly bright one.

    • Introducing Genoa City's hottest story in Daytime: April and May are going to be a LONG edit lol. If there's enough demand I'll compile "Abbott Communications" as well.

    • Greg and Paige were an interesting choice for a couple.  I do think the lack of focusing on the generational differences hindered their long term potential. I think Laura had learned to keep her feelings close to her vest, especially after the hell she went through in her early years on the show.  The last scene of her trying to keep her tears inside as she drove away was the first time we had seen Laura really express what she was feeling after two or three seasons of her keeping her true self hidden from everyone.. even Greg.
    • I guess my hunch may be right about her. I'm still very split about it. My husband thinks she is a joke, doesn't like her acting and thinks she is over the top. At the beginning I liked her a lot... And I definitely don't agree with my husband about her acting... But still something just puts me off when Felicia is on screen. It's like they are pushing her to be this grand dame too much. It doesn't come out natural, but very staged and superficial. Wearing a head piece and a gown doesn't make you suddenly be that. In most cases it makes people look foolish... when they are still wearing a huge hat while sitting in someone's ugly kitchen talking about stuff. To me... the actress and character shine the most when she seems down to earth and talking through something troubling. When the fluff and glitz is less and the REAL is more. When they act like she is Joan Crawford that's when I start wondering what is going on. She isn't. And some of the wardrobe choices for her have been horrific.  Of course all of these impressions are personal ones and I don't claim to know what the character will become in the future or what it was when she started.  I'm only saying my natural response to her now.   Then I'll blame him too!
    • Mid 1979 to mid 1981 was A+ quality for the show.   I even found things to like about the show in the final year or so when the quality had somewhat declined.
    • From what I heard, the actress playing Leslie opted to leave so instead of recasting again.. they killed her off.   Holly brought it on herself by lying and pretending Christina was Ed's child.  Although I do think that Rita's actions with withholding that message from Ed weighed upon her.   Even though she won Ed in 1976, she realized over time that she never truly had him. There was no Rita/Tim/Evie triangle.  Tim and Evie dated after Rita broke up with him (which happened before Evie and her mother came to Springfield).  Ironically Tim did to Evie what Rita previously did to him... leading someone on that you're not interested in.
    • I mean, he is but he's also still an ásshole.
    • The most beautiful thing about getting into a new soap opera is getting to know the characters yourself and figuring everything out slowly. And EON is one of the easiest when it comes to that. Pretty soon you are so well oriented in who is who and what are their motivations. I only struggled with the episodes before Mansion of the damned started.  Then after that it's pretty smooth sailing.    
    • I don't hate Hayley but she would absolutely cry about falling for Jacob.
    • @BroderickThank you for the reply. Such acting that they Sharon Gabet and the actor playing Draper still played their relationship after it's over. I picked up on it even though I had no idea about their history. That's such good acting/continuity.  Raven has just moved to London and a custody battle is now brewing for Jamey.
    • Ha-ha-ha, I thought it was Marland who turned Mike into a jerk, but apparently not. I get that they probably felt the Mike/Leslie story had run its course, but they should have at least let them have a kid. Especially since they were soon ensnaring him in a storyline with a woman who couldn't have children (Elizabeth). Of course, no one could have predicted there would be a dearth of Bauers a few years later. I remember this! I remember Holly sitting by the phone, desperate for Ed to call so they could stop the divorce. I forgot it was Rita who never gave him the message. What a bitch.

       But, yeah, this is the Rita I remember at the beginning: very determined to bag Ed. I contend that Holly never, ever got over it, never stopped regretting that the divorce went through. I wish at some point over the years they had let Holly and Ed reunite for more than a brief affair. It feels like a thread that was left hanging. There she is! I was beginning to think I had dreamed up the Rita/Tim/Evie triangle.
