Sharon Osbourne is such a low life, she just assumes everyone else in the world is, too. The Jared thing really IS too early speculate, I would think if they had any real evidence against HIM, then he would have been arrested. I would expect nothing less of a woman who send her turds through the mail.

My theory: Whoopi learned the hard way that winning an Oscar means zilch in terms of improving one's career. These days, she would be luckier than lucky to land another "Jumpin' Jack Flash" or "Burglar."

Whoopi was both a talented comedienne and an incredibly talented actress, period. Her work on TV and in film in the '80s and early '90s stands up. Just like Cosby, there was a time I loved her, and her recent tribute to the late Mike Nichols, who gave her her first break, was emotional and genuinely touching. It's sad what's become of her - sort of a delusional, in-the-bubble celebrity in love with the sound of her own voice and too set in her ways and her skewed view of the outside world to step beyond it. On some level she must know the truth, but she's too proud - and too self-righteously aggrieved that people are daring to challenge her - to face up to it.

Meanwhile: Cosby has been dropped by CAA, his agency. It's over.

I would argue that nearly every celebrity is like this, and if you had ANY of your favorites on the view for a length of time, so you could see who they really were, and what they were really like... you'd basically have nobody to like anymore. And that is because of the nature of actors and entertainers being narcissistic, selfish tools 90 percent of the time. It's always best to keep your distance, or believe the image if you want to keep liking someone. OF course, for most here, it seems the litmus test whether people like a celebrity, is whether they agree with them politically. For most posters here, talent seems to play a much smaller part.

Maybe, but only Whoopi is making a fool of herself everyday.

There are many performers and filmmakers whose work I admire but who I deeply disagree with politically, so your argument is invalid.

What low standards to have if we can't have a negative thought about a woman who has spent a decade defending and condoning rape, racism, anti-Semitism, misogyny and dog-fighting.

    • Here's the place to share some memorable criticism. You don't have to agree with it, of course (that's often where the fun starts). Like I mentioned to @DRW50, Sally Field was a favorite punching bag in the late '80s and early '90s.   Punchline (the 1988 movie where she and Tom Hanks are stand ups): "It's impossible to tell the difference between Miss Field's routines that are supposed to be awful, and the awful ones that are supposed to be funny." -- Vincent Canby, New York Times. "It's not merely that Field is miscast; she's miscast in a role that leaves no other resource available to her except her lovability. And (David) Seltzer's script forces her to peddle it shamelessly." -- Hal Hinson, Washington Post. "As a woman who can't tell a joke, Sally Field is certainly convincing. ... Field has become an unendurable performer ... She seems to be begging the audience not to punch her. Which, of course, is the worst kind of bullying from an actor. ... She's certainly nothing like the great housewife-comedian Roseanne Barr, who is a tough, uninhibited performer. Sally Field's pandering kind of 'heart' couldn't be further from the spirit of comedy." -- David Denby, New York
    • I tend to have two minds about Tawny (Kathy Najimy) fainting during Soapdish's big reveal. You're the costume designer, if anything, you should have known the whole time. I guess it's an application of what TV Tropes calls the "Rule of Funny." Every time I watch Delirious, I always want the genuine romance in John and Mariel's reunion at the deli counter to last longer. Film critics had their knives out for Sally in this period. I'll start a separate thread on the movies page.
    • I don't think so, but I wouldn't be surprised if he was Dumas this whole time.
    • Tamara Tunie was serving up grand dame diva fierceness.
    • Nick told Victoria that he and Sharon had married in England.  Victoria was shocked.  Then she realized he was kidding.  He confirmed it was a joke and they're platonic. I don't even know what to say about that.
    • It's funny you say that because part of the entertainment of the trials on the show are all the day players who come on as witnesses and jurors.  I'm certain it was like the Law and Order of its time. It employed so many New York actors, that if you look close enough, there's usually someone vaguely recognizable in the courtroom.
    • I will defend Dante.  People already suspect he may be a bit unstable from time to time (from his time as a prisoner).  And, he's taking care of other people's kids from time to time.  So, he has reason to be cautious with those in his care.
    • Josh continues to try and milk Abbott/Newman rivalry. First it was Billy/Victoria, then Kyle/Summer, then Noah/Allie (that worked out well) and now Kyle/Claire. Do we have any inkling when Billy Flynn will arrive and who he will play? I'm sure Cole's illness will mostly play offscreen. What's in store for Nick and Sharon? Is it time to put them back together? I can't see any other romantic options. Nick has no children on the canvas to play off, as Christian is never seen. Sharon has only Mariah onscreen.
    • I would appreciate (if they're not coming), for future scripts to refer to them by their iconic hairdos.  For example, if Hope needs to call Chelsea because Bo has Sepsis, I'd like Shawn-D to say, "My Mom called Chelsea (the one with the sassy short black hair) for an update." Also, new rule, if Melanie does return, she needs to dye her hair back to red.  I googled who she was five times during Victor's funeral.

    • Broderick, thank you for all of the info [I edited for space]. I am so grateful for everyone filling in the blanks for me. I suspected the Nora/Eliot scene was very important and it was setting something up but I didn't know what. Can't wait to see it play out. The two actors had such a great back and forth. I should have made the Paige/Patty Hearst connection. I thought Paige was in love with Brian from the first episode I watched but it seemed as if they were brother and sister. Steve kept being affectionate with her so I assumed he was the love interest. Then she was affectionate with someone else and well..she's a very busy woman. I can't wait to see Frances Fisher show up. (I'm trying to be vague because I don't know what would be a spoiler in this storyline) Now it makes sense why Draper would be upset. I didn't get the whole background of why he didn't go to NY. I'm a sucker for good acting, so I might still side with April and Margo, if the writers don't give Draper more to do besides yelling.  He had more chemistry with Logan, but I know that's not happening.  Something else I noticed: the show really takes care with even the smallest parts. The acting is superb. Too often, I noticed on older soaps they don't take care with the recurring or day players (Ryan's Hope was so bad with this that I couldn't make it through some episodes). It's only been six episodes, but so far, the casting department was spot on.
