Somehow, that just doesn't seem important to me at this time. Kris, trashy faults and all, has just as much right as anyone else to be hurt, angry and disappointed that her husband wants to be a woman. The important thing is that she did reach out to him. Even if she didnt, Kris is well within her rights

I don't support it but I'm not God so its none of my concern. I just wouldn't want to be around one of them at all. I think if God made you a male or female then you're really violating yourself by trying to force some type of change on yourself.

It will be interesting to see how the 24/7 politically correct crowd reacts to people who aren't 100% okay with this situation.

I don't think it comes down to political correctness as it does people assuming they have input and they're being ok with it should matter to the people in question. It's like saying "I am not okay with left handed people". Well ok, and why should this be of importance to lefties? That seems to be this assumption on the part of cultural conservatives, that somehow their views on normal and right should be considered more significant than those who take a live and let live approach. And it's not just conservatives, it was all the people who claim to be liberal but "have a problem" with this group or that. I have a problem with plaid. The people who make plaid crap don't and shouldn't have to run their fashion ideas by me.

Bruce Jenner doesn't seem to be asking if anyone has a problem with him, he just wants to be who he is. As far as what God made or didn't make, well, god made people who were nazis and Isis, so I call his taste into question and can't say I support his decisions. We all should live our lives as we see fit as long as we don't harm anyone.

Yes!

I felt so sad for Bruce. How scared and confused he must have been growing up in the 50's with these feelings and not having the resources that are available to young trans people now. I almost cried when he said he would have been mad at himself if he died and never got to live as he really wanted. :(

I hope what he's going makes him happy. Honestly I will probably get bashed for this, but I'm tired of hearing about him. The only reason he's getting so much attention is cause of the Kardashian connection. What about others who go through this? What makes him more deserving of more attention than them?

I'm sorry, I think he's full of crap and the fact that he came out as a Republican solidifies that, because they are the masters of spin. He's says he's not gay, but as far as he knows, he's heterosexual, but then says he's asexual. To me, it seems like he has no issue being transgender, but might have some issue with being a lesbian and threw the word asexual out there to keep from identifying with it. I was "asexual" for a short time, so I know about throwing up bullcrap barriers. I do not know what Bruce's point is, but I do agree that there is more that he needs to work through.

Because those other people aren't famous, or as famous as Bruce. They're not going to bring in this much attention. Bruce became a big name after his Gold medal win. I watched the special because it was about Bruce and so did 17 million people. If they did a story about a non-famous person, it would not get this much attention.

    • And they've given us plenty. Sets, outdoor scenes, music licensing, etc. And that was the point of me using DAYS... so. It's obvious the casino set is not intended for long-term use, hence why it's likely it wasn't as evolved as the other community sets, etc.

    • I just had thought of how to save the Perkins family. (Inspired by Rituals) -- What if Marisa Perkins was Augusta Lockridge's sister? Fictionally, they could've both been local girls, one married rich and one married poor. Originally, I was going to suggest that Marisa be Sophia's sister, but then I realized Joe and Kelly would've been first cousins.  Of course, it would've truly inspired Sophia was if Rosa Andrade sister, with Rosa and Santana moving in to help CC raise the kids once Sophia disappeared.  While this could've avoided both gross CC and Santana affairs, the times were not right for a story about intersectional inequity.
    • https://www.instagram.com/p/DJxW5DLJLId/ Another World is my forever favorite soap opera. But it's finale is almost universally hated by its fans. What this is, is an edit where I've deleted everything I didn't like!!!
    • The Perkins family had potential to be a nice alternative to the more dysfunctional Capwells and wackier Lockridges... but I think a few factors did in the family. 1) Recasting of Joe Perkins 2) Bad casting of the Perkins Patriarch, and the one note writing for that character. 3) Lack of antagonistic interaction between the Capwells/Lockridges and Perkins.  (There was no awkwardness between Jade/Ted.. or CC disapproving of his son being friends with that Perkins girl, etc). 4) Wasting of Jade thus wasting the potential of the actress (which was realized on Days of Our Lives).  She had more potential than Laken oddly enough. The only member of the Perkins family that had appeal and a somewhat thought out story arc was Amy.  
    • @GymnastGuyThanks for posting the three new Capitol 1985 episodes today. The two labeled March 12, and 13 are misidentified. The March 12 labeled one actually aired November 12 1985 which I figured out because Kenny Rogers' movie Wild Horses aired November 12th and it was announced over the "March 12" Cap credits. In addition, Craig Carlson is listed in the April credits but not the March. Craig left Capitol sometime after July 1985 before he rejoined OLTL in the credits by October 15, 1985; he was replaced on Cap by Radcliffe and Hamner. In these posted episodes Radcliffe/Hamner names appear in the March 85 episodes but not in the April.

    • 5-15   And now...back to the A plot. I can't say enough about how great this week has been that I've been enjoying the fallout from the SilkPress/Eva reveal. I can't believe that it's been almost a week, and it is STILL going on. And they are playing every beat. And rightfully so. It's a strength to the story that this episode is full of mostly those beats with one (okay 2) C plots. I loved how this episode seem centered on dealing with the Bill of it all from his reactions to the reactions of the ones who actually care about him. And meanwhile, Kat getting a clue and connecting it back to the plot thread of Laura's accident.    Game recognizes game. My way of saying I loved Bill vs Silk Press Sheila. They have great adversarial chemistry. And I loved that Bill not only gave the heads-up to NuTed, but already figured out that Ted had paid her off. A dumbed-down villain Bill definitely is not. And awww at Naomi walking in on him and NuTed. lol. Like father, like daughter cuz they both stay reading people. Also loved the scene of Naomi and Chels together discussing their feelings about their father in light of the reveal.    It's so sad to see Kat thinking in the right direction and STILL took a wrong turn. That said...great to see the Laura plot thread picked up and Kat moving to get to the bottom of it. It's just sad that her strong disdain toward Eva is blinding her to the real threat. Makes her easy prey for SilkPress to manipulate and harder for Eva to get acceptance if people still think she's up to no good. Also intensifies their rivalry. Kat vs Silk Press Sheila was reaaallly good, too. The direction. The camera angles. The lines. Even got background music.

      And...HAHAHA I love how SilkPress Sheila reacts to the word 'crazy' the same way Sheila herself reacts to the word 'bitca' right before one of her catfights on B&B. Honorable mention to another SilkPress vs Eva scene where Eva avoids the gaslight and that Andre/Eva scene where he continues to be there for her.    And speaking of the reveal...now that I've seen the full episode...I've warmed to NuTed a bit. I thought in the brief scene I saw on my busy Thursday that he did what I love when a role gets recast. The actor uses some of the mannerisms of their predecessers, but not do a complete parroting of them. And that I felt he pulled off well. It allows for the actor to slowly enter their own vibe to a role and make it their own. And so far...I felt Keith was still...Ted. Love the scenes with NuTed/Kat. But time will tell if I feel he will make it his own.   The only good thing I can say about that Andre/Ashley scene...they both have gotten comfortable in their roles, and it was nice to see. I'm Team Dani/Andre over here. That said...I actually am loving the C plot of Ashley, Derek, and the apartment because they are finally getting drama. And I'm actually Team Derek though I completely understand where Ashley is coming from. Thankful that we got that phone call with her mother for her POV and background life. She really is not used to living with someone and what that is like. And it's relatable. But she's handling it all the wrong way. As for their overall place on the canvas though, I can't help, but think about what I said in the first week...they are just meta to me...getting the development...or lack thereof...that black characters get on other soaps...just in reverse.    Awww at June saying that she just finds the picture lovely. I don't completely believe her hehe, but it was nice.    The anvils about Eva's birthday...smh. lol.
