Drunk or crazy? Let's face it, she's had a lot of twitter drama over the years.  I could really see an uneducated person with a good heart making the mistake she made tonight. Sure, she sees women in general being discriminated against and she wants us all to band together. However, as an educated woman she's been exposed to too many ideas about race to go down that road. She has to know that the experiences of black women and white women are very different in this country.

 

Beyond that some of her comments were so entitled and ungrateful. WTF was she thinking? Bitching about how much she has to bleed for the 1% when she's certainly in the 5% (if she isn't it's her own damn fault. She's been a working actor for over 30 years).

I think most of the time Nancy Lee Grahn means well despite her foolishness, and usually has her heart and her politics in the right place. But for the last decade or so I've also thought that most of the time, Nancy Lee Grahn needs to shut the !@#$%^&*] up. Some of the [!@#$%^&*] she said tonight was unconscionable.

I think she's in a bubble and likely saw herself as very educated and she had something profound to say...and she also seemed oddly bitter about Viola Davis and she merged the two.

 

As overused as the word privilege may sometimes be these days, this is a great example of it.

 

I do think that she has a better career in daytime than the article suggests, but I can see why the article poked some fun at her instead.

I think that's true. The irony of this whole situation would probably really strike my funny bone if I were the Ann Coultere  type. Nancy is certainly on the far left, she's knocked other people down hard for similar offences. Likely people who did not have the luxury of being as educated as NLG. The woman can be downright mean to others who disagree with her, so I can't feel that sorry for her now. Well, I suppose I feel a little sorry for anyone when hundreds of people come for them at once. It has to be overwhelming and shaming.

I miss the good old days when there was no social media and every statement made by entertainers was prepared and offensive toward no one (more or less).  Nowadays, all platforms such as Twitter seem to do is strip away the aura and mystique of people one would otherwise admire and respect.

      Christie said in her interview this week that she recently started taking acting classes again, and has been doing some work in England, so that helped her to jump into Carrie for this (as well as it being all so familiar, it really was home.)

      Andrea Barber aka Kimmy Gibbler did have a few scenes with Drake too, when he first came on. Christie came in the middle of that storyline

      Carrie, as played by Andrea Barber, was at Bo & Hope's wedding. She was the flower girl. The ringbearer was Zachary Parker, the little boy that Megan tried to pass off as her and Bo's son. Andrea's Carrie was at Tony & Anna's real wedding (Aug. 5, 1985). She appeared for the last time on March 21, 1986. Christie's Carrie debuted on April 14, 1986. It appears that Carrie remained in Salem, just off-screen, during that near-month. Christie picked up with what Andrea had been playing, apprehension over John.

      I don't think she is. I think she just created some really boring characters and for some reason doesn't know what to do with them.  But let's say that she is being force to write these characters that she doesn't like or want to write for.......that's a really bad sign that the creator of the show is being told what to do from the very beginning.  With so many EPs, I was worried there could be too many cooks in the kitchen, too many people giving notes - all those EPs are representing companies who have a stake in the show.    Canada continues to be one episode ahead. Thursday's US episode is another lacklustre episode, even with Leslie in it.  We'll see if Friday or Monday's episode in Canada will be a repeat.

      Like a lot of soaps, once relatives left, they kinda dropped off the face of the earth and out of conversations. I don't know why writers do that. If they just don't want to confuse viewers, or don't think it matters, or want the liberty kind of revise history to make their stories work. After Josh left in '84, he's barely mentioned. Even when Billy's railing against Kyle and refusing to accept him, it'd be the most natural thing in the world to say "Kyle's NOT by brother, JOSH is!" and I don't think he ever really says that.  The only writer I can recall who didn't do that is Doug Marland on ATWT.

      IIRC, there is a line during this time period where Reva says something like Marah is her first-born child, which fans were not thrilled with.  Dylan makes a few appearances through the rest of the show (and a much later recast that isn't really worth talking about, with a face that is familiar to you). He will make one briefly during 1997, if you get that far.

      Another great episode.  GH has been pretty good this year, loading up the chamber, because now there's many bullets to fire, and another one was fired today when Nina found out Michael is the father of Sasha's baby.  I hope this secret comes out at the hearing.  I've also liked the slow burn with Gio/Emma. There's just so many things to look forward to on this show now.  GH is finally back to being really good.

      I am blown away that Christie Clark is 51, and she debuted 39 years ago. They gave her a lovely script today.  But, I could not think of any other examples in culture of someone able to jump right back into the skin of a character, after virtually retiring from acting years ago. I was trying to recall if Carrie left for a bit with Anna after Roman died (because she wasn't at Bo & Hope's wedding), and then returned as a pre-teen Christie?  Or if she was just SORASed off-screen?  But, whenever I see the character I am reminded how much more trauma she's endured than Sami, and yet she remains such a nice person.

      Weirdly I feel like Nina was the most sus about the entire situation.  Normally I would have given this one to Carly, but Nina was always kind of trying to make it make sense. I think Nina (and Alexis) are actually really smart characters.  They just constantly get in their own way with dumb plans lol.
