Sometimes I feel that way too. I remember the first time I heard Britney Spears talk. I was never a fan, but her allure as a beautiful young woman went right out the door when she opened her mouth (I'm not talking about the accent). At the same time, I'm glad when the really bad ones (Michael Muhney) show their asses, so I can stop supporting them ASAP.

LOL!  I totally heart that girl sometimes.  And she was right.

I think that is why I love Susan Lucci as much as I do.  As frustating as it is sometimes to hear or read her carefully controlled responses, OTOH, I think she is savvy enough to know that the minute she REALLY lets it rip, it might chip away from the image that, quite frankly, she has built an entire career upon.

I think drunk and crazy. And seriously, she's had solid, steady work. Yeah she may not get the screentime she always wants but sorry Nance, only so much of Alexis propping up Julian we can take. Not like you're character exists without him anymore.

LOL. I love how that 'article' (can these things even be called articles anymore? Twitter recaps? And I swear TVGuide.com had an article that was all gifs ... like, really? You get PAID to do that? anyway ...) disses her completely. Who?

Clearly, Nancy should not have opened her fool mouth, but at the same time, I think with social media, we're too quick to condemn someone as well. I'm not really saying Nancy, more in general, it's a problem I've noticed. I detest social media. It has it's plusses but it creates instant reactions and sooo much drama when there often isn't anything there other than someone reading what they want into it and causing a big stir.

OK, I take back any minor defense I tried to give her. She tweeted this to someone:

the meaness of these ppl tonight. I feel betrayed by ppl I would've marched for.

 

How can she be so clueless? She had the balls to say VD has never been discriminated against a day in her life. How can NLG think that's possible? I just don't understand her.

She needs to stop tweeting RIGHT NOW. All she needed was one apology, direct and to the point. All she's doing is making things worse.

 

And the thing is, I do think that Buzzfeed underestimated her place in daytime/on GH. She is a great actress and I tend to agree with her more often than not politically. But she's made a fool of herself, whether it's largely a result of too much wine or not. And unlike the times where she's run her mouth on Twitter before (or anything Brydog or even Ron has said before), she really can't talk herself out of this. I'm actually willing to cut her some slack-- the intersectional side of feminism is something that I--a 26 year old, white, blonde-haired blue-eyed woman, and a PROUD feminist--have only really started to understand very recently, and I can see how women of a certain age might have just started to open their eyes to it now, because unfortunately, it is an issue that only really started to earn attention now (see also: the Taylor Swift/Nicki Minaj Twitter mess--although one can argue TS is using it as a shield to deflect criticism of her work. YMMV, of course.). But this was a BAD way for her to finally learn about it.

 

I'm just waiting to see if Shonda Rhimes will say anything now, because Nancy will REALLY feel the heat if that happens.

 

Also: She actually had the nerve to suggest Viola Davis hasn't faced discrimination in her career? WTAF.

      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.
