I saw some of Charlotte Kirk's "songs" on Youtube - they amount to porn, really. 

 

I rolled my eyes at the whole "yay girl power we don't need men!!!" campaign over Ocean's 8 last year because of how phony this type of display is, and hearing that a woman got a part in the film solely because of sexual favors tells me I was right. 

 

Anyway...

Maddie Corman is clearly a gifted actress but this subject matter is tough to digest and I'm not sure that even she can pull this off, especially given the fact that she has elected to stay with her husband and, as the review states, she hasn't dramatized any of the reasons that led to her decision to remain with him.

As someone who once tried to help someone write a One Man Show that was going nowhere, I recognize that some projects, one really doesn't know what to do with.

ICAM, DD.

 

My immediate reaction: "Wait a minute -- she STAYED with the s.o.b.?"

 

My second reaction (after reading the review): "He never actually molested any children?  Yeah, right!"

 

And therein, people, lies the problem (at least with me) with this story.

 

Forget about her ill-advised decision not to dramatize any scenes with her husband.  I don't give a damn about Corman's personal struggle, because I simply cannot fathom any wife and mother -- especially a wife and mother who was herself the victim of sexual harassment, as the review discloses -- allowing her children to remain with a man who indulged in his perverted fantasies online.  I mean, what's to stop him from "graduating" to performing sexual acts on their kids (if he hasn't already)?

 

I'm sorry, but she could've kept this bullshit to herself, instead of asking people to empathize with her in some ridiculous one-person stage ([!@#$%^&*])show.

I have no idea whether Jane Alexander has responded but I see that her second husband died in 2017 so it sounds as if she's had some tough personal stuff in the last few years.

HBO used to show a movie that Maddie Corman did with Jennifer Connelly when they were teens. That was the first thing I remember seeing her in.  HBO must've showed that movie consistently for years!

 I don't know why I always think Seventh Heaven is the title of that movie. When I was a little kid, I'd always watch it when it came on cable.  Most of the movie was filmed in New Jersey and there was a lot of markers that were familiar to me.

 

 

To be fair though, pretty much every NYC-based working actor pretty much got chances to appear on L&O, in some capacity. I went to school with a few people that became actors and appeared on L&O but yeah, nepotism is rife in the arts & entertainment industry...and the current White House.

    • Another character driven show with interconnecting plots that make sense. I like that we go from one character, like Sarah, learning that EJ wants to buy the hospital, casually mentioning it to Xander who now has that intel. The only down today was not seeing Steve and Shawn breaking into the lab. I wonder if Dr Poofy Hair will inform EJ about Xander's call. I loved Abe talking to Chanel about losing Isaac and giving her comfort. And helping her voice her fears about Johnny. Kayla standing up to EJ is great. Kayla, freed from Ron, has been great. I am loving all her air time. And Sarah telling her that EJ must be up to something if he wants the hospital is very smart. She would probably clue in to the sepsis research being the big thing if she wasn't choking to death. I assume Felicity messed up the scones and dropped in cleaning fluid or something. Sarah said it tasted weird. They are never getting that honeymoon, are they? Xander has no clue what job Johnny can do. Johnny knows this too. Xander wants to legitimize his takeover by hiring a Dimera. Johnny wants to stick it to EJ. The honesty is refreshing. I want to like Cat and Chad but they are just so awkward. And none of their scenes work for me. Marlena and EJ was very good. I like her wanting to help him but also scared to death for Belle. Makes perfect sense that she is conflicted. I also liked her softly asking Johnny if he needed her to stay once EJ walked in. Ron never cared about this relationship either, but now she is acting like his granny.
    • Sorry, catching up, and the bolded part, yes! Should have been sued by DH's family for that nasty sh*t too   Anywho, back to the show, Kristina is freaking nuts, she needs to be committed ASAP
    • Angry Dante was hot; sorry, but I'm not going to pretend it wasn't awesome seeing Dominic Zamprogna act his ass off in a way that was not crying.
    • Thanks, interesting and so believable (no Lonatrat or Clones...)Instead of the Lewis family he should have made the Oil family Granger...even if the audience didn't remember that one off character it would have been interesting to tie it into the fictional GL world.
    • Dante needs stick removed from his butt
    • When you bring up what I like to call "Shapiro's Folly" you think Dano's acting choices mattered? I ask because I don't think so. As far as I could tell almost universally the ABC fans hated the very idea of her being on all 4 shows! And, BTW, the headwriters also hated it, at least according to comments made by Passanante. But, it is not hard to imagine that they'd feel that way. And, I agreed. If she wanted success she should have planted "Rae" on one & given up her idea of branding, or whatever it was that she was after.  
    • Okay, well her reasons were that she had a mandate to reduce the size of the cast & she had another mandate to make the cast overall younger, so her reason for picking Donna to off was because she was too old.  So, is that what you understand? Or are you thinking of something else? Which if so, I would be delighted to hear about it!  She had arbitrarily picked 50 as the age people needed to be younger than.  And, that is why she got rid of both Bridget & Spencer Harrison.  And, getting rid of Bridget was another of her horrible ideas.  Why do you refer to her as the Face of the Show? Don't feel bad. I am a major Cass fan & I don't remember him with Donna either, LOL! Can we say forgettable? And, yes, Lila was the most last minute of last minutes!!!! 
    • This is AWESOME, thank you for taking the time to post this! My first thought: My memory is a lot better than I thought it was, LOL! The first episode I clearly remember watching had a scene of Ed confronting Holly about Christina's paternity. He lamented how wonderful things had been over Christmas, so looks like I started watching the show early 1976. The only thing puzzling me is where is Evie? I thought she was around BEFORE Rita got involved with Tim, but maybe that's one gap in my memory. It makes Rita look slightly better--in that case, she didn't seduce Tim knowing her sister had a crush on him.
    • Oh, well.  At least he can cry into his hoodie.
