Between reading up on an old post and on how Marc Platt’s new Snow White movie had fell very short at the box office, i  wondered, whatever had happened to Ben Platt? After the disastrous Dear Evan Hansen movie and the disastrous interview of him trying to claim he isn’t a nepotism baby I don’t remember seeing much about him. I found out I guess I missed his and Noah’s wedding at the end of last summer:

Two verse bottoms in matrimony I suppose.
 

Noah (who had his own trouble) hasn’t acted in a year and it seems that Platt is sticking with Broadway aside from doing a couple indie flicks. He also seems to be largely hated on the Broadway sub reddits.

He had a successful Broadway residency last year.  I would imagine that he'll have a Sutton Foster-like career, where he'll always be bankable to investors of stage shows, but he'll never have big mainstream success.

Thanks. I remember a few years back before Covid he was getting all the hype and did that lousy Ryan Murphy show The Politician. He seems extremely self involved and pretentious. He made a lot of self involved statements during the promotion of the Dear Evan Hansen film like “the only reason this film was made was because I was cast in it”. He just has a bad energy and his career reeks of nepotism.

    • I just had an epiphany. The most drag moment in soap history is the introduction of Lucy Coe on GH. Miss Coe was the Medical School Librarian.  She was a mousy blond who was called to the stand by the defense of Kevin O'Connor.  She wore her hair in a bun, a blouse buttoned up to the neck, and a modest skirt with flats.  She testified that Kevin was studying at the time of the murder, for which he was on trial, thus clearing him of the charges against him. When we next saw Ms Coe, she arrived home, let down her hair, stripped down to lingerie, threw on a pair of heels, and sprayed some perfume.  Soon, there was a knock on the door, and it was Kevin. Now, that's drag!

    • A really good show to start the week. Philip is really going to shoot himself in the foot, isn't he? He should just be grateful he still is co CEO on paper, but instead he is trying to insert himself into the Hospital takeover. I worry he is going to mess up the whole thing and Xander won't get it, and Bo won't get the cure. Eventually Xander will have to fire him. Alex and Brady were both great today shutting him down. Amused me that nobody has bothered to clue Brady in on the forged letter fiasco. Kristen and Brady discussing their messed up child was very good. I liked that Kristen finally acknowledged her culpability in what Rachel has become. And her interactions with Alex were good too. Alex is strangly working for me these days. Apart from his obsession with Stephanie's soft core porn book of course. I'm in love with Doug3 and Holly. That is all.

      Glad that Johnny and Chanel have worked things out. They do communicate well. I think he will be the next arrest in the shooting though. Kate and Roman's discussion would have been better if she had been honest about her recent involvement in corporate fraud, but glad he explained about the gun. Why does Alex have a CEO plaque on his desk? That was SO last year
    • Yay!!!

      This news definitely made my day!!! So happy for MVJ, the cast and crew, and all it's faithful fans.
    • Despite having never watched Ryan's Hope, I read Tom Lisanti's book recently as I'm fascinated by behind the scenes stories of soap production. A really enjoyable read, which gave a good sense of the show and New York at that time.  I have to say though, that the vitriol regarding the quality (or lack thereof) of Loving only makes me want to watch that show even more! (It's on my list anyway as I've never seen The Loving Murders).
