As The World Turns Discussion Thread
Speaking of which, a couple years ago when she got into that legal trouble, I went to look for information on the conclusion of that case and stumbled upon (much to my chagrin) legions of fanboys lusting over those scenes in Tremors where she was down to her skivvies. There were GIFs and guys gushingly expressing their long-held crushes for her. So the implications of a poster that Finn was not attractive enough to somehow 'compete' with Emily for Tonio, which never happened, by the way, (although I think there is some confusion with Jennifer Ashe, who was sporting a short 'do during that storyline), but there are clearly fanbases of dudes who'd disagree with that assessment. I'm actually glad that ATWT was never really one of those soaps were just looks were an avatar for desire or attraction. I mean, if a character like Hal Munson (no offense to dearly departed BH, who was a highly talented actor with vast range) could be desired by three women in the course of a year (two which expressed a willingness to fight for him), I think people should use that same lens when discussing the spectrum of attraction and desire for the women characters. -

B&B: Bold from the beginning
Yes, I remember seeing a scene where Ridge is lying down and the camera pans over his silhouette and in a very obvious way lingers over the outline of his body and uh, bulge, for lack of a better word. Thinking back, B&B was the first daytime soap in my personal memory where sex was "sold" in a manner that was so blatantly obvious. -

The Tennis Thread
It's indisputable that it was harder to win twenty years ago when almost all the Top 10 then is now on the HOF or headed there. Dementieva and Safina likely wish they had these draws. I don't believe that the ratings bear out her argument about the supposed difficulty with selling women's tennis. -

The Tennis Thread
Emma has shown that she has skills, but I sort of agree with Flavia. Barty, Osaka, Halep, Sabalenka, Mugu, Svitolina, etc don't seem inspired with Serena all but gone. They let an 18 year old qualifier ranked 150 who panic attacked her way out of Wimby take the US Open. It's embarrassing! Folks on Twitter are jumping all over Flavia but she's not wrong. How is the new guard letting these babies come in and clown like this? And look at the ATP. Norrie wins Indian Wells? Zverev, Tits, FAA, Medvedev, Rublev, Shapo are supposed to be the names winning these tournies with an anomaly here and there. Is this the norm? The inspiration is gone now that the big 3 are on their last legs?
