Very sorry to hear about Matthew. I remember his struggles but he always fought so hard. I was never involved with Friends but he was always a very charismatic and likeable actor. Just recently I was watching some of his short show with Valerie Bertinelli, Sydney, and he was so charming, as he never stopped being. My thoughts are with all of his fans here, and with his loved ones.

I am typically not a sitcom fan but FRIENDS got me & I got it & Chandler was my character all the way! Also I would mention this show that was so good but failed, STUDIO 60 ON THE SUNSET STRIP. They made 22 episodes. NBC aired 10. In honor of Matthew Perry I want someone to air THE LOST EPISODES! 

Rest in Peace, you funny tortured man!

Okay. I just watched an interview with Matthew Perry in which he said only 10 episodes aired. Just a teensy bit before the 2:00 mark. No idea why he would've said so. Not important. Obvi all aired & all currently available, too. He is so good in it.

What a sad way to start the day.

I was never a huge fan of "Friends", though I did enjoy the first seasons, but it's impossible to deny its success, and most of that was due to the chemistry between the actors,  including Matthew. He had great comedic timing, and a very likeable presence. Of course his subsequent struggles have been no secret, so while his death is sad it's not entirely surprising.

Studio 60 aired to completion for 22 episodes. Once it flopped they just burned off the last six episodes after several months' hiatus in the summer. In any event this is all wildly off-topic.

If people can, it’s is really enlightening to read his memoir. He was crystal clear about his struggles and the sources as well as his knowledge that his struggles can and will help others and possibly avoid the struggles that he had endured. It might be too haunting to listen to the audiobook at this particular moment because he is the narrator and it is his voice that the listener will hear. 

His role as Sandy, Carol’s boyfriend is probably the first time many of us of a certain age group first noticed the presence and talent of Matthew Perry. A deeply charismatic and tragic character.

    • Bloodshed is inevitable now. It’s another reason I’m glad Black people aren’t getting involved in these protests. As awful as this is, I keep reminding myself that 54 percent of Latino men voted for Trump. These people were put in harm’s way by members of their own communities and sometimes even members of their own families. Too many people decided to touch the stove.
    • Maybe I'm still in denial, but nothing about Neighbours' ongoing social media output gives the vibe of a show that's ending. In today's 'Roundup' video, Alan Fletcher referenced that production finishes in five weeks, but in all the show's posts the cast are as jovial and lighthearted as ever. Remarkably so for people who are about to lose their jobs.    Perhaps they're just putting a brave face on things, and I know they approached the previous axing with a positive attitude. Maybe putting an upbeat face on things is a collective way of showing potential backers that there's still life in the show? Or is it possible that they already know the show has been saved, and we'll get an announcement next month when filming wraps and the show 'rests'?   Does any of that make sense?!
    • A very good week for male eye candy on GH. New Michael is beautiful, Curtis's arms looked great in that polo shirt, Cody looks even more handsome with his new haircut AND we got Marco in swim shorts rocking his lovely bod and chest fur.

    • Yeah when Jamey Giddens did breakdowns for DAYS, he would sometimes state in tweets that specific things were his idea that he had pitched to Ron.
    • I don't, since they've clearly incorporated them into Tomas' storyline, and I happen to like his tattoos, but his jackets not fitting doesn't mean they're trying to cover his tattoos. The clothing overall isn't the issue; it's the fit. And I expect(ed) more from Jeresa Featherstone and her team. Very disappointed. He's the only male, overall, whose costume irritates me.
    • "And OMG, watching the scenes of Roger's return in comparison...the quality in the writing really nosedived. The stupid mask." Very much agreed.  Having Roger hide behind a mask for weeks/months, with it culminating with him swinging in on a vine at Blake/Phillip's wedding....geez.  So juvenile. IMO, Guiding Light never did a good job reintroducing major characters, either from the dead or elsewhere.  Masked balls = awful.  Amish = awful. When Reva was brought back from the dead, she should've just showed up in Springfield as Reva, and informed everyone that she had been gone for years because she felt like it.  She had a four-year fling with some dude who ended up dumping her due to disloyalty. Josh would be pissed and declare that their love is not *always* but *sometimes* and he'd act accordingly.  Her kids would hate her.   
    • Agreed. The Emmys next year are gonna be a pretty tough competition and I hope we get a Days sweep lol  Not only does Deidre deserve a nomination for these last few weeks, but I also think Paul Telfer, Raven Bowens, Carson Boatman, Dan Feuerriegel and Alison Sweeney have good chances as well.
    • It’s not about a lack of faith and trust in MVJ, it’s about a a lack of faith and trust in Ron Carlivati, who I think can be very sneaky and manipulative when he wants to be.  And, all that “He’s just a breakdown writer” talk never changed my mind about anything, because at Days, it was “just a breakdown writer” that gave us some of the worst episodes I’ve ever seen.
