What a weekend this has been. 

You can’t help but admire the fight that Shannen Doherty put up all these years and the courage and the bravery that it took to do that. 

It really is something that everyone should be proud of.

RIP

Man, what a legend. I don’t think anyone could have ever imagined her becoming a face of cancer in just her mid-40s and being gone not even ten years later. As young as she was, it’s amazing how huge and varied her body of work is. I think her passing is felt by almost every corner of the entertainment business.

I am a breast cancer survivor. I was so upset I misspelled her name, dammit. I have fixed that now.

Another breast cancer survivor just pointed out that when this awful disease metastasizes, it is then treatable but it is not curable. Inevitable conclusion. Devastating.

I have 2 friends, one very old & very close, who both have this kind of cancer in their lungs, an organ it seems to like to attack. In both cases the chemo is such that the cure nearly kills you.

I was a big fan of OUR HOUSE. Then again a big fan of CHARMED. I have been following her story. I have great admiration for her courage. And, finally, FUQUE CANCER!!!

People may say many things about her, but everyone knows to acknowledge that Doherty was a fighter and it is sad that she is no longer here to fight another day but here’s to the hope that she is now at peace. If only all the various entities would stop fighting each other and summon the resolve to fight for and against what really matters, defeating these life threatening diseases!

    • Was Blake the product of Roger raping Holly, or did that come after when they were a couple?
    • I really wish we could see that episode...absolutely, my memory could be faulty, it was a very long time ago. I'm not going to contradict what the actors said--there has to be a reason it made them so uncomfortable that they talked about it in the press and complained to TPTB. I think that was the first one where they made the point that they wanted to educate the audience about the subject.
    • I just did with GL and its made me very happy!

          Oh yes, trying to get into any soap from scratch starting post-2010 would be hard. I prefer to go back to the good ol' days, before the decline. 
    • Can we talk about how iconic the 1994 tornado was on AMC? I was scanning through old episodes last night and came across this episode. The tornado was epic and the storylines/aftermath were so good (Julia's scar/Noah!; Jenny/Ray/Nola/Jesse in heaven with Tad, etc).  For 1994, these special effects and budget for this big event were amazing. 10 out of 10!  The only thing missing is Erica!  I can't recall where Erica was at the time, but I really wish she had been involved in this storyline.

    • On the way to her own engagement party? I've read that the show had trouble getting the audience to sympathize with Rita, but...that seems bizarre. Maybe I can understand the issue with the censors, given that at the time, rape wasn't depicted the way it is now, and marital rape was even less acknowledged.  Wasn't Chris Brooks' rape one of the first honest stories on the subject? I just don't think I could get into a show I didn't have a working knowledge of. I know it's a different era, but I really tried to get into GH once Maura West joined, but it just never jelled.
    • Yes it was! My mom and I convinced my dad to get one. He was--how shall I put this?--on the thrifty side, but one day he came home with one as a surprise. To this day, I'm convinced it fell off a truck. (He knew people with "connections."

      ) BUT, we had our VCR and we could watch our soaps. That thing lasted forever! It was built like a tank. Even when we got new ones with more features, we kept that one.

        Blasphemy!  (Haha, I get it.  But, you should try watching AMC! 80s-90s was so good.)
    • I thought about saying how I resented the fact that those two newbies were tripping up the Puppetmaster of all Puppetmasters, when the best others could do was a stalemate (or less...). But, well...*sigh*
    • I read years ago that both Zaslow and Lenore both complained that it came off as a seduction because of CBS censors, so Lenore asked if she could say, "you raped me" to leave no doubt with the audience, and that Zaslow insisted that Holly's rape played realistically 
    • Wow it’s official, Gatwa is out… https://www.avclub.com/ncuti-gatwa-addresses-doctor-who-finale-statement DW fandom on Reddit is in a furor over how things went down and apparent last minute scrapping of the original ending. Also…Billie Piper again really?
