Apparently a number of B&B actors liked Ingo's anti-vaxx post. 

Not a surprise, I guess, but just another example of why soaps and social media are a putrid mix. 

I would also point out that several of them don't mind putting toxic chemicals in their faces so why do they object now...

I didn't watch during those years.  Some well aged Limburger for sure.  And is that REAL?  How long has B&B doing the body laying on the ground with 1 shoe off?  It's been done at least 5 or 6 times that I can think of, LOLLLLLLL.

JMW and Jennifer Gareis both liked Ingo's post.

Aaron D. Spears tweeted replies to around 70+ tweets today (yes 70 or more replies) to defend his(Aaron's) statement that vaccines should not be mandated. ADS thinks vaccines should be a personal choice and he said it over and over and over today.
Edit to add that the following post after mine has one of ADS's worst tweets today.

LMAO, the first fall with a shoe flying off.  This was during the "Everyone hates Rick so who is trying to kill him?" era right? I remember the show at one point pretty much had Ridge, Taylor,  Nick, Thorne, Stephanie, Steffy, Jackie, Owen etc. all plotting to kill Rick. There even was a car bomb and a random propane tank explosion LOL, and the show even brought back CJ, Jake, and Rocco as red herrings for who was trying to kill Rick.

it had never occurred to me until now but it is funny how Brad did the same thing to both Rick and Thomas: after writing them as generic romantic lead of the new generation for a while, suddenly decided to turn them into a**h***s after a recast for no obvious reason.
And then backtracking.

Yes, it was totally ripping off from Who Shot JR! I guess Bradley figured Kyle Lower had a punchable face and hey, wouldn't it be fun if everyone had a go? I don't think he would have pulled that with Jacob Young who was a bigger name, more respected in the industry, and played 3 very popular characters on 3 different soaps. As Rick, JY can play bad guy but also demands juicier, more substantive material (well, as substantive as B&B can ever be). And the whole Who Wants to Kill Rick SL was pure meta camp -- we were pretty sure no-one was truly going to be killed off. It was like, let's enjoy this parody, which is created especially for The Soup.

I literally cannot believe it. Spears? JMW (who is incidentally Canadian)? I mean, I always figured Bill Bell and his family were from old school, low-tax Republican stock, but that was a different time, and largely a different party in many ways. Moreover, Brad Bell donated to Obama's campaign and his wife got an ambassadorship to Hungary. I just assumed most actors in soaps were pretty lowkey Hollywood liberals, but it seems like a larger fraction on B&B than I thought might not be. 

IR seems fully on the Trump motorcade, as does KB, but im wondering if JMW, JG and even ADS might be more libertarian and worried about precedence in terms of decision-making over one's body (hence vaccines being considered a personal choice, etc).

I have no clue what ADS's point is regarding vaccinating buildings/bridges against suicide. Woooooo.

Ah the 2007-2011 era of B&B was so laughably bad it was awful. If I recall right it was Thomas who was the one who ended up being Rick’s would be killer although they never explained how he learned to build a car bomb lol. I miss Drew Tyler Bell was my favorite Thomas but he quit acting. So far Atkinson is my second fav Thomas because both Gregory & Fode were quite dreadful in the roles. I have the misfortune of forever seeing Gregory’s Thomas ingest those aphrodisiac berries with Brooke while stranded on a tropical island.

      Why didn't Steve respect Monica and Jeff's decision?  I get he's Jeff's father, and that's how it came out, but I don't like the ethics of the story. A stranger gets to make life or death decisions over a wife's demands?   I hope Monica secretly never forgave Steve's chauvinism.
    • Question: Jon-Michael Reed's review of 1977 is up in the retro soap section.  It includes a fleeting reference to comedic scenes between Jeanne Cooper and Julianna McCarthy regarding “Kay's would-be beau, Ralph the Plumber”.  Could someone please fill me in will more details? I forgot that Kay and Liz were friendly before Jill stole Kay's husband.  And the thought of Liz playing a comedic scene blows my mind, because I only recall her being dour both in demeanor and wardrobe.  
    • I said this on Twitter on Friday when Leslie mentioned Chicago, so perhaps she might be related to one of Anita's bandmates. In addition, Leslie did say she grew up listening to The Articulettes too.
    • There was a scene in the past week or two with Leslie looking at some papers and mementos, which included an invitation or souvenir from Alan's memorial service or funeral -- it was dated as November 2024. Me just guessing but it seems to me that Martin's nightmares about the accident are from something longer ago than November.
    • ah thanks! do you know who the third one was in the blonde? the fifth one i know ive seen before in the brown wig but i forgot, and then ive never seen the psychic one before lol
    • I felt for Ted early on but as the story unfolded it has changed my opinion on him. To know he was cheating while his wife was struggling to give him a baby is a lot to deal with. Plus, this happened ages ago and still he's paying Leslie off and threatening her to leave town.  What really caused me to lose him in this episode was how even though he was busted, he still refused to take responsibility and come clean and the way he talked to Martin and Eva was terrible. To tell Smitty he better get Martin away from him when that is his SON who he used to cover up his affair? That is true dog behavior. Ted seems upset he got caught but I'm not seeing the remorse I would need to want Nicole to forgive him. I'm curious how I'll feel after Ted gets to talk to Nicole but I need him to fix it with the rest of the family as well.
    • I'm sorry. I well remember Jake doing Doris but I have no independent memory of the story around it.  Krystle with a K Lake, sure, both Tony the Tuna stories & NOT.  And, Jake also impersonated a woman named Bunny Eberhardt but he didn't know she was a woman so there was no drag. This weekend I re-watched Kevin & Mac, GH, and my strong impression is exactly what it was when I watched it in real time: They did not let them look very pretty. Of course, I think the best ever drag on GH was Alexis posing as the Q butler.  In a different use of drag at AW one Halloween, Jensen Buchanan went as Charlie Chaplin & Judi Evans went as, I think, a male gypsy.

    • I'm not sure who wanted them to dump REUNION & instead do a "Dallas-like daytime show" but it seems that it def came from NBC to AW through Rauch, so, yes, it absolutely could have been his (cough-another-stupid?) decision!!!! I've just begun the new Lisanti book so maybe I will find out. (I waited for the kindle version to come out.) I would apologize for being so critical & so sarcastic, too, but, well, I'm not actually sorry!  Silverman was NOT a friend to AW.  And, I believe the critique is on point & deserved! I wanted to explain why I think the timing is off for the 90 minute show to be a reaction to the GH Luke & Laura story & its hype. Because, for sure, networks & production companies did react to it! The first 90 minute show was Monday, March 5, 1979.  And, there was some unknown amount of time ahead of that with people arguing about it & then, planning it.  The Luke & Laura wedding was mid-November 1981.  They were on the run from Frank Smith & stayed overnight in Wyndham's Dept. Store early August 1980. 
    • terrible at using forums and inserting photos, but jake in another world had a drag persona named doris, anyone know the episode or year? http://www.anotherworldhomepage.com/ffad19.jpg
    • Yes, I am familiar with Fred Silverman. Agree, the 90 minute AW a very poor decision by Silverman. I think Silverman was behind the decision to go with Texas.
