I dunno, I kinda give her props for refusing to allow age to slow her down, lol? 

I also think she was smart to hold onto her flight attendant job even after Esther, um, took off (sorry, lol).  Just as Marla Gibbs was smart to hold onto her gig taking reservations for another airline until she was sure "The Jeffersons" wasn't in danger of getting yanked off the air too quickly. 

The industry is so damn fickle.  You never know how long your job will last, or whether another one is coming, so if you have a steady gig (like flight attendant) that doesn't interfere with the acting or writing jobs, by all means, hold onto it for as long as you can!  I've always said that if I ever broke into the biz, I'd still keep a side gig, just in case.

I hope it's not because she needs the money. If she enjoys it, then good for her!

Why? Because she's 76 and enjoys what she's doing. God forbid she does what she enjoys. The horror of that.

What in the hell did this story about Ashley’s DID become about? Tacking on an evil twin is ridiculously tacky but Ashley being violated by an evil twin (again!) is wayyyy too much.

JG needs to be dismissed so badly…

I'm still LMAO at yesterday's show. Not only did we get more OCD offscreen -- ALL of it -- but we were treated to Chelsea wheeling her luggage from place to place.

First she dragged it into Adam's suite. Then we got to watch her wheel it around Crimson Lights. Hilarious!

Maybe if the story wasn't so bad I wouldn't notice this stuff.

Wait, what's goin' on again, lol?

Just saw this.  Christopher Cousins' character on One Life to Live
https://www.oocities.org/historypg/oltl1991.html

Tina devised another one of her patented, destined-to-fail plans. She was going to write a book about the trials and tribulations of the Lord/Buchanan families. Publisher Hudson King (Christopher Cousins) offered her a stunning salary for the work and Tina began spending a lot of time with him in his apartment in New York. But Hudson wasn't really Hudson - he was a con artist by the name of Cain Rogan. When Cord discovered the truth, he had a tough time convincing Tina of it. They staged a scene to smoke Hudson out. Cord would play the jealous husband and barge in on Tina and Hudson; when he saw what they were doing, he would pull out a gun in fury and fire a blank at Tina, who would then play dead. The ruse worked: Cord "shot" Tina and then threatened to kill Hudson, who hurriedly admitted he was not Hudson after all. Hudson was carted off to jail (though he was never actually sent there),while Cord had saved Tina from herself yet again.

Megan bolted town and ended up in Atlantic City, where she pledged that the lupus wouldn't run her life. She then proceeded to get drunk and have the time of her life in the casino. It was here she ran into a man by the name of Heinrich Kaiser (Christopher Cousins), a German filmmaker who instantly took to Megan and later followed her home to Llanview. Soon after, Tina and Heinrich met in the lobby of the Palace Hotel and the secret was out: Heinrich was really Hudson King - the publisher who tried to profit off Tina's story months ago. And not only that - but Hudson King wasn't even his real name - it was Humberto Kaldaron, and he was a Spanish businessman. (Of course, it was later revealed that his name was Cain Rogan, and he was nothing more than a clever con-artist). Megan felt betrayed, but as her condition continued to worsen, she could do little more than pray for Jake's safe return and spend as much time as possible with Andrew.

Was that why he was hired for this role, since he's done subterfuge in the past?

[Khan]

For God's sake, would somebody PLEASE fire Josh Griffith and then stipulate to Steven Kent that he can never be hired again under any circumstances whatsoever?  Please??

Thanks, @janea4old.  I think, lol.

This show and its lame, drive-by, cookie-cutter insta-villains…

[SteelCity]

Is anything interesting going on? I mean, out side of the DID which frankly Ron C tired me out of! 

[Mona Kane Croft]

This has got to be the worst DID storyline in the history of daytime. Didn't Griffith do ANY research?  Doesn't he know a mental health counselor who could have given him at least a slight insight into the reality of DID?   Couldn't he have read a book, or at least done an internet search?  There is nothing even slightly believable (much less realistic) about this plot -- from beginning to end.  Griffith has used a serious mental illness to create a farce.  He'd never get by with doing this with any other serious illness.
