Sorry can't get behind the Crispy Wing Hair! And that outfit, she looked like an evangelist or Roy Orbison without the sunglasses or somethin'.

And LAURA is a kickass classic of a movie starring the late great Clifton Webb, and Vincent Price as a swinging playboy.

Your agility around pop-cultural icons and references never fails to impress, Halee.

Hooked - what's the Rudolf connection? Sexist Santa? New dentist in town? Someone get drunk (red nose)? Or is it profound like people being true to themselves?

This is the list Hooked was talking about..... very Film Noir, actually....

Jan 5......Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer

Jan 12....Gaslight

Jan 19....The Borgia Stick

Jan 26....Back Street

Feb 2....Madame X

Feb 9....Charade

Feb 16....Laura

Feb 23....The Maltese Falcon

Mar 2....LA Confidential

Mar 9....Bugsy

Mar 16...Pulp Fiction

Mar 23...The Sting

Noir, indeed. There are some great films on that list there. And they all have a fairly common thread in them, too - people who are in over their heads when something big happens around them and usually involving a crime syndicate of some sort. Looks like this could be where (casting spoiler and speculation ahead)

Natalia Livingston's return comes into play - Gaslighting someone, maybe, by taking advantage of her resemblance to Emily to get to Jason? That definitely ties in with "Laura" as well, with the mistaken identity. And then there's "Pulp Fiction," where one of the strongest plot threads is the redemption of a character who's had way too much blood on his hands.

The way I'm reading this, I think this is going to be a very Jason-heavy storyline. Makes me wonder if either Steve Burton or Maurice Bernard is one of the longtime vets rumored to be leaving in the spring. After all, The Sting is about a man who is trying to avenge his former partner's death, no?

Can't wait to see what they have in store for Tracy and Luke. And holy cow, just CANNOT wait for Dec. 23 - Monica was great the last two days, and I really REALLY can't wait to see LC and SD interacting together again onscreen.

Thank you for putting that together, Star. I know the theme was there but it's been awhile since I've watched some of them and others not at all. The hospital is a big part too, but Guza has promised everyone is involved, so we're basically getting a 3 months sweeps. I hope it's worth his bluster.

The 30th can't come soon enough for me.

I've got a lot of hopes riding on that reunion.

It better be DAMN good .

It better be....

since ladya has gone MIA...I am going to email her that link! She is going to freak!

Thanks so much Stargazer!!

And...halee--TQ looked so great today--even the jane jetson hair was looking pretty good!

Halee--see what a service you are actually doing for the whole world of soaps and daytime--posting these vintage clips on youtube!

Everything Hooked said!!!!!!

OMG! THANK YOU SO MUCH Stargazer!! You are my hero of the day!

Yes, Hooked, I am SO freaking! I LOVE Hugo!!!! and yes I am MIA I skim the thread though and I scope out Halee's awesome youtubeness

Lady Ashton is having a snow day today....no work for me due to the major snowstorm...already 5-6 inches here and more to come. It isn't technically winter yet and I am already sick of it

Oh, you can tell winter is back.... my weather network of Ms. Q and Lady A is kicking in nicely. Toronto is so huge that they are watching the storm track across the city via traffic cameras. 6 inches already, eh? Kids are going to love that when it's finished. A few weeks ago they were predicting a green Christmas. Guess we don't have to worry about that - now we just have to worry about getting to church.

WOW, Environment Canada is saying 2-4 cm an hour, with up to 25-30 expected when it's over, with snow squalls expected off of Lake Ontario.

I'm not seeing any spoilers that are fresh, and someone on SD pointed out that with Prospect on Christmas Break, we probably aren't going to get any legit spoilers. Hooked, you picked a good time to be away.

Flurries have started now in the East End (where I am) and you can smell the snow in the air. Days like this are why I homeschool.

Okay heading out for the airport now...

The rudolph the reindeer one the insider said was in reference to a blizzard the week of the 5th.

Have a happy holiday all my Tracy peeps!

Blizzard???? That's so lame..... but then perhaps all the movie themes are lame and someone was just bored. I guess time will tell.

Have a good trip, Hooked. I'll email spoilers and recaps, but I think with the studio being on vacation there won't be much by way of real information until after you return.

Today was so beautiful....

Seriously..... Have your hankies ready....

Emma meets Grandpa Scorpio

Robin asks Robert to give her away

Anna and Robert talk about how Robin used to look just like Emma

Robert tells Robin how wonderful she is

Jax comes to give Morgan a present

Carly remembers a happier Christmas, and we had flashbacks of CarSon with Michael and Morgan

Carly calls Sonny to see Morgan

Alexis tells Sam she matters and to will herself to live (Sam's visions)

And the only thing that suggests Guza had anything to do with the show is Sasha died in Jason's arms (he didn't shoot her).

Trekkies...... I just saw this.

The Queen Of Star Trek Is Gone

Thursday morning at 12:27 am sc-fi fans across the world lost one of their most beloved. Majel Barrett-Roddenberry, widow of Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry, passed away after a battling leukemia at the age of 76.

Daytime Confidentiality's report...

Oh, you can tell winter is back.... my weather network of Ms. Q and Lady A is kicking in nicely.

I would follow Lady A's forecast. They were calling for a huge winter storm here yesterday afternoon through this afternoon. And what was supposed to start at 3 was moved to 5, and that was moved to 7. Then 8, then 9:15, then 9:45, and I have no idea when it started 'cause I fell asleep. We had freezing rain later on (I heard it). And what was said to be 6-9 inches of snow was changed to 3-5 and ended up being 1. Anyway, that's probably more than you cared to know.

Anything new happening in the Tracy world?

Tracy World.... no, but I keep looking.

My world - we got 10-20 cm depending on the drifts, but it's not as cold or windy as it was. The forecast for us is one storm every other day until Christmas (you getting this too, Lady A?). Now they're saying we could have 80 cm by the end of December. I tap out my enthusiasm at 40 cm, so we shall see.

For those of us not familiar with the metric system, 80 cm is roughly 31.5 inches. Did I do that right, remos?

5 cm is 2 1/2 inches. After that I need a calculator. It's somewhere between there and 40 inches. It's a hell of a lot of snow, that's all I know.
