Report: Robin Williams in rehab

3 minutes ago

LOS ANGELES - Robin Williams is seeking treatment for alcoholism, publicist Mara Buxbaum said Wednesday. The 55-year-old comedian had been sober for 20 years, Buxbaum said.

Williams "found himself drinking again and has decided to take proactive measures to deal with this for his own well-being and the well-being of his family," she said in a statement. "He looks forward to returning to work this fall to support his upcoming film releases."

Buxbaum declined to elaborate beyond the statement.

Williams stars in "Man of the Year," due in October, and voices an animated penguin in "Happy Feet," slated for release in November.

He won an Oscar for his supporting role in 1997's "Good Will Hunting."

R.I.P.: Anthony Geary has passed away

Luke's already dead and has been for a while, why would they need to need to recover his body to honor him? What for another memorial? Thats depressing especially as you mention, there's been quite a few of those recently and in the pipeline.

They can honor Luke by doing something to celebrate his birthday. Have that come up and several characters get sentimental and think and talk about him throughout the episode

that still exists? I watched it las year on teh ABC app but they decomissioned that

I was not a fan of her work on The Bold and the Beautiful, but her work on Beyond the Gates has been outstanding. She truly is one of the best in American daytime, tying with Mandi Line from The Young and the Restless.

Perhaps I was giving the entire team too much credit. I assumed the show snapped up Ingo when Titans flopped, were hoping to get Vanessa and it fell through, and scrapped together some wacky plot for Jax last minute, hoping something would stick. I was always a bit surprised they didn't try to repair the coupling of Chloe/Jax.
I can see the idea of tying him to the Cassadines in his return via Alexis, but that story was just odd. Jax left his entire life in PC to find Brenda and gave up after less than a year and somehow ran into Cassadine intrigue?
I could go on and on about the Skye romance. They were barely together and then were getting married. It wasn't anywhere near Jax's worst pairing, but everyone in the audience knew the show was ramping up the obstacles for Brenda's return and nothing was organic about it.
Honestly though I always laugh when I think about Ric and Marianna? What a silly story no one ever mentioned again. Did JFP really think THAT story was going to elevate RH to lead status?

I think Eva is at a point where either you love her or hate her. They can do whatever they can to make her likeable and a "good" character but people will forever hate her bc of how the writers wrote her this year. Thats were Im at with her bc I do not want to see her happy and side eye everything she does. Im over her

I don't think Jill had any plan there, no. She and likely the network were just snatching Ingo back up once he was free hoping for a ratings bump. Like most longtime GH characters, she and Megan McTavish clearly had no idea what to do with him or who Jax was. That was evidenced by the crap they had him playing with Angel, then the insta-romance with Skye who was Jill's favorite.
As far as I can tell JFP had very little affinity for GH's history or characters. She was about her favorites. That's evidenced again by the strike in 2008, when Guza is gone for a few months and suddenly GH becomes The Rick Hearst Show and resembles early-mid'90s Guiding Light, when Jill was in charge. Not that I don't love Hearst, but suddenly having A-story spinning around Ric and some immigrant woman he married was crazy. But that was Jill.

Trivia: John P Navin was in the very first scene on Cheers. He was the boy with the fake ID, trying to purchase beer.

Robin being practically shunned out of town by Jason and Sonny was awful. While the initial lie about AJ made some sense for Carly the show should have worked harder to make a more even playing field after the truth came out.
I would assume the idea was to get Ingo and Vanessa back at the time. Brenda was back a year or so later, so rebooting Jax was kind of a moot point in the end. Nothing Jax did in that year really changed the character or was memorable. I guess romancing Skye, but I believe that was only ramped up once the show knew they had secured Vanessa.
When Carly went to the institution after shooting Tony I could understand her fear of losing Michael. It was valid. Jason saving her from that made sense.
Once Carly/Sonny were together and married Carly was established. There wasn't a real need to keep AJ away from Michael all together. Once there were multiple acts of violence taking place in Sonny's world putting Michael in danger the reasons to keep AJ away from Michael became increasingly flimsy.
