I agree—-same old same old. I wish storylines would break away from giving away babies; switching babies; babies dying!! Uffa!!
Another irritant for me is Sarah’s hair—-such weird styles she sports—-same “do” as my six-year-old.
Some things never change. It may seem banal, comparatively speaking; ….what can I say? Give the girl some “adult” flair!!

I did not like Sarah’s hair today (June 2). Other than today, I think it’s been okay.

Hi Celia
Its been a while. Hope all is well with you and your family. I agree with you on both counts, the baby thing and Sarah’s hair. Speaking of hair, Maggie has kept her hair colored and looking pretty nice, during her prison stint. Wonder if she will buy all of her husband’s reasons and excuses for what he’s done as easily as she has Xander’s.

Hi, Miss V, Good to hear from you……glad all is well. I moved into my new home a couple of weeks ago—-so, between home-schooling and getting this place together takes up all of my time. I do have help, but I am very “particular”…. everything needs my touch. LOL. Yes, Maggie has always had beautiful hair—full with a rich texture. Not many women can pride themselves for having such a gorgeously cascading head of hair, even in youth!! Maggie loves Victor—she has forgiven him before, but this is different—-too personal; involving her grandchild and daughter—too painful to bear. Yet, it… Read more »

Hi Celia Glad things are well with you, though hectic. You are right though I never thought about the jail thing with Victor and Xander. There wouldn’t be as much drama as with this payback of Brady’s though. He is getting on my nerves more so lately, than usual.Its too bad he didn’t spend as much energy keeping his new found daughter with him instead of sending her off with mommy dearest. Yes, it was horrible what Victor and Xander did, but Kristen never thought twice about tearing babies out of there mother’s bellies, just because she wanted one. I… Read more »

@Violet! Hello again, lovely lady!…It’s been awhile! Glad to read that you are hanging in there despite the increasing heat and protests/riots in your area…for the record, I’m a fan of neither!!!! (Despite having very strong political convictions, I don’t have a militant soul..I vote by ballot and bank checks…that’s it!!!!) But I did mean to mention that I was just thinking of you!!!! In addition to enjoying a lot of flashback posts regarding our favorite old soaps here at MFTV, I’ve also indulged in a few vintage Dame Maggie movies over the past few days, and they were such… Read more »

Well, hi Shay! So nice to hear from you again. Glad you have been enjoying our beloved Dame Maggie. I am still waiting for a new season of Doc Martin. Did you by any chance ever see a series called A Place To Call Home. I enjoyed that so much, and was so let down when it ended. As for the soaps, I have been more or less enjoying The Nurse’s Ball on GH. I just record so I can just watch the good stuff.I do watch Days, but it has been getting on my nerves and Iam not interested… Read more »

I’ve missed our discussions too, Violet, but it’s simply impossible not to go off-topic with you!!! I especially roared at your mention of the “good doctor” since we were taken to task over him the last time he was brought up in conversation…LOL!!! As for the Aussie APTCH, oh my, yes! I watched it all the way through, although I preferred the earlier seasons more than the latter ones, but thought the show finale was wrapped up pretty well in terms of all the characters..I really loved Old Lady Bligh when she was in her battle axe mode, considered Anna… Read more »

Hi Shay I almost didn’t wait for your reply. I am so excited. I found this movie, 2015, set in 1973 London with Maggie Smith, called the Lady In The Van. A homeless woman who takes up residence in a man’s driveway for 15 years. Is your mouth watering yet, or perhaps you’ve already seen it? I recorded it last night, so I cant wait. I hope Michael can overlook our off topic chat, but the truth is , there aren’t any soap topics these days of interest. At my age I hope I can outlast this craziness. Talk to… Read more »

Hello! Been there, done that, Vi! Watched this movie based upon real-life people when it was first released! Needless to add, there’s another EXCELLENT performance by our beloved Dame Maggie! I loved her as “The Old Lady in the Van!” Alex Jennings was also superb as playwright, Alan Bennett…in fact, these two absolutely spectacular actors made this story come alive!!! I could go on with many more superlatives, but won’t, other than to say that even in portraying a woman who was down on her luck and living in the most basic, horrible of circumstances—i.e., facing an existence which is… Read more »

LOL, Miss V—-Brady? I was never a fan. TPTB need to have him act his age. He’s the perpetual child—every soap has one. He turns me right OFF!! This Kristen is inconsequential , as far as I’m concerned. Now, if we were talking about Eileen Davidson? Well, Kristen’s peccadillos pale in comparison to her persona—Simpatica!! Thankfully, I don’t live in the city—-My newly-built home ( love the smell of a new house) is in Nissequoque ( Long Island, NY), a small village and suburb of Smithtown. While driving into town today, I did notice quiet, peaceful protesting near the only… Read more »

@CeeCeeGirl…Glad to read that something is going well in NewYork…it’s always a pleasure to read a good-news update from you! May you and yours enjoy a blessed and beautiful life in your new home! All is fine on my end, too…still massively hand-washingblessed, mask-wearing and keeping to ourselves on the home front…in other , NO protesting—left or right—for this lady and mine under any circumstances!!! And speaking of ladies, what a fab femme is that Louise Sorel!!! I recall in passing her early days as crazy Vivian, but she was also sublimely sinister as “Santa Barbara’s” formidable Augusta Wainwright Lockridge,… Read more »

P.S. That was meant to say: hand-washing, mask-wearing, et al…I had to cut-and-paste my post before refreshing the page, since my initial submission was stuck and wouldn’t send! Somehow that extra “blessed” ended up in the next sentence! Weird…

Hey, Shay—-so good to hear from you—-let’s count our blessings, amica cara—an upside-down world. The hypocrisy runs rampant—we cannot go anywhere without a mask; cannot hug our friends and relatives etc., That’s what we are ordered to do or not do. Hmmmm, but, the upper echelon of the opposition does whatever it pleases. People were put in jail for not following protocol ( a father playing with his chid in the park), yet the rioters and looters are shoulder to shoulder and faccia a faccia!!!!!!!!!!!! While the populace does its best dealing with Covid-19, the “unmentionables” follow a higher, God-given… Read more »

I know, I know, CeeCeeGirl! (Soooo good to hear from you!) I also remain grateful and happy to be vibrant and alive, even though law-abiding individuals like ourselves have been told we cannot attend church services, family celebrations, or observe Memorial Day/4th of July events and we simply accept that in the interests of personal and public health….yet, at the same time, throwing grand mal temper tantrums in the streets and destroying others’ property all whilst prospectively spreading a deadly disease is perfectly okay??? Upside-down world, indeed!!! You know what galls me the most? Being told that WE are the… Read more »
