PBS is going to be taping a series of shows featuring Broadway stars in December, for airing in 2018. Announced shows include Jonathan Groff and Sutton Foster, Leslie Odom Jr., and Stephanie J. Block and Andrew Rannells. http://www.playbill.com/article/jonathan-groff-and-sutton-foster-will-join-forces-for-pbs-special

But it was Sami that ran out when Will came out to them, and Lucas who stayed behind. It's no wonder Will was so furious at her, and not at Lucas.

I don't recall any outrage over SS-GB.

Seth Rudetsky deconstructs "Waving Through a Window." I love Seth, though I don't understand a lot of what he's talking about. :)

Tears. Oh, Avi.

Rumors of Vivian coming back...

Sonny's hair looks even greasier in jail, just not styled. Kayla's reinstatement was way too easy. Hm. Did Victor actually kill Deimos?

The A's traded Sonny Gray to the Yankees for three scrubs, two of whom are injured, and they had to give the Yankees $1.5 million. They really wanted to get rid of Gray.

Judi Evans has been tweeting about her job working for a cemetery (Rose Hills). I worry this means she isn't getting enough work on Show.

Wasan't it an important plot point that Benjy was Stefano's son, because he was kidnapped and brought back in order to provide organ transplants for Stefano? And According to Wikipedia, Benjy was murdered by Andre.

Whoopie was right. Everything happens as they're going off the air. The Mooch was fired today.

Damn. I may be too old to go by then. Good thing I got to see 1984.

So in this morning's rerun, JJ refused to believe that a woman who was suing for her property left in the house she was living in, had a television and demanded receipts. She said that her boyfriend had given the TV to her, and JJ told her, "Just go to the place where you bought it and ask them for a receipt. Simple." Really? I can go walk into some appliance store and ask for a receipt that somebody else bought? I doubt if they would give me a receipt for something that I bought.

Chris Christie, sporting a tub of nachos at the Brewers-Cubs game today (why he was let out of New Jersey, I don't know), got in the face of a Cubs fan. I don't know what set him off. https://www.yahoo.com/tv/watch-chris-christie-heckler-face-without-spilling-nachos-015556007.html

So I saw 9 to 5 at the Sacramento Music Circus. It was a lot of fun. There was a problem early on where the microphones weren't set up properly and the vocals were overpowered by the orchestra, but that cleared up very shortly. Stars were Vicki Lewis, the Queen, as Violet. She was the star. Tricia Paoluccio as Doralee. She did a good job of channeling Dolly Parton. Anne Brummel as Judy. She has a beautiful voice, and I would love to see her performance in Wicked. Old pro Paul Schoeffler, a frequent Sacramento star, as Franklin Hart, Jr. His solo on "Here For You" gave me the best vocal performance of his that I've ever heard. Kristine Zbornik as Roz was a comic star. Dino Nicandros as Joe had a really nice duet with Vicki Lewis in ""Let Love Flow".

And now she's making ridiculous Christian fodder movies.

Rear Window. Mainly because Grace Kelly just takes my breath away. The scene when she walks into the apartment for the first time she is absolutely stunning. I also like the original, black and white The Man Who Knew Too Much. Much better than the sunny color version with Doris Day.

Emoji Movie is rapidly moving up in its ratings on Rotten Tomatoes. From starting at 0%, it has risen all the way up to 8%.

Do you seriously think the show is designed to promote white supremacy?

I was thinking about that, because I remember a mention that Sonny did about he and Alex sharing a room when they were kids.

"Zack Granite" sounds like the name of a superhero. Or a porn star.

Tyler Christopher to Days? http://www.celebdirtylaundry.com/2017/days-of-our-lives-spoilers-dool-casting-shocker-general-hospital-alum-tyler-christopher-headed-to-salem/ He really would be a perfect Alex Kiriakis, if they give him a real story.
