Just found an article about the Irish Wish. Michael has more than a song in it:

Amidst the Lohanaissance, the actress is back on screen, and perhaps even better than ever. In 2022, she made her Netflix holiday film debut in "Falling for Christmas." Ever since that project wrapped, director Janeen Damian has been eager to work with her again. "She's so fun-loving, and she's always done such fun, light films, and she's effervescent," the director described during an exclusive interview with The List.

Luckily, Lohan now has the starring role in Damian's new rom-com "Irish Wish," playing a writer who makes a wish that completely changes the trajectory of her life -- and not exactly for the best.

According to producer Michael Damian, Lohan showed up to set each day ready to deliver. "She's so natural on camera. You feel like she just rolls out of bed and boom," he told us. However, while it may seem like second nature to Lohan after all these years on screen, that's not necessarily the case. "She puts in the work ahead of time and, like, the first take is magic right out of the gate," Michael said.

While most of Lindsay Lohan's films may have a fun, light-hearted feel to them, the actress takes every one of her roles incredibly seriously. "[Fans] might be surprised by her work ethic and how hard she works and how much she thinks about her character," director Janeen Damian told The List.

Throughout production, Janeen and Michael Damian worked closely with Lohan, not only as an actor, but also as an executive producer on the film. Together, they were able to give the world a warning in their film "Irish Wish" -- to be careful what you wish for -- while also giving audiences loads of laughs along the way, in exactly the style Lohan fans have always enjoyed. "She thinks about her audience," Janeen said. "She thinks very carefully about what projects that she does want to do, and she really delivers, and she shows up and delivers."

After all, show business is exactly that -- a business -- and it's one that Lohan continues to take over again and again.

"Irish Wish" is available to stream now on Netflix.

I KNOW  right? I was so shocked! There is a cute thing he does with LLB doing the couple game (for their characters) and she looks great also. 

eta he is so cute doing the game because he does NOT know how to play it.

@MsMalin Yes! MD is doing a lot for these movies that he and his wife do. I read several articles in that rabbit hole. I feel like a dork for thinking  YR is doing him a favor having him back but realized that he is probably doing them a favor. I looked to see if my cable has the GAC channel because that is where a lot of their stuff is shown.
This is a nice surprise for me.

Hmmm. I went down a rabbit hole with the mention of Michael Damian being married to James Best’s daughter. Whoa. I think there is some kind of Calvin and Hobbs transmorgifyer machine at YR because it led me to MD’s insta and cool, he is rather hot hunky in real life. Also very busy musically. And with films. And being all over France traveling. 
I have the just released Irish Wish (might be more words in title) with Lindsey Lohan on my Netflix list to watch and guess who has a song on it? Michael Damian. The movie is supposed to be pretty good.

Seriously, he looks good in real life.

When?  In 1991?  The old dude I saw doing AARP soft-porn with "the bug" looked really wrinkled & terrible.  I never cared for him, but 30 years ago he was a sorta pretty boy type, but always a really lousy actor.  Those closeups of Damian (with that giant wart on the side of his nose) made me think -- do I watch this or pour bleach in my eyes?  Which is a more unpleasant experience?  It's a toss-up.

Gotta say, I really bristle whenever I hear Victor refer to someone as "that woman".  Wasn't he calling Claire, "that Claire woman" like maybe a month ago?  Sounds so fucking misogynist!  I know, I know, he's been a misogynist for the over 40 years he's been on the show, but it's a slap-in-the-face reminder of just how much of a misogynist Victor is.

Oh, I almost feel a tiny bit sorry for Michelle Stafford in how humiliating it is now to play Phyllis.  Pulling a fire alarm?  Really?  Where is the inspiration for this brilliance?  Leave it to Beaver?  So she's 50-something going on 12?  I swear this shit with Danny, the Bug & Phyllis could have been from 30 years ago.  It's so idiotic & lazy.

Er, aren't prisoners escaping, a mostly unusual thing?  Ah, but not for Jordan, eh?  She's an elderly woman, but that doesn't matter cuz she can break out of anywhere.  Man, this super-villain crap is so dumb.

Yeah, don't be fooled by Lily's stance.  I thought she finally got a spine & was gonna kick the crap outta GC's 2 biggest assholes (other than Adam, Tuck & a couple of Ashley's personalities).  But nah, she gave us the hint she's gonna forgive those 2 assholes & will continue to be GC's resident doormat, at the ready, to be shit all over by everyone..  Enjoy being shit on Lily, I couldn't care less.  Btw, if I took a drink (maybe stealing the vodka Nikki hides in the living room pillows) every time one of those assholes said how they didn't intend to hurt Lily, I'd be passed out cold.

[Sake614]

Actually I think Lily is doing the right thing. If the game division is profitable, why dump it just because her heart got trampled? Just tell daniel to work from home full time or find him another office away from hers. Ditto for Heather. Sure there are plenty of lawyers they could hire, but if she’s good at her job and gets fired because she stole the boss’ boyfriend, that’s a lawsuit CW doesn’t want to be anywhere near. But again, there’s no reason their paths have to cross. And if they do, they can or at least should, be able to put the personal drama aside for the good of the business. 

[Skarzero]

Well sure on paper Lily is doing the right thing, but it's still fair to call her a coward/pushover imo. This show already asks us to suspend our beliefs on how corporate/office politics really work. Would Lily canning Daniel and Heather be unprofessional? Sure, it wouldn't be the first time a character was unprofessional & got away with it though. 

Nikki fired Audra for sympathizing with her snobby ass and didn't face any legal repercussions or pushback. Moreover, Nate got fired for trying to help Victor, who faked a whole illness, and Nate conveniently didn't sue for wrongful termination or sexual harassment (not that I believe he'd have the balls to do that to queen Victoria). I think Lily can fire Daniel & Heather for making the conscious decision to fuck her over, since they won't leave on their own. If they're as magnanimous as they pretend to be, I'm sure they'll take it with grace. But even if they kick up dust, Lily should not back down. 

Also unless Omegasphere is on the level of Nintendo, Epic Games, Sony, Microsoft's or WarnerBros gaming platforms, then I'd say they can almost certainly afford to dump it. (Replacing Daniel & keeping is an option too) It was a stupid concept born out of propping Chelsea's lame ass mental illness cure all game or whatever anyway. On that basis alone it can, and should go.

DID storylines... sigh. Eileen is doing a pretty good job with it but I still want it over, over, over. Unless there is a really hot psychiatrist waiting in the wings (and face it, they could staff a whole practice just for GC's first families) I don't see the point. There are dozens of ways they could write a Tucker/Ashley/Audra triangle without going to the DID well. 

I loved OLTL and Viki/Niki was an integral part of it almost from the beginning but it really is a problematic plot. 

Well, the president and the bridge disaster is interrupting the show and I'm almost grateful for the reprieve. (No offense to those affected, my heart goes out to them.)

Pretty sure pulling a fire alarm when there’s no fire is a crime. Even in GC.

But we know how crime is treated in GC.  Maybe she'll wind up overnight in Juvenile Hall for such a dumb prank.

Crime rant:

• How stupid is it to tell the DA who prosecuted you that you're going to leave your probation jurisdiction to follow a "rock and roll" tour?
• Good catch on the blood, Waldo, but who's left on the force to go CSI on a fake fire alarm?
• How the f*ck did the girls explain how they found Jordan and 'saved' her?  "Yes, officer, the three of us girls were on an antiquing outing and heard there were some real finds in this old, abandoned building so we broke down the door."
• How is anyone (looking at you Viktor) going to explain what Jordan was doing in that room?  I could tolerate this story if Viktor and Michael had some deal going with the authorities to keep her there as a sort of punishment (and then turn her over to them) but I'm pretty sure holding someone against their will is NOT LEGAL.

Lol, good thing Chris and Danny were still at 2nd base and not caught, um,  mid-stroke when the fire alarm went off. Would they have ignored the noise and kept boinking, or ended things prematurely? 🤔

Audra not wearing black today. Okay. Meanwhile, I'm still liking her and Sally's budding galpal relationship.

Oy, I dunno about ED in the ponytails and hoodie getup, pretending to be Ashley's teenaged alter. I think Jack was rightfully puzzled.

How hard is it to pull a fire alarm? I didn't realize doing so could injure you. Good job, Phyllis. Jealous nutbag.

Wait, what? Since when is Audra still carrying a torch for Noah Newman? You might be grasping for straws with that one, Tucker.

Jack, your trademark grimace over Ashley's outbursts doesn't help much.

More telling, not showing wrt to Connor's mental troubles. Meh. JG, will this OCD storyline ever be more than vapor?

Decisions, decisions, Tucker. Stand your ground with buttinsky Nate or obey whackadoodle Ashley's texted summons to Society?

Hmm, Nate keeps lowkey telling Audra about herself and AFAIC she's not really changing. Not sure whether she actually values his friendship.

There it is! Tucker finally laid down his cards and asked Ashley to get  professional help. Let's go! But tread carefully, Mr. McCall, because the aggressive and confrontational version of Ashley is operating in a possibly  perilous reality.😰

My wish would be to have veteran actress Erika Slezak do a cameo as the psychologist Tucker takes Ashley to see. First, it would be a cute reunion for her and TSJ as former OLTL castmates. Second, ES pretty much set the gold standard for a soap opera depiction of DID. I'd find it fun to watch her character react to Ashley's alters with a vague hint of "game recognize game."

Quote

How is anyone (looking at you Viktor) going to explain what Jordan was doing in that room?

It doesn't even matter because Jordan could straight up tell the authorities how and why she ended up there. Sure, she'll go down for her crimes but she should want the Newmans to pay for their vigilante b.s. too. Nikki calling 9-1-1 wasn't enough since she mainly did it to avoid risking an accessory to murder charge if Jordan didn't survive. 🙄

I had to laugh when Jack told Traci that Ashley blew up at him when he tried just talking with her - Pope Jack doesn't have conversations with people, he pontificates at them.

Just now, Js Nana said:

Jack considers himself the final authority in all matters.

[One Tough Cookie]

For the love of Pete, can the producers give Traci an actual LIFE and RELATIONSHIPS and maybe even a LOVE INTEREST? {and fire the person who styles her hair?}

[MsMalin]

Couldn't Danny think of something a little more original than the tired old trope of giving Christine a rose and then putting the petals on her back? I'm not even sure with the budget it cuts nowadays if that was a real or a fake rose.

[Waldo13]

It’s nice to see Audra in some other color than black. 

Watching that special report, although tragic, saved us from watching BlueFang🕷️ act the fool.  

I understand where Adam is coming from. Adam is in a Catch 22 situation. He’s afraid that it’s his fault and he’s afraid that Conner won’t respond to treatment making things worse. 

We have the tale of two woman, Ashley and BlueFang🕷️. Ashley is acting irrational and BlueFang🕷️ is just acting herself.

No doubt he was very good looking in a pretty boy way when he was romancing Jo on The Facts of Life in 1988 -- and on Y&R (maybe in the 90's).  So what the heck happened?  Too much smoking/booze/drugs or just unfortunate genetics?  Fact is, women could never get away with looking as bad as Damian does on cam.  The bed scenes with him and the bug were cringey.  Ew.

But this was a cringey ep, wasn't it?  Was it Phyllis' behavior or Michelle Stafford's too loud delivery & really awful acting that was so disturbing?  Blech to all of it.

So today we got to see Teen Ashley & Slutty Ashley & variations & combos of both.  Mmmm, OK.  Now I'm waiting for Cougar Ashley to go after Chance or Nate.  I wish she'd give up on Tuck cuz he's just seeming so pathetic & dull lately.  C'mon, Ashley, develop a personality that finally sees Tuck as the sunken-eyed loser he is & move on to someone else. 

Maybe Slutty Ashley can go drinking & looking for hook-ups with Phyllis at the GCAC bar.  Phyllis looked like she needed a drinking partner real bad . . .

I don't like any of the personalities Assley is exhibiting, but the 'teenager' one is preeettty dumb.  Would a sixteen year old (or whatever age she's supposed to be) hang out in the middle of the house where every one passes through at some time and congregates the rest of it? I would have believed this more if she was holed up in her room with a "Keep Out" sign on the door.  Did we really need a bowl of popcorn and an entire bag of chips in another bowl?  When did she run out to get her Beats in a lovely blue?  And with the pig tails and sloppy shirt I assume she's reliving her own teenhood 'cause I don't think that's how teens dress now.

My guess where this is headed, is that Assley lures Fucker to the Neil Winters boat house of doom and Fucker becomes the victim, maybe Audra saves him (Capt. Save A Pimp), and Ass gets sent to a hospital in Switzerland for the criminally insane. Anyone else care to guess the fate of this horrible story line?

For some reason the past couple of days on Cox, Y&R is listed as airing 2-3, so my DVR records 2-3 which is that awful The Talk show. And Y&R continues to air from 1-2 under the listing 'To Be Announced'. WTAF?!

Oh Lily, much as I wanted you to fire those 2 self-absorbed assholes, that was pretty much the worst move!  Now they're in a position to sue and/or get a very big settlement.  C-W is supposed to be a big company, right?  Uh, Lily, you're not sixteen & your boyfriend broke up with you before the prom.  And you ain't running Mel's Diner. 

There are smart ways to handle this situation -- certainly thru company lawyers, definitely separately & absolutely in the office.  But firing them in the coffee joint -- and then emphasizing to asshole Daniel how he "betrayed" her?  Sheesh, dumb, Lily, dumb!  That's saying the exact thing you wouldn't want to say on why they're being fired.  Cuz that'll give 'em ammo when suing and/or trying to get a big settlement.

Billy being so self-righteous was getting on my last nerve.  And his "sympathy" for Lily was cringey, it was so insincere.  He can go piss off. 

The Connor stuff is boring me.  Just seems to be an excuse for Chelsea to get all weepy.  Well, it must be in MCE's contract she has to cry in every ep she's in -- it's her shtick.  Feh.

I'm not digging The Bug's attitude.  I'd like to see him change his mind.  He's so wimpy & wishy-washy that it's believable he'd impulsively kick The Bug outta bed & go for Phyllis.  Hey, if Phyllis wants to be looking at that wart on his nose & his badly dyed hair so much -- I say, let her!

When Erica Slezak portrayed Vicky, a woman with multiple personalities they did it right. She was not open with her alters. When she was Nicki Smith she would sneak around with Vinny Wolek. She didn't stupidly act that way in front of her family.

[Joimiaroxeu]

Heather and Daniel acting like typical parents worried about Lucy's prom date, as their professional lives and reputations are on the verge of imploding. Sure. 😐

Here comes Billy Buttinsky with his opinions no one asked for. Ugh. I gotta say though, he was looking rather dapper in his dark suit and black turtleneck. Very 007 meets Bruce Wayne, striking GQ-esque poses.

Apparently Jill hasn't told Lily and Devon she wants Billy to be a part of every decision they make at C-W. Billy's no longer a member of the C-suite so why should he have such power? Shut up, William!

Heather is a lot. She exhausted me today just watching her go at Daniel like they were in court, he was in the witness box, and she was his defense attorney.

Interesting how Devon let himself be swayed by Billy's argument against fiiring Daniel and Heather. Sometimes it be your own family, right Lily? 🤨

Hey, Daniel and Heather, why didn't you simply do the honorable thing for a change and both submit your resignations via email? AFAIC, your trying to game out how to handle Lily vs. keep your jobs was disgusting.

I did not have Abby as the voice of reason regarding Heather and Daniel on my Y&R Wednesday bingo card.

Uh oh. Lily fired them but before she could drop the mic and strut away she made it clear it was for personal reasons. Yep, here comes the wrongful termination lawsuit. 😒

Yep, I wondered about Ashley's teen alter's look too. I don't think hoodies were a thing when Ashley was a kid, at least not for girls who weren't athletes. Or outside of certain major metro areas until the widespread awareness of rap/hip-hop culture.

I’m with Adam. Allowing him to go to that school could have made Conner worse than better. Also sending him off to the “camp” could make things worse not better.  Conner being at home and treated in a “safe” environment could be the best thing for Conner. Even being home schooled could help.  

Isn’t having Nostrils in the office more detrimental to Lily’s feeling than having Daniel and Heather in the office. First of all Nostrils also broke Lily’s heart but he’s a major condescending piece of shit.  Nostrils cheating behind Lily’s back with Breathless Mahoney is not less repulsive than Daniel cheating with Heather while Lily’s away helping her daughter.  Nostrils is too stupid to see past his nose. 

Yes I’m beating a dead horse but Nostrils has lost any right to opine on what’s best for a child when he lest DiDi in a running car. In fact, Nostrils should have been arrested for child abuse.  In other words, fuck Breathless Mahoney  for bringing that child abuser, Nostrils, into a privet conversation with Adam. When is Nostrils going to learn that his opinions suck the big one and unwarranted.  

I almost forgot. That wonderful CEO, who basically doesn’t have the business acumen to run a lemonade stand let alone a major corporation, fires two employees based on emotions than good business sense.

OMG, ButtBiscuit is the WORST!  He comes gliding as if he's got rollerballs installed in his cloven hoofs and rudely inserts himself into Devon and Lily's private conversation as if he's an airborne STD.  Break out the air freshener.

There's very few things so immediately infuriating as hearing that horse's ass bloviate as to why other people shouldn't be doing the same things he does before he gets out of bed in the morning.  Oh, wait, I forgot, he sleeps upside down, hanging from the rafters in the Abbott attic.

Jill needs to return to GC to see exactly what a plague she's released on Chancellor/Winters.  I'm wondering, though, if her previous loyalty to Lily, which always won over her feelings for ButtBiscuit has now been reversed?

But that wasn't enough.  Apparently still searching for a face punch, ButtBiscuit cruised his freshly squeezed corpse into Crimson Lights and zeroed his unwanted advice in on Adam and Chelsea.  Sure, she wanted to listen to him chew his cud but Adam, not so much.  

I wish somebody in GC would kidnap that twizzle stick of a man and sew his lips together.  It could be fun for the whole family!

Speaking of fun for the whole family, how about glueing Heather and Daniel to chairs at Crimson Lights and just letting the customers poke fun at them?  I'm now hoping that Lucy has inherited enough genes from Daisy and her grandmother to initate a new reign of anti-parental terror.  

Seems to me that Daniel and Heather's curated remembrance of Daniel's creation of OmegaSphere conveniently forgot that it was originally couched by Daniel as his attempt to repair his relationship with Lucy, NOT with Heather.  Lily helped him with that so much that it would never have seen the light of day without her, no matter how Daniel and Heather rewrite history.

They better expand that hole in Chancellor Park, it's gotta be big enough for two now.

1. Am I the only one who thinks that there is a serious lack of chemistry between the actor who plays Daniel Romalotti and the actress who plays Heather Stevens - I mean I really thought that at one point on today's show MG was going to break character in his scenes with VB and announce that he just couldn't take playing romantic scenes with her seriously.
 

2. It's déjà vu all over again: Didn't Daniel get fired from a position with Newman Enterprises by his then father-in-law, Neil Winters, because he had fooled around with Amber Forrester behind Lily's back while they were married?

3. Dear Lily, it probably was not a good idea to fire those two sluts, better to have found them space in some other building to work from and make DeVon their direct report.

4. Dear Billy, you have one colossal nerve intruding on a discussion between Adam and Chelsea concerning what would be the best way to address their son's OCD - this is the type of behavior to be expected of someone who aims to isolate the object of their affection from family and friends.

5. There really isn't a worthy institution within a hundred miles of GC that could very ably meet Conner's needs - you've got to send him almost 800 miles away to Maryland?

Yeah, this is how I remember it as well. I am honestly so tired though of Lily, that I am finding it difficult to feel empathy towards her. Yes I felt for her and hated that slut, Heather, because let's be real here, she 100% DID come back to GC to ride Danny Boy's baloney pony. That is fact from what I remember. And D&H act all sanctimonious about their twu wub, but they did fuck over Lily and they ought to resign to at least not shove their presence in her face on the daily. And yet Lily cannot manage to be professional and she fires both their asses with a salty pout and a 'You CHEATED on mEEEEEE' whinge, in public? WTAF man?

Not to harp on the Daniel/Heather thing, but they look to me like two people who each thinks they have to "fake it 'til they make it" because that's the only thing that will justify their selfish, shitty, behavior - - - it's kind of like the last scene in The Graduate, when Benjamin (Dustin Hoffman) and Elaine (Katharine Ross) run away from her wedding to another man and ride off into their future on a bus, clueless as to where they're lives should be headed.

It's not just that she's got a frozen face.  She's a non-actor (like so many others on the show -- er, Josh Morrow, cough, cough) who were cast cuz of their looks, have little acting experience & no training or talent, yet stay on the show forever.

Yup, the most we can expect from Vail is looking at her hair.  She "acts" (if you can call it acting) with her hair -- which is maybe the only thing on her that might change, cuz she's got no range of any emotions.  From what I can see, Heather has no sense of humor either.  She never smiles or laughs & she's mostly charmless.  And yet Daniel, GC's resident hipster (we know this cuz he's got greasy hair & tats -- oh my!), and self-described artiste & rebel, is so nuts for her?  Why?

Any guesses where they're going with these idiotic storylines?  Will Jordan be forever breaking out of wherever & killing off anyone near her for chuckles & giggles?  This is supposed to be hilarious and/or interesting?  Not so much.

The "Ashley & her personalities" bit is wearing thin.  If it's being played for laughs, it ain't working.  It's falling flat.  ED is OK, but she ain't Erica Slezak, who was & is an excellent actress.  And Erica had some well thought out storylines (at least for a while).  This seems so random, with no direction at all.  That's why I keep making suggestions on more personalities cuz I'm so bored with what we're getting.  These storylines stink!

While it would feel best for Lily to go all scorched earth on D&H, it's not best company policy. The better plan would be to just isolate and utilize...then enjoy cold revenge as she segues into a romantic relationship with a sexy  European billionaire. 

And, Lily...stop with the pale hair...just all washed out...go back dark.

Yes, send Connor to Maryland. Johns Hopkins has  great treatment plans for kids with OCD or who are "on the spectrum ".

Disclaimer: I earned a degree in psychology in 1978 but never used it so I am by no means a professional. But imo they are making way too much of this OCD. They should bring him back home and get a get a good therapist.

I have been praying for some kind of wrongful termination lawsuit. TBH I can't see one here because of their guilt feelings. I've been hoping for a sexual harassment one.

Well damn Lily really pulled the trigger 😳. Can't say it was hard to watch her do it though, even with the risk of lawsuit. I enjoyed it. 

If Lily gets sued for wrongful termination then Victoria and shitty parents better be next. I suppose there won't be a convenient NDA that Daniel & Heather signed so they'll have to stfu like Audra did after Drinki fired her. 

Nothing to say about Ashley & her 20 personalities other than I want it to be over since JG can't do it right. I didn't watch OLTL in it's heyday but what I did see in some of it's final years was still better than what is being done now. I don't  doubt that the good beats the show did with Viki/Niki and later Jess/Tess DID disorders, was likely the doing of other writers with JG sprinkled in.

As mentioned before, alters are supposed to be low-key there might be tics or habits that eventually give them away to one's that know them well & interact with them daily. But by that point the goal has been completed or mostly completed and the alter doesn't care about being discovered. Do we even know what the alter's goal is? Other than get Tucker's attention, which was done weeks ago? 

The OCD is already hard to take seriously(the needless handwringing part of it anyway) but why would the writers force all this, finally bring Connor onscreen just to ship him off again? That's not going to help the audience care about his OCD, serious or not. Also if Connor is at least happier at home it shouldn't matter that he's still showing symptoms. What he has isn't physical so he can be treated anywhere there is a decent therapist. He's gonna have symptoms any and everywhere, not sure why Chelsea doesn't get that but whatever...She needs to take her own advice, and accept Connor's illness in that respect first before tossing him to somewhere far from home....Again...

Is it bad that I found her more annoying than Nostrils? He was definitely presumptuous as usual, but he was only parroting what Chelsea wanted like a good little  prop. He was more of a dick to Lily & Devon in my humble opinion.

I was expecting one from the shuffleboard that's been made of the Newman Media jobs, especially when Audra got fired, but nada so far.  
I thought Audra, for sure, wouldn't take Nikki's unfair dismissal so easily but apparently Show did.

Not a bit, cuz she was SO awful.  It's hard to get around feeling that Chelz is happiest when she's nattering on about herself and her apparently endless psychological problems with Connor's crisis getting in the way of all that.  She seems happiest sitting at a table across from that ventriloquist's dummy she's dating and basking in his unwarranted praise of how well she's doing and how insightful she is.  What a pair.

I think she wants to ship Connor off to get the spotlight back on herself.
