On February 20 1979, The Young and the Restless introduced us to Nikki Newman, and this Wednesday on CBS she will get a whole episode dedicated just to her.
Melody Thomas Scott has to say this about playing the same role for 4 decades, “I would never have guessed when I first accepted the role of ‘Nikki Newman’ in 1979 that I would be fortunate enough to be playing her 40 years later. I treasure the gifts and memories it has given me immensely. I feel most fortunate to have enjoyed every minute of these 40 years.”
How many people can say they held the same job for 40 years, but there are two people on the daytime drama who can say that, Scott and Doug Davidson. Pretty impressive, as long as you don’t consider all they have been through since the late ’70s. How many sex scenes, drinks, children aging unnaturally, cast changes, different writers, marriages, divorces, being let go and so on. They have lived lifetimes in just one.
In case you wondering, there are two actors, who are currently on soaps, that have been on their longer shows than them. Suzanne Rogers has been on Days of our Lives for 44 years and Leslie Charleson joined General Hospital in 1977.
Before Glenn Close was a wealthy woman who was cruel to 101 Dalmatians, she was a rich woman who was cruel to parentless kids in The Orphan Train. She looks the same now as she did when she was 31 in that 1979 movie.
HBO came up with an interesting and noble way to promote the premiere date of the final season for Game of Thrones. They want you to donate blood to the Red Cross.
They are holding blood drives at SXSW and in 43 states and 9 colleges across the U.S. from March 7-12th. What’s the big deal? If you donate, then not only will get some free cookies and juice you will also get a Bleed For The Throne t-shirt if you mention that is why you are letting them vampire you. There is even more. Everyone who donates from now until March 17th will be entered to win a trip to the show’s red carpet premiere. There’s still more, if you are like me and get lightheaded when they steal your blood, then Lyft is providing rides (up to $10) to take you where need to go.
I already made my appointment for Bleed For The Throne, what are you waiting for?
Don’t forget, Game of Thrones’ final episodes begin airing April 19th. You don’t want to miss a single second which is why they are giving us a month replenish our blood supply.
It has been a year of movies about music from A Star is Born to Bohemian cRapsody to Rocketman, but the one that truly captures the feeling of Rock’n’Roll is coming to Netflix on March 22nd. The Dirt will not be the Same Ol’ Situation as Mötley Crüe tells their bitchin’ story. It is exactly what Dr. Feelgood ordered because they were/are the bad boys of Rock.
From Vince Neil’s deadly car accident to losing his daughter from cancer to Tommy Lee’s marriages to Heather Locklear and Pamela Anderson to Nikki Sixx’s overdoses to all the girls, girls, girls they loved to their Rock star antics. It is a lot to put into one movie, but they are going to do it. We won’t have time to be smokin’ in the boys room when it comes out because it will be too fast for love. So we will be watching it in a continuous loop like a merry go round.
Since it is still a month away, can someone kickstart my heart on March 22nd! Especially since there will be 4 new songs plus 14 classic ones featured in the feature.
BTW I am sorry but Douglas Booth, Iwan Rheon, Colson Baker, Daniel Webber are too pretty to play Crüe.
Zach Braff loves himself so much that he got a shirt that reads, “I ❤️ Zach Braff.” It gets worse, then he put it on and had someone take a photo of him wearing it. Where are the men in scrubs when you need them?
Of course I am not serious and neither is he. That is why we love his sense of humor.
