Whilst I continue to contemplate moving my #OLTL thread over from the Other Place, let’s start up a #SantaBarbara -centric ‘before they were famous’ thread 🧵🧵
> #AutumnOfAaron > #Neighbours ep 7342 > Aaron wasn’t having a bar of Nate’s gibberish the previous evening, and blessedly doesn’t much seem to be in the mood for him today at Harold’s either. Aaron’s still desperate to reach Tom Quill. Nate gets upset, and Aaron essentially tells him to scram. 👏👏

ONE cute Australian in absolute particular, but I digress

‘Twas one year ago today that I started my #SantaBarbaraNBC rewatch journey alongside my pal @johnathonk.bsky.social, and though some cute Australians slowed my progress a bit, I’m 147 episodes in and still chugging along. (A few of y’all are following along, and I deeply appreciate the love!!)
Welp, a journey of … 2137 episodes … begins with a single step. As some of y’all might know from the Other Place, an absolute angel human among us made every single millisecond of #SantaBarbara — probs my 2nd-fave soap ever after #OLTL — available to me, and I’m finally ready to jump in feet first.

At the doctor getting a checkup and an x-ray and I JUST realized, while standing at the imaging check-in desk waiting for the lady to process me, that my polo shirt is on inside out 😭😭😭 🤦🏻‍♂️ #idiot

The show is about half thrillingly brilliant and half appallingly messy, but William Robert Thornton on #Landman is the reason the sun rises in the EAST, y’all, idc. Get INTO it!!
I already knew, thanks, that #Landman is back for its second season this weekend, but the tv set mounted directly in front of my preferred elliptical machine at the gym sure did it’s damnedest to remind me anyway, playing the commercial literally every 2-3 minutes during my workout just now. 🤦🏻‍♂️😭
I’m telling y’all, #Landman is IT and Billy Bob Thornton is the reason the birds chirp in the morningtime !!!!

This moment, though, genuinely had me HOLLERING: my girl sitting there STONE-FACED when Mo mentions JFP. 🤣🤣🤣

Mo: “That was a good period!”
Literally Genie: “ … ok … ok.”

JESUS I shrieked #GH

Caught this during its late-summer theatrical release and can’t recommend it highly enough. Part of @billsimmons.bsky.social’s #MusicBox doc series for HBO, the archival material unearthed for this is spectacularly thorough, and the interviews are moving and incredibly insightful. Astoundingly good.

Would sell my very SOUL for these to be manufactured again, do you hear me
Kudos Bars (1986-2017): A line of chocolate-covered chewy granola bars, marketed as a healthier snack for kids, despite ostensibly being candy bars. Available in flavors like chocolate chip, peanut butter, cookies n creme, and many more. then eventually actual candy variants like Snickers and M&Ms.

So, there was clearly an edit done between the version that the New York Post saw and the one that premiered on YouTube yesterday. 🤣🤨 The highlighted portion — Genie’s misremembered whine about never having been nominated for a Lead Actress Emmy — got, presto!, snipped right out of the final cut! ✂️

And Soap Jesus saw all that he had made, and it was very good. #OLTL

what perfect album came out the year you turned 16?

[perfect is a big scary word, but this is what leapt into my head]

> #AutumnOfAaron > #Neighbours ep 7341 > hey, congrats! We’ve made it all the way up to Matt Wilson’s one hundredth episode! This is another big one which contains what is, nearly without question, not only his finest piece of acting heretofore, but also his *cringiest* … let’s dig in!!
November 17, 2025 at 1:23 AM
> #AutumnOfAaron > #Neighbours ep 7340 > welpity, it’s Matty Wilson’s 99th episode as Aaron, and it’s a big one, too, because … uhhhh, guess who’s back. 😭

I still am SO irrationally irked by this whole thing.

Jeremy Irons is SUCH a hoot as Jennifer Aniston's father on #TheMorningShow. Might be the casting coup of the television season!
Can't say I was ready for Jeremy Irons to pop up in #TheMorningShow, a program that never ever fails, for good or for ill, to surprise its audience!

#AutumnOfAaron > #Neighbours ep 7337 was a one-hour very special episode surveying the fallout from the Lassiter’s hotel explosion, which event occurred after someone had tampered with the boiler in the basement. Here is the very cool recap prologue that opened the hour 👇

See, but stuff like this just drives me BATTY. Genie WAS nominated for a Lead Actress Emmy in 1997 (for the original Nikolas storyline, when he donated his marrow to save Lulu’s life). #GH

> #SantaBarbara > ep 147 > it’s the third Friday of February 1985, so naturally I’m expecting a humdinger of a sweep-y cliffhanger! Kelly learns from CC that a blond man’s body has washed up on the beach, so it looks like Peter really went through with his suicidal ideations.

Deke’s eyebrows on #BoldAndBeautiful are so pretty.

Even laying aside the fact that Kelly herself was the literal prey of a sexual predator (!) and herself has a 14-year-old daughter (!!), this is crazy. Legit CRAZY. (And the other chick just nodding along is wild!!)
Megyn Kelly: "I know somebody very close to this case…Jeffrey Epstein, in this person's view, was not a pedophile…He was into the barely legal type, like he liked 15 year old girls…He wasn't into like 8 year olds…There's a difference between a 15 year old and a 5 year old."

> #AutumnOfAaron > #Neighbours ep 7334 > this show in this particular era LOVED itself a set-piece disaster arc that involved most of the cast, and we are sneaking up on the next one! Prepare yourselves, my friends, for Hotel Horror!

Well, it's a little clearer now why billionaires are so invested in technology that produces better written emails.
