We'll Keep A Candle Burning in the Window

By -


While there is much ado about the Killing Club killer on One Life to Live and the prospect of Ron Walsh being Hayes’ accomplice looming large from internet rumours, it comes to mind how sorely underused Timothy Adams has been since his character, the fetching Mr. Walsh, the older brother of the shrill Marcie showed up in Llanview.

There were a number of slots that Mr. Adams might have filled on the canvas, but at that point in time fleshing out Marcie’s history was welcomed. There were intimations that he might have been paired off with various female characters and many were looking forward to seeing him more often. Rumours abounded concerning a co-worker who brokered to keep his appearances to a minimum. The political maneuvering and the missed opportunities, not to mention the constant revelation of what is going to happen in the “press” only made the viewer the loser. At the very least, Mr. Adams would have provided a welcomed distraction to the relentless ennui that is supposed to be suspense.

Ah, young Tim, we hardly knew ye.

Soap Opera Weekly reports that it is NOT Ron who is Hayes' accomplice. Well, apparently, rumour mongers on the internet can be wrong.

That's the good news. It is hoped that there will be more good news in the form of a subtler member of the Walsh Family getting some screen time before this show gets cancelled. Why does Marcie get no support form her family in this most trying time?

Perhaps because viewing is enhanced by absolutely laughable dances between some girl we don't know and another leading man whose time is better spent doing almost anything else

Sunday Songs: Abbey Lincoln

By -

Recorded in New York, New York in February 1990. ( Thank You, Singers and Saints Blog ) Personnel: Abbey Lincoln (vocals); Jackie McLean (alto saxophone); Clark Terry (trumpet); Alain Jean-Marie (piano); Charlie Haden (bass); Billy Higgins (drums). "Have we been waiting for something like this since Billie, then Dinah passed on--i.e. groovy, in-the-tradition jazz singing that actually means something? Heir apparent Betty Carter is on an ego trip, Cassandra Wilson is too arty... and so on. Abbey Lincoln's trip is something else again (perhaps Parisian) as she poignantly introduces "How High The Moon" in broken French and triumphantly ends the set with Francis Lai's "Live For Life." In between, Lincoln contributes good original lyrics from the point of view of a still-feminine quasi-bag lady--"social secretary" she calls it--an adept witness to hard times past and present. Lincoln gets excellent arrangements from Ron Carter and accompaniment fro...

Datalounge

There was a time when the Gossip Forum on Datalounge was a particularly entertaining cyberspace, much like a funny Joan Rivers routine. In the last two years it has become painful to read some of the posts there. There is, however, one rather entertaining thread that has been kept alive off and on since February, it is entitled: What gossip-related things do you actually know from first hand experience (here are some edited entries)… Dani el Travanti is still known as Miss Hoo-hoo by members of the Hill Street Blues crew. Kevin Bacon is totally straight, sweet, and has the thinnest body west of Biafra. Robert Blake is guilty. Paul Newman has had his share of men. His wife has had her share of women. … Keanu Reeves is great in bed--with anyone. …I dated Craig Sheffer once (now on One Tree Hill). He talked alot about how spiritually unenlightened Sam Champion was... Craig had some interesting beliefs about how DNA double helixes in humans were mutating in a way that would allow us to c...

Hi. I'd like to announce the arrival of Aidan Lee St. John into the breathing world. He appeared at 4:03 a.m. on Wednesday the 21st, weighing in at 7 lbs 5.2 oz. He is happy and healthy as is his mother. And although he has no job and still lives with his parents, he seems like a decent enough chap. And I couldn't be more pleased. Love, Trevor St. John, Father
