hows he going to weasel out of this one?

Was a fan of days of our lives for a few years. Stefano was awesome 

One of the reasons I stopped watching Days was how's stefano never faced consequences. But the actor was tremendous.  Always wished he'd go to Y&R

Lol I wasn't aware that we had so many house wives on this board!

I stumbled across Y&R back in summer 1991 and turned out a few friends watched it too. Mainly because their moms did. It was really good. I came hooked. It was the Victoria/Ryan story that grabbed me and Jack/Victor that kept me. 

Watched religiously until last year when it became so bad I stopped. They finally hired some writers from the glory years who began this week and I tried it again and it's much better now. 

Days I watched because some friends did the Billy/Bo pairing was great  but once Marlena became possessed  by the devil I checked out  

but Mascolo was very good  great screen presence

2016... Jesus Christ. Needs to stop. 

RIP to Canadian Legend and big hockey Fan Alan Thicke 

 

Apparently he had a heart attack while playing hockey with his son. 

Ugh. Grew up on Growing Pains. Very sad. Young man. Seemed to be healthy. Terrible.

What could be more Canadian than playing hockey with your kid!

Avoid playing hockey and shoveling snow once you pass 50, no good will come from either activity.

Well, if you own a  home you really don't have a choice unless you want to pay a company to do it which is expensive. I think your age estimation is a bit early. More like 70, I'd think. I did my parents sidewalk from the time I was about 13 & continued doing it after I was married until my father had to sell our house because of health reasons. I lived in an apartment so it's not like I was doing a lot of shovelling where I lived.

I always thought it was him singing the excellent theme to Growing Pains, but it wasnt.  He didnt even write it.  But he did write the themes for Diff'rent Strokes & Facts of Life.  Multifaceted talent.
