40 years ago , I had hair, I was fat and people didn't know if I was a boy or a girl so yes people should stop commenting about aging or body transformation or what women or men do their with faces.

I'd like to have whatever Michele Lee is drinking. Or could it be the fumes from her Lotus Point plant?

Hey, I think we was all cute in the 80s: 10% body fat, great hair, incredible fashions, dancing to the best music, at fun venues and going home to great Television - not to mention boundless energy and affordable lifestyles. AAAHHHH.....

I just watched the video and was thinking they still look great. They’re in their 80s but they don’t look it.

... and even if they did look like they're in their eighties, that would be fine too -- because, you know, they're in their eighties!

Donna Mills still looks very 1980s.

Yeah but I struggle with accepting that its possible that Val, Karen and Abby could be in their 80s - it makes me feel old.

The 80s looked very Donna Mills.

Mills made intermittent appearances on General Hospital in the 2010s as Madeline West, Nina's evil mother. Though they claim Madeline died offscreen*, I see Mills today and wish they would come up with a way to have her appear in flashbacks because she looks as though she could play a version of Madeline from the 2000s period, or even earlier with the right lighting. Mills apparently did not like the demands of their lightning-fast filming/production and chose not to remain on the show, but scenes done as flashbacks could be shot in a day or two, and since flashbacks tend to have fuzzy lenses and softer lighting, she could play Madeline in practically any time period.
* They claim that Madeline died of a heart attack in prison, but they could easily write her out of that and claim she's been alive all this time. I mean, Madeline's son Nathan West was just brought back from the "dead" after having had an open-casket funeral in 2018! Britt Westbourne (Madeline's niece) was "killed" two years ago by a serial killer, and she turned up alive two months ago. So having Madeline turn up alive wouldn't be the shock one would think it would be.

Every time you mention something about GH it looks like something that I'd like to see.

Exactly! Natural aging is the preferred way to go.
Definitely a compliment...

This is actually something else Mills has in common with Joan Van Ark, who created the role of Gloria Fisher (later Gloria Abbott) on The Young and the Restless. Y&R, GH, and the others barely have any rehearsal time and certainly do not take time to do multiple takes of scenes like primetime shows do. Van Ark ultimately left Y&R earlier than planned and they recast the role. Officially it was said that Van Ark left because of a scheduling conflict with another project, but others later said that she was uncomfortable with how fast the soaps tape, since JvA was (is?) more of a perfectionist and wanted the chance to work on her scenes more.
It would be interesting to hear the two ladies discuss their experiences with their post-KL soap roles.

Someone with a lot of time on their hands uploaded collections of scenes involving Madeline, Nathan, Maxie, Liesl, Britt, etc. from that period. It's all very much over the top, so it might not be productive to try to follow it all. But man, is it soapy goodness!

I can´t stand either how they are judged by their looks only. They seem to be in high spirits (even Michele, who is living in the middle of Titanic!), but bringing in Sandra Bernhardt, who has zero to do with our show, was a misstep. What´s next, a Zoom call with Rosie O´Donnell? I wouldn´t listen (or watch!) to that.
On the other side, I´d like to know if you are having little disappointments with their opinions and way of expressing things in general. I think that I´m more and more Team Abby and less and less, Team Donna. What about you?

I see they've swapped Donna and Joan's positions. It looked a little odd to me before with Abby and Karen side by side and Val on the outer, as it were.

There is a saying "Never meet your heroes", which might have some bearing on your feelings. Turns out they're more like us normal folks than we might want them to be.

A long time ago I watched interviews (DVD extras?) with actors from DEXTER and one particular actor who played a very commanding and level-headed character didn't behave like that character at all during the interview. It's almost as if she didn't even understand, even though she played it very well in the episodes.
I have met Joan and Donna and they are both very nice.
