#SBsoap fans are a devoted group, both to the show & each other. I didn’t know Carrie but it feels remiss to have a page devoted to #bipolardisorderawareness & not pause for those lost to it. Her husband’s FB posts about learning to live w/o her tell us all what a beautiful soul she was and is.

The original Insta caption was a wordy way of saying that discovering that #RoscoeBorn died of #bipolardisorder helped me process my recent #bipolar2 diagnosis. My hubby kept telling people that I was rewriting an #80s #soapopera & I’d have to explain why. He’s an accidental #mentalhealth advocate

All good writing eventually addresses plot holes and tries to fix them or at least distract from them. Part of the joy of rewriting Robert’s storyline was coming up for solutions for them, but the distracting dialogue here is acted so well, unanswered questions don’t matter #SBsoap #RoscoeBorn

I tried to cut this scene to less than a minute but I couldn’t. Every second is necessary. Am I right If you’d never watched #SBsoap before, you’d be able to understand the Robert Barr storyline & feel the tension of it from just this one scene? u.pc.cd/JWPrtalK #PeterLove #MarcyWalker #SBsoap

A script can be beautifully written, but the interpretation by the actor is everything. When Cruz closes his eyes, we get to see him go from pride and anger to “I’m being an idiot.” So much said with no words in less than a minute #SBsoap #AMartinez #MarcyWalker

I love #darkcomedy and dark #soapopera comedy even more. It’s difficult to write and one needs excellent actors like #RobinMattson and #JudithMcConnell to bring it to life. #SBsoap was certainly on part with #TwinPeaks in this regard if not better.

The most interesting characters aren’t clearly good or bad. We become addicted to them bc the human brain is wired to categorize & it’s never clear which box to put them in. I couldn’t stop watching original #rhony for that reason and #SBsoap writers were excellent at creating Robert that way.

The original scene was one of the most painful for #CruzEden fans but such incredible performances by #AMartinez and #MarcyWalker make it clear why #SBsoap is still so loved. Recutting this scene as I rewrote the Robert Barr storyline felt like a bit like a travesty even to keep #CruzEden together

#Bipolar2 makes the idea of seeing someone at their best & worst complex. Is it the best & worst of the person or the best & worst of the symptoms? Part of who someone is as a person is how they handle the irritability, the pressured speech, the depression and all the rest. #SBsoap

A leader is shaped by resilience, vision, integrity, and the ability to unite in hardship. Trump? Shaped by tantrums, lies, golf carts, and a spray tan routine. Leadership demands strength; he demands Diet Coke.

“The elected officials in Washington have to stop protesting in Washington. They have to go back to their districts…show the consequences…show the school that isn’t operating…they have to make it real.”
With social media, word will spread to neighboring districts—even red ones.

Democratic politicians aren't reacting with urgency because they're listening to the 80% of their voters who don't know what's going on. Maybe go crazy and do something different for a change: Listen to the minority who know what's going on. Because they're telling you this is a four-alarm fire.

The Trump-led sovereign wealth fund (SWF) is not an economic safeguard but a state-capture apparatus. Masked as public good, it centralizes wealth under executive control, enabling elite extraction and shielding kleptocracy behind legal opacity. This is authoritarian asset seizure.
