It truly has gotten better. The neighborhood is changing and a lot of high rise developments are going in, and the mayor used to represent Hollywood on the city council, so we're kind of his pet project. But I hear you, believe me. It's more walkable than it once was, during the day, at least, but I do not go out at…

Oh please! This is a citywide problem and the city needs to address it—blaming changes in neighborhood demographics is ignorant at best.

As I've posted before, I live in Hollywood and @Venice311 is absolutely correct about our problems regarding the homeless/mentally ill on the streets. There are SO MANY unbalanced people everywhere here: on the sidewalk sure, but also in the grocery store, in the parking lots, in the bathrooms at restaurants, in the…

I know this makes me look profoundly ignorant, but I never thought about that before. Thank you for sharing that.

Oh, yes. The "Come here, baby" and the grin and the hair. Oh, yes, yes.

Yes! I find it so disingenuous! I commented the same before I read this, I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks so.

Is Jennifer Lawrence not assuming exactly the "cool girl" facade that is bullshit (I read this here on Jez) all of the time—except when JLaw does it, then she's awesome and authentic? I don't care much about her at all (yes she was absolutely a victim in the nude photo theft and her private life is hers and hers…

No way. This commenter is talking about a longstanding relationship in which implied consent is totally plausible. The person Erin is writing about thinks coercion is inherently part of sex.

She was a bratty teen for years and years but now is a Good Woman who made a Bad Choice.

Ugh, I hate NuChad!

And Bo is gone, so no more Bope angst! I can't stand them.

It totally was, but the last year has been better. More unexpected pairings (EJ and Abigail Deveraux had an affair) and plot twists (ex: Eric Brady came back to Salem a priest and then was drugged and raped by Kristin Dimera). I'm sure that sounds horrific to non soap watchers, but you know how it is!

He's Sonny Kiriakis—Justin and Adrienne's kid. He and Sammi's son Will are partners.

I feel like I was going to say something like that, but you said it better.

I think you've got yourself pretty sorted. He knows you like it, right? And if you said, "Hey, I don't want to," he'd stop? I think you can have implied consent in a relationship. That's not what this whack job is talking about.

Does this mean pot's going to smell more like Tom Ford perfume and less like sweaty gym socks?

The article, before it was corrected.

I'm not feeling this at all. The romantic doodle cursive is way gross for what is, I guess, just an "if I can't have you no one will" story that ends in a woman's (women's?) murder.

The Season of Passage is THE BEST! I also love all of the rest of those you've listed, especially Whisper of Death. Let's be friends?
