What does the error message say? If this happens again, can you share a screenshot of what you see? Note: Do not share any personal identifying information, or email us at [email protected] with the information if you feel better doing it that way. If you have more than one SON Community window/tab open, specifically while logged in and/or on more than one device, you will see a "0" in the red box, or whatever number corresponds to the number of read messages minus the one you just opened. It just means you already read the notification, but you had not yet refreshed the other window/tab you had opened, regardless of which device you are using. It's ideal to only be logged into one device at a time. If this isn't the case, and it is a glitch as you say, again, please share a screenshot if/when you experience it again.

Thank you for letting me know. I had been seeing the error in the Google Analytics 4 system, but didn't know where it was occurring. A permission setting needed to be adjusted for the parent forum that oversees the Discuss The Soaps archives to allow people to read posts. For every forum, there is a permission that allows people to see it, read it, post in it or reply to a post in it.

Nearly a decade after the character was last seen in Port Charles, “General Hospital” has recast the role of Serena Baldwin, the biological daughter of Scott Baldwin (Kin Shriner) and the late Dominique Stanton (Shell Danielson), with “The Young and the Restless” alum Kelly Kruger. According to TV Insider, Kruger begins taping at the Prospect Studios-based set of the daytime drama series in Hollywood on Monday, June 8 and will make her on-screen debut with an episode scheduled to air in July. “I am SO excited to share that I’m not only coming back to daytime but that it’s @generalhospitalabc,” Kruger said in a post on Instagram. “I have wanted to work with [executive producer] Frank Valentini and [casting director] @markteschner for so long!!! This is the absolute perfect fit, and I can’t wait for you all to meet Serena!!!!!” “I am excited to have Kelly Kruger join the cast of ‘General Hospital.’ She’s a terrific actor and we look forward to working with her,” said Frank Valentini in a statement. First portrayed by Carly Schroeder from 1997-2003 on “Port Charles,” Serena is a character fans have been clamoring to see on the mothership series for decades, with their closest opportunity occurring over two episodes in 2017 that surrounded the passing of Serena’s grandfather, Lee Baldwin (the late Peter Hansen). Since then, though not appearing on screen, the character has been mentioned in passing, including in 2022, when Scott shared that he needed to handle legal matters relating to his daughter after she was arrested following an altercation with dolphin hunters. In addition to Scott and Lucy Coe (Lynn Herring), who served as a surrogate for an ailing Dominque who was dying from an inoperable brain tumor, Serena’s connection to Port Charles grew by one in recent years with the addition of Cody Bell (Josh Kelly) to the show’s cast. Cody is the son of Dominique and Mac Scorpio (John J. York), making him Seren’s half-brother. With more than 249,000 followers on TikTok, Kruger was named TikTok Shop’s Beauty Creator of the Year in 2025. She first made her television acting debut with the MTV series “Undressed” and followed it up with a small role in the NBC primetime drama series, “Titans,” starring Yasmine Bleeth, Casper Van Dien, Victoria Principal, Josie Davis, Ingo Rademacher, Jason George, Jack Wagner and many other soap alums. She played Mackenzie Browning on “The Young and the Restless” from 2002-2003, and made a brief return from 2018-2019. She also played the role of Eva, a forrester publicist on “The Bold and the Beautiful” for at least a dozen episodes from 2014-2021. Her other credits include roles on such shows as “Criminal Minds,” “Bones,” “Entourage,” “Happy Endings,” “The Bold Type,” and “iZombie,” among others. She most recently starred in the holiday-themed TV movies “The Art of Christmas” and “A Very Corgi Christmas.” In real-life, the actress shares daughters Everleigh Jolie, 6, and Gemma Wynter, 4, with her ex, Darin Brooks (Wyatt Spencer, “The Bold and the Beautiful”), who also starred in the series “Blue Mountain State,” which included a two-episode appearance by Kruger.

Late Sunday, in a carousel post on Instagram, “General Hospital” star Kirsten Storms shared an update regarding the alleged break-in that occurred last year while she was away from her home in Tennessee, the recent restraining order filed against her by ex-husband Brandon Barash (ex-Stefan DiMera/ex-Jake DiMera, “Days of our Lives”; ex-Johnny Zacchara, “General Hospital”) and her status at the long-running ABC soap opera where she’s played the role of Maxie Jones since 2005. “I’m sure some of you guys have read the stories online regarding a situation involving something my ex-husband is currently trying to claim,” said Storms, opening up publicly for the first time since reports surfaced in April that Barash had filed an emergency restraining order against her last year, claiming that she was “exhibiting concerning behavior” and that he feared for their daughter’s well-being. According to TMZ, which first reported the news, the judge in the case granted the temporary restraining order, which included claims by Barash that Storms had been experiencing “delusions and hallucinations” in mid-2025, explaining that things later improved for a short time, only to reverse afterward. “Because I did see one story online stating I reported the apartment break-in AFTER he filed something against me in court, I really need to address this entire issue,” continued Storms. “Not only because the records/evidence will show those stories are completely false (the break-in happened and was reported to the building and Franklin PD before he filed anything in court), but also because *it puts my safety in a dangerous position for anyone to try and shift focus away from the fact that there was a person regularly entering my residence while I was out of town for medical appts in St Louis*.” Storms is likely referring to another TMZ report, which alleged Storms had called the police “months after ex granted protective order,” something which Storms disputes. The outlet published a third story on the matter a few days later, with a spokesperson for the Franklin Police Department in Tennessee saying, “I can confirm that there is an active investigation as it pertains to her case.” “You can see from my previous posts that the damage to the lock on my apartment door was extensive and obvious. I took that photo in August of last year – months before Brandon filed anything in court,” said Storms in her post. “I was also speaking with the people who worked in the leasing office of the building (in person and via email), attempting to get answers on the damage to my door and wanting to know about locating building camera footage. This communication also started the first week of August.” She added, “I waited to post about the break-in on my Instagram for a few months. I had already moved out of the building and honestly, it’s been something that is difficult to accept happened pretty much as soon as I moved out here. “Choosing to take time off from work (for my own personal reasons) was a ‘leap of faith’ kind of moment for myself. Seeking a ‘quality a life” kinda thing?'” Move To Tennesse And What The Future Holds “Moving to Tennessee, as a single mom who lives alone 50% of the time, with a newly discovered brain aneurysm….well, I don’t think I need to explain how upsetting this entire situation has been for me,” the soap star said of some of the things she’s been dealing with since moving to the state last summer with her daughter. “Realizing that not only was my apartment/space/privacy being violated, but this person also gained access to my WiFi and cellphone *while in my apartment* (the Franklin PD has received evidence on all of this – resulting in an investigation). I haven’t been online much because of how the circumstances have been twisted into something that it shouldn’t be. This has been a very serious thing for me to go through.” She added, “Thank you for the encouraging DM’s and good vibes being sent my way. I have no doubt this will be handled in the correct way and I will feel comfortable remaining in Tennessee.” In an Instagram video posted in February, Storms explained that the break-in situation began last December, when someone “accessed my apartment, and they were relentlessly getting on my internet and doing stuff to my accounts.” She reported the incident to the Franklin Police and also shared details online to see if she could get assistance from someone in the cybersecurity sector. “If you could please DM me if you know someone, or like a retired police officer, somebody who specializes in this sort of thing, I would really appreciate it,” she said at the time. As for her future at “General Hospital,” Storms did address the matter in her post on Sunday, saying, “Given what’s been going on, I can’t say I will feel comfortable heading back to Los Angeles and returning to work. This has been an eye opening experience about the downside of my profession. My daughter is my entire life, she is (and always will be) my first priority.” Though Storms returned on-screen as Maxie Jones on “General Hospital” in February as a contract player, her name has been missing from the contract section during the show’s end credits since late March.

Weeks before listeners are introduced to the world of “Haven Falls,” the new audio drama created by Casey S. Hutchison (“Forever and a Day”), who also executive produces and serves as head writer, comes word that veteran soap star Amelia Marshall (“All My Children,” “Passions,” et. al) has joined the show as a recast of of the Eileen Callahan character, who is described as the kind-hearted matriarch of the powerful family, though her decisions are sure to send shockwaves throughout the fictional Midwestern town of Haven Falls. In “Haven Falls,” everyone has a secret, and loyalty is always up for sale. The story follows two warring families locked in a relentless battle for control, legacy, and survival. As the story unfolds, buried sins resurface, and alliances fracture, love becomes dangerous, truth becomes weaponized, and no one escapes unscathed. “We are thrilled to welcome Amelia Marshall to ‘Haven Falls,'” said Hutchison in a statement. “Amelia is a tremendous talent whose work has resonated with soap audiences for years. She brings incredible presence, vulnerability, and strength to Eileen, and we cannot wait for listeners to hear what she brings to the role. I have loved reuniting with her.” Marshall is the fourth veteran of daytime soaps to be cast on the new scripted series, following the previously announced Melissa Archer (Natalie Buchanan, “One Life to Live”; Serena Mason on “Days of our Lives”), Frank Dicopoulos (Frank Cooper, “Guiding Light”) and Jeff Branson (Jonathan Lavery, “All My Children”; Shayne Lewis, “Guiding Light”; Ronan Malloy, “The Young and the Restless”). Distributed by Spotify for Creators, the 15-episode series, which blends the tradition of classic daytime drama with the freedom and intimacy of audio storytelling, premieres Thursday, June 25, with weekly drops across all major podcast platforms, and full episodes available on the show’s official YouTube channel. Although Archer and Dicopoulos will be featured at the outset, Branson will make his debut in episodes releasing in July, as he replaces Nick Kretz in the role of Lucas Hale. Meanwhile, Marshall will first appear in the sixth episode of the series, releasing on Thursday, July 30. Marshall began her television acting career in 1983, playing Miranda on “One Life to Live.” From 1989-996, she portrayed Gilly Grant on “Guiding Light” before making her way to Pine Valley as Belinda Keefer on “All My Children” from 1996-1999. Appearing in select episodes of “Lizzie McGuire,” “The District” and “Strong Medicine,” the actress would go on to star as Liz Sanbourne on “Passions” from 2001-2006. She most recently had roles as Yolanda on “The Bay” and Rhonda Jeffries in the audio drama “Forever and a Day,” which was also created and executive-produced by Hutchison. In addition to Marshall, Archer, Dicopoulos and Branson, series regulars include fan-favorite performers from “Forever and a Day,” like Elizabeth von Isser, Kristina Sullivan, Benjamin Bryant, BJ Van Griffin, Candice Mack and Ashley Stewart, among others. Check out a promo for the show below.

Hope to have more soon. Once fully implemented, I'm certain it'll be a hit. Since the introduction of the new forum software last November, this is the first time I've felt happy with its features and capabilities, and it's also the first time the SON Community has received active design customization in its nearly 25-year history. The soap opera history available to read on this section of the soapoperanetwork.com domain is legendary. I want to show it some love.

Yes, @Toups once asked me a few months back how this would be set up, and I couldn't answer him at the time. Like at all. Since then, things just sat with the forums created and ready to go, but I couldn't figure out whether we should just go with separate forums and just let the Discuss The Soaps forum wither and die, since discussion would likely dry up, or if there was another way to do it. By the end of May, I finally figured out a way for us to not only keep the Discuss The Soaps forum very much active, but also integrate the idea of individual forums into it so that posters do not have to lose access to what's familiar and can even stay on the same page altogether.

I agree.

I don't expect things to get out of hand, where topics are created so soon after episodes have aired or are still airing. If that does happen, we'll address it on an as-needed basis. With DAYS and Y&R, as with the weekly spoiler embargos in place, the expectation of discussion is based on the U.S. airing, not the Canadian day-ahead or W network schedule. The majority of traffic to the SON Community is U.S.-based, so I don't think we'll have to worry too much about it. That doesn't mean I think we should ignore our Canadian brothers and sisters, but there is no way to keep up with every time zone or every country's airing schedule. In my dream world, for the future of the SON Community, we could have daily episode discussion threads for each soap, created by the admins (@Toups and me) in advance, so that discussions open at the appropriate time and ultimately prevent any issues. Similar to the monthly threads, sure, but allowing posters to discuss individual episodes without feeling like they're too far behind and that people have moved on, so they don't receive a reply to their well-thought-out response to what they just watched.

You know, I was just looking at an older daily thread and was amazed at how functional the forums were back then. I know a lot has changed in 20 years, with X, Facebook, TikTok, etc., but seeing 40 comments on a thread from just one episode was a great sight. Right now, I see about 15 posts per day in the monthly June BTG discussion thread, which is great as well. Just wish we'd see the same for the other three soaps (GH is also heavily active).

I completely agree. It could even have made Dani and Pamela's bond stronger had Smitty been her son, since they'd be related in some way, with Martin as Dani's nephew. Plus, whenever there is conflict in Martin/Smitty's relationship, it could put a stink in Dani/Pamela's friendship. Otherwise, as it stands, Pamela is some southern nobody that fans have no attachment to. I do wonder if the show can rewrite it so Pamela can still be Smitty's mom in some way; otherwise, no idea why she's even around. Considering other shows have rewritten worse, I'm sure it can be done if the writers want to.

Welcome to the official General Hospital discussion forum This is where fans of the daytime drama series, which airs weekdays on CBS, can discuss everything happening in Genoa City without being limited to a single monthly topic thread. NOTE: This forum is currently in beta test mode [more info].
