As others pointed out, it takes time for sites to be able to embed content from different social media companies, particularly when there is a domain change. While X.com is a real website, for the most part, it redirects to twitter.com when it comes to sharing links.

Correct. I somehow forgot to include that. Thanks for pointing it out.

Due to the Labor Day holiday, most daytime broadcast shows were coded as specials on Monday, September 4, with the exceptions of “Today 3rd Hour” (1.854 million), “Today with Hoda & Jenna” (1.420 million) and “NBC News Daily” (1.125 million), all three of which aired without any exclusions or preemptions during the week of September 4-8, 2023. For the fifth time in 10 weeks, “General Hospital” attracted less than two million viewers, marking the first time since at least 2020 that the show has seen numbers this low. The series, which is entering its 61st season on television this month, averaged 1.861 million viewers for the week, just ahead of the show’s previous low of 1.845 million viewers during the week of August 17-21, 2020*. Among Women 18-49, the series once again tied its series low with a 0.2 rating in the demo (rounded) but hit a new series low in actuals/unrounded figures (0.18 rating). “The Young and the Restless” (3.077 million) was up +102,000 viewers over last week and was up +111,000 viewers over the same week in 2020. The series also saw a small uptick in both Women 18-49 rating and Women 25-54 rating actuals/unrounded figures. “The Bold and the Beautiful” (2.601 million) was also up week-to-week, although just by +2,000 viewers. The drama was flat week-to-week in both Women 18-49 and Women 25-54 rating. “The View” (2.104 million viewers) launched Season 27, which marked what appears to be a new season premiere low for the talk show despite retaining its lead over the other network talk shows and news programs in Total Viewers. The ABC talk show ended Season 26 with 2.270 million viewers tuning in. Why we don’t have Households or Total Viewers for “The Price is Right” and “Let’s Make a Deal” *Note: “General Hospital” averaged 1.665 million viewers during the week of September 28-October 2, 2020, which would technically mark the show’s actual series low among Total Viewers. However, ABC aired an unscheduled episode on Thursday, October 1 due to a baseball rainout. That episode averaged just 1.136 million viewers. Originally, the network was scheduled to air just one original episode that week (Monday, September 28, 2020, which attracted 2.193 million viewers). Officially, rankings are sorted by the rounded figures released by Nielsen. We are separately providing the unrounded demos for informational purposes only. “NBC News Daily” year ago, two years ago and three years ago figures are compared to the performance of “Days of our Lives.” “Let’s Make a Deal,” “The Price is Right” and “The Talk”** aired repeats all week and are excluded from the rankings. Any data points for either show listed below are for informational purposes only and will not factor into either show’s weekly or season averages. “The View” aired repeats during the week ago period (week of August 28-September 1, 2023) Week of September 4-8, 2023 Rankers Women 18-49 Rating Rank / Show / NetworkThis WeekLast Week2022202120201.

UPDATED: As the network has done in previous years, CBS has set the 2023-2024 season premiere dates for its daytime programs, including “The Young and the Restless,” “The Bold and the Beautiful,” “The Price is Right” and “Let’s Make a Deal.” First up: “The Bold and the Beautiful” launches its 37th season on Thursday, September 21, which finds Sheila Carter (Kimberlin Brown) learning that Deacon Sharpe (Sean Kanan) has gone to great lengths to prove his love for her.

Annika Noelle, Matthew Atkinson, Jacqueline MacInnes Wood, Scott Clifton (“The Bold and the Beautiful”) Photos by Sean Smith/CBS This season, viewers will learn if Hope Logan (Annika Noelle) will continue to pursue Thomas (Matthew Atkinson), a man dedicated to only her, or reunite with her husband Liam (Scott Clifton), who also admits to unrequited feelings for his ex, Steffy (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood), who is currently estranged from her husband whom she loves, Finn (Tanner Novlan). Meanwhile, Eric Forrester (John McCook) faces a health challenge he chooses to hide that may end his illustrious career. Yet, he’s determined to create his final fashion collection with the help of his grandson R.J. (Joshua Hoffman), much to the consternation of Ridge Forrester (Thorsten Kaye), culminating in a stunning Forrester fashion challenge between father and son filled with gamesmanship, heartbeat and high stakes. And, a shocking secret engagement will lead to either scandal or happily ever after for one couple. Bradley P. Bell is the executive producer. On Monday, September 25, both “The Price is Right” and “Let’s Make a Deal” launch their newest seasons, the 52nd for the former and the 60th for the latter.

After making several return visits to “The Young and the Restless” as his popular character Danny Romalotti during the show’s much celebrated 50th anniversary season, Soap Opera Network has learned that actor Michael Damian is returning to the daytime drama series once again, this time for an extended stay. According to a representative, fans can expect to see Damian’s Danny interacting with the denizens of Genoa City more frequently, beginning with the Thursday, September 28 episode, which also happens to be around the time the show kicks off Season 51. To be clear, it has not been specifically stated that Damian is on contract with the series. Outside of soaps, Damian has made a name for himself both in music and as a director and producer, which includes work on such titles as “Moondance Alexander,” “A Princess for Christmas,” “The Sweeter Side of Life,” “A Royal Christmas,” “Crown for Christmas,” “The Christmas Waltz” and “Falling for Christmas,” among others. Since 1984, Damian has released 10 studio albums, and his music was featured in the 1989 soundtrack album to the film “Dream a Little Dream.” Earlier this year, Damian and his wife Janeen signed a three-picture deal with Brad Krevoy’s Motion Picture Corporation of America (MPCA), extending their collaboration with the company that has produced numerous hits for Hallmark Media and Netflix, among others, including several aforementioned Christmas-themed movies. The next two films from the Damians include “Paris Christmas Waltz” for Great American Family starring Jen Lilley (“Days of our Lives,” “General Hospital”) and Matthew Morrison (“As The World Turns,” “Glee”), which will debut as part of the network’s “Great American Christmas” holiday-themed movie event, and the Netflix original film “Irish Wish” starring Lindsay Lohan and Ed Speleers (“Downton Abbey,” “Picard”).

Eileen Davidson (Ashley, “The Young and the Restless”) has joined the pledge to help save lives in honor of National Fentanyl Prevention and Awareness Day (August 21), and you can too! In a post on Instagram, Davidson reveals that she is a friend of Mothers Against Prescription Drug Abuse (MAPDA), an organization founded in 2011 by a mother whose 19-year-old son died after he experimented with the potent prescription drug Methadone. “Even though Chris had passed away, I felt like I needed to protect the other cubs. I did not want another family to suffer this pain,” says Janet Jones, the founder of MAPDA, on the organization’s website. Davidson, who is also an advisory board member for the organization, shared a video message on Instagram wherein she said, “The greatest gift you can give your loved ones is a conversation.” She adds, “As a friend of Mothers Against Prescription Drug Abuse, I want to encourage you to have open and honest conversations with your loved ones, especially your children, about drug awareness. It’ll help empower them so that they make smart choices, resist peer pressure and have healthier, drug-free lives. Talk to your loved ones. It truly is the greatest gift.” According to MAPDA data, about 3,300 kids as young as 12 try marijuana EACH day. Additionally, about five in 10 kids as young as 12 obtain prescription pain relievers for non-medical purposes. By the time they are seniors, half of all high school students will have taken an illegal drug, and more than 20 percent will have used a prescription drug for a non-medical purpose. Additionally, the earlier you start talking, the better. Setting ongoing conversations in the teen years, there is a greater chance of influencing decisions around substance use. Kids don’t always have all the facts when it comes to drugs. If parents don’t talk about the risks of substance use, their kids might not see any harm in trying all kinds of substances and feel uncomfortable coming to their parents when they need help. To take the pledge to help save lives or to donate to the organization, visit MAPDA’s website. https://www.instagram.com/p/CwNk-lOgiEL/ Note: The post Eileen Davidson Shares Support of Organization Guiding Families In Having Key Conversations with Teenagers appeared first on the Soap Opera Network website.

A few minutes ago I got the chance to speak with Suzanne Rogers about her 50th anniversary. She is such a sweetheart. Just speaking with her nearly had me in tears.

Walt Willey is set to return to “General Hospital” as his former “All My Children” character Jackson Montgomery, beginning Tuesday, August 29. In teasing his return to the daytime drama series, Willey said on Twitter, “Lots of other surprises in store so stay tuned (as they say)!” As for his return to daytime, Willey notes, “This has been so much fun, to put on the ol’ grease paint and good clothes and entertain YOU, to hang with fellow actors who know how very fortunate we are, to reconnect with old friends and make some new ones along the way, to feel the love and support you’ve shown me for nearly thirty years just well up and spill over me.” He added, “Thanks to ‘General Hospital’s EP, Frank Valentini, for digging me out of the mothballs! And to YOU for caring that he did!” During his mid-July debut on “General Hospital,” Willey appeared in three episodes with the actor sharing scenes with Lynn Herring (Lucy Coe) and Kristina Wagner (Felicia Scorpio) as the women tried to get the goods on Lucy’s man friend Martin Grey (played by Willey’s former “All My Children” co-star Michael E. Knight). Presumably, Jackson will continue playing an active role in the side story, airing across two episodes this time, according to a tweet by the actor. He appears in the Tuesday, August 29 and Wednesday, August 30 episodes. Lynn Herring, Walt Willey, Kristina Wagner (“General Hospital”) Photo by Christine Bartolucci/ABC Willey joined the cast of “All My Children” in 1987 and played Jackson Montgomery until the show’s series finale which aired on September 23, 2011. In the final moments of the episode, Jackson told Erica Kane (Susan Lucci) he could no longer stand by her and that she can go to Los Angeles alone after she told him she didn’t want to marry him. As he leaves the room, seemingly walking away from her for good, Erica runs after Jackson, begging him to listen to her. In the end, Jackson spouts the line, “Frankly, Erica, I don’t give a damn what you need,” referencing the famous quote from the 1939 classic film, “Gone with the Wind,” wherein Rhett Butler (Clark Gable) tells Scarlett O’Hara (Vivien Leigh), “Frankly, my dear, I don’t give a damn.” Upon hearing the updated line on “All My Children,” Erica’s run to catch up with Jackson just happens to coincide with JR Chandler (then played by Jacob Young) aiming his gun and firing a shot, leaving fans pondering who got shot – in the 2013 reboot it was revealed to be JR’s ex-wife, Marissa Tasker (Sarah Glendening). Before joining “All My Children,” Willey played characters on such soaps as “The Edge of Night,” “Another World,” “As The World Turns,” and “Ryan’s Hope.” His most recent acting credit is as Gregory Ashford in the digital drama series “Tainted Dreams.” Willey also played the role of Jackson Montgomery over a series of episodes on the short-lived daytime drama “The City,” a spinoff of “Loving” which itself was a pseudo-spinoff “All My Children.” The late Agnes Nixon created all three shows. Check out a clip of Willey’s recent appearance on “General Hospital” below.

Earlier today we reported what fans can expect to see during the upcoming season of “Tamron Hall,” now comes word that the ABC Owned Television stations in New York (WABC), Philadelphia (WPVI) and Raleigh-Durham (WTVD) will be moving the daytime talk show outs of its longtime 10:00 a.m. time slot, effective Monday, September 11, in place of all-new local newscasts, despite record-breaking season four ratings. “Tamron Hall” will instead be moved to the afternoon, taking over the 2:00 p.m. time slot in those markets, aligning her with the other ABC Owned Television Stations’ afternoon programming. Chad Matthews Courtesy of ABC “Tamron has had an exceptional year, and I know this move will grow her incredibly passionate Tam Fam even more,” said Chad Matthews, president, ABC Owned Television Stations. “And the addition of local news programming at 10 a.m. – led by these extraordinary teams – will allow us to dig even deeper into the topics and events that showcase our local communities and the issues most impacting them, as well as extend and expand upon breaking news and topics being discussed on ‘Good Morning America’ and ‘Live with Kelly and Mark.’” At ABC7/WABC-TV New York, co-anchors Shirleen Allicot and Mike Marza – who has just been promoted from “Eyewitness News Weekends” – will take on the additional 10:00 a.m. time slot. Sam Champion and meteorologist Dani Beckstrom will also join the 10:00 a.m. hour. Meteorologist Brittany Bell – also being promoted from weekends to the weekday mornings – will join Champion weekday mornings for the 4:00 a.m. to 7:00 a.m. broadcasts. Meanwhile, 6abc/WPVI-TV Philadelphia’s news anchors Alicia Vitarelli, Alyana Gomez and Nydia Han will host “Action News at 10 a.m.,” with meteorologist Karen Rogers expanding her duties and joining the team with the AccuWeather forecast. Lastly, ABC11/WTVD-TV Raleigh-Durham’s “Eyewitness News” morning newscast will be led by trusted co-anchors John Clark and Barbara Gibbs. They will be joined by meteorologist Kweilyn Murphy. Overall, the eight owned ABC television stations are multiplatform local news and information leaders. Collectively No. 1 across all U.S. television, reaching 23% of households and more than 34 million Total Viewers and 62 million digital visitors a month, with a record of 2.2 billion minutes streamed, the eight stations are comprised of WABC-TV New York, KABC-TV Los Angeles, WLS-TV Chicago, WPVI-TV Philadelphia, KGO-TV San Francisco, KTRK-TV Houston, WTVD-TV Raleigh-Durham and KFSN-TV Fresno.

Never thought of it this way but you are right. Sharon and Nicholas play too young. Sharon is currently involved/semi-involved with Chance while Nicholas is with Sally. In a perfect world, the triangle would have been with Noah, Sally and Chance since the two men are essentially in the same age group as Liam and Wyatt on The Bold and the Beautiful, which are characters Sally played against when the character was on that show. Meanwhile, Sharon and Nicholas would play more into the Bill/Ridge/Brooke/Taylor group, even though for the most part they are a few years younger than that group.

That literally makes no sense. Why would someone declare Fi-Core after getting fired from a soap? Again, per Toups' article, Sheffer went Fi-Core but was then told he wasn't needed by Corday and was fired as a result (after the strike). In fact, here is where Toups reported Sheffer going Fi-Core, which took place in early January 2008: https://www.soapoperanetwork.com/2008/02/breaking-news-list-of-financial-core-writers And here is his report on Sheffer joining Y&R as Co-HW with further details on the DAYS issue.

There are two separate things on the sidebar right now. "The Latest" lists five semi-random (mostly recent) articles with images as a visual. The idea is to read articles that are published on the website and again, they are generally the more recent articles published on the site. This is generated by algorithms setup by a third party. I have no direct control over it. "News and TV/Movies Headlines" displays the latest 10 articles posted in the SoapsLine forum. Correct. Unlike the main website, the SON Community has a large Desktop following which is where the sidebar did come in handy, particularly in showing the most current discussions. The only downside I saw from the feature was that some threads still might not get attention due to most of the current discussion being geared towards more popular threads like you said.

Courtesy of ABC News (via Screengrab) After a record-breaking fourth season where it emerged as the most improved returning one-hour daytime talk show, growing by double digits in Total Viewers and Women 25-54, and the only returning one-hour daytime talk show to improve in all three key measures, Season 5 of “Tamron Hall,” hosted and executive produced by Tamron Hall, promises to bring viewers more moving, fun, inspiring and topical conversations as the veteran journalist connects through engaging, entertaining and newsmaking interviews. The all-new season of the nationally syndicated daytime show is set to launch on Tuesday, September 5 (check local listings). “The number five is said to represent freedom and curiosity, and with season five we are holding nothing back,” said Hall. “Personally, I feel freer than ever to bring authentic and meaningful experiences to the Tam Fam. There is no better feeling than keeping it real and sharing that with our guests and our audience.” “Entering season five of a talk show is a true milestone, especially in today’s media landscape, and it’s clear why ‘Tamron Hall’ is the only one-hour daytime talk show that continues to grow its audience across all key measures,” noted ABC News President Kim Godwin. “Tamron’s conversation-starting interviews and invigorating discussions continue to tap into the zeitgeist and the heartbeat of America.” “Tamron continues to win over viewers with her in-depth, thought-provoking interviews and genuine exuberance and passion for helping to make a difference in people’s lives,” said Chad Matthews, president of ABC Owned Television Stations. “We are very much looking forward to season five. With her signature style and ability to ‘keep it real’ with audiences, we know that it will be the best one yet.” “We are just as excited as the Tam Fam for season five!” said Quiana Burns, executive producer. “We made it this far because of the loyalty we’ve built with our dedicated viewers, and this season we’re proud to be delivering a unique combination of hard-hitting interviews, important topics, joy, fun and so much more.” In an all-new promo, Tamron Hall surprises some of her biggest “Tam Fam” fans at New York City’s Madison Square Park, where they reveal some of the things they love about the daytime talk show and its host. With Hall watching from backstage, the lucky fans get the chance to meet the host as they talk about what to expect from Season 5. Watch the promo below. “Tam Fam” Fan with Tamron Hall (“Tamron Hall” Season Five Promo Shoot) Photo by Jeff Neira/ABC “Tam Fam” Fan with Tamron Hall (“Tamron Hall” Season Five Promo Shoot) Photo by Jeff Neira/ABC Since its debut in September 2019, “Tamron Hall” continues to be one of television’s highest-rated daytime shows, consistently delivering standout moments that become central to the cultural conversation. Season four highlights included an on-site Uvalde special following the tragic school shooting, an hour on the banned books controversy, an exclusive interview and behind-the-scenes look at Usher’s Las Vegas residency, sit-downs with former first lady Michelle Obama and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton; and exclusive daytime interviews with Michelle Branch, Niecy Nash-Betts and her partner, Jessica Betts; “Blac Chyna” Angela White, Elizabeth Smart, Erykah Badu, Salt-N-Pepa, Tanya Tucker, Terrell Owens and more. “Tamron Hall” was recently honored with three nominations for the 2023 Daytime Emmy Awards, including Outstanding Daytime Talk Series Host, an award Hall has won twice. The daytime talk show was also nominated for an NAACP Image award and a GLAAD media award in 2023. Featuring a dynamic mix of live and taped shows, the show is executive produced by Hall and Quiana Burns and is broadcast from New York City. ABC News produces with Disney Entertainment distributing in national syndication. For times and channels, visit the show’s official website and follow the show on social media @TamronHallShow.

According to Toups' exclusive report at the time, Sheffer elected to go Fi-Core during the strike (2007/2008). However, Corday decided not to use his services and fired him. However, Sheffer went on to join "The Young and the Restless" as that show's co-head writer. Now, the question is was Corday legally allowed to fire Sheffer at the time since he went Fi-Core during a strike? I believe the answer is yes in that regard, otherwise, Sheffer could have remained the show's head writer as a striking member and could not have been fired until after the strike was officially over as that would have been illegal to do. Then again, his going on to become a co-head writer at Y&R could be Sony's way of making up for his firing at DAYS. Otherwise, I found nothing on Corday paying Sheffer "a hefty fine" for being fired. Source? I think there might be confusion on the matter due to this:

Yes, it did. I was advised to increase the font to 18px as believe it or not, it helps with revenue. Also, some posters have been outright vocal about using ad blockers while viewing the message boards over the years, which I touched upon recently in another thread. Since advertising is the only revenue stream keeping the lights on, I must do everything possible to increase the numbers. Otherwise, it's not worth spending money on the place if I can't afford to. As it stands, the message boards continue being a money loser month after month. Note: To be clear, before the change earlier this week to 18px, the font size for posts was 16px.

People were complaining they were seeing posts from users they put on ignore.

Watched the movie, but the longer it went on, the more I wished it would be over. Didn't read the book, but the movie would have been better off as a series. There were cute parts, but between terrible writing and so-so acting, the film overall fell apart. Completely ignoring or resolving how that "reporter" got access to information about their affair and the Texas plan was jarring and bothered me to no end. The casting of the older brother as the prince who would later become king was a choice. The complete lack of a Secret Service detail in several scenes or the British Royal Guard for that matter, was just lazy. The use of CGI in scenes was also lazy. The quickness of the couple flying back and forth from the U.S. to Britain and vice-versa is also lazy. Actors were cute. Jokes fell flat. Ending was crap.

Firing Ron during a writers strike would probably be a bad look, but if he doesn't come back with better material when it's over, the new EP needs to fire him. It would be illegal to fire a writer during a strike. Not only would they face a lengthy lawsuit by the individual, but they'd be lucky to get another WGA union writer to lead the show's writing team ever again. Only a Fi-Core writer would ever be hired if they ever did that. Which is why it'll never happen (during a strike). It has happened after the strike was over and the new contract was signed, however (see Lynn Marie Latham in 2008).

After responding to a social media post highlighting it being 19 years since she debuted as Belle Black on “Days of our Lives,” actress Martha Madison recently spoke with TV Insider’s Michael Maloney about her decision to exit the daytime drama series with her last appearance scheduled to air sometime in early November. On Thursday, August 10, a Twitter fan account that shares photo collages every day of key points in “Days of our Lives” history noted that it had been 19 years since Madison assumed the role of Belle with a tweet that included screenshots of the actress and her character’s then on-screen love interest, Phillip Kiriakis (then played by actor Kyle Brandt), with the coupling dubbed “Phelle.” In response to the tweet, Madison said, “Feels like yesterday and a million lifetimes ago all at the same time. Thank you to all the fans who supported me on my bumpy journey through Salem. It was a wild ride.” After seeing her response, fans immediately picked up on her words in the past tense, seemingly confirming rumors that Madison had already departed the series earlier this year, and before the outcome of the reported behind-the-scenes turmoil that plagued the series over the last couple of weeks and eventually led to the ouster of now-former co-executive producer Albert Alarr. Speaking of Alarr, he is the one who told Madison back in March, one day before the show received its two-year renewal order from Peacock, that her contract wasn’t being renewed and that Belle would be written off the show, which became a “lightbulb moment” for Madison. “I was surprised to hear I was leaving, too! [Laughs] Actually, I wasn’t,” commented Madison shortly after addressing the quick end to the Belle and EJ (Dan Feuerriegel) romance storyline, which she pointed out got wrapped up in just one episode. Greg Rikaart, Martha Madison and Dan Feuerriegel (“Days of our Lives’) Photo by XJJohnson/JPI Studios “Albert called me the day before the renewal was announced to let me know that they decided to write me off the show again. I asked why they chose me, and he said it was budget-dictated. He told me specifics about how they were going to send my character off, and then I thanked him [and] wished him well, and that was that,” Madison says of how she learned she was being let go from the show for the umpteenth time. In the first Deadline article that brought the misconduct investigation to the public’s attention last month, the outlet noted that seven contract actresses had departed the series around the time of layoffs, five of whom were either let go altogether or dropped to recurring status. The remaining two actresses reportedly made the decision to leave the series on their own. “Honestly, the writing had been on the wall since they squashed the EJ and Belle story so abruptly, so I wasn’t fully surprised,” Madison pointed out again in the interview with Maloney. “But then weeks later as I was saying my goodbyes to everyone, I randomly got another script. I was so confused because it indicated that Belle was staying in town, but nobody had spoken to me about that. Ultimately, they said they’d like me to stick around to ‘occasionally do legal stuff,’ and ‘then, you never know what might happen after that,’ and really that was just such a lightbulb moment for me. “In my opinion, Belle was never meant to be a peripheral character. She is the only child of Marlena [Deidre Hall] and John [Drake Hogestyn], and, after 19 years of coming and going from the show, it just finally clicked for me that they were never going to showcase the character the way I felt she should be. So, I declined the opportunity to recur and shot that last episode in April. Don’t get me wrong, I am so grateful to have played Belle for two decades, but I’m ready for more. It was just time to leave.” Even though she formally left the series prior to the ongoing writers and actors strikes, Madison makes it clear that she stands by her words even today, saying, “Yes. I feel like I can be patient now and wait for the right opportunities and the right projects. I’m very lucky that I have a full-time job as a vice-president at a recruitment agency [One Haus]. So, I’m very fortunate that I don’t have to make these career decisions based on financial needs. I’ve worked very hard to get to this place in my life where I’m able to make decisions based on what’s fulfilling for me and what’s going to feel good in my life.” Janet Drucker, Albert Alarr Courtesy of YouTube (via Screengrab); Photo by Howard Wise/JPI Studios With a change in leadership at the show following Alarr’s ouster and Janet Drucker replacing him, Madison might consider returning to the show should they ever reach out, but she’d need some assurances first. “I asked ‘DAYS’ for a contract when the show came back from the covid break in 2020,” Madison reveals. “It was going to require me moving my family back to Los Angeles from Dallas, so I needed some assurance from the show that they were going to use me regularly. I’d still need that [if I were to go back], and like I mentioned before, it would need to be because they were going to tell compelling stories with Belle in a pivotal position in those stories. I’ve spent my entire life, from six years old, training to be an actress. I want to act. “But I think the show is in excellent hands with Janet; she is kind and compassionate and has been there a long time. She is excellent at her job and has the full respect of the cast and crew. I think she’s going to do great.” As for Alarr himself, Madison addresses the matter by saying this: “All I’ll say is that I would not wish that type of public fallout on anyone, and I hope everyone involved is able to find some peace going forward.” Meanwhile, she’s open to other acting projects should they come her way, of course following a hoped-for positive outcome to the actors strike, or even another soap opera which isn’t part of the strike due to differing contracts. “I’m absolutely open to projects that would offer the chance to play a compelling character in a fun and collaborative environment,” Madison says of future possibilities. “I love daytime TV and working in soap operas. I’m a huge fan of the genre. I’d be honored to work on any of the shows. I’d just want to make sure it’s going to be a dynamic character that would be featured regularly.” For more from Madison in her TV Insider interview, click here.

In a Facebook live on Sunday, Eric Braeden (“The Young and the Restless”) announced that he is now cancer free. The news comes nearly four months after he first announced his bladder cancer diagnosis. “I want to talk to you tonight because I want to tell you I’m grateful for all of your good thoughts and your prayers,” said Braeden in the video, which ran for nearly 26 minutes overall. “It’s meant a great deal to me, and I can tell you it obviously has helped because I had my last cystoscopy two days ago – that’s when they thread a camera into your bladder – and I’m cancer free! They couldn’t find a damn thing.” Again thanking fans for their support and prayers, Braeden went on to make clear that this does not mean the work is done. “This does not mean that it is all over. I need to still do about three prophylactic infusions,” he says, referring to BCG treatment where they “infuse your bladder with some stuff that apparently kills the cancer.” Braeden shared that his latest update stems from a visit to the doctor three days prior (Friday, August 11), noting, “the original surgeon did a great job getting all the cancer out. I needed the treatment because there were some “high-grade cancer cells left.” In addition to the cancer-free diagnosis, Braeden revealed that he’s waiting for results from a recent MRI which will determine whether the cancer might have spread elsewhere in the body. “And then I should be free for a while,” the actor shared. “Every so often, every few months, I’ll have another cystoscopy, all to find the damn thing early and to fight it. To hell with it.” For more on what Braeden had to say about his health status, watch his Facebook live video below or click here.

Correct. Just addressed that matter as you posted. Hope it helps!

The non-issue I see is complaints about someone posting too much. Not seeing your (not you @Vee) last comment on the latest page of a thread because others have since commented is a non-issue to me. Commenting in threads, even when one might be wrong about some of the things they are saying, is not spam and is also a non-issue to me. Real issues are people spamming the board -- real spam like I had to deal with a few weeks back. Registering multiple times, using a VPN or altering an IP address in any way is an issue to me. Threatening people publicly or via PM is an issue for me. Yelling and screaming at each other over a disagreement beyond real vs. reel is an issue for me. That said, since people say that they have a particular person on ignore, even though there is evidence proving otherwise, as I've seen in the last couple of pages of this thread alone, I have removed the community posts sidebar altogether. This way, ignored users will be officially unable to get their posts noticed by those who have them on ignore. Ironically, it benefits the boards in the long run as sidebar ads will now be shown more, at least to those who also aren't using ad blockers (which is a HUGE problem for this place, but that's another conversation).
