Oy! Disaster. Disaster. Disaster. Good luck, DAYS fans!

During the week of June 12-16, 2023, most daytime broadcast shows, with few exceptions, were preempted all or in part on Tuesday, June 13, due to ongoing news coverage surrounding former President Donald J. Trump, who has been charged with 37 felonies, including 31 counts under the Espionage Act of “willful retention” of classified records. News coverage included Trump’s arrival, arraignment and departure from a federal courthouse. For the week, “The Price is Right” (3.760 million / 4.344 million) once again led the charge among Total Viewers and topped the list in both Women 18-49 and Women 25-54 rating. The first half-hour was up week-to-week and the comparable weeks last year and in 2021 among Women 18-49 (0.5 vs. 0.4 rating). The second half-hour was also up week-to-week and the comparable week last year in Women 25-54 (0.8 vs. 0.7 rating), and it also managed to show increases across the board (week-to-week, last year and two years ago). Overall, the second half-hour was the week’s biggest gainer in both Women 18-49 and Women 25-54 rating, both compared to last week and the same week last year. “The Young and the Restless” (3.353 million) saw a week-to-week increase, gaining +109,000 viewers over last week, while also being up year-to-year (+80,000 viewers) and compared to the same week two years ago (+169,000 viewers). The series was also up week-to-week and the comparable week last year in Women 18-49 (0.4 vs 0.3 rating). For the fifth consecutive week, “NBC News Daily” (1.036 million) ranked last among Women 18-49 with an unpleasant 0.1 rating, placing it last among all daytime broadcast shows in the key sales demographic. Compared to the same week last year, the timeslot which was previously occupied by “Days of our Lives” performed much healthier, with a 0.2 rating in the demo. “NBC News Daily,” along with “General Hospital” (2.056 million) and “GMA3: What You Need to Know” (1.445 million), were the only daytime broadcast shows to see week-to-week decreases, despite Tuesday being excluded from their weekly averages. What follows is a breakdown of how the daytime broadcast shows performed during the week of June 12-16, 2023 in Women 18-49 Rating, Women 25-54 Rating, Households and Total Viewers, including a look at their comparable performance last year (2022) and two years ago (2021), respectively. A closer look at the daytime soaps, including their daily performance breakdown in the demos, will be posted Thursday.

As previously reported, Kym Douglas appears on the Thursday, June 22 episode of “The Young and the Restless” as Zelda Wilford, an agent working with Traci Abbott (Beth Maitland) on her latest book. In an interview featured in the latest issue of Soap Opera Digest, on newsstands now, Douglas, who is the real-life widow of the late Jerry Douglas (John Abbott), recounts her experience working on the set of the daytime drama series where her late husband worked for more than 30 years and what it meant to roam the same halls he did. Highlighting the difference between working on a soap compared to her previous work on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” and “Home and Family,” Douglas says, “I’m representing my late husband at his [TV] home that he was at for over 35 years. And I’m also showing our son, Hunter, his dad’s legacy and that his work will live on and he touched a lot of people and maybe even continues to do so through the character John Abbott, who [Co-Creator/Former Head Writer] Bill Bell so brilliantly created. And so this had a different level of intensity and integrity for me. It’s one thing to just be funny and make them laugh on ‘Ellen,’ but this was a whole different heartfelt [level] so I had extra pressure.” Even though Jerry Douglas’ character, John, died on screen in 2006, one thing is certain: the character will never be forgotten. So, according to Kym, the reason for that can be attributed to the fact that “John Abbott didn’t really falter in his views, in his love for his family and in his fairness to his fellow man. I want to tell you, Jerry had his faults and wasn’t perfect, but the way he raised Hunter and the kind of husband he was to me, he truly lived those principles — and I’m not making that up.” Michael Mealor, Allison Lanier, Jason Thompson, Kym Douglas, Peter Bergman, Eileen Davidson, Beth Maitland, Susan Walters (“The Young and the Restless”) Photo by Howard Wise/JPI Studios As for how she’s dealt with the loss of her husband of 36 years, Douglas reveals that up until recently, she hadn’t truly felt it, telling Digest, “I come from the school of ‘Pull yourself up by your bootstraps’ and that’s been kind of my motto in life.” She added, “When I got hit with Stage 3 breast cancer, I’d pop on the wig, go on ‘Ellen,’ be happy and show beauty tricks even though I had no eyebrows, no eyelashes and no hair. It’s, ‘Chin up, let’s go.’ My mother at 94 passed on, but the next day I gave a speech in front of 150 women. Since Jerry died, I realized that I just kind of pushed everything back and had not really experienced the real loss and pain. Going to ‘Y&R,’ I had to face that the man who was my shining star is gone, so I’m just starting to feel the grief for the first time. I finally gave myself that permission. In a tweet posted earlier this week, Douglas shared a behind-the-scenes photo of herself and real-life son Hunter from the set of “The Young and the Restless,” where she stated, “Join my Son Hunter and o on Thursday, June 22 nd for a very special episode honoring my late husband and Hunters Dad Jerry Douglas on The Young and the Restless on @cbs.” Check out the photo below. Note: In her interview with Soap Opera Digest, Douglas refers to her “Y&R” character as “Zelda Winston,” however, Soap Opera Network has re-confirmed with a representative from the show that the character’s name is “Zelda Wilford.” Additionally, despite other outlets reporting otherwise, Hunter does not appear in the episode.

You'd think... B&B and Y&R now remain the only shows with in-house PR and assistance from a third party and partial CBS direct. GH has in-house PR, technically. Their PR person is part-time. I didn't say they (Peacock) were angry about it. Just that they aren't interested in handling the show's daily PR needs and that they don't agree with the decision made by the show.

I sent a lengthy email asking for further information on this to TPTB in response to the one I received about it. I haven't heard back yet. Either what I said will generate a response, or I'll be banned from covering the show; only time will tell. All I know is no one I've spoken to thought it was a good idea/plan, and they've voiced their opinions on the matter already. Will any of it have an impact? So far, I can't say it will. The person now set to oversee PR responsibilities on Monday already has a full-time job at the show, and Peacock has refused to handle PR for the show; they were also against this decision, it would appear. It's a mess!

It’s June 21, and that means summer is officially here. To help celebrate, Lauralee Bell, who plays Christine Blair on “The Young and the Restless,” gathered several of her classmates to help kick off the season in a video posted to Instagram set to music by Katrina & The Waves song “Walking on Sunshine.” Those featured in the video include Joshua Morrow (Nick), Eric Braeden (Victor), Sharon Case (Sharon), Michael Graziadei (Daniel), Conner Floyd (Chance), Michelle Stafford (Phyllis), Tracey E. Bergman (Lauren), Allison Lanier (Summer), Kate Linder (Esther), Sean Dominic (Nate), Melissa Claire Egan (Chelsea), Zuleyka Silver (Audra), Trevor St. John (Tucker), Eileen Davidson (Ashley), Michael Mealor (Kyle), Susan Walters (Diane) and Mark Grossman (Adam), among others. “The Young and the Restless” (50th Anniversary Cast Photo) Photo by Sonja Flemming/CBS Hoping to dispel any worries about why some of the show’s talent did not appear in the video, Bell noted, “We’re so grateful for the best fans around and wishing you a wonderful summer ahead!” She added, “As always if you don’t see everybody in the video it’s only because they weren’t in on the day we made it but more to come whenever we have a chance! Hope it adds some sunshine to your day!!” In addition to beach towels and umbrellas, one of which is hypnotizing, literally, the video ends with the words, “We love our fans.” Watch the video below.

Early Tuesday morning, the Twitter account belonging to Nancy Lee Grahn (Alexis Davis, “General Hospital”) was hacked and began posting racist and anti-government rhetoric. Along with updating the profile image to something resembling a shirtless and buffed-up Donald Trump with pro-Trump postings, the hacker also changed Grahn’s profile description, which read, “If Trump has a million fans, then I am one of them. If Trump has ten fans, then I am one of them. If Trump has only one fan then that is me.” Without question, it was obvious the posts didn’t come from the actress. The hack reportedly occurred at around 4:00 a.m. PDT on Tuesday, June 20, with the hacker’s first tweet stating, “the @FBI is after me, they deleted my pinned tweet and are currently investigating me… im scared for my life, someone please help me, i don’t know what todo!” That tweet received over 37,000 views at the time a screengrab was pulled by Soap Opera Network earlier today. Another tweet, claiming Grahn had quit “General Hospital,” also received a significant amount of views. It stated, “no longer apart of @GeneralHospital. im sorry to all the fans this may upset, but i feel like its time to move onto bigger and better things – nancy.” In a later tweet, the hacker used the N-word to indicate they are back posting after attempting to assure fans they were Grahn, who had seemingly just gotten the account back, while blaming Twitter user @WubsNet for the hack itself. “hey everyone! I’m sorry about all the tweets from earlier, my account was hacked by @WubsNet and i just got it back. Deleting the tweets now, but it may take awhile,” the tweet read just before the N-word tweet was posted by the hacker. A tweet published at 6:05 p.m. EDT seems to indicate that Grahn has regained access to her Twitter account (@NancyLeeGrahn). In the post, Grahn says, “Hi friends, regrettably & quite obviously my account was recently hacked & I sincerely apologize for any harmful rhetoric that was shared without my consent.” At press time, the real Grahn’s tweet has been viewed just over 15,000 times. Additionally, the profile image for the account has returned to one resembling Grahn, and the racist, anti-government and pro-Trump tweets have since been deleted. In response to the real Grahn’s tweet on regaining her account, Twitter user @Rb33399 said, “I thought you were leaving GH and I was very upset.” Grahn responded to the tweet, saying, “I would never do that to you… or me.” Yvette Nicole Brown, who appeared on “General Hospital” as a Nurse to help celebrate the life of her real-life friend, the late Sonya Eddy (Epiphany Johnson), helped lead the charge in fans informing Twitter of Grahn’s hacked account so that the actress could get her account back. In a tweet, Brown said, “Dear @GeneralHospital and fans of Nancy Lee Grahn, please report her page as hacked. No tweets originating from her page right now are actually from her. Please help her get control back. And yes I know with the current ownership this hacking may be by design.” Welcome back, Nancy and thank you, Yvette!

Get ready for a paranormal experience when actor Daniel Hall (ex-Scott Grainger, “The Young and the Restless”) appears in the new film “Oblivious,” which follows a couple struggling to accept the return of a terminal illness. When Claire (Vanessa Lauren Gamble) is informed that cancer has returned after 15 years, she and her husband, Collin (Robert Michael), return to her family’s cabin for a weekend of solitude before beginning her treatment. While at the cabin, paranormal forces help guide them to find peace within their terrifying reality. Of course, when Claire’s fear leads her down an unfortunate path, poor judgment leads to an even more terrifying outcome. Hall appears as Collins’s best friend, Johnny, who attempts to comfort his friend as he tries to find peace with what is happening. “Daniel is pure magic, he easily combines the warm and cool tones of his character and provides much needed sensitivity to Collin,” says the film’s executive producer Diana Maiocco in a statement shared with Soap Opera Network. “There was no other actor that could have created the working chemistry as Daniel Hall. His relaxed, laid back, warm demeanor was essential to this film and we are so honored to have him join us! I believe his time on ‘The Young and the Restless’ really helped because the demands of a soap actor are GREAT. He is a wonderful actor, well trained, and a blessing to our TV movie.” Following its premiere on local station KVVB out of Los Angeles on Monday, July 20 at 7:00 p.m. PDT, the film will have a limited theatrical release and will be available on streaming soon after. “Oblivious” also stars Naomi Grossman and Nikki Blonsky. Executive producers are Diana Maiocco, Hayden Conner Ashworth, Nicole Gordon-Levitt, Andy O’Riley and Robert Michael. Watch the film’s trailer below.

While in Monaco this weekend to promote “The Young and the Restless” and its 50th anniversary celebration during the annual Monte-Carlo Television Festival, Christel Khalil (Lily Winters) revealed that she is pregnant with her second child, her first with partner Sam Restagno — Khalil has a son, Michael Caden, from a previous relationship. “That’s a wrap on Monaco! Thank you @festivaltvmonte_carlo for a great trip! Loved being there with this A team,” said Khalil in a post on Instagram, referring to co-stars Byrton James (Devon Hamilton), Melody Thomas Scott (Nikki Newman) and Amelia Heinle (Victoria Newman), who were also in attendance. “Lots of laughs, blisters on our feet, and ate enough croissants to supply a bakery. See you next time.” In her post, Khalil shared a video montage highlighting her Monaco experience from the red carpet, the hotel, fan engagement, the food, tourism, and all the fun she and her co-stars had while in the beautiful city. The clip also shows Khalil posing with her hand under her baby bump. Restagno joined Khalil on the trip. Christel Khailil, Sam Restagno Photo by Nick Sined/JPI Studios Photo by Nick Sined/JPI Studios Khalil’s post has since amassed more than 40,000 views since it was posted earlier today.

In a heartfelt post on Father’s Day, “The Bold and the Beautiful” star Annika Noelle (Hope Logan) announced that she and her fiancé, who she has never named, have parted ways. “Happy Father’s Day ~ while we never got our chance to hold our rainbow, for a brief moment in time we held each other,” Noelle said on Instagram. “And even though we could no longer bear the weight of the losses, you have left a lasting imprint on my heart. Thank you.” She ended her post using the “white heart” emoji, referencing love and affection. Noelle’s post has received nearly 7,000 likes and over 300 comments since it was posted, including one from Courtney Hope (Sally Spectra, “The Young and the Restless”) and “B&B” co-star Jennifer Gareis (Donna Logan). “So much love,” said Hope, using two “heart” emojis. “You will get your rainbow one day!!!” responded Gareis, using three “heart” emojis. In October 2021, Noelle published a deeply personal and emotional story about the time she and her fiancé were told they had lost their second child in a matter of months. Her recounting of how she felt and how she was able to cope is detailed in an essay she posted on Glamour magazine’s website. In the post, Noelle says, “I was told the chances of us experiencing another pregnancy loss were slim to none, but sadly, our second attempt unraveled into sorrow and heartache as well,” Noelle reveals. “We lost him at eight weeks. And all the while, I was filming.” “Nobody knew. I came up with excuses for why I couldn’t wear white pants or felt nauseous on set,” Noelle explains. “Fans and news articles speculated whether I was pregnant or just gained weight during quarantine. And once again the storyline called for ceaseless tears when I felt like I had no more to give. I guess looking back at it now, I was scared to jinx anything. I didn’t want people to know and have things not work out. And yet I wish I had because I would have given anything to have the understanding and support of the cast and crew. I felt so alone.” To read more about what Noelle has to say, and how she was able to handle the pressure of keeping her secret a secret for as long as she did, make sure to read the full essay here. Soap Opera Digest first reported the split. Note: The post ‘The Bold and the Beautiful’ Star Annika Noelle Announces Split from Fiancé appeared first on the Soap Opera Network website. Read More

Cody Longo, a rising Hollywood actor who made a name for himself playing Eddie Duran in the Nick at Nite original series “Hollywood Heights,” died earlier this year in what was at the time presumed by family to be the result of his continued alcohol use. Four months later, a medical examiner has officially ruled the former “Days of our Lives” actor died of hard drinking, reports TMZ. According to the outlet which obtained Longo’s autopsy report, Longo’s cause of death was “chronic ethanol abuse,” and his manner of death was natural. Further, TMZ says, the late actor’s “body was decomposing when he was found dead … and the death scene was littered with alcohol bottles.” In February, the 34-year-old was found dead in bed by police at his residence in Austin, Texas after his wife, Stephanie, called in a welfare check. When they couldn’t get a response, police kicked down the door and later found the actor in his bedroom. Crystal Chappell, Cody Longo (“Days of our Lives”) Photo by Paul Skipper/JPI Studios In 2011, Longo joined the cast of “Days of our Lives” as Nicholas Alamain, the son of Carly Manning (Crystal Chappell) and Lawrence Alamain (Michael Sabatino). He appeared on the series for just about a month before his character was written out following a writing regime change.

Besides “Days of our Lives,” his most memorable roles were as Eddie Duran on “Hollywood Heights” across 78 episodes in 2012 and his run as Nicky Russo in the ABC Family series “Make It or Break It.” “He was an amazing father and the best husband. Our whole world is shattered,” said Longo’s wife of her late husband in a statement provided to TMZ at the time of his death.

Re-reading the sentence, it actually does say everything ends on June 26. "On Monday, we say "Arrivederci, Roma!'"..., referring to Monday, June 26, but nothing about Bocelli. Now people have pointed out that Bocelli's episode appears from a set, and that's true. One thing I don't know just yet (at this moment) is if he filmed his scenes in Los Angeles or Italy. There are still Rome episodes featured after the remote locations stop airing, btw. They are just filmed on the L.A. set of the show.

According to the original PEOPLE article and what I've received from CBS, everything indicates June 26. That doesn't mean he can't appear for like 2 seconds on Friday, but they are promoting his appearance as June 26. The only exception appears to be in this promo.

On Friday, Soap Opera Network and Deadline published extensive articles about the ongoing WGA strike and how soap opera actors will continue working on their respective shows even with a potential Actors strike looming. In response to Deadline’s piece, “General Hospital” star Nancy Lee Grahn (Alexis Davis) pointed out on Twitter that even though she has some issues with the dueling SAG-AFTRA contracts (TV/Theatrical vs. Network Television Code), she fully supports the WGA strike and voted to authorize a SAG-AFTRA strike should there be one. “I’ve been a member of SAG & Aftra, now SAG/Aftra since 1976. I fully support WGA strike & voted to authorize a SAG/AFTRA strike,” said Grahn over a series of tweets. “It pained me to cross a picket line on Wed. I pulled over & explained that I work under Netcode (a contract I’ve many issues with but must abide by). “We’re required to work regardless of actor strike or be in breach of contract. Daytime actors pay top tier dues (as much as say Ted Lasso cast & Succession cast.) who make infinitely more than us & yet most of us voted to strike due fairness to the greater good & because we believe in Unions. We believe with some exceptions in ours. We believe that what the writers and actors are asking for is correct and just. I stand by the WGA & SAG AFTRA in these current negotiations. And everyday I must go to work, I know that thousands of others cannot while they sacrifice their collective livings for what is right and just. I will continue to post on their behalf & walk with them, because short of that right now, it’s all that I know to do.” The current TV/Theatrical Contract concludes on June 30 and should a deal not be met, SAG-AFTRA has been authorized by its members to strike, effective July 1. The National Code of Fair Practice for Network Television Broadcasting, also known as the Network Television Code covers morning news shows, talk shows, serials (soap operas), variety, reality, game shows, sports and promotional announcements, including such programs as “Good Morning America,” “Tamron Hall,” “The Young and the Restless,” “Jeopardy,” “Saturday Night Live,” “The Voice,” “So You Think You Can Dance,” “Last Week Tonight with John Oliver,” the Academy Awards and the Super Bowl, among a host of others. The current contract was signed in 2022 (retroactive to July 1, 2021) contract runs through July 2024. Highlights from the contract include: General wage increases of 3% per year retroactive to July 1, 2021, applicable to most rates. A 1% benefit fund contribution rate increase split 60% to the SAG-AFTRA Health Plan and 40% to the AFTRA Retirement Fund. For primetime award shows and entertainment specials, producers are now required to provide transportation to and lodging at broadcast centers in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago and Washington, D.C., which are presently exceptions to transportation and lodging obligations for all types of programming. Required lodging or transportation when exhaustion or inclement weather prevent safe driving. Greatly improved nudity and simulated sex provisions that match the achievements made in the 2020 TV/Theatrical Contracts negotiation. Substantial increases for dancers on primetime variety shows and award shows in the extra rehearsal rate (from $30 to $40) and overtime rates (from $45 for primetime variety and $48 for award show rehearsal days to $55 for both), including a new $70 overtime rate for hours in excess of 12 in a day. Notice of authorized rehearsals required to be given to dancers to enable dancers and the union to surface and resolve disputes over whether rehearsals are covered. Singers now receive doubling pay at 50% of the applicable dancer program fee when required to learn “complex choreography.” Where there are more than two weeks of rehearsal for an award show or primetime entertainment special, rehearsal pay is due biweekly instead of after show day. First-ever requirement to pay scale — set at the same as traditional media scale — for promotional announcements made for new media with an additional 15% due for use beyond 13 weeks. First-ever requirement of additional compensation — set at 15% of minimum fee — for reuse beyond 13 weeks of a traditional media promotional announcement reused in new media. Automatic $14 additional compensation for background actors and stand-ins required to work in artificially generated rain or smoke (excluding herbal cigarettes) when not able to wear appropriate swim, surf or snow gear. Stand-in minimum calls significantly increased. According to SAG-AFTRA, the Network Television Code generates more than $200 million a year in covered member earnings and includes programming in nearly all non-primetime and all non-dramatic primetime television, as well as digital media. In response to Grahn’s tweets, user Twitter user @mulligan_steph said, “Thanks for your words of solidarity. I’m a member of Actors Equity, and of IATSE. It would pain me to cross a line, too. Keep raising your voice! Every union voice matters.” User @OrdinaryfoolNJ commented, “AFT1521 stands with the WGA fight!! Our members have walked at Sony in solidarity with the WGA. Whether you can participate or not, glad you’re on the side of unions.” Grahn’s tweets received just under 85,000 combined views at press time.

On Monday, June 19, “Days of our Lives” will once again celebrate Juneteenth, the newest federally observed holiday that celebrates the end of slavery, when on June 19, 1865, Major General Gordon Granger announced General Order No. 3, which stated that in accordance with the Emancipation Proclamation, “all slaves are free.” Photo by Jill Johnson/JPI Studios In addition to the holiday celebration, the episode will also mark the one-year wedding anniversary of Abe (James Reynolds) and Paulina Carver (Jackée Harry). Returning for the episode are Lamon Archey (Eli Grant), Cameron Johnson (Theo Carver) and Marla Gibbs (Olivia Price) – Archey and Johnson will have extended stays in Salem as Eli and Theo work on locating Abe, who was recently kidnapped by Nurse Whitley (Kim Coles). Eli will also reunite with his other family, including grandmother Julie Williams (Susan Seaforth Hayes). Jackée Harry, Cameron Johnson (“Days of our Lives”) Photo by XJJohnson/JPI Studios Photo by XJJohnson/JPI Studios In an interview featured in the latest issue of Soap Opera Digest, on newsstands now, Reynolds reveals that Abe is aware he got married on Juneteenth, based on a conversation he had with Chanel (Raven Bowens) while he was in the hospital, but his memory overall is completely blank, even though Nurse Whitley does reveal to him that he has a son and daughter. “It might sound fantastic to him, but, on the other hand, he’s got to fill in the holes and these might be the answers,” says Reynolds. “He just doesn’t know. So he not only has to take what’s presented to him, but also assume it’s fact. He’s not thinking he’s being lied to or something’s off about this, because he has nothing to compare it to.” After having flashes of his wedding day, Abe later accuses Whitley of not being his wife. “Abe starts having little flashbacks and feelings, but he’s not sure if they’re true memories or not,” shares Reynolds. “What he does know is that his wife looks different in these flashbacks, that it’s not her. Also, some of the things she’s saying to him slide in the face of what is current reality. If he’s the mayor, then why are they living in this rathole?” Kim Coles, James Reynolds (“Days of our Lives”) Photo by XJJohnson/JPI Studios Obviously, Whitley has excuses for everything, even when Abe demands to see photos from their wedding day. Whitley claims the album got lost, and when Abe doesn’t buy it, Whitley finds a photo of Abe and Paulina’s wedding day online and photoshops her face over Paulina’s, finally giving Abe enough evidence to believe her lies which leaves him wanting to make things up to her by agreeing to renew “their wedding vows.” Since Whitley is the only person Abe knows at this time, Reynolds says, “Why not cooperate in this meaningless exercise?” He adds, “And Abe is also hoping [by participating] it might make something come back to him. There’s nothing familiar about this woman and this relationship.” Watch a promo for this week’s episodes below.

What's odd is that Bocelli isn't appearing until the Monday, June 26 episode, so why promote him in the promo? Unless the Friday episode features him, even if slightly? Just weird to me.
