ARTICLE: FIRST LOOK: ‘General Hospital’ Vs. ‘The Young And The Restless’ On ‘Celebrity Family Feud’ (VIDEO)
ABC has released sneak peek clips of the cast of “General Hospital” vs. the cast of “The Young and the Restless” appearing on the Thursday, July 31 episode of “Celebrity Family Feud,” airing at 8:30 p.m. ET/PT, immediately following another episode of the game featuring music producer Diplo going head-to-head with actress Laverne Cox. The first clip sees “General Hospital” star Donnell Turner (Curtis Ashford) take on “The Young and the Restless” actress Michelle Stafford (Phyllis Summers) as they are asked, “Name something your mate’s booty has in common with a basketball. Turner was the quickest to respond, proclaiming, “It’s round,” which was the top answer from those surveyed. Earlier in the clip, Turner and Michelle could be seen hugging, a gesture likely from when they worked together on “General Hospital,” where Stafford had played Nina Reeves from 2014-2019. Donnell Turner vs. Michelle Stafford / Celebrity Family Feud With Turner indicating his team would play the round, things eventually circled back to him in another clip as his second answer to the basketball question was, “You play with it, Steve!” To find out if that answer was correct, you’ll just have to tune in. Donnell Turner / Celebrity Family Feud In another round, the team at “The Young and the Restless” takes the challenge with the question, “Name an occupation in which someone with a baby face might have a hard time.” Lauralee Bell (Christine Blair), who played opposite “General Hospital” star Rena Sofer (Lois Cerullo), was the first to respond with the top answer of a cop/police officer. Lauralee Bell vs. Rena Sofer / Celebrity Family Feud Joining Donnell Turner and Rena Sofer on the “General Hospital” team were Tanisha Harper (Jordan Ashford), Maurice Benard (Sonny Corinthos), and team captain Finola Hughes (Anna Devane), playing for their charity, The Nature Conservancy. In addition to Michelle Stafford and Lauralee Bell, “The Young and the Restless” team also included Bryton James (Devon Winters), Melissa Claire Egan (Chelsea Lawson) and Joshua Morrow (Nicholas Newman), playing for Entertainment Community Fund’s Southern California Wildfires Fund. Bell was the team captain.

Disney “Thank you @iamsteveharveytv and the whole ‘Celebrity Family Feud’ team for making us feel so welcome in Atlanta!” said Lauralee Bell in the caption of a post she made on Instagram, sharing a behind-the-scenes compilation video from her experience taping the episode. “Love our #YR family and we couldn’t have done it without our own @mattykane1. Extra fun hanging with our friends at #GH.” In response to Bell’s post, the official account of the game show said, “Let’s do it!” “We were definitely feuding,” joked Finola Hughes during an appearance on “Live with Kelly and Mark” in May, which was taped not too long after she returned from the Atlanta studio where the game show is taped. Finola Hughes, Kelly Ripa, Mark Consuelos Lorenzo Bevilaqua/Disney “I was the captain! Well, that means that you go up first and I realized that the little buzzer was a little high. So, when everyone was sort of busy doing other things, I went over and I was practicing with the buzzer, so that I could be fast. But I was practicing at home with Sadie and Cash!” she added, referencing her daughter and son, who thought she would be awful at the game. “We don’t have a buzzer on our counter in the kitchen, every time I would do it, I kept going ‘Bzzz, bzzz!’ You know, and Cash was like, ‘You know you can’t do that when you come on the show?” In a promo for the upcoming episode, Steve Harvey asks the question, “Name something your mate’s booty has in common with the basketball.” Rena Sofer said, “It bounces,” while Maurice Benard stated, “Air comes out?” Check out a promo for the episode below.

ARTICLE: Al Calderon Joins ‘Brilliant Minds’ As Series Regular For Season 2; Find Out What The Future Holds For His ‘Days Of Our Lives’ Character
Technically, Deadline's "sources" are saying they are recasting the role, so the show didn't necessarily tell the outlet anything different from what I previously reported. Haha.

ARTICLE: Al Calderon Exits ‘Days Of Our Lives’; Soap Plans To Recast Javi Hernandez Character
With Al Calderon being cast as a series regular on “Brilliant Minds,” it looks like “Days of our Lives” will indeed be recasting the role of Javi Hernandez. Although a spokesperson for the daytime drama series told Soap Opera Network, “We do not comment on the contract status of our actors, but fans should not worry, ‘Javi’ is alive and well in Salem,” following news of Calderon joining the NBC primetime medical drama, Deadline reported on Wednesday that the soap opera is seeking to recast his role. According to the outlet, Calderon has been busy taping new episodes of “Days of our Lives,” which are slated to air in May 2026. Calderon first appeared in Salem in October 2024, though he began taping episodes at the soap opera in February 2024, a result of the soap’s advanced tape-to-air schedule. Inspired by the extraordinary life and work of world-famous author and physician Oliver Sacks, “Brilliant Minds” follows Dr. Oliver Wolf (Zachary Quinto), a revolutionary, larger-than-life neurologist and his team of interns as they explore the last great frontier – the human mind – while grappling with their own relationships and mental health. Calderon will portray Nurse Silva on the series, who is described as the Mayor of Bronx General. With his ability to run the hospital while looking good doing it, his warm, funny and outgoing charm may or may not be the reason why he knows everything about everyone at work. In addition to Calderon, new cast members joining the show during Season 2 include Brian Altemus and John Clarence Stewart, with the former playing Dr. Charlie Porter, the new neurology resident who is guarded, competitive and hiding something from his fellow doctors. Meanwhile, Stewart will play Dr. Anthony Thorne, a mid-career ER doctor who’s grown a little too comfortable with the maxim that emergency medicine is blue-collar work. The series cast also includes Tamberla Perry as Dr. Carol Pierce, Ashleigh LaThrop as Ericka Kinney, Alex MacNicoll as Dr. Van Markus, Aury Krebs, Spence Moore II as Jacob Nash, Teddy Sears as Dr. Josh Nichols (“One Life to Live”) and Donna Murphy as Dr. Muriel Landon. Bellamy Young (“Scandal”) recently signed on as a recurring guest star. “Brilliant Minds” was created by Michael Grassi, who also serves as writer and executive producer. Greg Berlanti, Sarah Schechter, Leigh London Redman, Lee Toland Krieger, DeMane Davis, Melissa Aouate, Henrik Bastin, Jonathan Cavendish, Andy Serkis and Shefali Malhoutra also executive produce. Berlanti Productions, Fabel Entertainment, The Imaginarium, Grassi Productions and Tavala produce in association with Warner Bros. Television and Universal Television, a division of Universal Studio Group. Season 2 of the medical drama premieres Monday, September 22 at 10:00 p.m. ET/PT, following “The Voice.” Note: The post Al Calderon Exits ‘Days Of Our Lives’; Soap Plans To Recast Javi Hernandez Character appeared first on the Soap Opera Network website.

“Days of our Lives” star Al Calderon has joined the cast of NBC’s “Brilliant Minds” as a series regular for the upcoming second season of the medical drama series, which premieres Monday, September 22 at 10:00 p.m. ET/PT, following “The Voice.” Inspired by the extraordinary life and work of world-famous author and physician Oliver Sacks, the series follows Dr. Oliver Wolf (Zachary Quinto), a revolutionary, larger-than-life neurologist and his team of interns as they explore the last great frontier – the human mind – while grappling with their own relationships and mental health. Calderon is set to portray the role of Nurse Silva, who is described as the Mayor of Bronx General. With his ability to run the hospital while looking good doing it, his warm, funny and outgoing charm may or may not be the reason why he knows everything about everyone at work. "Hold up, lemme get my scrubs on right quick," said Calderon in the caption of a post he made on Instagram. "Big thanks to my crew, my village, my gang literally couldn’t do this without my right hand @mattgogal @culturedartists. My sweet sweet agent @juliemfulop @akatalent. Extra extra special thanks to @davidrapaport and @nbc for rocking with the kid."

Bellamy Young (“Scandal”) recently signed on as a recurring guest star. According to Deadline, which first reported the news of Calderon’s casting, the bilingual actor, singer and dancer is “coming off a contract role on ‘Days of our Lives,” which seems to indicate that the actor will be exiting the daytime drama series in the coming months, though a spokesperson for the soap opera tells Soap Opera Network, “We do not comment on the contract status of our actors, but fans should not worry, ‘Javi’ is alive and well in Salem.” “Brilliant Minds” was created by Michael Grassi, who also serves as writer and executive producer.

I could be wrong, but the "hot male" they are referring to sounds like Bryton James. The interview also looks like it was conducted in the last two weeks, more likely within days after I reported the Ron Carlivati (not Frank Carlivati as the article states) news. I note that because I also tweeted about the 100th episode and when it would air before the Ron news, and I know Deadline peeps follow me on there.

In the latest episode of “Soapy Hosted by Rebecca Budig and Greg Rikaart,” Lauralee Bell from “The Young and the Restless” discusses how she landed the role of ingenue Christine Blair on the daytime drama series created by her parents, the late William J. Bell and Lee Phillip Bell. “This was never an intention for my family,” says Bell of her joining the show’s cast in an exclusive clip obtained by Soap Opera Network. “My mom wanted me to be a Northwestern Tridelt and go to school. We were living in Chicago, so we were very separated from this … I was a fan, so I would watch, and [my father] would be like, ‘One day you should come and really kind of get a sense of what this is all about.’ I first did an extra part on an airplane with David Hasselhoff [Snapper Foster], and after it was over, I was like, ‘That was so easy!’ and he was like, ‘No, wrong idea. You didn’t get the message.’” When asked by Rikaart to expand on that, Bell noted that her father pointed out that her saying the work was so easy is incorrect, particularly as work on the set of the series is constantly in progress, with sets being built, among other moving parts, while she was “sleeping.” Agreeing that the work was indeed hard, Bell explained she “had to sit there and buckle my seatbelt,” a metaphor of sorts to her scene with Hasselhoff, where she was on the plane with the actor who went on to star as Mitch Buchannon on “Baywatch.” “A few years later, Jabot Cosmetics was coming out with a junior line, and so I was going to be on for just two days,” continued Bell. “The thing that really helped me out was there were no young people on soaps. People that were on soaps were 25 playing 13. So, my part continued for two reasons: one, because I said after the first two days, ‘If I take acting lessons and tap … I’ll do anything. Can I be on for two more days?’ It was that, and then we also very nicely got some fan mail saying, ‘I watch with my grandkids or my kids, and they are always running around.” Revealing that the fan mail received indicated that the younger generation went from playing around the house while their mothers and grandmothers were watching the stories, to sitting around to watch with them, which is what eventually led to the casting of both Tricia Cast as Nina Webster and Thom Bierdz as Phillip Chancellor, in what would become the staple for summer storylines on daytime soap operas.

With the show’s debut episode featuring a cameo appearance by “The Real Housewives of Potomac” star Karen Huger, “Beyond the Gates” will see other stars from the hit Bravo reality series following in her footsteps, at least from an acting perspective. During an appearance on the Friday, July 25 broadcast of WKRC Local 12 News, Daphnée Duplaix, who portrays Dr. Nicole Dupree Richardson, announced Wendy Osefo and Gizelle Bryant are set to appear later this fall on the CBS daytime drama series. Daphnée Duplaix Michele Crowe/CBS “It’s going to be great because it brings authenticity to the setting of Fairmont Crest, and so I think it’s going to be fun for the fans. And that’s going to be in the fall, so it’s not too far away,” said Duplaix to news anchor Aleah Hordges, who is the real-life sister of actor Jibre Hordges, who plays Jacob Hawthorne on the soap opera. Duplaix was joined by her “Beyond the Gates” co-stars Keith D. Robertson (Dr. Ted Richardson) and Colby Muhammad (Katherine “Kat” Richardson) as they were in town for the Cincinnati Music Festival and a panel discussion presented by Procter & Gamble, which co-produces the show alongside CBS Studios and the NAACP. There were no additional details available at press time on Osefo and Bryant’s upcoming appearance on the series. While appearing in the April 27, 2025 episode of “Watch What Happens Live,” Bryant spoke with host Andy Cohen, sharing an update on Huger, who is currently serving a one-year prison sentence after she was found guilty of multiple charges including DUI and DWI stemming from a March 2024 single-car accident in Maryland, saying she is “running” things. “I have been in contact with someone who is very close to her about her safety and all that,” Bryant said to Cohen. “And from what I understand, they love her up in where she is right now. They absolutely love her. They are loving the Grande Dame. You know she is running that thing.” She added, “I feel very good about the fact that she’s safe.” Watch the full conversation with the “Beyond the Gates” stars below.

After a four-year run as Phillip “Chance” Chancellor IV on “The Young and the Restless,” actor Conner Floyd saw his character killed off in dramatic fashion during the Monday, July 28 episode of the long-running drama series. In story, while still at the chateau, Chance swooped in to save both Cane Ashby (Billy Flynn) and Lily Winters (Christel Khalil), whose lives were in danger after it was revealed that Carter (Vincent Stalba) had killed Damian. In an attempt to escape punishment for his crime, he took Lily hostage, but when things reached their breaking point, he let her go, only to fire his gun with a bullet striking Chance directly in his chest. During Chance’s final moments, he died in Cane’s arms, a poignant plot point, both from a story perspective and also a real-life one as, at one time, Cane (then played by Daniel Goddard) assumed the identity of Chance’s father, Phillip Chancellor (Thom Bierdz), to scam Jill (Jess Walton), Chance’s grandmother, out of her money. Secondly, it was announced last month that Floyd had assumed the role of Chad DiMera on “Days of our Lives,” a character previously portrayed by Billy Flynn, though Flynn continues to appear on both soaps due to the advanced tape-to-air schedule followed by the latter series. On-screen, Flynn will conclude his run in Salem in early 2026, while Floyd will assume the role beginning with the Tuesday, April 21, 2026 episode. “Days of our Lives” was recently renewed for a 62nd and 63rd season at Peacock. In an interview with TV Insider, Floyd shared with the outlet that his character died the way he would have wanted to go out, specifically as a hero. “That’s his story that he’s always been telling — that he’s a hero — and the ultimate person to put everybody else above himself, so I think it’s a little poetic in a way. And then the way I died in Billy Flynn’s arms is also very poetic.” Interestingly, Floyd thinks “The Young and the Restless” head writer Josh Griffith purposely had Chance die in Cane’s arms as a nod to what the future held for the actor. Conner Floyd, Billy Flynn CBS While he’s sad to see his time in Genoa City come to an end, particularly as his character was one of the last remaining remnants of the iconic Chancellor family, Floyd has great things to say about his experience, including his chance to work with such greats as Eric Braeden (Victor Newman), Peter Bergman (Jack Abbott) and Melody Thomas Scott (Nikki Newman), just to name a few, saying, “I know my grandmothers are rolling over in their graves right now. I wish they could have been here to get a little piece of that, but it’s really cool just to be a part of the soap world. It’s a unique place for an artist, and I feel like I came out of this a little better of an actor than when I started.” Calling Chance’s death “bittersweet,” Floyd is thankful that he already had another job lined up at the time when he found out where the storyline was going, sharing, “I had another job on the horizon, and so it’s like, ‘Oh, OK, I’m not going to be unemployed,’ but it is sad to say goodbye to Chance and to everyone over there at ‘Y&R,’ so it’s a little bit of mixed emotions. I feel happy, I feel sad, it kind of depends on the day.” While closing out his time at the Television City studio where “The Young and the Restless” is taped, he recalled that his last day hit him more than expected, revealing that while he is a “crier,” he tried his best not to succumb to tears, but ultimately failed. “I remember talking to Billy Flynn, and he was like, ‘No, I bet you cry. I cried when I left [‘DAYS’].’ I was like, ‘Yeah, we’ll see, man.’ We had this last scene, and everyone was clapping, and I was saying goodbye to everyone and walking out, and I cried like a baby. I’m not going to lie,” said Floyd. “There were a couple of us that got together and hung out afterwards, and I was still fighting tears there. But there are good things on the horizon, so I was OK.” Note: The post Conner Floyd Exits ‘The Young And The Restless’ As Legacy Character He Portrayed Is Killed Off Soap Opera appeared first on the Soap Opera Network website.

Although a specific air date had not been announced at press time, a newly released promo for “Beyond the Gates” reveals that actor Bryton James will be taking his character from “The Young and the Restless” from Genoa City to Fairmont Crest, at least temporarily. “Articulette’s concert, more Dani drama (obvs), and a Devon Winters sighting in Fairmont Crest?!!!!!!!! This looks like a WEEK, y’all!” teased “Beyond the Gates” star Karla Mosley (Dani Dupree), who shared the promo on Instagram, noting James would likely be appearing as Devon during this week’s episodes of the series. In the promo, James can be seen entering the dining area of the Fairmont Crest Country Club, preparing to shake hands with Vernon Dupree (Clifton Davis) as Anita Dupree (Tamara Tunie) says to him, “Devon, Welcome to Fairmont Crest!” In a separate promo released last week, it was revealed that the Articulette’s would be performing for the first time together in decades. With Devon having experience as a music promoter, it makes sense that he would be there to help promote the concert. In story, the Articulette’s, composed of Anita (Tunie), Sharon (Bonita Brisker) and Tracy (Maria Howell), were a Chicago-based girl group from the ’70s that disbanded over misunderstandings and animosity between its members. In recent months, the group reunited and came to an understanding of what happened in the past. To right some wrongs, they agreed that a reunion performance was something they should consider, and in recent weeks, they’ve been preparing for their big night. With James’ appearance, this marks the first-ever crossover to take place between “Beyond the Gates” and one of its CBS soap siblings, and confirms that the three CBS soaps (including “The Bold and the Beautiful”) likely exist in the same universe, something fans had long wondered since the early days of development for the new daytime soap. Check out both promos below.

During its one-day video conference plenary on Saturday, the SAG-AFTRA National Board announced that it has overwhelmingly voted to approve the tentative agreement the union, which represents professional actors, reached earlier this month with the major broadcast networks and other producers for the 2025 Network Television Code of Fair Practice for Network Television Broadcasting (Network Television Code). The agreement, which covers work on a wide range of live and recorded programs including soap operas, talk shows, variety shows, award shows and sports, will now be sent to the membership for ratification. Current programs covered by the contract include “Good Morning America,” “The Price is Right,” “The Young and the Restless,” “Beyond the Gates,” “Jeopardy!” “Saturday Night Live,” “The Voice,” “Dancing With the Stars,” “Last Week Tonight With John Oliver,” “General Hospital,” “Days of our Lives,” “The Bold and the Beautiful,” the Academy Awards and the Super Bowl, among others. According to SAG-AFTRA, key gains in the agreement include a 1 percentage point increase in the benefit plan contribution rate and a reallocation of existing contributions, which together will effectively raise the AFTRA Retirement Fund contribution rate by 3.3 percentage points, adding needed resources to the Fund. The agreement would also provide a general wage increase of 3.5% in year one, 3% in year two, and 3% in year three, marking a compounded increase of 9.8% over the term, with additional targeted increases in specific performer categories. Wage increases are subject to a possible strategic reallocation to the AFTRA Retirement Fund as needed to strengthen members’ retirement benefits. High-budget non-dramatic entertainment programs made for SVOD will also now be subject to the scale minimums of the Network Code. Additionally, a large number of meaningful gains were made in many performer categories, including expanded streaming coverage for sports broadcasters for certain sporting events, improved protections around young performers, better terms for dancers and singers, protections for ensuring hair and makeup equity, and earlier access to disability accommodations. Background actors, promo announcers, stand-ins, and reporters also received improved terms. Most importantly, the new contract also requires the use of intimacy coordinators for scenes involving nudity or simulated sex and advance notification to background performers when nudity or simulated sex will be required. The agreement also adds a commitment to adopt future artificial intelligence terms secured in the upcoming 2026 TV/Theatrical Agreement negotiations. “This is a meaningful and future-facing contract that raises the bar across the board. This contract reflects the union’s deep commitment to dignity, fairness, and progress in the face of increasingly adverse times,” said SAG-AFTRA President Fran Drescher. “I’m incredibly proud of the work that went into this deal, and wholeheartedly approve of what it represents for our members working under the Network Television Code.” “This agreement delivers meaningful wage increases, expanded protections through the use of intimacy coordinators and guaranteed access to disability accommodations and AI safeguards, all while securing vital gains in workplace safety and retirement contributions,” said SAG-AFTRA National Executive Director & Chief Negotiator Duncan Crabtree-Ireland. “It also adds additional needed resources to the AFTRA Retirement Fund. I’m especially grateful for the Network Television Code Negotiating Committee, led by Chair Keri Tombazian. Their insight and dedication helped ensure this agreement meets the evolving needs of our members in the ever-changing media landscape. I also commend our extraordinary negotiating staff and especially lead negotiator Ray Rodriguez for their efforts in achieving this forward-thinking deal.” The current contracts remain in effect during the member ratification process, the union said. Informational meetings for members are currently being scheduled and details will be made available at sagaftra.org/netcode2025 in the coming days. Meanwhile, postcards will be mailed on Wednesday, July 30 to eligible SAG-AFTRA members and they will have until 5:00 p.m. PDT on Wednesday, August 20, 2025 to cast their vote on ratification.

The 100th episode is a milestone and a cause for celebration, even though it's expected since daytime shows typically see at least one full season, with rare exceptions (see "The Revolution," which didn't get to 100 episodes - ditto online reboots of "All My Children" and "One Life to Live"). That said, there was a cake-cutting party for the 100th episode: https://www.soapoperanetwork.com/2025/04/beyond-the-gates-milestone-100th-episode To your point, though, yes, when the show reaches episode 500, 1000, 2000, etc., that's when soaps typically celebrate their milestones en masse.- ARTICLE: ‘The Young And The Restless’ Star Lauralee Bell Reveals Her Vulnerable Side On ‘Soapy’
The fourth episode of “Soapy Hosted by Rebecca Budig and Greg Rikaart” is set to release on Tuesday, July 29, featuring an interview with “The Young and the Restless” star Lauralee Bell (Christine Blair), who, in a newly released clip, discusses how she was able to play the vulnerable side of her character during the early part of her tenure in daytime. When asked by Rebecca Budig (Taylor Hayes, “The Bold and the Beautiful”) about playing emotional scenes and being comfortable doing so, Bell shared a story of the time the show’s executive producer at the time, Wesley Kenney, demonstrated a physical technique he expected from the actress for the scenes she was about to portray, particularly as she was a teenager at the time. “He’s like, ‘And you have to go like this and like this, and like this, and I was looking at him like, ‘I don’t like, really? Are you sure?’ And it did have to be exaggerated for that,” recalled Bell of the experience in answering Budig’s question. “You could just tell I was, I was so scared.” When Greg Rikaart (Leo Stark, “Days of our Lives”) pointed out how difficult it must have been to be vulnerable as a teenager, Bell noted, “Thank God for no social media at that time.” Check out a clip from the fourth episode of “Soapy” below. “Soapy” is a new audio and video podcast that dives deep into the legacy, fandom, and enduring appeal of soap operas.
