I'm not saying CHCH isn't airing Beyond the Gates. I'm just saying that it's not the be-all-end-all of the show airing in Canada as has been implied in other articles -- not anyone here. The CHCH promo referenced above is the same CBS promo that aired in the U.S. but with CHCH lettering and graphics. If CHCH ends up being the only broadcaster that will be highly unexpected and disappointing, but I can't imagine that being the case in the end. By the time CBS dropped The Talk and greenlit BTG, I believe Global was airing the daytime talk show, so I expect the same network to carry BTG. But we shall see.

(update): I should have said, "on a station's TV listings." My prior use of the word "small" wasn't intended to devalue the worth of the station in question. No worries. I wasn't mad at you or anyone here, or anyone in general. Just pointing out that articles referencing CHCH are not accurate.

I'm going to say it one last time: There is NO OFFICIAL word on where Beyond the Gates will air in other countries, particularly Canada. Any current reporting stating otherwise is inaccurate or speculative. I have been assured that the official information will be released this week via press release. Yeah, I wish it was already known, but all articles and reports on the matter are currently speculative based on a small station's TV listings.

Thank you. So sorry about that.

I get the idea since it doesn't count as part of the show's actual first season episodes, but since it's five episodes, will episode 2 be S01E0.5 or something else? Weird.

As previously reported, on Monday, February 17, in honor of Black History Month, CBS will broadcast the primetime special, “On TV: A Black History Month Special,” presented by the team at “Entertainment Tonight.” Hosted by Kevin Frazier and Nischelle Turner, the first-ever Black co-hosting team for “Entertainment Tonight,” the primetime special will feature interviews with several CBS stars, including the cast of “Beyond the Gates,” the first new network television soap opera to premiere in over 25 years. Filmed on location from the sets of the CBS shows, the special will guide viewers through a celebration of Black excellence in television as the hosts shine a spotlight on Black actors who are forging a path in daytime and primetime television.

He was in charge of casting at Guiding Light starting in November 1999 until the show concluded in 2009. Interestingly, he is now the VP of casting at CBS. He's been in the role since December 2018.

Daytime newcomer Charlie Besso has been cast as Tobias on “General Hospital,” Soap Opera Network can confirm. He first airs on the Tuesday, February 18 episode of the daytime drama series. The character was first referenced in the December 20, 2023 episode, wherein Aiden (then played by Enzo De Angelis), came out to his mother, Elizabeth (Rebecca Herbst), for the first time as they prepared a Christmas meal together and Aiden reveled in his passion for culinary arts. In Tuesday’s episode, which sees Port Charles celebrating Valentine’s Day, Aiden (Colin Cassidy) introduces Tobias to his parents as the young couple prepare to go skating together. The episode also sees former “Days of our Lives” star Guy Wilson (ex-Will Horton) temporarily appearing as Lucky Spencer, Aiden’s father, on the soap. http://www.soapoperanetwork.com/media/2025/02/Guy-Wilson-Jonathan-Jackson-General-Hospital-1024x576.jpg Guy Wilson, Jonathan Jackson Adam Hendershott; Christine Bartolucci/Disney Although there was no reason given for the sudden casting switch at press time, original portrayer Jonathan Jackson is already back taping at the series and will be on screen soon as Wilson is set to appear in just a handful of episodes. Note: The Valentine’s Day episode for “General Hospital” was pushed back due to a last-minute schedule change which saw the soap preempted on Tuesday, January 7 due to ABC News’ ongoing coverage of the state funeral of former President Jimmy Carter. In 2022, Besso made his television debut in the Peacock original series “The Calling,” portraying Vincent Conte in the show’s first four episodes. Created by David E. Kelley (“L.A. Law,” “The Practice”), the series is about an NYPD detective on a spiritual mission to do justice who relies on his own belief in humanity as seemingly routine investigations turn upside down. The series starred Jeff Wilbusch, Juliana Canfield and Karen Robinson. More recently, Besso appeared in an episode of Prime Video’s mega-hit drama series “Fallout,” based on the video game series, and the recently wrapped second season of Netflix’s “The Night Agent.” The 22-year-old Besso also appeared in three episodes of ABC’s “Will Trent,” playing a character named Joey. In addition to acting, Besso is an accomplished singer, having amassed thousands of loyal monthly listeners of his music on Spotify. Listen to some of his songs below, including his big hit, “Angel Face Disaster.” Note: The post Charlie Besso Cast As Tobias On ‘General Hospital’ appeared first on the Soap Opera Network website.

Agreed. Unfortunately, people will believe what they want to believe. That's their right.

We'll soon find out. TV listings services usually update their breakdowns when the publicists send out their emails on Friday.

One can even say Mike Manning landed his gig through his work on The Bay considering Gregori J. Martin is a breakdown writer on the show. Again, one can say. That doesn't mean I'm saying that.

Call it nepotism, or whatever, but there are two (of many) reasons why Jon has this role: Like Michael Park ("As The World Turns"), Jon Lindstrom is a recognizable face who has appeared in numerous political dramas and suspense thrillers dealing with the mob, bad guys and immoral people. None of which describes Jon himself, but he is an immense talent that any show would love to have available to them. Long time friends with the show's creator, head writer, executive producer and showrunner, who has fought on behalf of and spearheaded her work as long as time has existed.

Several can imply a lot to some people, so they needed to clarify how it is not that many.

Please stop taking someone's opinion and creating any form of animosity. I'm not here for infighting. There is no reason for it as words can be misconstrued. There's nothing wrong with not liking a show, and there's nothing wrong with using phrases that might be misconceived as hate or dislike. Think nothing more into one's words. You might be wrong, or even right... but it is THEIR opinion!

As I said earlier, news of the Canadian broadcaster will be announced this week via press release.

Circled back with my contact. There's going to be an announcement sometime this week via press release.

The role of Lucky Spencer on “General Hospital” will temporarily be played by former “Days of our Lives” star Guy Wilson (ex-Will Horton), beginning with the Tuesday, February 18 episode, Soap Opera Network can confirm. Jonathan Jackson, who originated the role in 1993, and has appeared off and on ever since (with two other actors assuming the role in between), returned to the series on a full-time basis in August 2024, signing a multi-year contract with the daytime drama series. http://www.soapoperanetwork.com/media/2025/02/174795_0024-1024x683.jpgGenie Francis, Jonathan Jackson Christine Bartolucci/Disney In the episode airing on Tuesday, Lucky (Wilson) and Elizabeth (Rebecca Herbst) are finally introduced to Aiden’s (Colin Cassidy) romantic friend, Tobias, who he had been talking about continuously since coming out to his mom in the December 20, 2023 episode of the series. The actor portraying Tobias was not released at press time, nor was the reason for the temporary switch in actors for Lucky Spencer. Since making his final appearance on “Days of our Lives” in 2015, Wilson has appeared in numerous television shows including “Code Black,” “NCIS: Los Angeles,” “S.W.A.T.” and the miniseries “Angelyne.” He also had starring roles in such shows as “Bosch: Legacy” and “Youthful Daze.” Look for Wilson to appear in just a handful of episodes as Jackson is already back taping at the series.

Probably explains why they want you to buy it on digital.

LMAO! So they scripted their speeches in sync with each coast in case they won? Wow.

If this was a social media platform, I would have hearted your post. Totally see it happening as well. ❤️

Although rumors have swirled for months since her exit from “General Hospital,” where she played Sam McCall on the daytime drama series for 21 years, as of right now, there is no truth to social media rumblings that Kelly Monaco has landed a new soap gig, particularly at “Days of our Lives,” Soap Opera Network has confirmed. According to unsubstantiated reports, Monaco was to start taping at the Peacock series in March but a rep for the show tells us there is no truth to that, stating adamantly, “Not true.” Soap Opera Network first broke the news last August when we reported “General Hospital” had plans to “terminate” Monaco’s character off the show. The following month, Monaco taped her final episodes, with a video of her final day on set going viral in mid-November. In it, the actress could be seen holding back tears as she thanked the show’s cast and crew for the “experience that I’ll take with me for the rest of my life.” Since last appearing in the November 1, 2024 episode of “General Hospital,” which saw her character killed off after being injected with digitalis by Cyrus Renault (Jeff Kober), kicking off a serial killer storyline on the soap, fans of Monaco had been left wondering what’s next for the former “Dancing with the Stars” Mirror Ball trophy winner with many hoping she’d eventually land at another soap. http://www.soapoperanetwork.com/media/2025/02/174625_0433-1024x683.jpgLaura Wright, Kelly Monaco (“General Hospital”) Christine Bartolucci/Disney Thus far, Monaco has been relatively quiet on social media, last interacting with fans who shared heartening messages to and about her on platforms such as X (formerly Twitter) last December. In response to a fan who was thrilled she had received a follow from Kelly’s account, Monaco responded, telling the poster, “Thank you, for all of your support! As always, it doesn’t go unnoticed… Very much appreciated. Happy Holidays to you and yours!” Monaco also hearted a few other posts sent to and about her, one of which was in response to a fan who shared a clip of four female cast members from “The Young and the Restless” performing a “Wicked” TikTok dance challenge, wherein fans of the hit movie, based on the Broadway musical, mimic the iconic moves shown in the film that is set to the song “What Is This Feeling” by Academy Award nominees Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo. “I would love to see @kellymonaco1 dancing and having fun with these women. #yr Kelly would bring her talent, loyalty, dedication and all her fans with her! She’d bring so much excitement too! #yr would be so lucky to have her @CBS,” read the initial post on X. It was followed by another poster who said, “Make my wish come true, Santa!!! Please!!” In addition to “Dancing with the Stars” and “General Hospital,” Monaco’s credits include her star-turning role as Livvie Locke on “Port Charles,” where she appeared from 2000-2003, and made a big impression on fans, particularly with her work opposite Michael Easton, who played vampire Caleb Morely on the soap. Easton would later reunite with Monaco on “General Hospital” in 2012 when he took his “One Life to Live” character to Port Charles, the town, before eventually portraying multiple other characters throughout his 12-year-run on the 61-year-old soap – neither of his characters was romantically involved with Easton’s. Nominated for at least two Daytime Emmy Awards throughout her career, the first of which came in 2003 in the category of Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series for her role on “Port Charles,” and again in 2006 for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series for her performance as Sam on “General Hospital,” Monaco also appeared in episodes of such shows as “Baby Daddy,” “Football Wives,” “Spin City” and “Baywatch,” among others. Watch the #LoathingDance trend featuring “The Young and the Restless” stars Courtney Hope (Sally), Melissa Claire Egan (Chelsea), Elizabeth Hendrickson (Chloe) and Hayley Erin (Claire) below.
