    Sharon Wyatt could really break your heart. 

    How dare you show me a clip of an emotional scene between female friends who no one is asking if they are lovers and are scenes between actual female friends and not just women who appear in scenes together to fill space/time. Not to mention, a tank top-wearing Mac isn't stirring jealousy among women and goodbye was a goodbye instead of killing a character off because you don't know what else to do with them. 

    What a difference the 90s had on soaps compared to today.

  7. Mischa Barton, Neighbours, The O.C., The Hills

    When the show lost a critical broadcast partner in the United Kingdom last year, “Neighbours” was unceremoniously canceled after 37 years on television. Several months later, the Australian soap opera has officially resumed production in Melbourne, with all-new episodes set to premiere later this fall on Amazon Freevee.

    In celebration of its return, several cast member announcements have been made in recent days and weeks, including word that “The O.C.” star Mischa Barton will be joining the show’s cast as a guest star, playing the role of Reece, an American new to Erinsborough who’s not quite who she appears to be.

    “With Neighbours launching on Amazon Freevee in North America, we are beyond excited to have an actor of Mischa’s caliber join us for the beginning of this exciting new chapter,” said the show’s executive producer Jason Herbison. “Mischa’s character is dynamic and unpredictable, and will have an instant presence on Ramsay Street. Our loyal viewers are going to love her, locally and abroad.”

    Sharing her enthusiasm for returning to her soap roots, Barton says, “I’m excited to be part of this iconic show’s next chapter, and I am really looking forward to being back in Australia — a place I know and love! I think the character of Reece is going to be a great role for me to explore and play with.”

    Additional cast announcements include the returns of Lucinda Cowden as Melanie Pearson, Georgie Stone as Mackenzie Hargreaves,  Rebekah Elmaloglou as Terese Willis, Annie Jones as Jane Harris; Tim Kano as Leo Tanaka and guest stars Ian Smith as Harold Bishop, April Rose Pengilly as Chloe Brennan and Melissa Bell as Lucy Robinson. Previously announced returnees include Stefan Dennis as Paul Robinson, Alan Fletcher as Karl Kennedy, Ryan Moloney as Jarrod “Toadfish” Rebecchi and Jackie Woodburne as Susan Kennedy. 

    Running for over three decades, “Neighbours” remains the longest-running Australian soap opera, recently celebrating its 38th anniversary last month. 

    Upon its return, “Neighbours” will be available to stream on Amazon Freevee in the United Kingdom and the United States and Prime Video in Australia, New Zealand, Canada, Ireland and South Africa – Network 10 will retain first-run broadcast rights in Australia with ad-free episodes releasing seven days later on Prime Video in Australia. Previous seasons of “Neighbours” and many iconic episodes are available to stream on Amazon Freevee.

    The show helped launch the acting careers of Margot Robbie, Kylie Minogue, Guy Pearce and Russell Crowe, among others.

  8. Jacqueline MacInnes Wood, Steffy Forrester, The Bold and the Beautiful, Bold & Beautiful, Bold and Beautiful, #BoldandBeautiful, The Talk, #TheTalk

    Jacqueline MacInnes Wood not only appeared on the Monday, April 17 episode of “The Talk” to promote the upcoming 9000th episode of her show, “The Bold and the Beautiful,” she also celebrated her birthday on the set of the daytime talk show and announced she’s pregnant with her fourth child!

    While receiving a themed cake from the show’s hosts, Wood revealed to the world she’s pregnant, stating, “I’m pregnant again… Every time I’m here I’m always announcing that I’m pregnant. All I wanted for my birthday was just to eat and sleep. But let me tell you, when I’m not pregnant, I’m a good time.”

    This marks Wood’s fourth child with her husband, Elan Ruspoli, following their sons, Rise (born March 2019), Lenix (born February 2021) and Brando (born May 2022).

    As for her starring role on “The Bold and the Beautiful” as Steffy Forrester, Wood teases what’s to come in the stand-alone episode, airing Tuesday, April 18, saying, “This is a real feel good episode, not a heavy drama, just a walk down memory lane with Steffy. It’s really fun. I’m super honored to be part of it because, you know I actually grew up watching the show. So to be part of the 9,000th episode is a significant moment for the show, but also for me. I grew up watching it with my grandmother.” shares MacInnes. 

    Wood later explains the dynamics of Steffy’s relationships, proclaiming, “I think Steffy, no offense Liam [Scott Clifton], but Steffy she kind of wears the pants in the relationship. She has more of the control…but then Finn [Tanner Novlan] is more passionate and just the fire is there. But that could change, it could be a transformative year.”

    To celebrate Mark joining his real-life wife, Kelly Ripa, every morning on America’s highest-rated daytime talk show, producers put together a special reel looking back at his time appearing as a guest on “Live with Regis and Kathie Lee,” both by himself and alongside Ripa before she took over as co-host of “Live with Regis and Kelly,” and his numerous guest hosting appearances from that era of the show towards its most recent iterations as “Live with Kelly” and “Live with Kelly and Ryan.”

    In addition, during the host walkout and first conversation between the co-hosts, Mark stated, “Hayley and Mateo Forever,” referencing the popular pairing played by the duo on “All My Children.” Also, psychic Char Margolis appeared and reacted to a clip of her predicting Kelly’s pregnancy back in 2000. She then revealed what she sees for the show’s future and gave Mark his personal reading.

  10. Emma Samms, Holly Sutton, General Hospital, GH, GH ABC, #GH, #GeneralHospital

    Beginning with today’s Monday, April 17 episode of “General Hospital,” fans can look forward to seeing another return visit from Emma Samms as her iconic character Holly Sutton. The actress last appeared on the daytime drama series in November 2022.

    In the newest issue of Soap Opera Digest, on newsstands now, Samms teases what’s to come with her latest stint, which finds her character in Venezuela looking to rescue her son Ethan from a “sticky situation” with support from Felicia Scorpio (Kristina Wagner).

    “As it turns out, they’re a very good team,” says Samms of how well Felicia and Holly seemingly work together. “You’ll see that the scenes are both funny and dramatic and I think that’s one thing that ‘General Hospital” strives for, which is to have both humor and high-stakes drama. It’s a great, great story and again, very fast-paced.”

    Speaking of her return to the canvas, Samms notes that she’s back in the fold because of the fans. “That’s who we’re doing this for; everything we do is for them, and their enthusiasm and support is what motivates me,” reveals the actress of her reasons for returning to the series. “I feel I have to get it right, to entertain them; that’s what absolutely motivates me. There’s absolutely no other reason to do it! They have consistently been kind to me, consistently enthusiastic and encouraging and very vocal, and I’m very grateful.”

    I agree. The name-change is cringe, but so long as I get the same HBO Max content, then I'm happy. They honestly would have just done "Warner Max" and it would've served better than just "Max". This would be like if HBO Go changed to just "Go". It wouldn't work. Plus, switching out the black-purple scheme for that... generic-looking blue that so many companies use... a choice.

    I think Warner Max would have made more sense as well. Someone even made a fantastic logo for that name using the current WB font scheme. I guess they chose not to emphasize the Warner part since they are merged with Discovery, and that brand would be lost with the Warner Max name. I'm warming up to the Max name since they have used "Max Original" on most of the key art for their original shows, so it makes sense. My issue is that Max is a name of a person. At least with Peacock, which is a bird, NBCUniversal could say that the Peacock has been NBC's branding for decades and made sense to use the name with their streamer. Max isn't the same in that regard. Again, it's just a generic shortened version of a name for a girl or a guy, whether it be Maxwell, Maxine, Maximillian, or what have you. Max would even make sense if it were the name of one of the Warner Bros. from back in the day. But to use "Max" as the name for your streamer, to me, is giving up.

    Has anyone bought the SOD Y&R 50th anniversary tribute issue? Is it worth the $13.99 cover price?

    I wouldn't say it is worth $13.99, but it's pretty good actually. It's about the same price as the GH People magazine issue and they have virtually the same number of pages. Ultimately, it's about branding and whether you think $13.99 is excessive.

    Considering a regular issue of Digest is about $6.99 or $7.99, I'd say it's worth paying $13.99 since it's a one-time occurence.

    I like Noel. That's his whit humor. 

    That said I understand how you and others might have found it offensive. I do feel your pain when you feel you aren't being heard. The board needs an overhaul where moderating is concerned. Posters can continue trashing the board and other posters yet still continue to post on here. I'm not even referring to Noel. 

    But I understand how the game is played here.

    What kind of overhaul? Seriously. Honest question. What exactly do you think Toups or I could do better when moderating the board? Neither of us can read every single post. When we receive reported posts (which are VERY rare), we handle them as quickly as possible and to the best of our abilities when judging the context of what was reported.

    If you want us to become Twitter, Facebook or any other social media platform that polices posts by constantly warning members over some of the things they've posted, you'd be surprised who would be impacted by all that.

    I've said it in the past, and I'll repeat it again, having to baby posters and tell them they are not being nice to each other isn't worth my time. I have so many things to do when it comes to this website that I should have a staff of 20, but no amount of revenue generated by this site can afford to pay a single person.

    Additionally, people trashing the board means nothing to me. Why? Because if I gave a damn what people had to say about SON, I'd be a fool to keep it up and running. Seems I have thicker skin than most. People, including yourself (re-read your post), can say all they want about SON and the SON Community but continue posting because I don't believe in silencing opinions. Especially those I disagree with.

    As for games, there isn't one being played. At least not by me and not by Toups. All we ever wanted for this place was a forum for people to discuss their love for soaps, past and present, openly. We want people to talk about their favorite storylines, favorite actors, worst plot devices, best and worst couples, worst soap, best soap, etc. We also welcome disagreements on said topics as debates are an ideal reason for a discussion forum. 

    Instead, one of the ONLY forums still in existence today that provides people of all ages and backgrounds the ability to discuss all things soaps (among other topics), and not just some random couple or other single-topic fandoms, is constantly being demoralized because people want to get rid of posters they don't agree with or don't like because of something they said. More importantly, people get up in their feelings and start attacking each other over nonsense. And people expect me to come in and break up a pathetic fight from said verbal attacks? I then have to decide who to ban. Who to warn? Why? Twitter and Facebook don't do that? Why should I have to?

    Don't like what someone has to say? Ignore them. You can't do that? Not my problem.

    To add:

    My comments are not meant to hurt anyone or make them feel less than others. I'm stating my opinion openly, for the first time in 20 years since running this place, with absolutely no compensation from anyone who dares complain about how it's run. 

    When we introduce advertisements to pay for the server. Complaints. When we have over a dozen moderators, it creates drama among members vs. moderators and that leads to the creation of other forums (which won't be named here). There are complaints when we try to be hands-off and let people handle themselves like adults.

    There are days I question whether to keep it up and running, and today is definitely one of them. Maybe I should let it all blow up and burn down. Won't bother me.

  14. So she's "dead," and she killed Stark. What deeper hole can we expect these writers to dig for poor Phyllis? As I said elsewhere, maybe I'm getting older, but I'm sick of these bullshit storylines where I'm supposed to root for such a character when they do things like this. It disgusts me and actually makes me want them to pay for what they did, not get away with it.

  16. This is a discussion forum. Let's remind ourselves of that. If people don't like what they see on their screen or can't stand a character or a storyline, they are more than welcome to talk about it. Just as they are welcome to discuss what they do like. No one should dictate what topics someone can respond to, what they can say in response to said topic, or should question ones viewing habits. There is something called hate watching, just like there is the concept of love watching. There is no reason to lay into each other because of our disagreeing viewpoints.

    Worst case scenario, head to your settings and click on the ignore button.

  18. This is SEO 101.

    Right now, Harry Potter is a hot topic with news that it's being rebooted as TV series. With people searching for information, sites create these Search Engine Optimized (SEO) articles so that when people search for stories related to Harry Potter, mainly when it's coming out and who's starring in it, and even if J.K. Rowling will be involved, Google and other search engines will help rank their articles at the top of the list because the "article" (aka post) provides the bullet points that a user is searching for. The better you rank, the more hits you get. The more clicks, the more money you generate.

    So, to answer your question...nope. Not too soon.

  19. Jacqueline MacInnes Wood, Steffy Forrester, The Bold and the Beautiful, Bold & Beautiful, Bold and Beautiful, #BoldandBeautiful

  20. For those who know what I'm talking about:

    I do not believe @Noel meant anything by their comment about Kristen and Eric's scenes being acceptable behavior on Kristen's part. As I saw it, the comment was just that: a comment about how they looked good in the bedroom as a pairing. Meaning the actors/characters when you take out the context.

    If the comment was in reference to a real-life situation, I could understand some of the since-deleted responses.

  21. Sean Kanan, Carolyn Hennesy, General Hospital, Studio City, #StudioCity

    @Errol I completely agree with everything you said! I also have seen their "speculations" posted as something that is going to happen and people run with it on other sites and I am just amazed at how easily people believe this stuff

    And that's a problem. No one should have to question the authenticity of a story, nor should people be lied to. The lie gets more traction than the truth/correction, and people will swear up and down they read it at so and so site, including SON (at least not written by Toups or me). Just irritating.

    Anyway, back to the Y&R discussion. The show is boring and this fake funeral storyline with Phyllis is ridiculous. The only way it'd be plausible is if someone kidnapped her, faked her death and had everyone mourning her. To have her wearing a wig and watching people mourn her makes the character irredeemable in my eyes, as it's disgusting that someone would allow their loved ones to believe they were dead to prove a point about something. And to top it off, they see people grieving over them being gone.

    Yeah, Diane did it first, but who gives a crap? At least someone tried to murder her which helped justify her pretending to be dead...and it made more sense since A) it happened a decade ago and b) we're talking about a different actor in the role at that time compared to now.

    I know it's a soap, but I'm getting older, I guess, and I'm sick of the B.S. these soaps are telling as stories. Give real stories to your viewers. This isn't the 80s or 90s. Realism is okay if you mix in enough fantasy to take us from our everyday problems. This isn't it.

    I despise that site so much! It's run by Richard Simms who used to be in charge of running Soaps in Depth. They post all this crap and people out there that take it as gospel sadly 

    Regardless of who's running it, my issue is that we're all competing for clicks and having to provide readers with a reason to read our articles, whether it's the same story read here or elsewhere. We have to build a form of trust that gives visitors a reason to keep returning. However, when you are posting entirely false things, such as "Daniel Goddard as EJ DiMera on Days of our Lives" and placing said story in your news section when it is more wishful thinking (aka wishful casting) than anything else, and said actor retweets said falsehood to gear up support from fans, you are playing with all types of fire. 

    Now posting that B&B could save the Phyllis character, again, in your news section, when she isn't going to B&B, and the story is complete bullshit, all it tells me is your writers have nothing better to do/write about, so they have to create things out of thin air to generate a pageview.

    I'm not being a "hater" I'm just pointing out how it looks.

  24. Michael B. Jordan

    Released today, Michael B. Jordan, Angela Bassett, Lea Michele and Drew Barrymore are just some of the names found on the 2023 edition of the TIME100 list, which names the 100 most influential people in the world.
