To clarify, Burton's first day back was Monday, February 5 (my birthday 🤪).

I spoke to my aunt earlier today, who has been a soap watcher for decades. Of the four soaps still on the air, the one she still watched was Days of our Lives. That is, until it moved to Peacock. She hasn't watched it since. I don't know how many people are watching Days of our Lives currently, but it's definitely nowhere near the same amount as those who watched when it was still on broadcast television.

“Days of our Lives” star Lauren Koslow (Kate Roberts) recently announced that she is a first time grandmother. In a post on Instagram, Koslow shared the first pictures of her granddaughter, Sistine, saying in the caption, “Welcome to this wondrous world, sweet Sistine. I’m your grandmama and I’ve been waiting to meet you for such a long, long while.” It was back in October 2023 when Koslow revealed in a separate Instagram post that her daughter Millikate was pregnant and expecting a daughter. In that post, Koslow said, “I love you to the moon and stars and back again!!! Forever and always! Happy birthday my beautiful daughter – enjoy every moment of this most fabulous next trip around the sun . Congratulations my soon -to -be little mama.” In response to Koslow’s happy news about the birth of her first grandbaby, several of her current and former co-stars chimed in, including Kristian Alfonso, Mary Beth Evans, Melissa Reeves, Thaao Penghlis, Jen Lilley, Valerie Wildman and Blake Berris, among others. “Beautiful Beauty just like her momma and Grandmama,” commented Alfonso. “Soooo beautiful!!! Happy grandmahood,” boasted Evans. “Lauren!!!!!! So excited for you and your family,” noted Reeves. “So precious!!! Congratulations to you and your loved ones. Sending love,” stated Wildman. Check out the Instagram posts below for photos of the newborn and a collage of milestones featuring Koslow’s daughter, Millikate.

In response to a lawsuit filed by former “Days of our Lives” actress Arianne Zucker early Wednesday at the Superior Court of the state of California, wherein she alleges claims of sexual harassment and retaliation, the show’s producer Corday Productions, Inc. and former co-executive producer Albert Alarr have formally issued statements on the matter. According to a spokesperson for Corday Productions, “The allegations in Ms. Zucker’s lawsuit are without merit. Corday Productions offered to renew Ms. Zucker’s contract including offering her a pay increase. Rejecting Ms. Zucker’s counteroffer does not constitute retaliation.” The show’s statement further noted, “Complaints about Mr. Alarr’s on-set behavior were promptly investigated. Corday Productions fully cooperated with the impartial investigation and subsequently terminated Mr. Alarr.” Albert Alarr Howard Wise/JPI Studios As for Alarr, his attorney, Robert M. Barta, released a statement to TMZ, saying, “As Albert said when Ms. Zucker first leveled these outrageous claims through the press last year, her baseless allegations were examined in a detailed and entirely independent investigation that lasted for two months. Dozens of individuals cooperated and every claim was thoroughly looked into. At the end of that process, the decision was made that Albert should continue in his role as Co-Executive Producer of ‘Days of our Lives.’ “As Ms. Zucker’s own lawsuit all but admits, at a time of industry-wide cutbacks, she was aggressively seeking a significant personal pay increase and additional influence on the show. Having failed in those attempts, she is now – again – trying to exploit vile stereotypes to denigrate and demean a Black man who was in a position of power.” In addition to Corday Productions, Inc. and Albert Alarr, “Days of our Lives” executive producer Ken Corday is himself also named as a defendant in Zucker’s lawsuit. In her complaint for damages, which also includes a demand for a jury trial, Zucker’s lawsuit outlines the following: Discrimination in Violation of Statute (California Government Code § 12490, et. seq.) Harassment in Violation of Statute (California Government Code § 12490, et. seq.) Retaliation in Violation of Statute (California Government Code § 12490, et. seq.) Failure to Prevent Discrimination, Harassment and Retaliation in Violation of Statute (California Government Code § 12490, et. seq.) Violation of California Labor Code § 1102.5 Violation of California Labor Code § 1197.5 Negligent Hiring, Supervision and Retention Intentional Infliction of Emotional Distress Wrongful Termination In Violation of Public Policy Breach of Implied Covenant of Good Faith and Fair Dealing Violation of California Business & Professions Code § 17200, et. seq. Zucker’s contract with Corday Productions, wherein she’s played the role of Nicole Walker DiMera on and off “Days of our Lives” since 1998, expired last month, four months after she alleges she entered into contract negotiations with the production company. She alleges she was given a “take it or leave it” offer. Without a new deal in place, she was effectively without a job. You can read Zucker’s full complaint by clicking here.

Arianne Zucker, one of the only current actors under contract at “Days of our Lives” to informally speak out during the Albert Alarr allegations from last summer, which led to the producer’s firing from the daytime drama series, is now suing the show’s production company, Corday Productions, Inc., over alleged claims of sexual harassment and retaliation. Also named in the suit, which claims Alarr had sexually harassed her and other female employees on the show, are Alarr and the show’s executive producer, Ken Corday. According to TMZ, which first reported the news of Zucker’s lawsuit, the actress was “subjected to nonconsensual sexual touching and sexually harassing comments during Alarr’s employment — claiming Alarr would frequently pull her close to his chest and make sexual moans while doing so.” Additionally, while filming, “Alarr would make sexually suggestive remarks” and allegedly tell male “costars filming sex scenes with her that he would ‘love to switch positions’ with them.” Further, Alarr allegedly “made it clear he enjoyed aggressive sex scenes.” In line with a report by Deadline last July, Zucker notes in her lawsuit that Alarr’s behavior had become “ well-known to other producers … claiming multiple women went to Corday Production Inc. over the years but the company allegedly did nothing.” After meeting with the show’s co-producer, Sony Pictures Television and its HR department between March 2023 and June 2023, wherein an investigation had been underway with several cast members and employees called in to discuss allegations brought against Alarr, Zucker points out that ultimately, Alarr was allowed to continue in his role as the show’s then co-executive producer, something which left Zucker feeling “violated and intimidated.” Janet Drucker, Albert Alarr YouTube (via Screengrab); Howard Wise/JPI Studios In the months since Alarr’s August firing, with Janet Drucker replacing him as the show’s co-executive producer, a move Zucker claims to have been a move to “save face” after the allegations became public, Arianne alleges that by October 2023, she had attempted to negotiate a new contract with Corday Productions. The production company allegedly gave her a “take it or leave it” counteroffer. By January 2024, Zucker’s contract had expired without a new deal being made, which she says effectively left her without a job. As a result, Zucker filed her lawsuit, claiming “harassment, discrimination, retaliation, negligent hiring and supervision, and wrongful termination,” among other claims. Zucker is asking for unspecified damages. You can read the full lawsuit which was published by Deadline, by clicking here. Zucker is being represented by attorney Anahita Sedaghatfar.

After spending time away from Port Charles to concentrate on his college studies in real life, actor William Lipton will soon return to “General Hospital” as Cameron Webber for some emotional scenes during the week of February 5. With Spencer Cassadine (Nicholas Chavez) presumed dead after a fall into the water alongside ex-girlfriend Esme (Avery Kristen Pohl), family, friends and all those in between will gather in memory of the beloved Cassadine heir, which includes his best friend and cousin Cameron. In real life, Spencer’s portrayer is taking time off to film the Netflix limited series “Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story,” with Chavez portraying the elder Menendez brother, Lyle. Lipton was last seen on the soap in March 2023. He joined the cast of the daytime drama series in 2018 as the firstborn son of Elizabeth Webber (Rebecca Herbst). Soap Opera Digest, which first reported Lipton’s return, interviewed the actor last year following his most recent appearance, wherein he said of fans missing his appearance on the series, “It’s always an honor to be so well-received by such an amazing and loving community.” He added, “They have been following a good chunk of my life now. I started [on ‘GH’] when I was a sophomore in high school and now I’m a sophomore in college. I’m so thankful for everyone’s concern and the love they’ve given me.” In 2020, Lipton was nominated for a Daytime Emmy Award in the category of Outstanding Original Song for his work as composer and lyricist for the song “North Star,” which was featured on “General Hospital.” In addition to his musical talents, Lipton was also previously nominated two other times by the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences, the organization behind the Daytime Emmy Awards, for his portrayal as Cameron Webber on the soap in the now-eliminated Outstanding Younger Performer in a Daytime Drama Series category (2022 nominee) and also eliminated Outstanding Younger Actor in a Drama Series (2019 nominee) category, the latter of which preceded the former which combined actor and actress nominees into one category starting in 2020.

Glad to see this thread back open. I can't fathom how a thread about a show that's been off the air for nearly 25 years could incite such whatever that was. Let's try not to have this happen again. There's absolutely no reason for it. Happy posting, Another World fans!

Correct. I made the correction in the article published on the site. I rarely correct myself once a copy of said article hits the boards.

More than 15 years since the character was last seen on screen as part of the spinoff series “General Hospital: Night Shift,” with original star Antonio Sabato Jr. reprising the role, “General Hospital” has decided to bring back the John “Jagger” Cates character to Port Charles with actor Adam J. Harrington now portraying the part. Ironically, Harrington’s middle name is actually John. Harrington debuted on the daytime drama series during the Friday, February 2 episode, wherein Jagger, now going by his first name, John, met Carly (Laura Wright) outside of the newly christened Bobbie’s eatery, which is named after Carly’s late mother, Bobbie Spencer (played by the late Jacklyn Zeman). Bellum Entertainment When last seen in 2008, Jagger (Sabato Jr.) had become an FBI agent and was a single father to an autistic son whom he named after his late brother, Stone Cates (Michael Sutton). The father/son duo eventually relocated back to San Francisco, where Jagger jump started his law enforcement career in 1994 shortly after marrying Karen (then played by Cari Shayne) when the then happy couple left for greater pastures following the exits of their portrayers from the series. In 1995, Jagger made a brief return to Port Charles to spend time with his brother, who was dying of AIDS. Shortly after Stone’s death, Jagger again returned to San Francisco. The role of Stone Cates II, or Stone Cates Jr., was played by the late actor Cameron Bryce (Disney’s “Jessie”) First introduced in 1992, Jagger was part of the young adult scene that included the aforementioned Karen, Brenda (Vanessa Marcil), AJ (Sean Kanan) and Jason (Steve Burton), among characters in the age group. With more than 100 acting credits under his belt, including roles as an FBI agent in episodes of “Bosch,” “The Mob Doctor” and “Dexter,” Harrington is no stranger to episodic television, having appeared in multiple episodes of such shows as “CSI: Crime Scene Investigation,” “Criminal Minds,” “CSI: NY,” “CSI: Miami,” “Smallville,” “Supernatural,” “Parks and Recreation,” “Shadowhunters,” “Show Me Yours,” “Queer as Folk,” “Whistler,” “NCIS,” “The Rookie” and more recently “The Lincoln Lawyer,” among his numerous other credits. In 2011, Harrington voiced one of the main characters in the popular video game “L.A. Noire,” where he played a detective who had a key role in the overall murder investigation spearheaded by his Vice partner Cole Phelps (Aaron Staton). In the game, Vice is a department within the L.A.P.D. that handles offenses dealing with prostitution, narcotics, lewdness, lasciviousness and obscenity. Although now outdated graphics-wise due to the game systems in use at the time, the game was an innovator in utilizing the likeness of its cast, where the characters’ voices matched the actors portraying them. The game went on to sell over five million copies worldwide. Check out photos of Harrington’s debut on “General Hospital” below. Laura Wright as Carly Spencer and Adam J.

Does anyone else find it interesting how one Adam (character) exits as another Adam (actor) joins? Joshua Benard is done at GH as Adam (for now) as Adam J. Harrington joins GH as a recast John Cates. BTW: John is Adam Harrington's middle name.

Don't you love how spec happens where some people claim to suddenly know everything when literally no one knew Jagger was even back in town, much less recast?

Oh, lmao! Then we'd have no television shows on TV, especially not a single soap opera. So funny! As a side note, I find this annoying: Antonio Sabato Jr Antonio Sabato, Jr Antonio Sabato, Jr. Antonio Sabáto Jr Antonio Sabáto, Jr Antonio Sabáto, Jr. To be clear, I'm referencing how said person seemingly does not know how they want to spell their name on any given day. The bolded versions are the most common ones used by said person. The others are just the proper grammatical variations of it. Oh, and they also use Antonio Sabato Jr. on their new book's cover, so I guess that's a third variation they use now.

Oh, I'm talking about recasting Brenda. Not recasting in general. Haha. Sorry about the confusion.

I used to think that of Carly, but they still ended up recasting her THREE times. If they can recast Edward Quartermaine, they can recast anyone no matter how much of a reach it might be. I don't agree with recasting, however, to be clear.

Um, I don't know what this is... but it was posted today. So, that said... I'll take Trader Joe's.

Right. What I meant by that was by moving Murder, She Wrote, it gave Touched by an Angel a timeslot to thrive in. Had Murder, She Wrote stayed in its Sunday timeslot and continued to do well, and continued in general, who knows if Touched by an Angel would have succeded the way it did.

In the interview I watched, the network basically told them to either get Fran and Max together or else. So they got them together. Supposedly ratings started to falter with the move to Wednesdays. The show was lucky to eke out an extra (and final) season on Wednesday nights solely due to how well the wedding did. In the final season, after so many episodes, they rested the show only to later bring it back with episodes leading up to and including the series finale episodes. Only in the summer did we see some of the episodes that were taped before the finale but after the scheduled break. From Fran's interview, she said the show was moved off Mondays so the network could accommodate Bill Cosby's new (comeback) comedy. When that show failed on Mondays, it bumped The Nanny off the schedule altogether during much of the latter show's final season. By the time The Nanny returned to CBS, the network wanted to air the series finale during sweeps (those were the days), so they jumped over a number of already taped episodes so it could air the finale during the all-important May ratings period, despite the show having a ratings decline. The remaining episodes, I believe, aired in June or something. To your point, yes, because they figured the show was ending anyway. At that point, it got what would be considered a "proper sendoff" in terms of series finales. I love, love, love the show, and I still watch clips or full episodes on YouTube almost every day when they upload them. In 2022, I binged the whole series when Max was still HBO Max. Actually, I take that back, I binged all the episodes within days of it joining the HBO Max (now Max) library. So, that was in April 2021, actually. I remember because I was watching episodes while I was at my brother's house.

He did the same thing to The Nanny. Moved it from Mondays to Wednesdays. I recently watched clips where Fran Drescher talks about it, and it was clear Les wanted to make his stamp on the network. Under him, CBS became the CSI and NCIS network. While some of those additions have helped keep CBS in business to this day, it was done so savagely to the detriment of the shows that were doing well on the network. One thing I will point out, though, is that by moving Murder, She Wrote, it helped Touched by an Angel.

If I understand correctly, if I were to host a YouTube show, I could *technically* win an Emmy (or at least be nominated) based on the inclusion of this new category (daily or non-daily being a distinction based on episode counts).

Ideally, the other poster would also ignore someone they don't want to engage with, but at the same time, if someone posts something ON TOPIC they want to respond to, they should have every right to respond to said post. That said, yes, ignoring someone goes both ways and is inevitably the best solution for conflicts. However, if the other person chooses not to ignore you, too, it becomes clear they want the fight, and that should be something we need to look at more closely as admins/moderators. I leave people to be themselves and not police their speech in any capacity regardless of whether I agree with them or not. In return, I expect people to act like adults. My always emphasizing the ignore setting is not to be taken lightly. If one can't do that and it becomes a problem for the board, only then will I step in and take action (i.e. ban someone), which I almost always never do -- I'm not a dictator or tyrant like I was back in my early 20s. I like a stress-free life as much as possible, so if I have to ban someone for any reason...that person truly fucked up. That's not to say that I'm the good cop to @Toups bad cop or that one of us is the one to watch out for in terms of handling the tough calls because we are equals in that regard, but these days I almost always hesitate in stepping in to issue system warnings on posters, ban accounts, etc. Toups has no problems, lol. But circling back on the ban topic, blocking is not a problem solver. All it does is provide a false sense of anonymity. Just because they or you can't "see posts" (which the ignore feature more than enough accomplishes) doesn't mean they can't open an incognito window (browser) or, while logged out of the community, still see your posts anyway. Even the supposed block feature you're suggesting won't stop it. What you are suggesting is a block feature that would stop someone from seeing all traces of your content across the site. That's not possible right now and I'm not looking into adding it. If it ever becomes a thing by the developers, then by all means. But until then, I'M not investing any further in anything than what has already been provided.

Donna, There is no argument. I'm just telling you that there is no need for me to waste any further time, energy or resources on a feature that's pretty much already built into the forums by the developers. It is not my duty or obligation to provide what even a court of law can't, which is to make people invisible wherever they go. The best option is the ignore setting. It can't stop someone from quoting posts that become visible when shared by non-ignored posters, but it can help stop them, or you, from responding to their posts. Think of it this way... you have a restraining order against someone for some reason. All the police and the courts can do is state how far said person has to stay away from you; they can't stop the person from physically SEEING you unless the distance noted in the order is far enough that it would be impossible (very rare). The same goes for the message boards in that you won't see their posts nor feel the need to respond to their posts unless YOU decide to engage based on seeing their post quoted. If not quoted, you shouldn't ever see their posts. The same goes for the other poster.
