Dear Members, If you were logged into the SON Community at or before 3:03 p.m. ET today, May 3, please note that we forcibly logged everyone out of the site to continue our investigation into an issue that appears to be affecting a number of users, particularly our veterans. I have been spending days and nights investigating this issue and have reached out to tech support for assistance, but no resolution has been found yet. As a precaution, I was advised to log everyone out in the hope that it would be a solution. We are also investigating Cloudflare and its settings. At present, we're told this is an end-user issue, not directly caused by the SON Community, as the Browser (E.g., Chrome) being used by some users is the primary issue, particularly since this matter is not affecting all users, and some of those impacted say they've been able to log in using a different browser altogether. Regardless, I'm continuing to investigate, and I hope to have a resolution soon. In the meantime, please make sure you are using the latest version of your preferred browser on both desktop and mobile. Older browsers can affect your ability to visit all kinds of websites, including the SON Community, even if the issue is not immediately visible. If you haven't updated your browser in the past six months or year, you are using an old browser.

Additionally, does your IP address change frequently?

For anyone impacted by this recent matter, wherein they are being logged in/logged out automatically, by chance, are you using a VPN while visiting?

I can't say for sure, but I was able to identify the potential problem within Cloudflare that may have been the source of the issue for those impacted. You'd have to let me know whether adjusting this setting has fixed the problem for those impacted.

Although the six remaining episodes from season two of the series are scheduled to air on a new night beginning Wednesday, May 27, NBC has officially canceled its primetime drama “Brilliant Minds” starring Zachary Quinto and soap alums Teddy Sears (“One Life to Live”) and Al Calderon (“Days of our Lives”), among others. The news of the show’s cancellation comes months after it was pulled from the network’s schedule, only to be replaced by two-hour episodes of “The Voice” on Monday nights, which itself was moved to help support the launch of the new comedy “The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins,” which stars Tracy Morgan (“Saturday Night Live”), Daniel Radcliffe (“Harry Potter” film franchise), Erika Alexander (“Living Single”) and Precious Way (“Days of our Lives”), among others. After a successful first season that aired behind “The Voice,” Season 2 of the Warner Bros. TV-produced “Brilliant Minds” saw double-digit year-over-year declines and emerged as NBC’s lowest-rated drama on linear, making its renewal chances very low. Al Calderon Inspired by the extraordinary life and work of world-famous author and physician Oliver Sacks, “Brilliant Minds” follows Dr. Oliver Wolf (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 joined as a series regular for Season 2, playing Nurse Nico Silva, described as the “Mayor” of the fictionalized Bronx General Hospital. Sears plays Dr. Josh Nichols, Wolf’s love interest. Tamberla Perry, Ashleigh LaThrop, Alex MacNicoll, Aury Krebs, Spence Moore II, Donna Murphy, John Clarence Stewart and Brian Altemus round out the show’s cast. 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. The series 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. “Days Of Our Lives” Recasts Javi HernandezOn Thursday, April 30, “Days of our Lives” formally announced that it had recast the role of Javi Hernandez with newcomer Jacob Martinez, with Calderon making his final appearance as the character later this month and Martinez making his on-air debut on the Tuesday, June 30, episode of the Peacock-exclusive series.

Can those impacted by this issue please provide screenshots of what you see when you attempt to log in? I have seen several comments about the issues, but I can't do anything about them without something to show our tech support. The only thing I've seen is about Error 500, but that's a separate issue from the one people are talking about right now. To be clear, I appreciate all the explanations about what you have experienced, but I need something to look at to resolve it.

Beginning Friday, May 1, Canadian fans of “All My Children” will be able to stream a select number of classic episodes from the iconic daytime drama series that ran for more than 41 years on ABC, courtesy of Pluto TV Canada. According to the service, the dedicated “All My Children” channel, which has been a roaring success internationally for BEONDTV+, will be one of several dedicated channels joining the streamer to kick off the new month, including Pluto TV Cars and Hardcore Pawn. BEONDTV+, which in September 2025 announced it had acquired international access rights to a select number of episodes of the series and made them available as an On Demand option, launched the 24/7 streaming channel exclusively for fans outside the U.S. in January. “To our loyal U.S. fans … don’t worry, we’re not giving up. Stay tuned!” read a notice posted on Instagram at the time by BEONDTV+ and the official account for the show’s late creator, Agnes Nixon. “Travel back with us to 1995, revisiting the 25th anniversary season … beloved characters, action-packed drama and sizzle a plenty!” “Always Excited To Spend Time With ‘All My Children’ Family!” said former cast member Eva LaRue (ex-Maria Santos Grey) in a post on Instagram last week, where she could be seen in photos joining former castmates Rebecca Budig (ex-Greenlee Smythe; Taylor Hayes, “The Bold and the Beautiful”) and Susan Lucci (ex-Erica Kane) for a meal while out celebrating Lucci’s second memoir, “La Lucci.” Hollywood Publicist, Anthony Turk, was also in attendance with the ladies. “NEW All My Children channel streaming classic episodes 24/7 now on Pluto TV Canada!” continued LaRue. “Fingers crossed to watch soon on Pluto US!” Closing out her post, LaRue also noted that Lifetime remains in active development on a pair of “All My Children” movies, whose involvement also includes former cast members and “Live with Kelly and Mark” hosts Kelly Ripa (ex-Hayley Vaughan Santos) and Mark Consuelos (ex-Mateo Santos). Premiering January 5, 1970, on ABC, “All My Children” became one of the most popular daytime dramas ever created, making household names of several of its cast, including Melissa Leo (ex-Linda Warner), Michael B. Jordan (ex-Reggie Montgomery), the late Chadwick Boseman (ex-Reggie Montgomery), Amanda Seyfried (ex-Joni Stafford), Josh Duhamel (ex-Leo du Pres), Sarah Michelle Gellar (ex-Kendall Hart), the late Michelle Trachtenberg (ex-Lily Montgomery) and Lucci herself, among others. The soap opera concluded its television run on September 23, 2011, following ABC’s decision to cancel the series alongside Nixon’s other creation airing on the network at the time, “One Life to Live,” which itself concluded on January 13, 2012, after 43 years on the air. Depending on the channel’s success abroad, there is hope that Disney, which retains full U.S. rights to the libraries of both “All My Children” and “One Life to Live,” will see continued fan interest by making more episodes available and giving the go-ahead for American viewers to access the show through either a dedicated channel on the U.S. edition of Pluto TV, or other similar options. As has been the case since its launch, Pluto TV Canada provides free access to all programming, including its dedicated channels, with the motto, “Stream now. Pay never.” Note: The post Dedicated ‘All My Children’ Streaming Channel Launching On Pluto TV Canada first appeared on Soap Opera Network. Read More

While his casting had long been rumored, actor Jacob Martinez will officially assume the role of Javi Hernandez on “Days of our Lives,” beginning with the Tuesday, June 30 episode of the Peacock-exclusive series. He replaces Al Calderon, who exited last year to join NBC’s primetime drama “Brilliant Minds” as a series regular for the show’s second season. Shortly after it was announced that Calderon would exit the series, a spokesperson 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.” Calderon’s final episodes as Javi Hernandez are slated to air in May 2026, with the character taking time away from Salem until the AKA Talent Agency and Impact Artists Group-repped Martinez plays out Javi’s return after the character departs following his breakup with Leo Stark (Greg Rikaart) and learning his father, Gabriel, had suffered a heart attack.= A graduate of the American Musical and Dramatic Academy (AMDA), this marks Martinez’ first foray in daytime and his first major acting role. His other credits include the Erwin Ordoñez-directed short “Memory Swim” and the play “Dog Sees God: Confessions of a Teenage Blockhead.” He also starred in the New York-based Joe’s Pub at The Public Theater production of the musical “In Pieces: The Musical.” Several cast members from “Days of our Lives” are already following Martinez on Instagram, including Calderon. Deadline first reported Martinez’ casting as Javi. Note: The post Jacob Martinez Cast As New Javi Hernandez On ‘Days Of Our Lives’, Replacing Al Calderon first appeared on Soap Opera Network.
