Bright Eyes

It's a true tragedy someone as hot as hell and in the prime of their life as Al Calderon is going to be wasted on a rotted nuisance pushing 50. I just hope by the time the new regime finally kicks in, all hope won't be lost.

She's the most dynamic actress/character on the show. The fact they possibly want to kill her off is insane. Only clowns running things these days. I think I only care about a quarter of the cast now.

Sad to hear. Thanks for letting us know.

Would it be overshadowing to have Dick Van Dyke return for John's memorial? I wonder how they'll reference his character at all. I would at least have him be an off-screen presence.

The talk about who could lead to show made me realize Eric Martsolf is older now than Macdonald Carey was when the show started, which is a bit of a mindfreak. Of course, if we're going by that the character that should have been poised to take that mantle is Dr. Mike Horton. It's so said TPTB on most shows struggle with the characters that are "supposed" to take over. It rarely ever happens properly.

Wonderful news. Always especially happy to see Christie Clark. It does make me wonder though what's happened with Patsy Pease. She's hasn't done a guest stint since 2016 and she used to be a go to.

The editing issue is ridiculous. Anyway, thank you finishing my latest batch of requests amidst all the others, especially with the loss of this past week. Since you add so much to profiles now, I'll request by 5, instead of 10, as I go through the DAYS actors cast list. Next requests: Jeffrey Williams Brian Andrews Nadyne Turney Victor Holchak John Amour

Though one day in the future it could lead to Sonny going out like Nucky Thompson. (I know, I know, but I can dream.)

The ultimate soap opera hero has done all he could and chosen to ascend. R.I.P Drake Hogestyn, you were one of kind and charismatic as hell!

Which epic Undertaker/Mankind match is it? Hell in a Cell, Buried Alive, the boiler room match, or another one completely?

I've finally completed my thorough watch of silent films up to the year 1919, and since I finished the first full decade of feature films, I thought it'd be fun to share my choices for the would be Academy Awards ... Best Picture 1911: DANTE'S INFERNO (L'Inferno) - dir. Francesco Bertolini, Adolfo Padovan (ITL) 1912: FROM THE MANGER TO THE CROSS - dir. Sidney Olcott (CAN) 1913: ATLANTIS - dir. August Blom (DEN) 1914: CABIRIA - dir. Giovanni Pastrone (ITL) 1915: THE BIRTH OF A NATION - dir. D.W. Griffith (USA) 1916: JOAN THE WOMAN - dir. Cecil B. DeMille (USA) 1917: A MAN THERE WAS (Terje Vigen) - dir. Victor Sjöström (SWE) 1918: STELLA MARIS - dir. Marshall Neilan (USA) 1919: J'ACCUSE - dir. Abel Gance (FRA) Lead Actor: 1915: GEORGE BEBAN (The Italian) 1916: WILLIAM S. HART (Hell's Hinges) 1917: VICTOR SJÖSTRÖM (A Man There Was) 1918: RAYMOND HATTON (The Whispering Chorus) 1919: ROMUALD JOUBÉ (J'accuse) Lead Actress: 1915: THEDA BARA (A Fool There Was) 1916: MARY MACLAREN (Shoes) 1917: MARY PICKFORD (The Little American) 1918: NORMA TALMADGE (The Forbidden City) 1919: LILLIAN GISH (Broken Blossoms) Supporting Actor: 1915: SESSUE HAYAKAWA (The Cheat) 1916: EUGENE PALLETT (Going Straight) 1917: JACK HOLT (The Little American) 1918: GORDON GRIFFITH (Tarzan of the Apes) 1919: DONALD CRISP (Broken Blossoms) Supporting Actress: 1915: MAE MARSH (The Birth of a Nation) 1916: CONSTANCE TALMADGE (Intolerance: Love's Struggle Throughout the Ages) 1917: VOLA VALE (The Silent Man) 1918: DOROTHY GISH (Hearts of the World) 1919: CLARINE SEYMOUR (True Heart Susie) Don't worry, I won't become annoying about this as I also have lists of golden age films and modern classics to go with my silent watching.

I use proboards, a free message board anyone can create, for myself when it comes to some lists I like to keep track of in my spare time. That could be a potential option and you'd probably just have to copy and paste the profiles.

Fuuuuuuuuck! He's unstoppable!

Current cast missing from that list: Suzanne Rogers (Maggie), Mary Beth Evans (Kayla), Drake Hogestyn (John), Lauren Koslow (Kate), Tamara Braun (Ava), Greg Rikaart (Leo), Madelyn Kientz (Sophia), Louis Tomeo (Aaron), Jonah Robinson (Mark), AnnaLynn McCord ("Abby"), and Serena Scott Thomas (Fiona). Obviously, some of these people could still be announced at a later date.

The promo is undoubtedly going to give us a glimpse at Doug's memorial and I won't be okay. 😪

I just hope none of the blowback effects NAC's surging career. He deserves to become a star!

If Rosalind was potentially meant to be a nod to Rosalind Cash, I'm going to assume Anita is meant to be a nod to the wonderful Anita Baker. Much more apropos, IMO.

Why isn't Diane, Alexis' lawyer?

Long live Latoya!

Thanks for posting. Is the guy between the DePaiva's from OLTL? I don't recognize him.

Greta von Amberg come on down! (She was literally just the first random character that popped into my head.)

Make her the Macdonald Carey of the show and have her say some soapy introduction in the opening.

Just a simple and positive post to say how all these announcements today have only gotten me more excited for the show. I absolutely love that Tamara Tunie will be the face of Beyond the Gates. The title change is a good sign because for the US all the most successful soaps have a soapy title, whereas something simple like 'The Gates,' where it's just a place, have usually failed. I always found it interesting that UK was the opposite, but I digress. Anyway, they truly fed us well today and I couldn't be happier.

Someone play that Tiktok sound ... "Did you know you have 30 minutes?"

I'm glad B&B is going back to its bread and butter, ridiculous soap names!
