ALL: Soap stars who reportedly didnt get along on set which soap actor feuds were real and which were just fan rumors
DAYS The first one that come to mind that is allegedly still ongoing to this day is Deidre Hall and Suzanne Rogers. Despite rumors I've read on this site and others over the years, it's a mystery as to why. Even in their latest rare scene together with Susan Seaforth Hayes, it's obvious the two still have um... not so favorable things about each other.

Primetime Soaps
I happened to come across the unaired pilot of "Nurses" from 2007 starring Eliza Dushku, Gregory Harrison (Gregory Chase, GH), Drew Sidora, Ramon Rodriguez, Melinda Page Hamilton, and Sara Rue. The show centers on a group of nurses, amongst them Dushku as a former wild child turned nurse of the hospital run by her chief of staff father, played by Harrison.

All-Proposed plots/storylines that never happened.
A few years ago on General Hospital, I remember certain characters reacting to it being unseasonably at wintertime, and I wondered if somehow they were going to bring back the weather machine since Victor Cassadine was back on the canvas in the form of Charles Shaughnessy; however, that seemed to be dropped along with some other stories around that time too.

Thanks for letting it be known!!!

Loving/The City Discussion Thread
I remember Jane on SoapTalk talking about how she was at a dealership with her son and was trying to buy a car while at the same time GH called her to come back in 2003. And then she went to her son to get out of a particular car, and I suppose she bought a newer/more expensive model.

GH: February 2026 Discussion Thread
I think the issue with Isaiah is the same one they have with Kai. They just think, “Let’s bring on these two Black men and let them do the work.” However, like you said about Isaiah, both of them are underdeveloped on their own. I mean, let’s see Kai hanging out with Gio, confiding in him, etc., as well as learning more about his family. They could develop a friendship between Isaiah and Lucas and have him do the same—open up about his own issues too. And regarding the baby, I allow it because the last time a Black child was born on this show, Felicia Minei Behr was producing All My Children and George H.W. Bush was president. Although I wish that child was on the canvas in Isaiah’s place.

DAYS: Actor already exiting!
In the last decade or so, the male Hortons haven't fared well, i.e., Lucas, Nick, Mike, etc., and now it seems Jeremy is in that latest pool. For starters, Jeremy should've come back as a hotshot doctor, but like his father, grandfather, and great-grandfather before him, he has a social conscience when it comes to treating patients. He was there just to be the red herring for the cousinmance of the century of Alex and Stephanie. 🙄

ALL: Characters that fizzled
The character that came to my mind was Logan Armstrong from The Young and The Restless from 2007, played by Deanna Russo. She was a doctor who had stumbled upon Nick after he survived the Newman Jet crash somewhere. (I believe Joshua Morrow was going through contract negotiations at the time.) Anyway, it seemed like they were chem-testing them, even though Nick was already in the love triangle with Sharon and Phyllis. She somehow got him back home to Genoa City, in which Nick had amnesia for some sometime. Eventually, they settled Logan with Brad for a brief romance, until she left town to go to Doctors Without Borders. I also read up on her backstory, which involved a dead husband and kids.

Wow! I did not know that! Glad to see Cassandra doing well after that latest stint on Bild.

Loving/The City Discussion Thread
Thanks for breaking down the interview!!! Alan was asking people about Jean's work on Loving days before the interview, clear he didn't know much of his work. At times it makes me wish Alan would just produce these shows and let someone with knowledge of guests/shows with interviewing experience take over instead. But I do appreciate that he has managed to gather a lot of soap stars who haven't been in the public eye and give them a platform. Though I would love to hear from Noelle Beck, Christine Tudor Newman, Chris Marcantel, etc.

Looks like Jean LeClerc (ex-Jeremy Hunter/Gilbert) is going to be on The Locher Room on Thursday, January 8 at 7:30 p.m. ET I always wondered what ever happened to him.

I also remember those scenes when Michael, etc., would mention the name "Starr" on screen, they would silence them, likely due to the PP debacle. Eventually they just mentioned Starr as "Michael's Girlfriend" going forward.

THIS! My wishful casting for Avery Pohl will be an all grown up Sydney DiMera on Days Of Our Lives.

I always wanted Christina to come back as perhaps nicknamed "Tina" or even Chris" and have her be in the healthcare while you'll see the nature/nurture side of Lucy/Julie of her too.

GH: December 2025 Discussion Thread
I like those ideas too. I just think Michael needs a love interest that isn't a tortured heroine, which he's been getting since Abby, Starr, Sabrina, etc. I would pair him with a new character who is a Lucy Coe-esque/Sarah Brown's Carly-esque type ambitious schemer, in my opinion. Someone who could motivate him professionally and sexually too. And you can have Carly not like her because she sees "herself" in this girl 30 years ago. While Sonny, who sees something more positive in her, would be more supportive but would call Carly out on her dislike of her, reminding her of how she was. Meanwhile, you can have Willow being jealous of her with her and Michael going back and forth for a few months until hate sex occurs. Well, I did say decent Serena. 🤣 But I think Michael/Jacinda is a stopgap until Michael/Willow see the light or they bring back Sasha with baby Daisy.

The actress that plays Jacinda would've made a decent Serena Baldwin imo. But we know this show doesn't like to acknowledge her for "reasons."

Didn't Noelle Beck have this happened to her too on Loving? I remember Jessica Steen filled in for her during those miscarriage scenes.

Primetime stars - Their hits and misses...
One instantly came to my mind. Jimmy Smits Despite years of having success working in television, pretty much except for LA Law and NYPD Blue, he never got a long-term role on a long-lasting show. But I guess for every The West Wing, Dexter, and Sons of Anarchy, there was unfortunately a "Cane" (still pissed it got canceled despite getting 11 million viewers in 2007, though the writer's strike might've had an effect on its premature cancellation), The Get Down, and East New York.
