Update that Scarlett Spears is a voice actress in Toy Story 5. She voices Bonnie Anderson, the young girl who became the caretaker of Andy’s treasured toys.

Y&R: June 2026 Discussion Thread
Roger Howarth has gushed about the role and Josh Griffith in interviews. (sigh) Here are excerpts from two formerly spoilerish interviews March 31, 2026, SOD (link) there was a window where they hoped for Matt to return,” he explains. “So we scheduled ourselves to be back in Los Angeles for when that might be.” And once back in the studio, he hit the ground running.”It’s a really well-written role with very clear dynamics, so I felt very comfortable getting back to work. Comfortable and excited! I was definitely excited to get back to work.” _ _ _ “It’s a very fun part to play,” he grins. “And part of what makes it so fun is that it seems every character in the story [surrounding Matt’s return] seems to have an agenda that is not completely transparent to everybody else in the story. .” _ _ _ This time around, hints Howarth, “There’s a shift coming up in the story that’s been a lot of fun. They’ve given me some new people to bounce off of and I really appreciate what Josh [Griffith, executive producer/head writer] is doing. I hope the fans like it!” _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ April 27, 2026, tvinsider (link) For Howarth,. . . . . He is no stranger to playing soap villains but didn’t know what to expect when he first spoke with head writer and executive producer Josh Griffith last year. “I wasn’t told the specifics of what it would be, but I could read a sense of excitement in the voice of a guy who I totally trust, and Josh seemed really enthusiastic about it,” recalls Howarth. “I was just really pleased that he thought of me at all. It was kind of alluded to that Matt was a villain in the best sense, but I didn’t really realize the scope or the magnitude of his evil until I got until I got here, and then I was really happy to see just what a colorful past he’s had. It’s a great part.” - - putting his own stamp on the role came naturally. “I trust the writing and I think that the writers have a clear vision of who this guy is,” Howarth says. “I really just try to stick to what I could figure out from what they were writing rather than try to do what the other two actors who’ve played the part did.” That trust is rooted in a long-standing creative relationship with Griffith, whom he previously worked with on One Life to Live, where Howarth played the deeply complicated Todd Manning. “Josh Griffith was a really big part of the team that created Todd Manning, and he has a really good understanding of the darker parts of humanity and how they intermesh with the classic soap villains,” Howarth points out. “But he never loses sight of what motivates people and the human side to all humans.”

CBS soaps promo June 1, 2026 (BTG, B&B, Y&R)
This is like the CBS Daytime summer promos from several years ago -- a mishmosh of old random clips that are supposed to be "exciting". *** It seems thrown together because the B&B and Y&R scenes are more recent, and the BTG clips are older. "Let's see, what scenes does each show have laying around -- that have already aired -- that we can splice together?" Karla's singing is nice, so there's that. But it doesn't save this. *** I remember when Y&R would do that type of "exciting" promo that was random already-aired scenes, and there were several arrangements/variations, but they often included Chelsea screaming when Adam entered the building and it exploded. Like how many times can you put that in a promo? Seems like they're doing this with Dani at Bill&Haley's wedding, and the golf club in Bill's office.

All My Children Tribute Thread
This is great! I was watching live in those days, but AMC was in the middle of the day and I was a child, so I would have been in school and missed it. I could watch only in summers and on school vacation days. But yeah Susan and Karen's voices are unmistakable, even to someone slightly hearing impaired as I am. Now if it had aired summer of 1970, I would have seen it live!

B&B: June 2026 Discussion Thread
Yeah I was wondering that too. but . . . Eve Basler didn't work for a long while during her illness. However, I had noticed that she promoted things more recently. Seems like they laid her off after she got well and had been working a while? So maybe not related?
