Note the comments section on Eva Mendes' ig post. Martha Madison (ig marth27) says: "He can be my new brother"

https://www.instagram.com/p/DWZo3FnDsad/ entertainmenttonight (Entertainment Tonight) Here's hoping this leads to a guest star role...⁠ ⁠ After giving a shoutout to soap opera legend Deidre Hall on the Happy Sad Confused podcast, Ryan Gosling was invited by the actress to visit the set of 'Days of Our Lives.'⁠ ⁠ And he said: YES!⁠ ⁠⁠ "Deidre Hall, are you kidding me?! A very enthusiastic yes to a very cordial invitation to visit you on set," he said in a video shared by Eva Mendes. "I will be there to thank you in person for being my OG acting inspiration. It wasn't Marlon Brando in 'On the Waterfront.' It was 𝘺𝘰𝘶!"⁠ ⁠ 👉️ Swipe to see the full exchange. ⁠

In this July 2025 interview with Peter Bergman, he addresses his working relationship with Eric Braeden. It's very classy and I think it puts the rumors to bed. Bergman say that he and Braeden have different internal processes for preparing for a scene, and how he learned to adapt to that. Bergman explains in depth, from the 26:20 mark to the 32:00 mark. Worth watching!

Interesting. I remember that, at some time in the past, Australia used to get the entire extended episode on their broadcast or streaming service there. But the same episodes were cut for time in the USA to the usual 18 minutes (30 minutes including commercials). The cut scenes were referred to as "bonus scenes" and were sometimes posted onto the social media of various B&B Australia viewers. So I wonder if the newly released "director's cut" extended episodes would be those?

This is amazing. Thanks for posting the youtube link. So worth watching!

Tabyana Ali just posted on IG about her 4th anniversary at GH. There's a bunch of pics and vids within her post, including the Times Square billboard of Sprina that fans paid for. (I don't think she's advocating for/against a Spencer return. I think she simply included the billboard as a thing that happened. She has pics and vids with various costars through the years.) https://www.instagram.com/p/DWUcJCigdM7/ tabyanaali March 25, 2026 4 years flew by faster than I ever expected. So much learning, growth, understanding, and exploring along the way what a journey it’s been.

Marissa Reyes exit message with vids, says it was her choice to leave. https://www.instagram.com/p/DWPT__2EhK1/ marissarys (Marissa Reyes) March 23, 2026 In honor of my final episode of @dayspeacock airing this week, I thought that I’d share some memories from my wrap day! :’) It has been an absolute honor to be a part of such a legacy, and I am overwhelmed with gratitude for what this opportunity has taught and given me. Although it was my choice—and mine alone—to make my exit from the show, I will always look back on this chapter with complete and honest gratitude and affection. It’s bittersweet to see the end of this chapter, but I am over the moon excited to welcome in the next. Here’s to what’s coming!! XX ⏳🤍

Ha! Deidre has guested on the primetime show "Hacks" (as the a fictional version of herself Deidre) who is the mother of a "Hacks" character (Link). Someone elsewhere online pointed out that although Days couldn't afford Gosling as Eric Brady, maybe Gosling could guest on Hacks as another son of Deidre there?

Deidre put this on her ig stories.

How to believably depict sexy times without showing anything:

I just re-read Budig's husband's bio. He's literally the Chief Marketing Officer, "who leads brand strategy and multiplatform marketing for the TV Media division of Paramount, a Skydance Corporation. In this role, he oversees marketing across all CBS‑branded businesses"

True, Budig and Rikaart were real-life neighbors (don't know if they still are); and also real-life friends. I remember many years ago (maybe 10 or 15 years ago?) they would sometimes jokingly tease each other on social media.

Budig's husband Mike Benson is a Paramount producer. Edit: correction: the Paramount marketing executive. Unlikely they'd drop her. https://www.imdb.com/name/nm7575642/bio/ https://www.paramountpressexpress.com/cbs-entertainment/executives/?view=mike-benson
