fyi, as of Sept. 30, 2025, imgur.com embeds no longer display in the UK. (This isn't just on SON. It's for *all* websites viewed from the UK.) https://help.imgur.com/hc/en-us/articles/41592665292443-Imgur-access-in-the-United-Kingdom statement from imgur: "From September 30, 2025, access to Imgur from the United Kingdom is no longer available. UK users will not be able to log in, view content, or upload images. Imgur content embedded on third-party sites will not display for UK users." BBC explains why: https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c4gzxv5gy3qo The UK's data watchdog, the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), said it recently notified the platform's parent company, MediaLab AI, of plans to fine Imgur after probing its approach to age checks and use of children's personal data. I guess that means that anything from imgur already embedded here at SON (and everywhere) won't display to UK viewers. And any poster from *outside* the UK embedding a new image in a new post might just assume it's fine, and it will be fine to see for everyone -- except for anyone in the UK looking at the posts. Apparently this will be the case until/unless imgur comes to an agreement with the UK about age checks. Well, gosh. Around 99% of the images I post are via imgur. So I guess if you are in the UK and see a blank space or a missing image, that might be why.

“My mom began every morning with The New York Times crossword — in pen,” her daughter said. “She was a lifelong, voracious reader; a lover of poetry (especially Seamus Heaney) and literature; and a lifelong seeker of knowledge. She read the Bible and the Quran not for faith, but as literature. She loved architecture, art, history, flowers — she had a great green thumb — antiques and beauty in all forms.”

LOL I agree. I'm more interested in the actress' father Billy Burke than I am in the character Charlotte.

Didn't realize she's the daughter of actor Billy Burke who played the fire chief on Fire Country until his character was killed off. His acting really impressed me on that show. I don't really care about the character of Charlotte. At all. But I liked the photo.

It means more than words can ever express. I love you Dad!!! 💙 #days #dool #daysofourlives #peacock

Confirmed that Hank Northrup is playing Liam Selejko. More on the Selejko family history upthread here

(Budig's husband)

Yeah it seems likely that Jeremy Horton and Liam Selejko returning/debuting close in time would indicate a connection via Mike and Ivy. If Melissa returns, then would she bring her son Nathan? Is Nathan Pete's son? Seems like Nathan could be another adoptive/step/half cousin/brother to Jeremy and Liam? (but I don't know if it was ever clarified onscreen who Nathan's father is).

https://www.instagram.com/p/DQZRZj1Dibb/ deidrehall_official It’s finally here!! Hank Northrop joins Days!!! He’s yummy in this ‘full circle’ moment. Enjoy. Let me know what you think!

Josh Griffith got it into his head that he wanted Billy Flynn on Y&R, and Flynn agreed to the offer. Then, before anything was finalized, JG started writing Aristotle Dumas as the the Big Mysterious Billionaire. JG didn't account for the fact that Billy Flynn still had obligations at DAYS and would be filming at Days into April 2025. JG went full out promoting Aristotle Dumas in the writing -- to the point where we had the cast reciting the name Aristotle Dumas ad nauseum for months (823 times!) as @ChickenNuggetz92 archived here https://x.com/YRVault/status/1940163489252639007 JG also planned this Cane/Lily storyline, without realizing that CK would be pregnant. Obviously CK would have privately told JG as soon as she could, but still ... I'm sure that required a change in his planned arcs for the year. I don't think this was posted here at SON ... In this July 15th Jermaine Rivers (Damian) interview, he says he was told in April by JG that his character would be killed off; and that they didn't tell him this when he was first hired, but that Josh Griffith told him in April that it had *always* been JG's plan to kill off Damian: Quoting article: It was at the end of April that Rivers was informed of the grisly direction the storyline was going to take for his alter ego, when Griffith had a chat with the actor. “We had a great talk,” Rivers says. “He was like, ‘Hey, look, couldn’t tell you then, but this has always been the plan. There’s nothing that you’ve done wrong. You’ve been amazing. But this was the story that we’re telling.’ I was like, ‘I get it.’ ” End quote. https://www.soapoperadigest.com/content/yrs-jermaine-rivers-on-damians-murder-let-me-have-a-great-death-exclusive/

There's been mention in these Y&R episode discussion threads wondering why are they pivoting Cane to be with Phyllis? It's stupid, and maybe it's just to give Stafford something to do. But I have been thinking for months that it's because of CK's pregnancy, but I didn't post that until now because of the rules of waiting until the actor announces.

Remember the Dumas France estate set had an offscreen swimming pool (splashing sound effects could be heard, characters had wet hair, and were sunning themselves onscreen in beach chairs.) Sally and Audra and the men were in bathing suits, but Lily wore a beach coverup. To lessen the effect of the differences, most of the actresses wore coverups in those "poolside" scenes in France. On the French traincar set, the Lily/Damian lovemaking scene faded to black earlier that might have been expected. But all of that could have been a wardrobe choice or a camera/direction choice. For a while now, Christel Khalil has airing as Lily behind large purses and other props. I appreciate the discretion in not posting speculations here -- because at SON we know it's not kosher to announce an actor's health status until the actor themself or their family makes a statement. I wasn't going to say anything . . . but Christel Khalil's pregnancy is unconcealed in the new BTS Thriller videos posted above. . . -- to the point where Mara Levinsky of SOD is now writing about CK's pregnancy -- Mara considers the video to be CK announcing it. https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:psz47nkhjnxpru7nrc3ain3b/post/3m46yrohqs22h https://www.soapoperadigest.com/content/young-and-restlesss-christel-khalil-lily-is-pregnant-with-her-third-child/

I have been waiting for you to mention that! I happened to see the clip just last month, and have waited until you saw the scene before posting it.

Rachel Boyd posted that on her own Instagram stories feed. The DaysPeacock show IG account often copy/pastes actor ig story posts onto its show ig account --- but it doesn't necessarily mean anything. I think the show's social media account person just randomly reposts stuff from actors' posts, if the account person thinks it's fun or whatever. As to why Rachel posted that on her own account, I don't know.

Liam Selejko is a new character from a mid-1980s family.
