Leslie: "But I deserve to be on the wall with King, Fauntroy, and Angelou. For I, too, have suffered."

I like that the Martin story hasn't been frequent. The nightmares are airing only periodically. Each time, we viewers see more of the accident or whatever happened. I think we might (or at least I might) be annoyed if we saw the nightmares too often. At this point, I've become more curious, and so, when it's finally revealed, I think the timing will be just right.

That's what I thought...

I am entertained by the Duprees.

My watching in that time period was sketchy. After high school, I didn't have a TV. I would watch in the dormitory common room my first year away from home, but then after that I lived in a rental with housemates who didn't want TV. I think I caught up on the soaps during school(univ) vacations, when visiting my sister's house. And then many many years later on soapnet? Not sure. I had no idea that Jeff ever tried suicide. Reading just now is the first I ever heard of that. Interesting. I will agree that Monica wanted Jeff out of the way so she could be with Rick, but she would have wanted him gone emotionally. But I don't remember watching Jeff having any medical issues, so I don't know if she would have wanted him dead.

Monday, after the party, Leslie showed up at the Duprees. Martin was with everyone as they listened to her for a bit. Then Martin said he was needed at home. Anita and Vernon knew he was upset and they were concerned. Vernon asked "Do you need Titus, or are you okay to drive?" Martin said he was okay and left to drive himself home. Either Titus is a chauffeur or just some helpful all-around employee.

Ben Collins, CEO of the company that owns The Onion, says they don't use A.I.

To clarify, they didn't really date. They pretended to be on a date once or twice due to a an interest in fooling someone else at the event/restaurant/whatever. It wasn't planned by them to be real. I think one of them became sort of interested at some point ?

Valerie Spencer, yes who had an affair with Dante, and sort-of dated Kristina when played by Lexi. But Valerie is first cousins with Carly and Lulu. Valerie's mother Pat was older sister of Bobbie and Luke.

The point of this was to telecast **LIVE** soccer matches from Europe. These particular matches of the Champions League are played Tuesday and Wednesday evenings -- at 8:00 pm France and Germany time (or 7:00 pm England and Portugal time). That translates to a start time of 3:00pm New York Time -- and also CBS includes a live pre-match show at 2:00pm New York Time.

Oh, I see! You posted this on the general retro soap thread because of the voiceover.

Jason47's episode summaries clarify everything. https://daytimeroyaltyonline.com/days-daily-summaries-1990-1999-t14806-s150.html The construction company is "AJ Construction" (AJ = Adrienne+Justin). Jencon Oil was building an oil refinery at the construction site. This was adjacent to the park. Kirk Geiger played the character Chad Webster. The character Chad was an actor in the movie being made. The child friend with Shawn-Douglas is his cousin Andrew Donovan. A few episodes prior, Andrew and Shawn-Douglas were at the park playing hide-and-seek. They wandered off where they shouldn't have gone, by slipping through the gate onto the construction site. Shawn-D fell into the hole at the oil refinery. There were several episodes of trying to rescue Shawn-D. Finally Carly rescued Shawn-D, but he was discovered to be deaf. Andrew felt bad, but Bo and Shane both understood that it was an accident. Carly later taught Shawn-D sign language. Shawn-D was played by Scott Groff. Andrew was played by Bradley Michael Pierce. pics here: https://web.archive.org/web/20070404163013/http://www.childrenofsalem.com/days/kids/shawnandrew/shawnandrew.html Larger context here: https://web.archive.org/web/20080614054207/http://www.bethsdayspage.com/days/riverfrontraider.htmlhttps://web.archive.org/web/20080614054207/http://www.bethsdayspage.com/days/riverfrontraider.html

We’re on a timeout today and tomorrow for UEFA ⚽️, so all the more time to watch/rewatch these past three scorching episodes🔥🔥🔥. What were some of your favorite moments? @beyondthegatescbs 📺📺🫧🫧🫧

Once the preemptions were announced, BTG cleverly marketed the episodes of Thursday May 1, Friday May 2, and Monday May 5 as a special must-see "3-episode arc".

That happens sometimes on cbs/paramount. Just refresh the page and it should work.

They returned May 2.

April 28: Leslie tells Eva "I know all about the Articulettes. Honey, please. I lost my virginity with Anita playing in the background, baby." Who knows what she meant by that. I had assumed that it meant that the music was playing on a device in the background, and not live, but who knows. Leslie has spun so many tales.

Nick told Victoria that he and Sharon had married in England. Victoria was shocked. Then she realized he was kidding. He confirmed it was a joke and they're platonic. I don't even know what to say about that.

MVJ was used to these soccer disruptions from when she wrote for B&B. However, in 2022, 2023, and 2024, the soccer disruptions happened for the "Round of Sixteen" over a couple of weeks in February, and the quarterfinals in March, and then the semifinals in April -- many dates. All on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. Many soap episodes were affected in Feb, March, and April. The Talk was completely preempted on the affected dates. B&B and Y&R were disrupted in western timezones. But for 2025, it was structured differently. There was a new round that took place before the "Round of Sixteen". That changed the schedule. CBS broadcast TV didn't air the new round. Nor did they air the Round of Sixteen. Nor did they air the quarterfinals. In fact, all the *early* announcements and press releases said *ONLY* ParamountPlus for everything. And indeed there were no broadcast disruptions in February or March. And no broadcast disruptions for the quarterfinals in the first half of April. At some point during the process, CBS decided that the *semifinals* (end of April and start of May) would be on broadcast TV, but that wasn't announced in the initial press release early in the year. No idea when this was decided. So these semifinals were same as 2022, 2023, and 2024: disruptions for B&B and Y&R in western timezones. BeyondTheGates is in TheTalk's old timeslot, thus fully preempted. I know nothing of BTG/BeyondTheGates behind-the-scenes. I have no idea what CBS Sports communicated to the soaps. No idea what was said or when about the semifinals. But during the BTG April 11th episode, Leslie was holding up an invitation to the anniversary party, and the invitation said April 29th, 2025. So that leads me to **SPECULATE** that at least back in January when the April 11th BTG episode was filmed, the BTG show hadn't originally expected an April 29 preemption for soccer? screengrab from final 2 minutes of April 11th: https://i.imgur.com/9ZQkLEG.png

As was stated: Due to this being a live broadcast of soccer from Europe, Y&R and B&B were disrupted in western timezones. Here is more specific information: In most of Mountain Daylight Time: Y&R aired in full before the soccer prematch show, B&B was preempted. In Arizona Standard Time, and in Pacific Daylight, it varied a lot. Quite a few channels had alternate broadcast times for either/both soaps, and/or there were airings on sister channels. In a few locations, neither B&B nor Y&R aired. In Alaska Daylight Time, there was no local broadcast of either soap (although some viewers may have caught soaps on an Eastern USA satellite feed). In Hawaii Standard Time, both soaps aired at normal times after soccer. ** Disclaimer that this info is based on analysis of each station's TV listings in these timezones, but the listings might have been incorrect, or changed. Or I could have easily made an error.
