David Lewis was the only Edward to me. After years of watching him, I just could not get used to John Ingle in the role, at all.

Yup. I was totally wrong!

UK "Reform Party" would create ICE-style agency https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2026/feb/22/reform-uk-ice-style-agency-end-leave-to-remain-zia-yusuf

Someone posted on the writers thread that today Tuesday Feb. 24 was the first episode with Noel Maxam credited as co-EP, and Janet Spellman-Drucker's name removed.

Since credits are public, I guess I can say that per the closing credits Feb. 13, Storms is on contract. Per her ig, she's commuting to her home in Nashville.

re: the discussion of Brenda Dickson and finances: Starting in late September 2025, she has been posting about her financial situation on ig, giving periodic updates, that something had happened with her home, what she claims was an illegal foreclosure, and something about things stolen, and she is/was homeless? with an ongoing legal battle, still ongoing in February 2026. Way too convoluted for me to follow what she was saying. You can read her ig posts https://www.instagram.com/brendadicksonactress/

He had such a meltdown about this. In his reaction statement, he literally said he's entitled to destroy other countries (technically he meant destroy economically; but obviously emotionally he feels he should be allowed to fully destroy anyone or anything or any country). He also insulted the Supreme Court Justices who ruled against him, and their families.

So this is an invitation to the State of The Union speech at the Capitol building on Tuesday night Feb. 24. Tr*mp says he'll send a military plane to bring the hockey team there. He wants them in the room to prop himself up on TV. Should be interesting because traditionally the entire Supreme Court is in attendance at the S.O.T.U. speech. I wouldn't be surprised if he rants about them during his speech.

This wasn't said; but it was somewhat like the old Tr*mp "locker room talk" excuse, with the male hockey players laughing

FBI director Kash Patel used an expensive government plane to go to the Olympics. His office denied he did that. However there are multiple videos of him partying in the men's locker room with the USA men's hockey team after the team won the gold medal. Then we learned that Patel got Tr*mp on the phone in the locker room, to invite the USA men's hockey team to to the State of the Union address Feb. 24. (Tr*mp complained he'd have to invite the USA women's gold-medal-winning team as well) full rollingstone article without paywall https://archive.is/SV9HY https://www.today.com/news/sports/womens-hockey-declines-trump-invitation-state-union-rcna260317

February 22-23, 2026 This blizzard is officially the greatest single snowstorm in the history of Rhode Island, according to the National Weather Service https://forecast.weather.gov/product.php?site=NWS&product=RER&issuedby=PVD UPDATED snowfall stats for Providence, Rhode Island: The Blizzard of 2026 broke several snowfall records at Rhode Island T.F. Green International Airport in Providence: - Storm total snowfall (Feb. 22 and Feb. 23, 2026) of 37.9 inches broke the record for the greatest single snowstorm on record, which was 28.6 inches set during the blizzard of `78, on February 6-7, 1978. - Single-day snowfall (Feb. 23) of 35.5 inches broke the record one-day snowfall, which was 19.0 inches set during the Blizzard of `96, on January 8, 1996. - Finally, the daily snowfall of 35.5 inches broke the record snowfall for February 23, which was just 3.8 inches in 1967. The winds were so high that the City of Providence had to give the snowplow drivers a break for a few hours -- because it was too dangerous to drive the plows in the high wind. They resumed plowing later. https://www.instagram.com/p/DVHIBj_j6H5/

oooh good point, remember Joey had "eyes at" the hospital and he knew about Doug hurting his hand (or something else about Doug) -- whatever it was, Doug thought it was a private moment at the hospital, but Joey knew. Either spies or cameras, it wasn't specified what, but Joey directly told Doug "I have eyes there and everywhere" or something to that effect. So good point that Joey might know (from cameras or spies) about SPS messing with the potassium for Laura.

It's not even "lending" since she's recurring on Days. She's already free to work wherever.

There's already a Stacy Haiduk thread here: https://boards.soapoperanetwork.com/topic/69774-yr-multisoap-actor-returns-after-10-years-for-an-arc/ She has been recurring on Days for years. She'll continue to recur on Days while she does the arc on Y&R.

This is all so interesting to read this thread. in the early 2000s, there were daily reruns of Sisters on Lifetime or Soapnet (or both). That is how I watched the entire series. I wasn't on any messageboards that discussed it, and didn't follow industry news, so I wasn't aware of anything behind-the-scenes at that time. It was one of my favorite shows but I had nobody to discuss it with. I haven't seen it since, but I adored Sela Ward as Teddy, and never forgot her. It's been over 20 years since I've seen the show, but I appreciate reading this thread. I remember the recasting of Reed was confusing, I loved Ashley Judd in the role.

^ I mean, of course it's a horrid time to visit the U.S. This article is what you send your acquaintance who wants to visit as a tourist if they think "that wouldn't happen to me".

Real reasons NOT to visit the USA even if you think you'll be fine. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/feb/21/karen-newton-valid-visa-detained-ice
