Jacob, observing how Kat is always plotting, says to Kat: You have a lot in common with Leslie.

My personal thoughts on the Bistro party scenes with Jack/Jennifer/Steve/Kayla/Stephanie/Alex: Where is JJ in this Johnson family gathering? Are Steve and Jack going to acknowledge that their sister Adrienne raised Alex as her son? And that Stephanie is dating a member of their family, even if not blood-related. (yeah I know they won't say it, but I'm saying it). But still, where is JJ? Maybe JJ is in the episode but not in the batch of photos? After all the time has passed since Jack raped Kayla, I can understand it if she were being perhaps coldly polite in group settings. But personally, I feel weird when they are shown happily adjacent in scenes like this:

omg Mia Korf's Blair in her first episode! I've heard so much about her but I've never actually seen any of this actress' scenes until just now!

It was written in that Tomas and Eva like reading books and listening to audio books by the author "Carl Ivati" who writes romance novels in the fantasy genre. In one episode, Kat is asking Thomas about himself, and Tomas replies that he reads Carl Ivati books because likes reading about lovers finding each other across different dimensions. For that first episode, I missed it until someone pointed it out, and then I rewatched and the name was obvious in the closed-captioning. Ron didn't write that episode. In a separate episode, which Ron did the breakdown for: Eva told Tomas that the first book in author Carli Ivati's latest series is called "Mercy and Goodness" and it's all about how the couple first met and how they got separated, (Eva gushes about it) and she says it has twists and turns, and she will lend it to him -- and meanwhile, Kat secretly enters Eva's room to search for evidence against Eva; and while searching, Kat notices that Eva's copy of the "Mercy and Goodness" book is in hardcover, so Kat scoffs to herself that Eva is "basic". And then Kat has to hide when Eva and Tomas arrive in the room for Eva to lend Tomas the book.

The last paragraph: To the fans of Y&R, who are speculating about who he'll be playing, Flynn says, "I hope you enjoy it. I put the work in and I'm giving it my all, so please be kind."

Photos for Friday June 13 (apparently ? ? ) The soap outlets (mistakently) labeled these for Thursday June 12 but these are actuallyfor Friday June 13, based on the daily spoilers for each date. https://soaphub.com/days-of-our-lives/spoilers-days/preview-jealous-ej-catches-belle-shawn/ Police station: Jada/Shawn. Jada/Belle. Jada/Shawn/Belle. Square: Shawn/Belle. EJ noticing Shawn/Belle. Belle/EJ. Square: Xander with a bag of something he purchased. Square: EJ/Xander. Outside the pub: Kayla/Xander. At the Titan office: Alex/Stephanie trying to be sexual, as Kate walks in. The funeral attendees Belle/Shawn/Kayla are still wearing their same wardrobe, so it's the same Salem day. Jada is wearing black at the police station. Stephanie is wearing black at the office.

Arturo Flores, the mayor of Huntington Park and a combat veteran who served in Iraq and Afghanistan as a marine, appealed directly to his active duty “brothers” deployed to Los Angeles: "These are Americans. Whether they have a document or they don’t, you’re dealing with Americans. So please remember that if you’re ever put in a situation or asked to do something, remember, you are dealing with Americans." "When we lifted our hands and we swore the oath to defend the Constitution and to defend this country, that oath was to the American people. It was not to a dictator, it was not to a tyrant, it was not the president. It was to the American people."

I'm not interested in Josslyn Jacks being in the WSB. I hope Cat is not connected to the ISA..

Harvey Weinstein interrupting BTG? ugh.

https://x.com/TVInsider/status/1932842655219666946 Jack Wagner Explains Nick’s Surprise Return.. in Italy! https://www.tvinsider.com/1196817/bold-and-the-beautiful-jack-wagner-return-nick-brooke-italy-details/ Wagner's concept who Nick Marone would be now and what he told Brad Bell: I wanted this character to be different, because he lived on the Shady Marlin when I was on the show, and I had a little beard and I smoked,” Wagner points out. “I said, ‘Brad, I think this guy’s got to be more sophisticated. He owns and runs Marone Industry. I think his dress code is more stylized. He’s a shipping tycoon. He’s confident. When he comes back, he has the ability to charm Brooke [Logan, Katherine Kelly Lang]. He has the ability to take moments and be very intimate with her about the truth. And when Ridge comes in, it’s got to be like a fly on his shoulder. He fears nothing.’ Nick’s primary motivation [of] why he’s back [is that] he tells Brooke, ‘I’ve heard that your heart’s broken again, and I’m here to try to wake you up out of this toxic pattern you’ve got going on with Ridge and the Forrester family,’ which gave me a lot of different layers to play, not only with Kelly, but also with Thorsten [Kaye, Ridge Forrester]. I loved it.

Week of June 16: A Dumas gala and the Billy Flynn debut source: tvguide/soapcentral interview with Billy Flynn, on casting thread here: https://boards.soapoperanetwork.com/topic/68394-daysyr-casting-shocker/?do=findComment&comment=2029526

TV Guide interview with Billy Flynn from TV Guide print magazine issue dated June 16 quoted by Michael Maloney for soapcentral https://www.soapcentral.com/young-and-restless/news-billy-flynn-speaks-out-joining-the-young-restless-leaving-days-lives Flynn does not reveal who he'll be playing on Y&R. Flynn is "set to debut the week of June 16. That coincides with the big gala that Aristotle Dumas is set to throw." "I love the people at [DAYS]," "but I felt like my version of Chad had run its course. It wasn't for money. I wanted to feel excited again about the work, and I wanted to work with different people and learn more." In the interview, it says that Josh Griffith reached out to Flynn directly. "The universe works in mysterious ways, and Josh called at the right time," Flynn adds. The actor says there's a certain gamble in leaving a role he's been very successful in for a new part, but he feels this is the right move. "So, my wife and I talked, and I made the decision to take the jump," he says. "I'm really glad I did." On his first day, he worked with Eric Braeden.

Andrew has to be there for Paul, *if* we see a wedding. Hope had to be there for Bo for Bo's illness. None of the spouses of the other returns were shown over past two weeks. We saw: Ciara but not Ben. Eric but not Nicole. Shane but not Kimberly. Carrie but not Austin. Will but not Sonny. Anna but not Tony. Regarding Tony: Obviously they wouldn't have Nicole, due to Ari Z's legal situation still unresolved. But my point is, at least they were consistent in having all the spouses missing these recent weeks, unless they were needed for Pandrew and Bope.

Julie was in Monday's episode as the funeral guests were arriving. She wasn't shown Tues. or Wed. photos https://i.imgur.com/ijOIAoU.png https://wornontv.net/518642/

As said above Access Hollywood said the funeral would air June 9 & 10, but the funeral actually aired June 9, 10 & 11. Their preview video included some funeral footage, so perhaps that entire Access Hollywood segment that that recently aired, was filmed back in September. *A few* of the spoiler pics that multiple outlets (including SOD) announced as being for Tues. June 10, actually aired Wed. June 11. Since multiple outlets made that error, I speculate that the photos were correctly labeled by JPI Photography Studios as being for a specific episode at the time of filming, but some of the scenes were *maybe* later split/rearranged during the editing process into different episodes. Nobody's fault about the dates confusion. A lot of cast/crew/staff/writers were all grieving; and also adjusting for the returns of actors and various last-minute circumstances. The funeral was filmed just before Drake died, and then the scenes were edited after he died. 😢 How any of the cast/crew/staff were even functional is amazing.
