The June 5th scene of Cat reacting to a photo of Sami -- wasn't spoiled in advance. No idea what that was about. There have been no spoilers implying that Cat knew Shane, just nothing. No idea what today's Cat stuff was about. (you don't want spoilers, so not posting any here, but honestly there were no spoilers about this, we are all surprised).

After the "Nashville" series ended, Jonathan Jackson moved to Ireland in 2020. He lived there for a few years.

I really love Chelsea's eyerolls. At Dani last week, and at Hayley today.

Variety article on John's funeral https://variety.com/2025/tv/news/days-of-our-lives-john-black-funeral-drake-hogestyn-1236421918/ There are two sneak peek videos embedded within the Variety article, but to see them, you would need to disable adblockers. The first video clip is Marlena at the funeral flashing back to the 1999 J&M wedding vows with a flower for each of the children, while simultaneously in the present, the adult children each place their flower on the table next to John's picture. (Paul holds the rose for Sami). If you can't see that video clip, here is a copy: https://tinyurl.com/99flowersFuneral The second video is Brady Black giving some humor during his speech at the funeral (copy behind the spoiler tag)

Matt Ashford interview about learning of Drake's illness and about the filming of the funeral https://www.soapoperadigest.com/content/matthew-ashford-on-somber-days-return-for-johns-funeral-exclusive/?taid=684714b6d4835c0001b675ad Matt says he was at the studio in the other room watching some of the funeral scenes on the monitor as it was being filmed. But doesn't specify if Jack and Jennifer appear at the funeral or not.

The cast said that scenes were filmed over a few weeks, with a preplanned hiatus in the middle, and it was all out of order. I would *guess* that they used Chandler when they could get him? They also had to work around Leo Howard getting married around the time these episodes were filmed, but I guess they worked it out since Tate appeared.

Today Monday was the start of people arriving at the funeral, but the service hasn't started yet. I know this is the nonspoiler thread but I think it's okay to say (in nonspecific terms) that the funeral episodes span a few days. I won't detail it more here. Just sayin' keep watching.

Thanks for the photos. Looks interesting

Full statement from city of Glendale https://www.glendaleca.gov/Home/Components/News/News/9293/16

https://www.tvinsider.com/1196281/general-hospital-jonathan-jackson-leaving-reason-lucky-spencer/ “It was more of a real, sincere attempt from myself and from General Hospital to make it work for a longer period of time. The hope was to be able to stay on longer.” But for Jackson, traveling between Tennessee (where he lives) and California (where the show films), ultimately proved too disruptive for his personal life. “There was always that possibility because it was a bit of an experiment on my part to see if I could make it work with the family dynamic,” the husband and father of three explains. “There were moments where I thought, ‘I think I can find this balance with the family and time back and forth,’ and then you just have to pray about it and try to do what you feel is right. We gave it our best shot, but we weren’t able to keep it going.”

https://x.com/soapsdotcom/status/1932070618326773892 Alison Sweeney promises that, even though Sami misses John’s funeral, she gets to pay her respects in a way that ‘felt very real’ https://soaps.sheknows.com/days-of-our-lives/news/784947/where-is-sami-john-funeral/ Just posting here the quotes from Ms. Sweeney “I don’t know if it was meant to be a secret — so I don’t want to step on their toes — but I came back a little bit later because I couldn’t be there for those scenes,” Sweeney revealed. “They arranged for me to do it a week later, maybe two weeks later. I do come in and have scenes about John, but my timing was a little bit off after all of that.” Sweeney admitted that it was “hard” not to be with her Days of Our Lives cast to film the poignant scenes. “We knew when we were filming the scenes that it wasn’t going to air [until] six months from now and we’re going to have these feelings all over again and that’s sort of what’s happening,” she said. “I’m watching these scenes on TV and seeing all the comments on social media. And we’re reliving it, so that’s really hard.” “mourning doesn’t always happen [when] everyone gets together on one day.” She added, “Sometimes, that’s an ongoing thing. Having Sami come back and share those moments with Marlena, like a week later or something, allows us to tell that story.” Sweeney said tenderly, “I’m really glad that I got to be a part of it in the way that I was, it felt very real.”

yes. today Monday's episode started with words displayed "part 1" and ended with "to be continued"

24 photos for Tuesday June 10 (it has 25 but one is a duplicate, so 24) https://soaphub.com/days-of-our-lives/spoilers-days/preview-special-someone-arrives-johns-funeral/ Bo and Hope at rehab facility Bo and Hope at funeral Many other funeral scenes.

The CBS one is the daily episode excerpt. They plan those out in advance for timed release onto the CBS youtube channel. They must have set up the clips weeks ago; and the Monday June 9 one got released on Saturday June 7th -- perhaps someone forgot to move its release date after the May 8 preemption. The three tweeted ones above -- It's a new twitter account opened only a month ago, no idea who they are. I have no idea where they obtained that footage.

Tuesday June 10 U.S. (Monday June 9 CDN) Quoting the Canadian recapper (Link) . . . Damian gives Lily a signed edition of the history of jazz. He says that when he saw it, he thought of Neil and thought it might mean something to her. He apologizes if he overstepped. She explains the book was one of her dad’s favorites. They lost his copy and she felt awful about it. Choked up, Lily tells him it’s a wonderful gift. It’s surreal to see it. ^ via soaphub (Link) above two pics via another soaphub page (Link)
