@Liberty City just wondering why you usually use the soapoperaNews.net header photos whenever you post their weekly spoilers here at soapoperaNetwork. That site usually uses *old* pics and not spoiler pics for their weekly spoiler listings -- for all their U.S. soaps. For example: the picture of Johnny is from November 2024. The picture of Belle is from February 2025. And the picture of Shane is from the 2021 "Beyond Salem" series. That s.o.news site feels a need to put graphics on their pages, so they just post whatever random old pics of a few characters mentioned in the spoilers. But I don't see the need to bring that site's "whatever" over to here. I'd prefer to see the actual spoiler pics, like SOD has and soaphub occasionally had. I do appreciate you bringing over the spoilers. Very very much appreciated!

Yeah I agree. some storyline reason must be coming for Kat to not be at her mom's event.

This!

That's funny and also cool.

It wasn't mentioned in any episode how old Martin is. Earlier in this thread, I posted that.. since the law is you have to be 35 when you take office as President, then Martin would have to be at least 32 now, to be able to run for president in 2028. Or he'd have to be at least 28 now to run for president in 2032. Then I *speculated* that he's 28 now and that he and Smitty adopted their teenaged children when they were in elementary school and Martin was around 21. All speculation on my part. This theory might keep Nicole's age four years lower than if Martin were 32 now. But all of that was me just thinking aloud (speculating/pondering) on this thread. We really don't know how old Martin is yet. We heard today that he's put out feelers for funding for a presidential run ... but don't know if that's for 2028 or 2032. I guess it's more likely 2028 based on the dialogue, but I don't know.

The character "Mona" (pics here if anyone needs reference) https://wornontv.net/beyond-the-gates/mona-wilson/ Mona is friends with Ashley's mother Jan, and with Leslie, and we've seen them at the Orphey Gene's as the "non-wealthy" friends having coffee and chatting. (Edit, I see this was just mentioned in above posts while I was typing this). Mona works for Nicole. Now today, we learned that Eva had to run the Nicole award event by herself, because Mona is sick. We saw no indication that Mona was sick, just that it was mentioned. I wonder now if Leslie arranged for Mona to be temporarily ill, so that Mona would not be at the Nicole award event, so that Leslie could go there and not be caught by Mona?

RE: Stefano. Yes. but then it changed and he was on all the time and normalized to eating lunch at the Brady Pub and being a fun grandpa. That's what I objected to. That's not who he was. His only use for his family was as chesspieces. Despite what current characters might say. Yes Leslie/Dana works for now. The actress is wonderfully mesmerizing. I just want the character to have arcs and not be a constant presence.

I feel exactly the same about Stefano DiMera. Should have been occasional villain recurring very sporadically. A storyline arc, and then gone for a few years. Not having lunch at the Brady Pub. Mascolo was a great actor, but I thought his character was way overused and then inappropriately normalized to the canvas. Stefano hated his children. It's stupid that even now they talk to his picture. Awful writing. I never saw whatever show Roger Thorpe was on (yes I know famous but I never watched it).

I think Trisha Mann-Grant is a great actress. But I personally don't want to see a villain all the time. I can take villains in small doses. Just because an actor is talented, doesn't mean their character should become on the show all the time. I hated that when it happend with Sheila Carter and Kristen Blake DiMera. I just personally cannot stan a villain character. I just cannot. I can still admire the actor, and want her to win an Emmy, but I don't want the villain to be around long term.

What? NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO to Cane. Do *NOT* want Lily to ever see or hear from him again. Just no. Furthermore, Cane was Australian, so thankfully they wouldn't give that role to Billy Flynn anyhow. In my opinion, Zuleyka (who plays Audra) is the best actor on the show. Of course we don't need another Audra, because nobody could compare to her! LOL.

I *love* that Eva got Leslie removed!

So the Distinguished Service Award (same award that Vernon got years ago, they said) ... I guess it's for service to the community or something? But then it was clarified as an award for psychiatry.... but such things ... wouldn't they have speakers about WHAT Nicole did in her service? Community leaders? Other doctors? The fact that it was all family in attendance, with some extras, took me out of it. Oh but the FASHIONS, the hair, the jewelry, the jewelry adorning the hair. OUTSTANDING.

Episode 14, March 13 https://www.cbs.com/shows/video/y3ILAuzD1BhpNtqgzRWFo5JZl9QyAowT/ https://www.paramountplus.com/shows/video/y3ILAuzD1BhpNtqgzRWFo5JZl9QyAowT/ Oh wow. Anita looks MAGNIFICENT !!!! Dani is wearing her green opening credits dress to the Nicole event!

Mona? Hmmm. Maybe.

*this* is the mark of a good soap -- that your heart is racing, wondering! I agree that it's too early for the reveal; but I like that there's that much anticipation for viewers.

From Wed. March 12 closing credits: Robert Christopher Riley as "Dr. Carlton Fitzgerald" I see posts above that he's appearing today March 13? I don't know this actor (I've never seen Dynasty). I'll catch him later when today uploads to Paramount Plus.

Oh yes. OG Eve Howard. (not the current Claire)

When I watch on Paramountplus with an adblocker, the scenes seamlessly fade out and then go into the next scene. Same seamless transition as with regular scene change during the parts of the show that don't have any commercials on broadcast tv. It did seem a little choppy watching live on chch because chch has commercials. Maybe the show was filmed with the thought that people would be subscribing to adfree ParamountPlus? Not accounting for commercials from CBS or chch?

chch.com/live seems to not be working, it sends me to "parrot.tv" which says "not available in my territory" I don't have a VPN, can't afford it. Does this mean I can't watch live on chch from the USA anymore?

Paramount Veterans Network supports military veterans who are employed by Paramount Global https://www.paramountveteransnetwork.com/our-story They did a feature on Maurice P. Kerry. (He plays Randy Parker, old friend of Doug McBride - Randy is now an employee of mobster Joey Armstrong) https://www.instagram.com/p/DG33FUDRaea/ March 6, 2025 paramountvetnet We are beyond honored to welcome CBS’ Beyond The Gates star Maurice P. Kerry as the newest Ambassador to the Paramount Veterans Network family! Maurice shines as Randy Parker on the hit CBS daytime drama, Beyond the Gates. In its debut week alone, the series captivated 5.2 million viewers, holding its own alongside legendary shows like General Hospital and even surpassing it in key demographics (A25-54), according to Nielsen ratings. But Maurice’s most powerful story doesn’t begin on a soundstage—it began on the front lines. A decorated U.S. Marine Corps Combat Veteran, Maurice served with distinction during Operation Iraqi Freedom II. Yet, some of his toughest battles came after returning home. Like so many of our nation’s heroes, the transition to civilian life brought unexpected hardships, including more than a year of homelessness on the streets of Southern California. Still, Maurice refused to let his circumstances define him. Instead, he leaned into his creative gifts and dared to chase a dream bigger than his struggles: a career in acting. And today, he’s not only thriving on screen but also using his journey to uplift others. Maurice is a man of many talents—a devoted father, director, gamer, acting coach, and a passionate advocate for mental and physical wellness. As a proud disabled veteran living with PTSD, he’s become a beacon of resilience, proving that no challenge is insurmountable with purpose, persistence, and heart. Guided by the powerful mantras “Don’t Quit, Grit!”, “Hard ain’t impossible,” and “In war my enemy couldn’t kill me... so what can your opinion do to a man like me?”, Maurice embodies what it means to overcome, to grow, and to lead with love. His life is more than an inspiring story—it’s a testament to the strength of the human spirit and a reminder to us all that our greatest battles can become our greatest legacies. Welcome to the team, Maurice. We’re proud to stand beside you. #paramountveteransnetwork #marines #veterans #military #paramountvetnet #veteransnetwork #paramount #vetnet #veteran #beyondthegates #btg #gatedcommunity #cbs #paramountplus .

I started to post something here but... it's all so awful. All the political news is difficult enough to read about. Don't have the strength to post it after reading it.

What happened today (Thurs. March. 13) ? What exactly did Roman tell Johnny about Arnold and about EJ? (You could put it in spoiler tags, since some haven't seen the episode yet).
