I watched OLTL early years, but missed most of 1990s OLTL, so the recent posts on this thread are interesting to read. I didn't know anything at all about Christopher Cousins' OLTL character and aliases... until reading a little bit last year. Christopher Cousins debuted on Y&R in 2024... as Ashley Abbott's platonic friend from Paris -- the retired psychologist "Alan Laurent"... and his evil twin "Martin Laurent". (Alan eventually became Traci Abbott's boyfriend and I think he still recurs as such). When the Alan/Martin characters debuted on Y&R, I read up on Christopher Cousins' character and aliases on OLTL. wow. crazy. I had to read the archive.org of soapcentral's OLTL site to find bios of Cousins' character and the Llanview characters he interacted with. And other wikis. It took a while to sort it all out. Especially since he seems to have returned a few times under various aliases. It's hard to understand the convoluted mess from reading summaries and wikis. After reading all that, I see why Cousins was cast on OLTL. At first I thought Alan Laurent was scamming Ashley and wasn't who he appeared to be. Well he was but then it was revealed that some of it was his evil twin Martin. Seems like Josh Griffith threw it together somewhat haphazardly for Y&R. re: OLTL: It annoyed me to read that Tina was hoodwinked (catfished? scammed?) by this guy. The Tina Lord I remember was vulnerable at times, but she was also smart, I think? I don't know. I was going to ask here, but then, maybe the character is not worth me investing time/energy/reading about.

Johnny and Chanel 'put on a show' to adopt Sophia's baby. “Chanel comes out in a little apron, and she’s going on about a Bible study that she doesn’t actually attend.” https://www.soapoperadigest.com/content/exclusive-days-preview-johnny-and-chanel-put-on-a-show-to-adopt-sophias-baby/

Within Canada, some cable and satellite services have "CHCH" channel, and you can watch BTG on broadcast TV there and record on your recorder. Outside Canada (and inside Canada) You can watch the episodes on the live feed from Canada at chch.com. I found it here: https://www.chch.com/live/ click on the "WATCH LIVE" button on the website at the time of broadcast. It works from outside Canada and you don't need VPN. That's at 2pm New York STANDARD Time through March 7th. That's at 2pm New York DAYLIGHT Time starting week of March 10th. Note that Canada/USA go to Daylight Saving Time March 9, but Europe goes to Daylight/Summer time March 30, so time difference would be off by one hour for a few weeks. If that's confusing, go to a reliable timezone converter to check the time differences during the weeks in March. NOTE, during week of 24 February, sometimes it took a long while for the live feed to start working on the website, so I suggest setting the live page up 30 minutes early. Click on the page, and give it time to load, so that it's actively giving the live feed by the time BTG starts. I don't know how to record the live website feed. I don't know where to legally find the shows recorded outside the USA, unless you have a VPN. You might be able to watch any recent episodes you missed by going to cbs.com with a VPN, but cbs.com usually has *only the most recent 5 episodes* of any of their shows.

(The actors in the SoapStarts video are *alive*) Edit: oh I see you tried to edit but the one-hour edit deadline had passed.

Thanks for posting the screengrab! Update, found the video: https://x.com/MicheleValJean/status/1896080035678994788 For high-definition, go to the 0:33 mark (I attempted to queue it)

Or maybe it's supposed to reference retired Senator Dupree covering up something related to Congressman Richardson? At first I wondered if Ted's father was also a senator, but that would have meant that Ted and Nicole would have first met via political circles as children. But that can't be the case, since we watched Andre videoing Ted and Nicole saying that they first met at the medical conference on Maui.

Someone on the promo says "Senator Richardson has a big secret". Who is "Senator Richardson"? I guess he/she is related to Nicole's husband Dr. Ted Richardson? and Ted's nephew Andre?

Paula Cwickly and Jeanne Marie Ford episodes begin airing April 24, 2025, per Stephanie Sloane TV insider. (from spoiler article dated 1/1/2025, which I won't post here since it was full of spoilers)

------- "On the Next GH" preview for Monday March 3 (tidbits of miscellaneous scenes) Sonny/Lucy Curtis/Drew Lucas/Brad Gio/Dante Lulu/Spinelli Sasha warning someone "Leave now or I'll scream".

(preview of a scene from Monday March 3) GH Sneak: Curtis and Portia Are Interrupted Curtis and Portia are making plans to take a trip together when Drew arrives. Portia tells Curtis that four doctors are at a symposium in Miami right now, and she’s so jealous of them. Curtis replies no need to be jealous much longer because he and Portia are going to the white sand beaches of St. George's. She says Really? And he says yes. Portia says she knew he was planning to scout out locations for Aurora's new resort, but she didn't think he’d landed on anything yet. He replies that he hadn't, but as CEO he needs to check out the white sands himself, and to do that, he’ll need some help (meaning her.) Portia is happy, but then Drew arrives. Drew walks up and exclaims: "Curtis! You really think I would never find out?"

Yes to what dc11786 said about Dani: "While her hatred and anger is justified, it is exhausting, but at least that seems intentional on Val Jean's part rather than the typical a character annoys you because the writer is out of touch. Dani is very well constructed" I especially appreciated the idea that this intentional (unlike some writers, LOL)

Oh wow, I totally missed that. Now I have to go back and rewatch those scenes in episodes one and five.

While you were posting, I looked it up again, and found that Jan is Ashley's mother, and I edited my post.

I wondered who Jan was. (Edit) Then I looked it up. Jan's the name of Ashley's mother, the woman with the blonde wavy hair. Interesting idea. I agree with you that Mona is smart and might be more onto the scheming tendencies of Leslie, more than Leslie is aware.

fyi, Jerri Tubbs and Max Bickelhaup are spelled correctly on the individual episodes in which they appeared, but misspelled on the overall list. Thank you @Liberty City for doing all this work!

This was probably already posted but this might be more info: Aviyon Gilliam played the bartender at end of episode 1, watching the Dani/Hayley confrontation https://www.imdb.com/name/nm16425794/ He tweeted that he has episodes coming up. I can see from Aviyon Gilliam's IG pics that this really is him https://www.instagram.com/aviyon_g/ I see that BTG's instagram has an arrow pointing to this bartender in their post saying they are accepting applicants for an HBCU student to do a nonspeaking role - it says: "This could be you". https://www.instagram.com/p/DGoEaw4yX47/

Does SON traditionally credit background actors in episode rankings? @JAS0N47 sometimes credits U/5 actors for DAYS if they are known; but not sure about background actors? The actor Aviyon Gilliam (bartender at end of episode 1) watching the Dani/Hayley confrontation https://www.imdb.com/name/nm16425794/ He tweeted that he has episodes coming up. More info about him on the behind-the-scenes thread at this post: https://boards.soapoperanetwork.com/topic/66310-btg-history-behind-the-scenes-articles-photos/?do=findComment&comment=1999426

It works aesthetically to use spoiler tags -- but then people have to log in to read. For many years, I would read the SON monthly episode rankings -- for many years before I joined SON. (If I quoted it elsewhere, I would still credit SON). Also, the fancy opening font image doesn't display for those not logged in. But that doesn't really matter at all. This is what I currently see if not logged in (on all browsers).. Logged out and then checked this thread on PC browsers and phone browsers, and it's the same for all. I made this screengrab:
