Wednesday, February 12: Rachel Boyd debuts as recast Sophia Choi. (Madelyn Kientz's final scene as Sophia aired January 27.) (first reported in January by tvinsider, Michael Fairman, etc etc)

Wow. she's mesmerizing! so much acting in 30 seconds of facial expression. I gather that's the character Silver Kane? Not a character I remember well. But how could I have forgotten this scene? Maybe it's an episode I never saw. This must be the same actress today: https://www.bravenewworldrep.org/claire-beckman

Oh right, to compare with the prior Friday's closing credits: ABC closing credits for Friday January 31, listed Charles Mesure on contract between the actors playing Isaiah and Kai. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KXw0ixqOSGU But he's entirely removed from the credits airing February 7.

^ The ABC broadcast closing credits for Friday Feb. 7 are playing in the background of this YT preview video. That would be the closing credits for Mon-Fri Feb. 3-7. Evan Hofer is still in the contract actor credits. For the ABC broadcast on Fridays: The noncontract actors are always listed on the final slide, and usually it's only a 5 or 6 of the many noncontract actors that appeared during the week. Chris McKenna isn't listed either in contract or noncontract, so presumably he's noncontract but they didn't have room for him on the final slide.

(preview of a scene from Monday Feb. 10) GH Sneak: Trina and Ava Catch Up Trina runs into Ava at the park. Trina relays to Ava a phone message that Ava still doesn't have a buyer for her second gallery space. Ava's disappointed. They discuss various topics related to Ava's real estate and finances, including the Cassadine stuff, and Sidwell, etc. Then Ava asks Trina how she now finds the time to be at the gallery so often -- and Ava wonders why Trina has started spending less time visiting her friend (Kai) at the hospital. Trina replies that it turns out that her being at the hospital wasn't helpful.

EB from tvinsider: When pressed to name something he wishes he could have played more in his four-plus decades, Braeden responds, “Well, I kind of regret that there wasn’t this ongoing relationship with Ashley [Abbott, Eileen Davidson] — that could have always been looming in the background — but other than that, to be frank with you, no. I have enormous respect for the writers because I would not want to do what they do.” --- WOW. Has he ever said that before?

Michael Mattes has attended Days events and takes photos. Decades ago, he had a website with the photos, and here it is: https://web.archive.org/web/20011211225331/http://daysofourlives.simplenet.com/album/ He still takes Days event photos. He is now one of the hosts of Dishin Days, so you could contact him there -- he'd probably have a list of past events.

I noticed that a lot of people (on social media and messageboards) seem to be interpreting this dayspeacock "ladywhistleblower" announcement as a directive to stop posting clips of the show. But I didn't read it that way. They specifically reference the Days tiktok account, and from how they worded it, I took it literally -- I interpreted it to mean that somebody copied the dayspeacock tiktok account with a lot of its content, and created their own similar account to share stuff. The show is pissed -- and the show is using Lady Whistleblower to complain (because the stupid "powers that be" think we viewers all love the LadyWhistleblower storyline and will pay attention to that). I mean I could be wrong, but that's how I'm reading it. Basically like an actor saying "xyz facebook isn't my account but someone made a copy of my page with all its content, so don't be fooled." The LadyWhistleblower announcement even says: "beware of imposters" ... just like an annoyed actor would say if there was a imposter actor page. Except that an actor would speak plainly and not use a stupid storyline device to convey the message.

Same clip from the "YR Insider" youtube channel. fyi @Errol Just noticed that this YT channel exists and has been posting the "next week on" videos since the beginning of December 2024.
