Michele Val Jean linking to Michael Fairman article. Fairman quotes the Variety and TVLine articles already cited above. Posting because MVJ linked, which is enough reason for me.

Eden McCoy on Josslyn killing Cyrus (and aftermath) “I found out that Josslyn would be killing Cyrus at the same time I found out that Dex was getting killed off. So I’ve known for a really long time.” -She talks about filming the scene. -She talks about future character changes for Josslyn as a result of all this -- it will change her viewpoint on Sonny. https://www.soapoperadigest.com/content/gh-exclusive-eden-mccoy-knew-for-a-really-long-time-that-josslyn-would-kill-cyrus/

I didn't notice this at first ...

Don't know if these have already been posted ... (appreciation for the extras and other characters)

Lots of amazing photos of Roberta Flack inside Lauryn Hill's ig post https://www.instagram.com/p/DGg2hqFPDax/ mslaurynhill Whitney Houston once said to me that Roberta Flack’s voice was one of the purest voices she’d ever heard. I grew up scouring the records my Parents collected. Mrs. Flack was one of their favorites and quite instantly became one of mine as soon as I was exposed to her. She looked cool and intelligent, gentle and yet militant. The songs she recorded from ‘Compared To What’ to ‘The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face’ to her version of ‘Ballad Of The Sad Young Men’ fascinated me with their beauty and sophistication. Mrs. Flack was an artist, a singer-songwriter, a pianist and composer who moved me and showed me through her own creative choices and standards what else was possible within the idiom of Soul. Killing Me Softly, a song Mrs. Flack didn’t write, but made hugely popular became the song that catapulted myself and the Fugees into household phenomena. We wanted to honor the beauty and brilliance of this song and her performance of it to our generation. I will forever be grateful for the sensitivity and delicate power of her Love and Artistry. Rest in Grace Beloved One. 🌹 .

screengrab of memo from Bezos https://x.com/JStein_WaPo/status/1894760153813275124 Jeff Stein @JStein_WaPo Massive encroachment by Jeff Bezos into The Washington Post’s opinion section today - makes clear dissenting views will not be published or tolerated there I still have not felt encroachment on my journalism on the news side of coverage, but if Bezos tries interfering with the news side I will be quitting immediately and letting you know https://bsky.app/profile/davidmaraniss.bsky.social/post/3lj3o3ozerc2df

My internet was down for 36 hours. And 30 pages have been added to this thread since I last read it! Love that interest! Now I have to watch episodes 2 and 3, and read back all those pages!

"Trachtenberg was found dead Wednesday in her New York City apartment near Columbus Circle just after 8 a.m. local time by her mother, police sources told ABC News. The sources told ABC News the actress recently underwent a liver transplant and may have been experiencing complications. Trachtenberg is believed to have died of natural causes and no foul play is suspected. An autopsy will be conducted by the medical examiner's office to determine the cause and manner of death"

Christopher Dunn is now on the BTG writing team. https://www.soapoperanetwork.com/2024/11/beyond-the-gates-writing-team-robert-guza-jr-co-head-writer

At the SAG awards, they did a segment on stars who started on soaps. This clip shows part of the reel.

In reply to earlier posts about the P&G regular logo and the new P&G Studios logo with the candle . . . I looked up the clues the other posters mentioned, and found this More about Procter the candlemaker and Gamble the soapmaker: https://www.investors.com/news/management/leaders-and-success/william-procter-helped-build-procter-and-gamble/ Interesting history of the P&G logo https://www.businessinsider.com/pg-puts-moon-in-new-logo-despite-satanist-accusations-2013-5 From just a star, then moon and 13 stars. And then just initials and why. And finally since 2013, the current logo with a simple circle with a crescent moon and the P&G initials.

Oh cool, they said “Beyond the Gates will continue” on the live CBS TV broadcast? Of course that didn't happen on ParamountPlus due to lack of commercials. Y&R has "mid-show bumpers" (pics of the cast) and those appear on the ParamountPlus feed. I wonder if BTG would do that? Actually I prefer it plain, because when streaming without commercials, the story just flows.

I watched on PPlus, so no commercials, but I thought this was interesting to read (from the founder and former owner of soapcentral) I assumed it would be mostly P&G products advertised, but were there other things?

There's a new article on that on the spoiler thread here: https://boards.soapoperanetwork.com/topic/68128-yr-february-2025-spoilers/?do=findComment&comment=1997412

this is the regular P&G logo for everything. It's all over their website pg.com ------------------------------------------------------ The part that's new is the word "studios" added onto that, with the candle "i".

Thanks! Just cued the ParamountPlus to the very very end, and yes it's after the Georgia peach. Thanks, And then after that is this: then finally this

character: Supervising Nurse Shanice Johnson actress: Ernestine Johnson Morrison. on IMDB as Ernestine Johnson((I) Lots of BTG photos and videos here: https://www.instagram.com/p/DGdUjGyAZxq

Interesting. They didn't show that P&G logo on ParamountPlus at all. Not in beginning, middle or end of the show. On Paramount, all I saw was this at the very first second before anything started: These were the the final screens on ParamountPlus today:

Don't remember if this casting was discussed in detail on this thread. I see that she was mentioned in her instagram stories in this post in December https://boards.soapoperanetwork.com/topic/66310-beyond-the-gates-premiere-date-time-slot-set-by-cbs/?do=findComment&comment=1979455 Attorney Bill Hamilton's secretary (or legal admin): Character name "Caroline Lee". She is played by Ellie Wang. She's on IMDB as "Elena Wang (1)". She is Singaporean, raised in Australia. https://www.imdb.com/name/nm3886963 https://www.instagram.com/theelliewang/ This is a 2015 interview: https://www.lasalle.edu.sg/features/profile-elena-wang 2018 article about a play she did with George Takei. It started on Broadway and was revived in L.A. in 2018. It's a musical play with a story set during the Japanese American internment of World War II (with a framing story set in the present day). https://hyphenmagazine.com/blog/2018/03/george-takei-elena-wang-and-allegiance-cast-weigh-identity-culture-and-enduring-power Ellie Wang recently filmed an appearance in a romcom TV movie working with Adam Huss - Nikolas Cassadine. The film stars Eric Roberts, and hasn't aired yet. https://www.soapoperadigest.com/content/ghs-adam-huss-scores-triple-play-with-exciting-new-roles/

My screengrab of MVJ's name as creator was while the show was playing (I didn't stop the feed). I didn't quite grab the best view. It's not large, but it does stand out.

Looking forward to reading this.

You might be able to watch on cbs.com via VPN https://www.cbs.com/shows/video/xntraLCHjwumHJHCftwnL78kOPGZCDEm/ You can watch the Canada feed Live but it's not recorded for streaming later. At this link - they have the rights in Canada. https://www.chch.com/live/ I am able to see the Canada feed without a VPN. Canada feed is daily at 2pm NorthAmerica Eastern Standard time through March 7. Starting March 10, at 2pm NorthAmerica Eastern DAYLIGHT time. (noting this because Europe is on Standard time until end of March which will put the Europe/NorthAmerica out of sync by one hour for a few weeks.) Back in sync March 31 with Europe on Daylight/Summer time. Regarding the Canadian feel LIVE https://www.chch.com/live/ For several of us, it took a while to load, so go to the page and click "LIVE" about a half hour or an hour early, so that it's ready when the show starts.
