I don't know how I inadvertently gave my post about the Taliban minister some repeated sentences. But the idea was worth the emphasis, so I guess my typo makes sense. I mean when a Taliban official can be that brave, why aren't the U.S. Democrat Senators brave enough to vote NO in the confirmation hearings of Tr*mp's cabinet? Oh and actually more h*ell freezing over .... Mitch McConnell has been voting no to some of Tr*ump's ideas and nominations.

DAYS: February 2025 Discussion Thread
Update, I see that the actor posted on IG on August 6 with pic of dressing room, but it wasn't intended to convey them taping that day. I see that tvinsider did an article about the return that was published August 6, so the ig post was in reference to that. The tvinsider article didn't give any upcoming airdates, it just mentions the return, so I have no idea when it will air.

20 January 2025, new president of USA tries to send human rights back 200 years. MEANWHILE, in Afghanistan 20 January 2025, Taliban official speaks out in favor of education for women and girls. https://www.theguardian.com/global-development/2025/feb/03/mohammad-abbas-stanikzai-taliban-minister-flees-afghanistan-over-support-girls-education “There is no excuse for this – not now and not in the future,” Stanikzai said. “We are being unjust to 20 million people. “During the time of the prophet Muhammad, the doors of knowledge were open for both men and women,” he said. “There were such remarkable women that if I were to elaborate on their contributions, it would take a considerable amount of time.” (He was forced to leave the country, but still, very brave) Mohammad Abbas Stanikzai, Taliban’s deputy foreign minister, left for UAE after criticising ban on secondary school and higher education for girls A senior Taliban minister who expressed support for reversing the ban on girls’ education in Afghanistan appears to have been forced to flee the country. Speaking at a graduation ceremony in Khost province, near the Afghan-Pakistani border, on 20 January, Mohammad Abbas Stanikzai, the Taliban’s deputy foreign minister, criticised the government’s ban on girls attending secondary schools and higher education. “There is no excuse for this – not now and not in the future,” Stanikzai said. “We are being unjust to 20 million people. “During the time of the prophet Muhammad, the doors of knowledge were open for both men and women,” he said. “There were such remarkable women that if I were to elaborate on their contributions, it would take a considerable amount of time.” After this speech, and reports of Stanikzai criticising him, the Taliban’s supreme leader, Hibatullah Akhundzada, allegedly ordered the minister’s arrest and issued a travel ban, which pushed Stanikzai to leave Afghanistan for the United Arab Emirates. Stanikzai confirmed to local media he had left for Dubai but claimed it was for health reasons. The Taliban were contacted for comment but did not respond. Since the Taliban’s takeover in 2021, the rights of women and girls to education, work, travel and appearing in public have been severely curtailed. Last month, the international criminal court’s chief prosecutor requested arrest warrants for the Taliban’s supreme leader and Afghanistan’s chief justice on the grounds that their persecution of women and girls in Afghanistan is a crime against humanity.

I don't know exactly, but I think that actor filmed for only a few days. The show might distribute the scenes over a longer period of airdates though. It's also possible that the actor filmed more than one short run. Edit to add: they posted a pic of a Days dressing room on August 6th. But per Jason47 (link) the set was dark that week. So who knows when they actually filmed.

Y&R: Casting
Feb. 3, 2025 Stephanie Sloane interviews Jermaine Rivers about his debut as the real Damian. https://www.tvinsider.com/1174060/young-and-the-restless-damian-kane-jermaine-rivers/ Now revisiting the January 7th Stephanie Sloane interview with Nathan Owens -- note the final paragraph: Owens can’t say a lot about his new part, which will become clearer as the weeks unfold. “He plays a very delicate role in this scenario, and he’s a very mysterious guy,” Owens winks. “He holds his cards close to the vest and he keeps things tight. I like diving into the mysterious world my character has. I very much enjoy this character and the depth that he can bring to the show.” https://www.tvinsider.com/1169578/young-and-the-restless-nathan-owens-character-interview/
