Since the Paley Center event is in New York, I wonder if Cady McClain will be there, as she lives in New York. (had posted on her IG Sat. Feb 15 that she was going home to NY that day after a week of work)

@Contessa Donatella @Mona Kane Croft I see that we've been discussing this on the February 2025 discussion thread. (and I too have done this.) Might I suggest that we continue the discussion of 2009 (Vivian's aide Gus) on the history thread ("Days: Behind the scenes, articles, photos").

Literally. They want us back in 1825.

Melissa Ordway is now listed in the closing credits as "Abby Winters". But they've kept her in the contract section, she hasn't been moved.

Is this who you mean? Character name was "Gus Pascal" Character description here but it might be incomplete: https://www.soapcentral.com/days-of-our-lives/whoswho/gus.php Pictures of the actor: https://resumes.actorsaccess.com/kamall The actor signed an autograph for @JAS0N47 https://www.jason47.com/days/autoshaikh.html Edit to add: stats from Jason47.com Kamall Shaikh appeared (recurring) as Gus Pascal for 97 episodes, from Oct. 30, 2009 - Sept. 21, 2011 Oh wait, you said 10 or 11 years ago for only one storyline? Well then nevermind. I probably picked the wrong person.

@Mona Kane Croft is not asking about Ivan. In the storyline/time period that they're asking about-- that was Vivian Alamain's henchman/servant whose name was "Gus Pascal" https://www.soapcentral.com/days-of-our-lives/whoswho/gus.php Pictures of the actor: https://resumes.actorsaccess.com/kamall The actor signed an autograph for @JAS0N47 https://www.jason47.com/days/autoshaikh.html I don't know the answer to the question, what was the term Vivian used to refer to Gus's position when he was working for her.

(this temp recast of Lucky was already posted on other threads. Just posting here to clarify the tvinsider spoilers) The original article with Valentine's Day spoilers from Stephanie Sloane for tvinsider, listed every character's full name, and also every actor's first and last names. For GH we now know that the tvinsider Valentine's Day spoilers for GH will air Tues. Feb. 18. For simplicity of posting the spoilers abovethread, I omitted the actors' names because why would we need them? Well... the original tvinsider article did say that it would be Jonathan Jackson as Lucky Spencer... "Lucky Spencer (Jonathan Jackson) and Elizabeth Webber (Rebecca Herbst) kiss!" The tvinsider article also has a BTS pic of JJ and Rebecca Herbst as Lucky and Elizabeth. But actually that BTS photo is from early October 2024. And, as already reported on other threads, there is a temp recast (Guy Wilson) as Lucky for "a handful of episodes", starting Feb. 18th. So ... the Elizabeth/Lucky kiss... is with the temp actor Guy Wilson. The Feb 18 episode was accidentally uploaded a few days early online in Canada, and some viewers saw it and posted screenshots on their social media, before the episode was taken down.

I clicked on "read more" and discovered the longer article on the main SON site. https://www.soapoperanetwork.com/2025/02/charlie-besso-tobias-general-hospital @Errol, thanks for the info on "Princeton’s in the Mix" with its trailer. found the link to upcoming screenings https://www.princetonsinthemix.com/screenings

"ozarksfirst.com" which is KOLR in Springfield, Missouri (CBS) combined with KRBK Osage Beach, Missouri (FOX) did a feature on BTG today. It starts with one of the longer BTG promos we've already seen. Then the local talk/news hosts discuss it.

This is also streaming live every half hour on ET on the websites of CBS.com and ParamountPlus and on ET website https://www.cbs.com/live-tv/stream/Ay_yNGGsaAER0p53Vayq7p6ehANP1Xy_/ https://www.paramountplus.com/live-tv/stream/etl/ https://www.etonline.com/live

Well it was worth stopping halfway in because it ended up as completely meaningless because

Charlie Besso for "ODDA Magazine digital" November 2022. This online magazine issue was done as an interview in conjunction with him appearing in Peacock's "The Calling", but it's a general interview. From the ODDA Magazine facebook page https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=5763187187084122 ODDA magazine November 26, 2022 #CharlieBesso has had the world at his fingertips — quite literally. He grew up in France, before attending high school at Laguna Beach High School in California, and currently, is a student at New York University. With a striking look that embodies the youthful boy-next-door look, Besso has an infectiously charming personality and multifaceted creative repertoire to compliment his classic features. He grew up with a paintbrush glued to his fingertips and a knack for making it to the Hollywood screens. When it came to graduating high school, rather than following a single one of those creative pursuits, he combined them both to create an individualized study program at NYU’s Gallatin School. Besso braces for his biggest role yet as he stars in Peacock’s “The Calling,” out this November. He meets with ODDA to talk about working with David E. Kelley and Barry Levinson, defining home, and which shows he would like to dive into. "The audition was a bit of a surprise for me as it was the first real role I booked as I started going out on auditions in New York. I was nervous and I didn’t necessarily expect something like this; I thought it would take a lot longer for me to get something like this. It was wild, honestly."

MVJ isn't *only* good friends with Jon Lindstrom and Karla Mosley. She wrote for Lindstrom on GH and she wrote for Mosley on B&B, so she knows what they can do. So it's professional respect AND personal trust.

re: the discussion of Cady McClain's hairstyle and reddish color, beginning on page 304 of this thread... I see from this photo Cady uploaded Feb. 6 https://www.instagram.com/p/DFvjIzSxrdL/ She does have full bangs. but I guess they can be swept to the sides and almost invisible in some circumstances, and combed out to full bangs in other circumstances.

Of course, Lindstrom has been close with MVJ for ages. But that is in terms of mutual respect. Jon Lindstrom wrote a novel about Hollywood mobsters called "Hollywood Hustle". He's spent a lot of the past year or two promoting it and appearing at book signings etc. https://www.jonlindstrom.com/writer So he has a personal interest in fictional mobster topics, maybe? There is also (possibly) Guza's influence, in a small way maybe? (just speculating) as he wrote mobster stuff for GH.

Thanks @Errol . I noticed that CHCH is not carrying the "BTG welcome to the neighborhood" specials during week of Feb. 17- 21. In their 2pm timeslot is reruns of "Mad About You". But their listings starting week of Feb. 24 do show BTG episodes in that same timeslot. Since the BTG neighborhood specials were produced with help from ET, I am *randomly speculating/wondering* if "ET-Canada" might show the BTG neighborhood specials at some point? Just wondering because ... Y&R's 50th anniversary had a behind-the-scenes special (produced in cooperation with ET in USA), and it aired separately on "ET-Canada".

I saw a post somewhere (here or on social media) that said they had to program their VCR to specifically record "Beyond the Gates: Welcome to the Neighborhood". Otherwise it wouldn't record. This would be separate from setting to record *only* BTG actual episodes.

I admire your tenacity and patience to read more than 600 pages. I have to confess that I've read this AMC thread only sporadically and moreso in recent months. I joined SON 5 years ago and mostly followed the the threads for the current soaps, (even though I watched AMC and OLTL's early years). As I am someone addicted to history, if I started reading all the threads here, I'd literally forget to eat and sleep. So I had to curtail myself. My admiration goes out to anyone who can handle it better than I can.

I get what you're saying but we cannot control the MAGA morons. We cannot control whatever MAGA lowlifes who might watch and then complain about DEI with BeyondTheGates. Of course they'll complain but what can they do? Ultimately this will come down to money. Procter & Gamble has posted in January 2025 about their commitment to what they call "E&I" (equality & inclusion) but it's the same as "DEI" (diversity, equity, and inclusion), and honoring their leaders in this: https://us.pg.com/blogs/inspirational-leaders/ There is a lot more, based on reading the E&I details on P&G's website, and also looking at all the P&G youtubes and P&G blogposts. They seem truly committed and not just paying lipservice. This is P&G's main page on Equality & Inclusion, as of Oct. 2024, updated Dec. 2024: https://us.pg.com/equality-and-inclusion/ I know Tr*ump is attempting to sue CBS News, which could affect the upcoming Paramount merger; but Tr*mp cannot control P&G or NAACP.
