This topic is now on page 301 !!! Appreciating the anticipation,

The announcer character "Clarence" is played by actor Brad Sanders. He also appeared -- newly taped -- WITHIN a Y&R episode on Dec. 27, 2023 as Audra was watching the character Clarence on her laptop doing his "online gossip/news show" talking about Tucker's business dealings. Brad Sanders approached CBS execs to ask to be included in Y&R's 50th anniversary and that's what they arranged.

Tues Feb. 18 ^ looks like most of this airs Tuesday Feb. 18

One of the (many) horrid things .... The mayor of New York City Eric Adams was indicted several months ago on corruption charges. This was the right thing to do. Eric Adams attended the Trump inauguration, which was suspicious. It turns out that Trump's "department of justice" wants to dismiss all charges against Adams, in exchange for Adams harshly cracking down on immigrants in New York. So many articles about this, I don't have time to post the links right now. Justice department officials/judges/prosecutors have resigned in protest. Some of the resignation letters are quite eloquent and scathing.

Prior to acting she was a Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader, and then appeared in the reality show "Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders: Making the Team" in 2007, 2008, 2009, and 2010. https://web.archive.org/web/20240509202900/https://www.dallasobserver.com/arts/abigail-klein-former-dallas-cowboys-cheerleader-is-now-starring-in-films-11957001 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dallas_Cowboys_Cheerleaders:_Making_the_Team Once I learned this, I can't unsee it.

Hank Northrup, son of Wayne Northrup and Lynn Herring! full story here: https://www.tvinsider.com/1176259/wayne-northrop-son-hank-joining-days-of-our-lives-exclusive/ quoting tvinsider: In his new role, Northrop is working closely with James Reynolds (Abe Carver), the actor his father worked closely with for years. “What a legend,” Northrop marvels. “First of all, it was so cool because he and my dad had such a great working relationship, and they didn’t tell him that I was coming on to work with him. So when I saw him for the first time, he just lit up. My dad always said, ‘James has the best laugh you’ll ever hear,’ and I finally got to hear it in person. This man just lights up the room. He was so kind to me. We honestly couldn’t stop hugging each other. We kind of holding up production a little bit because we were just wanting to connect, and he was just like, ‘Oh, my gosh, you’re Wayne’s son. This is the best thing. I’m so excited. I loved your dad so much.’ I could not ask for a better first scene partner on Days. He took me under his wing and taught me the ropes.”

Bill raped Laura on DAYS, so *NO* for a ship name for them. Doesn't matter to me that it was written as them falling in love later on and having children. I still would not have shipped them, nor given their relationship a name.

LOL yes a typo! I meant the Will/Electra romance!

I don't think they used smoosh names in those days. Just Erica and Jack. Or Jack and Erica. Well obviously Erica would prefer her name first, LOL.

@dragonflies thanks for the info on the scream from the promo. So that's three scenes from the same B&B storyline in the combined BTG/B&B/Y&R promo B&B: Will Spencer and Remy fighting (re: Electra) from Jan. 2, 2025. B&B: Electra screaming -- that's from when she sees the the wall in Remy's apartment full of deepfake photos that Remy made of her - from the end of the Dec. 26, 2024 episode. B&B: Electra running down the street after she escapes from Remy, from Dec. 31, 2024. I haven't watched or read much on the Remy/Electra/Will storyline. Was it any good? Is this something B&B should feel worth promoting? Is the Will/Remy romance popular? I'm not snarking here, I just honestly don't know because I wasn't following it.

Agree. I looked up some of the Y&R and B&B scenes in that combined promo with BTG. WHY would they use mostly bad scenes from the past year? Nothing that interesting. I mean Hope/Carter is sort of interesting. But Billy/Sally? Nope. Kyle/Claire? Dull. Steffy in Luna's cage was a terrible storyline. And Diane's excitement about yet another business line - really? I guess they picked the Ridge/Taylor clip to maybe attract AMC Zach/Greenlee fans? Because otherwise, why pick that scene? Edit, it's from Dec. 23, 2024 when Ridge is about to romance Taylor in the bedroom, and they hold up drinks .... but the rest of the scene is that he spills a drink on Taylor's shirt, and they stop, and Taylor changes into an extra shirt of Ridge's; at which point Brooke arrives and makes assumptions. It's like the staff of Y&R and B&B just randomly grabbed some stuff to include, without having any idea if it's compelling.

Here's a twitter version of CBS multi-soap promo that was released on IG today https://x.com/MicheleValJean/status/1890203478334881858 I was able to use the gear icon on the tweet to slow it down to see the various scenes... These are the non-BTG scenes being used: Y&R: Claire/Kyle kiss B&B: Steffy in Luna's cage (August/Sept. 2024) B&B: Ridge/Taylor toasting and starting to kiss Y&R: Claire/Kyle starting to undress and then onto the bed Y&R: Billy and Sally against the wall of a room B&B: Will Spencer and Remy fighting Jan. 2, 2025 B&B: Carter and Hope kissing, Hope on the bed. Y&R: imaginary Cameron Kirsten with Sharon ?? A woman screaming B&B: Electra running down the street Dec. 31, 2024 Y&R: Jack and Diane - Diane says "I like the sound of that", from Dec. 6, 2024. (She's responding to Jack mentioning a launch of "Jabot Classic".)
