Cameron Mathison lost his home today, too. Tracey Bregman lost her main California home in a fire a few years ago. She had just moved into her other residence in Nashville at the time, but was commuting to L.A. to film Y&R. Tracey is now posting on her IG stories empathetic words for all caught in the current fires, as well as the latest updates on refuges for animals

twitter: Los Angeles Fire Department announcements https://x.com/LAFD Los Angeles Fire Department discussion https://x.com/LAFDtalk Los Angeles County Fire https://x.com/LACOFD/status/ Cal Fire (State of California) https://x.com/CAL_FIRE The Fire Departments staff are too busy to post on all the social media at this point. (some of their twitter accounts are outdated by a few hours as new fires sprang up fast) I've been reading https://www.latimes.com/ to see the latest

Current list of fires in Los Angeles County (two pages right now) https://www.fire.ca.gov/ The newest one is the Sunset Fire in the Hollywood Hills

@JAS0N47 thanks for the Burbank news update you posted. There have been additional fires popping up. Every time I check, it seems like there's another fire. As of January 8, 2025: Some of the current fires in Los Angeles County: https://www.fire.ca.gov/ Hurst Fire in Sylmar in the San Fernando Valley Palisades Fire near the coast Eaton Fire in Altadena/Pasadena Woodley Fire in the Sepulveda Basin near North Hollywood Lidia Fire in Acton NEW: Sunset Fire near Runyon Canyon in the Hollywood Hills

FYI, as @AbcNbc247 pointed out on the other thread https://boards.soapoperanetwork.com/topic/68008-article-‘general-hospital’-issues-statement-in-light-of-raging-la-county-fires-“may-prove-too-difficult-to-watch-for-some”/#comment-1984052 Cameron Mathison said today that his house was destroyed in the fire.

Thanks, Jason. I didn't know that Robin Thicke had appeared on Days as one of the Christmas hospital children. Makes sense, though.

I think Chanel was referring to her grandmother Olivia, played by Marla Gibbs.

This May 2022 rerun sounds annoying. Michael/Drew/Carly, Ned/Valentin, and Esme/Nikolas/Ava. I have no desire to revisit any of that. I don't really care about Chase singing to Leo and Brook Lynn. The Spencer/Sam scenes sound interesting but .... both characters are gone now, and they're discussing Esme, who I never want to hear about again!

I grew up on Peter Paul and Mary music. I didn't know any of this info about him Quoting the NYT obit: Mr. Yarrow had been accused of making sexual advances toward a 14-year-old girl who had come to his dressing room with her 17-year-old sister seeking an autograph in 1969. He served three months of a one-to-three-year prison sentence after pleading guilty to taking “indecent liberties” with the girl. In 1981, Mr. Yarrow received a presidential pardon from Jimmy Carter, though the case continued to be an issue for many years during election campaigns for politicians whom Mr. Yarrow supported. In 2019, during the height of the #MeToo movement against sexual abuse of women, a scheduled performance by Mr. Yarrow at an upstate New York arts festival was canceled in response to protests. A remorseful Mr. Yarrow responded in a statement by saying that the organizers’ choice to exclude him was not “unfair or unjust.” “I do not seek to minimize or excuse what I have done and I cannot adequately express my apologies and sorrow for the pain and injury I have caused,” he said in a statement to The New York Times. In 1969, Mr. Yarrow married Marybeth McCarthy, a niece of the Democratic presidential candidate Eugene McCarthy. (Mr. Stookey wrote “Wedding Song,” which has since been performed in their honor at wedding ceremonies around the world.) The marriage ended in divorce, but they remarried in 2022. In addition to her, Mr. Yarrow is survived by a son, Christopher; a daughter, Bethany; and a granddaughter.

This scene is some of the best of Y&R. And yeah Sandra Nelson rocks!

As already announced: Tuesday January 7, GH is preempted for President Jimmy Carter. The update is that some locations will air a rerun. (per zap2it.com TV listings in some markets) General Hospital – Season 59, Episode 171 Original airdate: May 17, 2022 Michael and Drew receive an unexpected offer from Carly; Leo reminds Chase about his promise; Ned has a meeting with an unexpected someone. Here's Dustin's full recap of the episode: https://soaps.sheknows.com/general-hospital/recaps/631481/general-hospital-spencer-confides-sam-about-real-esme/ Why would they rerun that episode? I have previously stated that I thought GH usually picked reruns that have some characters or scenes that are connected to current episodes in some way, but I don't see the connection here.

That link is now broken -- it goes to an msn "unavailable" page. But msn often copies articles from other sites, so I searched that headline. That headline wording is identical to a soapcentral headline, which tells us what we already knew: that GH is definitely preempted Jan 7; unknown Jan 7 status for B&B and Y&R. And unknown status for all three soaps for Jan 9. https://www.soapcentral.com/young-and-restless/news-dvr-alert-pre-emptions-tuesday-january-7th-the-young-restless-the-bold-beautiful-general-hospital

Oh thanks! After looking further, I found this, which tells what happens to bills during prorogation: https://globalnews.ca/news/10944498/parliament-prorogued-justin-trudeau-resigns/

I didn't know what "prorogue" meant so I looked it up. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prorogation_in_Canada I don't quite understand, does this mean that everything is just on pause for a while?

ABC News announced and Errol confirmed that GH is preempted on Tuesday January 7th. Nothing has been announced for Y&R or B&B. Presumably the Jan 7th GH preemption is for coverage of President Jimmy Carter's body being brought from Atlanta to Washington DC, and a ceremony in the Capitol Rotunda. The following was announced on the spoiler threads, but bringing over here to the nonspoiler thread: *Speculation* that there might be a preemption of the network soaps on Thursday January 9th, for more Jimmy Carter ceremonies? To be announced.

This was posted on the spoilers thread but, as some SON members don't read spoiler threads, reposting here: https://x.com/ErrolLewis/status/1876332287899643951 -------------- I don't know but I assume this January 7th GH preemption is for coverage of President Jimmy Carter's body being brought from Atlanta to Washington DC, and a ceremony in the Capitol Rotunda. Speculation that there might be another preemption Thursday January 9th, to be announced.

Stephen Collins played Teddy's husband at the end. I wasn't aware of his BTS behavior at the time. Now I wonder if anything icky happened with him on the Sisters set? (hopefully not but these guys are usually repeat offenders)

Trudeau's resignation is already being discussed on the politics thread. I posted this there, but I'll add it here, too: The Guardian's analysis: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/jan/06/why-is-canadas-justin-trudeau-stepping-down-as-prime-minister

DAYS has been that way for years, especially noticeable when an actor has different haircuts in the same episode. Didn't realize that GH did that, too.
