Y&R: February 2025 Spoilers
From scrolling through Eileen's IG account, it seems that she's been doing a lot of fun stuff with her husband lately, such as watching pickleball, and participating herself in his poker tournaments, and also going on vacations, and doing family stuff. As she says on her IG post "Working a little. Playing a lot." She's taping Y&R on Feb. 19, so I guess this wardrobe airs near end of March, give or take a week. https://www.instagram.com/p/DGRWHAKydsk/ February 19, 2025 eileendavidsonofficial Working a little. Playing a lot. @youngandrestlesscbs @mandiline ❤️

The Politics Thread
I mean, a $9.00 daily fee for all New Yorkers ... isn't as important as ... the USA abandoning Europe, Trump calling Zelenskyy a dictator who caused Ukraine to start a war with Russia, Trump aligning with Putin and China, Musk taking over the US government, massive layoffs of federal employees, and book bannings in schools. but still, I enjoyed Governor Huchul's rant. And she backed it up with legal action to stop Trump.

The Politics Thread
Currently New York has laws or regulations that relieve traffic congestion, so that cars and public transportation can run on time, with less traffic jams and less pollution. It's working and people are better able to get to work. Edit to add: It's a daily $9.00 fee designed to reduce traffic in heart of Manhattan and raise billions to upgrade subway train and bus systems Trump issued some order against New York to try to stop this regulation, and if he succeeds, then traffic congestion will get much worse. People have been protesting saying that Trump is not a king and doesn't have the right to take over everything. In response to this, Trump made a fake Time Magazine cover (except that it's titled TRUMP instead of TIME) and he put himself on this "cover" as with a golden crown on his head, saying he's triumphing over the New York traffic situation. It's gross, so I won't post the image here. WELL, the Governor of New York State, Kathy Hochul, is ANGRY. She just gave a press conference asserting the rights of New York residents, and lambasting Trump and U.S. Transportation Secretary Duffy. This is amazing. Governor Hochul did not hold back. The first few minutes of the youtube are blank, waiting for the press conference to start. She comes on at 5:30.

Rant: I just can't make myself watch a show featuring three rapists. EJ forced Sami to have sex in exchange for agreeing to save Lucas' life (with the understanding that if she said no, then Lucas would remain in a harmful situation and/or left to die). So that's rape by coercion. When Sami was in relationship with Rafe (or married to Rafe), EJ put Arnold in EJ's bed for a while as Rafe's lookalike. That's Arnold committing rape by impersonation, *and* EJ committing rape by arranging the crime. I heard that EJ had a throwaway line of dialogue a while back that he understands consent better now. Really? That doesn't fix things. That's not a way to write a character. That's just a plot device to put whatever character in whatever storyline. Kristen has raped multiple people. I just don't want to watch any of these people. /end rant I don't care if Martha and Dan have chemistry as Belle and EJ. It's gross because EJ raped Belle's sister! EDIT to add: rapist Ava is on the show too.

The above promo via Tamara Tunie instagram Feb. 19th The announcer says "CBS Daytime is about to get ....... soapier" with these words flashing on the screen while he says that: "CBS Daytime is about to get sexier, feistier, spicier, dicier, messier, soapier". That phrasing and some of the graphics are like the combined BTG/B&B/Y&R promo released last week. And the other elements are taken from some of the BTG promos we've already seen.- BTG: History, Behind the Scenes Articles & Photos

Okay re-reading the paragraphs I quoted -- it's not necessarily one's first contract .... Just within one's first two years on the show, even if only recurring?- GH: Classic Thread

My father served in World War II. (yes that's accurate - I'm a senior citizen and my father was middle-aged when I was born). He was lifelong military AND lifelong Democrat/liberal with caring about world affairs and international friendship. He'd just be so upset now! He lived through McCarthyism and talked about how horrid that was, and that's similar to what Musk is doing internally in the USA right now. But what's happening now is much worse. And the international stance is just terrifying. I just cannot imagine what he'd say about this.- GH: Classic Thread
Thanks! This Feb.2025 SOD article quotes, in part, an SOD mini-interview from 2021. I found that here: https://www.soapoperadigest.com/photos/scene-and-heard-1707864/ It was a single block of text, as a caption to an image. (sorry but there were no paragraphs/spacing). (The image was credited as being "from twitter" but doesn't say whose twitter). This was for the SOD "Scene and Heard" feature, in September 2021: Here's the image and caption: According to Jon Lindstrom (Kevin/ Ryan), the creative evolution of his characters on GH is thanks in no small part to the contributions of one of the show’s former scribes, Michele Val Jean. He says her influence on Kevin can be felt “in every way possible. The character was created out of necessity to, at that time, replace Ryan with someone who looked like me and who didn’t need to be redeemed, since Ryan was unredeemable. [Then-Head Writer] Claire Labine threw Michele the reins and then she and I talked a lot about what ways Kevin could be differentiated from Ryan. Michele is an incredibly articulate, well-read person. I think Kevin’s syntax, the way he speaks, never would have developed clearly without her.” Pairing Kevin with Lucy was “all Michele,” he adds. “It was her idea to put them together. I think her take on it was something like, ‘What if Lucy goes to therapy, not because she thinks she needs it, but because she thinks Kevin is cute?’ She pitched it to Claire and she told Michele to run with it. And man, did she ever! The story of how Lucy chased Kevin, who didn’t trust his own heart then, was her doing. She wrote all those scenes, so she was, in a word, indispensable. She not only wrote the Kevin/Lucy stuff, but she was primary writer on all the Kevin/Ryan scenes going forward. She told me the first significant thing she wrote of Ryan was his first confession in the police station with Sean and Mac, and that she fell in love with his ‘crazy’ from those scenes and wanted to write him every chance she got. Ryan was so well-defined in a twisted sort of way, and only Michele can pull that off.” Their collaboration was constant in those days. “We talked all the time! I’d come up to her office — she was working in the building back when writers did that — and we’d throw ideas around. Things like motivation, backstory, Kevin’s thoughts and feelings about Ryan and their separate history, Kevin’s guilt, nature vs. nurture, all kinds of angles. We got to be great friends through that process, so there’s an added bonus. We still are today. She has so much more to give. She should be doing feature films.” (end quote from SOD Sept. 2021) ------ The new SOD article Feb. 16, 2025 that @Vee linked to, quotes some of that, and then adds new quotes from Lindstrom about his casting on BTG, and his continued respect for MVJ. https://www.soapoperadigest.com/content/jon-lindstrom-and-cady-mcclain-join-the-cast-of-beyond-the-gates/ -------------------- BTG: History, Behind the Scenes Articles & Photos
