re: Rosemary Prinz in "Send Me No Flowers" in Beverly, Massachusetts, 1970. This must be the production at North Shore Music Theatre in Beverly. MA https://www.nsmt.org/musicalhistory.html Rosemary Prinz appeared at the same North Shore Music Theatre again in 1990, starring in Driving Miss Daisy (in a touring company). https://www.abouttheartists.com/characters/229-daisy-werthan-in-driving-miss-daisy-by-alfred-uhry?page=6 (I see that @slick jones has listed on her profile some of her theatre performances as Daisy, but not this one.) It looks like she did "Driving Miss Daisy" in several cities across the USA through the years as part of the 2nd national touring cast https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Driving_Miss_Daisy_(play)#Historical_casting

whoops, thanks, of course!

I much preferred the early years of the Nurses Ball when the focus was fundraising for AIDS research. I despise the emphasis on attendees' wardrobe and the "red carpet" interviews. It should NOT be about the "who's who in Port Charles" !!!! Sometimes they mention Robin as an afterthought but the entire original premise has been so diluted. Recent years have felt like a social media instagram likes/followers contest -- instead of the founding purpose about science and relieving suffering. I don't mind Lucy wearing a gown or several gowns; but I think the rest of the characters should be wearing business attire, and not tuxedos and gowns. Sony Eddy (the actress who played head nurse Epiphany) -- in real life she championed the nursing profession. Just like actress Mariska Hargitay of SVU does support causes to help rape victims. When Sonya Eddy died, a few real-life cast&crew of GH suggested creating a real-life scholarship for nursing students, as a way to honor Sonya (I don't know if that ever happened). I had hoped that the fictional characters could do something similar: To update the Nurses Ball to continue funding HIV research but also to create scholarships for nursing students (and/or medical students) who want to dedicate their lives to serving others. Maybe include the idea of raising funds for scholarships for girls and women pursuing any STEM career (STEM = science, technology, engineering, and mathematics). The 2023 Nurses Ball was done in conjunction with the GH 60th Anniversary year, and they wanted to make it also be an occasion to honor Jackie Zeman's 40 years on GH by making the fictional Nurses Ball a tribute to Bobbie. This was when Jackie was still alive and her illness was not publicly known. I did like that a lot, but I still hated the sequined gowns and the red carpet nonsense. I'm guessing the tribute to Bobbie/Jackie was long-planned, so they centered it around that. Sonya died unexpectedly a few months before/after that. I very much liked the separate tribute that GH did for Sonya with Epiphany's memorial service, ending with Rachel Ames' voice on the phone as Audrey telling Elizabeth that she was chosen as Head Nurse to replace Epiphany. [oops. Edit: Leslie Charleson's voice on the phone as Monica.] I miss the real-life N'neka Garland (the GH producer, not the fictional bartender character who was named after the producer). The real-life N'neka died the same year as Jackie and Sonya. Several of the cast and crew said she was the heart of the show and always knew what to do, how to plan, and how to be supportive, and she really ran the show. I feel like she would have caught the missing threads and championed the scholarship. Anyhow, for future Nurses Ball events, I would like to see refocus on medicine, science, and service. Now is the time to bring up the idea for a scholarship -- I'd love to see Elizabeth champion it. Edit to add: Another idea for the Ball: to raise funds for research for multiple diseases in addition to HIV. But keep HIV since HIV programs still need funding.

Monday May 25 (Memorial Day) is a repeat of an Erika Slezak episode, as described here (link)

"Monday, May 25: Amy is crushed by what's recovered from the river." Sounds like items but not a body?

The funeral program says Monday May 25 (which happens to be Memorial Day). But actual TVListings show Monday May 25 as a one-day repeat of the BTS episode "Inside Fairmont Crest" that first aired January 19, 2026 on M.L.King Day. (link to BTS episode description). The actual spoilers for the rest of that week will be posted on the spoiler thread when they're officially released.

it's a repeat episode for Memorial Day "Monday, May 25, 2026 (Original airdate: July 3, 2019)". Episode #11720 (season 46, episode 212) recap here: https://soaps.sheknows.com/the-young-and-the-stless/recaps/544873/victoria-squares-off-phyllis-targets-dark-horse/

I heard that night that she'd won, of course, but I didn't see the ceremony. This is the first time I've seen this clip! Thanks so much for posting it. What really hits me is the cheering from her fellow actors in the room, their genuine delight!

It seems to have embedded but won't play on my device. oh wait, I just remembered: Mishael has her instagram account set up so as to disallow anyone to embed her posts. (Anyone can choose to have their IG account set up that way). ------------------ Here's a clickable link for the video, plus the text of her post: https://www.instagram.com/p/DXo4GikkXpQ/ April 27, 2026 mishaelmorgan Grateful for such a powerful night at the 17th Annual University of the West Indies Toronto Benefit Awards! A room rooted in purpose. Reminding us that as we rise, we must reach back and lift others from our communities. As a proud Trini 🇹🇹, it meant so much to hear stories of resilience from the incredible scholarship recipients and celebrate their journeys. So honoured to share space with leaders like Dr. Siyabulela Mandela and my Y&R family Tonya Williams. They are true examples of impact and legacy. Here’s to building the next generation of Caribbean trailblazers… And dancing to soca while we do! #UWI #TriniPride #LiftAsWeClimb #CaribbeanExcellence @uwicanada @janaearmogan @patricia_j @dwight_drummond @imtonyawilliams

I've gotten this intermittently today and last night. (from desktop Windows PC, Chrome browser). When this happens, I refresh the page, but then it displays weirdly and suggests that I use the SON app. I ignore that and refresh the page again and it works fine. Edit to add, I think it said SON has an "app", but I wasn't aware such a SON app exists? I didn't take a screenshot of that -- if it happens again, I will.

There's no answer to this, of course, but where's Taggert?

Okay thanks, Willow blackmailing Nina makes more sense than the old weepy desperate NIna.

We're all lost on that! pages of discussion on the April and May threads. LOL. Just doesn't make sense.
