GV is known for telling his truth in interviews. I remember some of his DAYS interviews from years ago. I appreciate it so much.

Karla was commuting from L.A. until summer 2025, then moved to Atlanta -- she mentioned this on her instagram. Daphnée was still living in the midwest but was in Atlanta for the summer -- not sure where Daphnée is based now, I haven't had time to follow actors' igs lately. Lindstrom was recurring on GH even before BTG began. He likes the time to write and promote his novels.

Scotty's mother!

Omg I watched them live that year. I was a teenager watching after school. I don't remember Brooke or Howie (I remember that Brooke existed but I don't remember what she was like. No idea who Howie was.) I totally remember Meg Baldwin then. That's * exactly * how I remember her! Totally her tone and emotional intensity. Meg was so troubled that it had a profound effect on me. I was battling depression myself and realized that I couldn't handle Meg's emotions because it sent me spiraling further. I had to take a break from GH for a while then because Meg was so intense. Wow that video brings it all back. Thankfully it's decades later and I have coping skills, LOL.

How to find the spoiler tag on this new version of the forums -- @Errol explained it here

Same. What I had to do was go to the main site of soapoperanetwork (the site, not the board), then click "community" and it let me in.

I started watching OLTL in 1969. I remember the original Viki/Niki split. The terminology "D.I.D." (dissociative identity disorder) did not exist back then. They simply called it "split personality". When the book and movie "Sybil" came out in the mid-1970s, I already knew about splitting from Viki/Niki. I was surprised that Sybil had so many alternate personalities, because I had thought there could be only two (the real/main one like Viki, and the other one like Niki). (This was long before OLTL changed it to show Viki having many alters)

love this!

Loren Lott (Devon's sister Ana Y&R) - appeared as a "young Vivian" (a younger version of Aunt Viv) on Bel-Air for the Thanksgiving 2025 episode. Loren's ig post about the experience https://www.instagram.com/p/DRtBZCKiQVg/ This post is from the current Aung Viv actress Cassandra Freeman talking about Loren portraying her a younger version of her character https://www.instagram.com/p/DRvKRlFkiAV/

Fyi the actress who played Marissa (Sofia Pernas) speaks 5 languages in real life. Y&R started out with the character having an accent, and then later on the show had her tone down the accent. A few years later, Sofia Pernas married Justin Hartley and they are still married.

What Gina's Phyllis went through via Marco was terribly horrible and much worse than anything Jack went through! Also Victor was guilty of rape by arranging for Marco to bed Gina. It's legally called "rape by fraud" or "rape by impersonation". Later on, there is a trial. Gina's scene on the witness stand is truly amazing. Stafford would have been horrible in this -- she would have just smirked.

Kassie De Paiva as Eve Donovan on Days. This recasting did not work at all. Charlotte Ross owned the role July 16, 1987-July 12, 1991. Kassie DePaiva brought back the character 23 years later in 2024. I guess Ron Carlivati thought the 23-year gap wouldn't matter? Kassie's portrayal was like a completely different character -- She wasn't Eve. I think those who liked Kassie in role were already Kassie fans. But otherwise, I didn't see much approval of the recasting.

Fast this morning!

Just noticed Donnell said this in the last paragraph: ". . . to be the first Black American legacy family on the show is just a huge privilege." The * first * Black American legacy family on GH? What about the Wards?
