^ from @JAS0N47's site: Sandra D. Robinson (Charlotte Taylor) 12/1/08-1/22/09 From soapcentral, her character bio: (Link) She said in her IG post that she worked with Drake for only a few months. So many cast/crew who knew Drake for short periods of time long ago, still have lasting impressions of his kindness and supportiveness.

Sandra Dee Robinson She played this role: https://web.archive.org/web/20150911060136/http://soapcentral.com/days/whoswho/charlotte.php meimsandradee (Sandra Dee Robinson) It seems like yesterday. Drake was so very kind to everyone. When I joined the DOOL cast from day one, Drake was a supportive force. He never engaged in negative talk and just was a gem of a human. I feel honored to have worked with him although it was only a few months. You are missed Drake. You’ve definitely left this world a better place for being in it. #drakehogestyn #daysofourlives #gratefulheart

If you have a VPN, you can catch the USA Oct 2 episode via Canada's episode dated Oct. 1st (day ahead in Canada) https://www.globaltv.com/shows/the-young-and-the-restless/

Regardless of actress, I don't think the character of Kristen has "heart", except for *maybe* her first year on the show decades ago. Kristen is a sociopath.

The new 2024 fall season premiere for Y&R is October 3. https://boards.soapoperanetwork.com/topic/67414-article-‘the-young-and-the-restless’-sets-season-52-premiere-date-teases-what’s-to-come/ Every year, for Y&R, CBS pulls the prior season episodes as soon as the new season debuts, so everything through Oct 2 has now been deleted. Hopefully they'll start uploading new season episodes today? The B&B fall 2024 season premiere was Sept 16.

Ali Sweeney used to work with Cameron Mathison for her series of Hallmark movies. After Mathison left Hallmark for a different TV movie network, Victor Webster became Ali Sweeney's Hallmark movies screen partner. (Victor Webster played Nicholas Alamain on DAYS 1999-2000). Sweeney and Webster have now done several movies together. A few days ago, Victor Webster commented on Ali Sweeney's IG post about Drake: https://www.instagram.com/p/DAfFUORPt9E/ (Webster may have commented more, but that's what I've seen so far.)

soapsdotcom (soaps.sheknows) brief statement from Ali Sweeney. Note: the site referred to Drake as portraying Ali's onscreen stepfather. Although John was legally that, Drake's Roman was Sami's dad for many years, and even after he learned that he wasn't Roman, John still thought of Sami as his daughter. https://soaps.sheknows.com/days-of-our-lives/news/747114/alison-sweeney-remembers-drake-hogestyn/ Alison Sweeney Shares Her Memories of Drake Hogestyn, a ‘Hero’ and ‘Giant Man’ (just quoting Ali here, and omitting the soapsdotcom commentary) “It was devastating news for us to find out that Drake had passed away on Saturday,” she said. “But no surprise to me was the outpouring of love for him and the reaction from the fans.” “He’s someone I remember meeting my very first day on set, teaching me the ropes and making us all feel at home,” she said. “Every person who’s ever met him or has had the pleasure to meet him felt what I felt has have been feeling for the last 48 hours. “He was a hero, a giant man and wonderful and giving and thoughtful with every person he met,” she continued. “He was so kind to me when I started in ’93.” soapsdotcom: No matter what else was going on, Hogestyn had an enviable gift for focusing and making everyone feel seen. Ali: “He still gave you his attention, he gave you his time, he looked you in the eye, he told you a funny story. I know the key elements of the conversation he had with you, because that’s how he treated everybody,” Sweeney said. “He made time, he gave himself to every person he spoke to — you just don’t meet people like that every day — and there’s always a good baseball analogy in there, too. Always, always. He’ll be missed.”

As @Wendy mentioned way way back in this thread, there is a Twitter account ( @ xotonironixo ) that is tracking and reposting all the comments and statements from cast&crew, just as a kind service to all of us. (This same Twitter account gave this same service when John Aniston and Bill Hayes passed.) I don't know the twitter person personally; but it feels (to me) like a simple kindness, and not something done for clout. They commented that they recently got a lot of followers, but credited that as a testimony to the universal love everyone has for Drake Hogestyn and John Black -- and the wonderful kindness that Drake showed to all.

I agree. The poster asking the question isn't the type of person who gloms onto scoop, or who seeks the thrill of reading about anyone's grief, or who demands a statement. I agree that the poster asked a simple sincere question just being curious to know what Kirsten Storms said if she chose to post. My reply to the question is that I follow Kirsten Storms, and I haven't seen anything ... but as I mentioned above, quite a few current&former cast/crew have been posting comments to one another, on one another's social media, instead of making their own posts, so such comments could have been missed amidst the hundreds of comments from fans. OR maybe KS is simply being private, or taking her time.

I'm sure some current and former cast/crew/friends are remaining private. Reaching out privately to one another or privately to the family, instead of posting. Some current/former cast/crew are commenting directly to one another -- on each other's social media (instead of making their own posts), so it's hard to see unless you scroll through hundreds of comments. I've come across some of these comments but I haven't noted them all. I agree with all who posted above-thread that of course there shouldn't be any expectation for anyone to say or do anything.

horrible pretending to be nice, psychopath, zealot owned by the worst of the worst. Yeah, all of that.

To clarify my post, I *KNOW* that he's evil, and I'm not fooled. What I meant was that he might have seemed civil/coherent/polished -- to those who are unaware. I said that I need that facade to crack, but what I meant was that I need that facade to be completely smashed. It was ENRAGING to me to watch this horrible man pretend to be nice.

Speaking of toes, this could have been a Sheila plot, since Heather is/was the mother figure for Sheila's biological granddaughter Lucy. But I hope it's not that! I don't want to see Sheila.

Errol changed the forum settings last week, so that we have 60 minutes from the time we first make a post ... in which to edit that post. (There's a thread about that in the support forum). I just edited my post about the unsealed motion a few times, catching crucial errors I had made, just in time before my 60 minutes were up.

Remember the Supreme Court ruled that whatever the President does as president is immune from prosecution? Well here is the update on one of the indictments. It clarifies that the Supreme Court ruled that a few specific activities that Trump did which the indictment cited -- those few actions were ruled as Trump acting as president, so therefore those actions are immune -- but the Supreme Court also ruled (in the same ruling) that some of Trump's activities would be kicked back down to the previous (lower) court to decide if those activities were done as presidential function or as a private citizen. This newly-unsealed document (motion filed by Jack Smith) now released by Judge Tanya Chutkan -- asserts that what Trump did regarding January 6th was as a private citizen acting as a candidate, and not as part of his presidential function. Therefore Jack Smith asserts that those activities are NOT immune. Edit to add that Jack Smith mentions co-conspirators in his motion. Many of the names are redacted (but it is clear who some of them are). I read what I could but it's 165 pages long so ... I'm not sure where/how it goes from here... READ the motion here: https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.dcd.258148/gov.uscourts.dcd.258148.252.0.pdf (edited to fix some terminology errors I had made)

Vance seemed way more coherent and polished than expected. He was hiding the fact that he's an evil lunatic, with terrible plans for all of us. I need that facade to crack badly.

It's true what he says in this clip. They could give him a crazy storyline because he'd play it as real as he could, and it worked. He played every scene as if it were real, in the moment, and never tongue-in-cheek..
