hmmm when I read Martha's post, I didn't catch the "not too long ago" I had thought she was referring to recent years? I had assumed Martha was referring to when Marlena was in a coma and Belle had to do the legal thing with the DNR, and Belle and John argued? Marlena almost died then but revived. Or even more recently with the poisoning thing when Marlena, Kayla, and Kate supposedly died and went to heaven but were actually comatose in Megan Hathaway's lab... remember when they thought Marlena was dying from the poison then -- that John and Marlena went on the rooftop to watch the slideshow. Was there a Belle scene that week?

Through the years, there have been so many stories told by new and returning Days actors, that Drake welcomed them with genuine warmth, kindness, enthusiasm, and mentorship.

Christopher Sean https://www.instagram.com/p/DAfLN4uxwAl/ mrchristophersean I will always love you. You were more than just my tv dad, in my eyes you were my dad. Thank you for everything you taught me and the love you gave me. The world lost a true Hero. Miss and love you Drake. Rest in Peace Dad

Martha Madison https://www.instagram.com/p/DAfKI85peo0/ marth27 Today, the world lost a great man, Salem lost its greatest hero, and I lost one of my favorite scene partners. With a heart full of baseball, Drake was the embodiment of team spirit and mentored so many of us at #Days like a true team Captain. He was also a cheerleader. One of my favorite memories of Drake was from not too long ago. He knew I was super nervous as I was preparing to deliver a five page deathbed monologue, and after we finished the scene (both soaked in tears and snot), he gave me a huge hug and whispered, “Kid, it was like that moment when you hear the crack of the bat against a long ball that flies into the stands and the crowd goes wild.” I always knew if I was working with him that I would need to spend a little extra time on my scene prep. He was always off book and word perfect, and in 20 years I don’t think I ever remember him holding a script. More than that, he was always ready to play. He loved diving into our father/daughter dynamics, and there was no place I could go in a scene where he wasn’t exactly right there with me. Drake was full of enthusiasm and humor and aways told the most amazing stories. He loved being an actor and always showed grace and gratitude when it came to his work and his fans. He loved his family deeply and was over the moon to be a Grandfather. I’m sending my deepest sympathies to his family and to all of the cast, crew and fans who have loved him for decades. #RIP ❤️🕊️ @drakehogestyn

Remember we were talking earlier in this very thread about JG liking to write dark on other soaps, and now here he's doing it for Y&R.

Agreed. Also, WTF.

Stevie Nicks released this song on Sept. 26 and she'll be on Saturday Night Live on Oct. 12. (Don't know if she'll sing this then, but hopefully) I wrote this song a few months after Roe v. Wade was overturned. It seemed like overnight, people were saying “what can we, as a collective force, do about this…” For me, it was to write a song. It took a while because I was on the road. Then early one morning I was watching the news on TV and a certain newscaster said something that felt like she was talking to me~ explaining what the loss of Roe v. Wade would come to mean. I wrote the song the next morning and recorded it that night. That was September 6, 2022. I have been working on it ever since. I have often said to myself, “This may be the most important thing I ever do. To stand up for the women of the United States and their daughters and granddaughters ~ and the men that love them. This is an anthem. ~ Stevie Nicks fyi Stevie Nicks is backed by Sheryl Crow, who plays guitar and bass as well as singing backing vocals. Crow also co-produced the song with 13-time Grammy winning Dave Cobb. https://www.theguardian.com/music/2024/sep/27/stevie-nicks-song-abortion-rights-the-lighthouse-fleetwood-mac Lyrics here: https://genius.com/Stevie-nicks-the-lighthouse-lyrics
