Meanwhile, in Canada: Accessibility for contraception (and for diabetes medication) made easier and free: https://globalnews.ca/news/10807237/canada-pharmacare-plan-what-to-know/ "These agreements will support reproductive freedom by providing up to nine million women and gender diverse people in Canada free access to contraception"

omg that's totally her persona. I laughed so hard reading that! I'd like to see Abby as a real human, but none of the actresses or writers have succeeded at making her feel real.

^ from the preview video -- Phyllis to Lucy: "Wouldn't you like to know about your grandmother? I have a few stories to tell you." -- So I'm wondering, which of Lucy's grandmothers is Phyllis referring to? April Stevens, Sheila Carter, or herself Phyllis? Seeing as this is the week of the Michelle Stafford anniv Phyllis-centric episode, I'm guessing Phyllis will talk about herself. (Phyllis could maybe tell Lucy about a Sheila-Phyllis storyline, but I doubt it)

Obama's October 10 speech at Pittsburgh Harris/Walz rally:

Here's the youtube: "The War and Treaty" is the duo singing with Jon Bon Jovi https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_War_and_Treaty He posted the lyrics under the youtube: Come in and leave your mind open It's time we let love in Mother, father, I am broken Barely breathing but I’m hoping Theres forgiveness for my sins. I had a dream last night And in that dream, I lost my sight. Life left me deaf, dumb, and blind, woke up to realize We’re still asleep with open eyes We are building this house of love Building this house Building this house… This is the people’s house From sea to shining sea The rocky mountains built these walls These halls are our city streets No wrecking ball is gonna knock it down No body gonna come to steal the keys This is the people’s house The house of you and me Time for the turning of the page It’s time to say goodbye Old ways have changed No crime to look out for each other Father, mother, sister, brother, Can’t keep fighting one another We are building this house of love Building this house building this house… This is the people’s house From sea to shining sea The rocky mountains built these walls These halls are our city streets Nobody’s gonna knock it down Nobody’s gonna come to steal the keys This is the people’s house The house of you and me I wasn’t born a man of privilege But I’m privileged just the same No rain will wash away the stain No truth can hide us from the shame Until we all believe in change... We are building this house of love Building this house Building this house… This is the people’s house From sea to shining sea The rocky mountains built these walls These halls are our city streets No wrecking ball is gonna knock it down Nobody gonna come to steal the keys This is the people’s house The house of you and me This is the people’s house

^ so Casey Moss returning as JJ Deveraux, has his first return scenes in Paris, not Salem?

Lily Brooks O'Briant (Lucy Romalotti) on the death of Heather (There are no spoilers in this interview) https://www.soapoperadigest.com/content/exclusive-young-and-restlesss-lily-brooks-obriant-lucy-on-the-death-of-heather/

So did Ms. Rowell coincidentally post that pic of Wynton on the morning of Oct. 4? Or is she following GH and noticed that Wynton was mentioned Oct. 3?

This is off-topic, sort of, but it's reel/real soap relevant, and the timing is interesting. October 3rd GH episode, the fictional character Marshall Ashford tells Curtis that he has an opportunity to go on tour with jazz great Wynton Marsalis. Actor Robert Gossett has exited GH for the time being but could return later. Wynton Marsalis' real life music biography: https://wyntonmarsalis.org/about/bio The next morning, October 4th, in real life, Victoria Rowell posted a throwback picture of herself with her ex-partner Wynton Marsalis and their baby or toddler son Jasper Marsalis. Jasper Marsalis is now a music producer. He also performs with the stage name " Slauson Malone 1 ". Jasper's IG (Link) and YT (Link) Same throwback post from Ms. Rowell's IG: https://www.instagram.com/p/DAtFeUCvKOC/

I cannot see your posted image. I see only "img_1_172860475534_85.jpg" I realize you must be referring to Van Hansis on The Locher Room Oct. 16 October 16, 3pm EDT, noon PDT https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qoYe8p-mQ8o

re: Holly and Eric not flying back to Paris together: Well I think that BTS, it's because (as already mentioned) GV as Eric Brady is doing scenes that written for John Black -- since Drake had sadly 😭 stopped taping. But storyline-wise, character-wise, I don't know how they'd explain that. I remember viewers/posters/twitter wondering why John was in Greece so long and Steve looked into it a little, but most of the characters didn't comment much about John being missing, or the characters knew but didn't say much. Now we know that BTS Drake was very ill 😭 and the writers just didn't explain much. We still don't know how John ended up in Poplar Bluff. I was so sad to learn that Drake had been ill. Clearly some of the cast knew, but I don't think everyone knew, that Drake was ill. Hard for writers to come up with something to explain him being missing, especially since Drake and the family didn't want it public news that he was ill at the time. 😭

Cissy Houston was also Dionne Warwick's aunt. The cousins singing, tweeted a few days before Cissy passed.

DAYS used a stock photo of a hospital in Tel Aviv. https://www.dreamstime.com/aerial-drone-view-assuta-hospital-ramat-hachayal-tel-aviv-aerial-drone-video-offers-bird-s-eye-view-assuta-video288868269 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assuta_Medical_Center Screenshot from DAYS, October 4:

Michele Val Jean noticed that someone had tweeted the revised B&B opening photos, and commented on the B&B theme song. Then she replied to herself with one of the GH opening themes. Her tweets don't relate specifically to BTG, but I note her continued respect for her former workplaces. And ... this shows that she does think about opening theme songs, so of course I wonder what will be the opening theme for BTG.

Here's the link to that (it was on the Politics thread) ... ---------------------------- Honestly, IMHO, some articles could go on either or both the Politics and Media threads. Sometimes I just post stuff on the Politics thread if it has important updates. I don't know if it matters which we post where.

I don't really have an opinion about the casting. I posted the tweet only for its video spoiler.
