BTG: History, Behind the Scenes Articles & Photos
I posted this back on October 7th, but the original embedded tweets no longer display due to twitter issues. reposting now due to the topic of conversation: --------- 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. https://x.com/MicheleValJean/status/1841679754698883179

The Tracy Quartermaine Lovefest
Well, I posted that above in July 2024, but my original post is now displaying as simply blank space. I just checked and discovered that Wally Kurth has since deleted his entire twitter account. I don't remember what he had said -- but it was a photo or clip of Jane or Tracy (something highlighting her magnificence).

Y&R: Old Articles
These are fascinating, thanks for posting! I just found Lilyan Chauvin on page 12 of SoapHoppers https://boards.soapoperanetwork.com/topic/55788-soap-hoppers-the-soap-actors-and-roles-thread/page/12 @slick jones have you seen these interviews? I see that she died in 2008 but she had a blog and a website, which are still maintained. It mentions some GH actors who were her students or were coached in French by her. Kin Shriner spoke at her memorial service. https://lilyanchauvin.blogspot.com/ https://lilyanchauvin.com/

ALL: Extremely long-held secrets that still haven’t been revealed to other characters?
DAYS: An attempted murder in August 2007: EJ lured Lucas into a freezer truck, and locked him in there, intentionally leaving him there to die from freezing. Sami later figured out where Lucas was, and convinced EJ to help her rescue Lucas, so EJ had to do that in order to please Sami. https://www.soapcentral.com/days-of-our-lives/days-of-our-lives-weekly-recap-for-070806 As far as I know, Sami still thinks EJ was helping her rescue Lucas that day, and nobody ever found out that EJ arranged for Lucas to die there. I don't think Sami or Lucas or anyone (except EJ) knows the truth.

DAYS: December 2024 Spoilers
------------------ Deadline seems to have updated their article? It now says: Deadline https://deadline.com/2024/12/days-of-our-lives-james-read-departure-clyde-weston-1236200953/ ‘Days Of Our Lives’ Bids Farewell To James Read: “It’s Been A Fabulous Run” by Lynette Rice for Deadline December 11, 2024 Another one bites the dust in Salem: James Read has left Days of Our Lives — at least for now. His villainous character, Clyde Weston, was shot in the December 11 episode by Catherina Greene (Susan Elena Matus) for all the hell he’s brought to her family. He’s left in a coma. “It’s been a fabulous run so far, only the soap gods know if it is meant to continue!” he tells Deadline. “I always think of Days as a family and have enjoyed every minute of working there since I started 10 years ago.” (Followed by Deadline giving a brief summary of character history, actor career, and a quote from 2022 SOD) --------------- Yeah what I just posted is definitely an edit/update from Deadline - (Deadline saying he's in a coma) -- because here is a screenshot of the headline from the google menu, (apparently a google cache) showing Deadline saying he was killed: --------------- I guess Deadline edited it more than once? because jswift quoted Deadline as saying something about resurrections being common on Days so he could return down the road -- and the current version of Deadline doesn't say any of that. ------------------------------------------------------------------ Most recent statement from SOD: Soap Opera Digest https://www.soapoperadigest.com/content/james-read-out-at-days-of-our-lives-as-clyde-weston/ James Read Out at Days of Our Lives as Clyde Weston by Mara Levinsky and Diane Brounstein for SOD December 11, 2024 It looks like crime no longer pays for Clyde Weston on Days of Our Lives, which means that it’s the end of the line for his portrayer, James Read, who first appeared on the show in 2014. Clyde found himself on the wrong end of Catharina’s gun on the Wednesday, December 11 episode of the Peacock soap and Digest can confirm the actor is out — at least for now. (Followed by a bunch of paragraphs quoting old SOD interviews) -------------------

True, when Chapman played Gloria as John Abbott's wife, in opposition to Eileen Davidson as her stepdaughter Ashley, Chapman played Gloria as OTT sometimes but with unexpected moments of nuance and vulnerability. Gloria was her own person back then. More recently Gloria has been written as only OTT. Chapman does what she can but it's poor material. And she's aired only a few times in the past several years.

I thought Judith Chapman's best work was as Ginny Blake on GH. Her work as Anjelica on DAYS was acceptable but not as great as Jane Elliot. Judith's character Gloria on Y&R was written as over-the-top, so she played it as written but I didn't enjoy the character. On Y&R, Gloria is the mother of Rikaart's character Kevin, but it was stupid to bring her to DAYS as the mother of Rikaart's Leo. Ron just propping Leo by doing this crossover that didn't work. I mean Judith played Diana as Ron wrote her, but I hate how he wrote her.

Random coincidence that two conversations on this page tie together. Yes James Read played George Hazzard on North and South. Genie Francis played his sister-in-law in that series. Jonathan Frakes played Read's brother and Genie's husband, and then Jonathan and Genie married in real life.

Y&R - November 2024 Episode Rankings
I laughed so hard at this, as others said, the hilarious A.I. style of writing, and the shade. Yet I myself would have said in all seriousness: As a Y&R viewer, I admired Gina Tognoni for portraying Phyllis as someone who, despite battling her own demons, fought with an unshakable tenacity for justice regarding the crimes committed against her by Victor. I also admired Sandra Nelson for her complex portrayal of Phyllis as a villain who insidiously took over Danny's life.
