I'm pretty sure we posted the later discussion on this forum and possibly this thread that Boseman and Jordan had about AMC and Reggie not long ago as well.
I figured it probably was mentioned already but I just joined here a few months ago. I figured it was okay to post again even if already posted, because ... what he says in the full youtube is so deep about so many things (not just acting).

Chadwick Boseman's full commencement address at Howard University in 2018
was 36 minutes long. Kamala Harris retweeted this 8-minute segmentwhich is all about Chadwick was hired and fired on All My Children
for the role of Reggie Porter (the character later adopted by Jackson Montgomery).Almost all of these 8 minutes are about racial representation on TV/film, using AMC as an example.
I won't try to sum up what he says -- just listen, he says it so eloquently.
Note that he mentions the lack of specificity.
fyi, he mentions that he hopes that his questions to the producers about stereotyping helped to change the way the character would be written for the Black actor who replaced him. (He doesn't give the actor's name in this speech, but we know that the Black actor who replaced him in the role was Michael B. Jordan).
Here is the entire commencement speech, which gives context to why he spoke about his AMC experience:
If you watch the whole youtube, there is more. he said he was sort of blackballed for a while because AMC had put out the word that he was "difficult".

All the NBA playoff teams are inside a "bubble" at Walt Disney World, Florida.
Today, the Milwaukee Bucks basketball team chose to boycott their scheduled playoff game today.
They felt that they represent Wisconsin and ... in light of what happened in Kenosha Wisconsin ... they could not go on.Their statement:
The NBA later announced that because the Bucks weren't playing, then the other two playoff games could not proceed today.

Re supposedly "liberal" media outlets giving news with a right-wing skew:
I read things on CNN, nytimes.com, washingtonpost, etc.and then I check The Guardian.
The Guardian is usually more accurate.

I haven't been following GH much. Is this in reference to something, or humor or ... I'm lost because I'm out of the loop.

With all the episodes that have popped up, I’m amazed we still haven’t seen when Judith Chapman played Jill. Unless I’m fantasizing, but I could’ve sworn she said she was a temp Jill in the 90s.
The soapcentral bio for Jill says you're right.

Variety said that workplaces in Los Angeles County are required to report outbreaks of three or more individuals to public health officials.
The Variety article also mentions this ... as an aside ... but not related to the CBS studios:
Quote: Westbrook Inc., the film and TV production company founded by Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith, reported a significant COVID outbreak two weeks ago in Calabasas. The outbreak — initially reported as infecting 10 people, later cut to nine people — halted production on an unspecified project. End quote.
I guess they were giving that as an example of a workplace that had to report because three or more people were infected.0 -
Quoting the above Variety article:
Film and TV productions are supposed to adhere to strict guidelines that limit the number of people who can be on set and mandate testing and protective gear.
On Tuesday, the county amended those guidelines to mandate that craft service dining be held outdoors, and to recommend — though not require — that any audience segments be taped outdoors. The county also required that hired audience members sit six feet apart.
The amended orders also banned any rehearsals that are not tied to a particular production.
The reasons for the new rules were not explained.
It seems that the article was saying that these new county rules are not related to what happened at the CBS lot and just happened to come the same week?

Waiting for news that production has been halted.

Here is the full story:
https://variety.com/2020/tv/news/covid-outbreak-cbs-television-city-1234742516/UPDATED: An outbreak of COVID-19 has been reported at Television City, the studio where “The Bold and the Beautiful” and other shows are produced.
Three staffers have come down with the virus at the studio formerly known as CBS Television City, at 7800 Beverly Blvd. in Los Angeles.
Hackman Capital Partners, the owner of the facility, said that the infected workers are CBS corporate employees who are not tied to any of the TV productions at the facility. Tyler J. Friedman, a senior vice president of the company, said that no productions were forced to shut down.
The outbreak was publicly reported on Wednesday by the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health. The report did not identify the jobs of the infected workers or provide additional details.
In a statement, Hackman Capital Partners that the three individuals had been sent home after testing positive. Those who were in close contact with them also self-quarantined, the company said.
“The health and safety of the individuals who work at Television City Studios is paramount,” the company said. “We are complying with all requirements and will continue to evolve our protocols to ensure that our operations are proceeding in the safest and most responsible manner possible during this challenging period.”
“The Bold and the Beautiful” restarted production there in mid-June, shortly after the county allowed TV and film production to resume. Production was briefly halted on the show that same month after a number of “false positives,” according to Bell-Phillip Television, the show’s production company.
“The Young and the Restless” also returned to production there, and “The Late Late Show” with James Corden resumed shooting there on Aug. 10 after several months of at-home production. Sources said both shows were not affected by the outbreak.
Film and TV productions are supposed to adhere to strict guidelines that limit the number of people who can be on set and mandate testing and protective gear.
On Tuesday, the county amended those guidelines to mandate that craft service dining be held outdoors, and to recommend — though not require — that any audience segments be taped outdoors. The county also required that hired audience members sit six feet apart.
The amended orders also banned any rehearsals that are not tied to a particular production.
The reasons for the new rules were not explained.
Workplaces in Los Angeles County are required to report outbreaks of three or more individuals to public health officials.
CBS sold the studio to Hackman Capital in 2018.
Here is Hackman Capital’s full statement:
We can confirm that three individuals who accessed Television City Studios were recently diagnosed with COVID-19. The affected individuals were immediately sent home and sought appropriate medical care. Additionally, the studio undertook thorough contact tracing to ensure that any other persons who had contact with the three individuals were appropriately notified and self-quarantined.
Our response to this situation is consistent with a set of best-in-class operating procedures that were developed and implemented prior to the re-opening of Television City Studios. Such measures include, among other important controls, site entry restrictions and temperature checks, thorough and regular cleaning and disinfecting of all areas of the property, extensive on-site COVID testing, on-site medical staff, including a licensed epidemiologist, staggered staffing schedules, enhanced hygiene controls, and mandated social distancing. Since the resumption of production activities in June, hundreds of individuals on a daily basis have safely accessed the studio lot.
The health and safety of the individuals who work at Television City Studios is paramount. We are complying with all requirements and will continue to evolve our protocols to ensure that our operations are proceeding in the safest and most responsible manner possible during this challenging period.

Was Brent Boyd a friend of Griffith or an "FOJ" [friend of Jill (JFP)] ?
The friends of Jill were all purged (except for Jason Thompson who is a good actor and is there on merit).
