"Allegations from lawyers for Prince Harry and others that Lewis had helped direct a cover-up of Murdoch hacking scandal involving deletion of millions of emails." I remember reading about the phone-hacking scandal ... years ago. I read the Guardian for world news (and sometimes BBC for world news) but that was always a headline -- so much that I had to filter it out. Literally years ago. I cannot imagine that nobody at the Washington Post was aware?

No it's just a sign of me being unobservant while watching intermittently! Looking at the years, it must have been Georganne LaPiere's Heather that I watched while I was in high school.

Do you also have a list of Days stage managers that are listed in the DGA directory? For example current stage managers Jessica (Jessie) Harrison and Lucy Yalenian are members of the DGA. I remember a few years ago when Jessie got her DGA card and posted it on her ig stories.

KKL and Missy Claire Egan have started posting pics of Monte Carlo on their IG stories. As @Maxim posted KKL's above. (TK and Joshua Morrow don't do much social media). The Tom Arnold spoiler says Steffy/Brooke/Ridge go to Monte Carlo to promote Brooke's Bedroom line, and Tom Arnold plays the pilot, and he airs July 30 and July 31. So from the Tom Arnold spoiler, it seems that in August 2024 we will see B&B scenes of Monte Carlo. (as B&B often takes the opportunity of the fact that since they're sending actors to the TVFestival to be themselves as actors, might as well film some B&B scenes in Europe while there). KKL and TK are the only B&B actors scheduled for the official B&B/Y&R in-person event in Monte Carlo. I don't know if JMW is flying over to film B&B scenes with them afterwards, or if JMW's scenes will be filmed in Los Angeles and spliced in later?

Yeah I just looked it up and read that about Cher's sister! I must have watched them both but not realized about the recasting, LOL.

These discussions are interesting to me. I watched GH in the 1969-1976. I watched sporadically after that ... but stopped when the mob became the focus. There were also long periods of time when I lived in homes with no television, or with roommates who would have never agreed with me watching soaps- so I went for years without watching. And a big thing was that nobody I knew watched soaps. No family members or friends or classmates, so I didn't discuss it with anyone. My sister introduced me to soaps in 1969 but then she moved away in 1971, so there was nobody after that. Whenever I traveled to visit my sister during a vacation or holiday, I would watch soaps at her house, but that would be only a few days per year. All the discussions here about GH in the 1990s are mostly about things I never watched. I did see some stuff on soapnet in the early 2000s, but I don't remember if it was reruns or what? I did see some new episodes in the early 2000s. I also started watching Cindi Rinehart's daily recaps which helped me to follow along when I couldn't watch entire episodes. What is notable about my more regular viewing in the 1970s is that there was no way to record a show, there was no internet, and I had no access to soap magazines. And teenaged me never thought to read the closing credits. Therefore I had no idea who was cast and was often completely unaware when a character was recast, unless I happened to be watching live on a day when there was a voiceover "the part of __ is now being played by __" . Regarding recasts, if an actor/actress looked *very* different, I might notice, but otherwise I might just assume it was the same person playing the role differently ... ... well not exactly .... a more accurate way to describe it would be that I didn't really pay attention to the actors, as I was totally focused on character/story. I started reading soapcentral (back when it was amcpages.com) in the 2000s so I knew how to look up character/actor bios there, but I would research stuff only if there was something I was curious about. If I didn't know there was a recast, I wouldn't look up who played the role. --- Re: current discussion on this thread about the recast of Heather. I knew that Robin Mattson is known for having played the role of Heather, but I didn't realize until reading this thread TODAY that someone else played the role previously. Okay so the Heather I knew was the one played by Mary O'Brien?

Mac returns pic thanks to SOD (Link)

Monday June 17 US (Friday June 14 Canada) pics from SOD (Link) and soapcentral (Link) (via Howard Wise / JPI) Gina Garcia-Sharp has been playing Tucker's business assistant "Dawn" for the past couple of weeks. Tucker seems to have a heart attack (chest pains? breathing difficulty?) and collapses in Paris after learning that Audra is taking over Glissade. Dawn calls a doctor (played by Mark Forget) to come to the Paris hotel to examine him. Audra thinks Tucker might be faking.

January 2023 update from X González, the Marjorie Stoneman Douglas High student, famous for giving a speech and years of working in activism https://www.thecut.com/article/x-gonzalez-parkland-shooting-activist-essay.html

Dorell's name wasn't on the 2024 WGA award that Days won https://awards.wga.org/awards/nominees-winners He tweeted about it but I don't know the behind-the-scenes details or when he was on the writing team -- or what episodes were submitted

Thanks Jason, I was wondering about Egan. Egan was on the WGA ficore list for the 2007-2008 strike but not for the 2023 strike. All the other people missing from the 2023 list had died (or in the case of two women were still alive and on ficore but had new surnames so it took a minute for me to figure out). I figured Egan must have either died or completely changed his name, but couldn't find any info until I read your post. Ficore list thread: https://boards.soapoperanetwork.com/topic/66743-all-wga-fi-core-lists/

Nancy specifically said in her tweet that the four actresses (past and present) playing Kristina and Molly (Ainsworth, Mansi, Pullos, Vaganos) feel like daughters to her, in that she (Nancy) is older than them, and Nancy says she tends/tended to mamabear those actresses. Whereas Kelly Monaco is closer in age to Nancy so Nancy sees Kelly as a friend, instead as her child. That's all. Nancy tweeted that she loves Kelly, too. Apparently some fans wondered if it was a disrespect, and Nancy clarified that it wasn't. When Nancy said "There's no there there" she meant there's no issue.

Jeevan Brar of thetvwatercooler.com interviews Bryton James to celebrate Bryton's 20 years on Y&R https://www.thetvwatercooler.com/2024/06/bryton-james-young-and-the-restless-20th-anniversary-interview/ This youtube is an audio-only podcast:

B&B spoilers not up yet (as of the moment I'm posting this)

I recently posted two different statements from Michele Val Jean, but I'm not sure if the twitter/ig embedding is displaying the same for everyone ... so just in case, I will repost here in plain text what she said: On June 12, 2024, Michele Val Jean said (via both twitter and instagram): "You guys! The team for #TheGates is coming together and it’s 🔥🔥🔥. I couldn’t be happier. Exciting announcements coming soon. Stay tuned!" and then on June 13, 2024, Michel Val Jean tweeted: "Soap fans, I appreciate your passion and hope to inspire it. But I'm asking you not to bash other shows on my timeline. I understand you get unhappy with things but this isn't the place to air out your grievances. #daytimecommunity #friendsandcolleagues " .

Y&R is casting for "Miriam". The character is a beautiful, intelligent and outspoken college student around 21 years old. This casting call was announced by soaphub on May 25, 2024. No word as to when the character starts airing. Source is Janet Di Lauro (Link)

Preview video for week of June 17:

screengrabs from preview video for week of June 17 Paxton Mishkind and Sienna Mercuri return as Johnny and Katie. In the video, Victoria and Billy introduce them to their sister Claire. FYI, Janet Di Lauro thinks that's *not* Sienna Mercuri as Katie. Di Lauro says Katie has been recast, name to be announced? (Link) But the closing credits for 6/17 US (6/14 CDN) show that it is Sienna after all.
