SOD spoiler article about Stefan and EJ. https://www.soapoperadigest.com/content/days-preview-stefan-plays-pivotal-trump-card-against-ej/ (More reasons to fastforward.)

I was just coming here to ask that! This is the third year in a row they've followed this schedule for UEFA (European soccer): Four dates in February for "round of sixteen, first leg". Two dates in March for "round of sixteen, second leg". (There are four matches in March for round of sixteen; but only two of the March matches air on CBS broadcast TV.) Four dates in April for quarterfinals. A few dates in late April and/or early May for semi-finals. Same thing, three years in a row. 2022 SON thread on this (Link) 2023 SON thread on this (Link) 2024 SON thread on this (Link) CBS has the contract for UEFA through 2030! In my opinion, it would be helpful if the CBS soap people and the CBS sports people would talk with each other. The first year, B&B and Y&R tweeted out notices that if you live in an affected timezone, to watch the soaps on the soccer dates via another channel/time or online. I think B&B even tried to tweet out alternate channels and overnight times in Feb. 2022. But last year and this year, they didn't bother. What gets me, is that every year, CBS soaps do silly little promotional videos for NFL (American football) and March Madness basketball. Especially Joshua Morrow and Michelle Stafford joking around about what teams are playing. Usually some B&B actors do similar sports promos. These are well-coordinated. And then CBS sports or the NFL retweets them, so it's a true cross-promotion. Sometimes they do two different NFL/soaps cross-promos, one at start of season and the other for the Super Bowl. But the soaps don't acknowledge the soccer at all. And the networks don't acknowledge that the soaps are affected. I mean ... you know Eric Braeden used to play soccer. Couldn't he do a fun promotion? But no. CBS soccer and CBS soaps don't acknowledge that each other exist. The NFL and basketball sports/soaps cross-promotions have been going on for years. There hasn't been a *separate* "CBS Daytime" division since Angela McDaniel left, -- daytime is part of the greater whole now -- but the pattern was already in place for NFL and basketball so those promotions continued. I don't mind the soccer preemptions in some timezones, but it's ridiculous that the soaps don't acknowledge it, and it's up to messageboards to let people know. Oh and remember Clarence of "Clarence Updates"? He wanted to be on Y&R for the 50th, but he had to approach CBS execs because nobody approached him. Why is that? He had to initiate it, and then he appeared at end of December 2023. https://www.soapoperadigest.com/content/exclusive-brad-sanders-on-bringing-clarence-back-to-the-young-and-the-restless/ “One of the radio stations said, ‘Look, man, you need to be a part of the 50th anniversary. You should be there!’ And I said, ‘Yeah, let me call!’ So I called [Vice President, Daytime Programs, CBS] Margot Wain and she called [Director at CBS] Danielle Unger and they were like, ‘Yeah, it sounds great!’ And they set it all up.” So there *are* people who can get things done. Can they help with coordinating with soccer? I'd really like to see this fixed before The Gates debuts! /end rant

Sneak peek of one scene from Monday April 15 GH Sneak: What Happened to Cates? Anna is working in her office writing down a list of suspects: "potential Pikeman operatives". (She thinks it's impossible that Jack Brennan works for Pikeman?) when she gets a visit from Cates who looks like he's been in a fight. The majority of this "sneak peek" clip is just interesting music, with no spoken words, while Anna writes her list... A bit different from the "sneak" clips of the past. Cates walks into her office with his face looking like somone beat him up -- but this is at the very end of the clip and actually isn't the focus of the clip, despite the title of the clip. The focus of the clip *feels* more like Anna writing her list, and coming to the realization that Valentin is her prime suspect. The only spoken words in the clip are at the end - Cates entering saying "I hope I'm not interrupting" and Anna seeing his face and exclaiming "my god what happened to you?" Otherwise it's a nonverbal video. This video on abc.com's GH page in the "clips" section - Link: https://abc.com/shows/general-hospital/video/vdka36387442 To find the same clip on Hulu: select the "extras" tab on the Hulu GH page, and then look for "GH Sneak: What Happened to Cates?" https://www.hulu.com/watch/184dfd0f-f380-4e9c-a2a6-cf10f8bbb2c5 Edit: a copy via twitter:

From the daily spoilers for April 15: "Ava continues to snow Nina." ... "On the next GH" preview video of miscellaneous scenes for Monday April 15: (Maxie / Brook Lynn ; Tracy/Cody; Lois/Gregory; Anna and someone out-of-view(Cates); Ava/Nina; Jason/Carly.) Ava says to Nina "It's progress! I'm sure of it." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YydEhcy6P_c

Yes but this is different since Beth M is a professional (or semi-professional) quilter, in that she has her own business making them. So Beth didn't just own the quilt they used in the scene -- it seems that she made it herself.

It's moved over a new thread with pics and vids of the 15,000th episode party EDIT over a week later, nevermind - the two threads are now merged.

It depends on what you're looking at: In the cast-only photo, Stephen Schnetzer is on the right, wearing a shirt and tie. (He is behind/between Martha Madison and Gloria Loring). You can see Schnetzer's shirt-and-tie wardrobe in Susan SH's tweet that Jam posted abovethread. In the cast-and-staff video, Ron Carlivati is between Beemer and Stephen Schnetzer. This is what Ron's wearing at the party: Here is Carson Boatman's ig story:

https://www.instagram.com/p/C5olkJzyDe8/ bethmaitlanddqb Yes it was my quilt in today’s episode. The show graciously had me bring in a few to choose from when Traci comforts ailing sister Ashley with a quilt “I made for your 21st birthday. I had no idea you still had it!” Always so fun when worlds collide. Thank you Lindsay Harrison for the beautiful writing and Steven Williford for the sensitive directing. Eileen and I have been sisters nearly 42 years. @youngandrestlesscbs @eileendavidsonofficial @stvnwllfrd

I don't think he's playing Dario. That was an assumption that started going around today after the photo was released, but I don't think it's accurate. I don't know anything. Just my thoughts. I do think it's likely that she's playing Gabi, as she's been following Barash on ig for months. According to this: https://soapoperanews.net/2024/04/10/cherie-jimenez-and-al-calderon-join-days-of-our-lives/ a rep for Days of our Lives confirms that Jimenez will begin airing at the end of June and Calderon will debut in the fall.

Thanks, Donna. Sorry my post was so grumpy.
