The article https://www.tvinsider.com/1115936/young-and-the-restless-holiday-episode-christine-danny-phyllis-lauralee-bell/ There's a video embedded inside that article. It's one of those connatix videos that won't appear with adblockers on, so I didn't see it at first. Here is an archive of the video by itself: https://archive.org/details/g364u5 It might load slowly but it works, and is in decent quality. ^ That video is what Danny gives Cricket. The scene already aired in Canada, and here it is from a Canadian viewer - with both of them exchanging gifts:

On November 8, Bobbie and Tracy went to Amsterdam together, to wrap up Luke's affairs. Tracy was shown with a suitcase leaving and Bobbie was (obviously) offscreen but said to be going with Tracy. On December 4, Carly mentioned to Josslyn that she'd heard from Bobbie - Bobbie had hit a snag in Amsterdam that was keeping Bobbie from finalizing Luke's final affairs. Tracy was driving Bobbie crazy. On December 8, Tracy was shown on the plane flying home to Port Charles, and looking at a photo of Luke on her phone, and crying. Tracy arrived at the Q-mansion at the end of the episode. Bobbie is obviously still in Amsterdam. By the time the news of Bobbie's death reaches Port Charles, Bobbie will have been in Amsterdam for almost two months.

In November 2018, Charlotte was bullying Aiden for being different. Now Charlotte and Jake have a thing. I wonder how this will go ...

https://people.com/general-hospital-says-goodbye-to-bobbie-spencer-and-actress-jacklyn-zeman-8419040 New Year’s week, viewers will learn that their beloved Bobbie Spencer has died. Wed. Jan. 10 and Thurs. Jan.11, the town of Port Charles comes together to pay homage to Bobbie. https://www.soapoperadigest.com/content/ryan-carnes-returns-to-general-hospital-for-its-good-bye-to-bobbie/ Lynn Herring: "In the days between the characters finding out that Bobbie died and the memorial, they show different people reacting and talking about her impact. Everyone has days of disbelief and the reality setting in, and I really liked how they did that. It’s honoring her not just at the memorial." "The two days we shot the memorial were very hard. As soon as we knew it was coming, sort of a darkness set in. But as hard as it was, it meant a lot to all of us to pay tribute to Jackie."

Elizabeth saw this possibility almost 5 years ago when Aiden was 8 years old. Watch these clips from early 2019:

I am a real-life victim of sexual assault and I am offended. I will never condone the pairing or re-pairing of Luke and Laura. Furthermore, I did see the rape televised live when I was teen and it was traumatic. Pretending it didn't happen doesn't erase that. Regarding any claim that the Luke and Laura chemistry is what is important... I find it offensive that society/media thinks viewers find it hot. I hated when *some* viewers thought Todd Manning the rapist was hot. This isn't the same thing, yet... it is like that. In my view, chemistry never outweighs rape, and that shouldn't even have to be said!

Ryan Carnes!

Thank you to @dragonflies for posting this tweet Since the embedding sometimes cuts off the end of the text of tweets, here is the full text of what Krista said: December 20, 2023 https://twitter.com/KristaAllenXO/status/1737669854847541541 Krista Allen @KristaAllenXO I made it to my new place in GA! I’m officially a bicoastal babe now! I’ve wanted to find a place out of CA for a long time. Amazing how a simple shift in perspective can make the biggest difference. Sometimes when you think you have been buried, you have actually just been divinely planted 🌱 Here’s to all my new growth fam out there! ♥ U!!

Thanks everyone. I have now corrected my post about Dru.

TV Guide Magazine print issue covering December 18-January 7.

I was editing my post while you posted. I added that in each case, only one or two actors were chosen/volunteered/allowed to speak encouragement to each nominee. (the same was true for the Y&R video). I don't know if more would have spoken up for Krista if given the opportunity.

On the morning of December 15 (same day as Emmys) the B&B instagram posted a video of B&B actors wishing their coworker B&B Emmy nominees good wishes. (The Y&R ig account did the same with Y&R actors wishing their coworker Y&R nominees good wishes). In each case, one or two actors were chosen/volunteered/allowed to speak encouragement to a nominee. In this video Matt Atkinson was the one to wish Krista Allen good wishes. I was wondering why he seemed so serious, now we know why. https://www.instagram.com/p/C04snRFvIpt/

Regarding two of my recent posts: my post listing the various Phillip Chancellors (I, II, III, and IV) - and my post about the Abbott siblings and Mamie - Both of those show how central the character of Jill is to all of this. I know Jess Walton lives in Oregon but I'm glad she's been airing recently. I don't know how long she'll be around, but it's good to see her when we can.

Ah thanks. That was a period I wasn't watching. Appreciate the correction!

Cirie Fields interviewed about this appearance: https://www.soapoperadigest.com/content/exclusive-cirie-fields-on-her-bold-and-beautiful-cameo/ She memorized the wrong character's lines. Her son was on set helping her (but he's not in the show).

Attempting to list *only* things relevant to current storylines, for benefit of Donna and anyone else who came to Y&R because of Colleen Zenk. Otherwise, discussion goes on the Y&R history/BTS/articles thread. John Abbott was married to Dina. (Dina's maiden name unknown?) They had three children: Jack (Peter Bergman), Ashley (Eileen), and Traci (Beth Maitland). It was later revealed that Ashley's biofather was someone else, but John never learned this and the info was kept from him for the rest of his life. Everyone knows now. At any rate, Ashley is an Abbott in every way that matters, regardless of biology. Dina was bored, left her husband and children, moved to Paris, ran a business, and had a fun and rich life. Dina later married Marcel Mergeron, so she's referred to as Dina Mergeron. Dina died of Alzheimer's a few years ago. John Abbott hired Mamie Johnson to run his household. She was hired as the maid/cook but because Dina left, Mamie became a mother figure to Jack, Ashley, and especially to Traci. Several years after Phillip Chancellor II died, Jill married John Abbott. Jill and John were married twice, long story, won't detail that here. Even when Jill and John were divorced, Jill was annoyed when John was with someone else. At some point during all this, Jill became aware that John and Mamie were falling in love. Jill payed Mamie millions of dollars to leave town, and Mamie left. This is the Jill/Mamie rivalry/resentment currently playing out onscreen. Mamie is the aunt of Victoria Rowell's character Drucilla Barber Winters. Mamie is also the aunt of Drucilla's sister Olivia. Drucilla died falling into a volcano. EDIT - sorry for my error. Correction: Drucilla was last shown falling off a cliff. (not into a volcano). Drucilla is presumed dead. Olivia has been offscreen for ages working for Doctors Without Borders. Lily is Drucilla's daughter. Devon is Drucilla's adopted son. Nate is Olivia's son. So Mamie is the great-aunt of Lily, Devon, and Nate. And was a mother-figure to Jack, Ashley, and Traci. Billy Abbott is the son of John Abbott and Jill. Billy Abbott would be the halfbrother of Thom Bierdz's character but they never met. Edit: I forgot that Phillip III (Thom Bierdz) visited Genoa City 2009-2011 and and then returned to Australia. He may have met Billy Abbott then? -------------------------------------------- If you go by date born onscreen, Chance *should be* (but obviously isn't) five years older than his uncle Billy. Jill's first son Phillip Chancellor III (Thom Bierdz) was born in 1976 when she was younger. Jill's second son Billy Abbott was was born in 1993, late in life to Jill. Jill's grandson Phillip IV (Chance) was born in 1998 (the same year as Nick Newman). He should be the same age as Nick Newman and one year younger than Sharon. But Billy was SORASed a lot when Jason Thompson took over the role. And Chance was deSORASed a lot when Conner Floyd took over the role. It has been discussed that their ages are off, and we could vent/discuss it forever with no resolution. It is what it is, so I won't belabor the point here. Trying to stay on track with what is *currently* airing in December 2023. Billy and Chance are about to work together at Chancellor-Winters, so that should be interesting.

Phillip Chancellor I never aired. Phillip Chancellor II was married to (and divorced from) Jeanne Cooper's character Katherine. Phillip II was lovers with Jill. Phillip II married Jill before he died, but unclear if that was legal or not. Phillip II and Jill are the parents of Phillip III. Phillip II died before Phillip III was born. Phillip Chancellor III was played by Thom Bierdz, and known as Phillip. Phillip Chancellor IV is nicknamed "Chance". Sorry for the details but the Chancellor/Jill history is rich and still being played out now.

Thom Bierdz's character was Jill's son Phillip Chancellor III, the biological father of Chance. He didn't raise Chance. When he was a young man he was killed in car accident. Decades later it was revealed that actually he had realized he was gay, faked his death in the car accident, and moved to Australia to start a new life. Edit to add, as mentioned by BoldRestless, before that happened, he had dated Cricket and impregnated and married Nina.

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/dec/19/trump-colorado-presidential-ballot-disqualified-14th-amendment The 4-3 decision by the Colorado supreme court ... “A majority of the court holds that Trump is disqualified from holding the office of president under Section 3 of the 14th Amendment,” the court, whose justices were all appointed by Democratic governors, wrote in its ruling. The ruling applies only to the state’s 5 March Republican primary, but its conclusion would likely also affect Trump’s status for the 5 November general election. Nonpartisan US election forecasters view Colorado as safely Democratic, meaning that Joe Biden will likely carry the state regardless of Trump’s fate.

fyi, that's pretty much a copy/paste of this: https://soaps.sheknows.com/the-bold-and-the-beautiful/news/708989/eric-dies-john-mccook-health-rumors/

never mind, it's fine now.
