I found the TV insider item and they cite their source as the dirtylaundry site. How did the TV insider management allow that to get published? https://www.tvinsider.com/1107373/john-mccook-the-bold-and-the-beautiful-eric-forrester-dying-contract/

Matthew Perry interviewed Nov 22, 2022 by Tom Power. It's long but totally worth watching the whole thing. Very moving.

I couldn't see the whole thing because my computer cut off the embedding. Here is the whole image:

@jcar03 Since the previous episode count posts are archived, I'll reply here. In most places they say that the babies playing Amelia Corinthos were first the Ford twins, and then Bo Harrison. just an fyi ... Star-Kidz has a baby actress "Siobhan" (no last name?) playing Amelia in the July 26 episode.

FYI, Lauren and Esther cross over to B&B for the next five episodes of B&B (starting Oct 25). There are pictures and spoilers about the crossover on the B&B spoiler thread if you are curious ( Link )

Spoiler pics of B&B episode 9135 airing Oct 26, with Tracey Bregman and Kate Linder. https://www.paramountpressexpress.com/cbs-entertainment/shows/the-bold-and-the-beautiful/photos?episode=24114

Oh yeah it's probably a rehash of that tired plot with different characters. Sigh.

I still think she's Casey Reed's daughter

This promo has scenes from the next few months. Some of it happens in a few days (Theresa/Konstantin), but a lot of it happens later. Some of it was stuff written after the writers strike began so Ron didn't write everything in this promo. Some of it was written when the fired producer was "supervising" the scab writers (i.e. unofficially headwriting). Firedguy seems to have been responsible for the housefire scenes.

Clooney is ficore from WGA-West since 2007 https://www.wga.org/members/membership-information/wgaw-financial-core-list and Tyler Perry is ficore from WGA-East (date not listed) https://www.wgaeast.org/enforcement/wgae-financial-core-list/ WGA says "ficore is forever" on their websites, so once you're out, you don't get back in, so they couldn't return to to the writers guild even if they wanted to. I think those were old situations that cannot be fixed now. But this new article says Clooney and Perry are willing to pay extra dues to SAG-AFTRA, so they seem to be indicating a pro-union stance. They are willing to pay higher dues to SAG-AFTRA, to help the lesser paid actors get residuals or something.

Suzanne Somers' granddaughter Camelia Somers (daughter of Bruce) intermittently recurs as Charlotte on B&B. Charlotte was introduced as an intern at Forrester who later slept with the Pierson Fodé version of Thomas. The character Charlotte still appears occasionally at Forrester. Camelia Somers bio https://www.imdb.com/name/nm7436983/bio/ and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Camelia_Somers Camila Somers as Charlotte January 30, 2023 April 23, 2023 I couldn't quite capture it in these screengrabs but she does have some of Suzanne's smile.

This made me laugh a lot.

Gold! Absolute gold. Thank you for posting! And yes. Ned hated the business and loved doing music with Lois, so he did indeed win here! This is the history I remember. omg Tracy assuming Justin was a servant?

From inside prison, Clyde hires someone to pose as a hospital patient. The "patient" attacks Tripp with a scalpel or other sharp object and cuts Tripp's arm. Ava is staying in Tripp & Wendy's apartment. From inside the prison, Clyde phones Ava and threatens to cause more harm to Tripp unless she complies. The write-up in the mag says he wants her to run drugs for him, since EJ isn't doing it anymore. (or some such stupid storyline). Meanwhile Harris has a job interview with Rafe -- to be a cop (to replace Shawn-D) (And I cannot express how deeply angry I am about all that crap). And of course the magazine hinted that it's going to be some idiotic angst to promote the Ava/Harris romance with her as a criminal and him as a cop, or will she refuse to be a criminal. (and pardon me because I have to barf.)

Rena is on contract per closing credits of Friday October 13. I guess it's a short contract? Rena said that she had been preparing to move to the East Coast with her husband. She got this opportunity to reprise Lois on GH before she leaves Los Angeles. It was not stated how long she is remaining in L.A. https://apnews.com/article/general-hospital-rena-sofer-returns-9279b685624236c167ccbefb291b8f61 "But with this Eddie Maine story happening, it just really seemed like an absolutely perfect time to have Lois come back for a short amount of time to try to get Eddie to remember that he’s Ned. So Frank reached out to me and asked me if I’d be willing to come back for a short amount of time and I said yes." <snip> "the story isn’t about me. The story is about Brook Lynn. The story is about Eddie Maine and Ned, so I need to respect that. This is not about me coming back and telling my story; this is about me coming back and supporting the stories that are there with me trying to create the knowledge of who Lois is now, 27 years later. So that is challenging, but also, part of the fun" https://www.soapoperadigest.com/content/rena-sofer-on-her-surprise-gh-comeback/ I mentioned this on the B&B thread: Interestingly, on Friday Oct. 13, the new B&B opening photo credits debuted without Rena for the first time since she left in summer 2022. On the same day that she began appearing in the contract section of GH closing credits.

Remember the Rena Sofer interview or statement where she said that B&B didn't renew her contract and just *assumed* she'd continue on recurring -- but she said NO and didn't tape again (which is why Quinn's exit happened offscreen). So it's interesting that GH offered a contract! Meanwhile Rena said recently that she and her husband were planning to move to New York East Coast so she is doing this opportunity at GH before she moves. I don't know how long her contract at GH is, or how long she will delay the move. But still she got a contract.

Update that the new B&B opening finally has Rena Sofer removed, and debuts on the same day that Rena Sofer appears in the GH closing credits on contract. The same day!

And this new opening finally removes Rena Sofer and, interestingly, the new B&B opening debuts the same week of Rena's return airdate on GH.

Exactly what I was thinking -- Casey Roberta Leighton was at the Y&R 50th anniversary party in March. I bet that's when the show got the idea to incorporate Casey references into storylines this year. (If this speculation about Claire/Casey pans out)
