I did see the first two seasons of Organized Crime on Peacock. I didn't like that series, at all. I don't have Peacock anymore so I haven't seen it recently. I have watched every recent episode of SVU, in order, for the past 7 or 8 years. And I think I binged the prior 2 or 3 seasons back when I had both Peacock and Hulu. I'm grateful that, even without Peacock, I can watch SVU on nbc.com eight days after broadcast. But I haven't watched consecutive episodes older than the past 10 or 11 years. So I didn't see the first 15 years of SVU when the episodes first aired. I've seen occasional old reruns of SVU that air on random cable marathons on BBC, Sundance, Ion, and USA channels. I don't have Peacock or Hulu, so I can't go back and watch the old stuff in order. Regarding Elliot Stabler: I've seen Stabler in SVU reruns but only occasionally, and I've seen Stabler on O.C. The bottom line is that I never saw the ongoing day-to-day "Benson/Stabler" partnership in episode order. This may be an unpopular opinion? But (from what I've seen), I didn't care for the character of Stabler. I know some viewers have stated on social media that they ship Olivia/Stabler, which is fine if you like that. But I just cannot ship them as lovers, at all, just no to that. I don't mind them as friends and professional colleagues. But I don't want them as lovers. Maybe that's just me, but it's how I feel. I mean, maybe if I'd seen them working together every week for years, I might feel differently, but I doubt it. I just think Olivia deserves a better person for a romantic relationship.

on Y&R, Conner was paired with ladies of two different age groups - Sharon Case and Allison Lanier. I thought he was charming with both, but the writing was stilted. He did the best he could with the writing they gave him. Y&R didn't seem to know what to do with Conner, and his character. Conner came in as a recast -- coming onto the canvas at the point where his character was a cop who'd been away for months abroad as military police or soldier or special ops (something along those lines) who was rescued from a long captivity, and came home-- -- -- first appearing on the canvas as he arrived home from the rescue with PTSD and a distancing from his character's then wife (played by Melissa Ordway) -- but he was written to * not * have chem with his wife due to PTSD. Then they made him a cop, then randomly a businessman, then a cop again, while developing the other romances. But it was all written awkwardly, like they were plugging the character into plotholes to fill story. He did well, it was just awkward writing.

The Abbotts on Y&R have a dining room. Surely the Duprees can do that.

I don't remember how DAYS did the riverfront clinic for low-income people back in the day, when Kayla was a nurse, decades before she became a doctor. What was that clinic set like? I mean I realize 1980s DAYS would have a bigger budget than any modern soap, but I'm still curious how a clinic set was done.

Yes it's really Lexie. They are writing it (for now) that it's Lexie, but of course we (the viewers) don't really know if it could be a clone or twin or some other random sci-fi thing. But we are meant to think that it's really Lexie. Explanation? LOL, Rolf is involved with this mess, apparently. Since you're asking on the spoiler thread, there hasn't been any indication that she's not Lexie. And the actress Nikki Crawford posted on her instagram Lexie's back which was co-posted on the Days ig account. Nikki Crawford filmed for five months (but I don't know how many months her scenes will air for -- will they distribute her scenes out into a longer span, or insert them into a lesser span?). She kept posting from May-September 2025 that she was working on something secret she couldn't reveal, and then in September that she was done with the unnamed project, but inadvertently tagged Burbank Studios on her posts, which is how we know. But I don't think we're supposed to know that. She's an accomplished actress who was nominated for a Tony Award, so one might wonder if the show intends to give her role some importance? But I just have no idea what is planned.

My mom used to give my dad a B-complex thing the she called "stress formula", a combination of B vitamins (and perhaps other vitamins or minerals added) that help you offset stress. This was way back in the 1960s and it was not a brand name, just my mom's name for it. I never forgot that. Now I purchase "fortified" nutritional yeast and sprinkle it on food. Has a nice "umami" taste and is great on popcorn instead of cheese. Fyi, a few years back you suggested magnesium glycinate and it has really helped me, so thanks for that.

Muldoon and Mansi were in the 2017 Lifetime movie "The Boyfriend Killer" together. The picture on the right is from that

Kate Mansi and Patrick Muldoon appeared to have become friends, even after they both left DAYS. They would good-naturedly joke with one another on social media from time to time.

(thank you to the mods for merging the two threads)

Patrick Muldoon's 2012 exit with Christie Clark's Carrie and his 1992 debut with Tracy Middendorf's Carrie Christie and Patrick's first scene together in 1992 (likely December)

There is a podcast with Jonathan Frakes and Brent Spiner of Star Trek. Frakes mentions his role on The Doctors. I posted it on the "retro soaps" thread because other soaps are discussed.

Nathan Fillion talks about playing Joey on OLTL, and mentions Phil Carey. (This is on a scifi podcast with Jonathan Frakes and Brent Spiner of Star Trek.) Brent Spiner mentions playing one of Karen Wolek's johns on OLTL. I posted it on the "retro soaps" thread because other soaps are discussed.

not sure where to post this. putting it here because it rambles. I'll link on the OLTL and Doctors threads, too. Brent Spiner and Jonathan Frakes (Data and Riker from Star Trek) have a podcast called "Dropping Names with Brent and Jonny", in which the guests discuss various famous people they've interacted with through the years. [Frakes is married to Genie Francis.]. The Feb. 26, 2026 episode of their podcast is called "Once we all were spacemen" because the guests are Nathan Fillion and Alan Tudyk who have also been in sci-fi series, so they talk about that some. At about 18:50, soap operas come into the conversation. Nathan Fillion talks about being cast on Firefly and randomly encountering Jonathan Frakes at a restaurant; and he recognizes Frakes from Star Trek -- but also because Frakes was with his wife Genie Francis, whom recognized due to Fillion’s past on OLTL. Fillion talks about playing Joey Buchanan on OLTL (says jokingly he was the "best Joey") and his first interaction with Phil Carey (Asa), which is quite interesting. (Carey mentions the prior Joey's exit). Brent Spiner says he played a kind nerd who was john of Judith Light’s Karen Wolek on OLTL, and how he reappeared in the same role a year later, being kind to Karen and she wanted to give him the money back. He says what a phenomenal actor Judith was and how she could cry a tear on cue. He mentions that Kathy Bates was a guest star the same time he was there. Fyi, @slick jones -- IMDB says Spiner was in one OLTL episode. But he says here that it was two episodes -- one was the year after the other. Jonathan Frakes mentions being on The Doctors – his character was a troubled Vietnam War veteran who was a childbeater. For the scifi/soap connection, they all bring up John DeLancie (Q from Star Trek) being on DAYS. And mention Arleen Sorkin.

April 16, 2026 Cecelia Specht (Dr. Lia Whitmore) interviewed by WJTV 12 News reporter Kayla Thompson. Some spoilers from near the end of the interview: "I'm most excited for something really thrilling that's going to happen in May, about mid to late May. It's something, as a woman I was like, ‘I get to be a part of that?’ It's not traditionally something a mature woman would be part of. A lot of action happens and a lot of drama. And you're gonna wonder and be concerned about some of your favorite characters." For filming this, one of the days was "an 18-hour day and it was thrilling to be there."

Elizabeth in the promo. Is Drew waking up?

Iona Morris (Dr. Monica McCormick) has a podcast called "the vision is possible". BTG's head of makeup Stevie Martin will be the guest April 22, 2026. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ciowsHTPQMI

Personally, I appreciate Jon but I loathe Joey. Anyhow he is now on contract with BTG per recent closing credits. They wrote in Kevin's absence on GH by saying he was out of the country protecting Ryan and Laura's grandson Ace (long story that I won't get into here). Just sayin' they wrote him off GH for the time being, and he was only recurring on GH anyhow.
