Unlike most people with the name, he spells his name "Conner" ending in "er" instead of ending in "or". I don't now how many gazillion times I started misspelling it when he was on Y&R. What made it even more confusing was that there's a Y&R * character * Connor Newman (Adam's son), and the character's name is spelled with "or".

Conner Floyd as nuChad, Alexander Elijah Bond as nuThomas. The SOD photo caption says that's still Autumn Gendron as Charlotte (but I think she's recast later?)

from her ig stories today

From ig of Susan Seaforth Hayes https://www.instagram.com/p/DXNOm8Hkpic/ billsusanhayes This week Joycie, the darling creator of Soap Opera Festivals, passed from the stages of this life to join the stars of heaven with the immortals. The love and devotion she shared in marriage to Allan mirrored my own with Billy. My brightest memory, over long years of friendship, is the night we were together in their home to celebrate Shabbat; Joyce lighting the candles with reverence and joy. How blessed we were to know such a woman- to touch her strength, splendor, and laughter. Shalom, dear lady ❤️

Here's something from January in which she auditioned for some role and got it, but had to dye her hair, and it's a network thing. Looks like her hair is red? Doesn't say if it's a long role or a single episode gig. (no idea if it's related to the other stuff or if it's an unrelated gig). https://www.instagram.com/p/DT-8kzMjr-8/

bringing this over from the BTG April spoiler thread This is from her IG on March 5 - the video itself is a promotion for Ricola, but what's interesting is that she says she's working on something and commuting by airplane, having to make sure her kids are taken care of while she's away. The pink building is the B&B studio. So she's not giving it away there. Just that she's working on something. https://www.instagram.com/p/DVglme5j1ae/ This is from her ig stories today April 15. Seems to be part two of something. Maybe part one was an ig story that already disappeared? Says she's been working on this project for two months . . . Had a 6:18am call. Lots of lines. "I'm going to take you with me on this journey so when I start airing . . . " https://ia601902.us.archive.org/2/items/d4a7eg/d4a7eg.mp4

I don't know. Interesting! Here's something from January in which she auditioned for some role and got it, but had to dye her hair, and it's a network thing. Looks like her hair is red?

Even though Jon Lindstrom has been in the opening cast images for a while, he was still listed in the * closing * credits as noncontract. I think today was the first time he was credited as contract?

MVJ tweeted that Tracey Thomson's name was missing from the article, but I can see that Deadline has since edited their article (at 1:46pm PDT) to include Thomson.

The Parade feature sounds nice but the headline seems (perhaps) a bit misleading? There is ZERO spoiler. They are quoting the original article at Digital Journal (link). Digital Journal interviewed her about a film, and they asked her if she'd come back to Days -- and she replied with something about loving to do that again.

Magyar of Hungary did a three-hour "Q & A" session with the press today. Not a standard press conference but something where he actually answers questions. This was to contrast with Viktor Orbán who dispensed sound bites. Magyar also requested that the independent journalists be heard first, since they'd previously been left out of things.

It's going to take lots of optimism and lots of hard work.

I'm not intending this as spamming this thread with Hungary celebrations. Just feel like we could all use some hope.

Lucy's pet duck.

In the Hungarian election, Péter Magyar's Tisza party defeated Viktor Orbán's Fidesz party by a two-thirds supermajority. Magyar and Tisza are considered "center-right" so it's not a leftwing victory. But it's certainly a victory against Orbán's dictator style, against Putin, and against Trump. Magyar says he wants Hungary to be more a part of Europe again, so this is a victory for Europe, too. So yeah lots of dancing!

This was two days * before * the election that defeated Orbán
