Wow, I just checked and you're right. That's odd because they've always had prior seasons of B&B up, and had them just a few days ago. The change must have happened effective January 1st. That was the difference with Y&R and B&B. "CBS All Access" and its successor "Paramount Plus" always had prior seasons of B&B but only the current season of Y&R. I don't tweet, but maybe someone can send a tweet to Casey Kasprzyk to ask what happened? @Errol

I've loathed Sheila for decades and I *NEVER* want her around either show. Don't want her on B&B, don't want her on Y&R. She's evil and sociopathic and has zero redeeming qualities and needs to be gone. I think her presence makes everything suck. Just my (extremely strong) opinion. In general on any soap, I don't think villain characters should be part of the everyday fabric of the fictional city where the soap is set. They should be treated as the pariahs they are. They should make rare appearances, do their crimes and then leave for years before any return.

MD said he is busy producing movies and some are outside the US but he'd be open to returning to Y&R for another visit or visits. I mean he has promoted Danny's return on social media EVERY DAY for the past month and a half (and it's so fun, that I don't mind!). For anyone who may have missed it, check out the "mystery return" thread in the spoiler section of SON. Tons of pics and interviews etc from M.Damian, M.Graz, Beth M., Tracey B, and Lauralee.

I love Allie Horton and I look forward to her getting story, but this story sounds terrible for her. I know she's a single parent, and co-owns a bakery, and has a significant other, all of which is a lot for *any* person. But I'd like to see her have some joy of her own, that's for her, and not associated with her dating life.

*raises hand* I'm excited!

Adam Huss! He posted a reel of his GH scenes on his instagram https://www.instagram.com/p/Cly-aNbARdL/

The Top of the Tower is at the top of the Newman Enterprises tower, right? I think Tessa and Mariah got married at the Top of the Tower, and Noah decorated it, and that's when he got the idea to start the Glam Club. I think the Glam Club is at the top of the Grand Phoenix? On Christmas Eve, Mariah, Tessa, Sharon, Noah, and Nick went to the Glam Club to cheer Sharon up who was missing Rey. Then Mariah and Tessa went downstairs to a room at the Grand Phoenix for the night.

Will isn't named after Bill Horton. He is named after his aunt Billie Reed. When Will was born he was believed to be Austin's child, and he named his son after his sister Billie whom he had spent most of his life with. (Will was later discovered to be Lucas' child, so Billie is still Will's aunt.) I know Will's legal name is "William" but he was named after aunt Billie. Billie Reed's legal name is Billie, not Wilhelmina. (After Billie was an adult, Kate later created "Countess Wilhelmina" as a business entity). (Billie isn't her birth name. When Austin and Billie were children, their biological father Curtis took them from Kate and renamed them Austin and Billie, in order to hide them from Kate. He named her "Billie Holiday Reed". I don't know if the show has ever said what their original names were at birth).

This isn't a "spoiler", it's just actors discussing the holidays on the official DAYS social media accounts (same vids on fb, yt, ig). but I mean ... the show dropping these amidst a bunch of vids from all the current actors who are sharing what they do for the holidays... Can we assume that Christopher and Colton are considered current cast? Seems to imply that we will see Paul and Andrew (separately or together), at some point again?

That was confusing! I'll get my online copy of the mag in a few hours and read the whole thing then.

I'm glad Lily took the initiative to tell Billy she needs a break from him. She was strong. But omg my heart still breaks for her.

Yes she has been on contract since she returned in March 2022.

Charles Frank later appeared as astronaut Scott Carpenter in the movie the Right Stuff. Charles Frank and his wife actress Susan Blanchard Frank later moved to his hometown of Olympia Washington. Either Charles or both Charles and Susan worked (or helped in some way) at the theater department of the local community college (I think he taught some classes and they were both on the college Foundation board, something like that.) They have sponsored scholarships to students in the arts. He is listed as "Charlie Frank" on the college website. 2014-2015 scholarship funds donated "Frank Family Endowed Scholarship in the Arts: thanks to Charlie and Susan Frank and the Frank Family" https://spscc.edu/sites/default/files/imce/alumni-donors/foundation/2014-15-Scholarship-booklet.pdf He's still looking good. Current pictures of the board: https://spscc.edu/foundation/board Charles and Susan also contribute to the local youth chorus and the city arts theater, etc etc etc.

He was visiting Stephanie. But yeah he would have had some in his pocket or in his car.

It's only been one night. The episodes of Dec. 20, 21, 22, and 23 were all Christmas Eve. (the daytime of Dec. 24 and then the evening of Dec. 24.) The episodes of Dec 26, and 27 are Christmas Day. The episodes of Dec. 28, 29, 30 are New Year's Eve. (Dec. 28 is the daytime, Dec. 29 is evening, And the clock strikes midnight for the New Year in the middle of Dec. 30 episode) Sonny invited Leo to stay at the K-Mansion on Dec. 20. The conversation was that Leo had just been kicked out of the motel and it was Christmas Eve and he had no place to stay. Both Leo and Victor (in separate conversations) asked Sonny, how would Will feel about this, and Sonny's response to each of them was "Will didn't bother to come home for Christmas, so he doesn't get a say in the matter". If Will had not come home, then I do think Sonny would have told Will eventually, during one of their phonecalls or videochats. Leo stayed at the K-mansion for the first time Christmas Eve, and then came downstairs in the Christmas pajamas the next morning - Christmas morning - and gave Sonny the shirt, at which point Will walked in the room.

LOL at Abby didn't know. Abby never knows what's going on with anyone.

https://deadline.com/2022/12/marcus-coloma-did-not-film-final-general-hospital-scenes-due-to-health-issues-1235207447/ This seems to be saying MC wasn't fired, but he had "fulfilled" his three-year contract. That seems to be a roundabout way of saying the show chose not to renew his contract. Regarding him not filming his final scenes: Quoting the article: Deadline has now learned that Coloma and ABC came to an agreement “that he should not film the remaining few days of the year” following “health issues with his recent Covid exposure” that had kept him away from the soap set recently. End quote.

Same!

Prolly pissed at seeing him *with Phyllis* and also the instagram post she's viewing says Danny is back in town .. and Cricket is conflicted because she loved him so much and there was so much sorrow when they broke up. She wants to see him. I think she's angsty mostly.

I don't care that Billy and Chelsea are dull characters, in that *ALL* the characters are dull right now. What upsets me greatly is that he was her rape victim and he said it was fun, and he's trying to help her. It's extremely offensive.

I haven't been able to watch GH in a long while. (Lack of cable, lack of Hulu, lack of time.) I have been skimming GH recaps occasionally and I've read some spoiler articles. The show usually posts a few minutes of episode clips each day on social media, so I sometimes catch those. I kind of know what's going on, but not clearly. I know Britt has Huntington's and it's incurable and she's fading fast. She has bequeathed her worldly goods to her BFF Brad. She wants to have a big birthday party and probably leave town. I also know the actress is going to primetime. What I'm getting from these Britt spoilers is ... something from Tolkien. Specifically Book one of the Lord of the Rings, The Fellowship of the Ring, as follows: Bilbo is aging and "fading". He decides to secretly leave town and go live with the Elves. He arranges to have a huge birthday party, after which he will secretly leave town. He has bequeathed his worldly goods to his nephew Frodo. He intends to vanish in a spark of light during the party (by arrangement with the wizard Gandalf). There is (of course) MUCH more to Bilbo's party because of the Ring, etc. But I'm only mentioning the details relevant to .... GH's Britta. This Britt's big birthday party plan on GH reminds me of Bilbo's party scenario. Granted I'm not able to watch but that's what I'm getting from the little bit of recaps and spoilers I've read. I'm half expecting there to be a DJ who does some strobe light effect during which Britt vanishes at the end of the party. LOL. Am I the only one thinking of this?

I started watching B&B in 2016 and don't know the prior history of the characters and I simply don't have time to go watch from the beginning (even though it's free). I know Sheila's history because I watched Y&R --live-- when she first aired on that show. But I don't know most of the other B&B characters' histories. Sure I can read up, but I just don't have time, I'm trying to keep up with Days and Y&R and my real life. A lot of characters do terrible things. That doesn't excuse the next character who does a terrible thing. I'm not going to excuse anyone's prior behavior, but I simply don't know about it. All I can comment on is what's happening now, and I find Thomas despicable.
