I'm so glad I asked about Nikki in the March 1980 promo! I had seen Rose DeVille in Nina's original run, but didn't realize she had prior history with Nikki or with Chris Brooks. Fascinating. Thanks to everyone who replied to my questions. And I thought Rose looked familiar but I wasn't sure why I recognized the actress because I hadn't seen Rose since the 1980s. So glad to learn from reading that she was played by Darlene Conley. So *that* is why Rose looks familiar in that old promo -- it's from me watching redheaded Darlene in B&B classics during 2020 pandemic repeats. I didn't make the connection because Rose was a brunette. LOL I am enjoying reading this snarky faux storyline of what happened after Nikki's encounter with Rose, Walter, and Vince. Hilarious.

Laura Wright's smile looks bravely forced for the camera and KM's expression...

SAME !!!! I loved Amber's Emily so much.

I think you meant Deadline. Deadline, Variety, TheHollywoodReporter. TVLine, GoldDerby, Billboard, RollingStone, several awards shows, and SHEMedia (soaps.sheknows.com is part of SHEMedia), are all part of one media conglomerate Penske Media Corporation (pmc.com) Once one of them picks up a soap news story, it spreads rapidly to other outlets, even those not owned by pmc. And obviously this news was released because they wanted it hyped up ... because tonight they'd be announcing his return to GH. see other thread with that announcement. https://boards.soapoperanetwork.com/topic/65741-gh-surprise-announcement

This. He should not be celebrated.

Carly sobbing onto Drew: "How do I live in a world where Nina gets to exist but my mom can't?" Srsly, who okayed that dialogue? Using Bobbie's death for this? wtf?

Misinformed headlines. The anniversary was *last* April, not this coming April. Inside the article says: "On April 1 of this new year, the venerable serial will mark its 60th anniversary." "ABC isn't waiting until April 1 to call attention to this historic milestone. It has already started to do so." There is some new information within the article. Names of more of the guest stars that hadn't previously been released. And descriptions of some of the old clips that will air. https://www.mediavillage.com/article/general-hospital-kicks-off-its-60th-anniversary-celebration/ That mediavillage.com article seems to be written by someone who has already seen the special. Maybe they saw an advance copy?

According to wornontv.net https://wornontv.net/410794/ Theresa has been wearing this dress and jacket since the New Year's Eve party: Dress: https://www.milly.com/products/leona-multi-color-sequins-dress-confetti two links to the faux-fur jacket that looks sort of feathery: https://www.frankie.top/ProductDetail.aspx?iid=102100578 https://www.frankie.top/ProductDetail.aspx?iid=102100575

Bearded CM at the outset was an actual character. That's really the only acting CM did as Drew. Once he shaved, he shaved all characterization, and became the spokesmodel/coach. You meant Greenland and yeah he did nothing!

omg yes. They should have cast Mathison as the Deception spokesmodel. Or the host of the Port Charles Home and Hearth shopping channel. I could take him in small doses a few times a year like that. But not as Drew Cain. I know they wanted to cast a love interest for Carly, but he just doesn't do it.

A great deal of the problem is that Cameron Mathison's portrayal of whatever character is superficial and clichéd. Mathison was a saccharine daytime talkshow host for a few years and now that seeps into his portrayal of Drew Cain who should be nothing like that. He's not acting. He's talking to Carly as if he were a talkshow host who thinks he's a life coach.

I knew the bartender character was named N'Neka - named N'Neka after the GH producer N'Neka Garland. The character was never given a last name. This was discussed when the producer passed away in early 2023. Just learned that in the Sept. 19, 2023 episode, introductions were made at the Savoy, and Selina Wu introduced the bartender to Zion as N'Neka Garland. https://tvmeg.com/index.php/2023/09/19/gh-transcript-tuesday-september-19-2023/

Ashley Puzemis talks about the scenes that just aired a few days ago with Holly's overdose. (no spoilers). She talks about researching this and preparing to film it. And she became inspired to get certified to administer NARCAN in real life, in case she encounters someone who is ODing. Great interview: https://www.soapoperadigest.com/content/quick-take-with-ashley-puzemis-holly-days-of-our-lives/

In the resource archive section's thread for 2023 Days end credits https://boards.soapoperanetwork.com/topic/65706-2023 @Toups listed for the Dec. 28, 2023 end credits: Writers’ Assistants Tyler Topits Kirk Doering Isaac Francis Tackman I assume that the show listed the writers assistants in error, since they would have been on strike. @JAS0N47 has the show been listing the writers assistants since the strike material began airing earlier in December? Or should the assistants' work still be reflected in the credits? Doering on the strike line, May 10, 2023, via Christopher Sean ig stories:

yeah that was so bad. It's on this tweet ...

Laura, Kevin, Lucy, and Scott learn that Bobbie has passed away: https://www.soapoperadigest.com/content/exclusive-preview-news-of-bobbies-death-travels-on-general-hospital/

LOL that article was ridiculous but LLB's vid was fun.

Carly learns of Bobbie's death https://www.soapoperadigest.com/content/exclusive-general-hospital-preview-carly-learns-of-bobbies-death/

Yes it's from Oct. 17, 2003 - @Errol already gave the correct information here https://boards.soapoperanetwork.com/topic/65717-article-sports-preemptions-classic-soap-rebroadcasts-and-an-all-new‘-of-our-lives’-sets-the-tone-for-new-year’s-day-2024

Wow thanks to both of you. I remember Rose De Ville only in Nina's original storyline. Why was Nikki interacting with her?

Who is in the Y&R part of the promo with Nikki?
