Sheila is a villain. Villains should never control story on any soap. They can do shortterm arcs and that's it. Nobody will ever convince me otherwise. Also I have loathed every story arc Sheila ever had, even the short ones. I hated everything with Lauren also. I won't watch any episode she's in. Nothing to do with the actress. The character is disgusting to me. I just loathe the character. Not love to hate. Just loathe.

Per the Varni facebook post that Fairman quoted, it was *during* the 19-20 season that Varni stopped overseeing GH. Varni's Linkedin shows he was gone from ABC for the 20-21 season; back at ABC in the 21-22 season; and returned to overseeing GH in the 22-23 season. (He doesn't give specific start/end dates) https://www.linkedin.com/in/nathan-varni-742b4336/details/experience/ Executive Director Current Programming ABC Dec 2019 - Present 22-23 season series: WILL TRENT, THE COMPANY YOU KEEP, ALASKA DAILY, THE CONNERS, GREY'S ANATOMY, STATION 19, GENERAL HOSPITAL 21-22 season series: THE CONNERS, GREY’S ANATOMY, STATION 19 19-20 season series: THE CONNERS, GREY’S ANATOMY, HOW TO GET AWAY WITH MURDER, THE BAKER & THE BEAUTY, STATION 19 and GENERAL HOSPITAL Director, Current Programming ABCDirector, Sep 2018 - Dec 2019 18-19 season: The Conner’s, Grey's Anatomy, How to Get Away With Murder, Grand Hotel, False Profits and General Hospital Manager & Sr Manager, Current Programming ABC Jul 2013 - Sep 2018 18-19 season: The Conners, Grey's Anatomy, How to Get Away With Murder, Grand Hotel, False Profits and General Hospital 17-18 season: Once Upon A Time, Roseanne, Kevin (probably) Saves the World, Scandal and General Hospital 16-17 season: Dr Ken, The Middle, Once Upon A Time and General Hospital 15-16 season: The Middle, Once Upon A Time and General Hospital 14-15 season: Once Upon A Time, Cristela, General Hospital and GH Now!

IMDB is off. (read the last several posts before yours.). Here are the current episodes (I'll put the unaired ones behind spoiler tags) The first episode number for each airdate is the *actual* episode number. They start with Episode #. The "(season, episode)" numbers for each airdate is how CBS tracks it in the USA. That might track differently in other countries. The episode descriptions are what the show lists. But with B&B, some scenes are partially repeated from one episode to the next, so the descriptions could include a scene that also airs in a prior or next episode. The December 5 description "Thorne returns to L.A." is what the show released, but that's misleading. Actually, Thorne was out of town and returned *to the show* via being shown on the other end of a telephone call. He arrived in L.A. December 6. Monday, December 4, 2023 Episode #9160 (Season 37, Episode 51) Donna panics when Eric suffers a medical emergency. Zende confronts RJ about his new place at Forrester.

Wednesday, December 6, 2023 Episode #9162 (Season 37, Episode 53) Thorne and Bridget learn the truth about Eric's medical condition. Hiding his illness, Eric kicks off his soiree, making a toast to his family. Thursday, December 7, 2023 Episode #9163 (Season 37, Episode 54) Eric shares a special moment with each of his family members and guests.

I started noticing GH/ABC execs only in recent years so I have no idea of his past. Here's his linkedin https://www.linkedin.com/in/nathan-varni-742b4336/details/experience/ ------------- Oh I found this https://michaelfairmantv.com/nathan-varni-shares-he-is-no-longer-abc-programming-exec-overseeing-general-hospital/2020/04/11/ Fairman said April 11, 2020 that Varni made an announcement on his facebook page: “To the many fantastic General Hospital fans I’m friends with here on Facebook: First, I hope you’re healthy and stay safe during the coronavirus pandemic. I share bittersweet news that I am no longer overseeing GENERAL HOSPITAL for ABC’s programming department. I was with the show for seven years, covering more than 2,000 of its record-breaking 14,600+ episodes. In that time, I’ve had the pleasure of meeting many of you in person, and loved interacting with even more of you online, including here.

That was one screengrab of a joking conversation between Stafford and Carliviati on their instagram stories, each quoting her original video and adding comments to the quote. Here is the full context in a series of screengrabs of reposted video: Michelle Stafford hanging out with Greg Rikaart. November 16, 2023. I think Stafford was joking when she tagged Ron to say she was hanging out with Ron's actor as if she'd stolen him from Days, so then Ron jokingly replied that he would get on a plane from his home in New York to go to L.A. to bring Rikaart back to Days. They were just joking around. When that ig stories conversation was noticed in November, I wondered if GR was taping again at Y&R or not. It didn't look like the Y&R set, but Stafford made me wonder. I had originally expected his Thanksgiving appearance on Y&R (which was taped in October) to be a onetime thing, but this made me wonder. Now we know he was indeed taping Y&R in November for Christmas and/or New Year's Eve episode(s).

Thank you for trying to fix it! Since IMDB won't accept "8318A" for July 20, 2020, (the 'catch-up' episode after the covid break) would IMDB accept something like "831801" ? And the other one is December 24, 2020 that is "8246A". I don't know why there was an insert episode then. Speculation: Maybe they expected that there'd be a Christmas Eve preemption but there wasn't, so then at the last minute filmed something to insert into the broadcast order for that week? Would IMDB accept 824601 for that date?

It was in increments over several days. First: no dialogue writers; then a few days later: no dialogue AND no breakdown writers; then soon after: no Carlivati and Quan.

That "Romalotti family Christmas" picture ...

Anything's possible with Ron, so maybe? More info on that spoiler here: https://boards.soapoperanetwork.com/topic/65595-yrdays-actors-make-returns

No worries. It would have been clearer if I had said "Creech doesn't mention her reel in this December SOD interview, but she did in the June soapcentral interview posted earlier in this thread"

I did post that Creech interview with her reel mentioned (from soapcentral of June 6, 2023) earlier in this thread here: https://boards.soapoperanetwork.com/topic/65437-daytime-emmys-to-now-air-on-december-15th/?do=findComment&comment=1883842 Separately, I posted these links to *recent* interviews and noted that their reels were not mentioned: Henry Joseph Samiri (published Dec. 10) https://www.soapoperadigest.com/content/daytime-emmy-nominee-qa-henry-joseph-samiri-douglas-bold-and-beautiful/ Cassandra Creech (published Dec. 9) https://www.soapoperadigest.com/content/daytime-emmy-nominee-qa-cassandra-creech-ex-grace-the-bold-and-the-beautiful/ Donna, Do you have a link to the Henry Samiri interview you quoted? All I could find was someone at the goldderby forum saying that they "heard" that's what Henry submitted, but I haven't seen an interview with Henry.

Cary said (in reply to a comment) on his facebook that he had the flu when they were taping the Christmas episodes, hence the sub.

https://boldandbeautifulepisodes.com The producer Casey K provided the link to that site. I think that it is simply an index page to the show's existing youtube page. For anyone who'd like that sort of menu or index. At least that's my impression from looking at it. I could be wrong.

Large batch of Y&R Christmastime episodes BTS pics at this link: https://www.soapoperanews.net/2023/12/the-young-and-restless-cast-in-holiday.html EDIT - These cover more than one episode. Some could be for Christmas or Christmas Eve. Some could be for business meetings in restaurants. Some could be for New Year's Eve.

That was a screengrab someone made from an ig story video. In general she looked ok in the video, that simply wasn't the best second to do a freezeframe. I didn't even notice anything when I first saw the IG story - I was just startled to see Rikaart and wondering if he was back on Y&R. But now that I've seen Judith's posts, I'm guessing he did only one or two December episodes of Y&R and then back to DAYS.

^ screengrab from Michelle Stafford ig story of November 16. I wasn't sure if Stafford and Rikaart were just socializing or if he was doing something for Y&R. But now we know it seems that Greg Rikaart taped something for Y&R that will air around Christmastime and/or on New Year's Eve. He's in two Kevin/Chloe Y&R Christmas season BTS pics here: (these are from soapoperanews.net)

Well yes they were called that back then. But now I'd call them Dr. and Head Nurse Hardy!

Lots of talk about the lack of intimacy with youngsters on the show nowadays, but Steve and Audrey could make it work believably.
