Sept. 2, 2025 interview with Phideaux Xavier Excellent in-depth interview about the BTG directing process and more. Really worth watching. Really great. And fascinating, not boring.

During the 2023 investigation of creepy DAYS co-EP 'he who shall not be named' Alan A-r, many of the cast/crew of DAYS signed a petition for director Sonia Blangiardo-Goins to become the new co-EP, but she wasn't chosen. In 2024, Sonia Blangiardo-Goins went over to BTG as a director. I have no idea what Sonia's production view would be like, but it's interesting that some of the DAYS cast/crew had faith in her.

also, as someone said on another thread Veronica Bard - VB - Victoria Buchanan But I like yours: Victoria Lord-Veronica Bard same number of letters and with symmetry.

I'm puzzled and obviously I don't know for sure. But tv listings are showing the baseball preemption. (of course no guarantee the listings are correct)

@Errol I think GH is preempted on Sept. 30, Oct. 1, (and maybe Oct. 2) for Major League Baseball wildcard postseason games.

Tuesday, Sept. 30, and Wednesday Oct. 1 And possibly Thursday Oct. 2 -- are preempted for the Major League Baseball wildcard postseason games. https://www.tvinsider.com/network/abc/schedule/ ABC has the rights to this annually, usually the last week of September and/or first week of October. Some years, GH was preempted for this for two days, and some years it was for three days -- depending on how many games they need to win to go to the next round. I think they call it "ESPN on ABC". It's carried on live ABC broadcast TV in addition to ESPN.

NO! I like most of her story arcs. Keep MVJ. Change some of the breakdown writers.

And ... News! Mehcad Brooks who played the handsome Black detective Jalen Shaw on Law&Order for three seasons - is exiting Law&Order. Partway through the season, he'll be replaced by ... David Ajala, who played Cleveland Booker (Captain Burnham's love interest) on Star Trek Discovery. https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/law-and-order-david-ajala-detective-1236379026/

East New York was awesome! Excellent acting and writing. I was so disappointed when it was cancelled.

Martha moved to Texas for a couple of years to take care of her mother. After her mother passed, she returned to California. That was quite a while ago.

from the tvinsider fall preview posted upthread: re: Lucas Adams being the recast Noah Newman, as well as the casting of Matt Cohen as Detective Burrow, Tamara Braun as Sienna Bacall, and Roger Howarth in an unnamed role. . . Griffith explains, “They’re all tied into the same story, which is this major L.A noir story that I’m telling that has Nick (Newman, Joshua Morrow) and Sharon (Newman, Sharon Case) right at the center of it as they try to save Noah from a very dangerous situation that will involve Tamara and Roger’s characters.” ------- Noah Newman ran a nightclub in Genoa City and since he left town has been running a nightclub in London. This update from TVGuide says Tamara's character Sienna Bacall "runs a club in Hollywood". So does Noah go to Hollywood to find another club to run? Or to scout talent?

Was just noticing both. yikes.

Thanks. I totally meant Olivia, no idea why I typed Lois.

It means the decline you would normally expect in one year would take four years after treatment, giving patients decades of "good quality life", Prof Sarah Tabrizi told BBC News. The new treatment is a type of gene therapy given during 12 to 18 hours of delicate brain surgery.

Another preview video, this one is at the church. The tweet says it's in the Variety article but this isn't the video I saw there. Maybe this is a preview from a different article? Preview of Lulu and Michael at the church https://x.com/lesleylugh/status/1970888063757996353

Just discovered there is a preview video inside the Variety article. (you can see it if you disable adblocker). It's the family in the Quartermaine living room before they go to the funeral - Ned, Lois, Dante, Chase, Brook Lynn, Tracy. Most of the scene is Ned and Lois. Ned has a flashback memory of Monica. [Edit. I meant Olivia, not Lois in this clip.] Here is an mp4 copy of the video, for ease in viewing - click link for the video to play: https://tinyurl.com/MonicaPreviewGH

One of Storms' more recent leaves was for the surgical removal of a tumor inside her head -- she says it had had been causing some problems for some time before it was finally discovered as the cause. I honestly don't remember the reasons for her prior leaves.

"Griffith, who also serves as head writer of the daytime drama series, will be leaning more into the writing side of his duties." His writing is terrible. I don't see things getting better.
