if they bug me about using the same card, I could argue that I'm using the same credit card to purchase a gift subscription for a friend.

same! I will try unsubscribing from current account, then try resubscribing in September as a "new subscriber" for the discount. It might make me use a different email address to be considered "new", which I can do.

That's why I said "it was a substance thing". Billy was too drunk to legally consent. And Chelsea knew it. Thus it was legally rape. It happened in Myanmar and I don't know what their laws are about that. But it would be considered rape in Genoa City, which is located in Wisconsin. Wisconsin law: Does intoxication impact the victim’s ability to consent? Answer Yes, if the victim is under the influence of an intoxicant to a degree which renders that person incapable of giving consent if the defendant has actual knowledge that the person is incapable of giving consent and the defendant has the purpose to have sexual contact or sexual intercourse with the person while the person is incapable of giving consent. Wis. Stat. Ann. § 940.225(2). https://apps.rainn.org/policy/policy-crime-definitions.cfm?state=Wisconsin&group=9

Nelson Branco Obituary from the Toronto Sun https://torontosun.com/news/local-news/former-toronto-sun-video-director-nelson-branco-dies-at-48

In my personal opinion, Victoria is the mother. Chelsea is (for all reasons that matter) the surrogate. It wasn't set up that way legally, but that's what the reality was for many years. Yes of course they should have told Johnny that he was conceived via another woman than Victoria, but I think the hesitancy in telling him was "how do you tell your child he was conceived via rape". But yeah better for them to have told him when he was younger so he doesn't hear it from anyone else. But still, how do you find the words? I guess the show should (at least) have had scenes where Victoria and Billy discussed when/how to do this. Another factor is that the pandemic stopped children from appearing on any of the soaps for a long while, and children have rarely appeared in the the past year. Now that Y&R has committed to this storyline, Johnny has just been SORASed somewhat, with the new actor debuting in Sept. 2022. He was previously played by younger twins. Spoiler thread about the recast: https://boards.soapoperanetwork.com/topic/61466-yr-casting-call-for-a-teen-boy/

Chelsea was a con artist hired by Victor to waylay Billy in a foreign country. Chelsea raped Billy via a substance thing, and that's how Johnny was conceived. There was no affection involved. Pregnant Chelsea and her mother Anita came to Genoa City to con the couple Billy and Victoria, and to get them to pay her for the baby. I could go on but it gets me really angry, so I'll stop there.

I know, right? Less than 24 hours after you asked, Deadline gave an update!

LOL, less than 24 hours after you mentioned Holly and I replied with what I knew at that moment... Deadline gave an update on Emma Samms. See the SON spoiler thread here: > Link to SON spoiler thread <

Interesting!

Thank you!

Nothing confirmed at all. It might be a simple error in the credits. Or maybe she's in negotiations. I titled the thread "change in status?" with a question mark, because I don't know what's actually going on. Mishael did an interview on GlobalTV Canada's "The Morning Show" on Friday August 19. If there has been a Y&R status change, it wasn't mentioned. This interview could have been pre-taped a while ago, or maybe it was live? I don't know. They mainly discussed that she won the Emmy and her July visit to her birth country of Trinidad&Tobago. There was no discussion of upcoming Y&R storylines. Other topics of discussion included: Tonya Lee Williams; the potential future of soaps on streaming. https://globalnews.ca/video/9071695/yr-star-mishael-morgan-on-her-historic-emmy-win/ A copy on youtube if anyone needs one: Edit to add: The show's PR twitter account ("YRinsider") tweeted a link to that Global interview:

Emma Samms got a very bad case of "long Covid" and couldn't film. (putting detail behind the spoiler tag so as not to derail this "future anniversary" thread.) I guess we can hope that she's recovered enough to return to GH by the time the GH 60th anniv is filmed.

Monday, August 29, 2022: Rena Sofer's final airdate as Quinn. From the Early Edition Spoilers for week of August 29, 2022: "Carter and Quinn share a romantic and wine-fueled exchange."

Sheila is not a "gray" character who sometimes does bad stuff. She is a sociopath! 1980s Sheila was pure evil and I've never forgiven her. I guess if a viewer had seen only recent years, her evil might *seem* diluted to the viewer. But that's Brad Bell's fault if she comes off as a "diluted baddie" or a "gray character" to current viewers. She's a sociopath! She does not have any empathy for anyone. Period.

Paxton Mishkind has been cast as the SORASed Johnny Abbott. He debuts Thursday September 8. https://www.soapsindepth.com/posts/the-young-the-restless/paxton-mishkind-is-the-new-johnny-on-the-young-and-the-restless https://www.instagram.com/paxmishkind/ https://www.imdb.com/name/nm13156816/ (Assuming the casting call for "Aiden" was actually for Johnny?)

yup. the power-hungry man creating destruction in his wake.

Galadriel was a great elven being. She was not a goddess (Vala) nor a near-goddess (Maia); but she was trained by them. And within her elven power she eventually became almost as powerful as a Maia. She was a knowledge warrior, not a battle warrior. (I've read the main books many times and also the Silmarillion etc). Even way back when Tolkien wrote it all, he tried to introduce what feminism he could. Certainly Eowyn was the Xena of her time. I'm an elderly woman and I remember 50 (yes 50) years ago I dressed up as Eowyn for Halloween, as she was my favorite character. (Just as 1980s kick-ass spy Anna Devane was my favorite soap character). Tolkien did write the Vala as balanced in power with male and female. That being said, I think that if Tolkien were writing today, he would have written Númenor to be more evenly balanced with women of power, or at least indicated that the women deserved to be in power at times. Tolkien and C.S. Lewis were writing buddies and used to have coffee and discuss what they were writing. CS Lewis wrote that "Númenor is Atlantis" but Lewis misspelled it as "Numinor". I don't really know what the role of women was in Númenor, but it's interesting that it was destroyed by the ambitions of power-hungry men. I think the High-Elves (Eldar who once lived in the Undying Lands) were more evolved about women's roles. Galadriel in her youth had craved power, but then renounced all attachment to power by the time of the Lord of the Rings. This is a very short summary of a very long life: https://lotr.fandom.com/wiki/Galadriel
