A prosthetic nose, too !

I don't know when her last airdate is/was, but she posted this yesterday - https://www.instagram.com/p/ChUuHkQrMlQ/ Note the flowers have wellwishes on the cards with them. I kind of get the impression that August 5 might have been the day she received the flowers? Hence her final tapedate? Well, the coming SOD will give the details.

Always.

Yes, in June. Mishael Morgan is the first Black actress to win the Daytime Emmy for Outstanding Performance by a Lead Actress in a Drama Series

Here's the rest of Senator Schatz's twitter thread: Brian Schatz @brianschatz Like, Postal Reform was such a standing, seemingly unsolvable issue for every congress for a decade it seemed not doable. Done. Brian Schatz @brianschatz We all know the difficulty of passing an infrastructure bill, which while popular and necessary, proved elusive for W and Obama and Trump. Done. Brian Schatz @brianschatz The taking care of veterans who have had toxic exposure, especially burn pits, was also something being pushed for many years with no success. Done. Brian Schatz @brianschatz Violence Against Women Act reauthorization with new provisions for Indian Country. Biggest investment in native communities ever. Done. Brian Schatz @brianschatz We all now know what’s in IRA, and CHIPS, but when you add all of this up, it’s not just a lot of bills. Each one of these was thorny, complicated, difficulty, and ambitious.

new GH cast publicity photos, starting Aug. 15, 2022. https://www.dgepress.com/abc/shows/generalhospital/photos/ Scroll down and wait for all the August 2022 pictures to load. When they've done new photos before, it began with one batch, and then more were gradually added later over time. They might do that process again? I guess we can check back periodically to see if there are more added.

Well *if* Y&R is unwilling to pay Mishael enough to re-sign, then I doubt VR would want to return.

on-set party for Christel Khalil's 20th anniversary. Between Joshua Morrow and Rory Gibson: Denise Boutte (temp Imani who debuts Sept 6)

Actually it's there's more hope for Ms. Rowell returning than before, I think? She was in a CBS primetime series, Yes regular broadcast primetime CBS! this past season! Series named "Good Sam". "Good Sam" was about a father and daughter who were both heart surgeons. The father was played by the actor who was Gabriel Lorca on season one of Star Trek Discovery - and this heart surgeon was just as smug and arrogant as Lorca. The daughter was played by Sophia Bush and she tried her best, but the dialog writing was atrocious. Victoria Rowell appeared as recurring in at least 6 episodes as a member of the hospital board. VR did well but the show was awful and was cancelled. I watched every episode *only* to support the show because I wanted to support VR. At any rate, VR seems to be able to connect with CBS now. Not sure how she feels about Sony. VR is directing and producing a lot. She was directing/and/or producing a Christmas movie to be released in 2023. Leigh-Ann Rose (Y&R's Imani Benedict) is in that movie. There was a picture of them (VR and L-A R) on the movie set watching the Daytime Emmys and cheering on Mishael Morgan when Mishael won the best actress Emmy in June. I keep hoping ... but ... Although I want Drucilla back on Y&R ... I'd wait until the show gets better. Right now VR deserves better than Y&R.

I had started a thread for this in the spoiler section, not really a spoiler but it could become a spoiler if she's totally gone. Maybe she's just recurring. The spoiler thread for Mishael is here: https://boards.soapoperanetwork.com/topic/61603-yr-actress-change-in-status

Bryton, Liz Hendrickson, Brytni, and Mishael went to New York to see Christian Le Blanc who is performing off-Broadway. Edit: Mishael is no longer listed in the contract cast credits but is apparently still hanging out with cast socially.

Tristan Lake Leabu? He seems focused on his music career, per his instagram account. Here's what he looked like in June https://www.instagram.com/p/CfQwzX-DDid/ July 21 https://www.instagram.com/p/CgR6NseFTlk/ And he seems to be trying to avoid that young look now. Here's what he looks like in his instagram of August 13: https://www.instagram.com/p/ChNHo6Krlbh

Thanks for posting the archived copy that bypasses the paywall. Excellent Op-Ed! really great. I recommend reading all of it and passing its ideas on. They are summarized well.

I watched the episodes when Douglas was conceived. It was obvious to me that Thomas raped Caroline because she was too drunk/stoned/whatever to consent. I think Brad Bell said that it wasn't rape but that never convinced me. At all. I hated that they wrote it that Caroline moved to New York to try to work things out with Thomas (or something like that) when they took Linsey Godfrey off contract. Liam is the first cousin of Douglas' late mother Caroline Spencer. Liam is an idiot but he's a decent father figure. Bill Spencer always looked out for his niece Caroline. Hope isn't biologically related to Douglas, and I kind of feel "meh" about her character in general, but she's been good to Douglas. And I loved it when Douglas revealed to everyone that Steffy had unknowingly adopted Beth due to the Reese Buckingham baby switch storyline. I mean yeah. Douglas is named after his great grandmother Stephanie Douglas Forrester. So of course he should be part of that clan. But still... Thomas is kind of creepy. I never like it when soap characters are declared "redeemed" when we don't really see evidence of that process on screen. Where are Douglas's Spencer grandmothers (Caroline's mothers)? I lost track. I think some sort of shared custody/visitation arrangement makes sense but I don't believe Thomas is stable enough to be a primary parent.

In the Monday August 15 US episode (Friday Aug 12 Canadian), the closing credits have Mishael Morgan missing. She's no longer listed with the alphabetical contract cast (nor is she listed in the guests for this week).

I wonder if Jack really kisses Diane, or if the promo is all just Diane's fantasy?

The original link isn't dead. But the posted link was a copy/paste of a truncated link, so thus the middle part of the URL is missing, which is why it didn't work. Here's the full link that had been intended to be posted: https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkcy5zaW1wbGVjYXN0LmNvbS9ndnRldzJmNA/episode/ODkzZjNkNTktZDcxMS00NmYzLWIwZmItZDBiZWEzYTQwYWNj That's just the google podcast version of SoapDigest "dishing with digest" podcast https://www.soapoperadigest.com/content/dayss-robert-scott-wilson-guests-on-digests-podcast/ I skipped through all of his talking about Ben and Alex. He talks about the change to Peacock on the SOD page from 44:10 to 46:30. Then he goes back to talking about Ben so I turned it off. EDIT to add: This link goes directly to his episode and is easy to find time markers: https://www.stitcher.com/show/dishing-with-digest-soap-opera-digest-news-and-exclusive-interviews/episode/robert-scott-wilson-on-becoming-dayss-alex-205726891

Yeah! but Robert Newman just said he doesn't want to do another longterm job in California. I posted his statement on the Y&R August thread. https://boards.soapoperanetwork.com/topic/61549-yr-august-2022-discussion-thread/?do=findComment&comment=1809180

Maya Frangié was the DAYS publicist 2018-2021. Maya is now the Peacock publicist. https://www.linkedin.com/in/mayafrangie/ Lia Maiuri was announced as the new DAYS publicist in January 2022. https://www.soapoperanetwork.com/2022/01/lia-maiuri-corday-productions-director-of-communications-publicity-days-of-our-lives Not sure what specifically either of them is doing regarding the DAYS transition news. All I can see is the official press release on the NBCUniversal Media Village website: https://www.nbcumv.com/mediavillage/interactive/2929fed4187b40648b79a9839e70e91fproduct169208/index.html#/show/841e7af7-d958-474c-8e21-c8047418274f/press-releases/0c7e043f-07b1-4f7a-998b-85b08acd1f0a

Insulin amendments to the bill: (compiled from various tweets and articles) Senate voted on Kennedy's amendment – he said he will "re-implement a rule Biden repealed to make insulin available at community health care centers." Would pay for it by redirecting money away from Obamacare. Murray said Rs should support the insulin price cap instead. (This Kennedy amendment was essentially a bid to show Republican support for addressing the cost of insulin, though Democrats opposed it as insufficient. It came right before Republicans were expected to strip out the Democratic-authored insulin proposal in the bill for violating Senate rules on budget reconciliation.) Kennedy amendment did not pass. Republicans challenged the $35 cap on insulin prices for the private marketplace, as a violation of the strict budget rules governing passage of this bill. The $35 cap on insulin prices for private insurers is officially out of the bill. Seven Republicans voted with Democrats to keep the cap for private insurers in the bill, 57-43, insulin price cap for private market is stricken from the bill (needed 60 to survive). 7 Rs voted to keep it in the bill: Cassidy, Collins, Hawley, Hyde Smith, Kennedy, Murkowski, & Sullivan The cap on price of insulin for those on Medicare is still in the bill. That part was ruled to comply with reconciliation rules. Summary: The $35.00 cap on insulin for private insurers was stricken from the bill. The $35.00 cap on insulin for Medicare patients remains in the bill. Senate Finance chair @RonWyden gives out this statement: “Republicans have just gone on the record in favor of expensive insulin. After years of tough talk about taking on insulin makers, Republicans have once against wilted in the face of heat from Big Pharma”.
