"Multiple sources tell the Toronto Sun that Steve Burton is no longer a part of the show." Link EDIT: The Toronto Sun is a tabloid, so I assume unreliable.

https://www.soapoperadigest.com/content/ingo-rademacher-out-at-gh/ Quoting SOD: "Though GH is not commenting on the contract status of several actors rumored to be exiting imminently, Nancy Lee Grahn (Alexis) seemingly confirmed that Ingo Rademacher is out" -- "Several" ? Carolyn Hennesy is recurring so it's hard to say. You can't "fire" a recurring actor. You just stop using them.

Charlie raped Allie. Nick tried to rape Gabi. I heard they are being brought back to terrorize their victims, for the Halloween episode(s). I find this offensive.

New pic of Krista Allen, via EW. The EW photo caption says "credit CBS" so maybe this how she'll look as Taylor? Errol's article says she starts taping on Oct 28. She probably came into the set early for publicity photos. (Unless that's an old CBS pic from an appearance on a different show).

Is Elena still living in Lola's apartment upstairs from Crimson Lights? When was it last shown? Sharon's cottage will return, there are spoiler pics of nuNoah there. Yeah an interview with Peter Bergman confirmed they are not using the Jabot set. Sally and Chloe were being shown working at Newman Media at one point. Did that stop?

Cut for time. Amazing non-stop Halloween sex pun monologue!

Josh Griffith remembered A Martinez from Santa Barbara, and JG said he created the part of Eduardo Hernandez on Days for him.

Beautiful picture of cinematographer (DP - Director of Photography) Halyna Hutchins, as tweeted by Ava DuVernay.

From the Mayo Clinic: This is what multiple myeloma does to your immune system: https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/multiple-myeloma/symptoms-causes/syc-20353378 Doctors know that myeloma begins with one abnormal plasma cell in your bone marrow — the soft, blood-producing tissue that fills in the center of most of your bones. The abnormal cell multiplies rapidly. Because cancer cells don't mature and then die as normal cells do, they accumulate, eventually overwhelming the production of healthy cells. In the bone marrow, myeloma cells crowd out healthy blood cells, leading to fatigue and an inability to fight infections. The myeloma cells continue trying to produce antibodies, as healthy plasma cells do, but the myeloma cells produce abnormal antibodies that the body can't use. Instead, the abnormal antibodies (monoclonal proteins, or M proteins) build up in the body (end quote from Mayo Clinic) NY Times says: Colin L. Powell, whose immune system was weakened by treatment for multiple myeloma, died of complications of Covid-19 despite being “fully vaccinated,” his family said in a statement. Peggy Cifrino, Mr. Powell’s longtime aide, said that he had been successfully treated for multiple myeloma, a cancer of white blood cells in the bone marrow. The family’s statement did not provide further details about the complications or underlying health conditions. It said he was treated at Walter Reed National Medical Center. Other details about his health were not released, including whether he had received a booster shot, or when he had been vaccinated against the virus. He was 84. ---- As if now, NYTimes knows he was fully vaxxed but they don't know how long ago. As of now, NYTimes doesn't know if he ever received a booster shot. My thoughts: Even if he was "successfully treated" for multiple myeloma, the family didn't say if his immune system had been fully restored to normal functioning.

NY Times article about the German media company who now owns Politico: https://archive.is/Lm0lm edit: Update:

Colin Powell had multiple myeloma, a cancer of plasma cells that suppresses the body's immune response. Even if fully vaccinated against Covid-19, those who are immunocompromised are at greater risk from the virus. https://www.cnn.com/2021/10/18/politics/colin-powell-dies/index.html

Both Pfizer and Moderna were offered when it was my turn, so I had a choice, so I chose Moderna. But if Pfizer was the only one offered when it was my turn, I totally would have taken the Pfizer, gratefully. Definitely supporting getting vaxxed as soon as one can.

Six months ago, I had my choice of Moderna or Pfizer. I chose Moderna because of Dolly and the fact that a university was helping with the research, so I figured that Moderna would be more ethical than Pfizer. and yeah I hope Dolly lets them have it.

More to add to FOJ Jason Thompson from GH to Y&R. He specifically said in a 2016 interview that JFP brought him to Y&R. https://www.soapoperadigest.com/content/yrs-jason-thompson-gina-tognoni-found-groove-screen-off/ Hunter King from Hollywood Heights to Y&R. But I don't know if she'd consider herself a "friend" of Jill. Jill brought her over to Y&R but I wouldn't say Hunter "followed" Jill. Hunter was a teen when she got hired at Y&R. So maybe she simply took a job she was offered. Michael E. Knight from AMC to Y&R as a Friend of Chuck Pratt (and Jill). This 2015 interview in which MEK praises Pratt is mind-boggling: https://www.tvinsider.com/42993/all-my-children-vet-michael-e-knight-dishes-his-new-gig-the-young-and-the-restless/ When Mal Young took over at Y&R, MEK was out at Y&R.

Season 2 of The Equalizer debuts today Sunday Oct 10, 2021. Yay!

Mark Zuckerberg lost 6 billion dollars today. Really. (good.)

Quoting the Reuters article: "An experimental antiviral pill developed by Merck & Co could halve the chances of dying or being hospitalized for those most at risk of contracting severe COVID-19." In reference to anti-vaxxers getting excited about the the Merck pill, I saw this comment on twitter: Isn’t it like - "hey we developed this new method to help 50% of car crash victims after the crash if you aren’t wearing your seat belt." Probably should just wear your seat belt in the first place.
