Kassie De Paiva as Eve Donovan on Days. This recasting did not work at all. Charlotte Ross owned the role July 16, 1987-July 12, 1991. Kassie DePaiva brought back the character 23 years later in 2024. I guess Ron Carlivati thought the 23-year gap wouldn't matter? Kassie's portrayal was like a completely different character -- She wasn't Eve. I think those who liked Kassie in role were already Kassie fans. But otherwise, I didn't see much approval of the recasting.

Fast this morning!

Just noticed Donnell said this in the last paragraph: ". . . to be the first Black American legacy family on the show is just a huge privilege." The * first * Black American legacy family on GH? What about the Wards?

Here's a clip from Q Thanksgiving 1995 with turkey instead of pizza -- they sing the song. https://bsky.app/profile/canadianfuzzy.bsky.social/post/3m6m5gtv5tc26 Lila with John Ingle's Edward Alan and Monica Sean Kanan's AJ Jason (still a Q) and Keesha Ward Amber Tamblyn's Emily Ned and Lois Reginald

I think this was discussed in 2020 during the Covid reruns. At that time, they would show reruns only as far back as 2018, I think? Maybe something about background music rights, but I might remember it wrong. Whatever the reason was, it was discussed that GH couldn't use anything older. I tracked reruns carefully from 2019 until 2024. I noticed that GH would usually rerun a somewhat boring episode - chosen because it contained some reference to a current storyline. This week's rerun was Feb. 5, 2025 was this (recap link) Don't know why they chose that. Maybe the Drillow references because Drillow's wedding is coming up? I don't know, there are other things they could have chosen for that.

As we know, soap actor guarantees are x number of appearances per week; but that's averaged over a designated span of time (maybe one year). That allows for a character to appear heavily in one arc and appear less frequently at another time of the year, as long it averages out correctly. But I don't know the answer to your question about how BTG's periodic repeats affect this. Maybe it there's firstyear stipulation that the actor appears an average of x number of times per week over 2025's 200-episode season? Or maybe it's over some other specific number of episodes, maybe 250 that's not dependent on airdates? The longterm calculation basis -- its that over a specific timespan or over a number of episodes? I don't know. It would be interesting to know how the first year of actor contracts were designed for BTG. You ask a good question.

MVJ said back on June 27 (Link) that she didn't know the show would be airing repeats during the first week of July. @Errol said on June 27 in the discussion thread about the July repeats (Link) that upcoming holidays later in 2025 are already written in but he wasn't sure if the unexpected repeats would throw the timing off or not ". . . storyline-wise, the show will acknowledge all the major holidays coming up like Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's. I would imagine the scheduling change could change when those episodes air, though." My speculation is that they rearranged some already-written episodes so that the holiday episodes would air at the right time.

Interesting! Ha!

Jason, inside the posting screen, just paste into your post the jpg url of the image by itself (without the img tags). Then hit 'enter' and the image should appear. Give it a few seconds to appear -- sometimes I had to refresh the 'draft' of the post. Once the image displays, then submit your post.

Philip and Arianna are actually related in two different ways. Philip and Arianna are first-cousins-twice-removed (via Justin) Philip is Arianna's great-uncle (via Lucas)

That was the funniest thing. It was actually quite real in that I know people who do that, with their family/housemates quite annoyed about it!

thanks for all you do!
