  1. Do shows give benefits (such as medical) to noncontract cast?  Or does the union pay that?
    Because if the show doesn't have to pay benefits, that might be why they keep recurring actors.  
    Disclaimer that I have absolutely no idea.
    Just asking.

    Cindi Rinehart-Brooks, born on May 13, 1948, departed this world on January 2, 2024, leaving behind a legacy as vibrant as her personality.

    Just reading this now!  She was amazing,  I watched her show daily.
    Here's the obit from the TV station she worked at:

    They got it from from SOD:   (Link)

    Tuesday, April 30 US (Mon. April 29 CDN)
    Christopher Cousins debuts as Alan Laurent, a psychiatrist and friend of Ashley's from her time in Paris. She referred to him quite often when talking with Traci.  Look for the actor to appear in multiple episodes.

    Might be another European soccer partial preemption that day, *if* CBS decides to carry the semifinals.
    The semifinals happen Tues. April 30, Wed. May 1st, Tues. May 7, and Wed. May 8.

    Looking at Monday. 

    #GH April 15 2024
    Carly updates Jason.
    Tracy receives welcome news.
    Sonny meets with Drew. <--- didn't happen yet
    John shares his suspicions with Anna.
    Ava continues to snow Nina

    Not even considering what happened when but Sonny & Drew haven't met this week yet. The rest has happened just not necessarily on Monday. IOW, you may not want to know this 🙃 but Monday's spoilers were also "wrong". 

    Thanks! I was thinking of checking it. 

    I remember GH did lots of rearranging that created five insert episodes in April/May 2020, and it took a bit of research to figure it all out.
    Judiciously comparing the spoilers (same as the abc.com episode descriptions) with what actually aired.

    In 2020, they were trying to stretch out the already-filmed episodes to air over the COVID break so they broke up episodes and inserted flashbacks and random things to fill the time.

    In 2024 it's probably a writing pivot.  Interesting to see what's changed.

    As usual, cutting through the confusion. Thanks, Jane! 

    Well, no, actually, I didn't have the full picture.
    Some people who seemed confused elsewhere online,
    were actually right.
    They pointed out the spoiler discrepancy.


    Thanks to @titan1978 who noted it and posted it.
    It seems that the episodes airing 4/16/2024 and 4/17/2024,
    were switched in broadcasting in Canada on CityTV.
    BUT ....
    The totality of *both* episodes together -- 
    equal what was spoiled for 4/16.
    This can be determined from reading the Canada and US recaps for those dates.
    Details on the spoiler thread here:
    https://boards.soapoperanetwork.com/topic/66455-gh-april-2024-spoilers/?do=findComment&comment=1917601


    ** Speculation only **  that episode editing happened and split one episode into two, with extra scenes inserted to fill the time or include more character interactions.
    This would have created what amounts to an "insert episode".

    If (and only *if* ) there was an insert episode, then that would move everything to the next airdate, and Shannon Peace's eppy might be moved as well.

    But this speculation might be wrong.
    It's possible that there was no "insert episode" --
    maybe the episode descriptions released ahead-of-time (the daily spoilers) were wrong.

    How to verify if there's a split:

    • whenever dgepress (Disney press site) releases GH episode photos for these episodes.  The episode numbers sometimes show on the photos.  Inserts usually have the letter "A" added to the episode number.
    • or if we check the daily spoiler descriptions and if they continue to be off by one day for several days,  then we know there was an insert that shifted airdates.

    What is up with these spoilers?

    Laura and Anna come to a mutual realization.
    Trina questions Josslyn and Dex about their relationship.
    Alexis and Finn support each other.
    Brook Lynn and Chase have an honest discussion about money.
    Elizabeth opens up to Gregory.

    I just watched Tuesday 4/16 on Hulu and the only thing in the daily spoiler I have seen that was actually used was the Trina, Joss, Dex stuff.

    No Anna and Laura, instead it was Jordan and Laura. No Gregory and Liz- Gregory and TJ. No Alexis and Finn at all, or Brook Lynn and Chase.


    I read other comments online elsewhere, that similar to yours, so I finally did some digging.
    You are right, they split one episode into two episodes, and then added some scenes to one of them.


    Analyzing the spoilers for Episode 15448:
    * Laura and Anna come to a mutual realization.
    * Trina questions Josslyn and Dex about their relationship.
    * Alexis and Finn support each other.
    * Brook Lynn and Chase have an honest discussion about money.
    * Elizabeth opens up to Gregory.
     

    The Trina/Josslyn/Dex scenes...
    aired Tues. 4/16  in US,
    and will air Wed. 4/17 in Canada.

    That episode also included these unspoiled scenes:
    -- Maxie/Felicia
    -- Laura/Jordan
    -- Sonny/Brick
    -- Jordan/Brick
    -- Sonny/Ava
    -- TJ/Gregory


    These scenes: Laura/Anna, Alexis/Finn,
    Brook Lynn /Chase/money, and Elizabeth/Gregory...
    all aired in Canada Tues. 4/16,
    and will Air Wed. 4/17 in U.S.


    This is verified by the recaps:

    This is a *recap* of what aired in US on Tues. April 16,
    and will air in Canada on Wed. April 17 to correct the mix-up:
    https://soaps.sheknows.com/general-hospital/recaps/725952/laura-struggles-over-sonny-beating-cyrus/


    This is a *recap* of
    what accidentally aired on Canada on Tues. April 16,
    and will correctly air in U.S. on Wed. April 17:
    https://soapsspoilers.com/general-hospital/recaps/gh-recaps-april-16-laura-urges-cyrus-seek-justice-sonny


    Suspicions that the episode may have been edited after filming and split into pieces?
    so maybe there was an "15448" and an "15448A"
    or something like that?
    (This has happened in the past occasionally).

    If there are 15448s, that might explain how Canada broadcast the two episodes in the wrong order ? ? ?)

    As I write this (Wed. morning April 17)

    • Both  episodes are up on Hulu already, 
      listed as airdates 4/16 and 4/17
      but likely with the original scene descriptions from the original daily spoilers.
       
    • One of the eppys is up on abc.com, listed as 4/16,
      with the description originally spoiled for 4/16, which includes scenes that haven't aired.
       
    • Neither is up on CityTV.com (Canada's network for GH)


    It's only theory/speculation at this point, but that would mean that the rest of the daily spoilers already posted would be moved a day, due to the insert?
    which that would mean that 15449 would air Thurs 4/18?
    This would also explain why Shannon Peace wondered if her final breakdown episode is moved to Thursday 4/18 -- if that's what happens.
    Who knows?

     

  7. What Shannon Peace said:
    Her three last breakdowns air:
    3rd-to-last: March 27.
    2nd-to-last:  date not listed.
    Final: mid-April.

    Shannon's most recent ig post *wondered* (questioned) if her last script would be moved to airdate of Thursday 4/17 due to episodes airing incorrectly this week. But she was confused by what was being tweeted by confused viewers.
    SOD said explained that the mix-up was only in the Canadian broadcast.
    That should have nothing to do with Shannon's breakdown episode airdate in the USA.

    Per SOD: 
    https://www.soapoperadigest.com/content/why-canada-got-a-different-general-hospital-episode/
    The 4/17 episode mistakenly aired 4/16 in Canada, 
    but the 4/16 episode aired correctly 4/16 in U.S.
    And..
    The 4/16 episode will now air 4/17 in Canada to make up..
    but the 4/17 episode will air as it should 4/17 in U.S.
    And..
    The 4/18 episode will air in both Canada and US on 4/18, which brings it all back to normal.

     

    Edit - the info came from Nathan Varni:

  8. According to SOD (Link)

    On Tuesday April 16, 2024, this happened:
    USA got the Tues April 16 episode on ABC,
    but Canada got the Wed. April 17 episode on CityTV.

    On Wed. April 17, USA on ABC will get the correct Wed April 17 episode,
    and Canada on CityTV will get the Tuesday April 16 episode they missed.

    That means by Thursday April 18, everyone will be watching the same scheduled episode of GH.

    SOD says:

    — human error.

    There was a mix-up and Canada ended up airing Wednesday’s episode. But our friends up north will not miss out on anything because tomorrow, they will get the Tuesday episode, while the U.S. will get the regularly scheduled Wednesday episode.

    That means by Thursday, everyone will be watching the same scheduled episode of GH.

    Looking forward to his return in the credits. Soon. 

    Ron said a few months ago that his stuff starts airing in June.

    And again, his ig story at end of March said two more months of scab writing.

    Two amazing episodes!

    Victor's memorial & Dick Van Dyke!

    No, it wasn't two episodes, it was three.
    Fairman said "According to a DAYS spokesperson, the nominated episodes this year for Days of our Lives are #14663, #14678 & #14679,
    which revolve around Victor’s death/funeral, and part of Dick Van Dyke’s storyline as Timothy Robicheaux."

    Episode #14663: Friday, August 18, 2023
    Episode # 14678: Thursday, September 7. 2023
    Episode #14679: Friday, September 8, 2023


    Ron explained to Michael Fairman that
    DaytimeEmmys writing submissions are two episodes;
    but WGA submissions are three episodes.

    The first episode was characters learning of Victor's death, Suzanne Rogers 40th anniv, Shawn-Douglas being stressed, Chloe considering Xander's marriage proposal, and Xander learning that Sarah is pregnant.

    The second episode was Victor's memorial.

    The third episode was mostly about the aftermath of Victor's memorial with Sarah giving birth and Vivian arriving, but also had some John/Timothy scenes.
