That's possible! I'm also wondering, what if they have a stronger reconciliation later with more of a love scene?

I agree that the characters have many facets - sometimes I like a character one day, and dislike them the next. That's great writing because it's not a retcon of the character, but instead another facet being shown. (with the exception of Eva changing over time, which feels more like a retcon)

But I am, I, I — I think it's worth it. I think it's worth to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the Second Amendment to protect our other God-given rights. -- Charlie Kirk, April 5, 2023 Verified by Snopes https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/charlie-kirk-gun-deaths-quote/

Each of the Duprees, one by one, said they were betting Nicole vs Ted, and they each said their money was on Nicole. Nobody bet on Ted. I missed a few words but I *think* that's the gist of it? Curious if there was more. I watched live. Will watch again on Pplus later.

I notice that actress Christina Ferraro is credited on IMDB as "Dr. Sofia Navarro" for some appearances on GH and as "Dr. Frida Navarro" for other appearances on GH. Or is IMDB confused, as sometimes happens? Seems to be the same character, working as the ob/gyn for Carly's pregnancy with Donna; Maxie's pregnancy with Bailey; Sasha's pregnancy with Liam; Willow's pregnancy with Amelia; Molly/TJ/Kristina surrogacy; Sasha's pregnancy with Daisy; and Brook Lynn wondering about having children. Was it the same actress each time? She has clips of some (but not all) of those scenes on her website christinaferraro.com It's definitely "Sofia" in this photo: https://www.instagram.com/p/C1704O4SuXR/ She posted on her IG stories September 8, 2025 that she's taping at GH again.

Jazmen's dialogue today is fire.

According to Stephanie Sloane's tvinsider interview with Tyler Joseph Andrews, he says that he originally auditioned for the role of Tate. Did she correctly quote the actor? Maybe it's an error? Aside from the *obvious* ... the timing seems off, since he says he auditioned for that role a few months before he was cast as Theo. I mean, if he auditioned for Tate, then it was about a year ago, so were they thinking of replacing Leo Howard as Tate? On the other hand, maybe he auditioned as *Theo* with with Ashley P (Holly) but the audition might have used old "sides" for Tate? Quote: For Andrews, it marks his first soap role, but not his first audition at the Peacock show. “I had actually auditioned for Tate (Black, Leo Howard), and I), and I screen-tested with Ashley Puzemis (Holly Jonas),” he begins. “I ended up not getting it, and I really wanted the job. A couple months later, I auditioned again, but they didn’t really tell me who I was auditioning for. I tested with Marissa (Reyes, Arianna Horton), and then about a week later, they let me know that I got the job. I was really happy because the first time that I had auditioned, I told my agent, ‘Look out for the email, ’cause I think I might get this one.’ And then when it didn’t happen, I was disappointed, so I was really grateful that they ended up calling me back in the audition once more.” End quote

The actress who intermittently plays Dr. Navarro (OB/GYN) was taping today Sept 8.

It's cross-promotion, as Vee said. Y&R and B&B do this with some of the CBS primetime reality shows -- for example BigBrother houseguests sometimes appear as single-episode U/5s on B&B or Y&R --- with almost nothing to do but maybe bring a main character coffee or a file folder --- but CBS promotes the heck out of those appearances.

I've subscribed to Paramount Plus for years, and before that, its predecessor "CBS All Access". Usually, when the fall "season premiere" begins for Y&R, the previous season's Y&R's episodes are deleted from the streaming service. They keep only the last five episodes of the prior season available to view, and then after a week or so, those are gone, too. Then they keep adding the new season's episodes to the streaming service, and leave *all* of the new season's episodes remain up and available -- until the following autumn when it's all deleted. A long while ago, it used to be that every autumn, B&B kept two years up and deleted everything prior. But in recent years, B&B has done did the same as Y&R, keeping only the new season available to stream. I don't know if CBS/Paramount still does this for both shows. But it's good to know, in case you're behind on watching and need to catch up -- it all might disappear soon. I'm curious how this will work for Beyond the Gates? Since "season one" appears to be continuing through December, then hopefully all the episodes will remain available to stream.

I did like that afterwards at the hospital, Chelsea was saying how she was almost driven to kill Allison, and that Allison almost turned her into a murderer, which isn't who Chelsea wants to be. I mean, it would have been survival-justified, but I get what Chelsea is saying. There's going to be some emotional ramifications, I think as Chelsea works through this.

I know, finally!

That was a wtf. Two paragraphs about the stalker-created "wedding", but the columnist thought it was real. And they refer to Chelsea and Allison are the show’s two female gay characters. Clearly not watching because they didn't know that Madison exists. They refer to Ms. Duplaix as a newcomer to the soap world. A reference to the Vanessa character as "the very sweet Vanessa McBride". Yeah they're writing about something they don't watch.

That tvinsider article mainly addresses Leslie Charleson. From reading it, I didn't get the impression that the Tristan mention was specific. I assumed that they mentioned Tristan because he recently died and they wanted to state that he'll be honored in some way eventually. Obviously I don't know anything, but that's how I read it. Jonathan Frakes (Star Trek actor/director and husband to Genie Francis) -- he did a podcast on September 1st. He talks about soaps and the skill of memorizing many pages of dialogue, which Genie can do. That part about memorization and doing things on a single take starts around 7 minutes in. At about 8 minutes in, Frakes says (podcast uploaded Sept. 1st) he says about Genie: "I've seen yesterday's work for her was 88 pages she was in because it was a memorial service and she spoke on about 32 of them."

I didn't think Ted was cruel, at all. I thought he simply did the logical thing, and swatted that gnat.

I loved Eva the first few months because she wouldn't put up with Leslie's bull, at all. Eva schemed to stop Leslie. But the last Thursday of June, just before the week-long reruns, the writing for Eva changed with the scene of Eva and Leslie at Orphey Gene's reminiscing about the past, and Eva began to be loving towards Leslie. It felt (to me) like a big change for the writing for the character of Eva. I've been meaning to mention how much that has bothered me. I do *NOT* want to see Eva defending Leslie *at all*. I watched today just to see Chelsea free herself, as I thought she would! But WTF with the writing for Leslie today? She cried, she felt used, Eva actually had dialogue saying Leslie was "vulnerable". Yeah NO NO NO. Leslie is a sociopath and no change in the writing will change that for me. The writers inputting dialogue to make us *see* Leslie's "vulnerable side" ? ? ? ? No no no no no. No way. Not for me! I was team Ted on this.

THIS

Just no. Beyond The Gates is excellent. B&B sucks.
