Thank you!

I've checked international news from BBC and other countries. It seems the G7 was surprised that Tr*mp left early. The world press is wondering how Tr*ump will lead the Middle East crisis. (my reaction is that the other countries simply cannot conceive of what an idiot Tr*ump is. You cannot expect rational behavior from him. You cannot assume he cares anything about other countries or even his own. He. does. not. care.) ------------------------------- From the Guardian live blog, evening of June 17 https://www.theguardian.com/world/live/2025/jun/17/israel-iran-conflict-live-updates-tehran-trump-evacuation-middle-east As the world awaits Donald Trump’s decision on whether the United States will enter the Israel-Iran conflict by lending military support to Israel or push for negotiations between the two countries, president Trump has posted this update on his Truth Social platform: "It is my Great Honor to announce that I will be putting up two beautiful Flag Poles on both sides of the White House, North and South Lawns. It is a GIFT from me of something which was always missing from this magnificent place. The digging and placement of the poles will begin at 7:30 A.M. EST, tomorrow morning. Flags will be raised at approximately 11 A.M. EST. These are the most magnificent poles made – They are tall, tapered, rust proof, rope inside the pole, and of the highest quality. Hopefully, they will proudly stand at both sides of the White House for many years to come!"

I had forgotten that there is a "youngandtherestless" youtube channel https://www.youtube.com/@youngandtherestless/videos which is different from the "YR_insider" youtube channel. https://www.youtube.com/@YR_INSIDER/videos (Both channels are official for the the show). Is the full-name one for USA only and geoblocked elsewhere? Is the insider one international? Not sure. It's been a few years since I've checked on that. Currently the full-name "youngandtherestless" has the spoiler promo and daily clips. The YR_Insider channel shows the "next week on Y&R" videos at the end of each week, plus occasional fun stuff from actors. Can someone from outside the USA confirm which channel is viewable for you?

That IG story post from Mandi Line says she works on two shows: Y&R and "deathdetailshulu". I think those sets are from the Hulu show "Death and Other Details". She is credited there: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt15439048/fullcredits/ Here's her post: Top half is Y&R, bottom half is Hulu

LOL they look pretty bad in that photo. The tall green walls are supposed to be the walls of the maze made of tall shrubbery. (When the characters were shown walking through the maze, the walls of the maze were much taller than the people.). When the scenes air, you don't see the top edges of the scenery boards which show in the behind-the-scenes photos. When it airs, it looks (somewhat) like real shrubbery. EDIT to clarify -- the maze walls are supposed to be shrubbery trimmed with a flat horizontal top. A very tall hedge. I think the food is set up in the center of the maze.

Yes Doug was fire today! I was glad to see it, and feel it.

Thanks. Wow, so I see where this storyline could go, then. I don't like Rocco and Gio being used as pawns in all of this argument between Lulu and Brook Lynn. Thankfully Finn Carr (Rocco) is a talented actor, and I think GM as Gio will do well, too.

Bo's red vest might have been Tom Horton's ? ? ? (just guessing based on the spoilers) It is reminiscent of the red Bo wore at their Oak Alley wedding vows. Screengrab from Access Hollywood, Oak Alley on left, June 2025 on the right: JPI Studios via soapcentral (Link)

I blame it on the DAYS social media team trying to be cutesy.

Yes that would have been good.

New York City's comptroller was arrested -- because he asked within a courthouse if the supposed agents had a warrant to arrest someone. He can be clearly heard on the video asking several times, calmly, for the warrant. https://bsky.app/profile/nytimes.com/post/3lrsykpw2e22w

That's actually the only think I remember about Brad Vernon, that he played tennis, he was blond, and was untrustworthy with Jenny Wolek, and then the actor Jameson Parker went to primetime on Simon&Simon. Edit to add, now reading a biography of the character, wow he turned out to be a horrible person after the recast, but I don't think I was watching then.

Does anyone have a clip? All I could find online was this photo, which doesn't show Gabi's face.

JustinJacksonHair and MakeupByOrlando both posted these same pictures of Melody in hair and makeup Orlando's post: https://www.instagram.com/p/DK_LvpERK6V/ Justin's post: https://www.instagram.com/p/DK_EP0VRV_2/ June 16, 2025 Nice, France justinjacksonhair (Justin Jackson, hairstylist) The hair for Nikki Newman in the France episodes are inspired from the 40s, 50s, and 60s.

Wednesday, June 18 Bo and Hope make plans for the future. Pivotal moments in the lives of young Tom and Alice Horton are revealed. Zach Chyz and Sydney Kathrann Smith reappear as "young Tom Horton" and "young Alice Horton". See the wedding dress picture upthread, and the Access Hollywood video preview above (Link to post) Some more photos for Wed. June 18 (Bo and Hope remarrying, etc) SOD photos (Link) and soapcentral photos (Link)

I was vaguely aware of Britt, Brad, and Maxie being involved in some convoluted surrogacy swap issues, but I wasn't watching GH when all that aired. I see that SOD just posted an explainer about Rocco's conception and birth storyline. (There's a hinted spoiler in it, so don't click if you want to be spoilerfree). https://www.soapoperadigest.com/content/the-wild-tale-of-britt-giving-birth-to-rocco-on-general-hospital/ For anyone willing to read it, would you verify if this is what happened? Because, wow.

I didn't read it that way. My *interpretation* of what MVJ said: I think she intended to say something like paraphrased in my own words, guessing what she's thinking "I'm aware of the complaints about some storylines fading out or feeling inconsistent, and I want to reassure you that there is a longterm plan, and.... that some things that seem to make no sense now, do fit into a larger overview, and will make sense eventually. And I do know what I'm doing." I mean maybe she was a bit gruff in how she said it, but I don't think she intended to be gruff. She follows a lot of social media accounts of ordinary soap fans, and she's aware of the feedback. If she didn't care what viewers thought, she wouldn't read their thoughts.

Promo version #3, in high definition, contains all the scenes from both of first two promos Y&R: French Riviera Promo, uploaded June 17 Edit, this version of the promo was taken down but you can see the content by watching the other versions.

From the end of the promo He is saying (to himself or to someone) "It's time.. for me to make myself known". (His video surveillance screens can be seen over his shoulder)

Dani asking Andre "Are you *sure* there's no other woman, perhaps someone closer to you in age?" , and he denies it. Naomi and Derek each wondering if Ashley actually wants someone other than Derek, and she denies it. Today those two scenes alternating seemed like an annoying anvil pointing to Andre/Ashley and, NO, please NO.

Exactly! She hasn't forgotten the storylines -- as she said, there's a plan.
