This interview is so in-depth about lots of soap history, I'm glad you gave the interview its own thread here https://boards.soapoperanetwork.com/topic/70161-sheri-anderson-interview-june-11-2026/#findComment-2101011

Amazing interview with Sheri Anderson. So much history with other writers. Lots and lots of information and stories. This interview definitely deserves its own thread!

Is there a thread for "cancelled syndicated daytime talk shows"? There's the ABC daytime thread, the NBC daytime thread, the CBS daytime thread ... but where to put syndication? I'll put this here for now, referencing 1990s talk shows: Let me know if it belongs somewhere else? April 27, 2026: Ricki Lake on Maury Povich's podcast

preview video for week of June 15. Jack is with Traci, he confronts Patti, says "my wife is still missing!"

These pics are from Canadians who freezeframed the preview video for week of June 15. (preview that will air at end of June 12 U.S. episode)

Karla on instagram today says, if you can, watch on a big screen with surround sound!

Joe Lando (Jake Harrison OLTL) will portray "Pierce Kennedy", the new State Pathologist, debuting on Season 5 of Jane Seymour's series "Harry Wild", an Irish series on Acorn TV. Jane stars as retired literature professor Harriet (Harry) Wild who solves mysteries. https://www.tvinsider.com/1194903/harry-wild-season-5-cast-premiere-date-details-trailer/ (This is, of course, a Dr. Quinn reunion. You may remember that Joe Lando's home caught afire during the 2025 Los Angeles area wildfires, and Jane welcomed Joe & family & pets to stay with her during the crisis)

oops yes thanks I'll move it.

Kyle has a son Harrison who is elementary-school aged, approximately 8 years old, give or take a few years. The child's backstory: The child was conceived when Kyle was somewhere around his early twenties -- Kyle was living in New York, but partying in the Hamptons in the summers -- at one of those parties, Kyle slept with an older married woman. Her husband was originally thought to be the father, but wasn't. Her husband died, she's in jail, and Kyle has custody. So yeah that would make Kyle about the same age as Martin. Kyle Abbott and Abby Newman-Winters are approximately the same age as each other. Their mothers Diane Jenkins and Ashley Abbott separately tried to steal Victor Newman's sperm from a sperm bank around the same week. Diane accidentally took Jack Abbott's sperm instead. The thefts were close in time, but I'm not sure about the timeframe of the inseminations.

Per several cast interviews, the Y&R cast was in Atlanta for four days in January 2026 to film the crossover. So Diane attending the BTG event was filmed months before Diane disappeared on Y&R. Y&R had months to write/adjust dialogue to explain her being at Fairmont Crest, and why Jack was unsurprised to see her there. Y&R characters know Victor was in Fairmont Crest. Why don't they discuss Diane ? ? ? I wonder if this newly-cast doctor's arc will explain any of this? ? ?

You post it correctly. But for whatever reason, the embedding isn't clickable on my computer? Here's the full link: https://www.tvinsider.com/1269427/jere-burns-young-and-restless-diane-mystery/ Jere Burns’ debut airdate on Y&R Monday, June 15. USA (Friday June 12 CDN). This is for a multi-episode arc. Burns will play the new role of Dr. Laurence Markham and sharing scenes with Susan Walters (Diane Jenkins). This will apparently address the mystery of Diane’s whereabouts on Y&R. The last time viewers saw Diane in Genoa City was on May 14, when she left Jack a voicemail, and had seemingly disappeared. Despite being missing on Y&R, Diane appears on BTG in the crossover. Diane and Jack are together in Fairmont Crest, even as her disappearance remains unresolved in Genoa City. image credit Howard Wise for JPI via tvinsider

Doris Belack's Anna Wolek Craig was everything. I watched her live and loved her. I don't think I saw the recast. Always exclaimed with glee whenever Anna Craig appeared as the judge on Law & Order series.

The social media cross-promotion for both soaps for the crossover has been fantastic, really really great. (it's in the special spoiler thread for the crossover.) Great until they didn't tell the BTG actresses that Matt Clark is a rapist.

I know! just ewwww

Random silly crossover nonspoiler stuff.

I wonder if they'll start Thurs June 11 BTG episode with a replay of start of tornado, and maybe someone will mention then what happened on Y&R today re: Victor.

Jack: "Andre Richardson the photographer? We have tried to hire you several times" Yeah another reminder that the Andre character seems to be inspired by Malcolm Winters.

I was just going to say that!

As mentioned on the SON board cosmetic changes thread, Errol added these yesterday... holding the cursor over the heart icon, there are options to click. I appreciate lots of posts on these BTG threads and now it will be easier to indicate appreciation!
