date: Friday, December 5, 2025 | Christopher Dunn, Danielle Paige | Michael V. Pomarico Love seeing Tracy finally pop up again. Nice seeing her. I appreciate Vernon keeping Marcel on the path he's meant to be on, and he looks quite handsome at the same time. Uh-oh. Ted is going to go for the jugular on Tomas. That is papa bear right there. Damone is a whole lot of a person... perhaps a bit too much, but his makeup work on the women is flawless. Aw, a Devon and Neil mention. How special is that? Just wish it was something we could have seen. Not the spoilt bitch still obsessing and being all about herself. Sweetheart, LET IT GO! And I appreciate Nicole not allowing that "half" to slide. Sharon and Tracy's reaction to the news about Dana being Barbara's daughter is hilarious and very on point. Not Jacob having something negative to say about Eva, and he barely even knows her. Nicole put that mirror right up in front of her spoilt, self-centred bitch of a spawn. Good on her. I like hearing more about Eva's backstory, and I appreciate Ted truly getting to know his daughter and her history prior to his knowing she existed. Tomas, I would not do that. Your life is about to be destroyed. D E S T R O Y E D! Not Tracy catching onto Sharon and Vernon's secret meeting. Notes: I never expected Dunn and Paige to work together, but they are a dream team! Hope to get more from them as we head into 2026. I appreciate Pomarico's direction and that we are seeing some alt. views of established sets we have yet to see. It is very exciting. The fashion and makeup on the ladies of this soap today is top-shelf! Everyone is looking flawless, especially in preparation for WinterFest. A true show-up-and-show-out gala. And a Forrester Creation? I love that callback.

100% Watching Beyond the Gates is warm and welcoming; watching General Hospital (and the others) feels like a slow-moving chore.

And I think that worked in her favour; audiences were so used to seeing her as Dixie that seeing her in a role like that of Rosanna, it worked to her benefit as a recast. Plus, Yvonne Perry was out of the role for enough time that it allowed for her to really stake her claim.

The more we are given Peter Bergman and Melody Thomas Scott onscreen together, the more I feel robbed of the Jack and Nikki reunion. Truly.

I feel like Julie Pinson was received well.

Damn. That's disappointing. I suppose, given that he lives in Texas, it's more convenient for him to be recurring.

Errol already confirmed Vaughan is on contract. Lindstrom has been recurring since the beginning.
