Liberty City

Casey Moss (JJ), on set with Matthew Ashford (Jack) & Melissa Reeves (Jennifer), in what appears to possibly be a cast photo shoot in preparation for the 60th anniversary this fall?! This would be their first cast shoot since 2020, and their first since transitioning from NBC to Peacock in 2022.

Is it worrisome? Only in the slightest. I know here that TV38 (WSBK) only airs soaps if WBZ-TV is in the middle of a major news break (and we get noted ahead of it's going to be on the affiliate channel).

Is currently filming a film where he is married to a woman., a first for him in a project. Would welcome a return to DAYS as he misses the whole cast and does not think he'll be invited back to Y&R anytime soon, as he's not on "their radar". Told the Y&R publicist that Fen being gay felt "forced," not realizing it until he got the script, and said it did not feel organic to the role; it felt like a "thing they did" to the character, but also noted it could have been hinted at prior to his time in the role (ie: Max Ehrich). Y&R: close with Sasha Colle, Camryn Grimes, Loren Lott & Melissa Ordway DAYS: close with Emily O'Brien & Greg Rikaart. Has heard about Beyond the Gates and had no idea The Talk had ended. Had only heard about Gates via press releases and noted Mike Manning being on it and acknowledged it was a predominately Black cast soap, which he praised. Is all for more soaps on television.

It's so sad what's happening to her. Saw the horrid Lifetime "documentary," as well as the TMZ feature. It's just... so sad.

It was bumped to 9am, because of Rachael Ray's talk show debut in 2006. And then, if I remember, Ray's talk show moved to 9am (briefly), and Let's Make a Deal resumed the original 10am time slot. I believe several markets had Guiding Light on at 9am, as well.

That's insane. 🤣 I remember when GL moved on hour here near the end. From 10am to 9am, I believe?

That makes the most sense; I am sure it helps [several] did either live in Atlanta or did relocate for the show, but for some (with families) it might not have been viable. Thanks for the further explanation, Errol! You're on top of it, and it's much appreciated. 🥰

I am fairly certain Beyond the Gates is three months tape-to-air. I noticed on one actor's IG Stories a script for "May 2025," which would still place them at three months tape-to-air, which I think is a fair place to be, especially for a new soap opera.

Ah, that makes sense; thanks for explaining. It's always kind of fascinated me how things don't air at the same time across the same network. Ah, those pesky timezones/affiliates, etc. Looking it up, my station (WCVB-TV, channel 5) is affiliated with ABC but owned by Hearst Television. Nothing was more confusing than when NBC ditched WHDH (channel 7) for their own network, NBC10 Boston; eight years later, and it still feels wrong. 🤣

I know GH moved to 2pm here and never moved back when other regions returned it to its original 3pm time slot following the end of Katie, I believe it was?

Wow! Thanks for sharing this rare find.

It feels like the same thing that happened with Harmony/Lorraine (Inga Cadranel); redeem and then completely tear down.

I am not going to be watching GH live; my attention is purely on BTG now.

It's getting that much more real.

If repeats of The Price Is Right can outperform The Talk, I have faith there is a window of opportunity for Beyond the Gates. May it take a bit of time? Sure. But I have faith it'll happen at some point. Honestly speaking, The Talk was relatively watchable up until the endless lineup changes. I always said the two things The Talk had over The View were: production and a consistent lineup.

She's sexually fluid. Not happening.

SAME!
