Liberty City

Tamara Braun would have been an excellent Victoria Newman. She had the bite that Heather Tom had; in her first months/year, Amelia Heinle was excellent as Victoria, but the moment she became a mother is the moment TPTB stripped Victoria of any edge she had. Josh Kelly could have been better suited for Drew than Cameron Mathison has.

The Rihanna concert is all that matters.

Was it revealed Daniel & Heather were married at one point?

And the same could be said for the Andrade family.

Yes they did; shot in the hallway of CBS Television City, and Phyllis was in some darkly-lit room having just had her hair done. So bad. The one outside set that was nice was Chancellor Park's temporary outdoor set during the summer months!

She showed up with a mission for this scene and succeeded!

Pretty sure it's this one they're referring to.

Cynthia Watros' performance at the end of yesterday's episode was Emmy worthy. I felt that.

Graziadei was seen on-set of the shoot when majority of the cast was there. The only one I noticed not to be present was Elizabeth Hendrickson (Chloe). They likely brought Graziadei in prior to his first filming, to include him in the cast shoot, considering plans were in motion already. His return was announced on September 19, one day before the anniversary/opening credit shoot. Mishael Morgan's exit aired around November 12, and Graziadei retuned November 21. So he wasn't that too early. General Hospital likely did the same thing with Kristina Wagner in 2021. They did both a cast shoot and an opening shoot, and The Young and the Restless has been putting both regular and recurring players in their opening for some time, so it would not surprise me if Morgan also shot an opening shot, in case she returned for episodes here and there. She's always stated she's open to returning if she is needed and her schedule permits her.

This was done in late September 2022. September 20 was when the shoot was done.

Paramount Press uploaded solo shots moments ago!

Hmmmm.... Robyn Candiace Karen (would have been first had it not been for that hair colour) Ashley Gisele Wendy Mia the one above Charisse (cannot remember her damn name) Charisse

Oh no no. That would have looked bad, and everyone would have just melted into the backdrop. It's one of the problems I have with the last two cast shoots they've done.

Definitely an improvement over the 2016 cast shoot, however, I do wish they wouldn't do this glam-looking thing every single time. Not to mention, the cast photo is already outdated, LOL!

An improvement over the 2016 cast image. However, at times, I do wish they'd do cast shoots without the formalwear, and would simply do more every day, characterwear. But this is pretty. But... the fact it is already outdated cast-wise. Whew.

Had they re-upped verDorn to series regular, I am pretty sure he would have stayed and not considered leaving.

Pay cuts. Pay cuts. Pay cuts. Everyone from cast to production were getting their budgets and pay slashed in order to keep the soaps in-production. And, with that, many cast members either went recurring or walked from the gig. From March to December 2005 we had these casting changes happen (via Soapcentral.com): Martines Asks Out of GL Contract [March 14] GL Brings In Newcomer to Play A.C. Mallet [March 19] Zimmer Stays At GL Amid Talk of Pay Cuts [May 31] After 26 Years, Light Dims for ver Dorn [June 5] Dusay out, bucks recurring trend [June 16] Hutchison Opts to Leave GL [July 6] Cosgrove Leaving GL for Primetime Gig [August 9] GL Ditches Popular Pairing of "Manny" [August 28] Wright's Exit Is a GL Stunner [September 9] Jerry ver Dorn To Light Up OLTL as Clint [September 19] MacDonald latest victim of GL cast cuts [September 26] Newcomer Forester to Take Over As GL's Cassie [September 29] Crystal Hunt Announces Her Exit [December 11] So, while Ellen Wheeler and her team re-introduced Dinah (under Gina Tognoni's portrayal), and saw the returns of Matt & Vanessa, there was a lot of casting bloodshed. They lost: Marj Dusay (who later agreed to stay), Nancy St. Alban, Paul Anthony Stewart, Jerry verDorn & Laura Wright all in the 2005 year after pay cuts were discussed, among others. So, they lost a lot of their core cast that had remained staples of Guiding Light that Wheeler inherited and were now lost. Plus, let's not forget Crystal Chappell being asked out of her contract and said-request being denied. They knew if they lost Chappell they'd be in major trouble.

Oh! I like! Who would yall want to see, then?

He was predominately doing primetime guest spots and a TV movie, as well. And in 1991, he landed the primetime series Good & Evil, which only lasted 11 episodes. He was probably securing some good auditions, etc.

This won't be changing anytime soon; Sony dismissed the set crew, so pretty much those community sets are permanently up, with some intermitted-changes for non-community sets.

I feel like, in their final years, Carly & Emily just stopped interacting on As the World Turns, and I can't recall of any instance that might have caused this. Same with Blake & Cassie on Guiding Light.

He did have talks with Jill Farren Phelps. In an interview with Santa Barbara Online, he said: "Yes, I had lunch with the Executive Producer, and was offered a great deal of money to return. It simply wasn't time - my prime-time career was doing well, I still had issues with the story, and just wasn't ready to go back." As for the world travels, he was gone from July 1989 to February 1990, and Terry Lester exited in the fall of 1990. I can't, either. I feel like doing The Bold and the Beautiful might have reminded him of why he left daytime.
