No, thanks. Just put Shawn/Jada back on screen, and let that play out. Shawn always seems like Belle's fallback, and IMO, Shawn deserves better than that. But I admit to bias because I don't like Belle much.

I gasped, seeing this. At least Tristan is not suffering. I will forever be glad that he got to reprise Robert Scorpio and work with Finola Hughes and Kimberly McCullough again. May he rest in peace. The cast of GH has had far too many losses lately.

Because we knew this was coming: The Supreme Court has been asked to take a case that will formally overturn gay marriage:

Just got some SOD e-mail, and it confirms Rena Sofer will still commute, just as Kirsten Storms and Rick Hearst are.

Just adding my thanks, as well, @Franko!

Not Paramount. Peacock, which is obviously through NBC. And the show barely had a budget on NBC proper as it is.

No argument here. I can't believe it's still a thing 23 freaking years later.

I wonder if old scripts from a good 20 years ago are used for the Sonny schtick, with the names just crossed out for the new ones. Lather, rinse, repeat, yawn.

Susan Flannery (ex-Stephanie) is apparently moving to Australia! Susan Seaforth Hayes posted a picture with her, Susan, and Suzanne Rogers (Susan Flannery having played Dr. Laura Horton on Days in the '60s!), mentioning it. The 'three Susies at lunch', as SSH put it: https://www.instagram.com/p/DM_dJBiSTAK/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==

I understand that Alison Sweeney has other things going on career wise. I also understand that fans love her as Sami. But the never-ending writing gymnastics to have the character flit in and out at will - often disrupting the show's flow - drags things down, in my opinion. I will be controversial and say, if Alison is unable or unwilling to come back to Days for a longer stint, recast Sami. She is needed on canvas with Johnny's issues. And if Carrie (even if it was short lived) and Eric can survive recasting, so can Sami. But the one foot in, one foot out method serves no purpose.

You're welcome!

Not sure about the latter, but Keith Hamilton Cobb popped up as a judge on Law & Order back in 2022 in the episode, "Free Speech".

Bwahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!! That is all.

Some things should not be remade. This is one. With Norman Lear no longer with us, this is doomed.

Bye!

My oldest of two brothers was a metalhead and loved Ozzy, so I knew of - and even liked - a few of his songs. No denying that he paved the way for the metal genre. (My other brother was into Rush, Triumph, and Tesla (no, not the cars!)...) May Ozzy Osbourne RIP. God now has one heck of a chaotic angel on his hands.

I never had use for Gwen. The money angle doesn't change that. She still seems aimless. And, as pointed out, living in the DiMera mansion makes zero sense, to me. But then, Gwen never made sense, so it's just continuing that trajectory.

That's pretty cool! (I was always surprised how many AMC actors appeared on Hunter! Mark LaMura, Dorothy Lyman, Robert Gentry, and Kathleen Noone were others, with Noone/Gentry again playing a couple!). It always sort of mystified me why NBC didn't try to have its California-based soap actors appear, too! Oh, well.

Oh, wow. I never knew that was Janet Hubert! (For the record, the actor playing her other half was none other than Darnell Williams (ex-Jesse Hubbard, AMC))!

Yeah, even to we Gen X'ers. Maybe that rep/thought process isn't fair, but it existed. (My own grandmother loved the CBS soaps, so that rep was probably based on some truth.) As a whole, growing up (I was a teen in the 'mid 80s until I hit 20 in '92, for reference!), the CBS soaps were considered old-fashioned. I know when I hit high school/college, as ratings-challenged as they were, the NBC soaps seemed popular in my age group, especially Days. But General Hospital on ABC was popular, too. (Although I started on All My Children as a kid, since my late mom watched that from day one.) All that being said, Eileen Fulton was the prototype of Erica Kane, the big "name" of As The World Turns and earned her respect. May she rest in peace. Living to 91 is certainly a victory, signalling a life well lived.

Say what, now?! Glad I missed that, too. She also had a thing with Roman, didn't she? Which makes the fact that Roman is now hitched to Kate sort of icky, but I know - it's a soap. But still! Apparently, Billie has a thing for older men.

I get a kick out of the fact that Olivia D'Abo got a nomination. I know her best as the Moriarty character to Vincent D'Onofrio's Sherlock-like detective, Det. Robert Goren, on Law & Order: Criminal Intent. Ironically, her character's name was Nicole Wallace, not to be confused with the political personality of the same name. Also remember her as eldest sister Karen Arnold on the original Wonder Years.

Speaking of Laura and her poorly-written death, Gwen should be rotting in prison. Hell, she shouldn't EXIST, but I'd take prison. Why is this retcon nobody still skulking around? If the show loves Emily O'Brien so much, keep her Theresa and call it a day. At least that character has actual ties to the show. But this whole deal with Xander and Sarah mooning is already OLD. And I say it as one that likes/liked the pairing once upon a time, but if this is the best the writers can do? Move Sarah on to...someone. Let Xander/Gwen out smug each other. But nothing new is happening here, and I fail to see why Gwen needed to come back at all.

I don't watch B&B and never have, but it usually had a few noms. The show must be the pits right now to be shut out so far! (I say so far because the Supporting Actor and Actress nominations are not out yet.) I wonder how CBS feels about it? Though, honestly, these awards are barely relevant these days with so few soaps. Seems almost like a Cracker Jacks prize. Still, though, to have so few shows and still get shut out? Ouch.

At least Nashville is a helpful code word to identify those that exist in a certain orange atmosphere, I guess.
