No real reason they can't all remain recurring. But if pressed to choose, I'd say Natalia. Looks more & more like she will warm Sonny's bed. And, apparently ELR was not on the list of new Real Housewives.

Yes, they took him off contract early last month. The thing is we do not know if he will remain on recurring or if when his contract cycle date comes up, or story makes happen, if he will be gone. Most people tend to be thinking gone, obviously, lately because of story. And, since Marshall was moved to recurring we have seen VERY little of him. If Easton is still shown among the contract players, then, that is because of his cycle date & basically is a technicality. And, it was just noted that he is not in any of the new 7 group shots.

BTW, speaking of those of you who like Johnny's ass, there is currently an image up on TwiX of Tom Pelphrey that you guys are gonna want to see. If you need the link, PM me. Now, Eric & Nicole, so so very good. And, Sloan has been no slouch. Y'all had me laughing my head off about the instances of DID in our little hamlet, Salem. I'm telling you, there's got to be something in the water!!! I was trying to think how many Salemites have had DID. https://www.soapoperadigest.com/content/a-look-back-at-other-memorable-did-cases-on-days-of-our-lives/

But, really there are a lot who are on recurring. Me, I like Kraze, so Blaze and Natalia are not a problem to me. And, I like the Davis women. If I had to let one go, it would be Sam for me, too. Seems odd but they don't really write PI stuff for Sam usually & KeMo phoned it in too much for a good long while. As far as the GH Kids On The Block go, I could lose Vile-ette, Charlotte who is not currently around anyway, Georgie, and if push comes to shove both Avery & Donna. Gossing & Easton were bumped down off contract in the past 4 months. Since I believe we are in dire need of losing some more people. I hope Easton is going. Marshall could go, too. And, I could say goodbye to Sasha, Cody, Curtis, Stella, Valentin, Comet & any other livestock, Robert could go if need be, who am I missing? Oh, now, possibly unpopular & vets to boot but Lucy & Scott.

Thanks, Paul. I enjoyed that.

On max, Deidre Hall is a guest star on the Jean Smart hit comedy, "Hacks", Season 3, Episode 7, new today. The show is hilarious!!! https://www.soapsindepth.com/posts/days-of-our-lives/deidre-hall-previews-her-guest-turn-on-hacks So, more about it. Dee's part was small to mid-size & she was in the B or C story. No scenes with Deborah (Jean Smart) or Ava (Comic's writer). She looked amazing & of course, she hit her marks & got all of her lines, with gusto. She played the mother of a guy who works for Deborah Vance (Jean Smart). I am now convinced that everyone who has said that DAYS has terrible lighting, are all correct!

Today Finn spoke of her. Never heard him do that before. To the effect that "x" years ago she just left them. He sounded bitter, angry but he is grieving & drinking.

Not if they, too, fall victim to the Port Charles Reaper. CG, bite your tongue!!! What an awful thought. And, if this Reaper, you've not said Grim, is invoked 3 times, what do you suppose happens?!!!

Of course I am enjoying the Kraze coverage. There's been so many times that were drought. But, even more than getting to see Kristina & Ali (Blaze) I am so liking the dialogue & what I hope is some character growth for Kristina. I suspect we would agree that she could use it. Kristina can't just stay stuck stupid, selfish, self-centered. It's way too many words that begin with S. And, Vee, either Ignore me or don't, but quit saying you do & then quoting me or giving me one of your lectures "for my own good". You say I do things & then describe things you do. That's called projection. Enough already. Today was Carly's only appearance in 2 weeks, but, boy, was it ever good! To Anna, Jack Brennan & I do not have the kind of "stab-yourself-to-get-to-see-me kind" of a relationship you describe. To Sonny, you blame Jason, Michael & me, what are you going to do when you run out of traitors? And Ava, like a spider in her web, is waiting to egg Sonny on. Like others, they keep really confusing me about Ava. Now, I wonder if she was somehow getting revenge on Alexis about Julian. @John Loved Lois's dialog to Ned, exes who love each other but are great friends, and have a daughter .... Is anyone else annoyed by this Kaiser Permanente ad that keeps rising up from below to about 30% of the screen?!!!

I already said what? That I would cease and desist. Why are you continuing this? Don't.

Been thinking it was going to be DID, yes again, for a little bit. And, here we go. At least I think the actor is up to it. Now, if the writing will just be there! Meanwhile, I just think Stephanie is written so dang stupid. And, why? What purpose does it serve?

You're not kidding around? You seriously object to what's been posted today? Well, it was about writing so that doesn't fly as an objection. Wrong writer, wrong time, though, alright, if you insist. I will personally cease & desist.

This stuff keeps you up at night, doesn't it?

Yes, right, point for that! It would be huge if Krissy & Joss became buds. But, Molly v. Sonny is a clear case of conflict of interest! However, Anna made it clear that she was going to force Molly to prosecute about Cyrus so she will take that stance again, soon, apparently.

Rauch fired her. Then, couldn't find anyone to take her place. (Why? Unknown. Pay not good enough? Didn't care to work for Rauch? Other?) Rauch called her & asked her if she'd come back. And. She. Did. Amazing. This all after he shot down every single idea she pitched. (I know we've heard of that happening at other shows, with other personnel, etc.) One of the ideas she pitched was a love story betw Olivia & Holly!!! Labine said that the only thing she got to write at GL that she enjoyed was Mae the cigarette girl. If that's not sad & sorry, I don't know what is.

As much as I am loathe to think of adding cast before the cast size is seriously adjusted, I would love to have her back. That little taste we got of her told me all I need to know & we don't need a recast!!!

She lives in Florida. What a commute!!! Often people compare Violet to both young Robin & young Emma to me. I get it that they know I loved Robin & adored Emma & cannot abide 'Vile-ettte' but as you could easily predict I just think they have lost their minds. I never thought about it but, sure, it's true, maybe Violet has been tainted with Chase family cooties.

I don't know if this is the best place to post this. But, if any of you have this info tucked away, a google drive of Y&R episodes, it has gone defunct. All the episodes are gone. https://mega.nz/folder/4CsF2QQA#eoWqh_nDB5XU-EDjGv7k0A https://docs.google.com/document/d/1w0JJZuh7PD6ckXsHWI6AGaMr-Fb3R9QLJY6v1-PLrPs/edit?pli=1 Y&R Complete: 2019-2022 2014-2015 2010-2011 Y&R Partial: 2016-2018 2012-2013 2007-2009 2000-2001 2023 1980s 1970s Y&R Nothing: 1990-1999 2002-2006 Y&R Classic Episodes Part 1 1973 … 1981-1990 Part 2 Part 3 Part 4

So, yesterday was sorta interesting. GH Wed., 5-22-24, Epi 49 of PM/EK. Breakdown Chris Van Etten & Lucky Gold, Scriptwriter Stacy Pulwer & Cathy LePard. The scene with Michael & Joss at a table was a filler scene. It was added later. (But, didn't it fit so nicely?) Also, the last day of May Sweeps. M-F a month is 23 episodes, so, they are just at 2 months and a handful. I'm still struck that this has happened, at this juncture. What we think we'll still get to see of the PM/EK "experiment": Pikeman really heats up, Cates & Jason & Anna all have "action" scenes. I don't think we know anything else. Oh, a question. DIGEST said their material would run into midsummer. Do we think then that we will get to see their July Sweeps period? July Sweeps begins Th. June 27.

This is an episode of GH appropriate to this topic on Rumble.com, the YouTube competitor I mentioned. https://rumble.com/v459vz9-general-hospital-101491-episode.html

Just checked the Hulu episode & all is well. We saw it. Very short scene, right? However, and maybe I'm just losing my mind, but I don't recall Mary following Violet into the house, just to check that she got inside okay & exchanging brief words with Finn. WHY in God's name would they deliver different episodes to abc.com or YouTubeTV & Hulu? Apparently I AM losing my mind. We saw this, too. Please ignore this whole message. OY.

I've seen some folk who think she was too harsh, even calling her a bi*ch in the way she was to him, but, I agree with you. Wait, what scenes with Ava. I thought that was in the previews for today? Am I confused? Well, I can't agree with that. Kristina showed more growth & maturity in the last 2 days than the previous 2 years. When she is with Ali (Blaze) she is not only a better person, she is also smarter! But yesterday was all about Sonny's adult children. Dante finally told Sonny off! Michael tried to do a favor for one sister & was perceptive that the other sister is still deeply in love with Dex. Joss did an about face, a total 180, out of concern for Kristina who she supposedly hates!

Right?! Biscuits Mania! We definitely saw Talia in the kitchen.

Chanel gives all the baked goods out for free on some table in the square. Why would I ever try? Oh, please, I am dying to see the inside. Oh, damn, that's right, no set.

You are right on the money, totally on point!!! Who is he?
