For all the posters on the board I want to start a fake soap opera articles post.For those that are a little creative can also make fake magazine covers to go along with it.Here's my article for starters:

NBC gives Passions a reprieve from Cancellation:

NBC Daytime executives give the recently canceled soap Passions a reprieve to continue airing with a unprecedented renewal for 4 years instead of the yearly renewals they used to get.With the renewal it keeps the show on the air through July 2011.As one of the incentives of the renewal Passions creator and headwriter James E. Reilly will be replaced promptly with new headwriting team Bridget and Jerome Dobson.The Dobsons will be bringing a new dimension to Passions and will put toward an effort to bring back viewers and help bring in new viewers.The 4yr renewal is apart of an effort for the Dobsons to help raise the ratings as part of a vote of confidence from NBC.A New Executive producer will also be installed as well by the name of Linda Gottlieb is also apart of the renewal deal.As apart of the new deal the 4th hour that was going to be added to the Today has been scrapped do to viewer outcry and viewer lack of interest for 4 hrs of the Today show.

'DAYS' and 'B&B' Swap Actors!

It was done before with Lauren Koslow (Kate, Days) and Joe Mascolo (ex-Massimo, B&B, ex-Stefano, Days), although it turned out to be a one-sided deal in the end. This time around, it's tit-for-tat from the very beginning. In a shocking move, CBS's "The Bold & The Beautiful" and NBC's "Days of Our Lives" are swapping actors for the longterm.

Eileen Davidson will be returning to her 'Days' role as the mega-popular Kristen Blake DiMera in May as Days lends Josh Taylor (Roman) to B&B in a very interesting new role. Davidson was recently fired from Y&R, and quickly hired by its sister show to bring her 'Restless' character to Los Angeles. For story-related purposes, her run on B&B was always intended to be a short one. On the other hand, B&B is said to have "hugs plans" for Josh Taylor. Says B&B honcho Brad Bell: "We're ecstatic! We haven't had a coup like this since Ronn Moss. We tried getting Rudy (Boesch) of 'Survivor' fame to come on and play himself in a cameo, but schedules were conflicting. We lucked out and got Josh Taylor. He'll have a steamy affair with Stephanie." For a photo of the real Rudy Boesch, see photo below.

Meanwhile, Ken Corday (executive producer, Days) and Hogan Sheffer (headwriter) are thrilled to have Davidson back in Salem. "We've waited a long time for this and we're thrilled," says Ken Corday. "But we have to keep tight-lipped about how her story kicks off."

Sheffer isn't quite as quiet, though. "Kristen will begin appearing to Marlena in dreams," says the scribe. "Eventually, those dreams turn into nightmares. As you may expect, the nightmares become reality. This will be a wild ride, like something straight out of 'Hostel.' Eileen (Davidson) is just as excited as we are."

Davidson's first airdate is May 21. Taylor first airs on B&B in August.

Conboy damn near destroyed GL, along with his pal Ellen The Hack Weston. The budget problems we have today are definitely partially his fault as he burned the show's budget on ridiculous sets like the damn baseball field and hall of mirrors. Words cannot even begin to describe how much I hated GL when he was in charge. August 2003 - May 2004 was the only period of GL since I started watching in 1998 that I would not watch the show.

    • The other issue with Missy: in June 2020, she "liked" some social media posts by Candace Owens -- things Candace said that were against Black Lives Matter.  That is described here https://tvline.com/news/melissa-reeves-racism-days-of-our-lives-instagram-controversy-2894568/ I don't know if that was ever resolved.
    • She appeared onscreen not long after Rose Livingston and Sara Montaigne, and we found out that Sara was Rose's estranged daughter. I wonder whether Peggy might have been part of that family group -- or else they were just juggling a few different potential mysteries so that they could develop whatever seemed to be getting the best response from the audience. They didn't do anything much with Rose and Sara really either. Maybe Rose would have become more prominent if Rachel and Mac had split up over Mitch, or if Sara had really flourished. In some ways I can picture Cheryl being affected by MJ's prostitution similarly to how Josie was distressed by finding out about Sharlene. But I can also see that Josie as a Frame being involved with Matthew would have different stakes for Rachel and Sharlene than Cheryl being involved with Scott. I do think the solution for Cheryl would have had to be a badder boy than Scott -- either a real bad boy who would do her wrong, or the kind of bad boy (not Chad!!!) who is essentially misunderstood and other people just don't understand. Cheryl would also have been better off with some friends her own age. Matthew and Josie benefited a bit from having other teenagers to interact with.
    • Sally Spencer was a decent actress, but the writing destroyed the "M.J." that Kathleen Layman had built. Layman had a quiet strength about her, and she and Osburn really felt like sisters. Spencer's character should have been either an unmentioned sister, or maybe Jake's that grew up close to Kathleen, M.J. and the rest, but was away for a few years before joining the force. Kristen Marie was o.k., but I always got a mousier vibe from her. Being pigeon-holed with Scott for most of the run hurt things for her, as well.  The Loves were also underserved between Rhonda Lewin and Philece Sampler. Philece would have been better as Nicole. Thank goodness Anne Heche  showed up for the next round of auditions. Christopher Holder was mediocre as Peter, but given a shot, I think Marcus Smythe could have stuck around for a while.  I would have had Peggy Lazarus be a Frame -- possibly an ex-wife for Vince with an agenda. Smythe and Hollen had  a fun chemistry that could have kept the two around.. Bringing recasts for  Cheryl and Ben back mixing it up with other Frames. Corys, Lawrences at the time might have kept all the families stronger. 
    • shoot...he said in that Locher room with Krista. I think he met her before that---she was doing Broadway and they had mutual friends or an agent maybe?
    • Yes. And I assume he met Mary Ellen Stuart at GL.
    • That's an odd coincidence. Yeah, Roger would turn anything he could to his advantage. At the time, he's just taking the pictures to bank leverage over Reva, Billy or the Lewises.  I'm kinda squeamish about 1986 episodes myself. I'd love to hear the original version of Ross/Vanessa/Dinah, but the Cain story is bad, and I don't want Billy and Vanessa to break up.
    • Eeek. I didn't know this either! I will say, though, even though they skimmed over a lot of Roger's past, I will give them props for not trying to turn him into a hero. Yeah, I was hoping we would get more 1986 episodes than were available on YT before, but now I'm wondering if I really want to see that. 
    • That's what Julie Hanan Carruthers is doing for BTG at the new studio in Atlanta, but JHC is credited. And @errol said JHC is working in a nonproduction capacity at Y&R.
    • I remember when the whole Missy Reeves controversy started in 2012.  She tweeted support of a business that had made homophobic statements. Greg Rikaart (who was on Y&R back then) publicly called her out on it, but was willing to reach out and speak with her. Article here: https://greginhollywood.com/greg-rikaart-talks-about-his-twitter-war-with-fellow-soap-star-melissa-reeves-over-anti-gay-chick-fil-a-73139 That being said, ten years later, on DAYS, in 2022, when they had they double wedding of Leo/CraigWesley and Gwen/Xander, Jack and Jennifer came to the wedding.  At that time, Missy Reeves was only intermittently available for DAYS. Jennifer was living "in Boston" and Cady McClain and Missy were each intermittently appearing as Jennifer, on the specific occasions when the show required a Jennifer to appear. Missy wasn't on contract and she could have said no. But she chose to appear as Jennifer for the gay wedding of Greg Rikaart's character.   So... I mean... I would assume they reached a détente behind-the-scenes. Missy still has her belief system but there's that.
