Plus, Ms Zeman was in a front burner coupling with Rick Springfield on GH so that could be another reason why she would get a mention when she passed.

As others have said... Susan Lucci, Diedre Hall, Anthony Geary, Genie Francis, and probably Eric Braedon will get mention if any of them pass away.  It's all because all of them were known outside the soap world.

Not to belabor the point, but it is CBS Sunday Morning, and not exactly catering to the young and hip demographic. I don't think it would be asking a lot to acknowledge the passing of stars that appeared on their network. They are airing the Daytime Emmys again this year (or at least were until the writer's strike, which I assume leaves it up in the air), so they might give half a crap about the soap audience.

While acknowledging her passing was nice, I sarcastically wonder if it would have happened had she passed away on Monday, as opposed to late Wednesday/Thursday.

That is so heartbreaking to watch.  Elizabeth Hubbard did the right thing by paying into a long-term care policy that she'd hoped would relieve of her son of some of the burden of taking care of her in her final days.  It's just a shame that the bureaucracies that continue to cripple our country's health care industry undermined all that careful and smart planning.

Also, if I had my druthers, soaps would be putting a spotlight on these and other real, timely issues today instead of inundating us with more WTD stories.

That was a gut punch. As they mentioned in the story, so few can even afford that type of policy, and in spite of her years of planning, they still made sure she couldn't access the money she had paid in. Spending her last months guilt-ridden and frightened, on top of her terminal illness, is just wrong.

    • I preferred the Devil spawn delivery of the previous Rachel. She felt like the perfect child of Kristen DiMera and all the dysfunction she’s been through. The new actress is just a sweet girl.
    • I just read a new post where PersonB was quoting personA and I wanted to comment on the post so I started to quote ... with  I myself as the PersonC. I tried to quote what PersonB quoted from PersonA.  It should have been attributed to PersonA, but before submitting the post, I checked to see how it would display, and it automatically misatributed PersonA's words to PersonB.  So I didn't click to submit the post. So yes this is an ongoing glitch. I will need to take the time to go back and find the original post from PersonA to quote that.

    • I think the story in theory is good.  I don't believe Brook Lynn, Lois, and Dante are the right characters for this.  It becomes wild retcon on top of wild retcon. We watched AL's Brook Lynn talk about losing her virginity to Diego.  Dante and BLQ had multiple conversations about them always being friends.  Dante told Lulu nothing ever happened between him and Brook Lynn.  We saw Cody and Brook Lynn meet on the show.  There was no indication they knew one another previously.  Brook Lynn faked an entire pregnancy for Maxie and wasn't triggered at all by her previous pregnancy?  Brook Lynn never once questioned Gio's existence and her family's obsessiveness over him?  I mean, that fact was added like a month ago, but c'mon, Brook Lynn's not that dumb. Am I enjoying the fallout of this story? Yes, but you practically have to throw out everything you knew about Lois, BLQ, and Dante to make it work and that is annoying to me. With Setton in the role we've already lost Brook Lynn's unique style, edge and her singing talent.  Brook Lynn's basically become an entirely different character and not in a good way.
    • The recast really tanked the character.  I was team Sophia when Madelyn Kientz played her.  I liked her more than Holly.  Now Sophia just walks around on the verge of tears looking meek and scared.  I think now that the show has recast and aged Ari, Sophia is probably on her way out.
