*waits for SON staffer to come in and point out that this was reported a few days ago *

Some fans may remember that this actress is actually the second one to play Cara and Griffin's mom as the character was featured in one of the online Castillo prequels.

I mean, I don't see how why this is necessary. She is obviously not going to become a love interest of anyone and will remain recurring. So...just leave her off screen. Just my opinion.

I agree.

If they were set on doing this then maybe they should have cast someone who could have been a love interest for Tad. That would have added more complications to the Tad/Cara/Jake/Amanda thing.

Soap Hoppers: The Soap Actors And Roles Thread

@slick jones Thanks for all you've shared lately and updating Jed.
Roark and Billy - both such stunning men. I did not remember that Billy was in that ill-fated Sopranos prequel. Paulie should never be that hot.
Jeff Eagle passed away in November 2025. He had parts on DAYS and Dynasty. I wasn't sure if you knew or not for any files you have as he wasn't exactly a big name in the mainstream - I saw it mentioned on Rialto Report as he was a '70s porn stalwart under the name Jeffrey Hurst. They also had a number of nice headshots of him. That site is NSFW so if you don't want to go there and ever need any I think several are also available through Google image search.

ALL: Sexiest men on soaps

How could I have forgotten a young Michael E Knight? I was crazy for him when I was a teen.

Spin-offs only really work when they're not just an extension of the mothership. Early on it just seemed like Port Charles was General Hospital Pt II, so essentially an attempt at a 30 minute extension without directly tagging it onto the mothership (as AW had shown, that experiment didn't end up well). You could argue something like The Bold and the Beautiful is a de facto spin-off from The Young and the Resless, even down to similarish names. But still different enough to be interesting to be separate entities.

A little boring 😂
But I have to say that GH is still the best soap of 2026, so far

I recall reading that, during RKK's first stint on Another World as Sam Fowler, he threw a chair at Sandra Ferguson (Amanda), and that is why Charles Grant's Evan Bates and Amanda started their affair, as she no longer wanted to work with him (RKK, obviously!). Gee, I can't imagine why!
Which makes me disgusted that RKK continued to get roles after s.hit like this.

Another World Discussion Thread

Well, Rachel was on the show from 1967-1999, a total of 32 years.
Aunt Liz appeared 1964-71, 1974-1986, late 1987-1993, and then for a few months in 1994. If you add up the years in which she appeared, it would be 26.
Ada, was on the canvas from 1967 to 1992, or 25 years.
Those are AW's three longest running characters, and Rachel has Liz and Ada beat.🙂

Yeah, I 110% believe Lisa on this. There's been stories about RKK from both DOOL and Another World. I don't think it's a coincidence he got the boot once Kristian Alfonso got back - she definitively would've had the power to get him fired pronto. It's a shame from a story perspective, because as I said it took away any question who Bo would end up with.
But of course, his abusive ass deserved to get booted. It's just a shame it didn't happen earlier to maybe establish something between Lisa and Peter Reckell before Kristian made her comeback as Hope.

They definitively could play a bit with perspectives on these small sets instead of having the background lead directly out to a balcony (which is never used anyway). Then again, I suspect the reason they do these "box" apartment sets is because they're just easier to redress and re-use which they obviously have to do (ironically, I think Beyond the Gates have the opposite issue where they've done somewhat unique living spaces, but it makes them harder to re-dress for other purposes).
