This has two parts.

I didn't even know any news programs had a 'soap chat' segment in 2024. 

Amusing to see Rena have to skirt around the Gio question.

To me it looks like all of those scenes are from 1997, specifically the latter half of that year.  It sort of looks like Clink Boom is included, but I think it's actually from when Nikolas was shot outside Luke's in 1997.  This is just my non-scientific guess, but seeing Sarah/Liz, BW's AJ, no Sonny and Jax/Brenda it appears it's from summer of 1997 on, but I don't see any specific clips that jump out as 1998.

This is a quote I found while looking for something else. When I saw it, I thought it might be of interest here.

Russell, M. (1995). Days of Our Lives: A Complete History of the Long-Running Soap Opera. McFarland and Company, Publishers, Ltd. ISBN 0-7864-0112-5


"Many things have changed about daytime in the past 30 years, including the pace of the shows and lack of secrecy regarding story line. Many of the changes in writing are attributed to General Hospital and the faster-paced action plot that it introduced in the 1980s with Luke and Laura days. I knew it was a love story, we all knew it was a love story, but the world out there, the competitors thought it was because we did Luke and Laura on the run, the adventure. It was not. It was how they felt about one another. And so they missed the key element in it and then they started copying all the kookie things we did, which was a terrible mistake because Luke and Laura were about emotion not adventure." [This is Pat Falken Smith, one of the HWs of Luke & Laura, speaking.]

Luke and Laura are one of the few soap couples where I actually do think adventure suited them more than emotion. Emotion tended to turn to Tony Geary hamming it up and also reminded me that they never had as much chemistry as advertised...not to mention the rape aspect (which they did not mention for many years, and when they did, I wished they hadn't).

@dc11786 As you're around this time in your GH watch I thought this Cindi Rinehart recap might interest you. Around 14 minutes in Cindi talks with an audience member about the impending L&L return. The woman's extremely blunt, "I don't like Bill," tells you just why they wrote that character out.

And, of course, and it probably goes without saying, but he's chatting with the co-creator of Y&R and B&B and wife of none other than Bill Bell.

This seems to be Juttner's last acting credit. At about 8 minutes.

There's also a very fun bitchfest between Susan and Monica near the end of this clip. Monica wipes the floor with her.

Susan Moore walked right into that one when she invited Monica to lunch in the first place.  What on EARTH possessed that girl to do such a foolish thing anyway?  Did she really think she could get through to Monica?  Like, you'd have to be pretty [!@#$%^&*] stupid to think that meeting would've gone well.
