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.

    • This is a effin shame. Eff Trump and eff the bastards that enable him.
    • I 100% agree but I think this is due to how the show is structured. It's a one family show which means there are no people in her age range that could be used as friends or contemporaries of her. The show definitely needs a second main family. I am glad someone finally said this. Especially now that the cast is gelling in their roles, he stands out like a sore thumb. No energy, no chemistry with anybody. He is just there.  I thought that was odd as well! The previous scene would've worked better as a tag for the credits.
    • That's the one and only Carrie Nye (Mrs. Dick Cavett) as Susan Piper, a deadly realtor. I don't want to spoil a lot if you ever want to see those episodes. She returns as another character in 2003. I think Grant has aged well and he always did a good job at being ripped without going too far, but he was never entirely my cup of tea either. I did think John Bolger was hot.
    • Totally agree. KKL looks great! It makes the Widge groveling so bizarre. Brooke needs to leave FC and with $B's/Liam's funding launch a rival fashion house with Hope, Rick, Katie and a secret designer. The best scenario is that Rick has been absent because he's been with very much alive C2, who is revealed on the runway as the secret designer. It'll never happen because B&B is comfortable just focusing on FC and the Forresters Marones v. Logans. But it'd been so much more interesting if the Spencers/Logans united.

    • Haha that scarf thing did go on a bit too long, very odd. And what a young Rick!  I know this is an unpopular opinion, but I just never got the physical appeal of Grant Aleksander, but he's definitely a great actor. Who is the older lady around the 8:30 mark, and also ends the episode, alone and in pain? She seems like a really interesting character. I love the smoky voice and sultry, snaky vibe she seems to have.
    • I can't remember exactly but I think she lives in or is part of the cottage story with Carrie. Carrie poisons her in this episode.  I forgot Teresa was on the show. (I see that AI is insisting she wasn't - well they're wrong) Poor Maeve. I can how even she had her limits. 
    • It pisses me off that the other Duprees are making this incident all about them as well. They are playing a family of victims, acting as if Ted cheated on all of them. They should be supportive, but not like this. I have a family that makes anything that happens to me personally all about them, and seeing the same thing on TV is rage-inducing.
    • There are the makings of good Emmy reels in these past couple of episodes, but the industry is still going to favor even the most mediocre stories and performances on the older soaps. And with the pressure from the government over race I can see the academy shutting out Beyond The Gates to avoid criticism from the administration and the far right media.
    • oh, definitely! It's too bad she hit the start of a rough transition period for the show. She shines, but she's stuck with bad story and some (if not exactly bad) not great co-stars.  Uh, who did Maureen O'Sullivan play? (Sigh--and only if I'd understood exactly who and how wonderful Teresa Wright was in '86) God, the summer of '84 was literally one event after another. Kim's outfit alone must've been worth a small fortune. And poor Maeve. She looks so uncomfortable. Rebecca Hollen told a story on Locher Room where Maeve dropped the f-bomb during the shooting of it. For some reason, she wasn't being listened to, and had just had enough. As a producer, I would've been holding my breath as my pregnant actress kept walking around strange and undoubtably uneven sets in that long skirt.
