LOL who knew when you first posted that that this would end up generating a thread of its own?
https://boards.soapoperanetwork.com/topic/62384-eric-braeden-drags-eva-longoria-for-her-comments-about-working-in-daytime/

The transcript of her interview (the full interview) is now available, I'll post the link on that thread.

Sunday March 26, 2023,
Lifetime Movie Network will air five of Lauralee Bell's Lifetime movies.
She will also host (take over) the LMN instagram for the day.
(This is timed to coincide with YR 50th, but not related to YR).

This is wild. For AMC, to put it in context, Kelly would have had TWO contract renewals before Mark made the scene. That means even with two raises, she was making less than him? It’s not like Mark was a known talent. Was she that underpaid, or was Mark a better negotiator?

Her treatment at Regis was egregious. I get why she was afraid to rock the boat when Regis was there, and even more so when he left because she was not the established a-name. 
 

Kelly worked hard and navigated so many HR nightmares. She deserves her success.

I would argue that Kelly was more than established as a household name by the time Regis left. Do I think they could've fired her anyway? Yes. But it's egregious any way you look at it. She'd been with the network since 1990, she'd done years of Live as well as Hope and Faith, and they were still treating her like that.

Kelly Ripa probably got screwed with salary at AMC as she started with a low starting rate, and then they said she could only get a certain percentage more per contract renewal, which happened to more then one ABC actor back in those days. Mark starting 5 years later and his first salary being more is crazy, though i wonder if the base scale rate changed within that time frame causing even more inequality beyond the sexism.

There are some actors that I can only reference from their soap roles. I assume from this that Peyton List has gone on to great success, but she'll always be Lucy Montgomery to me.

    • The first time I cried from a soap, Zane's death. I cried for 3 days.
    • Very happy to see GH hit #1 on Hulu! The show's been on fire and deserves the added eyeballs.
    • I really appreciated all the movement in today's episode.  It resonated with me that it felt like the sort of nervous energy that can surround a family after death. I want to point out the EJ scene.  I was riveted by his multi-layered performance. When he told Belle that he went to her because he loved her, and then saw that she was embarrassed by him, and rejected the part of her that was attracted to him.  It started to make even more sense why he would try to protect Johnny (who I still don't think shot him).  EJ feels like a pariah (although TBH, it wouldn't have hurt to bring Marlena some of that tea that everyone had been promising her all morning).  And he doesn't want to pass that along to his son by exposing him as the shooter.  It is interesting that we see none of those same concern between Kristen and lil'Rachel. 
    • -- What a stupid party. Devon and Abby leave while Victor goes upstairs to the GCAC bar and talks with Kyle. Then we see Jack giving Nikki ANOTHER birthday toast as if the party has just begun. Huh??? -- This party perfectly encapsulates sweeps month for this show: lame, deadly, boring af. -- Once again, Cole gets really sick and no one insists on an ambulance or the ER. They really want him dead, don't they? Instead we hear multiple characters say "Gee, I hope Victoria doesn't catch it." Cole will be dead before Dumas. -- Kyle is really offering to make a contract with Victor so he can continue to see Claire? Jesus Wept. -- And then the shoe ends with Victor praising Nikki for softening his heart over the years -- after we've seen him treat Kyle, Michael, and Jack like sh_it for days.  
    • Your welcome! Will never understand the point of Budig! I forget she’s there 95% of the time and Thudley does too! 
    • I do think Zane could have been a decent long-term addition if they hadn't disposed of him - up to Lucas' arrival, at least.
    • It is 4 feet!!! https://www.hulu.com/hub/tv/collections/9979 Today, GH, I am amazed. #1 Up from #2 on Saturday, which was up from #4 during the week last week.

    • If he was responsible for Egyptian dust, you should have led with that! That one thing cinches it for me.
    • I would consider recasting Nikolas again just for the sake of those around him, but you may be right.
    • Watched Mondays episode, wow! That’s all I have to say. It was heartbreaking to watch. You really don’t know how invested you are in these characters until moments like this. Deidre was absolutely phenomenal in that whole episode, as I am sure she will be in the coming weeks. I was a bit torn about having Bo and Hope being the contrast in this episode, but I understand why they did it. And when Bo woke up and said fancy face to Hope, it broke me even more! Honestly, there are no more words except bravo to everyone involved and RIP to the greatest hero that ever existed in soaps John Black
