Just watched the HBO doco 'Rock Hudson All That Heaven Allowed' and in addition to Frances Reid popping up in the first few minutes in a scene from 'Seconds' Howard McGillan (ex Greg Y&R) talked about being cast as Rock's son in the miniseries 'Wheels' and how the revelation that Rock was gay and had AIDS kept him in the closet for years.

LOL. Another Leo!!

Please register in order to view this content

Peter Porte is going to have the chance to play an entirely different kind of Leo love story! The actor, who’s no stranger to Hallmark movies, will be headlining their latest fall fare in Notes of Autumn with Ashley Williams, Marcus Rosner and Luke Macfarlane. Williams and Macfarlane play two friends living in very different parts of the world who decide to swap places as autumn settles in to get a little change of scenery.

 

Williams’ Ellie moves to the country on the outskirts of British Columbia and meets neighbor Sam (played by Rosner), while Macfarlane’s — wait for it — Leo moves to the city and meets Ellie’s friend, Matt, played by Porte.

Friendships soon blossom between the pairs and, it sounds like, something more. “This is,” as executive producer Debbie Gibson puts it, “a special story that celebrates how love can blossom in the most unexpected ways.”  So get ready, because it looks like Porte’s going to be falling for a Leo once again!

So get your pumpkin spiced coffees ready and grab a cozy blanket because Notes of Autumn debuts on Saturday, September 15 at 8 PM! Let’s just hope that this Leo comes with a bit less drama than Days of Our Lives‘!

I thought Luke Macfarlane said he was done with Hallmark movies. I guess at least gets to play gay now, and isn't working with Billy Eichner.

I hope Candace Cameron is stuck on a flight that is playing this movie on a loop for 12 hours.

Thanks. I didn't even know she'd been on GH, then or now. She and Grace Philips interacted for such a short time on OLTL yet they're still good friends now. That's something. I'm glad they talked with her so much about the Daisy Awards and trying to treat soaps with respect (something many in the genre now don't seem to care about).

It's such an odd role, this art thief?/crime boss or whatever. Frank clearly keeps it coming back because of their friendship and her OLTL stardom. To hear tell he's bringing back Patrick Gibbons (little Sam Manning) as that Boy Scout character for the umpteenth time and yet more scenes with Roger Howarth when Gibbons, bless him, was adorable as a tot but is not much of an actor as a teen is a whole other can of worms.

Is Jessica Tuck coming back? This article says its from 2019. 

Alexandra Shipp (ex-Marybeth, ¨Days of our Lives¨) was in the ¨Barbie" movie. I know Shipp is better known for other roles, but she appeared on ¨Days¨ during Tomsell´s run as Paige´s friend and talk-to. As I recall, her character wasn´t the biggest fan of J.J., who was in his rebellious stage still. Marybeth wasn´t a well developed role which is a shame because Shipp had more charm than True O´Brien. When Shipp left, I think to do an Aaliyah biopic, her role was replaced by Alisha Boe´s Daphne.

    • FROM THE VAULT: WEEKLY DAYTIME NIELSEN RATINGS: WEEKS OF 12/10/73-12/14/73 & 12/17/73-12/21/73:  

      Please register in order to view this content

      FAST WEEKLY WEEK OF 12/24/73-12/28/73 NOT AVAILABLE (Note: Per newspaper listings, the only scheduled preemptions were 12/25/73 for Dinah's Place and Baffle (preempted by Christmas Service from Washington National Cathedral). All other daytime shows were scheduled to air every day this week). That's a wrap for 1973!  Coming next are the 1973 specials, the spot checks of the 1973 non-soap daytime shows and a look at the 1973 Saturday & Sunday morning/afternoon series. 
    • KMH was annoying AF as Emily or as I call her "Emiloon" that screech crying yikes, so bad
    • spoiler alert AMC...   Ha..this is one of those storylines, much like the Salem Stalker...and whatever Alex was supposed to be holding over Alan's head that Henry knew about...what was the original intention of the through line..who is Mary Bauer and why does Meta know Zach (I know what Zach is supposed to be but was he human before...is Chele a reincarnation of Mary? )Eventually was he supposed to become human? Why is he so dull if he who is supposed to be...but it does make sense on why he is so sexless.  Of course, what the hell was the burial ground storyline of Qualo..it was like they were trying to reenact the 80s with that  temple storyline Marland gave them...would have been more interesting to have Stacy come back with "return from the dead" Silas Crocker in disguise as an older lover.  McTavish is at loose threads here and you can tell she just does not give a damn anymore.  A great idea is hidden in the whole Roger/Dinah/Hart mess....Roger having a midlife crisis and breakdown would have been good...being confronted with all of his misdeeds, the two rapes, and also his murders (the show always likes to forget that he pushed a woman down the stairs and had to have killed people in the CIA.) Maybe something he does accidentally causes Holly to miscarry, and then he does something again accidnetly to hurt Hart so he thinks he killed him.

    • OMG! Not Lily vs Phyllis with Amanda giving the sip tea look!  The Dru came out in Lily!!! lol.
    • I remember, for their wedding, TPTB pulled out the old Stewart patio which had not been seen for years (and was not seen again). But during the 1960s, Ellen and David's patio was seen somewhat often during the summer months.  
    • OMG! Yes!! Best of the episode and double so after my rewatch. She got Anita ALL...THE...WAY...TOGETHER. I can't wait to get caught up and see Sharon.   Now you.  re: Samantha.   Same. I was so annoyed with Month 2 for stalling on Martin's Secret, but in hindsight...that was perfect because I got used to their characters and their lives so NOW I feel so much more invested when the Secret comes out. And how it's been done as a slow burn during May Sweeps with Bill toying with them keeps Bill in villain mode while giving organic conflict for Martin and Smitty due to what's been written for them building up to this month. Bonus...it's clear the actors are soooo much more comfortable with each other.    The one thing that I looove about Vernon is that while that is very much true what you said...when need be...he shows very brief moments of an edge. CHOOSE SILENCE...like BE STILL...lives rent free in my head. lol. I can't wait to use that on someone.  You wouldn't be alone in that. While not perfect...and haters are going to hate...if you get enjoyment even with flaws, why does anyone have an issue with Pollyanna? I see people are enjoying GH, and I have well documented reasons for liking and disliking it. And I don't at all hate on everyone who have been enjoying it and regularly watch it. It's like seeing a tweet you don't like on the Twitter. You see it, have no need to add to it, and keep scrolling.  Same. But tbf...is ANYONE screaming that now...or just naturally liking the show?  Same. But I am a sucker for bangs.  
    • The last thing I want on a new soap -- or on any soap -- is an actor thinking she's a kid in a candy store. I know Cady has plenty of fans, but I'm just not fond at all of all these accents (and accent changes) and tics. The show should INSIST she settle on a consistent character for Pamela -- now. The idea that these established soap actors get to play around like it's a game is bizarre. I don't like what she's doing at all, and the fact that I can't tell you what she's doing makes it even worse.   The hour does fly by, and I do enjoy the show. I'm no longer on a high with the show and screaming "I love this show!" though. That's not a bad thing. We can't forget we're still in the first 6 months and every soap had to deal with first-year struggles and changes. I'm willing to give GATES time on all of it. In the meantime, though, I have to call out the stuff that isn't working. Yo're exactly right about the editing. Those "sudden drop offs to commercial"? I hate them. I think they're awful and poorly executed in all phases -- the timing, the music, the fade itself. I have no idea what they're doing. I've said this before: I think it's intentional. It's not just one director, and it's clearly a production choice. I think they want to be "the different soap." Sorry, this ain't the place to do that. They have not only ruined scene endings galore with these fades, but they have ruined cliffhangers. Ending a show with something dramatic followed by an "Oh, well" fade makes no sense to me.
    • I'll say this much...for the most part...soaps WERE giving this Sweeps...LOL. I'm looking at you, BTG, DAYS, and YES GH.

          But knowing that, I really want to know...especially since I'm behind on at least two of those soaps lol due to work and faulty technology...how would you all grade May Sweeps this time?   A     B     C     D     F       To paraphrase Dani Dupree...the hottest level of Hades...?   How did you like Sweeps?    
    • 5-26   My system went down, but thankfully is back up. It's a shame that if I missed something, I just don't care. So May Sleeps indeed. smh.    That said...I found this episode intriguing. Yeah, it had a LOT of the characters that I didn't care about. And I know @slick jones probably glared seeing his man around that girl,

       but I will give credit where it's due.    It must be a sign there is about to FINALLY be story movement when we start to get artistic camera angles again...something that has been absent for a while. The overhead sweeping into the scene at the start of the episode? LOVE. Good to see Ed Scott is still around somewhere. And I loved what Phyllis had on and Amanda in the red. Claire continued to have her own style and Holden continued to look hot. And I continue to be in awe that the designer is trying her darnest to get Kyle from looking so stuffy but still keep him suited.    Everything Audra continued to intrigue. And I continue to feel that Kyle is totally going to fall into her trap because he is much too cocky. Holden is a great wild card, but I don't like him hinting that perhaps Audra actually have feelings for Kyle. THAT boat has sailed and would have been better used when Summer was around. Besides I love Audra with Nate.   Phyllis vs Sally will always be awesome. And they were both giving great lines.    I could care less for Billy.
