I'm impressed at the actors who are willing to be in these Twitter photos, clearly with little makeup, and in extreme closeup at some points. It's impossible to not look like death much of the time in those situations. I was surprised at how good Thorsten Kaye looked, actually.

I don't think most people on Twitter come across as "fools," and certainly not any of the AMC cast.

My reactions to today ...

Glad to see all the happy, familiar faces in the photos! Glad to see tweets continuing to be enthusiastic (except for Eden Riegel's weird one about not recognizing anyone and no one recognizing her -- really?). Liked reading Dan Kroll's tweets from his talking to various actors. Glad they are all grateful to the fans. I am so glad the shows are back, not only for us but for them too. The live tweets from today's shoot are another reason why it's good there's Twitter. Back in the day, we would be waiting forever for news even from a big event like this, and that news would be "spun" by the people who released it.

Nudity? Yuck. Contrary to popular belief, most soap fans do not watch for skin show.

Well so this is the full cast list. Glad Ray MacDonnell is contract! More random new characters - bleh. Did not know Francesca James used to play a character back in the day on AMC. I just remember her name from directing/producing roles.

Angela, I think commercial experience counts as acting experience when it makes enough of an impact that you gain a following from it. LOL at your semi-dig, I did go through the whole thread so I did see it, hehe. smile.png

Jerry verDorn and Jordi Vilasuso picture made me think GL reunion. Glad to see Jordi seemingly becoming more popular among AMC fans now. A little bit of the legacy of Guiding Light lives on. Jordi and Jill Larson continue to be the main source for news and pics so far. Who knew this "PaosRevolution" thing would actually matter so much a few months ago?

Soapcentral says that Francesca's character, Evelyn, will be the "headmistress of a girls' school"

Is Miranda going to be attending an all girls school? Interesting if true but I was looking more forward to Pine Valley High....maybe they're going to tell Miranda's story at the girls school and AJ's at PV High? And eventually Miranda will leave the girls school? Man, who the hell knows. LOL. Interesting indeed though.

Does anyone have any video of when Eric Nelsen was on GL as Kevin? I can't remember it. I wonder if he knows that he was in the same room as Kevin's dad Ross for the photo shoot on Wednesday - Jerry verDorn was off the show by the time Eric Nelsen made his appearance or appearances.

Interesting news about the girls' school. I was looking forward to all the teen characters being at the same school too.

I think people have commented on JV's "real" age ever since Guiding Light. Maybe he just always looks older (though he's a year younger than me--I would have thought at least mid 30s)

As for Ray--I think he ooks great considering his age--and I don't think he looks much older than when we last saw him--that candid shot there is done with a horrible flash and shows off all the lines more.

Yeah, I think he still looks about the same. David Canary seems to have aged more. But they both still look healthy and happy, and I'm glad they are back on the show!

I don't care about the headmistress's big secret, although I think it is likely tied into the show's past in some way. It already sounds like something that's supposed to be good/impressive but will fall flat. I am beginning to fear what these Marlene McPherson "using history" stories are going to be like, after her reputation on Days. I would rather a "big secret" driving story be coming from an underused but emotionally rich character who is established on the show already, such as Opal, who I care about.

      Yes, I forgot there was a gap between his exit from GL and his start at ATWT. This almost makes me want to cry. He really turned ATWT around (and good for them). It would have been great if someone had done the same for GL. Can't imagine who. The Dobsons were doing Santa Barbara at this point. I mainly blame Kobe. She may not have been the worst EP they ever had, but she almost totally destroyed the Bauers and decimated much of the rest of the cast, sometimes for egotistical reasons. That was a huge mistake and made it that much harder for the show to recover.

      Douglas Marland began at As the World Turns in September 1985 but it took about a year for his run to show growth in the ratings. 1986 As the World Turns becomes CBS's #2 daytime drama after Y&R.

      This is not at all surprising. Watching the recently uploaded episodes, the uneveness is SO apparent. Characters are changing at the drop of a hat. The stories are close to incoherent. It's a mess, and we're only up to May. What a fall from grace. An Emmy-winning show with good ratings and within a few short years hitting possible cancelation territory.  I'm surprised CBS and/or P&G didn't try to do SOMETHING to restore its former glory. Was Marland still at ATWT at this point?

      I think she did, yes. The only part of that return I remember appreciating was the ripoff they did of Earrings of Madame De, where a secretly broke India sold a trinket and Ross or Alan (I think it was Ross) then bought it for her, not knowing it was hers.

      BTG: June 2025 Discussion Thread

      6-4   Getting around to the rewatching and I guess Dani/Bill/Hayley as A story is coming around better to me. I hope that means that I will feel different about Friday's episode which first time around I felt was more of a Wednesday/Thursday episode. Anita's story and Dani/Bill/Hayley (with Kat vs SilkPress being a solid B plot to keep the SilkPress storyline alive, but NOT A story) have been the focus for this past week. So I'm worried I'll feel a way when I get back to Friday's episode. I guess I'm about to find out.   I know I have issues with Dani/Bill/Hayley coming back into focus since the much better paced SilkPress storyline is truly where it's at with so much aftermath/new direction to explore. However, I'm finding that...just like with the story of Martin's secret being slowly woven back into the story narrative...I care a little bit more for it since it's been background since Week 3, Month 1. IMHO the characters...outside of Hayley...have been developed in other plots. The past week and a half has had Dani and Andre growing closer and they have gotten to the 'third month what are we?' talk that I expect in all relationships in real life. And I liked how the writers have slowly had friction between them to see what they are made of? Is it still just a booty call or can it be more? Meanwhile, Bill has been hiding his physical issues for months. Too busy messing with other people's marriages.

          So now that they have some more POV to them, it was good to see an organic...and yes, it was organic...reason for them to be in the same room. In this case...the hospital room. Lord, Karla and Timon have such great chemistry. And Dani and Bill were so acting like exes. No wonder Hayley feels threatened. Oh, well. lol. Bonus...the drama with Bill has Hayley and Naomi back in each other's orbit. They don't have enough scenes together.    You all know I was waiting for Anita's story. So how am I feeling? Pretty good. TT has been playing it to the hilt. And I was not expecting the story of a fourth member who killed themselves after being pushed out. And it's had a build. First through Tracy. And now with Sharon...who is swiftly being established as a piece of work. A Have-Not (if not Has-Been) who is not above scheming. Okay. lol. I liked the conversation between Anita and Vernon where she told him the truth, and he tried to hold her up. Whether she deserved it or not, it was good to see. I'm sure all of the secrets are not out yet so I look forward to more. Cuz we know they are not cancelling the reunion. Which fingers crossed...will be at the police fundraiser.     Honestly, I continued to be impressed with how the writers have kept Silk Press Sheila out of jail, but still playing the beats of it all. She's definitely in covering her tracks mode, and it's great to watch. It's also great to see her mixing it up with different characters. I was happy to get the long-awaited showdown between her and Nosy Nurse and Nosy Nurse READ...HER...DOWN. I was just disappointed Nosy Nurse spilled some tea. And that led to SilkPress's scene with Andre. And then Andre...lord...talked too much.   C plot this episode has been Chelesa's love life. I was wondering where it was going to go after her talk with Vernon. Enter...Mystery Woman. I wonder what her secret would be that would get in her way with Chels. Related to an enemy of the Duprees? Married? I am intrigued. And I do like Chelesa getting the spotlight because daytime does not really do it like how they are doing it with her.    Can Kat and Jacob get a spinoff? lol.

      1986 began with the EP change from Gail Kobe to Joe Willmore and the HW change from Pamela Long to Jeff Ryder. Over the course of 1986 there was turnover in the HW ranks: Jeff Ryder, Jeff Ryder and Mary Ryan Munisteri as co-HWs, Mary Ryan Munisteri and Ellen Barrett as co-HWs, Joseph Manetta, Joseph Manetta and Sheri Anderson as co-HWs. The 1986 ratings reflected the quality of the show. GL was saved from cancel territory in 1986 because Capitol was still CBS's lowest-rated daytime drama.

      As Michael should be...DARK.   I'm just getting through my first few scenes of Rory as Michael. And I'm already picking up chemistry with LW, EMcCoy, and SMattson from the jump. I liked Rory as Noah on Y&R, but felt it was wasted potential. So far...he's proving me right.

      Is it supposed to be romantic that Victor and Kyle are using Claire as some sort of contractual agreement? Ridiculous. I was waiting for Claire to squirt water out of the huge flower on her dress. And within minutes of the Monday episode beginning the first mention of ...guess who???

      I haven't been able to watch GH lately, but I just saw this clip.  Wow.  Rory Gibson is so different from his time at Y&R.  This really speaks to the bad writing at Y&R I guess! A lot of fire here.
