Shouldn't this be about Shannen? And of course you had to make Shannen's death about you. You don't like it if everything isn't about you. This is about Shannen. She fought a fight that has been admirable for years. And she never made it about her. Prayers to her family.

First - cancer survivors should never be shamed for sharing their stories. Second, I want to bring the attention to @Errol - we have a member obsessed with another member who now for close of a year has bored the whole board with constantly following that other member in topic after topic trying to ridicule and start an argument. At this point this is the most off-topic thing in here. Please take your personal vendetta OUT of a topic about a woman who DIED FROM CANCER. I know it will be hard, but try. Thanks.

What a tough, feisty lady, in the best sense of the words. She fought such a hard battle against breast cancer. I was in admiration of her courage and bravery. She will always be an absolute legend to me... and FYI I was always a Brenda fan! Lol. If you know you know.

I am definitely going to need a hug when it sinks in because it WILL be a doozy for me when it does.

 

I just woke up and wondered why people were tagging me, but I guess I know now. 

 

Outside of Vanessa Marcil's Brenda...the only other Brenda (and SCARY MOVIE's Brenda okay and URBAN LEGEND Bren) I acknowledge. Shannen was my Heather. She was my Brenda. And she was fierce AF as Prue on CHARMED. And she always acted. She was always a fighter. And I watched just about everything she was in growing up. There was just something about her eyes. How she could do a smile or a smirk. No matter if her characters made you want to shake her, she always came across as an underdog that you wanted to see win. My love of her knew no bounds. 

 

And watching her fight cancer these last few years, my heart went out for her. And yet she still kept going. And it was nice to see as she grew older, she was moving past a lot of the feuds that she was known. Older. Wiser. But still tough. 

 

I am just rumbling and fighting tears. With Shelly Duvull, Richard Simmons, Dr. Ruth, and now THIS...it's too much.

I knew when Shannen announced within the last few weeks that things weren't looking good and was starting chemo again that the end was sadly coming sooner rather then later.

She left a great mark with two iconic roles, a memorable supporting role in an iconic cult classic (Heathers), and always spoke up for herself even if it was at great risk to her job and career.  

Shelley Duvall was such a part of my childhood from watching Fairy Tale Theatre, Mother Goose Rock n Rhyme, and her attempt at adapting classic gothic novels into hour long anthology episodes (Nightmare Classic).  It wasn't until my teen and young adult years that I got see the other part of Shelley Duvall.. her 70s output was amazing (Her acting in 3 Women was flawless).

Richard Simmons.. Sweating to the oldies made exercise look fun and was an advocate for those struggling to lose weight.  An icon also gone too soon.

Dr Ruth... her advice show on Lifetime back in the day was one my late mom used to watch. 

 

RIP

      Good point about her doing different kinds of writing quite a lot & often. OLTL had success with a book plot, I think, Marcy wrote it. Possibly it was at a time when Michael Malone was HW there as he was a very successful novelist & also Professor of Lit at a small college.  And, of course, AW had Felicia Gallant as a very successful romance author & Mac's business empire was Cory Publishing.  I wonder if this won't be more like Katie on ATWT writing Oakdale Confidential, though. Sheer spec as I have zero clue what their plan is.

      Possibly.  I remember the "movie" being Jack/Jen, Bo/Carly, and John/Isabella centric.  I am assuming they are just recreating the idea of people/couples being brought together in a storm, which isn't very creative in the first place.  One Stormy Night was the worst of the 3 primetime movies too. Lol.  Fair.  Writing some press releases for her the two clients she has does not mean she can write what looked to be a 500 page novel. Stephanie spends 20 hours a day figuring out her love life anyway.

      One Stormy Night was the name of the January 1992 Days primetime episode. https://www.jason47.com/days/episodeguide1992.html From jason47 bio of Jeanne Marie Ford:  when I was in high school, my best friend got me hooked on 'Days.'  She first worked on the "Days" staff in 1992 as an unpaid intern and soon after became the show's writer's assistant from 1992-1996. https://www.jason47.com/days/writersinfo.html

      I have not been convinced any Stephanie since Shayna Rose can read.

      The throwback, and the randomness of it all has me worried that Jamey had something to do with it.

      As a PR person, she's undoubtedly written zillions of press releases and presentations, so I don't find it that much of a stretch. But it sure did come out of nowhere. I don't know if any soap has done particularly well with a book plot, though, so I'm apprehensive of where this will go.

      Reminder for Tues. May 6 and Wed. May 7: Due to UEFA European Soccer Champions League Semifinals  Y&R and B&B may be partially disrupted in some timezones, but it's not an official preemption. (Same procedure as Tues. April 29 and Wed. April 30.) This soccer coverage will be broadcast live in the European evenings, which is 3-5pm Eastern USA, plus a 2-3pm Eastern prematch show. Total timeframe: three hours 2-5pm EDT on those four dates. On CBS only. BeyondTheGates: This fully officially preempts BTG in all timezones in USA and Canada. Tues. April 29, Wed. April 30, Tues. May 6, and Wed. May 7. Link to official announcement from Errol/SON to share with friends/family: https://www.soapoperanetwork.com/2025/04/beyond-the-gates-cbs-uefa-champions-league-soccer-games Errol's discussion thread: https://boards.soapoperanetwork.com/topic/68729-article-‘beyond-the-gates’-to-be-fully-preempted-due-to-cbs-coverage-of-uefa-champions-league-soccer-games/ Y&R and B&B: On the affected dates, this will partially preempt Y&R and/or B&B on CBS only in Mountain/Pacific/Alaska timezones. Because Y&R and B&B air fully in Eastern/Central time, it's not an official preemption, and those shows will be considered to have aired --  so you'd need to watch on another time/channel or online, or you'd miss it. List of alternate times/channels for Y&R and B&B here: https://boards.soapoperanetwork.com/topic/68719-btg-yr-bb-april-may-2025-soccer-disrupting-cbs-soap-broadcasts/ Y&R and B&B will air normally in Canada and Australia in all timezones.
