I know an Esme in real life too.  I actually know a 30 year Gladys (it was a family name and she goes by Grace), but these names exist.  I don't think I ever met a Brando though.  It does sort of track for someone in Sonny's family to be named after a Godfather actor though.

I know a Brandon but no Brando. I've heard of Gladys before but I've never known one.

I tried watching GH again but there are so many unfamiliar faces that I didn't even bother.

According to SOD, baby Liam has no brain activity. Nothing says happy holidays like a brain dead newborn. 

Lord! I mean, I don't care or know anything about Brando or Sasha, but still.

I have no investment in the characters individually or together, and the baby is pointless and obviously only exists because the actress was pregnant, but yeah, jeez. Poor Sofia Mattsson is a new mom to a baby boy and has to play this storyline. 

Oh, that's awful. I remember when that happened on OLTL.

I very distinctly remember - not distinctly enough to remember who unfortunately - a soap actress who had just given birth to a baby refusing to play a dramatic storyline involving the loss of the baby when she came back or something. Maybe she even quit? Does this ring a bell to anyone?

This must feel odd but I imagine it is probably worse the other way around. Imagine your real-life pregnancy being written in and then you lose the baby and you either have to play the entire pregnancy to the end or play yourself losing the baby like you did in real life. Awful.

I recall that when Katey Sagal's baby was tragically stillborn, Married with Children just turned all the entire pregnancy storyline episodes into a dream sequence so she wouldn't have to have to deal with anything having to do with it once she came back.
