Y&R: ATWT alum joins

[BetterForgotten]

The writing for the character will most certainly be trash (it’s hard to have any type of expectation for Y&R or any soap these days) but I am happy for Colleen and I am glad she’s getting this opportunity over some c-list primetime star from the 80’s.

Is the show getting farther ahead? Colleen says she started back in August.

Remember they moved this summer to their new studio. Maybe they taped extra episodes before the move? Colleen would've started taping at their new studios. The show is about 10 weeks ahead give or take.

They must have blown the budget with those leaves swirling around the GCAC.

[Errol]

Didn't read the context of what Colleen said yet, but she could have meant they hired and/or informed her of the role in August although she didn't start filming until later. For instance, J. Eddie Peck filmed in October, I believe, and I expect him to air on November 22.

[Errol]

Where was this reported that they moved? Unless JPI is just lazy, photos from episodes taped in October have them still at Television City. In fact, J. Eddie Peck did a photo shoot from there last month outside the studio.

There was no context to what Colleen said in the soaps.com(soaps.sheknows) interview.  It could have been interpreted either that she started taping in August, or that she began discussing it in August.  It was unclear.

But NEW article out this morning (Nov. 20) on SOD website:
She got an email from JG in early August, and phoned him within 15 minutes.  But she specified that "Jordan is pretty intense. I’ve been playing her for five-and-a-half weeks".

In that new SOD interview, she says she lives in Florida, but hasn't been back since she started taping at Y&R.  She brought her dogs with her to L.A.  She will be in Florida at Christmas (but did NOT say when/if she finishes at Y&R).  

She says she has a daughter in L.A. so she told Maura West she was in L.A. to see her daughter. She couldn't spill that she was on Y&R until now.

Y&R is still at 7800 Beverly Blvd and they are not taping 10 weeks ahead. 

[janea4old]

Agree. We posted at the same time.  Colleen clarifies the timing in SOD, see my post just above yours.

Also she said in that SOD interview that she's been trying to learn how to navigate her way around the CBS studios building.  Plus lots of Y&R and B&B cast continue to post pics of themselves inside and outside the CBS studios building.

Were they not moving with TPIR? I thought all CBS shows were moving to Glendale.

[Errol]

No. Only "The Price is Right" moved from Television City so far. Fremantle, which owns both it and "Let's Make a Deal" has a studio in Glendale which they moved both shows into. The soaps have not announced their plans for moving as yet. It's possible the move will happen in 2024 though.

[Soapsuds]

Colleen says Josh was around during Barbara's time on the dark side on ATWT. I think he was a SW. And that's why she got the call and role from Josh.

Thanks! This song is a lot better than the usual cheap-for-license songs they use.
