Y&R/DAYS: actors make returns

[Dr Neil Curtis]

Ugh I hope not as that mess of Diana Colville

[1974mdp]

I thought SH was AMAZING as Patty on Y&R and could have had long-term potential to be a very complex character, but then they wrote her into a corner.

If Judith is back as Anjelica, who would you cast as the new Diana Colville?

I would go with Kim Johnston Ulrich.

Did Stafford take a shot at Ron there or are they good and she's just playing around? I seem to recall DC losing their minds blaming her and others for getting Ron fired at GH by going the network en masse. IIRC they specifically called out 'actors who Periscope,' an app Stafford used often at the time.

That was one screengrab of a joking conversation between Stafford and Carliviati on their instagram stories, each quoting her original video and adding comments to the quote.

Here is the full context in a series of screengrabs of reposted video:

Michelle Stafford hanging out with Greg Rikaart.
November 16, 2023.
 

I think Stafford was joking when she tagged Ron to say she was hanging out with Ron's actor as if she'd stolen him from Days, so then Ron jokingly replied that he would get on a plane from his home in New York to go to L.A. to bring Rikaart back to Days. They were just joking around.

When that ig stories conversation was noticed in November, I wondered if GR was taping again at Y&R or not.  It didn't look like the Y&R set, but Stafford made me wonder.  I had originally expected his Thanksgiving appearance on Y&R (which was taped in October) to be a onetime thing, but this made me wonder.

Now we know he was indeed taping Y&R in November for Christmas and/or New Year's Eve episode(s).

Fair enough - I guess they either made up or DC had it wrong to begin with.

I do wish Chapman would comeback as Angelica.  With everything with Victor's will and Alex, she would be a key part to this storyline.  Besides I'd love to see Angelica try to come between Justin and Bonnie, the way she did Justin and Adrienne.  

If they do bring back Diana Colville I wish it would be another actress.  Someone who is similar in appearance to Genie Francis.  Diana was an editor at the paper, maybe she could come back and battle Jack and Jennifer for the Spectator.

New Year's. I asked him on the red carpet, and he confirmed his appearance on Y&R.

[janea4old]

 

I suspected as much, since Chapman said she was appearing New Year's Eve.  And Eliz Hendrickson's attire seems slightly more NewYearsy than Christmassy in these pics.
That set of Y&R BTS photos from soapoperanews.net were labeled by them as "Holiday photos" but I think they are simply BTS photos of *actors on sets decorated for the holidays*.  Genoa City still has Christmas decor on New Year's Eve. 
So it seems that some of that set of pics are BTS for New Year's Eve, and some are BTS for Christmas, and some could be your generic Y&R business meeting in a restaurant, LOL.

Wrong thread.

With AnnaLynne McCord likely a recast for Abby, I’m hoping Judith is playing Anjelica and that she is responsible for faking Abby’s death.

Chloe and Kevin have no chemistry at all

[Lye-C]

Agreed. He was better with Jana and she was better with Ronan. 

[Khan]

I used to think that was because Greg Rikkart was clearly not into women, but I've watched a little bit of him with Peter Porte on DAYS and I don't see chemistry there at all either.  I dunno, maybe Rikkart just doesn't have it?
