They are only 4 weeks ahead of taping. Y&R and ATWT both talked about.

Was Kyle & Summer's divorce finalized, or has that not been addressed?

Tuesday, January 23 U.S. Kyle and Summer were both getting coffee, and then discussed that they each just got word that their divorce is final. Chance walked in. Kyle noticed that she has a crush on Chance, she started to deny it, Kyle said it's fine and wished her happiness.

Oh okay. Thanks for the word!

I found it amusing that she said she told him, "Do with me what you will." Boy, he took that to heart!

The timing is interesting @BoldRestless. For years, I have been asking why more soap stars haven’t started their own YouTube channel yet. Many athletes have been doing so in the last few years. Patricia Bruder Debrovner (Ellen Lowell Stewart, ATWT) started her own YouTube channel a few years ago and I enjoyed the few episodes she uploaded and wished she would post more).
Since Y&R is still on air, this might be a copyright infringement issue to post entire episodes but there are always clips and other non-soap related content. And for actors from cancelled soaps, I really wish they would start their own YouTube channels and post classic episodes.

Ashley and Tucker still fighting over what happened in Paris and Ashley and Traci going to Paris to uncover the truth is the big high stakes drama on the show right now…?

How is it that they think they can learn the truth? Interrogating servers asking if they remember what they saw that night? Every time Ashley shares a scene with him I think she should be moving on & ignoring him completely!

Why are there so many posters who still think that the Billy/Summer one-time sex event is relevant to anything on this show anymore? It wouldn't change a damn thing with anyone. Sure, Nick would be a little mad and Victor already hates BillyBoy. Yet I still see this brought up all the time like if it was "revealed" that it would shake up a bunch of characters. It wouldn't.

They put this to rest on that plane ride to LA when Kyle, Summer, Billy and Lily were all on board. No one else would ever care to find out that Billy had sex with Supergirl. It was years ago.

I wish someone would tell those on other boards to just let this one drop.

Looking at the Brad in a Cage location clip posted in the Old Articles thread, highlighted the contrast with the Nikki/Jordan story.

Location filming, and a longer term, more suspenseful tale.

Not just a bunch of people standing in a room in the culmination of a plot that lasted a few weeks.

If it had have come up when Billy and Phyllis were still together maybe.

But it's like Billy/Sharon, Cole/Nikki, Jack/Sharon...no longer mentioned or relevant.

To me it is so irrelevant that I have no recollection of whether it was revealed or to whom.

ALL: Recasts who were quickly accepted by the audience

I think those are both good examples.
I do believe JB was popular as Vicky. Although I don't know if she got really lucky or was actually good. Her role as Melissa on GH and her off screen antics make me think it was the former.

Maybe the three key Margo Hugheses on ATWT? There was a fourth like Bransford who didn't go over well, but the others were very distinctive and to my understanding popular.
Vicky Hudson on AW might be the same, though I have never cared much for Jensen Buchanan lol.

GH: November 2025 Discussion Thread

I thought the scenes between Britt and Jason were well done, so I'll give KT props for that at least. I agree it felt like she was asking too much of him. It's unrealistic to think Jason, of all people, would be 100% committed to anyone at this point and he actually shouldn't have to be when he's just offering help? Britt also has family that would be happy to help her, so it's not as if she's all alone in the world.
The whole Dalton murder and Britt/Sidwell connection is fine I suppose, but it feels like the show just scrapped Emma's only story. All the months she spent trying to get in good with Dalton yet she never cracked the case and now he's dead.

Your daily (or nightly) thought

That's great that you've found something to enjoy. I remember my first telenovela as a child - Rosalinda. I was obsessed. I was sooo little, practically a baby, but remember re-enacting scenes from the show, fake falling down the stairs like Rosalinda and fake-getting run by car like she was. I would recreate these hyper dramatic moments all day long. My father cringing every time he sees me. 😄

Cherie Jimenez as Gabi on Days. I am not sure if Camila Banus was ever super popular, but she led storyline and was on the show for years.
Not to veer off topic, but I am also quite fascinated by the Carly situation on GH. I know TB wasn't immediately accepted, while Laura was due to the Bransford situation, but it has to be rare to have such longevity and success with three separate actors in the role. Are there other roles/actors that have achieved that?

That was a messy story. I'm still waiting for Krista to write her tell all book. 😄

Thank you for reminding me! I think I know which ones you are referring to. It's just so hard to follow what is up and what gets taken down from YouTube. I think they've been cleaning a lot of channels due to this new streaming thing.
BTW, I was just watching again and I guess Susan Lucci was on hiatus, because Erica is nowhere to be seen. They left us on a cliffhanger and now I watch every episode expecting to see what happened with her and the clown. Manipulative writing.

D'oh! That makes sense. In that case, Jill Larson (AMC) as Opal. She had the additional advantage of the character being offscreen for a half-decade.

Kimberley is another, definitely, especially as she got to stand on her own with the Musketeers phasing out.
Those are the responses I was most interested in seeing, but I didn't want to make a lot of rules because I am enjoying seeing the different suggestions, even for people who were replacing lesser-known performers.
