Toronto is a 2 hour flight from Atlanta so even if she didn't move, it would be an easy commute. I also think her exit from Y&R had more to do with them clearly not wanting her than anything else. They treated her like garbage the first time her contract was up (hence Hilary's death). I can't imagine it got any better the second time.

That's the problem: the casting called for actors to be based in Atlanta, meaning, they don't want actors having the commute to work. They want them IN Atlanta for shooting purposes (per TV Insider: "All roles are contract players and must be Atlanta residents. The show is set to commence taping in November.") So, if she did take a role and did not relocate, it may be a guest/recurring one. None of the Steve Burton treatment (The Young and the Restless). They want their actors local for access purposes.

And per her own admission, Morgan wanted to spend more time with her family following tragedies and COVID. Could her mind have changed? Possibly, but is also could not have.

And so it begins…

It’s been a minute, but it’s time to get back to it. My gratitude could not be any deeper to the Soap Opera icon (and my dear friend) @michelevaljean for your vision, courage and joy in creating this groundbreaking project. The first new soap in over 20 years, y’all!

To @msttunie and @theonlydaphneeduplaix my heart is just exploding. What a gift to be cast opposite both of you.

To my @cbstv family I am so proud to be back. To @therealkimcoleman - thank you thank you thank you. And to @creativetalentcompany and @buchwaldtalent thank you for seeing me for so long.

Let’s go!!!!!

(Extra shout out to my partner in all things @hh_john_djoser_r for saying yes to this adventure. Big vision. Big changes. Big rewards. We are blessed.

This is without a doubt my proudest career moment. I’m beyond grateful to everyone one who helped make this happen. First and foremost @therealkimcoleman for believing in me and pushing for me. All the executive producers & #CBS. My magical manager who believed it was mine before the breakdowns even came out @lachrisbook my agent @hollywoodsouth #WeDidIt #NeverGiveUp #CBS #BeyondTheGates #DaytimeTelevision #SoapOperas

Tamara Tunie just made me go from will check this out to must watch. Tunie is not only an awesome actress, she is also grounded and brings depth to all the material I have seen her work with.

I have watched the premieres in my lifetime of Sunset Beach, Port Charles, and Passions. This feels different. Tamara Tunie being cast feels different. We may have pretty people here but they are not going to just be pretty people. Looking forward to this! They aren’t just looking for flash and over the top.

I know lots of us are wishing for Victoria Rowell, but I wonder if she would be happier directing on a show like this than acting. She was pushing so hard for bts representation at Y&R, and I know she knows how to work within the soap camera setup. She might be able to bring in some of that Bell glamour and lushness from her experiences there.

Quoting the end of Karla's IG post:  "Extra shout out to my partner in all things @hh_john_djoser_r for saying yes to this adventure. Big vision. Big changes. Big rewards. We are blessed"

Sounds like Karla's life partner John (father of her children) is on board with "this adventure", and I would *speculate* that either she or all of them will be moving to Atlanta or spending lots of time there?

    • Has BTG been using flashbacks much? Of course, as a new show there aren't many f/b worthy moments but I think they can get by w/o having to use/recreate the Leslie reveal scene. What other 'soap' tropes have they employed or ignored so far? We've talked about the lack of traditional cliffhangers with lingering camera shots. They have done a couple of fantasy scenes. Has anyone apart from Dana had talk to themselves scenes? Montages?
    • Thank You!!! @rsclassicfanforever and to anyone else who contributed to the vaults over the years. I have dipped in/out and gotten my life watching Y&R early years. I never would had the appreciation for characters like Lorie Brooks if not for the Vaults, so again, Thanks.
    • Another lot of skipped episodes to look forward to when the time comes on Videoland. So annoying. They have skipped so many, especially in  season 15 where they skipped 19 episodes throughout the season. Is it just me or is the vault down? It's like a different error message this time so it's hard to know if it's me this time.
    • thank you for uploading the rest of season 12!!! I hope i can get them soon the links down! Thank you again for posting the B&B classic episodes to revisit!!!!
    • Hmm, okay.  BTW, my only problem with Kai & the surgery story is where is this guy's family? And, another BTW, I think I may have inadvertently added to that rumor from last year about a male descendant of Justus Ward. You see, that is an idea I could really get behind! Like I would pay to see those scenes. And, true, I did hear it ... [sheepish grin]

      Yes they can. While rare, its not like soaps in the past havent said F that and used flashbacks of a scene even when a recast has been done. OLTL used to do that
    • Well, I am glad to know that & for it to make sense, so thanks for the info &  the perspective, also. At the end of AMC 1.0, I thought the new young talent was really quite good, but I missed Eden & NuBianca just ... well, I wasn't 100% sold on her & Bianca was so important to me. But then, Tad & Dixie were also important & yep, there's another problem, for me I mean. I'm not your typical AMC fan but I hung in there anyway. I know what you mean because it wasn't as good as it once had been but it was still Agnes's show in Pine Valley. Some of that is a bittersweet nostalgic clinging to the past, I guess. By that time I'd been through so many show cancellations. AW, Santa Barbara, PC, The City, GL, ATWT.

          Betsy Snyder, when she was at DAYS was part of the WGA winning writing team before she died, tragically far too young.  
    • Yep Edmund and Tad went under cover to infiltrate the... Willow Lake (I think?) old folks community scandal that was exploiting Phoebe, etc.  (Which at one point led to Edmund rescuing Brooke from quicksand--common around Pine Valley I guess

      ) EDIT maybe I'm wrong.  I found the quicksand scene

      But for the story all I can find is Edmund going undercover as the gigolo "preying" on older women, Eduardo (no one would recognize him with that disguise and name ) so the drag must have been.. a different story?    
    • But then he HATES the original Heather Webber (Cher's half sister played her, right?) and we know what happened when Robin would step into the role a year after this.  He does seem pretty spot on about actors who show promise otherwise.  It's interesting he knocks OLTL early on (though I loved all the recently released episodes from this era we got) but does give a lot of credit to the actress playing Cathy despite earlier complaining about her story.  And over all, while quite negative, his various pros and cons on the shows sounds about right with what I know of the shows at this time. This was a July dated issue of the magazine but and I know they date mags a month or two in advance--obviously when he wrote this he didn't know Lovers and Friends was gonna go off the air (in May I think).
