So, I'm trying to figure out what sound stage they could be filming on (or stages). In Karla Mosley's post from September 23, "Stage 5" is behind her. Across from it is "Stage 4" (via this layout), which if I had to guess [might] be the main sound stage they're likely going to use. Its space seems right, too, at 19,880 square feet.

Are y'all trolling or just completely out of touch? Here we have a spanking new soap on the precipice of untapped ground, aiming to illuminate and celebrate the long neglected, underappreciated, unrepresented black audience and black talent that the nation has to offer, and we're championing Chandler? Read the room. When they need a white boy, there's no shortage of options.

Looking forward to seeing some fine BLACK men who aren’t just walking torsos trotted out for an occasional fetishistic jolt like Carter on B&B or similarly poorly developed, uninspired characters like Devon Hamilton or Curtis Ashford. Give me body but with some actual flesh—male characters as complex and layered as Mason Capwell or Roger Thorpe or Mac Cory.

We’ve never really had that in daytime—even some of the better examples of Black male characters like Neil Winters, Abe Carver, and Jesse Hubbard have felt limited in their scope compared to their peers. This is such a great opportunity.

I wouldn’t mind that either, but still want some muscle eye-candy in the mix. YMMV. Yet above all else, give me memorable characters who have layers that actors can really sink their teeth into and light and shade. I’m tired of boring or one-dimensional stock characters.

    • May 2025:   New Pope, Leo XIV is chosen in Rome, while the Italian Open tennis tournament is happening in Rome. The headline is "Sinner meets the Pope"  LOL, this is tennis player Jannik Sinner. He met with Pope Leo and gave him a tennis racket. Leo plays tennis himself and is a tennis fan. (He is also a Chicago Cubs baseball fan). “I consider myself quite the amateur tennis player,” he said in a 2023 interview.

    • I still can’t help but think that this was all Ron and Paula/Jeanne just decided to run with it.  Maybe it’ll improve over time 
    • Anything, but this non-story.  Who cares if Stephanie publishes her Danielle Steel novel or not?  Maybe Joy will be back sooner or later with the baby. Last Chance Sale at Nordstrom rack.  I bet JJ has one too. Yeah.  For some reason I thought they shuttered the whole Publishing department after that.
    • Quote from the May 14, 2025 AP article on BTG: https://apnews.com/article/beyond-gates-renewal-d7369f7a60a0a992483294acb950ef6d Charlene Polite Corley, Nielsen’s vice president of diverse insights and partnerships, says 52% of the total audience is Black. “It’s bringing folks along for this really unique story being told in a lot of ways for the first time. And so, yes, the Black audience is leading here, but there’s a whole lot of other kinds of folks who are tuning in, too,” she said.
    • I'd appreciate it if you wouldn't put words in my mouth. I never said he shouldn't have been upset about it. He knew before the wedding and went through with it anyway. She offered to split up with him. He decided to stay. Then he treated her dirt, even after she had just lost her baby. If he couldn't deal with it, he should have left her. (Or, SHE should have thrown him out. The story made no sense.)
    • I wish the triangle with Philip was still going on with them. Maybe Days got a good deal

      He tried to relaunch Bella magazine 
    • The only way I saw successful playlists for DAYS uploaded to youtube was maybe 10 years ago  .... The uploader had code names for each playlist by obscure nicknames for each character, without mentioning DAYS or the actual character names in the description.  You'd have to be an expert on the show's history to know the obscure nicknames for each character - something mentioned in the show's dialogue once years before. Importantly, commenters were asked to not mention the name of the show or the characters or the actors in their comments, or their comments would be deleted, which meant that the channel owners had to check it daily to delete such comments. AND the videos were all unlisted, so you'd know about it only from word-of-mouth, but were asked not to post about it anywhere. This was many years ago and I enjoyed watching those as they were up for several months. However some unaffiliated fools would create their own playlists on their own personal youtubes, linking to the unlisted videos and labeling their personal playlists with real show name and character names... so of course Sony caught it eventually and it was all lost.
