MUST FOLLOW: Weekly Spoiler Embargoes


Recommended Posts

  • Webmaster

When it comes to posting weekly spoilers on the SON Community, please be advised that there are stringent embargoes put in place for "Beyond the Gates," "The Bold and the Beautiful," "General Hospital" and "The Young and the Restless."

Although certain sites freely violate these embargoes, posting the information without ethics, Soap Opera Network and the SON Community WILL adhere to the embargoes set by the show's publicity team and/or producers.

Therefore, members of the SON Community are not to post any weekly spoiler information, regardless of where you find spoilers, without first keeping the embargoes in mind.

To help clear up any uncertainty, please keep the following in mind when posting weekly spoilers:

Beyond the Gates

  • Note: Although there is some confusion as to the show's official embargo lift time, as the BTG publicity team only specifically states all video/promo materials are embargoed until Friday at 5:00 p.m. ET/2:00 p.m. PT, to keep things in order, the official embargo lift time for spoilers we will adhere to is the aforementioned Friday at 5:00 p.m. ET/2:00 p.m. PT.
     
  • Emargo Lift: Friday at 5:00 p.m. ET/2:00 p.m. PT.

The Bold and the Beautiful

  • Note: The embargo officially lifts on Sundays (no set time). Although the show does not seem to enforce this in practice, Sunday is the official embargo lift day provided by the B&B publicity team.
     
  • Embargo Lift: Sunday (not set time)

General Hospital

  • Note: The embargo officially lifts on Fridays at 3:00 p.m. ET/noon PT. Although the show does not always send spoilers before the embargo lift, as it frequently sends information after the fact, Friday at 3:00 p.m. ET/noon PT is the official lift day/time provided by the GH publicity team.
     
  • Embargo Lift: Friday at 3:00 p.m. ET/noon PT.

The Young and the Restless

  • Note: The embargo officially lifts on Fridays at 1:30 p.m. ET/10:30 a.m. PT, and strictly prohibits program listings services from releasing information before this time. This is the official lift day/time provided by the Y&R publicity team.
     
  • Embargo Lift: Friday at 1:30 p.m. ET/10:30 a.m. PT.

Days of our Lives

  • Note: There is currently no official embargo day/time put in place by Peacock/Corday Productions. That said, the DAYS publicity team sends information out on Fridays.
     
  • Embargo Lift: Friday (not set time)

The people I know who get the GH "Next Week" previews, also called Spoilers, get them after the show, not during, not before. I am speaking of after the show, Friday, eastern time. And, also they are literally afraid when they see others posting ahead of time. Just outlining what happens with one outlet. Sounds like they, like you, are in good shape. And, really, why does anyone need them before they're supposed to have them?

Ha! It's such a shame... that these people (the ones who knew about the restriction and chose to ignore it) lack posting-ethics and publish them before they are allowed to. Such a shame!  I can't help but wonder... What are they hurrying for? Maybe they want to post everything before anyone else has the chance to do it? Maybe some of them just don't care about the consequences. Hmmm. Nice to know that SON is reminding people how it should be done. By following the rules and being respectful to the embargoes. Thank you@Errol

At the risk of being tarred & feathered & rode out of town, or possibly because in Internet terms this is bound to be what would be called "trite & cliched".... oh, what the heck, you seem to be overlooking one possible reason & that is that they have no lives.

I wonder what's up with BOLD and them always wanted spoilers posted so late, I mean what difference does it make if it's Friday or Sunday. I don't mean us posting them, I mean them letting the spoilers be posted

I previously inquired in 2023, and for a brief period, they had changed the embargo to Fridays, but not too long after, Sundays were put back in the embargo section in the weekly emails. It is what it is. No clue either.

      I LOVED HER TOO! She was crazy but great on Desperate Housewives! And that "The Powers That Be" show in which she was John Forsythe's daughter as well! Many people she would've done a great Maris on Frasier too
    • Hey boys, I know these aren’t really thirst traps but I think they belong here. Don’t ya agree?

    • That’s one of the things I’ve liked since the new writers came in; more interactions between characters that they hadn’t really had scenes with 
    • Such a missed opportunity… 
    • Loved Valerie Mahaffey as crazy as a box of frogs Sandy Cooper on Wings. 2025 needs to chill out already. May Ms. Mahaffey rest in peace.
    • She was great on there. And Wings. And so many shows. I don't feel like we get those character actors as much now.
    • Cady did have a southern accent as Dixie in her first few years playing the character... but it started to minimize the longer she played the character (which tracks because my aunt had a heavy southern accent when married my uncle and years living in the north has softened it quite a bit). Her initial stint playing Rosanna was partly due to mirroring the previous actress and eventually developing her own take on the character. And the thing about her take as Kelly on Y & R was that she was too sedate when she first took over playing the role (she was supposed to play a woman that had recently lost her child.. and trying to keep things together) and then went OTT crazy and didn't play it well.    And I don't care to remember her attempt at playing Jennifer on Days. I think this Pamela character is the first time she's playing a character from the start and I think she's like a kid at a candy store.  She's having so much fun trying different things... and I hope eventually she decides to settle on a more consistent character for Pamela (perhaps her love of accents is a character trait based on something traumatic that happened to her in the past maybe).
    • That's sad. I remember her mostly from ER and the shortlived, yet very funny, sitcom The Powers That Be.
    • As always loved seeing Ric with Liz. I hope the show forever keeps them in each others orbit even if it’s just platonic. I’m sure she’s going to cut him out when she finds out he’s blackmailing Alexis though. So darn.
    • I have to be honest I’m really struggling with this show. I love everything with Eva/Leslie/Ted/Nicole/Kat and enjoy Dani and Bill’s shenanigans (I’m on the Hayley needs to be recast train now tho), Chelsea is second to Kat as my favorite Dupree grandkid and I loved her coming out to her mom. The show was on a truly great run with the big Leslie and Eva reveal at Nicole and Ted’s anniversary party and the fall out has still been good even with the unnecessary Ted recast and them making Leslie kind of dumb by exposing herself too much unnecessarily. The real problem for me started when they rotated back to way too damn much screen time for Derek/Ashley/Andre (if anyone should have been up first for a recast it was these three IMO). They tried way too hard to drum up drama between Ashley and Derek and the actors were clearly fighting for their mediocre charisma less acting lives to make it work but none of it landed, just horrible. Naomi and Jacob and this weird homeless woman story are also BORING. I can see where its potentially going but IDGAF at all, my only hope for them is that they’re building a triangle with Naomi/Jacob/Kat because Jacob and Kat have stronger chemistry together than their current love interests (Eva is the only one who can make the awful Tomas work). Martin, his secret and still cringe worthy acting got kind of interesting with Bill dropping hints to Smitty but they completely lost me with that lil fakeout scene at the country club. The lame “teenagers” (air quotes because Samantha is no Bianca Lawson and never beating the black Andrea Zuckerman allegations) can get off my screen as well. Joey creeping on Vanessa is grossing me out at this point, I actually quite like Vanessa and Doug now but Joey falls totally flat as a villain and someone we’re supposed to buy Vanessa being enamored with. I’m glad they’ve finally set up something interesting for Vernon and Anita to do with this girl band reunion instead of Anita wringing her hands and telling us she feels darkness coming and Vernon giving a civil rights speech every episode but yeah… People who’ve posted with me for other shows know I’m not one for fast forwarding or hate watching either, if I find a majority of a show is not working I usually just quit but because of what this show represents for me as a Black male soap fan I really want to stick it out. Its just become a challenge lately. I saw Guza has left the building and I REALLY hope we hear about some more BTS changes. The additions of Tracy Thompson and Jamie Giddens don’t exactly inspire a lot of confidence from me tho. Honestly praying hard for a new EP to replace JHC, a lot of the stuff that annoyed about her PC and AMC runs has started to match up here. I’m giving the show through the Summer to rectify some things but IDK how long I can hold on tbh. Its been a struggle to even finish some of these episodes lately.
