There was a Caitlyn Jenner sighting in Genoa City, but it was behind the scenes! According to EW.com, when Candis Cayne taped her scenes as Stitch (Sean Carrigan) and Abby’s (Melissa Ordway) wedding planner which airs on December 2nd, she brought along Jenner to the set of the number one soap opera.

During the episode which airs Wednesday, Cayne  lays the role of Nona Richards, the wedding planner for Abby Newman (Melissa Ordway) and Dr. Ben “Stitch” Rayburn (Sean Carrigan).

Over the last several months after Caitlyn became a trans women she befriended Cayne, and the two have been spotted together in many photos in tabloids and press outlets.  On Y&R, Cayne will be making a one-day appearance. 

So, would you have like to have also seen Caitlyn do a spot on Y&R?  Will she drop by sometime to B&B who is telling the story of a trans woman through the character of Maya Avant (Karla Mosley)?  Are you looking forward to seeing what kind of wedding planner Candis Cayne AKA Nona Richards makes for Abby and Ben? Comment below!

Scott, not going to throw stones because I agree.
Here’s the truth–Bruce Jenner was a narcissist and Caityln Jenner is a narcissist just like the entire Kadasharian family.

I simply cannot bring myself to call Bruce, Caitlyn. I am ready for my decapitation, people. Give it your best shot.
And, I agree, Harry.

Sadly, nothing can pull this show out of Pratt & Phelps’ horrid storylines. Y&R continues to insult long-time viewers as it makes no sense and characters change daily. With today’s stunt of Victor holding Phyllis at knife point, the dumbing down of this show is stunning. I guess some people lap this trash up, but not this long-time fan. What a mess.

NoooooooooooooooooooooooO!!!!!!!!!!

I dont find it a thrill that Caitlyn visited the set, and like Scott said, who cares?
And no, have zero interest in her doing a guest spot on our soap.
Dont really care about Abby and Ben’s wedding plans, either, lol.
With Ben so fickle, their wedding, if it happens, will be a big mistake.

Like some before me, I don’t care. She is what she is, I doubt if a cameo appearance would help the show. The fans are what can make a difference by watching every day. What I would like, as shown in the above picture, is for Catilyn to take on the full female persona and sit accordingly, with her legs closed like the other women there. And no, I’m not trying to nit pick; but there are certain things that make us look like a woman. Even Cayne can sit properly. Yeah I know, nit picking again; but it was the first thing that I noticed when the pic loaded.

A big DITTO here! Just let me know the airdate and I will stay far away from CBS that day. I am so tired of the media’s continuing to give people whose 15 minutes of fame needed to end a long time ago. What I wouldn’t do for a story about Paris Hilton instead of this brood.

WOW disgusted by everyone!! 45% of transgender ppl commit suicide by the comments above by people with the disapproval. If Jenner’s story saves ONE life it is worth it which is why celebrities come out in the first place and use their celebrity to try and tell their story!! YOU PEOPLE MAKE ME SICK!!! IF if was someone you know or care about? I sure hope that you do not treat them the same way. How about friends or loved ones ? What you like them treating them the same way YOU are treating them? Chaz Bono and Caitlyn Jenner BOTH are getting treated like crap!! This is a disgrace no wonder kids are committing suicide or running away from home or turning to drugs, etc….. It is comments like the ones Scott, Harry, Jimh(leave it to beaver), Coco, jeremy, and Nanci are making … and I am sure there are more to follow…

I was talking about the Kardashians as a whole and being overexposed..not against Bruce/Caitlin being a transgender!…maybe i didnt word it right and you took it the wrong way-cant help that…i see my comments was removed but it wasnt written to offend the transgender community…im just tired of the Kardashian family!

No apology needed buddy, We knew what YOU met. Your not a mean spirited guy.

Exactly, Jim. It’s about the Kardashians, not transgenders.
And even more so for me, not wanting any more new characters
popping up on the soap, no matter who, when so many current ones dont get
enough airtime. Where did Marisa go? And Dr. Neville? And definitely want
more airtime for Mariah!

We all know you are a good guy, Jimmy. I accept transgenders. This is their planet as well, afterall. I have said this month’s ago….it is harder to see Caitlyn as Caitlyn because I knew her as Bruce. By the same token, it is no problem seein any other transgenders as she is because I knew her not. Am I making any sense? We have to be given the chance and time to adjust as well. Certainly no disrespect meant. However, Caitlyn is using the opportunity to cash in. We are entitled to our opinion. Please do not try to shut us up. We have the same rights as transgenders. It is the US of A. Kudos, K/Kay.

I think you may have taken Jimh’s comment the wrong way….

The Kardashians are everywhere, it is just sickening…. and Caitlyn is no exception. She appears more interested in “her look” than what it means to be transgender. I find that very disappointing but back to my original comment, I think people are over all being extremely over sensitive every word that is said.

Some did take it the wrong way and MF even removed my comments…all i did was reply to Scott about the Kardashions and that i found them trashy…i didnt even say Caitlin or anything against transgenders…like Trimmm said im not a mean-spirited person!

The trans community is offended by CJ they want her out of their universe because they feel she is a cross dresser and making a mockery out of them that is the truth Michael and you know it!!!!!

One thing has nothing to do with the other. Transgenders go through hell, I am sure. But as they transition, their families transitions as well. No one stops to think about the repercussions befalling children of transgenders….their siblings, their mates/spouses. How do we know those kids don’t commit suicide? Bruce Jenner has made a mockery of transgenders, in general. This is my opinion only, and I have the right to speak. Caitlyn Jenner is not doing this from the goodness of her heart. She is doing it to line her pockets. She could still help by public speaking without making herself do visible. I think of those children who struggle with their identity on a daily basis. But, what I see is Caitlyn chasing women’s latest fashion in all things Hollywood. Gimme a break. She looks like a man, no matter how many ‘adjustments’ she makes to her body/face. Just look at her hands.

Cont’d Oh and Transgender is NOT a MENTAL illness! So do not Start !!

Jimh. …..lmao….KarTRASHians!

I do not care what your personal opinions/feelings are for Caitlyn. She is a Trans woman and should always be addressed as such. Calling her him/he or Bruce is a disrespect to ALL Trans people.
Most of the world has no idea how hard it is to live as a Trans woman. It is not easy.

Please be more respectful, we are all not like Caitlyn.

Micheal…im sorry if you felt my comments was offensive but they were NOT written disrespecting transgenders…im just tired of hearing about The Kardashian family as a whole who i find overly exposed…mainly the mother and the three daughters…thats who i was talking about!

Thanks for the reply Micheal…i did not realize i had even written he/she when i commented…must have come out that way when i edited out a more lengthy post …just happy we cleared it all up!

Will Y&R be doing a transgender storyline? It’s “sister” show, B&B, has a transgender storyline. Will B&B’s Maya “cross” over to Y&R? I noticed ‘Big Brother,’ another CBS show, had a transgender contestant.

I read the article and then commented without reading the other comments (namely Mr. Fairman’s) first. My comment was and is not intended to be disrespectful to anyone.

I didnt think my previous post would make it through moderation but my point was I think were all tired of the Kardashians and Caitlin, rightfully so, gets lumped in with them. I dont think most people have a problem with Bruce Jenner’s choice if it were he and not the whole clan! As I stated, Love and accept everyone because you know what, your different to!

I knew something looked a little offbeat with the acting. I thought it was one of the housewives!

I feel sorry for the Kardashians, even when it’s not about them it’s still about them, even when people are tired of them. :/?

SORRY! They are laughing all the way to the spa!

Yeah but who laughs 24/7???

One of the questions was Would you want Caitlyn to do a guest spot?
I said I would not be thrilled. I wouldnt be thrilled with Brad Pitt doing a guest
spot, either…has nothing to do with transgender.

Best answer, Nanci.

Thanks, CeeCee.

Candis’ cameo was whatever. Anyone could have done it. It didn’t really add to the story. And her voice throws me off. She looks like a woman, but doesn’t sound like one. Although, her voice is better than Caitlin’s.

I know, right?
I thought her scene would last longer. Seemed kinda pointless,
especially rushing Ben to decisions on his own, just cause Abby
was a little late.
But I did like her, though.

Who freaking cares?? Seriously, does anyone care??? And don’t go calling me mean spirited or make this about a gender change. People have the same opinion about Victoria Rowell and all sorts of other stupid soap headlines.

Hey, Ashleigh? Did you have your baby? I was thinking about you.

Aww CeeCee, thank you for thinking of me! Still no baby. My due date is the 15th, which is why I’m so pissy! I’m ready for labor to be over but scared for it to come. It’s like PURGATORY!!

Enjoyed Candis Cayne on Dirty, Sexy Money but she was saddled with a thankless role on Y&R since nothing can make Abby and Stitch interesting, either individually or as a couple…

Would I want Caitlin to do a guest spot? No. This show has enough issues without these awful, misguided stunt-casts. Candis was an unnecessary and silly distraction. Caitlin would be a disaster. No thank you. Nothing to do with gender, just don’t care for attention-seeking narcissists who are show-horned into a story for a ratings grab.

I’ve seen Kardashians, Real Housewives, Big Brothers, and other pseudo-celebs on soaps over the years and it is never a good thing. Just Say No!

Nancy Lee Grahn’s Star-Studded ALS Fundraiser Reveals “I’ll Be There” Video Featuring Soap Opera Notables

Talk about your impressive line-up! It’s a soap fans dream and for a great cause. General Hospital’s Nancy Lee Grahn (Alexis Davis) is prepping her one-night only ALS fundraiser which will feature many of her friends and co-stars.

The benefit is set for May 4th in Glendale, California. Slated to participate are Genie Francis, Jane Elliot, Peter Bergman, Maurice Benard, Eileen Davidson, Thorsten Kaye, Michelle Stafford, Stephen Nichols, Rena Sofer, Jason Thompson, Kelly Monaco, Melissa Claire Egan, Maura West, Kristina Wagner, Gregory Harrison, Trevor St. John, Kate Mansi, Kirsten Storms, Cynthia Watros, and many others.

On Wednesday, Grahn took to her social media and released an “I’ll be there” video shout-out featuring, Monaco, Elliot, Bergman, Bernard, West, Harrison, St. John and more. In a touching and important moment in the new video, Michelle Strogny, who is battling ALS, is featured.

Previously, in speaking with Soap Opera Digest on the impetus of the event, Grahn recalled, “I was actually doing Zoom events during Covid and I met this woman that I just fell in love with, Michelle Strojny. At the time, Michelle had been living with ALS for four years. Now, it’s five years. She is a mom of a teenage son, she has the most wonderful husband, and she has been dealing with this [disease] for quite a while. And obviously, there isn’t a cure yet. It’s not survivable yet. But as she says, it’s not incurable. Nothing is; it’s underfunded. But anyway, I just really dug this woman. She is so grounded and filled with grace, and she spends all of her time working to raise money for the cause. We did a fundraiser for her last year and then I thought, ‘You know what? The soaps don’t ever get together to do something for charity.’ Collectively, we have this amazing community and we don’t collectively use it for a good cause, and I think it’s such an easy thing for us to do and we could potentially really make a difference.”

As GH viewers know, Gregory Harrison is playing the character of Gregory Chase, who is also battling ALS in a touching storyline that is currently playing out shedding a light on this disease.

‘General Hospital’ Writer Shannon Peace Let Go, and Shares on Sprina: “One of My Only Regrets is to Not Have the Opportunity to Develop That ‘Ship’ Further”

As General Hospital’s new head writing team of Elizabeth Korte and Patrick Mulcahy gets off the ground and running, there are still changes a foot on the writing team.

Now comes word via breakdown writer Shannon Peace that she is no longer on contract with the long-running ABC soap heading into its 61st season. Peace shared a heartfelt message on her Instagram, thanking the fans, and the show for the opportunity and the importance of diversity in the writers room.

Peace began, “After almost 3 years on staff and 106 episodes penned, I am no longer on contract with General Hospital. Writing for this country’s longest running television serial drama has been an education of epic proportions; I will forever be grateful that I earned my WGA card on a daytime fixture that holds memories for so many.” (Peace pictured below with GH EP Frank Valentini and script writer, Charlotte Gibson from about ten months ago).

Shannon added “Even more importantly, as the sole Black breakdown writer (and only POC in the writers room) during my tenure, I pushed for vital interactions and discussions that prioritized inclusion, visibility, and representation”

The writer pointed to the example of vital interaction when in story, “Stella and Portia’s frank July 2022 conversation about the role race played in Esme’s framing of Trina is just one example of the impact I’m gratified to have had.”

Acknowledging former GH co-head writers was also part of Peace’s farewell expressing, “Appreciation to my former bosses, Chris Van Etten and Dan O’Connor – not only taking a chance on me, but for valuing my opinion and championing my voice.”

Many GH fans know that Peace was key to the development of the love story between Trina Robinson and Spencer Cassadine as played by Tabyana Ali and Nicholas Chavez. Shannon gave a special shout-out to ‘Sprina’ fans, “I also want to thank fans who were supportive of my work, especially the recognition of my love for ‘Sprina’. One of my only regrets is not having to develop that ‘ship’ further.”

She concludes her statement with,”In the aftermath of a historic writer’s strike that shed new light on the troubling ways writers are regarded in daytime, my sincere hope is that General Hospital recommits to valuing staff writer efforts and input, with a more intentional focus on diverse viewpoints — and thrives for another 60 years.”

Accompanying her post, Shannon added, “Thank you all for the love and support these last few years. I hope GH fans get all they hope for and more!”

So, what do you think about GH not renewing Shannon’s contract? Will there be more continued changes afoot? What do you think is the future of ‘Sprina’ anyway at this point as viewers wait to see if Nicholas Chavez officially returns to the show?  Comment below.
