Five-time Daytime Emmy winner, Heather Tom (Katie)  is taking a short break from filming episode of The Bold and the Beautiful.  The actress announced via her Twitter account that she is in Vancouver this week shooting a guest star turn on Fox’s new dramatic series Lucifer! Tom related: On my way to Vancouver to do an episode of @LuciferonFOX #ohcanada. 

Then once situated in her hotel room, the always political Tom shared a beautiful picture of the city via her Instagram account and added this: “Nice view from my room at @suttonplacehotels I love #canada I could be an expat, I really could… Hey if @donaldtrump2o16 gets elect I might have to! #scary #politics”

Lucifer stars Tom Ellis as the devil, and is a procedural drama with a twist: Lucifer defies God, takes a vacation from Hell and teams up with a hard-edged Los Angeles detective (Chicago Fire‘s Lauren German) who’s somehow immune to his powers.  No word yet on the airdate of Tom’s episode.

In addition to her busy shooting schedule in Vancouver, Heather is again front and center in story on B&B this week.  For Katie will find out about Brooke (Katherine Kelly Lang)  and Bill’s (Don Diamont) unresolved feelings for each other which will send her spiraling.  But the actress noted it’s not going to be the same ole’ same ole’ to the viewers relating on Twitter:  “Watch tomorrow everyone! It’s going down this week!!! This story is going to have some turns- it’s definitely not what we did before!”

So, what do you think about Heather’s upcoming guest star turn on Lucifer? Glad to see she is getting an opportunity to spread her wings?  And what do you think will be the difference in the Katie/Bill/Brooke triangle storyline this time that Heather hinted at on B&B?

I do not watch B&B, but I know Heather very well as Victoria on Y&R. I watched LUCIFER last night. Simply loved it. It is so refreshing for me to watch the “supernatural” without being turned off. So, I am sure I will enjoy seeing Heather ….exciting!!

CeeCee I didn’t watch simply because of the name I so agree it can be very disturbing and exasperating watching these types of shows

Hey, dav,
That’s just it; LUCIFER was not what one would expect it to be. The twist is; the character who plays Lucifer, is sort of a ‘good’ guy, who wants to help people…..interesting! Well, last night’s episode was. Who knows if the theme will continue in this vein.
As yourself, I do not like THE WALKING DEAD, or gore of any kind.

Heeeeyyyy!!
LUCIFER fan, here!
I want to sleep with the devil !!! 😉 heh

Lol. I don’t blame you, Suzie Q. Lucifer is soooo hot!!!! Just don’t tell my husband!

You can su just lay your head on your pillow and say goodnight to yourself. LOL

Hey there, ladies…..As an aside here…if permitted…..the seemingly most appreciated Mr. Ellis was formerly featured as “Garrrrry!” on the sassy Britcom “Miranda,” which starred Miranda Hart…It was a wickedly funny brew of all sorts of saucy stuff, and I would highly recommend it for those who have enjoyed Tom’s talents stateside on Lucifer….it shows a much less serious, yet completely charming, facet to this man! (“SUCH FUN!” If you check out the series, you will completely understand my reference to this oft-used buzzphrase.) Later all!

This triangle should never even have been written or even contemplated in the first place. So so sick of Brooke Logan. Really she needs to go… there is no purpose for her at all.
You have over stayed your welcome Brooke….

I am tired of the endless B&B triangles, quick marriages, and misguided romances and REPEATED mistakes. Katie and Bill as a power couple are so interesting and filled with story possibilities beyond his affair with Brooke. Katie and Bill are attractive, smart, exciting, spirited… they are publishing magnates in a major world city! Give them adventures, romance, danger. THAT is the stuff of good soap opera. Maybe a little Nick & Nora fun? As for Brooke, she should enjoy a real romance and remarry Eric and become the matriarch of the story and a wheel in the business. I would like to see her become strong, not written to be dependent on a man or a relationship. It appears there is no Brooke-Ridge end game and that is fine by me.

I hate this repeat story line with Brooke and Bill. My God with her money she should be traveling , there must be places she’s never been. Maybe she could find a man that didn’t belong to another woman esp. her own sister. Maybe she should just marry Eric again . I love Katie and Bill together and he needs to get a grip on reality. He’s just an old horn dog and Brooke is like a dog in heat all the time.

I agree so past time for another Stephanie or and Sally. .KKL would be a great Stephanie 2.0

Iakovos…like your ideas for Brooke/Eric/Katie/Bill. Sounds like fun, and there’s enough self-destruct, learning curve going on with everybody else.

LOL KKL isn’t going anywhere soon. .worn out her welcome. .she’s a veteran staple of the show. .smh

lol… ok… we all have a right to our opinions…so what is it you like best? Her constantly speaking in whispers or her crying in every episode? This character never learns from her mistakes… lies, betrayal of her own sister…old dog in heat.

I agree with Iakovos, they should put her with Eric and send her to Paris to model lingerie or whatever it is they want us to believe…

Sorry but KKL and John McCook ARE 2 of the BIG 4 and they will decide when they want to go. The show was centered around The Forrester and Logan families when the Bell Family started it. It was also centered around fashion and the writers have forgotten that also. KKL and John will stay until they decide they want to go lke SF and RM did. Its just too bad that the writers don’t give either of the decent NEW story VS the recycling that keeps happening.

Stephanie is gone. .Sally Spectra is gone. .it’s time for someone to pick up the mantle and it should be Brooke. .she learned at the hands of the master. .literally. .Stephanie was always knocking her this way and that. Quinn is a cartoon caricature and Steffi is just a bumbling bully. .who stumbles into creating near death and death scenarios for other people. .who does that lol

I totally agree. This show needs to get BACK to basics. I don’t think Quinn is in ANY league with the likes of Sheila or Morgan as villains on the show. RS talents are being wasted with this stupid Liam story-If and when they decide to have her sleep with him-Everyone better not say its OK-ITS GROSS. Steffy is fine but the thing I cannot stand is that Ridge is NOT a Forrester-He is HALF a Forrester by marriage. Sick of folks saying otherwise. I wish writers would get that to the forefront in this NEW Rick VS Ridge battle. Ridge IS NOT Eric’s son at all-ITS IN NAME ONLY.

GLAD SHE LIKES CANADA…..WHY DO SOME OF THESE ACTORS ALWAYS HAVE TO INVOLVE POLITICS..?????? DO NOT DO THEMSELVES ANY FAVORS…..

Like it or not, she has a point! Trump is far too dangerous for this country.

You knew it was coming with Katie/Brooke/Bill. The soap gods just can’t help themselves. And after seeing the reveal today between Brooke and Katie you just know it won’t be pretty. Maybe Katie can pick up some tips from Lucifer on payback while in Vancouver. The new show was very entertaining. It followed the mini X-Files part two in my market. Big TV night in my home!

hi Rose..
We need some ”X-Files” in our soaps!!!! Some ”Lucifer” too!

((X-Files– I’m hording the 6 episodes for one great uninterrupted binge watch!
can’t hardly wait!!

@su….Would Tom Ellis not have made an excellent Valentin Cassadine?

Lucifer was AMAZING-You don’t want to like it (camp factor) but you do..LOL

Loved the show today with Brooke and Katie scenes. Heather is so believable in every story she does and beautiful as well

I love watching Heather Tom. She was good on the y & r and she is good on BB. Keep up the good work Heather.

Heather Tom and KKL are such powerhouse actresses and I love them both. Even though I miss Heather as Victoria on the Y&R, which I barely watch anymore due to all the changes, I love watching Heather on B&B…Heather is such a top notch actress…Her scenes when she first found out about Bill and Brooke…WOW, how tears came to my eyes.

I do not give a crap about her politics I will be happy to inform her Donald Trump is no different then anyone else in power deal with it. She is a great actress stay with that myself I follow the Prince of Peace Jesus Christ the only way I can get thru the madness our family just hangs on to each other . She is a hell of an actress!

Love Heather Tom great talent she was powerful this week

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.
