After rumors began this week that none other than Hunter Tylo would be making a guest return visit to CBS’ The Bold and the Beautiful as Taylor Hayes next month, came word today from the popular star’s official facebook page that that news of a return are false at this time.

According to Hunter Tylo – The Huntress caught on camera facebook page, this statement was offered up:  “Rumors are out there, that Hunter Tylo is in talks with The Bold and the Beautiful, to reprise her role as Dr. Taylor Hayes, beginning next month.  There is no truth to those Rumors, no talks are in place between Hunter and The Bold and the Beautiful.  We thank you all for the love and support you are showing Hunter, XO Team Hunter.”

So, are you disappointed that according to the facebook post that there are no talks going on at this time between B&B and Tylo? Do you want her to return to the series now, especially in light of Ridge as played by Thorsten Kaye in the mix in storyline?  Let us know!

Hunter’s perormance on B&B, IMO, really lacked the last few years she was on contract with the soap. I always loved Taylor, but Hunter lost her joy in playing her or at least I feel that way. I would take a recast. Lisa Rinna? Lisa Peluso?

I think it is more about the story she had to play.

LOL

Lisa Rinna would be a hoot, just to have her back on our screens

she’d still have time to keep her star out of our reach

she’s so ms. Hollywood

I’m glad “fans” even mention her

Dean…YES!!!!! I think that Lisa Peluso would make an AWESOME Taylor Hayes…HELL TO THE YEAH!!!!!

NOOOOOO. Terrible character and so so actress. Leave it alone.

I like B&B without Hunter Tylo. With all due respect, I find all the cosmetic procedures to be distracting.

I miss Miss Tylo as Taylor and hope the absence of actor and character can allow writers to restore the character to the strong assertive positive woman Taylor once was. Seems beginning with that awful embryo switch storyline — where are you Jack? and why doesn;t either mother seem to be concerned about you, despite the custody battle? — Taylor was made into a Brooke clone. Instead of playing against Brooke in the ongoing rivalry for Ridge’s affections, she stooped to her level with random relationships and games that sometimes seemed an afterthought. The endgame could never be Ridge and Taylor but she is the mother of his three children. And Thomas and Steffi remain vital characters. My fear is they, too, will fade intot he woodwork with Thorne, Felicia and other Forresters in favor of the Logans… and that would be a shame.

I am delighted she is not returning, because I am sick of the tired threesomes on B&b.

It has been replaced by the tired threesome/foursome of Hope/Wyatt/Steffi/Liam!

LOL… you overlooked my comment was plural. I guess that’s because I had temporarily forgotten about Steffi. 😉

I DO NOT want the character of Taylor returning to B&B anytime soon. No. I’m sorry but I was SO GLAD when Hunter Tylo left B&B. More and more, Taylor kept getting on my nerves…self-righteous, preachy, overly-moral, nosy, meddlesome…No Thank You. As far as I’m concerned, the B&B canvas is full enough already.

Peace.

Yikes!

right now… that could sound like:

Robin on GH
Sami on DAYS

as well

We don’t need another person in this mess of triangles—there is nothing this character could add to story as it at the moment. I for one am glad it was just a rumor.

Disappointed? No. They could always recast the part. Steven Tyler would be great.

Steven Tyler, huh??? HAHAHAHAHA!!!!! Good one, Harry. LOL!!!!!

LOL– you made me spit out my soda with that one— thanks for the laugh it made my day.

LMFAO!!! That’s funny!

No I am not why should she go back and say one or two lines every week this is the Brooke & Hope show.

Why bother? Brad Bell only knows how to write for literally one handful of characters. It was the “all about Brooke” show for 20 years, and now it’s the “all about Brooke and her daughter Hope whom she conceived with her other daughter’s boyfriend” show.

I do not miss Hope in this show at all- I think Stephanie and Wyatt would be very exciting together as a couple- Love Liam but he is too passive and boring when he gets with Stephanie- this is the only soap opera I tape and watch anymore

Daytime Confidential has confirmed her return and called you out Michael. Let’s have a food fight!

I would love to see Hunter Tylo return to B&B. Maybe we would see a little less of Brooke for awhile.

B&B bring back hunter and make a storyline beter then ever before ..you have 2 make her fans that watching something 2 talk about..

I only wish it were true that she is NOT returning to B & B! Other sources claim she is definitely coming back and reprising her role as Taylor Hayes. No offense to the actress, but her character is the most lackluster of all. “Taylor” is a hypocrite, back-stabber, neurotic, alcoholic moron who can’t even recognize or help her own daughter with problems, much less any clients who seek her out for psychological aid. For a psychiatrist to carry a torch for nearly 30 years over a man who very obviously prefers another woman, is just plain INSANE!

Everything you said about Taylor except for the alcoholic can be said about Brooke. Brooke is still the same tramp she has been for the past 26 years. She hasn’t shown any growth at all.

I would like to see Taylor return but only if she has a decent s/l. Bell and his team can’t seem to write anything but triangles and they are written poorly at that. With one exception, I loving what they are doing with Quinn.

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.
