Thanksgiving is time for your favorite soap opera families to gather round the table, and gather together for a turkey feast, and to make us at home all sentimental.  This Turkey Day on The Young and the Restless, Neil’s (Kristoff St. John) young son, Moses is back in Genoa City!

This time the role will be played by child actor Dax Randall.  Look for him on the Tuesday, November 22nd episode of the CBS sudser.

As Y&R fans know, Moses is the bio-son of Sofia (Julia Pace Mitchell) and Neil.  In story, Moses will be in Genoa City this holidays hanging out with his dad, without mom in tow.

No word yet as to whether Moses will stick around with the Winters/Ashby clan for Christmas, but it would be nice for Neil to get some on-screen family time with his son.

So, should Y&R keep Moses on the canvas now? Do you think the show will ultimately SORAS (Soap Opera Rapid Aging Syndrome) him sooner than later?  Share your thoughts in the comment section below!

unless he’s going to act like little damien from the exorcist not news not excited lol..no seriously..

Hater

But a funny hater.

Good to see Neil again. Give this man a good story and a worthy love interest.

I agree

I would love to see Neil in love. He is long overdue for a good story and a good woman. Especially after the crap he went through with Devon and Hilary. Not to mention his mother. He needs to be doing more than just babysitting his grandchildren. He is to talented to be seen coloring. Let this talented actor use his gift

If they aged Moses, they’d have to age Matty and her twin, can’t think of his name, and I like the actors who play Lily and Cane’s twins so I say no to aging Moses.

Yep–don’t age Moses unless he spends the night on a mountain top and comes down from it with a stone tablet in his hand.

That’s good. I had actually forgotten about Moses. LOL. He’s rarely mentioned.

That’s really nice, glad Neil gets to his child every once in a while.

Summer is gone and I am not looking forward to Winter[s]

Hey, Timmmy. It seems your sardonic, witty joke went over someone’s head. LOL. I thought it was very clever of you. More, please!!

I knew you would get it. Sweet, smart and god in your heart, what else could you ask for!

Awwwwww!! Thank you Timmmy, my love. As my husband would say: “Your wit is my command”.
His sense of humor is much like yours.
Remember the time when soaps had those rare characters with special witty retorts for comic relief? Richard Burgi had that gift….but, ‘they’ got rid of him. Roger Howarth had the IT factor as Todd….and, so did Trevor. Now, Roger as Franco has turned the corner. He is not fun anymore; you know, not the same with Elizabeth. I know Nina is not an embraceable character….but, golly gee, Timmmy, Elizabeth just brings me down, down, down….it ‘kinda’ trickles dooown to Franco.
Another is John Aniston (Days’ Victor). They have, indeed, become a rare breed.

Jude is the man!

I wish Richard Burgi was written different. Y&R should hire him to butt heads with Victor. When you get two good actors together, its magic! Remember how good Ray Wise was with Eric Braeden!

The whole Liz and Franco thing is a disaster!

They have tried every which way to fit Michelle Stafford into the show. Its a bust!

Yes, Celia, they’ve stripped Roger of his wicked, offbeat humor, the same way they’ve tried to bury Billy Miller’s normally ebullient personality. Sam, too (Kelly Monaco was actually bright and charming on DANCING WITH THE STARS). But we still have our dear Jane Elliott and Tracy’s barbs. And I always get a few giggles when Dr. Finn and Liesl go at it and the twice-a-year treat of seeing Brad. But that’s about it in the fun department.

Oh, Timmm, thank you for echoing my sentiments. That airhead turned savvy businesswoman overnight has the nerve to lecture about family and Sharon’s sins when she JUST threw her whole family under the bus to marry that strutting peacock
Luca? Kettle, meet Pot! I welcome more “Winter (s)” over Summer also.

I agree with both you and Timmm. Billy, Roger and Michelle are unrecognizable. Where did they go?
Yes, Jane, Eric, Ray….all exellent foils and buffers.
And, I do enjoy the on-going cold war between Liesl and Finn….it would be complete if Faison were to return.
I just love him. His weirdness is like no other’s.

Is Summer gone? I’m a few episodes behind. LOL

No.

Hunter King is on recurring as she is also doing the sitcom “Life In Pieces”.

Speaking of long lost children when are they ever going to mention Victoria’s first born son REED again—-Right now they are portraying her as this paragon of motherhood, but she hasn’t even mentioned him in so long it is laughable—- but truth be told on soaps children are rarely used properly– there are exceptions– they have a little gem in the girl who plays Faith- but normally, once they are out of diapers you rarely see the kids until they are SORAS to be rebellious teens.

They are waiting until he can come back as a bratty 16 year old..lol.I’m shocked Faith is not 21 yet. Summer was born a couple of years after Cassie died, so she should be about 17years younger then Mariah. She is more like 4 years younger. do they think we don’t noticed these things!!

Remember how hysterical she was when he left. They use to have scenes where Victoria would video chat with him, or oncemin a while he would be playing video gaames with Billy. Now it seems like he’s gone with the wind

I think it’s hard enough to have good story for characters actually on-screen, so those that are not get left out, which I understand even if I don’t always like it.

Oh, yeah, Mary….as I said, these writers ( of soaps in general) give mothers a bad name.
Another ” great” character with maternal instincts is Chelsea.
Having handed Johnny, her firstborn ( as far as we know….she is probably in the habit of giving birth and then giving the babies away), to Billy and Victoria is one thing. But, never seeking a stolen look or moment with Johnny? Shouldn’t there be an emotional pull there somewhere? I don’t know….it’s a soap., I guess. It boggles the mind how some of these women are portrayed as airheads with needle in hand; literally.
It’s just weird….Chelsea is so consumed with Christian and everything ‘Nick’, she forgets Connor. Where is he? Playing with Bella alone in the penthouse, while their mothers are gallivanting around town?
These writers need a shake-down.

Chelsea hasn’t raised Johnny. To her, he is Victoria and Billy’s son.

They do mention Connor, but you can’t have a kid hanging around in every scene just to satisfy some viewers.

Yes and lets all remember Victoria lost that child due to dear old dad gosh Sally & Kay have their work cut out for them to get back to character devlopment

@Mo.
Well, Mo, I disagree. Your opinion is not mine. ….. it makes no difference that Chelsea gave her son away. Only an insensitive, unfeeling, self-centered, woman/mother lacks the instinct to see HER son, the kid in which she bore. But, I guess you forgot how Chelsea came to be….
Then, again, it’s a soap.
And, yes, viewers should be satisfied….now, now Mo. Be nice.

Hope they recast Dillion and bring back Phillis sister and she have a baby that turn out to be his would serve Sharon right and I am glad they are bringing back Neil’s son and they need someone for him

Who is Dillion?

I guess you Dylan. I was thinking you were talking about a kid.

Hey, Hattie,
That sounds like a perfect ending, doesn’t it? I agree with you. Avery and Dylan were great together.

Pregnancies seem to be favorite plot devices but writers then are saddled with the children and then what? Either integrate them into the story with some genuine story lines about parenting and family… or please, just don’t have them! SORASing is not a good option in many cases as it only adds to the incredulity of future characters’ situations.

bring Aunt Liv back for the holidays at least and back in neils life!
With sally back as headwriter a jack/ liv/ neil triangle would be a real heavy meaty story with three legacy characters and a nice nod to john / aunt mamies affair years ago
a interacial love is what y n r needs right now to do a socially current story on daytime
all three players have history together
ofcourse to really make this a quadrangle would be for sally to make a drucilla comeback possible!!

Who was Aunt LIv

Aunt Liv is Drucilla’s sister, played by Tonya Williams.

Good call!! I can see that happening. That would really throw Phyllis for a loop

Please bring back Victoria Rowell they need to fix that story line. They just left us hanging after Durcilla fell over the cliff. Please bring her back. Her story line was awesome.

Victoria Rowell is suing CBS / SONY so I don’t think she will be returning anytime ! Unfortunate cause I really liked her character!

Agreed, Tammy. Victoria is one in a million, as an actress. When she spoke, we listened. She had that certain air and magnetism that simply drew attention. Love her still.

I guess you haven’t heard, Linda. Backlash, disputes, and back stage drama. Ahhh, to be a fly on the wall!!

Yes, I think the drama that would come with Victoria Rowell would not make CBS want to hire her. I would like to see her on Y&R (wasn’t watching when she was on before), but again, the other stuff that she brings would not be wanted. I’m sure if Y&R offered her a job, she might drop her lawsuit.

She is getting other acting jobs so she can’t be that bad to work with. I just wonder what really went down when she was at Y&R.

Rowell is locked up with Patty Williams!

I am curious about sully’s bio mom. What happened to her? I missed that part.

Sully doesn’t exist.

Christian’s mother Sage died in a car crash.

Sage, is the name

Hi Sami,
Sage had just found out (At Sharon’s) that Sully was really Christian. She left Sharon’s in a really ‘bad’ way, to tell Nick. Unfortunately she was involved in a car accident and died. The secret of the true baby’s identity dying with her.

The secret didn’t die with her as Sharon and Patty knew.

@Mo.
Obviously. You know exactly what I meant, Mo. Must you rebuke everything I , and everyone else says?
As far as Sharon knew, the secret did die with Sage. We knew otherwise.
The other person who knows is the infamous nurse!
Go ahead. You have the floor.
Happy Thanksgiving.

That is so true. If you can remember back to when Nick and Victoria were kids. At a point they were small around 5&6. Then maybe a couple years later. They both were coming back from boarding school.

Well, that was pretty much for naught. They could have had a doll playing Moses. As soon as he arrived, he got shipped off to the other room. We saw him again at CL, but I’m sure he’ll be in the back soon because how can a baby help dish out food?

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.
