The Bold and the Beautiful is once again extending the Spencer clan, as it is becoming one of the prominent families on the CBS soap!

In casting news today out of Soap Opera Digest, “B&B is looking for a Caucasian female in her mid-to-late 40s to play Julie Spencer, a beautiful, smart and sophisticated businesswoman. The role is recurring, with a possibility of it becoming contract. The show wants recognizable names only.”

So just how would Julie be related to Bill Spencer played by Don Diamont?   That is one of the questions viewers will have!

Let us know what recognizable names you would submit to B&B’s casting to be considered for the role of Julie?  Who would you like to see back on a daytime soap opera? Let us know!

Marcy Walker

Robin Christopher, Tamara Braun or Gina Tognoni!

Gina Tognoni if they are smart.

Sarah Joy Brown

I desire an actress of soap opera “Loaving”, that is very popular in other countries, like Italy…
for example: Noelle Beck … Lisa Peluso …Laurin Marie Taylor …the actress that personified Dinahlee Mc Berry …

I would love to see either Gina Tognoni (ex-Dinah, GL; ex-Kelly, OLTL) or Beth Chamberlin (ex-Beth, GL). Both women would be fantastic to see returning to daytime. Or maybe even a non-soap actress that could be up-and-coming!

I don’t know that Bill needs another sibling…hopefully Julie would be a hard-hitting ex-wife instead! I was kind of hoping B&B would bring BIll’s mother to town in the form of a powerhouse actress (think Elizabeth Hubbard) to be the only one who could control the uncontrollable Dollar Bill! However,,,an ex-wife would do!

I too would LOVE to see Elizabeth Hubbard as Dollar Bill’s mom! Bill Bell hear our voices…

robin christopher!!!!!

Wendy Moniz

It’s hard to say since the character description is so generic. There are so many talented actresses out there that I’d love to see on any show that it is hard to say one or another.

Julie Pinson

Gina and Tamara are a little young. Mid to late 40‘s…let‘s see…i would LOVE to see Marcy Walker back on soaps but last I heard she is doing something much more worthwhile and is heavily involved in her church, so she is not returning to soaps. I say Jensen Buchanan!! Loved loved loved her as Vicky on Another World. Maybe then they could lure Tom Eplin out of retirement too!

Shouldn’t julie spencer be one of caroline’s adopted siblings? That would be the most logical storyline bec the lesbian couple is based on joanna who has adopted children who are racial minorities. The spencer clan can have racial diversity thru this kind of casting. Here’s the problem for racial minority actors and particularly Asian american actors. No one hires them and creates roles for them on day soaps. They get no acting experience. And then casting calls are made for soap actors w/ acting experience on soaps only. Casting calls require that the actor is known from prior soaps. How can racial minority actors and especially Asian american actors get acting experience on soaps when there are no day soap operas that hire them? There are no day soap operas w/ any Asian american chars on abc and cbs! None on gh and yet it’s based on a hospital from a fictional town from ny w/c should have Asian americans among the medical storylines. None on days. None on y&r. None on amc. Only recurring chars on oltl. And none on b&b and yet there are tons of Asian american fashion designers! The population of l.a. has more Asian americans compared to African americans. There should be some Asian american chars on b&b. Casting julie spencer as an Asian american char who is adopted would be a good step towards rectifying that problem for b&b. Casting calls like these were part of the factors that made me quit even reading abt the storylines on b&b.

Catherine Hickland…….

Liam’s mother to get into it with Brooke –and Taylor

Liam’s mother is dead and never married Bill.

Julie Pinson.

I’m thinking a cousin.

I like Julie Pinson like others have suggested. I have no clue though and will leave casting up to Brad Bell.

an actress of Loaving please!!! for Italy!!!

Beth Ehlers, Maura West, Kelley Menighan Hensley, Martha Byrne 🙂 theres a few real good ones!!!

Maura West, Martha Byrne or Kelley Menighan Hensley!

Kelly hensley, Martha Byrne (or the actor who played Susan Stewart on As The World Turns)

Genie Frances!

Elizabeth Berkley

I know she’s busy, but Martha Byrne will be perfect for this role!

How do you apply for that position? what type of experience do they need?

I would love to see Martha Byrne back on soap.

Julie Spencer is Quinn.
Bill got fired and he will find a job at the Quinn ‘s
So this is for me very clear that Julie Spencer is Quinn! or can be Bills daughter!!!!
Because Wyatt is for sure Bills son!….This is what I believe.
I AM 12 YEARS OLD AND I AM A PIANIST AND ORGANIST! Thanks to my mom because she is my jewel and I love her so much!
I like all the characters in B&B. I save it ,when I come from the school I am watching it .
I am a A+ STUDENT and I am looking to meet all the characters from the soap opera in Hollywood! I love school, acting and music! This year I will audition for Juilliard NY for Precollege! Good luck and God bless the producer Mr. Bell! With love and respect for all the girls in B&B…….JB! I LOVE YOU KIM MATULA! Thank you for accepting me as a friend on facebook!

Sorry I did a mistake. I am 22 years old!
Thank you again!

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.
