The Young and the Restless Daytime Emmy-winning Shemar Moore (Ex-Malcolm), who went on to star for 11 seasons on Criminal Minds as Derek Morgan was in a courtroom in San Fernando, California on Wednesday of this week.  It all happened because of an actor who guest-starred on two episodes of the CBS procedural drama back in 2013, who pleaded no contest to charges that he stole more than $60, 000 from Mooore! According to the L.A Times: actor Keith Tisdell, 42, agreed to repay Moore, 46, the sum of $61,084.

Prosecutors charged that Tisdell took the money after he befriended Moore when they appeared in the same Season 8 episode. Tisdell was playing a character named Rodney Harrison. Shemar told the judge ahead of the sentencing of Tisdell that, “In bringing that story to life, we became friends. … We went into business together.”

That business Moore is referring to is none other than Shemar’s famous Baby Girl LLC, which sprung out of Moore’s favorite catch-phrase on Criminal Minds,  “Baby girl”.   However, Baby Girl LLC was started as a charity to help battle multiple sclerosis, a disease from which his mother suffered.  Tisdell was involved with the organization. Records show he was arrested on suspicion of embezzlement in January but ultimately admitted to grand theft.

During their friendship, Moore said he bought Tisdell $10,000 rims for his car, funded shared overseas vacations and gave him up to $20,000 to help with expenses. When an audit revealed cash from the organization was missing, Moore confronted Tisdell, who denied stealing the money, the actor said in court.

Shemar went on to say before the sentencing: “I’ve done a lot for him because he had me, my friends fooled.  I’m not here for money. I’m here because he betrayed a friendship. This is not OK. You don’t do this to people.”   In the end, Tisdell’s attorney gave Moore $5,000 worth of money orders. Tisdell has to repay about $56,000 in the near future,  or he could end up in jail.

What do you think about Moore being swindled by his friend and business partner? Do we all need to heed the warning and be much more careful in who we trust in our lives?  And on a side note: do you hope Shemar will come back home to Y&R somehow, someway in the near future?  Share your thoughts below!

hmm
$60,000 .. I could spend that in day, yup..
At the moment I can’t think of anything I’d buy lol I’m good.
0ooh ok– ”travel” that’s it..

no cruiseship.. I couldn’t even be friends with anyone who believes a cruise ship is cool I’d fly 1st class .. ahh the Concord !

glad he got will get his money back.. (wonder what he’ll buy lol)

I had a garage sale…was selling barbie dolls for 25 cents each….someone stole the shoes off five of them!!!

That’s an odd theft, Jimmy! The thief must’ve wanted the shoes for their own dolls or he or she has an even odder foot fetish!

Oh, my, Jimmy. I still have my Barbies. None of them has shoes. That’s quite a feat, my friend. How did your daughter manage to hold on to those tiny little shoes? Mine always got stuck in the vacuum cleaner….Shoes are typically first to go missing on Barbies. LOL.
I’m with 4ever. Weird thief with a Barbie foot fetish.
Poor Shemar!!!! That’s a bummer….not so much the theft ; but being betrayed by a friend. WOW!! We live and learn. Be more visceral in judging people, maybe?

He is not coming back and sorry I adore hm but Idris Elba has filled that position he is the man

The hottest AA man standing everybody else exit left

He should be up lucky.. He’ll probably never work in again what a LOSER

It just goes to show people can’t trust anybody with their hard earned cash.

My God—I feel so bad for Shemar. Nobody deserves this and how he got trampled on is a crying shame. I have had the same done to me but not to the extreme that was done to Shemar. I am glad he will have some closure to this I hope.

KNOW HOW HE FEELS.IT HAPPENED TO MY DAUGHTER AND I ,GLAD HES GETTING HIS MONEY BACK ,I PROBABLY NEVER WILL, I’M BEHIND IN MY BILLS BECAUSE OF IT ,AND EXTREMLY HURT,THIS WOMAN WHO DID IT TO US ,DID IT TO HER MOTHER AND OTHERS AS WELL.

I’M ON PENSION AND MY DAUGHTER WORKS HARD.

Please make a guest appearance on Y&R. The Winter’s family needs you.

poor shemar
u can tell in real lfe he s very humble and down to earth and appreciates his fans
malcolm and olivia need to show up in genoa city like yesterday?!… especially for the 11000 episode

As far as I’m concerned, that Keith Tisdell clown is nothing but an embezzler and a con artist.

Just saying……….

It’s a shame. Glad Shemar took him to court. It is not okay to do that. Shemar did a lot for him, was a very generous friend, and Tisdell took advantage of that.

How long does he have to repay the money? I doubt he’ll be getting other acting jobs.

Now everyone thinks Shemar is gay. Huh. I pray not.

I don’t see any of these comments indicating what you’re suggesting, pat.

You must be referring to comments on other sites or your friend, family and neighbors.

Maybe people think that because there isn’t much documented dating history between Shemar and women. Or is it because he so easily trusted a man with so much of his money? Could it be because he’s been seen with the thief many times at different places? Possibly the concern is Shemar paid the man’s living expenses and had shared vacations together?

For whatever reasons you or others have for suspecting him of possibly being gay, why would you be praying for him to not be gay? He is what he is already. Praying won’t change his sexual orientation.

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.
