The revamped and retooled The View has its season premiere on Monday morning, September 15th, on ABC. With a new executive producer in tow, a new studio home, a new look, and a brand new mash-up of co-hosts, can The View return to glory and enchant the viewers?
Whoopi Goldberg is the only remaining co-host from last season, and she will be joined by the returning Rosie O’Donnell, and first time panelists; Rosie Perez and Nicolle Wallace! Just the other day the first group photo of the new The View gals was released (pictured here).
As well in some recent electronic press interviews, O’Donnell revealed one of her reasons to returning to the fold: “What drew me back was the opportunity to work with Whoopi Goldberg. I have admired her since I saw her in her first one-woman show, back when we were both younger and less gray.” Rosie also offered up who’s trulu the brains of the new panel: “Nicolle is much smarter I ever will be. She probably would kick my ass on the SATs.”
Nicolle Wallace offered up: “I’d love to hear what my co-hosts think about this country maybe having to do something to protect ourselves from these new terrorists Isis. I think people want to hear what Rosie O’Donnell and Whoopi Goldberg and Rosie Perez think about things.”
So are you interested in hearing what the four ladies have to say about numerous topics each morning? Do you think this configuration will be a success? Are you going to check the revamped line-up? Let us know!
lol!!!
yuck!
I have watched the view for about 10 minutes at different times..
It is noisy lol … they just talk about nonsense stuff.. ..
It was a bit horrible when they all laugh once at at each other.. LOUD!
I do not like it .. It is meaningless ..
I’m sure others enjoy it, but not for me ..
Rosie looks great! I will give it a chance as I have not watched this show in years.
This show is heading down the tubes and lost its freshness long ago. It seems like this is sort of a last ditch effort to save it. Honestly, how many times can the panelists, who always talk at the same time over each other, be changed on this show before most people are turned off of it?
Rosie O’Donnell, again? No thanks. I couldn’t care less what that overbearing loudmouth thinks about anything. She wore out her welcome years ago on her former daytime talk show.
Agreed – she’s totally obnoxious –
this show has had it – if ABC had half a brain they would bring back
a combo of ONE LIFE TO LIVE with overtones of ALL MY CHILDREN –
That’s what they should do, not this crap –
Why on earth they would rehire Rosie O’Donnell is beyond me! The way she acted in that infamous show of her argument with Elisabeth Hasselbeck should have closed the View door to any return ever!
I also expect her to butt heads with Whoopie. When Rosie was on previously, she was the moderator (in control of the conversation); she won’t want to take a backseat to Whoopie. I’m no fan of Whoopie either. Whoopie always makes sure Whoopie gets her points across and routinely cuts off the other panelists, particularly if they disagree with her. Whoopie also loves to play devil’s advocate and often promotes bizarre reasoning. Rosie won’t stand for this. I can see the split screens now…
The way Rosie acted? Listen, it’s TPTB from ABC who split the screen who are the real culprits here. They exploited the heck out of the fight between those two women while playing it for it is worth.
Rosie is great, she looks great after losing the weight and today she seemed like she was trying real hard to tone it down. Whoopi also looked great and is always a sight for sore eyes. They paid a very touching homage to Joan Rivers and spoke of Robin Williams.
I don’t watch The View but will try and tune in from time to time because I really adore both Whoopi and Rosie.
Anyone who argues with Elizabeth Hasselbeck is okay by me. Go Rosie!
Hi, James. I get what you are saying, but everyone deserves a second chance. As you have indicated, O’Donnell had a ‘beef’ with Elizabeth. They never did mesh. I like Rosie O and also like Rosie P. So, it remains to be seen…I hope it is all for the good.
I am beyond happy to see Whoopi stay put. I love her so much…what a delight to listen to her no-nonsense comments….she is both honest and diplomatic…..and, lest I forget; her humor never gets old or mundane. If anyone can keep order in ‘the court’ that is the view, it is Whoopi. I will always be, along with my Mom and Gran, a loyal fan…..I love you, Whoopi.
I am embarrassed to say that I have never heard of Nicole Wallace. Should I have? I wish her and all the ladies the best VIEW season ever.
The View is so bland now. Hot topics is so annoying, it sounds like a public service announcement.
They’re just trying out their sea legs, Lou. It felt a little awkward but they’ll get there.
I think Whoopi is very sad about losing her very dear friend Robin Williams and she is just trying to hold it together. It can’t be easy for her.
Bland? Is that why a certain ‘TALK’ show mimics it?…. Down to the number of hosts (originally 5) to sitting at ‘THE’ table.
At least, there is always one panelist with a little more education than the school of Black Sabbath.
These talk shows are full of narcissistic hypocrites who pretend their behavior and lives are much fuller and honest than the people they’re gossiping about. I’ll stick with Oprah, at least I know she’s coming from a good place.
The only place Oprah comes from is narcissism. She’s the worst of them all.
Oprah is an open book and far from narcissistic. There’s nothing wrong with having pride in your accomplishments, she went from nothing to a self made billionaire without stepping on any toes and she has always treated people with the upmost respect. These talk shows, news shows and radio shows believe humiliating people, gossiping, talking over one another and making assumptions about someone’s personal life based on tabloid rumors is entertainment.
Tyler…it is called entertainment…some of us like it, some of us don ‘t. That ‘s not to say I don’t miss Oprah…I love her to the hilt. But, she’s one of a kind and she is hard to compare to any other. There are a chosen few in this world….she is one of them.
I LOVE THE VIEW. By the same token, you are entitled to your opinion……let’s not call the kettle black….who is narcissistic ?
A bunch of cackling hens talking over each other. I will only watch (on you tube) for the inevitable bitch-fight between Rosie O and Whoopi. You know it’s coming!
I watched for awhile and then had to stop.There is no chemistry anymore.I felt so bad for whoppi.The show is horrible.
Well I just finished watching it, as I taped it only for curiosity… it was dull and boring. A lot of forced happy smiles… I absolutely cannot imagine this show going past this year.
They called it the new view, and the craziest thing was it opened by kissing Barbara Walters hand as she was seated in a throne, as the Queen. It was absolutely ridiculous! Whoopis face during that was hilarious, you gotta watch that just for the laugh! Can you even imagine? LOL!
ABC better get ready to find another replacement.
On another note, I also taped the first 2 shows of Meredith V’s new show and found it very lackluster. I liked Meredith, I think she is a genuine good hearted person, but I don’t think she will carry a show. I know it is still new and I don’t think it’s fair to prejudge, but I watched 2 shows last week ( hello DVR) and won’t be tuning in again.
I like to put these shows on while I am making dinner after work but I was not at all engaged, just noise. Sorry Meredith. 🙁
Quit watching Years ago. All they would ever do is scream and talk over each other. Plus I can NOT stand Rosie Odonnel! I got grass to watch grow instead of watch that!
We live in a world where Rosie O’Donnell is on abc daytime and Erika Slezak is not. That’s sad.
they need to get hack to the around the table… like adults and talk it out
that seating setup was too much posturing…. staid… polite… and formal
I don’t expect to see cat fights…..
all the producers have to do is watch the talk.. and get that their 4 personalities manage quite well around the table in a close knit fit
Whoopie, Rose P., and Rosie O… have wonderful personalities to share….
just cut to the chase and leap forward
I also thought the set was too bright and colorful…
if that’s the case… go with it…. enliven spar… shared whit… and just enjoying how easy it would be to enjoy their personalities…..
I like The Talk. That’s an example of four women with sometimes differing opinions/perspectives who manage to discuss it while being fun, funny and entertaining. For the most part a very feel-good show.
By contrast, I detested The View…opinionated, judemental, sometimes racist, sometimes anti-semitic…very combative.
Why is this story even on this soap related website. I don’t care…
BUT — it would have been nice if ABC would have spent actual advertising dollars on the soaps. Maybe the audience wouldn’t have disappeared.. Just wish this show would vanish…
As mentioned above I watched The View on off hours years ago. Started off good…degenerated quickly. I tuned in to see the new panel and for me, it’s not working. It’s uncomfortable…they’re trying so hard to not argue that it’s awkward. However, I saw a glimpse of what’s to come and I don’t like it. Example:
The woman with the Republican point of view, Nicole Wallace, said she felt Joe Biden worked well with others because he genuinely liked people. Obama didn’t work well with others because she feels he doesn’t like people.
Rosie O’Donnell’s response? (And I’m paraphrasing…)
“So when Kanye West said that Bush didn’t like black people that became an international incident. Why is it okay for you to say Obama doesn’t like people?”
Whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy make the Wallace statement a race issue!? She didn’t say Pres. Obama didn’t like white people…she said people. Instead of digging a little further to hear why she felt that way…Rose throws the race card out and then they cut to another topic.
I find that kind of “discussion” infuriating. Won’t be tuning in…not even during insomniac nights OnDemand…
It is just as bad when a certain panelist on THE TALK makes cultural slurs against Italians. My mother-in-law, who is Italian-born was so upset, she called the network in California. Of course, nothing was done about it because Julie Chen’s husband is the producer of that show.
I live in Suffolk County, NY….which includes Southampton…..a lot of gossip circulates in these small communities.I had already stopped watching when Leah Remini and Holly Robinson were fired…..two reasons why I started watching in the first place….all because of behind-the-scenes politics.
My point? It is the same anywhere and everywhere. I have yet to hear anything untoward come out of Whoopi’s mouth. I love her and respect her and I will keep watching.
I turned off Whoopi on several occasions: one when she resented non smokers having a problem with her smoking in her apartment building. I can tell you…smoke travels. She was quite selfish about it…also didn’t like the fact that smokers couldn’t smoke in restaurants, etc. I am ADAMANTLY against smoking…and I thought it was great when the law went into effect that smokers couldn’t smoke in the workplace, restaurants, bars, etc. It is the right of people to breathe healthy air; if smokers want to inhale cancer-causing substances they should gather together and live in the same building, go to the same restaurants, etc…and smoke each other out. NOW that she stopped smoking…she supposedly doesn’t like smoke.
She defended Mel Gibson’s anti-semitic film and rants. I’m not sure she would have felt the same way had he made racially charged statements and a film.
Lost a lot of my respect for her then. On top of that, each time someone speaks and she doesn’t agree she puts her eyes up in her head and gives a look to the audience…and shouts anyone down as if her wise opinion is the only correct one.
Shame; have always loved her films. Great actress/comedienne. Too opinionated for my taste.
Of course I agree with you, rebecca. No one in my family smokes. Well, I need to back up……my sister and her husband started puffing on these ‘fake’ things….drives me up the wall….not cool. So, I understand, albeit Whoopi has stopped smoking, or so she says. She makes me laugh, and honestly I needed that….I went to hell and back during my pregnancy…I thank God for a healthy baby.
The other stuff, I seem to be oblivious to it. I have never heard Whoopi support Mel Gibson…..surprising, since I think he’s not all there. I did not watch much TV (usually caught up at night). I was on bed rest for almost my entire pregnancy….so, I became addicted to TV, mainly daytime …..I was so bored…my Mom spoils me…..I am the baby…lol…I normally live a pretty busy life…..work, home, family….soon I will get back to that. Maternity leave is almost over…..
To be honest, I am very surprised about Whoopi. She sounds so altruistic and fair on THE VIEW.
But, as I said, I would rather watch THE VIEW than the hypocrisy and bloated egos congregating on THE TALK. There is so much I would like to say about a certain Brit, but, I must hold my tongue, n’est-ce pas?
Hi CeeCee…so funny running into you “here” instead of over “there.” LOL!
So sorry you had a difficult pregnancy and congratulations on your baby!
I’m surprised at your impressions of The Talk. I didn’t notice anything offensive…but we all notice different things depending on our sensitivities.
As for Mrs. O…I do believe you can say whatever you want about Sharon…I won’t tell. 😉
I find her very blunt, crude yet entertaining. She’s also a hypocrite. I remember how she made dreadful fun of Susan Boyle. Do you know who she is? She won Britain’s Got Talent…very beautiful opera-type voice but unfortunately not very physically attractive. Mrs. O was on a radio show and proceeded to make fun of her looks…oh my gawd…she was ragging on her and laughing hilariously with the male dj’s at poor Susan’s expense…
Kicker is…Sharon’s had a lot of plastic surgery and used to be very overweight. Of all people she should have been sensitive to Susan. But I’m thinking it came from insecurity. She’s so happy with how she looks now…and was reveling in being accepted by the dj’s…that it made her feel good…I can almost understand it psychologically and think she didn’t even do it with malicious intent…but still, it was disgraceful and I haven’t forgotten that when I see her. Moreso…because on The Talk she acts so appalled if someone puts down another woman, etc…as if she never said what she said.
But I digress…never heard her say anthing about Italians. The show seems so goodnatured to me and they never talk about race or religion; if sensitive subjects come up it’s handled very well and without anger/accusations/antagonism…
And no, I don’t think you need to hold your tongue on such matters! Speak away!!! 😉
Hi CeeCee,
I just wanted to CONGRATULATE YOU on your recent bundle of joy…Ga Ga Goo Goo!!!!! Sorry…the BIG KID IN ME couldn’t resist…LOL!!!!! And I hope that your baby is happy, healthy and smiling. Yes. Again…CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!
Take care, CeeCee. Peace.
@jaybird…thank you for your well wishes….peace out, right back ‘atcha’.
The “View” : had it’s BEST season premiere ratings : in 8 years
thank you….. and thank you…. fans of
two Rosie’s
and I love them both
along with Whoopie
I’m just smiling… that Rosie Perez is ON an every day basis
she’s spitfire, present, adorable, and cute as a button
Thank you, Rebecca1! In regard to Whoopi and her eye-rolling looks of disgust, my friends thought I was exaggerating. Some of it was during interviews on the couch w/guests as well, which is double rude. I couldn’t find anything wrong w/Sherri or Jenny’so line of questioning or conversations w/guests, I concluded it might be a control for individual air -time, a power trip, or backstage chaos. For years now the tension between the hosts on that set has seemed so palpable to me. Yikes! That must such for the guests.
Meredith Vieira and Joy Behar were my favorites. I didn’t see those power trips from Meredith. I’m not going to watch anymore anyway, so my last comment about the new panel is that I wish they had hired a twenty-something instead of having 2 just 2 years of apart in age like the 2 Roses are.
Hi Laurie. You’re welcome! LOL…I don’t know how your friends could have missed the eye rolling (if they watched the show)…she did it every episode!
Have to disagree with you though on Sherri and Jenny…and don’t even get me started on Elizabeth!!! Couldn’t stand any of them.
Liked Sherri at the beginning. (Saw her in a few movies as well as DWTS and liked her as an entertainer.) But the more she talked about her religion and her son the more I couldn’t bear her. And anything racial was a very heated topic with her.
Jenny? Once you make a stupid comment like The Jews know how to make money…and don’t see anything wrong with that comment…ya lost me. And…she seems a bit full of herself. I love Dancing With The Stars (commented about that on another post) and I believe when she was asked to do it she replied that it was for has-beens and not for people of her celebrity…something to that effect.
Elizabeth? The most pompous, self-righteous know-it-all…and again…one of many stupid statements:
An Italian Catholic actor was on…can’t think of his name now…and she asked him if it “bothered” him that people thought he was Jewish. (As you might tell…anti-semitism doesn’t sit well with me, to put it mildly.) I think both Elizabeth and Sherri turned it into a show about their kids and their religion. Very off-putting and polarizing.
The View started out as a great show: I agree with you. Meredith was great…I do like Joy…I think Lisa Ling is very intelligent and likeable….
I hear what you’re saying about age…Nicole Wallace is the youngest. I think she’s 42; Rosie Perez is 50, O’Donnell 52, Goldberg 58.
They started out wanting to represent women of all ages with different points of view…they left that to focus on diverse race and politics.
Hi rebecca1,
1. RIGHT ON about Meredith Vieira, Lisa Ling and Joy Behar!!!!! Meredith will always be my ALL-TIME FAVE!!!!!
2. I have been such a BIG FAN of Joy’s ever since her stand-up comedy days.
3. More and more, I L-O-V-E to watch Lisa on her current show Our America…which airs on OWN. I usually watch it on OWN On-Demand. Rebecca, if you haven’t seen it, here’s a brief rundown and all: Every week, Lisa Ling travels from state and state and all to do realistic and hard-hitting interviews. But, Lisa does this with A LOT of intelligence, sensitivity and understanding!!!!! Girlfriend, if you want to, you ought to check it out. Trust me…Lisa’s Our America show is that A-W-E-S-O-M-E!!!!!
4. Rebecca…h-o-n-e-y…EVEN MORE RIGHT ON ABOUT Elisabeth Hasselbeck and Jenny McCarthy!!!!! And…I am adding that INSUFFERABLE D-I-V-A Star Jones (Remember her?) to my DISLIKE LIST.
5. The more that Elisabeth CONSTANTLY TALKED every week on The View…that’s how EVEN MORE SO that I kept rooting for Elisabeth’s O-F-F button…LOL!!!!! Yep. And, I think that Elisabeth’s husband Tim (that football player dude) is just as DORKY as Elisabeth is. Yep.
6. I think that ABC messed up BIG-TIME when they subjected us to that Jenny airhead. Thank God that Jenny is no longer on there aka GOOD RIDDANCE!!!!!
7. Rebecca dear, if you disagree with me about Star Jones…that’s COOL with me. Understandable. But I gotta say…I CANNOT STAND Star!!!!! 3 reasons why: (1) When Star married her (now) ex-husband Al Reynolds, she (for some reason) was BEYOND OBSESSED with getting tons and tons of FREE STUFF for her wedding…which PISSED OFF A L-O-T of people associated with the planning and all of Star’s wedding. (2) IMO, Star acts like such an arrogant, bullying and condescending know-it-all. I CANNOT STAND people like that!!!!! And…of the 3…I H-A-T-E bullying/bullies the most!!!!! (3) IMO Part 2, Star will EMOTIONALLY RUN OVER A-N-Y-O-N-E to get what she wants. Bottom Line Here: Star Jones D-I-G-U-S-T-S me!!!!!
8. Lastly…Rebecca, thank you for listening. More and more, you’re A-W-E-S-O-M-E!!!!! Thanks a bunch.
Take care, Rebecca. XOXOXOXOXO
Hi Jaybird369…
LOL…I’ve read some of your posts. To quote an old “groovy” expression…you’re a trip! 😉
Thanks for your response and yes…I agree with everything you said!
Lata!
Hey there Rebecca1,
My dear…more and more, your posts are PERFECTLY SPOT-ON!!!!! And…as far as I’m concerned, you REFUSE to hold back. Thank You. Girlfriend, personality-wise, you are A-C-E-S all the way!!!!! Not to get too personal or whatever, but, if you have a husband or a boyfriend…I hope that your fella knows how VERY LUCKY he is to have you in his life. Yes.
Rebecca, as I’m closing for now, as me and my people/peeps VERY RESPECTFULLY say back in Louisiana aka Cajun Country…LATER GATOR!!!!!
Peace.
Once again, jaybird369, you put a smile on my face! Thanks for the compliments…back at ya! Cajun County…I loved New Orleans…but spicy food, how shall I put this mildly (no pun intended…well…pun should be intended…kinda works!) burns my face off!!!! But those beignets and funky music…heaven!
Rebecca,
Hello, dah’ling!!!!! Emotionally speaking, you flatter me. Suddenly…I’m blushing…LOL!!!!! Anyway, at age 46, I STILL L-O-V-E spicy food!!!!! And, emotionally speaking…I CANNOT get W-I-L-D if my food is MILD!!!!! Oh, I am too much…LOL!!!!! Ah, yes…New Orleans. New Orleans aka my deceased mom’s (Rest In Peace, Ma.) hometown. Oh, the memories!!!!!
Have a good one, Rebecca. XOXOXOXOXO
All My Children
Mark Consuelos Celebrates Kelly Ripa’s 56th Birthday on ‘Live,’ But Remember When Wendy Williams Outed the Couple as Married Before Anyone at ‘All My Children’ Knew?
On the Friday, October 2 episode of Live with Kelly and Mark, the morning talk show marked the 56th birthday of Kelly Ripa (ex-Hayley Vaughan Santos, All My Children).
During the opening segment, Mark Consuelos (ex-Mateo Santos, All My Children) humorously comparing his wife to both Gandhi and Groucho Marx, reflecting on both her comedic ability and peaceful ways.
Later, they went on to discuss the origins of her name and the most popular picks to name babies back in the year she was born, 1970. They were Kimberly, Lisa, and Jennifer for girls and Michael, David, and James for the boys.
WHAT’S IN A NAME?
Ripa recalled that she learned she was almost named Kim. However, their neighbors at the time had two daughters Kelly and Kim, which is what her parents wanted to call them, but they settled on Kelly and and her younger sister, Linda.
At the conclusion of the episode, Mark rolled out a huge cake for his wife. It was, “Happy birthday from all of us here at Live and at home.” Next, he cut the cake, and Ripa grabbed his face and gave him a “thank you” kiss.

KELLY AND MARK TRIED TO KEEP THEIR VEGAS WEDDING ON THE DOWN LOW
All of this brings back memories of how Kelly and Mark’s Las Vegas wedding ceremony went public in 1996 while the two were still on All My Children playing Mateo Santos and Hayley Vaughan. In essence, they were outed by then radio host Wendy Williams! They discussed it on the talk show back in 2024.
In fact, the duo hid their marriage from their All My Children castmates for months, until they found out Williams got wind of the nuptials and spread the intel on the airwaves.
The two recalled their secret wedding on a 2024 episode of Live! “We’d eloped. It’d been a few months at that point. We’d been married for three months, nobody at All My Children knew we were even dating, much less married to each other. We’re brushing our teeth and we’ve got Wendy Williams’ radio show on. We’re listening, and she’s like, ‘I’ve got celebrity dish!”
EYEWITNESS
Next Ripa continued, “The celebrities,’ I guess they had a broad use of the term back then, was the fact that ‘two soap stars from All My Children, Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos eloped in Las Vegas.’ There was this eyewitness that worked in the Clark County courthouse that said we eloped, and the news broke, and we had to tell everybody we were married.”
Live With Kelly and Mark airs weekdays in syndication. Check your local listings for times in your area.
Share your birthday wishes for Kelly in the comment section, and let us know your thoughts on how Wendy Williams broadcast the news, unbeknownst to the All My Children newlyweds, that they tied the knot in Vegas?

TUNE-IN: ‘Beyond the Gates’ Banneker Homecoming Episodes, EP Sheila Ducksworth Speaks on Impact HBCUs Have in Real Life
As previously reported, kicking off today, is a two-part Beyond the Gates, when The Duprees gather to celebrate Banneker University’s homecoming weekend.
The producers and writers are taking an opportunity to spotlight the rich traditions of the long-held tradition of attending Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) through its fictional university.
The episodes are today on CBS and stream on Paramount+ on Friday, October 2 and next week on Monday, October 5, where in true Beyond the Gates fashion, there will be some surprising drama that ensues when someone shows up!

BANNEKER REFLECTS THE IMPORTANCE OF HBCUS
Sheila Duckworth, (executive producer, Beyond the Gates) spoke to Soaps.com to give some insight on the decision for the series to illustrate the ties that bind with HBCUs.
“It was important that we have this school as almost a character on our canvas, right from the beginning. Beyond even education, HBCUs have been pivotal when it comes to everything from economic progression and fostering a sense of community to the development of leadership skills,” explained Ducksworth. “From the beginning, we wanted to illustrate that what the Duprees are able to do in the world was a direct reflection of the impact HBCU’s have in real life.”
EVERYTHING HAS ITS PURPOSE
The EP talked about how purposeful the elements that integrate Banneker into the overall story of Beyond the Gates are including: the Dupree family door knocker that is a lion, the mascot for the fictional university, plus, the upcoming fight song that the cast will sing together on the Monday, October 5 episode, and the painting the hangs at Fairmont Crest.
That portrait of Vernon Dupree’s (Clifton Davis) father, George Cheeks Dupree, that hangs prominently at the country club, was named after CBS executive George Cheeks (now Chairman of TV and Media, Paramount), and as Ducksworth says of the legacy of Vernon’s father, “He was the architect of Fairmont Crest.”
So, are you looking forward to these episodes honoring HBCU traditions with the Dupree and the Richardson clans? What surprises do you think might be in store come next week? Let us know via the comment section below.

‘General Hospital’ Alum Tajh Bellow Fills In for ‘Days of our Lives’ Tyler Joseph Andrews in the Role of Theo Carver
After an earlier post on Thursday, October 1 about General Hospital alumni Tajh Bellow’s (ex-TJ Ashford) upcoming project from Issa Rae’s HOOPAE Digital, comes word that Bellow is temporarily stepping into the role of Days of our Lives Theo Carver to fill in for Tyler Joseph Andrews on the Peacock streaming soap opera.
According to TV Insider, Bellow will be making a one-day appearance next week on the October 6 episode of DAYS as Andrews was unable to make the tape date that was shot 10 months ago on a day last December. Andrews (pictured below) took over the role of Theo in September of 2025.
In Bellow’s upcoming episode as Theo, he will share scenes with Cherie Jimenez (Gabi Hernandez). A DAYS spokesperson tells the outlet that Bellow “stepped seamlessly into the role, and the cast and crew were grateful for his professionalism and commitment, albeit for only one episode.”

TAJH WILL BE SEEN IN MULTIPLE PROJECTS IN OCTOBER
As General Hospital fans know, Tajh played the role of TJ Ashford from 2018 to his last appearance in December of 2024. Along the way, he received two Daytime Emmy nominations for his performances as TJ, the last being in 2025 in the Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Daytime Drama Series category.
In addition, bellow along with Y&R alum Loren Lott will be seen starting on October 14 in the new Love Island spoof series, The Compatibility Experiment. The show will drop exclusively on TikTok and the PineDrama platform.
The Compatibility Experiment gives a satirical look at reality dating shows, think Love Island! The story centers around Kelvin (Bellow) and Camila (Lott), whose relationship is put to the test when they join a reality show to try to win a the million dollar prize.
So, what do you think of Tajh stepping in for Tyler Joseph Andrews as Theo on DAYS? Perhaps, the soap opera liked his work that he might be considered for another role in the future bringing Bellow back to the soaps? Let us know your thoughts via the comment section below.
