A new character will hit The Young and the Restless canvas on August 15th when former The Fosters cast member, Anna Grace Barlow, makes some appearances for a few episodes on the CBS daytime drama series.

Anna will arrive in Genoa City in the role of Zoe Hardisty, according to Soap Opera Digest.

Zoe is said to share, “a surprising connection with a member of Genoa City’s jet set.”  Who will it be?

Y&R over the last few months has made changes in front of the camera with certain actors exiting the show, and other former stars returning to their most soap-famous roles.

So, who do you think Zoe will be connected to on the canvas? What do you think about Y&R’s reset of its show? Comment below.

Look out Kyle! Here comes trouble!

kyle

Someone connected to Chance Chancelor?

I hope so, T. I’d love to have Chance back—–apparently, he’s not the good guy we knew, LOL….ye gods have gone and changed him, if we are to listen to rumor.
I do not like Kyle—-as I have stated many times before, this guy attached himself to Miss Goody Two Shoes, Lola, because she’s ‘different’ in his rich-boy eyes. She’s a novelty to be explored.
Then, there’s menopausal Sharon playing the part of a thirty-year old, it seems…..Plus, wasn’t she in bed with Rey just a few days ago? Where’s the heartbreak?? Nah….doesn’t work thst way unless one’s a sl*t. Nah—doesn’t eirk that way. These writers better put the reins on their ‘ pen’–
She’s old enough to be NuAdam’s Mommy!! More like his Mummy!!
Miraculously, she’ll find herself in a pickle–pregnant. But, whose baby is it? Here we go again—-Rey will be in the same obnoxious situation as he was with Mia–when will they ever learn?
Hey, writers—-please do not repeat the same story over and over again….I beg you.—-do something different for once. Separate these two before the plot becomes a farce.
Sorry for the rant, T……Sharon is gorgeous; looks great for her age. But, c’mon—I feel the same about the age difference between Victor and Nikki. So, I’m not being sexist. I think it’s gross. Adam should not have been aged in the first place. But, since TPTB did, then they should have ‘found’ an actor in his forties to replace Adam—-not someone younger than Noah. He looks his age–
Bye, love….

Join the discussion…Hi Celia! Although a long time viewer, I travelled for about seven which left me bereft of some characters. Who is “Chance”? Not sure I recall. Thanks for your peppy insights. Best!

Tani

Chance is Nina’s son—-remember Nina, who married young Philip?
I am on vacation….took a little respite by checking in—
Talk soon, my friend❤️

Thanks Celia. Yes, I do remember Nina, and I think Philip is recalled. He had an uncanny resemblance to Tom Cruise. Certainly could have my characters confused. Didn’t he jump out of a window or something! Thanks again!

Tani

In agreement again! Sharon is making me crazy! For two years she had it together, but once junior shows up she loses it? Ugh!!!

My guess is someone from kyle and Theo’s time in NY. Another reason for Lola to hold something against Kyle.

I think your guess is a gem, Lew—–the girl in the cab?—–just finished watching —here and there, LOL.
She comes to GC to announce she’s pregnant with Kyle’s baby!!
That must be the “sinful” mystery about kyle’s NYC’s story.
Later, my friend❤️

Yes, Once again Celia we are on the same page! Have a good evening

The show sucks right now – josh is the worse soap writer of all times !

It will be Kyle. His friend Zach is trying to cause trouble between him and Lola .. and he’s annoyed Kyle doesn’t want to play all the time.

Lol another newbie, this chick will be Kyle baby mama, that’s what I heard. Enough with the newbies. Please bring back Nina and the evil Sheila Carter, Grainger, Forrester, Warwick.

It’s Theo – he is bringing her/Zoe in to mess up Kyles wedding.
He wants his buddy back and to get even.
She is from Kyles past..
The soaps are more than obvious lol..

I don’t care for the coupling of Lola and Kyle–
they are beyond boring.
I hope they do break up .

I agree with you. Kyle and Lola, Tessa and Mariah, Devon and Elena: They’re like watching paint dry, but less interesting.

I agree. Paint is actually refreshing!

Hey Timmm…good one…lol. Yep.

Has to be Kyle and someone from his past in NY

No room for Devon’s sister, but adding another to the cast?

If she’s in GC just long enough to drive Lola away, then more power to her.
That said, Y&R is overwhelmed with these new, uninteresting characters.

Probably Kyle since Theo is so jealous and want to blow up Kyle’s wedding.

I suppose everyone’s leaning toward Kyle, and rightfully so. However, just to stir the pot by making it less obvious, I suggest Tessa’s former love interest.

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.
