As many had already guessed something was up with the status of Sarah Brown, when the three-time Daytime Emmy Award winning actress was not featured in the dazzling new opening sequence of The Bold and the Beautiful that premiered on-air this week!

Brown, who came on with strong story as Aggie/Sandy in November 2009 has been languishing on the back-burner, and while a official show spokesperson confirmed Brown’s drop to recurring status to CBS Soaps in Depth, the show also confirmed to Soap Opera Digest that just because Brown is on recurring does not mean she will not be seen on the series.

On-Air On-Soaps thinks Sarah is one of the best actresses around, and if B&B isn’t going to fully utilize her, then perhaps she might be better served elsewhere. Let us know your thoughts!

It’s BOLD’S lost. Too bad too sad that BBell insist on parading the likes of Hope aka Hopeless and her harem of DULL men over a three time EMMY winner like SJB…..Not to mention the ENDLESS parading of Brooke and Ridge the show’s STUPOR couple who FIZZLED and SIZZLED out way back in the 90s. If BBell thought the 1.9 was something for the PSA EPPY of Nick CIGAR smoking, then let him keep parading the aforementioned characters along with Scamber aka Amber while FAN FAVES like Taylor takes a unspoken recurring status along with John McCook. The show IMO… Read more »

She was never really given a story or a reason to like or dislike her. Its a shame that she can actually act unlike most of the existing cast. Ive kind of given up on this show since the cringe-worthy Thomas/Brooke storyline. Now out of nowhere Thomas has the hots for Daizee?!?!? When Thorne half joked that maybe Thomas was gay I had hope thats the direction teh story would take but apparantly there are no gays in fashion in LA.

They do not want Emmy winners to overshadow their leads.
They are really desperate to get one right now, making one of them looking like Mother of the year!!

The show became all about backstage politics.
Viewers are lost with what is going on with this show.
Repetitious stuff and BORING!!!

I am sick of this lacking of balance of this show. This everybody loves Brooke, Brooke the almighty.. made me dislike the character airhogging all through the year. You have to be involved with her to be on screen no matter what. Some thinks dissing Taylor make her look better and they are wrong. It does not work unless Taylor is on the show, and all the columnists, like NB and this one, SID, SOC are all in on this. They even ignore the portrayer of Taylor and bash her endlessly bullying her on internet. It does not make a… Read more »

General Hospital and ‘H.R. Pufnstuf’s’ Billie Hayes Dead at 96

May 3, 2021

She was one-of-a-kind, and now actress Billie Hayes has passed away at the age of 96. Hayes’ family announced her death from natural causes on April 29th at Cedar-Sinai Hospital in Los Angeles.

Hayes was best-known for her unforgettable role as Witchiepoo on the 1969-70 Saturday morning live-action children’s classic H.R. Pufnstuf from Sid and Marty Kroft.

However, daytime fans will remember that then General Hospital executive producer, Gloria Monty, hired Hayes to play the recurring role of the street-smart international spy, Brighton O’Reilly, back in the 80’s series hey day.

GH’s Tristan Rogers (Robert Scorpio) took to Twitter to mourn the loss of Hayes on Monday sharing; “My dear wonderful Billie Hayes has died. Sadly I only got to work with her on GH but it was a magical relationship. Right away Gloria Monty saw something unique and ran with it. I cannot tell you how her passing saddens me.”

In story, Brighton O’Reilly was shot and killed by Victor Cassadine back in 1981. Billie told Soap Opera Digest back in 2003 about her time as an agent on GH, and her exit from the series: “I asked Gloria why she killed me off, and Gloria said, ‘To tell you the truth, Billie, we really hemmed and hawed at it. But I decided to do it for selfish reasons. I knew if I killed O’Reilly there’d be such an abundance of sympathy and love for Scorpio that his stock would go up. And he’s my new leading man!’ I understand why Gloria knocked me off, but I would have loved to have gone on with it because I feel it could have been developed into a fascinating character.”

Sid and Marty Kroft also took to Twitter and expressed: “Margaret Hamilton (Wizard of Oz) once told us that Billie Hayes was “one of the best witches ever” We couldn’t agree more. Rest in Peace dear friend.”

Billie’s career spanned decades including Broadway, television, motion pictures and voice-over work. In addition, she founded the Los Angeles-based animal rescue nonprofit organization Pet Hope, a cause she had championed since adopting a puppy abandoned in the basement of Broadway’s St. James Theatre during the run of Lil’ Abner in which she was featured in the role of Mammy Yokum.
