Check out the Sonny & Carly Collection, and then let us know which was your favorite episode of the bunch via the comment section below!
The Spencer house was long abandon and then blown up…but now its back in perfect condition and the childhood home of Margeuax and her momma Jeanette????????
That set gets reused a lot. I’m fine with that as Frank needs to save on the budget somewhere.
So many scenes take place in the MetroCourt restaurant or Charle’s Pub to save money. They did spend $ to build Laura and Kevin a condo set and Alexis finally meets clients in an office set instead of her home.
We’ll probably see the Q foyer/stairs again as we approach Thanksgiving.
The Sonny centric episode might have been the first time we saw someone actually eat at Mazzolo’s.
Some sets like Metro i dont mind…if Margeaux’s family just rented the place id be fine but its made like she grew up there…cant be…the place was abandon…if it is suppose to still be the Spensers they did a find job with repairs after the explosion-most homes get demolished…they could had at least altered it somewhat but then it is a soap where they reuse actors in other roles too-lol
Pedo Jim lived in that house too. It’s getting a lot of use…. but whomever owns the house seems to only rent it to some very disreputable people.
Presumably Luke still owns the house. If he’s renting to people like that, does that mean he’s regressed into the “Fluke” personality, where ever he is. And would that mean Tracy dumped him again?
They recycle a lot of sets; Anna’s house is the old Chandler mansion from All My Chandler, and Laura’s home is loosely based on Erica Kane and Ava Jermoe’s old penthouses.
The oldest recycled set is Elizabeth’s current house. The kitchen section is new, but the staggered stairs date back to the Webber/Jones/Scorpio house
My favorite episode is when there is no Carly and Sonny….strange the writers can dream up endless stories for them but not Dante, Laura and other characters…well, maybe the can always write for Nina as well!!!!….why cant Laura hire a lookalike Nicholas to haunt Valentin????
haunt Valentin like a Christmas Carol type story…Laura could be the ghost to take him on the journey!!!
We’re on the same page, Jimh. Now, if only the scripts were on that same page…
if the show was on the same page as us it would be brilliant
You know it, Jimh! 🙂
Who would play lookalike Nikolas? It’s rumored that Nikolas returns in the near future (supposedly a new recast, but one with soap experience). Likely part of JPS exit story
No thanks. Sonny and Brenda (90’s version), yes, please! Watching the “What If” episode. I noticed during the opening credits that Willow, Cameron, and Oscar are included (contract players). The show is doomed. (Although, I think the actor that plays Cameron is talented, not interested in the “teen scene”).
They’ve been there for quite some time.
I haven’t watched in ages..
The opening got updated last month, a few weeks after nuJordan debuted, and some other cast changes took place.
The Sonny and Carly Collection? I’ll hurry up and not watch that immediately.
Why is this necessary? With Christmas coming up, I expect to attend a few parties playing the White Elephant Christmas exchange (Michael Scott from The Office called it “Yankee Swamp”). I could see this as the gift everyone would be fighting to get rid of. I mean, who would want this?
Another GH promotion that has ZERO interest for me (and countless other viewers). Anything to do with the character of Sonny is a complete turn off (as in abhorrent, and as in turning off the TV). I will say, however, that both Sarah Brown and Tamara Braun are great actresses. Hey! I ended on an upbeat note!
I loved Tamara Braun as Carly. She had great chemistry with Maurice, unlike the current coupling who are a snooze-fest!
Thanks for the backup, AVP! I’m so with you on the “snooze-fest.” zzzzzzzzzzzzz
it’s truly a funny time… to bear witness to just what exactly is Frank VAlentini wringing out ? that Laura Wright and Maurice Benard are still relevant ? it’s beyond any thing @GH can do. FIRE Shelly and Chris… @ABC/Disney.. FIRE Frank Valentini. this direction of Port Charles has truly bottomed out… ie: the last ratings thread… for the 8th straight WEEK… get it People… @GH has plateaued .. hit the skids on the 18-49 prized demographic… yeah, that’s the stronghold of Women.
why would they hang on ? for ; Sonny / Michael / Jason / Finn / Franco / Peter ??? they have no stimuli.. they add nothing.. because they have no real connect to any one on the canvas. with no personality trait to keep them
outside of looking @. I can’t even get in to Carly and Sam worth. blah
OK. SAW on Soap central…. I WANT THIS… IS Hayden returning ? BECAUSE .. this is Shelly and Chris opportune time to FREE UP ANNA. GIVE US BACK Finola Hughes. that way… Finn and Hayden can leave Port Charles or go back burner and never be missed. ANNA must BE FREE
Frank Valentini: you are either having the last laugh… at the audience expense.. or taking pleasure in caricaturing this once loved show. when you are on record of having the lowest ratings 8 weeks onward. your featured pets are not bringing in the 18-49 desired demographic…. I hope TPTB take note
Thanks for your reply, Patrick. Again, you are preaching to the choir with me! And this “once loved show” was once loved — by me. Now I feel like an ex-spouse after a messy divorce. If only TPTB would listen to us, listen to their ratings, listen to reason! 🙂
James…the last sentence in your post made me laugh…lol. Thanks.
Have a good one, dude.
Love to pieces… Sarah Joy Browne ; Tamara Braun
The old episodes remind me of how much I liked Tamara Braun as Carly. I thought she gave Carly her sensitivity. Tamara had such heat with Maurice.-IMO
Unfortunately, Tamara as Kim Nero is a boring dud!
I’ve been watching a few of the older episodes. Billy Warlock was an awful recast as AJ Quartermaine. He made AJ so unlikeable, along with the writing and character assassination.

George Cheeks, CBS President & CEO, on Timeline to Launch New Daytime Drama, ‘The Gates’: “We’re So Focused on Getting it Right”
March 2024 will be remembered in the TV and soap world when the news broke that CBS is prepping a brand new daytime drama. Many had thought a major network would never bring a new daytime soap into the world, given that the last time it was attempted was 25 years ago when the now defunct Passions bowed on NBC.
However, The Gates is definitely in development and moving forward with some major players associated with it including: Michele Val Jean as The Gates writer, showrunner and one of its executive producers, and Sheila Ducksworth from NAACP Venture
Now, for the first time since its announcement, George Cheeks, the president and CEO of CBS and chief content officer for news and sports at Paramount+, spoke on the project that will feature a Black family as its central focus who live in a wealthy gated community.
Speaking with Vulture, and when asked if The Gates is really something that truly has a chance of getting on the air, Cheeks clarified, “It’s super real. And just to give you a little bit of the backstory, when we hired Sheila Ducksworth to run the NAACP Venture, she and I had multiple meetings talking about what different genres she was going to lean into, and we talked a lot about daytime.”
Cheeks added, “One of the things that the data made very clear to both of us is that daytime soap operas over index with Black women, and yet when you look at soap operas, it’s usually sort of a white-led family with supporting characters that reflect more of our society. So we just thought, wouldn’t it be interesting to flip that and make the core anchor family a Black family, and then make the other characters reflect more the broader scope of society?”
The CEO gave props to Michele Val Jean, and how Ducksworth came to the table with the former B&B and GH writer. “She found this great writer, Michele Val Jean, who’s been in the soap opera space for 30 years. She came up with a pitch, and we loved it,” shares Cheeks. “We brought Procter & Gamble into it as well, because if there were going to be (product) integrations, we could do it more holistically and organically. All of that is to say, we did a lot of work on the front end to put this together. So while yes, it’s development, it’s accelerated development.”
When prodded on the timeline of when The Gates could come to full fruition, Gates related, “The actual timeline and when we’re going to do it is still uncertain, because we want to get this right. I mean, there hasn’t been a new soap opera launch since I can’t even begin to tell you when. But we have great success with Bold and the Beautiful and Young and the Restless, and so we think we’re the right folks to be launching a new soap. I wish I could tell you more about exact timing, but we’re so focused on getting it right, and that will dictate when we’re ready to launch it.”
The CBS exec also shared that whether The Gates will wind up an hour soap or half-hour is not yet determined, but that it is being developed as an hour show.
So, after reading what George Cheeks, the CBS President & CEO had to say about ‘The Gates’, are you even more excited for what looks to the first new network soap in 25 years? Comment below.

51st Annual Daytime Emmy Awards Announce Broadcast Date on CBS
The National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences (NATAS) revealed on Tuesday, that the 51st Annual Daytime Emmy Awards will be broadcast live on Friday night, June 7th (8 – 10 PM, ET/delayed PT) on the CBS Television Network, and available to stream live and on-demand on Paramount+*.
This year will mark the 18th time CBS has broadcast the Daytime Emmy Awards, which is more than any other network.
The 2024 Daytime Emmys will take place at the Westin Bonaventure in downtown Los Angeles. Back in December of 2023, the delayed 50th Annual Daytime Emmy Awards were also held at that venue. The June 7th date for the upcoming ceremony will be the first time in several years that the event is scheduled a few weeks earlier than normal; excluding last year’s revised date to the actors and writers strikes.
Lifetime Achievement honoree, nominations, host, and additional information will be announced in the coming weeks.
In a statement, Adam Sharp, President and CEO of NATAS noted, “We eagerly anticipate our return in June as we once again partner with CBS to recognize the exceptional and talented individuals who make daytime television great. We’re thrilled to kick off our second half-century of the Daytime Emmys.”
The Daytime Emmy Awards have recognized outstanding achievement in television programming and crafts since 1974, honoring work in a variety of categories, including daytime dramas, talk shows, instructional programming, hosting, culinary, and legal/courtroom programs. In 2021, NATAS and the Television Academy jointly announced plans to realign the Daytime and Primetime Emmy Awards to be organized by content genre, as opposed to program airtime.
The 51st Annual Daytime Emmy Awards will once again be produced by NATAS and Associated Television International (ATI), which produced Daytime Emmy Award ceremonies on The CW in 2009 and on CBS in 2010, 2011, 2020, 2021, 2022 and 2023. Adam Sharp and Lisa Armstrong are executive producers from NATAS, while David McKenzie is executive producer from ATI.
So, glad to know that the 51st Annual Daytime Emmy Awards honoring performance and shows in the 2023 calendar year, will be held in early June this year, and once again broadcast on CBS? Comment below.
