Gee, what about the son she had with Nick Marone?

Brooke didn’t have a son a marone

yes the son that Brooke had with Nick Maroni was the child that Brooke’s daughter and nick had. Brooke and her daughter had frozen eggs that got mixed up and Brooke took the baby from her daughter and the child was never seen again.

You are mixing things up! Brooke didn’t take child away from Bridget.Taylor and Nick tried to have baby and tried IVF. Brooke’s eggs were in lab and got mixed up. Taylor gave birth, but biologically it was Brooke’s and Nick’s child. Taylor couldn’t take it and signed her rights away.

The baby was supposed to be Taylor’s. Bridget mixed u0 the eggs Implanted Taylor with Brooke eggs.uggh

Pretty sure All My Children did this first and best with the loves of Erica Kane’s life.

It’s good to see Jack and Winsor back.

Yes, the show was really more appealing to viewers.

Happy to see Nick and Thorne return if only for a moment. and glad to see Winsor Harmon as the Thorne. Loved that actor’s masculine handsome presence and his personification of the now-forgotten and real Forrester son. Show was stronger back in their day.

Loved both these men who succumbed to Brooke’s charms, especially Winsor Harmon, what a guy! The little Valley Girl has made the rounds of Forrester men plus all the others she married and or slept with along the way. Don’t they have an award for her type of talents?

I will love that. Just started watching in the last several years because I watched all of ABC soaps and love your alls’ so much. I wished you all had the hour on your time slot. Great Soap but not enough everyday. Need an hour !! I am 66 and have watched soaps for alot of years !!

Yes,Brooke should move on with Nick. At least see how fast Ridge moved on. Let’s see some romantic dates and adventures. They have chemistry and the show was pretty well received then.

This is certainly great news! Yet I am left wondering why Jack Wagner has not been able to return to General Hospital in many, many years, particularly given repeated prime storyline opportunities.

Hi James

After his brief return for the 50th anniversary in 2013, it was mentioned that Jack was not happy with Frank or the storyline (Frisco coming off as “the bad guy” leading to Mac & Felicia’s rejoining).

Frisco was barely mentioned in the 4+ year Peter storyline – and I can’t recall him being mentioned at all as they wrapped it up over the past few months.

The WSB should’ve had a special interest in helping Maxie as daughter of the one-time (is he still current?) head of the bureau. Even a throwaway line as “Frisco is deep undercover somewhere in South America” could’ve easily explained his absence in rescuing his daughter. Yet, along with Jeff and Lucky, he’ll still be a lead member of the PC deadbeat dad club.

That said, kudos to the writers for quickly making Felicia relevant again. Great seeing her finally being there when Maxie needed her and occasionally focusing on an endearing relationship between Felicia & Mac.

Apologies to B&B fans for going deep into GH history on your thread.

Hey Steve. Thank you for your answer to my query and for providing these details, most of which I didn’t know. The “PC deadbeat dad club” can be an infuriating bunch, particularly if one isn’t familiar with the offscreen dynamics.

Jamesj75. Good question!!! Maxie sure has needed his help and support. And a song at the Nurses Ball would have been nice. If he ca do it for the Women’s Channel, he can visit GH, too.

Thank you for your reply, Rose. I agree that, at the very least, a performance at the Nurses Ball would be most welcome. It’s all I need…

It’s my understanding that he really got pissed off about the way he was treated during his last short visit to Port Charles. Of course that was due to ReRon’s horrible writing, and he’s moved on to ruin a different show for several years now. Which leaves Frank Valentini as the problem, more than likely, since he’s still there.

One might guess he could have an issue working with his ex-wife… except they have worked together on other projects, so apparently they have no issues working together. Whatever the reason, it’s really too bad he couldn’t do GH again. Frisco obviously belonged in the recent storyline resulting in Whiny Heiny’s return to Hell…. both as Maxie’s father AND the so-called leader of the WSB, he should have been front & center in the story, and while I’m OK with Felicia whacking Heiny over the head with a tire iron, she really should have had her ex there as “backup”.

Satan, thank you for filling in all the gaps and for providing context. At certain points, the storyline “screamed” for Frisco’s return, yet no return.

Loved seeing Thorne and Nick. Especially Nick. His character was so important for the show! Still miss him! Such a great presence…

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.

Robyn Bernard, ‘General Hospital’s’ Terry Brock, Dead at 64

Former General Hospital star, Robyn Bernard, who played aspiring singer Terry Brock has died. She was 64-years-old.

Bernard’s body was found Tuesday in San Jacinto, California. A Riverside County Coroner told TMZ they identified the actress’ body using her fingerprints after deputies responded to a death investigation call on Tuesday March 12th.

Sources told the outlet that Bernard’s body was found in the wee hours of the morning. The cause of death has yet to be determined.

Bernard joined General Hospital back in 1984 as Terry Brock, the daughter of the abusive D.L. Brock (played by David Groh). Robyn remained on the ABC soap opera for six years before making her exit in 1990. At one point, Terry’s stepmother would become Bobbie Spencer (the late Jackie Zeman) when the nurse married her father.

Terry was involved in the Laurelton Murders storyline and after first setting her sights on Frisco Jones, wound up with killer Kevin O’Connor. Later, Terry was blamed for several murders and in the end killed Kevin in self-defense. In addition, Terry had a relationship with Dusty Walker played by none other than Shaun Cassidy.  She eventually left Port Charles after landing her own recording contract.

The last time GH Fans may have seen Bernard was in 2014, when she appeared at the GH Fan Club Weekend Past Cast event. Robyn is pictured below with the late Susan Brown (ex-Gail) at the fan gathering. She has been out of the limelight for several years.

In addition to her role on GH, Bernard was featured throughout her TV career on primetime’s Simon & Simon, Tour of Duty and The Facts of Life.

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.

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.
