Courtesy/NBC

NBC has very high hopes for their new dramedy This Is Us, and from the looks of its just released first trailer, it looks poignant, dramatic, and funny.

In This Is Us, The Young and the Restless Justin Hartley (Adam Newman) plays Kevin, who from the looks of the trailer is having a difficult time on set as an actor.

From writer/executive producer Dan Fogelman and executive producers John Requa, Glenn Ficarra, Jess Rosenthal and Charlie Gogolak, the series focuses on the lives of several people who all share the same birthday and so much more.  Milo Ventimiglia and Mandy Moore, Sterling K. Brown, Chris Sullivan, along with Hartley are just some of the leads in the ensemble cast.

Justin tweeted on Monday: “So excited for you all to see This Is Us. Laugh and cry with us. This fall on @NBC”

Nice cakes in the opening shot Milo Ventimiglia.. thank you Michael FairMan LOL

Bad news, good news. This show looks great. I’ll be watching for sure. But that means Justin is probably gone from Y & R. I wish they would bring MM back if that happens. I know, I’m probably dreaming.

I don’t think that Justin will leave Y&R, especially now, when they hired his girlfriend. As I read, he will work on both shows. It is nothing new for him, he did this in the past 🙂

I doubt very much Justin is going anywhere. He loves working at Y&R. He joked on a red carpet interview he did at this years emmy’s that he was looking forward to ‘carpooling’ to work with Chrishell. He has worked on 2 shows in the past so he can do this very easily. Genoa City needs Adam.

No employer ever can bring back an employee who may have been less than appropriate with another employee. Those were the rumors, right?

He’s a very good actor. But employment law isn’t going to allow the rehire of someone with that in their immediate past. Sorry

CBS never said he did anything like that. Neither did King. He has vehemently denied that and said he would take legal action if anyone said he did. So, there is NO proof that rumor is true. His co-stars made some comments about him doing something bad, but never said what it was. And they should not be privy to any HR issues anyway.

Isn’t this nonsense old news. Lets get back to Justin.

It looks good..
Seems to have a little bit of everything/variety ..
I’ll tune in ..

This looks GREAT!!!!

It looks great. I can’t wait to see it. Justin Hartley is a fantastic actor and I hope this is just the beginning of a wonderful career for him. I honestly believe he belongs on the big screen & it’s just a matter of time before we see it happen.

I totally agree!!!! His acting is on point, he is gorgeous and so talented ❤

I have been watching young and Restless for 44 years and this guy has been the best actor ever. There is no need to let him disappear but there are many reasons he should stay on this show. I live for the young and restless and Justin Hartley just makes that show real..

I wish him every success. Buona Fortuna

It looks like a very interesting concept and the ensemble looks great. I look forward to seeing the show.

With Crazy Stupid Love under his belt, I didn’t expect anything less. Looks like a hit to me! Kudos for finding and hiring Justin Hartley.

Can’t wait. I’ll be watching. (You’ve still got it, Adam…er…Justin.) 🙂

Kind of like saying good bye when your kids go to college. When you see them again they will have moved forward and are just not quite the same.

Best of wishes to Justin as he progresses. He has that certain something with great potential if he keeps working on it and maintaining his seemngly kind nature which is always appealing.

Looks like it has a good storyline and wonderful actors!!! I hope it is a hit. BUT if we would lose Justin Hartley, Please Y & R- bring back Michael Muhney- the original and BEST Adam Newman ever!!!!

Correction !!! Michael Muhney was not the original Adam 🙂

Your right Chris M.M. was not the original actor who played Adam and remember Sally that’s your opinion Justin Hartley is the Best Adam Newman we ever had.

B.T.W. Chris wasn’t the first Adam Newman Chris Engen who quit because his character had to kiss the lawyer guy? I think it was back when he was doing stupid things like sticking needles in his eyes? Anyways all JMO.

Ok Nikki, you are right about ChrisEngen being the first Adam, who was forgettable, So I will say again, Michael muhney was the BEST Adam ever and always will be. I have been watching Y & R since the very beginning! And it never been so stupid and have repetative storylines over and over again! Some days I wonder why I waste my time watching it!!!

Muhney made Adam Newman into a great character. It’s just the truth. To deny that is silly jealousy.

I like what I see…so far…

The trailer looks really good!

Dan Fogelman is a talented actor/writer so I assume the show will be quality. Loved Justin since Revenge and Milo is great. Hope it’s good but let’s see if the actual show garners as much interest as the promo!

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.
