Seems right thing to do. Ms. Sofer was wonderful as Quinn but there seems very little for her to do now she and Carter are together. Writers wrote character into a corner after years of some crazy stuff. Her son Wyatt is rarely mentioned. May be time to write out Carter, Paris, Paris’s mother… As core characters age, I suggest an end to the waffling and set couples for the course. Build a younger set of compelling characters with their introduction of a new family. I am honk the Sheila story is beyond silly. Too much. I don’t watch like I used to.
Don’t suppose there’s a snowball’s chance in my back yard that she would consider returning to GH? I think it’s about time Lois Cerullo paid a visit to her daughter and some of her old friends from Bensonhurst. Maybe she can talk some sense into Sonny and help rid him of his current Parasite problem??
Satan…Oh yes, bring her back to GH. Remember her coming out of the cake? I loved her as Lois way better than Quinn, who I did like occasionally. Even as a lawyer on NCIS when it was good. Two things…her daughter really needs her help. And she could stand up to anyone, even Carly.
That parasite must be Nina! Wake me when that nightmare relationship is over!
I wish that too. She is an awesome actress
If any one can rid him of Nina, it would be Lois.
Bah-bye
I have so enjoyed Rena’s time on B&B as Quinn! She was particularly strong in 2016 in the storyline she shared with Scott Clifton’s Liam, and all of her scenes with Darin Brooks as her son Wyatt have been extra special too. I wish her well in whatever she chooses to do in the future! (:
Richard…I agree with you on all counts. She and Li (Finn’s mom) are the only two characters I have time for on B&B. Watch fon Li and Diamond Bill pairing up.
rose
I just love Bill and Li together too. I just hope TPTB can see that too.
It’s a big loss to bold she’s absolutely amazing and always made you root for Quinn best of luck Rena you’ll be missed
I can’t believe Rena is leaving I love her playing Quinn I am so upset she was one of my favorite character it’s not going to be the same without her she will be missed ❤️❤️ Well I wish her the best she is a great actress and do great wherever she goes but she will be missed on B&B
Is there gonna be a replacement Quinn or are they killing her off? Hope she dont get eaten by a friggin bear…such stupid s***.
Ok.Now bring Lois back to GH.
She was getting ready to go to the back burner and decided she did not want to do that! Brad is incapable of writing more then one or two stories she is lucky she is getting a send off most of the time you just disappear never to be discussed again.
I haven’t enough words for how I feel about Quinn.Everyone knows the abominable things she’s done and like her anyway. I for one will not miss her.Good riddance.
A visit of ANY duration to Port Charles would be a dream come true! Several opportunities fitting for Lois to become a part of the story; people she could reconnect with onscreen. Just watching how Rena would take her iconic 80s Lois into this stage of life and keep her quirkiness would be something to see! I always loved Lois ❤
Wonderful actress that will be missed. Thanks for 9 years! Quinn cannot be replaced so it may be time to move her to another company/city. What about Wyatt now? Agree that B&B needs to add a new family to rival the Forrester’s business. The same triangles are getting old.
Besides the GH possibilities, I would love for her to bring Mark Harmon back to NCIS. Even though she’s not a red-head, she had great chemistry with Gibbs.
Susan
I watched NCIS every week, and I can say I’ve never seen Rena Sofer on that show.
Violet…Rena played a strong lawyer for a bad guy Gibbs was after. She stood up to Gibbs. In fact there was a little “give-and-take” going on between them at times.
Susan…I used to watch NCIS. Liked arena when she played a lawyer on the show. But after Mark and Ziva let it hasn’t been the same. So I don’t watch anymore.
Correction…liked Rena, not arena.

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.
