After the news a month ago that Sofia Pernas (Marisa) was now recurring on The Young and the Restless, the talented actress landed a gig on the upcoming CW pilot Transylvania.

Now comes word from Pernas herself that she is back taping new episodes in Genoa City.  Sofia posted on her Instagram a photo of herself with Robert Adamson (Noah) and Alyvia Alyn Lind (Faith).

The actress expressed: “Aways the greatest working with these two; little Aly is always the most professional one on set, no lie #yr #confessions #mondaymood”

Pernas will be seen next on the May 5th episode of the CBS Daytime drama.

Are you hoping there continues to be more Marisa on Y&R? Comment below!

I don’t like Marisa at all, she is very annoying. I want Noah to be gay, and pair him up with Kevin Fisher.

I like Marissa — just not with Noah. I would prefer to see Noah with a new girl who would be about his age level. I don’t think it would be believable to see him with Kevin.

I think the Koah combo would be a great match.

Carol: I swear you read my mind. They’d be a couple worth tuning in for. Not sure the network could handle the Heat from those two gorgeous, unlucky-in-love men. But I sure could.

Except that Kevin Fisher wants to be with Natalie.

Why? Marisa is a needless character. Sofia Pernas is very beautiful and talented, but the character is not needed. Hopefully Marisa returns to take Luca out of town, because he’s another character who’s aggravating and useless.

And while they’re at it, send Natalie packing too, I can’t stand her. Side note: does the actress remind anyone else of Elizabeth Hendrickson, with the way she speaks and acts? She could be her younger sister, easily.

Jimmy…I (also) CANNOT STAND Natalie!!!!! And…that recent and so-called ‘makeover’ has made Natalie EVEN MORE ANNOYING!!!!! Truly lame.

Jaybird: I know! Who’d have believed she was actually cuter before !

I actually like Natalie and the actress who plays her.

I noticed the resemblance from day one,–who knows maybe Esther had another kid she forgot giving birth to or gave away off screen and Natalie is her–LOL

agree with Jaybird, Natalie is annoying.

Marisa should have left with Marco!

The actress who plays Natalie should have been a Chloe recast!

IF they are not casting more of Luca’s family, especially his father to go toe to toe with Victor, dump him!

No, I’m not hoping there will be more Marisa. Don’t like the character and don’t like Marisa with Noah.

Clap clap clap clap clap

They brought Kyle back to end his relationship with Glummer, hopefully she will return to end her smooch fest with Noah and leave town FOREVER!

Yes!

I’d rather see Jessica Leccia in the role. Imo.

We need her on for good, I like her and I am glad that she Latin/Hispanic and it’s good for the show to show and keep minorities on board.

I cannot believe all the comments about not wanting her on it- WOW crazy idiots!

More minorities Y&R !!!!

The Winters clan is well represented on the show and their story lines suck!

It has nothing to do with her being a minority. The character does not add anything to the show and I don’t like her with Noah.

The problem with me as far as Marissa is that she is one in a long list of characters that this team brought to the show and shoved down our throats before we barely knew their names. That Noah, who had just lost his lady love could fall so quickly in love with this always sad and pouting character was beyond belief. Rebound, maybe, but eternal love, NO. I don’t get Marisa, I have not been told a story I believe about Marisa, I didn’t even know she was gone, that is how much I really think about her. I only get annoyed when she shows up on screen. Nothing against the actress, just the character. Hope she is back to take Luca with her.

Gina, you summed it up perfectly. The actress is actually quite capable but the character is nearly always frowning or in some dire situation. Do we even know which of her many tall tales have proven true or false? I can’t stand Luca the character but must admit I find Miles G-V sexy, so I’m torn on that one. But why Summer? Hasn’t she gone through enough handsome actors, resulting in their losing their jobs? Kyle (2, actually), Austin, Fen (sort-of); will Luca be next?

I’d forgotten how much I didn’t miss Marissa…

as much as i liked marissa and noah… if any female character is needed back on the show it s avery!!
y n r needs to rectify the mess they created with her character because dylans really going to need her when sullys paternitys revealed

I tend to agree with Damien. Yes, Avery could help clear up this “baby mess” for Dylan. Not only that, she is a wonderful actress and should not have been let go. Dylan and Sharon never made sense.

I like that Hillary is being called for her dark side. A little justice please; not too much, but give us a breather! Don’t make Jack so gullible once again! It is just too soon for that!

Sorry, I got way off base. Nothing against the actress, her role just doesn’t settle in. It is as though you has a very talented person representing another sector of society, but the writers don’t now what to do.

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.
