OMG THANK GOD THE BAY IS BACK!

Truly good soap entertainment like this is so scarce now.. this show is literally my sanctuary!! I’m truly addicted to it

O…..M……G…YES! WE ARE BACK!!! I loved every minute. Steve Jensen Oh Steve Jensen you sly devil. and Janice was Hilarious!!! Thank you Michael for sharing, and Thank you Gregori for THE BAY!!! Here we go again!!!

YES! Thank goodness this show is back. With so few soaps left, this really is one of the only shows left worth watching. Thanks to everyone at The Bay for continuing to bring us wonderfully entertaining and high quality soapy goodness! Loved, loved Harold and Zoey, and Lillly Melgar plays such a wonderful drunk Janice. And of course I can’t wait to see what happened to Lee. Poor Sara! LOVE THE BAY!!

I’m so glad to see The Bay return. I’ve missed it. The Janice/Christine scenes in the bar were great, as were all of the reactions at the wedding. Harold and Zoey are perfect as father and daughter (and the Santa Barbara shout-out was fantastic). Can’t wait for more . . . especially regarding whether Lee was really caught in that explosion.

I agree with Christina. I’m addicted as well. So glad The Bay is back! Love the drama and can’t wait for more!

I’ve never watched this show, but after seeing all the soap stars in it, I’ll have to start. Bravo! And thanks for sharing!

Thank God for The Bay! In a world where soaps are a dying breed, we have a great new show that is on its way up! I say long after all the other soaps are gone, we’ll still be enjoying Gregori’s masterpiece!

Long live The Bay!

So glad this show is back. Love the sets, storylines and charasmatic actors. Mary Beth Evans just lights up the screen-very classy lady. You have me hooked guys-great fun show to watch.

The Bay is back! I love The Bay! I got interested when I heard Mary Beth Evans was going to play a pivotal role in it…I’ve always loved her.

I’ve watched The Bay since its inception, and wow! I just love the cast that Gregori Martin has assembled. From Lane Davies, Charles Shaughnessy, and Jed Allan to Martha Madison and Matthew Ashford as well as the aforementioned Mary Beth Evans…It’s a real treat.

Through the Bay, I’ve come to love even more actors and actresses than the ones I anticipated seeing when the show started. Lily, Taylor Stanley, Sandra Ferguson, Real Andrews…They’ve all done such a great job in this continuing drama!

I have fun watching The Bay! May the fun continue for years to come…

Thank you for this BAY article! I’m so glad that we have something else to watch that’s so worth watching now that so many of our soaps are gone. Jed and Taylor are sooooo flippin’ good as father and daughter. You just believe every word they say. And I was really impressed with Lilly Melgar and Sandra Dee Robinson in their bar scene. Lilly’s drunk hit every note just wonderfully, and Christine has a layer of sanity beneath all that wack! It’s so great to see these characters with so many dimensions. Mary Beth Evans was the reason i started watching The BAY, but now I’m hooked on the great plots that Gregori has woven for everyone. And one more thing. That bartender had more presence in his pinky than alot of people on hit primetime shows today. Can’t wait for the rest of the season!

Yay The Bay is back better than ever. I love everything about this show, can’t wait to see what happens to the Garret’s next week. Mary Beth Evans is fab as wealthy socialite Sara Garret and the creator Gregori J Martin is amazing 🙂

Another great webisode. There’s more drama and action in 10 minutes than I see on most soaps in an hour long episode. Love it!! Keep it coming.

Thanks for another quality production! The Bay has a dream cast! Love how the soap keeps the genre updated and fresh while maintaing the elements of a great soap. It should be on primetime.

At long last the wait is over. Great season opener. I look forward to next week.

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.
