My question would be for Jason Thompson, first of all Congratulations to him again and I hope he wins this year because he should have last year. I am wondering his thoughts on a possible Robin recast because how Robin is being written is truly upsetting along with Scrubs. I have watched since Robin first arrived on GH and when she was diagnosed with HIV, she thought her future just disappeared but she has been blessed where many with this virus haven’t and I don’t believe she would leave her family even for Jason who I admit does mean a… Read more »

Thank you, Shawna! My thoughts exactly about Robin’s departure, so disappointing!

Guest

Tommy

If Michelle Stafford should guest in light of her surprise appearance today on GH

I love her and am glad to see her back and on GH, though I feel no one can do Phyllis like her, would she consider (if asked) playing double duty like EIleen D. does on Y&R and GH?

Guest

Tommy

For Eileen Davidson – If GH had a part would you consider being the first actress to be on 3 soaps at once?

I adore her, she is amazing, watching her as Susan reminds me of watching Elizabeth Montgomery playing Samantha and her wacky cousin Serena, you really think they are two separate actress’.

Will we see Susan this time? PLEASE!! She needs to return and talk to EJ and fight those vampires! lol

I would like to know why Jacqueline MacInnes Wood of B&B (who submitted a pre-nomination reel) wasn’t nominated. Her storyline about the miscarriage was gut-wrenching and in my opinion, far more of an outstanding performance than any of those from the soap nominated within that field. But nothing Bradley Bell does surprises me in the least. But that leads to the overall issue on why The Bold and the Beautiful has lost its way. Instead of maintaining the balance of the cast and story lines that Bell Sr. had firmly in place, Bradley Bell decided to take the soap into… Read more »

It doesn’t look like anybody is happy about GH not being nominated, and rightfully so….

there could be backlash over no GH, and boycotting could occur..

To leave GH out of the nominations when only 4 soaps running, is outrages.

Congratulations to you all! Wish you all could win, but right now rooting for Jason Thompson, I picked a few of the scenes he was outstanding in. Congratulations to my all time favorite soap One Life To Live, you all rocked that soap. Now I am digging General Hospital again.

Raven Bowens is the New Chanel on DAYS

June 10, 2021

There has been a casting switcheroo at Days of our Lives. Precious Way is out in the role of Chanel Dupree and the part had been recast.

Way debuted on-screen back in March of 2021, but now comes word, first via Jason 47’s Facebook page, that Chanel will be played by actress Raven Bowens.

According to Soap Opera Digest, look for Bowens to first air on-screen on the July 6th episode. Apparently, she has been taping at the DAYS set since April.

Raven has previously appeared on All Rise, Insecure, The New Edition Story and Future Man.

You can follow her on Instagram here.

So, what do you think of the Chantal switch? Comment below.

DAYS Alison Sweeney Previews the New EJami

June 6, 2021

Coming up on Days of our Lives, Dan Feurerriegel take over the role of EJ DiMera on-screen, and the character is making quite the timely, or untimely return to Salem now that Sami (Alison Sweeney) has been hitting the sheets with her ex-husband, Lucas (Bryan Dattilo).

Feurerriegel is stepping into the coveted role of EJ made soap-famous by James Scott, who left the series back in 2014 and never returned.

Now the question is can Sweeney and Feurerriegel strike soap gold with their re-imagined duo known as “EJami”?

In the latest issue of Soap Opera Digest on newsstands now, Alison Sweeney opened up about the casting, working with Dan, and the future of EJami sharing: “To be honest, I was nervous when I heard they were recasting EJ. That’s a big role to fill, I mean, James Scott was definitely a fan favorite and EJ is such a memorable role in the story and certainly in Sami’s life.”

Sweeney said of sharing scenes with Feurerriegel, “Dan has been fantastic. I’ve really enjoyed working with him. He clearly understood the importance of the task ahead.”

As for what fans of EJami may be in for, Sweeney noted: ” I hope those ‘EJami’ fans see the couple they were so connected to, but of course, in a new, different way.”

So will you be giving the new EJami a chance? Looking forward to Dan’s debut, or are you Team Lumi all the way? Share your thoughts via the comment section below. But first check out this week’s promo for DAYS.

DAYS Billy Flynn Opens Up To Maurice Benard About His Battle with Addiction on All-New ‘State of Mind’

May 30, 2021

In a terrific episode of Maurice Benard’s (Sonny Corinthos, General Hospital) State of Mind You Tube series, the actor welcomes another one of the best actors on daytime, Days of our Lives star Billy Flynn (Chad DiMera, Days of our Lives).

What made this so compelling was Billy Flynn’s ability to talk openly, frankly, and with great understanding about his battles with addiction which he notes have been alcohol, drugs, and the cycles he has found himself in within his life and how he was able to break free of them, and the work he continues to do to keep him from falling back into them.

Flynn shares how much of his adult life was greatly impacted by his childhood, and explained to Benard, how he acted out when he was younger. He also shares how his addiction caused issues for awhile with his job at Days of our Lives.

This episode is a powerful one to watch for anyone struggling with issues of addiction, dependency, suicide, having problems at work, and trying to not self-destruct, which so many of us do, once we seemingly get what we what or while we are trying to obtain it.

Bravo to Billy and Maurice for bringing this forward and to the audience.

Watch Billy’a visit on State of Mind below, followed by a bonus segment where Flynn asks Benard some ‘hard-hitting’ questions.
