The Pearson family will be back on your screens, much sooner than later!  The upcoming fifth season of the NBC beloved drama, This Is Us will now bow in a two-hour premiere on Tuesday October 27th, instead of the previously announced date of November 10th..

The series is slated to go back into production today on Thursday, September 24th amid the coronavirus pandemic.

The move to a premiere in October a big win for NBC as so many scripted shows and content at the major broadcast networks are very delayed getting back on air or online, and won’t return until November or even later this year, or in 2021.

This Is Us is coming off a second Emmy award for actor Ron Cephas Jones for his guest star performanc as Randall’s (Sterling K. Brown) bio-dad, William Hill.

So looking forward to seeing Justin Hartley, Mandy Moore, Sterling and the gang back for a new season of This Is Us in late October? Comment below.

And now for some more mamma drama! Judith Chapman is set for another return to The Young and the Restless in her role as Gloria Fisher.

That means that we hopefully will see scenes between Chapman and her two on-screen sons, Greg Rikaart (Kevin) and Christian LeBlanc (Michael).

Soap Opera Digest broke the bit of casting news.

Chapman was last seen in the role in 2018 and then headed over to Days of our Lives to play Diana for awhile.

Judith took over the role of Gloria in 2005 replacing Knots Landing favorite, Joan Van Atk.

Glad to hear Judith will be back on our daytime screens? Comment below.

Tuesday’s episode of Days of our Lives had Eric Brady saying a sudden farewell to his loved ones before he departs Salem for Africa to help those in need.  That marks the on-screen departure of Daytime Emmy winner, Greg Vaughan who will last be seen on Wednesday’s episode.

As DAYS fans were aware, Greg wrapped his run months ago on the NBC daytime drama series, but since before the Covid-19 pandemic DAYS taped almost seven months ahead, Eric’s on-screen exit is airing this week.

Over the past two days, Vaughan took to his Instagram to share some sentiments, ‘thanks you’s’ and some photos of some of his favorite memories with his castmates expressing, “Seeing it’s the last week I’m airing on @nbcdays …I wanted to share some great captured memories this week with my incredible fans & castmates.”

The actor also posted a special photo album of pics with his longtime on-screen partner and love interest, Arianne Zucker (Nicole).  In that, he posted this message: “To my Ride or Die partner Ari!! Never a dull moment, laughing or crying, she was the party, always with a smile! Love ya #ERICOLE”
