Game show iconic host, Wink Martindale is the next special guest to don the priest collar on upcoming episodes of the CBS sudser, The Bold and the Beautiful.  Martindale follows Chaz Bono, and Perez Hilton as celebs-turned-men-of-the-cloth on the soap!

According to TV Insider, Wink will play Reverend Brown in four upcoming episodes of the series: October 26, 27, 28 and 31, where he is set to marry Brooke (Katherine Kelly Lang) and Bill (Don Diamont).

A B&B rep related that in story, Reverend Brown finds himself in an extremely awkward situation, along with the rest of the wedding guests, when the bride-to-be fails to make an appearance.  So, just where is Brooke? She’s upstairs with her ex Ridge (Thorsten Kaye)!  Of course, he is trying to stop the wedding by trying to convince the bride not to marry Dollar Bill! Does the ceremony actually happen?  Mum’s the word for now!

On his stint as a soap opera reverend, Martindale quipped,” I’ve told my friends and family that I’m now available for weddings, Bar Mitzvahs and funerals—and I’ll give a 10 percent discount!”

So, do you think Brill’s wedding will happen? What do you think of Wink being the next guest-star reverend on B&B? Comment below!

B&B does its share of fun casting, and I appreciate that. As to this plot turn… wow, a real twist. (Not so much.)

Jusy make Bill and Brooke the show power couple already. I feel no burn for a Ridge and Brooke reunion. Ever. Just is not the same. Seems show has evolved and changed so in last several years. Ridge seems less central and necessary to me.

Can I say that I do enjoy Thorsten Kaye a lot but to me Brooke and Ridge are KKL and Ronn Moss. I have tried to warm up to Thorsten but there isn’t any chemistry. Watching from the beginning its hard for me to let that go I guess.

I agree on your Ridge theory 110%. I too was watching on and off from day 1, and like you Ridge and Brooke are Ronn Moss and Katherine Kelly Lang. They had such wonderful connection. To me Thorsten Kaye was to scruffy to fit the Ridge mold

Lol wink martindale b&b is a hoot..who sat there and thought this one up?

I totally agree with you on the Ridge issue. Although I am not thrilled that Brooke slutted her way to her sister’s husband, right given the choice of putting her with either Bill or Ridge, I would rather see her with Bill. I never cared for Thorsten Kaye as Ridge. And although in my eyes Ronn Moss was never an academy award winning performer, I loved the chemistry and interaction he shared with Katherine Kelly Lang. At this point I think the story of Brooke and Ridge should be laid to rest.I always say move forward instead of back. And on a side note, I am sick of listening to Steffie bitch to anyone who will listen that she is worried about Quinn. She was using Quinn as an excuse to go running back to Liam . What she should really be doing is asking Liam why he didn’t throw her in jail when he had the chance if she was such a tthreat to society. If he did, maybe Grandfather wouldn’t be flat on his back in a hospital bed

I AM RIGHT THERE with you on KKL and Ronn. Actually storyline wise it would be nice if she married Bill got the shares and SHE keeps them and is the one who gets rid of Quinn herself. I think Eric would be blindsided if she told him she will vote him out if he doesn’t do right by their son for a change. I know a lot of people don’t care for Rick but it would serve BOTH Eric and Ridge right. Brooke could get ALL she wants in this potential scenario, Bill and Rick in power and RID Forrester of Quinn. JUST an idea mind you. Got to get this writing better.

That a wonderful scenario. This way Bill could have more than his 12% and take over Ridge’s share of the company while having Brooke at his side as his wife. Ridge will really go off the deep end then

Why doesn’t Kaye ever comb his hair or shave he looks like a bumb and he’s supposed to be such a great fashion guy yuk. He just looks dirty. Let Bill and Brooke get married B&B needs at least one power couple. They’re petefect for each other. Doesn’t anyone remember Ridge isn’t even a Forrester and he was seeing Katie and he married Caroline after steeling her away from Rick his stepson/stepbrother.

Quinn and Eric make a great couple. Its been way to long since Eric has had a live interest. I’ve always liked Steffys character but she needs to go to cry baby school already.

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.
