It’s a big day when you get your face in the opening title sequence of the iconic The Young and the Restless – those turns, those stares, all signature style of the top-rated soap.

For Loren Lott, she is now appearing in the opening sequence for the first time since she arrived on the scene in Genoa City as Devon’s (Bryton James) sister, Ana Hamilton.

When Lott saw herself in the opening, she posted it on her Instagram account with this reaction: “Omg ahhhh!!! My first TV intro. Not really sure how I ended up in the intro. I was on the show for 9 months. And I look delicious. Like a really good cookie in all that cream! With a splash a caramel (hi Bryton lol)! That’s some bomb ice cream lol Not gonna lie I screamed. I may have peed a little. Eeep!! Lol this was a very pleasant surprise! Thanx @youngandrestlesscbs @cbsdaytime@sonytvofficial !! #blessed”

Then if you watch the video of her reaction below, Lott does a hilarious turn as many have seen You Tubers do with their own videos – complete with quick cuts and oh-so-funny moments.  Check it out.

Now let us know, are you enjoying Loren on Y&R? What do you hope happens for Ana? Comment below.

Loren is not only gorgeous; her character, Ana, is credible—far cry from Tessa—
I hope she stays single for a while—–yet, knowing the soapworld’s mechanics, she will be paired with someone….let’s hope it’s not unpalatable, geeky Nate!!

Forgive me for taking this opportunity; however, I must say it before I bust!! What the hey is going on with these writers?!?!?! Everytime I see scenes with Tracy and Cane, I want to regurgitate—oh, wait–puke…I want to get down to the nitty-gritty and tell it like it is—–p u k e!! Where are the PTB headed with this? A ‘get-together’ between the two? Holy moly …please soare me. I have had enough of Cane. This is one character who is not needed—-Ergo, ye gods are trying extra hard to fit him into any fissure–a mouse hole is more like it. Cane is irrelevant. Always was, always will be.
It is such a silly, inconsequential storyline— giggly schoolgirl making googly eyes at defective, grosses-me-out idiot.
Tracy deserves better-C’mon–stop the nonsense before I SCREAM!!

CELIA. SPOT ON. That really bad horrific noir novel. It’s like a bad take on GL’s Nola stories back in the 80’s. Mal Young took the show to a better place but then turned apparently into Dr. EVIL. Writing whatever and for whoever he felt was worthy. Pinky finger mic and all LOL. This Tracy/Cain story is bonkers and stomach churning. It NEVER would happen. That dumb detective novel is madness in its self. And they devoted many scenes to it. SMH. I’d been off this show for a good while, over a year actually, and this is what I DVR’d? Sad state. But I miss my American soaps and I’m trying really really hard to get back interested. B&B is a mess. One story for 16+ characters,and two Muppet brothers with a weird father. Bill is weird and pervy. Bottom line. Days is just wacky for the sake of being wacky. Even James E. Reilly would be bonk Carlivitiron upside his head with a script. And GH is trying. Trying way too hard. There’s absolutely no reason the remaining soaps shouldn’t be experiencing a renaissance. The networks don’t want them to. So they won’t. They’ll continue to be sub standard. I’m done with my rant. I’m going to raise a glass to dearly departed Calvin Boudreaux. CHIN CHIN. LOL.

Right back “atcha”, dev—–to repeat yourbown words; YOUR comment is spot on!!
Yeah, right!!….Cane a sleuth of yore? No Lawrence Olivier, or Michael Cain he!!
Yuck!!!!!!
And these writers are a poor imitation of Anthony Shaffer. Seriously??
It breaks my heart to see the writing on the wall ( pardon the double entendre) as to where the rest my loving soaps are headed…..No rhyme or reason to this storyline.
LOL…quelle dommage, dev…poor, poor Calvin…CHIN CHIN and SALUT, indeed.❤️

Great! I can’t stand the fact that the Y&R credits for the most part show only the older generation. Where’s Kyle? I don’t think Adam has even appeared. How about Rey and Lola? Lets get some younger folks and diversity on there. We all know Victor, Jack and Nikki are the lead characters… we don’t need to see them every day!

Hi, Lola (Sasha Calle) was a part of the opening credits today and I am sure they have images of Rey & Kyle as well and Michelle Stafford as Phyllis.

That’s great they added Lola! But I’ve never seen Kyle. And Michelle Stafford — though she looks fab — is past 50, so not exactly a youngster anymore, lol. I guess change will come slowly!

00OOOHHH LAWDY!
that can not be unseen
I’ll never see her the same again, nope! the bell has been rung.

She looks really pretty. I’m just not loving the character or her story.

She’s gorgeous and looks amazing in the intro. But I cannot understand why Michael Mealor (Kyle) is not in the intro yet. He’s been on the show quite some time now and is part of one of the primary families.

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.
