One of the true fan favorites of daytime drama, The Young and the Restless Daniel Goddard (Cane Ashby), posted a picture of himself on social media on Tuesday, while updating his followers on his broken elbow.

Goddard is scheduled to undergo surgery tomorrow after injuring himself late last week during a fight scene, while taping an upcoming episode of the number one soap opera.

But as the actor related, it’s not been an easy road for him thus far. Today, Daniel shared an injury update his facebook page: “My elbow is still broken and hasn’t been fixed yet because it’s still too swollen to operate… The break is still bleeding out as you can see by the color of my fingers… but I’m at The Young and the Restless today filming because we have so much to do for our huge November sweeps story lines! I have surgery scheduled for tomorrow morning where they will screw and wire my elbow back together.  I wanted to say thank you! You have been such a source of comfort, support and strength over the last few days and I truly and dearly appreciate every single message wishing me well. You have no idea know how much it means to me. I love you!”

Hopefully Wednesday, Daniel will be able to have his surgery to put his elbow back together!  What did you think of Goddard’s heartfelt message?  Share your continued well-wishes for Daniel in the comment section below.

I have always enjoyed the post from Daniel. He shares his family, his thoughts, but never steps on ayones toes. I wish him the best…..prayers sent for a quick recovery.

Daniel, I’m sending my heartfelt sorrow to you and also my positive thoughts throughout your surgery and recovery. I hope your experience during all this turns out to be as painless as possible. I’m sending prayers your way. Take care! Love ya! God Bless you.

Sorrow? Prayers? The man is not dying for Christ’s sake–he has a broken elbow!

Geez, Harry have soe sympathy! My son broke his upper arm last summer in a bad fall, 5 fractures, surgery, out of work 6 weeks, lots of pain, loss of wages. Its a big deal.

THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS ARE WITH YOU . SORRY YOU HAVE TO GO THROUGH THIS AND WISH YOU A SPEEDY RECOVERY….NO FUN…HANG IN THERE.

sending prayers for a speedy & complete recovery………………………

Good luck to him!

Joe Clark kicked your azz and now he will be taking your kids to Disneyland! Good luck Daniel. It sucks!

Oh Hell no he didn’t! While he may not have raped Avery, he snapped and tried to rape Cane. But he was not Abel.
Cane may have a broken elbow, but Joe is in a coma.

Oh no he didn’t! Joe didn’t rape Avery, but he snapped and tried to rape Cane.
But he was not Abel.
In a coma in ICU.

Thats good!

Oh no he didn’t!! Joe flipped out and attempted to what he was accused of by Avery on Cane. But he was not Abel.
In coma.

Sorry, Josie is taking over and did not mean to pull a NLG

Prayers and best wishes for Daniel, for an easy surgery and fast recovery.
He is one of my favorites.

Praying for him today!!! Hopefully he’ll get some time off to spend with his family and relax and heal.

Like the bloke and all but why is he making such a big deal about a broken elbow?
I am going to start calling him Camille.

Since he has to have surgery I would say it is a big deal.

I wish him the best of luck!! In the words of the orthopedic surgeon who operated on my shattered elbow 3 years ago, “Elbows are a bitch!” (Please don’t anyone take offense; I’m merely quoting him.) It will be awhile before Mr. Goddard is tying his own neckties again. Three years later I still can’t straighten my arm completely, but I’ve regained most of my range of motion.

I’m not a doctor, I don’t even play one on TV (ancient Peter Bergman joke), but based on my personal experience this may be an injury from which a full recovery is impossible.

Good luck Daniel on your surgery, hope you feel better real soon. You’re such a talented actor and capable of so much . Take care, you’re such a gracious man and a joy to your fans. Much love and take care.

So sorry to hear about your accident. I will say a prayer for you and your surgery. I love the character of Daniel and you do a great job at Y&R.

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.
