I'm still in shock over the news. Like just can't believe it. I haven't watched since Days moved to Peacock, (Global TV to W network in Canada) and only occasionally read the forums, so had no idea whatsoever that Drake was unwell, or that he'd not been on the show lately. Unlike the older actors who've passed, Drake was still fairly young. I feel like I've lost a friend. 😢

I've just seen the news about Drake. 😭 So sad for his family, as he seemed to be just the nicest man. Also sad for his Days family and the fans. I loved his character from the first moment he peeled off those bandages and saw himself in the mirror. I loved him as John, then Roman, then John again, and loved both his pairing with Marlena, and also with Isabella. And I loved him with all his kids. Just so sad for the show. I'm going to have to subscribe to a streaming service so I can first watch Doug's funeral, and eventually John's. So sad. RIP Drake.

I haven't watched The View regularly in years now. And though I never really had much of an opinion on Whoopi, I did dislike the way she bullied Rosie O when they were on the show at the same time. However, when I saw the ebook for her memoir on my library website I decided to borrow it, and I really enjoyed reading about her life with her mother and brother. There was no doubt they meant everything to her, and she is still dealing with the loss of both of them. One interesting bit, pertaining to The View: Her mother used to call her to tell her that her face looked like she wasn't interested in/paying attention to the guest. Now her daughter does the same thing. It's a short book, only 145 pages on my e-reader, so a quick read, and better than some memoirs I've read with double the pages, but tons of boring stuff.

I just finished watching on GEM. Did anyone else watch this season?

Just seeing the sad news now. Poor Susan. First mourning Bill's loss now. Then in 6 months or so, mourning Doug's loss onscreen.

Thank you. BTW, miss you guys, possibly more than I miss watching the show.

Hey everyone! I haven't been here in months, since I can no longer easily watch Days. But I'm been reading some things online which I'd like to see, and am going to ask a friend to record some episodes for me, off of the W Network here in Canada. Would love to know when to tape the following: Victor's funeral Episodes with DVD

I feel like I only log into this site now when an actor or celebrity dies. I think the last times were John Aniston and Barbara Walters. Both were much older, though, than Andrea Evans. I don't remember a lot about her time as Tina, as I didn't watch OLTL as regularly as some of the other soaps, but I absolutely recognized her name when I saw it trending on Yahoo News, and was saddened to see why. Another actor around my age gone. ☹️

This is a nice tribute. I didn't realize till I read the post above that Jenny McCarthy was there while Barbara was still there, but you can see her at the table in the retirement clips with all the women journalists.

From https://www.usmagazine.com/celebrity-news/news/why-rosie-odonnell-missed-the-views-barbara-walters-tribute/ "An ABC rep and a spokesperson for the League of Our Own actress both confirmed that O’Donnell, 60, was invited to take part in the special episode, TVLine reports. However, the former cohost had prior commitments. “She is on a plane and couldn’t change her schedule,” her representative explained."

I watched today for the first time in years, as I wanted to see the Barbara tribute. It was nicely done. A little too much Elisabeth for my liking, but everything she said was fine. LOL at typical The View technical issues and having to resort to Whoopi and signs. Speaking of Whoopi, I thought she looked really good. Was great seeing Joy too, and hearing her memories of Barbara. This was the first time I've seen the new co-host, who's name I don't even know. Seemed strange having her there, but I suppose she, as well as Sunny and Sarah, are current co-hosts and it might have been weird to sit them out. Loved seeing Debbie and Lisa. As well as Sherri and Star. Too bad Meredith couldn't have been there, or at least been on video instead of phone. Not surprised Rosie O wasn't involved, but glad they included her in video clips. Loved all the video clips at the end. Nice ending with just Barbara talking, and the pic of her chair. She was a trail blazer, and though I don't currently watch The View, I did for many, many years, and always enjoyed when she was at the table. RIP Barbara.

Just saw the news about BW. I haven't watched The View now in years, but will tune in on Tuesday to see how they mark her passing. RIP Barbara.♥️ Just checked Rosie's site, and she posted this touching Instagram post about Barbara. Made me a little teary watching it. https://www.instagram.com/reel/Cm0U9vmKxaz/

I haven't been watching since the move to Peacock, but did see the John Aniston tribute, and it made me cry. Particularly the scene with Victor and Stefano. Two great actors the show was lucky to have for so many years.

Thank you! I checked again, and could only find The Great British Baking Show, but Google informed me it's the same show as The Great British Bakeoff.

I totally forgot about this show until a week or so ago, and by then it was too late to watch live. So I've been watching on Gem, and just finished last night. What a lovely group of bakers. I don't think there was even 1 I didn't like, and hated seeing one leave each week Like some of you, I wondered if they'd go with 4 for the finale, as they were all so good. But I was still happy with the 3 finalists, and was thrilled that Lauren won. She is such an amazing baker for such a young age. I'm always so amazed at the creative designs they come up with, but even more so the flavour combinations. I wish I'd been able to watch and post with all of you. Hopefully next year. Meanwhile, I can at least post about the Holiday Special, which I'll be watching tonight. Quick question, is GBBO Great British Bake Off. If so, where are you all watching it.
