It's prostate cancer not bladder. Isn't that pretty curable if caught early? I wish him well and hope he recovers quickly.

No, it's bladder cancer.  He was having trouble with his prostate, that's how it was discovered.  

[NinjaPenguins]

Wishing all the best for Eric Braeden, yougotthat? 

[stewedsquash]

@boes I think the whole diagnosis is getting twisted. Upon listening to the whole clip of EB it seems like the tumor was by the bladder and prostate but hadn’t invaded them yet? Anyway it seems he has good prognosis for this and I hope he recovers completely because I have an immense soft spot for him.

[lgprimes]

It’s bladder cancer that the doctor saw in the inner lining of the bladder when he did a cystoscopy. The good news is it doesn’t seem that it got deeper, into the muscle wall of the bladder. At that early stage it should be treatable and have a good prognosis.
I wish him well!

[stewedsquash]

If anyone has facebook ( I don’t but can see stuff) he did a cute little tiktok dance before his knee surgery in a parking lot. I can’t link it. 

[Tippi]

Sorry to hear of this diagnosis for Mr. Braeden.  Bladder cancer is what got my darling brother in law, and it was a very painful agonizing way to go.

Wishing for the very best of treatment and a full recovery for EB.

Sending healing thoughts to Eric. Love, hate, or love to hate Victor, the show wouldn’t be the same without him. 

[nilyank]

It seems like Sharon Case was nominated for an Daytime Emmy for Best Acrress. Did I miss something, or did she actually have a storyline this past year or so? What could she have possibly submitted?

[Artsda]

She has all Rey's death. 

Michelle Stafford, MCE are also nominated. 

JT and PB nominated for male lead. 

Show for best series. 

 

 

[PatsyandEddie]

As much as we complain about Victor, the character, I wish EB the very best during his treatment. May it be a success.

Malcolm is coming back for a brief stay too. Wonder if Tucker will still be in town? That could be quite a family reunion.

[Tammy12]

I've never been a big Chelsea fan but I'd be happy to see MCE win this year. I thought she gave some great and also respectful performances in her suicide storyline.

To be file under "Awwww Sh!!!!ttttt!!!:

Elena actually hops on a plane to confront Nate's lying and cheating behind. AFAIC she better not leave L.A. still calling herself his girlfriend.

Wonder if Elena will borrow Devon's private jet?!

I thought she'd catch them in the room.

The writers strike is on.

I wonder how much this impending strike played into Josh Griffith's "decision" to fire so many of the other writers.

Not good news for our Show at all.  If we thought things couldn't get worse, they just did.

I speculated that the at the time the news came out that the possible upcoming writers strike was a possibilty that probably had something to do with the BTS bloodbath that occurred. It wouldn't affect Griffith since he went Fi-Core during another strike previously. Knowing he's a producer and Fi-Core probably emboldened him even more to do what he did.

You know, they could just let the actors loose on the sets and film them ad-libbing. It couldn't be any worse than what we have now. In fact, in would probably be better.

I confess I've wondered about this as well.  I also saw a headline that the WGA was concerned about the AI/Chat capabilities squeezing writers out.  I joked about this before, but I am really starting to think that it is entirely possible that this is happening on the soaps.

[Kemper]

If the actors are hesitant to protest the storylines for fear of retribution… maybe that is why the actresses don’t strike over hair and wardrobe. 🤓

Sasha Calle (formerly Y&R's Lola Rosales) is featured as Supergirl in the new trailer for The Flash movie. There's speculation that she may get her own Supergirl movie after all, depending on how well this Flash movie does. It's iffy because of Ezra Miller's awful IRL problems. I guess Warner Bros. thinks bringing back Michael Keaton as Batman can cover all sins.

I agree, my favorite movie Batman is Michael Keaton, my 2nd is George Clooney.

 Phyllis may not be popular, but Michelle Stafford is trying to do a good thing to help out her son’s classmate, whose dad recently passed away.

[Joimiaroxeu]

The official Y&R Twitter account posted this promo earlier in the week. It gave the impression Phyllis would be revealing her not dead self to someone in Jack's office at Jabot. Did the show do us a bamboozle?

Her kids go to a Scientology school.  Wouldn’t they provide scholarships and help?

She could single-handedly pay for all their needs, but yeah, I’m sure the ‘church’ is helping.

On June 22, they will have John Abbott day. His real life widow will have a role. This is probably in response to him being left out of the anniversary special.

The Williams were just a normal, working family. It was a great contrast to the wealthy of GC. Same with the Foster’s.

I remember this episode she was also in another one as well. She was in a lot of other obscure 80s TV shows. I remember first seeing her as Dawn on GH. A clip was posted on YT the other day since the anniversary of her debut was the other day. Kind of made me sad to watch since Shell Kepler and Jackie Zeman are no longer with us.

Christel Khalil (Lily Winters) is pregnant and has announced it on her Insta. One of her fan groups posted the video on their Twitter account, here:

This had been reported on several soap sites and I had to laugh at the ones which were likely mostly written by AI. Some wondered whether CK's IRL pregnancy would be written into the show for Lily. That would a miracle since Lily has had a hysterectomy and no longer has ovaries.

Sasha Calle (formerly Lola Rosales) has made the New York Times:

In a Flash, How Sasha Calle Became Supergirl

Apparently when she auditioned she had no idea it was for the role of Supergirl. Warner Bros. even had her sign a contract before telling her what character they were hiring her to play.

The latest Flash movie is considered a huge box office flop but it looks like WB wants to do more with Sasha and Supergirl. I'm so glad because Y&R didn't do right by her IMO and the risk she took by leaving has paid off amazingly well.

That's a shame because she makes the Manjaw scenes less retchable.

I wish they could find more for her character to do. Instead Chelsea is the show pet character of the current dumbass HW/EP.
