No. We knew of Nadia's departure for months before she left. It was even reported that her contract was extended specifically to give her a departure storyline. Nadia left because she and her family left for one of the Carolinas. ( I think South Carolina). The show apparently didn't want to pay for her travel between California and the Carolina State she now lives, so she was written out.

Further than that. Her husband got a job in Ireland

If only they'd wrapped both Ciara and OllieBenAlex and then tossed them both overboard, weighted down by their overblown egos. If only....... I can dream, can't I??

Bo is done. No recasts please. They should have "say it with me* kept Aiden and not trashed him. Rafe needs to go.

Since Ali was only back for 8 days (!!) , they should have just let her marry Lucas and then leave town with him. That way both Lucas and Sami can come back when Ali returns. They should have never ma

I thought she moved to Ireland. She's not the only actor to live somewhere else and go to California to film Days but I guess those actors pay it themselves?

At one point she was living in South Carolina, but I guess she lives in Ireland now. Either way, she presumably didn't leave on bad terms with Days' higher-ups. Part of the reporting was that her contract was extended to give her an Exit storyline, which doesn't indicate bad blood similar to Ari Z.

EJ has had chemistry with everyone so I’ll be interested to see how this pairing works out. For me, NuGabby sucks the life out of the show, such that it is. I would rather see EJ and NotAbby paired.

You know I wouldn't be opposed to this either. I could see it and Chad gets jealous over it despite being upset over what she did.

I really don't care for the character.   I don't like NuGabby the actor, I was fine with the old one.

Why don't you people give Cherie a chance?  It took Camila some time to find her groove, so perhaps it's just a matter of Cherie needing a chance to find her own, as well.

For me at least I just need a break from Gabi regardless. By the time Camilla left she became really cartoonish. I also don't really feel it with her version of Stabi with BB.  It wouldn't have hurt to have Gabi focus on her daughter for once and how she's messed that relationship up repeatedly over the years.  This would go a long way in humanizing her to me. Yet this show is all about pairings or bust which I find short sighted.

According to Google, Cherie Jimenez is 37, and Chandler Massey is 34. Would people be interested in a late-teens Arianna? I think that's the only way the proposed storyline would be interesting. The last time we saw Arianna; she was being introduced to pre-SORASED Holly, so we could pretend they've been friends for years.

Ari was born before Holly and Tate so she should be older than they are if not a teenager herself. On paper Arianna should be a handful with Sami and Kate as grandmothers. Plus between Gabi's manhopping, thirst for power, and jail stints it's not farfetched she would miss out on a portion of Ari's life. Sonny is Ari's best parent.

Stefan was an okay idea, I guess, but a trainwreck character almost from day one. BB has a likability that carried Jake and Stefan for a while, but he was never necessary for the show.

With BB he was intended to just finish out Tyler's stint on the show as Tyler was fired for being so drunk they had to carry him off the set. They unexpectedly found something with Stefan/Gabi which is why BB stuck around. Then Camilla left and it wasn't the same. If anything they should've just written off Stefan/Gabi together.

Yay and Ugh.

I know their marriage has been rocky, but they either need to be completely over or completely solid at this point because the yoyo-ing is disgusting.

Martha is a great actress who has chemistry with everybody and they'd naturally want to use that...while Beemer....struggles, so I get why they'd separate them again. But it chips away at Shelle.

There isn't much left to ship at this point.

I completely agree. It's ok if they aren't meant to be either. They can always be connected through Claire that's enough tbh. I didn't mind Shawn with Talia in the brief scenes they had not sure if they would work as a long term thing but it was more interesting to me than he and Belle ever were.

Jason Cook will always be my Shawn D, he had great chemistry with KA and PR.

Has he retired from acting? I know he came back for Bo's final episodes during the 50th but otherwise he's been absent.

He was in a Lifetime movie I saw a few months ago with Alicia Leigh Willis (Courtney GH) and Connor Floyd(Chance Y&R) which came out two years ago. I posted seeing it in the Evil Twins thread.

Looks like Cady McClain is joining Beyond the Gates my guess it's permanent? Jon Lindstrom is also joining the show but I wonder what that means for him on GH he could do both like Wally does with GH/Days

They haven't done much with Kevin since they completed the Return of Ryan Chamberlain so I can't imagine it will be much conflict. As for New Guy, I wonder if he'll be Jeremy Horton.

Well BTG is filmed in Atlanta GH is filmed in LA. Wally does GH/Days because well both are in LA so not that big of an issue.

I hope Jon can do both(if he wants to of course)

Wow.  Our first daytime soap filmed in Atlanta?  That's new.

The brief online revivals of All My Children and One Life to Live (which shared sets) were filmed in Connecticut, likely because of how expensive filming in New York City is.

Beyond the Gates probably picked Atlanta because of the pool availability of black talent in that region, plus the tax credits that make filming in Georgia less expensive.

I never knew they shared sets! Interesting.

I'm glad to hear new guy will be getting scenes with Abe. Poor man's needed a decent storyline.

No offense to Emily at all, but Gwen and the recent Theresa plotlines were real low points, narratively-speaking, of the last few years.

But this show just loves recycling the stuff that doesn't work....

Fortunately Theresa's upcoming stint is going to be extremely short, maybe about a couple episodes max give or take. I think she's probably going to drop by in town very briefly just to see Tate after being released from prison and then she'll decide to head back to California to stay with her mom in order to try to get her life back in order, (especially since she's burned way too many bridges in Salem at this point and I don't see many people forgiving her for her latest shenanigans for a very long time if ever). I'll be very surprised if we see Theresa ever again at any point in the future before the show ends. 

I have a feeling that Gwen is going to be a lot more long term, and she may or may not be involved in a potential storyline with Abby. Time will tell I guess. Also I feel like it's very telling to me which character the new writers obviously value more by the fact that of all characters that Gwen is the one they bring back.
