I cannot believe I’m writing this bc it’s still not real. My beloved mom, my best friend, my hero unexpectedly passed this morning. My spirit is shattered. I don’t know how I’m going to get through this. I don’t wanna be here without her at all. I mean that with my everything.
“Chris made one mistake”
Feb 2009: Assaulted Rihanna
March 2011: Smashed a window and stormed off set of Robin Roberts interview
Feb 2012: Stole a woman’s phone

Chris Brown and Usher got into a heated argument that apparently turned violent at Chris' birthday party, TMZ confirms.
Usher reportedly tried to intervene after Chris started yelling at Teyana Taylor for not wanting to talk to him. Later, Usher came back with a bloody nose.
Queen Latifah has had one of the most diverse and successful careers as a black entertainer. We should be honoring the fuck out of her everywhere from music to TV to film to the stage to behind the camera to modeling to philanthropy. A real legend.

and I am emotionally drained. In spite of the very flawed execution, aspects of the series did portray the Menendez Brothers as the victims they are but at a severe cost and disservice to the real Lyle and Erik. 🧵 1/6
Billy Miller’s mother should not have had to release a statement how her son died. Every single person engaging in speculation should be ashamed. The entitlement some of you have is abhorrent. You are owed NOTHING when someone passes.
Keep Patricia Miller in your prayers.

of our Lives Publicity:
It is with a heavy heart that we share the passing of our beloved Bill Hayes.
One of the longest running characters on Days of our Lives, Bill originated the role of “Doug Williams” in 1970 and portrayed him continuously throughout his life.
It’s hard to imagine Days of Our Lives without Drake Hogestyn. We’ve grown up watching him portray one of the greatest characters in John Black and in one of the most iconic romances in soap history. As great as John was, Drake the person was greater. 🥺

Billy Miller became my fave soap star the moment he debuted on All My Children. He cemented his legacy as Billy Abbott on The Young & the Restless w/ 3 Emmy wins. He gave me the Jason Morgan I always wanted on General Hospital. Rest easy. And thank you for everything. 🙏🏽❤️😔
Shannen Doherty embodied what it was to be a star, to be kind, to keep her chin up in an era where the media tried to destroy her. Forever my favorite Halliwell sister. She’s our Whitelighter now.

The only thing that would make 4 years of Peter’s terrorism worth it would be if Maxie gets a very much alive Nathan back. 😭😭
I miss Ryan Paevey so much.

I waited nine months for this reaction from Kristina. To show that Sonny’s daughter was affected by his loss, to show her grief. While we didn’t get it all that time, I’m glad Kristina was there today. Sonny’s daughter matters and needs to be on more.

All I have to say about
#MonstersNetflix
that is suitable for the timeline is Cooper Koch is a god damn star that commands your attention in every scene. Nicholas Chavez is a star who can carry a franchise on his back. They’re going to blow up so much after this.
Never underestimate the lengths some will go to absolve men of all personal responsibility for the decisions they make, and the lengths some will go to blame women for it.
I applaud & support

We done seen more of Carly’s grief than Jason’s actual ex-wife, his own mother, mother of his children and his children. Can we get a break? Good lord.

General Hospital has been a completely different show from the day they finally killed off Peter. I don’t really care if you don’t agree. Freeing the show from the clutches of that awful character & storyline has everything feeling fresh and lighter.

Ryan Murphy will always Ryan Murphy with his projects, but it’s important to remember when watching

that this is how the Menendez brothers actually were with each other. Their emotional codependent behavior and weird boundaries stemmed from shared SA trauma.
Chris Rock got on that stage and called Jada Pinkett-Smith a bitch in front of all those people and those watching. Brought up her relationship with August Alsina. Again disrespecting her on a national stage for a *specific* audience. But Will Smith was wrong, right? 🙄
Hi y’all. It’s been a while. I’m still in the hospital but I’m doing much, much better than I was. I was in septic shock and almost died but praise the lord I’m still here. Thank you for all the messages and prayers. ❤️🙏🏽

My heart is aching for Jacklyn Zeman’s friends, family and coworkers. She was a trailblazer and at the center of so many iconic General Hospital moments as Bobbie Spencer. As great of an actress she was, she was a greater person. This hurts so much. We’ll miss you, Jackie.

Soap actors are LEGALLY required to go
One would think Disney-ABC would utilize its extensive library of soaps going back decades to give Disney+ more content — classic One Life to Live, All My Children, General Hospital, Port Charles, The City, Loving, Ryan’s Hope, Dark Shadows, etc.
My dad passed away today. I feel numb. I know all the logical things — he’s not in pain anymore, he’s in a better place — but emotionally it’s not connecting. The last time we spoke he didn’t remember me. We had a complicated relationship but I loved him, and he loved me. 💔
General Hospital’s greatness is powered by the phenomenal talent of its female cast — Genie Francis, Nancy Lee Grahn, Maura West, Jane Elliot, Lisa LoCicero, Kirsten Storms, Rebecca Herbst, Laura Wright, Kelly Monaco, Cynthia Watros, etc are ANCHORS. What a force.
#GH
When we talk about actors bringing weight to their performance — Nicholas Alexander Chavez and Sydney Mikayla showcased that today. They truly are magical together.

This was an incredibly moving episode of General Hospital. I was able to hold it together until the ending montage. Thank you Kate Hall and Elizabeth Korte for the beautiful script, and directors & editors for creating such beautiful shots.

It took courage from Maxie, determination from Felicia and hardened resolve from Anna to finally send Peter August on a one-way ticket to hell. Finally…it’s over.

After 54 days in the hospital, I’m finally ready to go off to a rehab facility! I am truly blessed and grateful for the great care I received. Tonight I make the trip and start reclaiming my life tomorrow.

Hi everyone. My mom’s surgery went well. It took a LOT longer than originally expected because there was more damage than scans showed. But she’s recovering well and in good spirits. Thank you so much for all the support. It helped calm my anxiety a lot. My mom is my world. ❤️🙏🏽
Drew firing Nina is 100% illegal. She is legally protected as a whistleblower and he cannot fire her in retaliation. She should sue him and take him for all he’s worth…just because she can.

and this awful new policy. The only way to prove a point is if millions mass cancel their subscriptions. And I hope it happens. They cancel all the good stuff anyway.
General Hospital has spent two years building to these moments between Portia, Curtis, Trina and Taggert. It’s a huge deal to have these Black characters at the center of sweeps and I’m so pleased with the way these stories are climaxing. Thank you

Sonny and Nina’s relationship is such a breath of fresh air. This is the first non-Brenda pairing of his that hits hard for me. It helps that their relationship isn’t toxic or destructive. You can tell Maurice Bernard and Cynthia Watros genuinely love working together.

Spencer and Trina’s date. The conversation. The declaration of love. The flashback montage. The full on love scene. The post-sex conversation. The kissing. The romance. This is a super couple.

After a crazy 17 months in rehab recovering from septicemia, septic shock and learning to walk all over again, I’m getting discharged next week! Can’t wait to move into my new condo and start my next chapter. 🙏🏽❤️
Kelly Clarkson has written a lot of great, emotional songs over her 21 year career, but none as heart wrenching as “lighthouse,” which is about the realization that her marriage was truly over. Take a moment and listen to this live performance.

Tomorrow I’ll be attempting to walk again during independent therapy. I feel like my legs have gotten stronger but I could really use good vibes and prayers to help me accomplish this. Going to do my best to get it done. ❤️💪🏽
The lack of respect that Finn and Cody are displaying for Elizabeth and Britt’s boundaries is not chivalrous, romantic or cute — it’s unsettling and off-putting.

The Gates is the first new US daytime soap since 1999. And it’s focused on the wealthy Black elites? People have been asking for a black soap for years and the NAACP is involved. This is a huge fucking deal.

18 months of building to Spencer and Trina’s first kiss was met with a conversation that was so beautiful before Trina went for it, and Spencer returned it. It was so worth the wait.

After a two month hospitalization and six months of intense physical rehab, I finally have a discharge date — March 23; I’m going home!! I’ll be doing home PT initially to continue working on my walking but I’m going home! I’m a little scared but thrilled. 💪🏽🙏🏽❤️
A year ago today I went to the ER and passed out for days due to septic shock & renal failure. Woke up and couldn’t walk. With a 2-month hospital stay + 10 months in physical rehab… a year later, God & medicine has helped on my journey of recovery. I *will* walk out of here🙏🏽❤️.
This hurts too much to put into words. I can’t believe Tyler Christopher is gone. Christ may his soul be at peace. Praying for him, his children and friends and family. God man this hurts.
#GH
😔😔💔💔
I walked today. I freaking walked!!!! I can’t stop crying. It’s been a long six months but the finish line in within sight. I didn’t think this would be possible when I was first hospitalized but omg. God is great. Science is great. 🥹🙏🏽❤️
I felt bad for Nikolas for the first time in forever. He’s not in the right and deserves this, but I FELT his pain and betrayal from Spencer and Ava, and disappointing Laura. And that’s 100% due to the performances of Adam Huss, Nicholas Chavez and Genie Francis. Beautiful.

People who take the COVID vaccines and wear masks ARE heroes. Even if they do it for their own self interest, they are helping protect others by minimizing the spread of infections for the immunocompromised, the ones who can’t get the vaccine and others. It matters.

In Esme’s anger and arrogance, she underestimated the support system Trina has. Portia and Taggert know their daughter’s character, Curtis knows the woman Trina is becoming. It takes a village — Trina’s village is her strongest ally.
#GH
That is *Sonny’s* house. If anyone should GTFO it’s Carly. She has all this mouth and anger but still hasn’t told Sonny how she was trying to have THEIR daughter call Jason “daddy”.

This is the most POV Elizabeth has had in nine months. Her grief is still real. And I wish we got to see it more. Rebecca Herbst is a utility player — an incredible actress who can do it all and deserves to be showcased more.

Listening to Tyler Christopher’s story of addiction/mental health brought me to tears. You never know what someone is truly going through. Have compassion and realize not everything is a set up for a punchline. Wishing him continued healing & stability. ❤️

Episode 5 “The Hurt Man” was a phenomenal two-hander featuring only Cooper Koch and Ari Graynor. In one-take, lasting 33 minutes, Cooper unraveled Erik’s abuse from start to finish. I was in awe of his work. Finally stopped crying enough to gather thoughts.
I think Gina Tognoni would make a fantastic Skye Chandler-Quartermaine recast. Skye finds out thanks to JR and Rae that she *is* in fact Alan’s biological daughter and returns to town with Lila Rae in tow to reconnect with the Quartermaines. I want this badly.
#GH
Brad Maule and Jacklyn Zeman were one of my favorites to work together. When Tony and Bobbie lost BJ and gave her heart to Maxie it was some of the finest work from both stars. Jackie was phenom.
#GH
Also it’s really weird that some of y’all still bash Easton/ Howarth as OLTLers. They’ve been on GH for almost 10 years. Ain’t it time to let that go?
I mean I worked at the GAP when I was 15, doesn’t make me a GAPer a decade later.
