Did anyone notice that GV has an announcement attached to his twitter profile? Supposed to be for tomorrow.
Based on GV's most recent Twitter follows, I wonder if he has been cast in a new show called "Queen Sugar" that is being produced by Warner Brothers (his tweet from a few weeks ago) and will air on OWN. The cast looks to be comprised of primarily black actors, but the sheer number of people he's following from that show recently is suspicious.

Here's the Wiki on Queen Sugar: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Queen_Sugar

Recent follows:

Anthony Sparks - supervising producer for "Queen Sugar"
Kay Oyegun - writer for "Queen Sugar"
Devan Renea - show runner assistant for "Queen Sugar"
Michelle Green - costume designer for "Queen Sugar"
Natalie Bazile - author of novel "Queen Sugar"

There are more followers from the show, but I think you get the idea...
Yeah, I'm sure that's it.

Good for Greg, but this isn't a show that excites me.

I haven't listened to one of their podcasts in ages, and I sometimes question their sources, but... Since Jamey Giddens at DC is the one who broke the story and Mike from Serial Scoop quoted their scoop, here's what Jamey had to say about the Rebecca Herbst situation on their latest podcast:

Maybe they gave her an "insulting" offer on purpose. There really isn't much else to do with the character.

If she does come to DAYS I'm going to have some :popcorn: but not because of the show.

Yeah, I just listened to that part of the podcast. I'm not sure how reliable this is from JG, but he said the show may start taking longer hiatuses to shorten the film to air time.

I hope it is DAYS related....but I know it won't be :(
Yea, I think it's something to do with the OWN Network's show "Queen Sugar". He was at the script reading a few days ago with Oprah:)

The main roles in this 13 week series is mostly African Americans, so I don't know who he could play, but its very possible that this is just a small role and one of his irons in the fire.
I've never watched but based on commercials John Schneider is one of the main players on The Haves and the Have Nots which is one of Tyler Perry's shows on OWN so maybe Greg's role is like that. Hopefully it's more then a bit part. After looking at the cast list on the OWN website I see Eva Tamargo (ex- Pilar Lopez-Fitzgerald, Passions) has a role on there too. I had wondered what she had been doing since Passions went off the air.

I wonder if we will hear one way or another about Rebecca Herbst this week?

I actually am REALLY hoping this one works out and that she is coming as an Abby recast....even though she is a bit older, she doesn't look much older than Billy Flynn....plus she is an amazing actress and her look would work in the role too I think.
Age is not just about looks. She's too old to play Abby.
Why?

I disagree on GH not being able to do much with the character of Liz. She's the one who was driving story for the past year plus she's a Webber. They just hired another doctor who she could of been paired with. But GH exec's stay dumb & keep the wrong people on contract and let stars like SB, JT & BH leave. Meanwhile, they got Mr. Mumbles aka Billy Miller sleepwalking through his scenes. Seriously Josh Taylor & Billy Miller should take their act on the road lol

I think they will survive just fine without JT, although I am a major fan and enjoy him now on YR. I'm not sure what the effect of RH leaving will be, but that is based on her fans, not the character. I think they could easily have eliminated the character a couple years ago and it would have been no big loss. She was practically a recurring character supporting other stories. She only got a big story because they brought back Jason. And I quite enjoy BM in the role of Jason. As a matter of fact I like him better than SB and am seeing how deficient SB really was in comparison. And I was a FAN of SB's too so it's not just that I didn't like him. I just don't think he is all that great. GH survived his leaving and I'm sure they will be fine if BH leaves as well.

I wish there was some way to identify if people will follow her to DAYS. I mean I don't think it's worked with other stars coming has it?

They are, but it's not going to help much thanks to the Olympics. And it's unclear whether it will be a continuous thing or not. They did this in 2014, too. I'm not sure why it's such news this time.

I'm not Sindacco, but I agree with them, and my main reasons are:

- This is partly to do with age, but I just cannot buy MR playing RH's mother. They seem like they would play better as sisters than mother/daughter. (Fun fact: Becky and Missy's families are allegedly good friends, and Missy's husband used to play BH's brother on GH. LOL).

- BH has played a more "mature" character than Abby on GH for years, and it's just hard for me to picture BH suddenly playing a younger character. Although the story didn't really demonstrate this, I had the same issue with GW when he first started as Will. He had a certain maturity in his tone (not dialogue) that was such a shift from Chandler.

No offense to MR but she looks her age to me, so that's not a problem IMO. I haven't watched GH for decades so I don't know how old RH comes across. She is only 38, and as I've pointed out before, Abby is Brady's age and Brady is played by a 44 year old, so I don't know why a 38 year old shouldn't be playing Abby, especially if she looks younger than her age. Sounds like a good compromise to me.

I have no idea if RH would play the character well, or if I would even like her, but I don't see why Abby can't be sorased a bit.

Billy Flynn is 30, but he can pass for much older IMO, and it's not unusual to pair older actresses with younger actors, i.e. KA & DC, KA & GG, DH & DDH, etc.

I wouldn't want Becky Herbst to play Abby. She's too old for that role, and I don't think it would fit her.

She could play someone else, but not Abby. Sarah Horton?

If RH joins Days I'd prefer her not be a Brady or a Horton as it really limits her pairings. She can't be related to half the town. Although there is one character I'd make an exception for.

To me it's whether RH can look young enough to play Abby. That there is an issue that MR is 48 and RH is 38 is ridiculous to me. RH looks young enough to play her daughter IMO. Missy looks good but she looks her age, pushing 50. I remember watching Y&R in the mid-90's thinking how in the world does Nikki (MTS) have these two kids in the age ranges of 18-23 when she looked like she was in her 30's. It worked though. It's not uncommon that onscreen parents are not that much older than their onscreen children.

I imagine that since he doesn't have a contract, they can't control his appearance. Maybe he was trying to make a point.
His IMDB profile says he played Chase Jennings in 15 episodes of Days of our Lives (2015-2016) - I wonder if he is still with the show?
IMDB isn't the most reliable for keeping accurate track of soap actors' episodes. That said, Jonathan is listed as appearing in that May 31st episode that sparked the "Is Daniel Coagrove back?" Discussion.

Isn't Lauren Koslow (Kate) like 7 years older than Lisa Rinna (Billie)?

Same goes for Tanya Boyd (Celeste) and Renee Jones (Lexie), they were also less than 10 years in age....both of those mother/daughter pairings worked perfectly on screen.

MR and RH could totally pull off mother and daughter.

Yep, I'm not familiar with her acting, but on looks alone, I could see her playing Abby.

This actress I don't think should play Abby. Abby just graduated from college a few years ago and all of a sudden she'll be pushing 40? I don't think so.
