#JeanneCooper was personally unafraid. She showed up for causes that might've gotten her fired from #Daytime. She refused to be "appropriate":) Tough and
vulnerable at the same time. True grit and a delicious sense of humor. I admired her SO much. Quote me, plz:)
Jeanne Cooper was the definitive last old Hollywood star of daytime. Her drunken bit part as Lorna Boyd in “Tony Rome” opposite Frank Sinatra is still one of my favorites. #YR
Happy Soap Opera Day! Soaps are 96 years and counting.

Happy Soap Opera Day!

What a difference a QB makes for Atlanta. My goodness, Michael Penix has opened up this offense and it has become frightening. Bijan is HIM. The OL mashed two games in a row. 👀

Alley Mills is returning to General Hospital as Heather Webber. We Love Soaps' @rogernewcomb spoke with her at last year's Daytime Emmys and asked what she has in common with Heather.
#GH #soapopera
This probably isn't a popular #BeyondtheGates opinion but I hope Hayley gets away with everything. Over the past couple of months she has been very entertaining.
