I am taken aback how news of Richard B signing a new one year contract ends up being not true with the actor leaving. This is a very black or white situation with no room for error in reporting. He is or he isn’t. They said he did but I guess he didn’t. The popular current term, “fake news” comes to mind. Ashland will be a loss. He was different and interesting. He came on with the presemption that he might be a long term character with a reputation so frightening you thought he would make mince-meat of every other… Read more »

It was not fake new-Richard Burgi did sign a new one year deal. This is why, Tessa Fans continue to complain and point out the inequality in which she is treated. It was noted from the start that Richard Burgi was a temporary actor to this show. So even though he is leaving the show, they will still have to pay out his contract. Yet, Cait Fairbanks who has been on the canvas for almost five years now(this March), is on recurring, while the newer actors that play Faith and Noah are contract players, but the young man who plays… Read more »

I couldn’t log in either when I just now tried on a different device than what I’m using here (which has thus far kept me logged in). I can normally log in/out on multiple devices.

Ali—I can’t seem to login at the Club Door? Is it just me? I have tried changing my password (twice), but that didn’t work. When you get a moment could you take a look? Thanks!

Yes! I was able to sign in this morning (Jan 13) without a problem. Thank you! Sorry to hear you have been grappling with these technical issues. You do so much behind the scenes that we never see. If you ever watch any of the annual awards shows on TV—imagine yourself collecting a golden statue from us.

Ali mentioned something I’ve been thinking as well: surprise that Sharon and Rey are still together- seemingly happy and in love. (Ok Gary, I know you’re not surprised!) Up until the holiday scenes, I’ve never felt that Sharon was fully vested in this marriage. Sure, she loves Rey- they have satisfying sex and a marriage that “checks” the boxes, but Sharon has always seemed to me to be “going through the motions.” (I mean, c’mon- she’s gone through the motions in multiple relationship thus far.) But recently, she’s seemed unusually blissful w/Rey. This has to ultimately play into tearing them… Read more »

Lol, credit where credit's due! Still… not fully convinced by this now apparently besotted Sharon…I mean it's not like Rey has cranked up his excitement factor… what gives, Sharon??

I am interested to see Marah’s reaction to Devon wanting custody of Dominic. Maybe Mariah will be on Abby’s side and if this goes to court she will testify on Abby and Chance’s benefit.

I blame Devon for Ali’s bad dream about Ali Jr! He needs to stop going after joint custody before things get really ugly. I agree with those who say “wait until Victor finds out”!!!! I know Devon has had a bit of a halo lately, but it is really low for him to pursue changes to their legal agreement. He should have compassion for all Abby and Chance have been through—not be using it to try to undermine their family. And Zoperplex and I have never forgiven Devon for ending Nate’s surgical career with ZERO remorse. He has a very… Read more »

I forgot about the Nate hand thing… oh, why have I been still sucked into seeing Devon wearing that halo?? Lol, honestly, that’s how I have seen him, but now I’m clearly and LOGICALLY seeing that’s NOT warranted. Oooooh, now w/my Mama Bear instincts in over-drive, I’m liking him and less… aaagh, Devon- leave Abby, Chance, and Dominic alone!!!

Honestly, like everything, it’s the writer’s fault. It doesn’t seem at all believable that Devon would be fine with ending his cousin’s surgical career that way. He should feel SO GUILTY and Nate should be struggling with the loss. But, we are supposed to go along with what they are showing. Crazy. It takes forever to become a surgeon! How many people will Nate not be able to heal over his lifetime? Geez Devon.

If this was the old Dr. Nate retribution would have been quick and implacable.

Casting spoiler alert: **********Richard Burgi (Ashland) is leaving! : ( I really liked the character & actor except for his fake voice. Victoria hasn’t even been married for a year. They are a much more interesting couple than Billy & Victoria. I’m very disappointed. What is Victoria going to do now? She’s boring when she’s all work, work, work.

I was sad to read that too. I guess his contract negotiations broke down since it was previously reported that he signed on for another year. I think there are about 2 months of episodes already filmed. I wonder if they will consider a recast.

Maybe Jack could have a friend? It seems like he doesn’t have any because he’s spending his time with Phyllis. I feel like we loose characters we like. Its what YR likes to do to mess with us ha ha. I’m not enjoying the new Chance. He needs a haircut.

He did sign a contract for another year. Which make me angry. He was given that deal, which means the show still has to pay him, whether he is on the show or not. But Cait Fairbanks(Tessa) has been on the show for almost five years and they will not put her back on contract. Makes you go. HMMM!!!

So all that stuff about Mr. Burgi signing up for a year was erroneous? These internet stories are getting harder and harder to believe. Regardless, this is yet another example of the lost of an instrumental character. First it was Tyler Johnson, then it was Donny Boaz. At the rate they are going it is becoming exponentially differcult to provide your undivided attention to storylines that involve new characters because you are left wondering how long they are going to last on the show.

Ugh. All the more reason I hate spoilers and try to avoid them. Why read the end of a book before finishing it!? In that same vein, I never look to spoil where shows are headed. But sigh, I realize mine is an old-school mind-set… w/the internet and social media, it seems all the common rage to beat everything to its punch. Nonetheless, I can say it’s fun to view things when “in the know”… it does give a different perspective, and not necessarily negative… just different. But, call me obselete: always gonna prefer the surprise. And, P.S.: Tyler Johnson-… Read more »

It was true that he signed a contract for another year. He just decided to leave, but they still have to pay out the year salary to him.

I believe when you sign a contract as an actor you are committed to it. A show, however, can write you off at any time but they must pay you for the duration of that contract. Leave a show on your own in the middle of a contract and there is the possibility of being blackballed in the industry. Sharod, correct me.

How is that possible? A contract is a contract and Mr. Burgi would be breaking his commitment
