From a woman who was raped 5 days after turning 12, who was ‘lucky’ enough not to get pregnant by my piece of shit rapist, I say fuck you, Texas. And fuck you, Supreme Court.
#AbortionBan
I’m so profoundly touched by the overwhelmingly positive response to

. What made this announcement especially poignant was it happened on
@JackieZeman
‘s birthday. She would have loved this.
#angelspirit
You might be too young to remember her as anything other than Ellen’s one time girlfriend but
#AnneHeche
got her start in daytime and she was nothing short of brilliant as Vicky/Marley on Another World. What’s happened to her is tragic.

To everyone who reached out about

know that I appreciate you and I’ll get around to liking:responding to your comments so you know I see you But it’s gonna take a minute so be patient. In the meantime know I’m humbled and grateful for your support. Wow. Let’s do this
Hard to believe this was 24 years ago. Still seared on my heart. Thank you
@RebeccaLHerbst
for your sensitivity and brilliance. You were... you are... a gift.
I missed you tonight. So many Emmy nights we shared.
@KristinaWagnr
wore your Nurses Ball dress so it felt like you were with us in spirit, but I miss your physical presence. My love for you is eternal. Rest well, my beautiful friend
This breaks my heart. Sonya was a wonderful, genuine, warm, loving, fantastic person. This is a hard one. RIP, my friend.
'General Hospital' Actress Sonya Eddy Dead At 55, Octavia Spencer Announces
I met 21 year old Anne Heche at my first Soap Opera Digest Awards. We were swept up in some drama she wasn’t ready for but she came through like a champ.That’s really all I can say about it but I’ll never forget how awesome she was. I wish she’d had a better life. 💔
Things that shouldn't have to be said but oh well:
Characters are fictional.
Actors play them.
Actors are not characters.
They are doing a job.
Hating the character is okay. Sometimes it's what we intend.
Hating on the actor is not so just stop.
I knew the Guza hate would start. I'm saying this once and I'm not taking questions. I was there. In the writers room. Every day. Guza did not want to kill Alan Quartermaine.

One of the scripts I’m most proud of. Wrote the “Robin I see you” moment through the ugly cry. This storyline is iconic now but
#ClaireLabine
and
@canyoncatz
had to fight for it and a lot of viewers tuned out. Claire was determined to tell it though.
I can’t believe you’ve been gone a year. I miss you so much. Your laughter and positivity. Your friendship and love. Your hugs. You will always be an angel in my life. Love, Michele ❤️💔

Feeling a little bittersweet as my last episode of
#boldandbeautiful
airs today. My love and gratitude to Brad Bell for giving me a home for 12 1/2 years and to my fellow writers, producers, directors, cast & crew - you guys are the best. ❤️❤️
I want to be “done with Covid” as much as the next person, but I wouldn’t take off my mask indoors even if I could. Did we not learn anything from last time we jumped the gun? Give it a couple more weeks, people.
I was 14, pregnant and unequipped on any level to be a mother. Luckily, my mother recognized this and said no to babies having babies. I had an abortion.

On behalf of our

family, I am heartbroken to announce the passing of our beloved
@JackieZeman
. Just like her character, the legendary Bobbie Spencer, she was a bright light and true professional that brought so much positive energy with her to work.
@RebeccaLHerbst
Happy Anniversary! My God, I can’t believe it’s been 25 years. And little did I know what a gift you’d be to me, professionally for sure but more importantly - personally. I treasure you and our friendship. Love you for 25 and counting 🍾🎉❤️🎈
I’m screaming! It’s about fucking time this man’s enormous talent is being consistently recognized and acknowledged! Congratulations
@thejonlindstrom
! Time to get that gold!
So much love and respect for the
#YR
team for the care they took with the untimely, unexpected loss of
#KristoffStJohn
. This last week has been heartbreaking and somewhat cathartic. Most importantly, he was honored. Both the character and the man. Couldn't ask for more than that
This was a tough one for all of us. Rosalind was so beloved and saying goodbye to Mary Mae was saying goodbye to her. I co-wrote this script with the divine Claire Labine. She wrote Lois and Luke, I wrote the rest. It was an honor.
Last week I had dinner with
@NancyLeeGrahn
. We didn't photodoc it, but every minute lives rent free in my head. 33 years of friendship. So much shared history. And I'm grateful for it. Love you, Doll.
I just want to say that
@thejonlindstrom
is one of the best people to ever grace my life. I’m so grateful to you Jon for over 30 years of friendship and the constancy of your love and support. They just don’t come any better than you ❤️❤️

I'm so sorry about what happened. You're a daytime icon. You deserve better. I'll always be honored that I got to write for you. Hang in there. xoxo
#kristoffstjohn
I wish you were here to see the all day non-stop outpouring of love for you. Maybe it would have made a difference, knowing you touched so many so deeply. I still can't believe you're gone.
Greetings from Atlanta and the first day of the Ambitions writers room - a new nighttime series created by Jamey Giddens, produced by Will Packer Media to air on the OWN network in 2019. Beyond excited to begin this journey!
Give
@KristinaWagnr
all the accolades, all the recognition and all the awards.
Her scenes tugged and tugged at our heartstrings.
She didn’t miss a beat.
Every scene about Jackie she spoke from her heart,
Kristina keep being you 🫶💕

Gotta say Happy Anniversary to one of the most special people in my life. Love you always
@RebeccaLHerbst
. Forever proud of the work we did together. Take your bow, Queen!
Walking around my house, I see many things
@JackieZeman
gave me over the years that speak not just to my spirit and soul, but to hers. Colorful, beautiful things, always with an underlying message of love, friendship and spirituality. God, I'm gonna miss her
A bog congratulations to
#PatrickMulcahey
and
#ElizabethKorte
, two of the best writers I know, who also happen to be two of my favorite people. 🍾🍾❤️❤️
Telling this story was wrenching. Healing. Gratifying. I’ll always be humbled by:
@RebeccaLHerbst
. Her talent. The care she took.
@canyoncatz
’s sensitivity. The way
#Guza
gave me my head. How the writing team held me up.
@MulcaheyPatrick
looking @ you. A singular experience
Shouting out my daytime community. 250 episodes a year is a lot. But we do it to the best of our ability and manage to form lasting, loving friendships in the process. I'm proud to be a part of you for 30+ years and counting.

So since we’re on the subject, here’s an interview

and I did for the greatly missed Soap Opera Weekly. Page 2 in the comments.
@MimiTorch
@JanetD1986
So proud to have been part of this iconic show for 19 years, almost a third of its run! I had profound writing experiences and made friends with amazing, talented, funny people who are still my chosen family today. I celebrate you
#GH
and I’ll be watching, champagne in hand 🍾❤️
OMG so I’m still watching/catching up on
#TheStoryofSoaps
. Why does it suddenly feel like a death knell for the genre?! Why can’t it be a celebration? We’re hanging tough with no new episodes IN THE MIDDLE OF A FREAKING PANDEMIC! Why not celebrate our resilience? I’m done!
My time at
#GH
, especially the
@canyoncatz
years - was so rewarding on so many levels. Even now, whenever we come together - in sadness or in joy - those bonds hold. We are family, enduring as hell, and I'm so grateful for that.
Okay, this might not be interesting to anyone but me, but
#BoldandtheBeautiful
is celebrating its 36th anniversary. I've been there 12 years - 1/3 of its existence.
#GH
is celebrating its 60th anniversary. I was there 2 months shy of 20 years - 1/3 of its existence. Hmm.
Finally booked a flight to Chicago- literally yesterday- to see my family for the first time in 3 years for my aunt’s 90th birthday, and mask mandates are lifted by an idiot. Who knows what shape we’ll be in by June? I hate everything 😡
I’m devastated to hear we lost Bridget Dobson. I loved her. She was instrumental in my career and a great friend. A soap icon and a wonderful effervescent person. I don’t have words. My heart is 💔💔 Bridget, I will always be your Princess. Rest well.
My stepfather was a violent rogue cop. Within arms reach of wherever he sat in our house was a firearm. Like a machine gun under the living room couch. My mom and I lived with the threat of him going off every single day. I moved out at the stroke of midnight my 18th birthday.
Hey
@finaldraftinc
It would be so incredibly helpful if you’d stop crashing on me when I’m writing the most important shit of my entire 30+ year career. Please and thank you 🙏🏽
The immediate pick up of Elizabeth's rape that started with her crawling out of the bushes looking for Audrey's bracelet and Lucky happening by. Because it was so personal. My DNA was all over that episode.
I am so honored to have been a part of this groundbreaking show. I'm grateful for the stories we told, the things I learned, and the lifelong friends I made. Happy 60th,
#GH
! I celebrate you 🍾🎉🌹❤️
