Background: Errol is one of the premier voices covering all five daily daytime dramas, including "Beyond the Gates," "The Bold and the Beautiful," "Days of our Lives," "General Hospital" and "The Young and the Restless." He began watching soaps in 1993, around the time Luke and Laura Spencer returned to “General Hospital,” but they weren’t what got him watching regularly. “It was Lucy Coe and her duck Sigmond,” he says of how he got started with soaps.
He received his BA from Baruch College, double-majoring in English Literature and Journalism, and double-minoring in Communications and Psychology. He also holds an AA in Business Administration.
Daytime game shows “Let’s Make a Deal” and “The Price is Right” have extended their holiday break due to increased cases of COVID-19 in L.A. County.
Dana Sparks (“Passions”) is joining the cast of “The Young and the Restless” as a specialist hired to help Chelsea following her recent stroke.
Denise Alexander is set to reprise her role of Lesley Webber on “General Hospital” following news of Lesley’s daughter, Laura, gaining two paternal half brothers.
Today would have marked “All My Children’s” 51st birthday, and thankfully there’s a bright future ahead for the soap on ABC.
You might want to start referencing “The Bold and the Restless” starting next week when daytime’s hottest soaps crossover for an intriguing storyline.
