Former Young & Restless Star Daniel Goddard Says His Time on the Show ‘Amounted to Nothing'
Here is everything you need to know about Goddard's latest statement regarding the popular soap opera.
Daniel Goddard, a former star of The Young and the Restless, recently began portraying Professor Henry Dalton on General Hospital. In a recent interview with Woman's World, Goddard discussed his new role and reflected on his time on The Young and the Restless. He mentioned that he had stepped away from acting but was invited to audition for the role of Jack Brennan on General Hospital. However, at the time, he was focused on his business ventures.
The 53-year-old also shared that it was difficult for him to get back to auditioning after stepping away from acting. He said, 'I had a lot of hesitation because I had a lot of fear. Fear of not being good, of failing, of letting down a fanbase.' Goddard added how 'those 12 years or so on Y&R amounted to nothing, because I was back to auditioning.'
However, Goddard managed to overpower his fear and had a great time auditioning. He shared, 'When I left, I thought, 'Geez, I missed that!' Because I hadn't auditioned in four years. I had no intention of going back to acting, but it was a moment of awakening for me.'
Daniel Goddard discussed the differences between working on both shows. He explained that in The Young and the Restless, actors receive the entire script, which allows them to see what other characters are saying about them. 'I was also always going into the writers' room to read scripts four weeks ahead, so I'd know where the character was going,' he said. On the other hand, in General Hospital, he only receives the pages that include his own character.

Man Gets Lego Gift After Fighting Brain Cancer—What He Builds Shocks Wife
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. For a couple online, grand romantic gestures take focused mental work—but they are so worth it. In a TikTok video, Alli Young revealed the simple, yet elaborate, act of her husband, Brett, delivering her water bottle via a massive Lego crane—something she said truly defines their relationship. Young told Newsweek about the engineering feat that has gone viral with over 223,000 likes. "Oh, your man likes to go out and party and doesn't text you back for hours on end? That's cool, mine delivers me my water bottle via a Lego crane that he spent all weekend building," Young captioned the video, which shows the large, intricate Lego crane delivering her bottle.

The specific crane featured in the video was a Father's Day gift from her. "He spent every spare second over two days building it," Young said. "He works in construction management." While Young herself admitted she has never been into Lego, she said she deeply appreciates Brett's passion: "When he builds something he's proud of, it always makes me happy to see," she added. "It's like he gets transported back to being a little kid, and it's honestly just very fun to watch." The nine-second clip, Young said, offers a glimpse into the couple's unique dynamic. "You get a good idea of who we are, which sounds dumb, but hear me out," she added, describing Brett as "very meticulous and likes things done a certain way," while she is "the more extroverted, 'out there' one." The water-bottle delivery perfectly illustrates their balance of personalities, Young said: "Me asking him to bring me my water bottle and him using the crane to do it is his fun, playful side, but then you watch him at the end looking around the corner to make sure it makes it over the rug—back to his meticulous side showing through." Inspired by the overwhelming positive response to the video, Young said that Brett has now started his own TikTok account to show off more of his Lego collection. The story behind Brett's dedication to Lego, though, goes much deeper than just a hobby. Two years ago, their lives were shaken when they found out that Brett had a brain tumor. During his recovery from a craniotomy to remove the cancer, all of his friends put money together to buy him a huge Lego set to build while he was recovering. Young said she firmly believes that "the combination of doing something he loved and doing something to physically help his brain was what helped him heal." And, today, Brett is fully recovered, cancer-free and starting to teach the couple's 2-year-old daughter how to build small Lego sets. For Young, even though she doesn't fully understand the appeal of Lego, as she concluded: "I can see how much he loves it, which makes me love it just a little bit."

After Martin found a shocking letter addressed to Monica, General Hospital fans are certain they know who the mystery sender is. And spoiler: she's not from Port Charles. Sister, Sister At the end of the July 22 episode of GH, Martin (Michael E. Knight) discovered a letter under Drew's (Cameron Mathison) living room chair addressed to Monica (the late Leslie Charleson). It had been colored on by the kids, and when Martin read it, he seemed shocked at what he was reading. GH fans on X (formerly Twitter) were quick to theorize about the letter, and their number one suspect was One Life To Live alum Erika Slezak's upcoming character. 'Was that letter Martin read a hint of La Slezak's return to daytime?' a viewer wondered, while another questioned, 'Letter from Monica's sister Viki?' 'There have been rumors that Erika Slezak will be portraying Monica's sister in the fall so maybe it's from her?' one fan guessed, while another agreed, 'That Dear Monica letter has to be Erika Slezak's character coming to Port Charles.' It's uncertain at this time whether Slezak is coming on GH as her beloved OLTL character Viki Lord, or a new character entirely. Guesses Galore But Slezak wasn't the only viable suspect. 'Crazy out there theory,' a fan began. 'What if Drew really is Shiloh (Coby Ryan McLaughlin) and had the real Drew locked away and that letter is the real Drew reaching out to Monica?' READ THIS: Here's what's coming up this week on GH. Meanwhile, one viewer has a good guess about what they thought might happen: 'I thought Martin was going to throw out his back when he knelt down to grab a piece of paper under the chair at Drew's house and try to sue him.
