Breaking News


Returning
Thom Bierdz returns to Y&R as Phillip Chancellor III as indicated in the last
few minutes of Friday's, May 15, show.


GL Star To AMC!
Stephanie Gatschet (ex-Tammy, GL) has landed a recurring role on ALL MY CHILDREN
as Madison North, according to her official Web site www.stephaniegatschet.com.
Her first air date is reportedly set for June 19.

Big return to Y&R?
Digest's Carolyn Hinsey caught up with Y&R Head Writer Maria Arena Bell at the
Race To Erase MS in LA Friday night, and Bell confirmed the rumor that someone
big is returning to Y&R. She even told Hinsey the date: Friday, May 15. Since we
already know that is Lily and Cane's wedding — and that Cane is in for a big
surprise — Hinsey thinks that it could be Thom Bierdz, the original Phillip
Chancellor. "Nina's back, his grown son has just been cast with GL's John
Driscoll, and Maria Bell is all about undoing everything Lynn Latham did,"
theorizes Hinsey. "Either that, or she finally talked her sister-in-law Lauralee
Bell (Chris) into coming back." Tune in Friday to find out...

Hearst Back To B&B
According to a report on TV Guide online, Rick Hearst, who was recently bumped
to recurring status on GH, where he has been playing Sonny's little brother Ric
Lansing since 2002, has been snapped up by B&B to reprise the role of Whipple
"Whip" Jones. Hearst originated Whip in 2002 but was let go a few months later,
then cast on GH. When we last saw Whip, he had just annulled his marriage to
Brooke and relocated to Forrester Creations in Europe.

GL Fans Rally
Get your rally on to save GUIDING LIGHT! Devoted fans have organized a Save The
Light Rally on May 22 in New York City. The group is scheduled to meet at 7:30
a.m. outside of the CBS Early Show at 5th Avenue and 59th Street in Manhattan.
For more information and updates about the rally, visit

GUIDING LIGHT
— CBS

GL's Future Addressed
TeleNext addressed rampant online rumors that GL is currently in talks with both
Lifetime and Oxygen networks in effort to find the soap a new home. In a
statement, Senior VP Brian T. Cahill said, "We continue to explore all our
options to find a new home for GUIDING LIGHT. At this point, we are not able to
comment or speculate about any potential partnerships. Our conversations are
ongoing and, in the interest of keeping them moving forward, we cannot offer any
additional perspective. We will certainly communicate broadly if and when a
decision is made about the future of the show. We thank all our loyal fans for
their continued outpouring of support."


Tom Pelphrey Returns to GL
Tom Pelphrey is set to reprise his role as GL's Jonathan sometime this summer, a
rep confirms. Air dates have not been released. The actor relocated to Los
Angeles when he left the show in 2007. He last returned to the show for a series
of episodes in early 2008 to help wrap up the Jonathan/Lizzie/baby Sarah
storyline.

and that of her baby's with Jack and seek therapy When she meets with the
therapist she informs her about her being with Nick, Billy and Jack, along with
stealing items, the therapist begins to lay out the reasons why she's doing the
things she's doing, Sharon gets upsets and ends the session. She soon finds
herself in the bar face-to-face with Nick, who sees that she's upset. When he
begins to embrace her she tells him that he needs to leave her alone and she
leaves, headed back to the Abbott mansion. Once there she starts going through a
box of things and finds a picture that Cassie drew as a little girl of her
family. Emotions overcome Sharon and she soon tells Jack that maybe it would be
best for them to leave Genoa City but Jack talks her out of the idea. Later that
day Sharon bumps into Billy and blurts out that he may not be the only person
who could be the father. She points out that despite it all Jack realizes and
understands that he may not be the baby's father. When Jack returns she tells
him that she just can't keep Nick out of her life; while back at the office,
Phyllis and Nick are discussing his ex. After agreeing to move on and start
their lives together, the two make love. Meanwhile, Sharon tells Jack that she
is going to let Nick know that she's pregnant and that he could be the father.

his advice Sharon bypasses a telephone call from Nick and heads to Cassie's
grave only to find Nick there as well.

Sony Interview with Della Reese May 15, '09 6:56 PM
by Patricia for group yrfans2



Sony Interview with Della Reese

Della Reese Illuminates

Della Reese began singing in Detroit at the tender age of six. As a teenager,
she toured with acclaimed gospel singer Mahalia Jackson. After touring the world
as a singer and with many hits in her repertoire, Della tried her hand at
acting, playing Rose on The Mod Squad, followed by many star-making turns in
television and film, but it was her role as the angelic supervisor named Tess in
Touched by an Angel that united her fans from the past with a new young fan
base. Her tough but tender performance brought a little heaven down to earth.
Y&R tapped Della to play Devon's (Bryton) great Aunt Virginia who delivers some
surprising revelations at Cane (Daniel Goddard) and Lily's (Christel Khalil)
nuptials on May 15 and 18. Find out what she had to say about her friendships
with her co-stars, touching lives and President Barack Obama.
How did this role come about?

"In September 2008, Y&R invited me to come on the show but I fell down and broke
my knee and fractured my shoulder. I thought that I missed my chance to come on
the show, but they called again. They kept in touch with me and said when I was
feeling better to come on over, and I did. I'm doing great!"

Tell us about your character…

"Aunt Virginia came to Cane and Lily's wedding to reveal something that nobody
in the cast knew before. She came to reveal that Devon was not related to some
of the people that he thought he was related to. She is the great Auntie
Virginia, and so she knew the history dating back to when they were all
children. Virginia is able to give Devon some information about his biological
father and others that Devon thought he was related to."

Have you worked with Kristoff St. John (Neil) before?

"Yes I have! I have known Kristoff for a long time. I teach metaphysics, and he
took classes with me. At one time, I thought he might become my son-in-law but
it didn't work out that way. We have since worked together on various shows and
projects."

Were you a fan of The Young and the Restless?

"I am not a big fan of soap operas, but I do watch The Young and the Restless
from time to time to see how Kristoff is doing."

You have a history in music, TV and film. How does daytime compare?

"It is a different kind of production, but it is basically the same thing. You
memorize your lines, you hit your mark, and you stand where you are told."

Did you enjoy your day with the cast?

"I had a great time. I enjoyed meeting the cast. I met a couple of young people
that I had not met before. It was a very interesting shoot. Bryton, the young
man that I deliver the information to, is a very gentle, talented young man.
Rare indeed. I had several scenes with him and enjoyed working with him
tremendously. I enjoy working with Jamia [Ana] as well. She is an old soul! She
brought me some very deep subjects to talk about in between scenes. She's a 90
year- old wrapped up in a young body! One of the things I loved about her was
that she kept referring to the wonderfulness of her father, mother and sister."

Has anyone brought you up to speed on the storyline?

"I didn't need any background. They covered it all in the script. It was a very
simple thing for me to do."

Do you think you would enjoy a return visit?

"I am sure they could entice me to come back." [She smiled]

What things do you have on your plate right now?

"I am traveling and singing. I am a pastor of a church right now that keeps me
very busy. I am writing a series that will give people the same feeling as
Touched by an Angel but doesn't have anything to do with Touched by an Angel.
That show has been off the air for 5 years now, and people still stop me in the
streets and tell me how much that show touched them. For example, I was in
Dallas a week ago, and a lady came up to me and took hand. She said 'I want to
thank you because Touched by an Angel helped me make it through when my sister
was murdered.'"

Looking at your resume and seeing how you got your start singing gospel, went on
to become an actress and later a reverend, I thought how rare that someone gets
to incorporate all their talents into one role like you did on Touched by an
Angel.

"It was a wonderful experience! I also was able to help the writers with
scripture because they didn't know it as well as I did. In the house that I was
raised, we had to remember and recite a passage from the bible to get to eat,
and you couldn't just repeat the one you recited the day before or you would
have to leave the table and find a new one before you could eat. It was one of
the greatest things, if not the greatest thing, that I have ever done, which was
working on that show."

"And it touched so many lives! One lady came up to me in the ladies room and
said she had the pills in her hand and she saw no reason not to take them
because she didn't want to live any more. She said that she went into the living
room and the show was on and it happened to be an episode where a lady was about
to commit suicide. She watched the episode and threw away the pills. What the
episode reflected, the theme, like so many, touched her and let her know that
she had a lot to live for."

"People always need an option, a new way of looking at something. That is what
Touched by an Angel did and the series that I am working on. You don't have to
take that road. You can take another road."

Did any of the cast of The Young and the Restless guest on Touched by an Angel?

"Jeanne Cooper (Katherine) was on our show and I worked with her today as well."

Do you stay in touch with any of your Touched by an Angel co-stars?

"Roma Downey is like my daughter and I am the godmother to her daughter. We see
each other all of the time. That is one thing about Roma and I, we never had to
"learn" each other. It seemed like we had always known each other, and we
started working together right away. We just clicked."

How did you feel about the recent election?

"I never thought I would see that in my lifetime. Ever! I am so proud of the
black man that is the first black president. This particular black man is just
an exceptional human being. It just turns me on. He is so real and honest. I
watched a news segment of the Easter egg hunt on the White House front lawn.
There he was, gravitating to the littlest child and picked him up so that he
could put an egg in his basket. It is just such a symbol to his character that
he is there to help the little guy. A real human being."

Y&R,Daytime Confidential Spoilers May 15, '09 4:24 PM
by Patricia for group yrfans2
Devon
When his Great-Aunt Virginia appears at Cane and Lily's reception she has some
big news for him, Tyra is NOT a Hamilton! She's not related to his family by
blood and the thing that is even more eye-opening, she's always known!! Devon's
Aunt then gives him a letter written by his birth mother Yolanda that was for
his birth father. When he reads it he finds out that his bio-dad knows NOTHING
about him.
He's always been under the illusion that he was some random junkie or some john
that his mom slept with and didn't want anything to do with him when they found
out about him. Sounds like a Maury show in the making. Devon unleashes his fury
on Tyra for knowing that she wasn't a blood relative but fortunately for her,
he's too preoccupied with finding out that his father never knew about him. It
has his mind wondering what type of man he is and if he would be open to the
idea of having a son...

Paul
Ever since he bumped into Mary Jane at Murph and Kay's wedding, he can't shake
the feeling that he knows her from somewhere. The instances that the two have
met afterwards, Mary Jane hasn't done a thing to warrant Paul's suspicions but
he still can't wonder what is it about her and starts to search into her past.
Paul finds out that her resume is not legit and knows that she's very careful
and doesn't give anything away to make you wonder if she's on the up and up.
Later on, Paul tells Nikki about his reservations about Mary Jane and the two
wonder what the real story behind the PR genius.

Jack
He finds out that baby brother Billy and Sharon did the deed and could be the
father of her baby. He tells Sharon that he still wants to raise the baby with
her.

Ashley
She's taken to the hospital after suffering some bleeding. Ash and baby Newman
are OK however, Victor finds some clippings of Sabrina in Ashley's bag. Victor
then enlists Olivia to find a shrink for her.

Phyllis/Nick/Sharon
Big red lets Nick know that she does not want Sharon to be a factor in their
marriage. The joke is on Phyllis because Nick pulls Sharon into a passionate
kiss and lets her know he wants out of HIS marriage! Meanwhile Sharon makes a
huge choice that will affect all..

Raul/Mac/Billy/Chloe
The Chancellors and Abbotts have a Memorial Day party together and the fireworks
aren't the explosive things at the event... Raul shows up and plants a huge kiss
on Mac! Seems that while in Darfur, the duo met up again and Raul popped the
question to Mac! She accepted his hand in marriage but wasn't quite ready to
come back with him to Washington. Billy is pissed when he finds this all out and
its killing him inside and this doesn't go unnoticed by wife Chloe... Due to
this revelation, the fashionista makes a life-altering decision that could ruin
her family. Chloe and baby Delia move back into the Chancellor estate.

Rumors
One or possibly two Genoa City family will be a few family members light during
the holidays.

Y&R,Sharon/Nick/Phyllis/Jack Merry Go-Round May 15, '09 7:28 AM
by Patricia for group yrfans2













SOD - Sharon/Nick/Phyllis/Jack Merry Go-Round

Despite the fact that Jack, Billy or Nick could be the father of her child,
Sharon has decided to form a family with Jack and stay as far away from Nick as
possible -- but this week, that proves to be more difficult than expected.

In an effort to get her life back on the right tracks, Sharon goes to see a
therapist, but the session doesn't go quite the way she wants it to. "The
therapist goes to Sharon's GCAC suite," explains Sharon Case. "Sharon doesn't
want to go to Jack's home because it's too busy. She tells the doctor about all
the men and the stealing and depression. But when the doctor starts to give her
opinion as to why Sharon was acting that way, Sharon disagrees and decides the
therapy session is over. She runs out upset."

Sharon ends up at the GCAC bar, where she runs into Nick. He sees that she's
emotional and angry and tells her that she looks awful. Though Sharon tries to
keep her distance, Nick is too concerned to stay away. "He embraces her and asks
her to tell him what's wrong, but she tells him to leave her alone," says Case.
"She's always pushing him away because she doesn't want to be the reason for his
marriage to Phyllis falling apart."

Says Morrow, "Nick has been trying to stay away from Sharon, but he hasn't been
successful at it. He makes a slight concerted effort to honor her wishes, but
the pull back to her is too strong. He's just not able to distance himself from
her the way he sh ould and the way everybody wants him to."

Later, Sharon goes to the Abbott Mansion and starts rifling through a box of her
personal belongings. She comes across the "My Family" picture that Cassie drew
before she does. Says Case, "She's hit with a wave of emotion. Everything is
getting difficult to handle."

Sharon's solution to Jack? Leave Genoa City! "She suggests they move out of town
for a year with the baby," notes Case. "She thinks that isolating herself from
Nick and Billy and everything would give her a chance to focus on the baby and
Jack and building a family, and forget the fact that Jack might not be the
father."

Jack, however, isn't so convinced that this is a good idea. "He knows she
doesn't really want to leave town. Noah's here, her mother's here, her life is
here. Running away isn't going to solve anything," explains Peter Bergman.

The web becomes even more tangled when Sharon bumps into Billy at the house and
accidentally reveals that there are three possible fathers to her baby. "She
covers by saying that Jack knows he might not be the father," clarifies Case.
"But it's beginning to turn into a juggling act keeping track of who knows
what."

Finally, Sharon admits to Jack that she needs Nick in her life. "At first, she
realizes it herself and then says it out loud to Jack," says Case. "She feels
bad for saying it, but she wants to be honest." Smiles Bergman, "I've gotta say
Jack, in this situation, is a real mensch. He understands that she still has
ties to Nick."

At the same time, Nick and Phyllis also have a heart-to-heart. During their
talk, Nick reveals that he still feels guilty for the way he treated Sharon
following Cassie's death. Phyllis points out that he needs to let go of Sharon.
"Phyllis always knows that Nick is kind of sniffing around Sharon. She knows he
can't fully turn the page on her. I think what's getting lost in the story is
that Nick is really struggling with this. It's not like he's bouncing back and
forth between these two women with reckless abandon. It's really tearing him up
inside. Say what you want about Nick, but he's a good guy," explains Morrow.

Back at the Abbott house, Sharon decides that she wants to tell Nick she could
be carrying his child. However, Jack stops her. "It's very clear that the
potential for blowing up Nick and Phyllis's family is very real," says Bergman.
"Why go there?" Jack ends up telling Sharon that there's no point in destroying
Nick's marriage when she doesn't even know if he's the father of her baby in the
first place. Ultimately, Sharon decides that this is a logical reason to keep
quiet... for now.

Later, Nick calls and Sharon takes Jack's advice by ignoring the phone. However,
it's also the anniversary of Cassie's death and both Nick and Sharon end up
visiting her grave at the exact same time. There, Nick reveals to Sharon that he
needs her because he can't mourn their daughter alone, and the two of them can't
help but lean on one another.

Will Sharon tell the truth?

B&B,Bradly Bell Interview May 17, '09 5:27 AM
by Patricia for group yrfans2

Brad Bell







B&B Executive Producer and Head Writer BRADLEY BELL



On the stage of The Bold and the Beautiful at CBS in Los Angeles, Brad Bell and
his producers, colleagues, crew members and some of his stellar cast including:
Lesley-Anne Down, Brandon Beemer, Susan Flannery, Jennifer Gareis and Jack
Wagner – gathered to celebrate the series nomination for the 36th annual Daytime
Emmys.
We caught up with Brad, who not only discussed the nominations, but previewed
what's to come on the show now that Don Diamont, Rick Hearst and Jackie M., are
going to take front and center stage.
Here are some thoughts from executive producer, head writer, and Emmy-nominated
Brad Bell!

What shows did you submit for competition that got you into the final three of
the Outstanding
Daytime Drama Series category?

BRAD:
We submitted the shows where Storm took his life to save his sister. So, heavy
drama, mostly hospital scenes with great family drama, and tragedy and triumph,
and everything that goes into drama! We did submit those two back-to-back
episodes, and did submit the same shows for writing and directing. Those were my
special shows in the whole run of this series, I think.


Did you feel, with the Storm suicide/heart transplant story, that this was your
big shot to nab the prize? Did you feel good about your submission?

BRAD:
Absolutely! I thought this year was better than what we had in previous years. I
thought the story with Betty White and Stephanie going home to confront her
mother was strong, but this one was top tier. So, we will keep our fingers
crossed

Were you shocked there were only three nominees in the category?

BRAD:
Totally shocked! Maria Arena Bell (head writer and co-executive producer, "Y&R")
sent me a nice email already. It is a shock because "Y&R", in the ratings, is by
far and above the top show. It's a brilliant show and deserves to be nominated.
So, it's hard to understand. But, it's great to be nominated and it's great that
a show from each network is represented in the finals, and it's great for all
the networks.

How do you feel about the Emmy broadcast being on the CW and not on a major
network that carries daytime soap opera?

BRAD:
I think it would be great if it was on one of the networks that airs these
shows, but we are in a time of change. I hope this will deliver good ratings for
the CW, and we will find a new home, and it will be fresh and interesting.

Do you think the networks are looking to see how it does this year?

BRAD:
I think so. It's a time where programmers are making up their minds and forming
their opinions of where things need to be heading, and what's best for the
networks.

Now that Guiding Light was cancelled did you ever think of trying to make "B&B"
go to an hour?

BRAD:
I am very happy to have a half hour show, and it's wonderful to be that.

Big news is that Rick Hearst who just left his role on General Hospital is
coming back to "B&B" to reprise his role of Whip Jones. Will he have a romance?
What can we expect?

BRAD:
Yes, Whip Jones is back. We will have some new romances on the show.
I think with Bill Spencer, played by Don Diamont, and Whip, played by Rick
Hearst; we will also go back to the fashion house part of our storytelling.
Jackie M. has emerged as the new Spectra. There was nothing like Sally Spectra,
but now we have a `cougar' running a fashion house in Jackie.

Is Jackie turning a bit more to the dark side?

BRAD:
Well, it's going to continue to be sexy, and there are wonderful and unique
relationships that come up. We are building around Jackie M., and now Spencer
Publications is in the middle of the mix. So you have two fashion houses, Bill
Spencer in the middle, and it's wonderful and all new and exciting.

How did you nab Rick Hearst to return to "B&B"?

BRAD:
I had heard he was let go. There are only a few people in the history of our
show that you can bring back. And, Rick is such a great actor, and there was a
need for someone like him. So I jumped on it.

Will Whip be entangled again with Brooke?

BRAD:
Brooke, The Jackie M group, and Stephanie….We are going back to Forrester being
about heavy drama, and Jackie M being a contrast to that. There is a lot of
drama, but also there will be lots of fun. We are bringing camp back, which was
popular in the 80's and the 90's. It's time to have fun again, and I think
that's the difference you will see in the show in the next six months to a year.
We are going to have more comedy, silliness, and craziness… and it should be a
fun to watch.

Lesley–Anne Down is really doing a great job. Jackie Marone is truly in charge
here!

BRAD:
It works so well, because Jackie is going to lead this fashion house. She is
like a Bond girl. We are writing her as the boss, and she is going to handle all
these guys, and she is not about to fall in love overnight.

But many this week thought perhaps she was crossing the line in sexual
harassment of Owen. What is your take on Jackie's point of view?

BRAD:
It's interesting. It's about a woman in control. Owen is like this surfer dude
who's come up and into this fashion world, and obviously he is falling for this
woman. He is intrigued by her. She is like no one he has ever met, and he is the
one who is going to fall head over heels. While she will be like, "No, get a
grip! Try to control yourself." A lot of people would think Owen would be the
one calling the shots, but she is the one in charge

What about Madame X? Will Bridget ever have her own man?

BRAD:
Bridget's going to have her own man, soon.

Would you ever consider bringing back Deacon, played by Sean Kanan, at this
point in time to mix things up even more with Jackie and the gang?

BRAD:
Sean as Deacon is wonderful! Right now, we are on to Bill Spencer and the return
of Whip, but don't rule anything out. Sean is a great actor, a wild-card, and
can cause trouble for the lives of the characters on our show

B/B,Susan Flannery(Stephanie Forrester) Interview May 15, '09 4:29 PM
by Patricia for group yrfans2


The Bold and the Beautiful celebrated on their set at CBS this morning with a
small get together of colleagues, nominees and performers. Brad Bell presided
over the proceedings in honor of the show's six nominations. Particularly
satisfying was the recognition of the only half hour soap into the final three
for Outstanding Daytime Drama Series. The cast, some of the crew and producers
shared cake and congratulated each other on the big announcements.

Susan Flannery received another nomination in the Outstanding Lead Actress
category and was present at the event. I caught up with her to get her immediate
feedback on this memorable day and the Emmy process.

Does it feel any different this time getting an acting nomination in the Lead
Actress category for the
one-hundredth time? You have
won four times previously!

SUSAN:
I don't know about the hundredth time, but if you live long enough it comes back
around. It's great fun and I am delighted

What did you submit this year?

SUSAN:
It was when Eric was supposedly dead in the bed in the house. And, it's like a
miracle that he comes back to life. There is a little monologue in there, and
that was the only thing I had, really.

Did you feel good about your chances with it to make it to the finals in your
category?

SUSAN:
The show aired and John McCook (Eric) came running into me saying, "I just got a
call from a friend of mine, who I had not heard from in awhile, who teaches
drama, who every now and then watches "B&B". She said, "What is that monologue
that Susan Flannery did today? I want to get a copy of it to use for my acting
class." John said, "Oh, you probably won't be able to get a copy because she
re-wrote the whole thing!" (She laughs) But it sort of stuck in my head, and
when Casey our associate producer was coming up with ideas to submit, he said,
"What about the one with the monologue?" and I said, "OK. Just put it in". That
was my shot!

Did you speak yet with the other actress in your category?

SUSAN:
I just got off the phone with Jeanne Cooper (Katherine, "Y&R") who was at the
airport. I left a message for Susan Haskell (Marty, "OLTL"), and I left a
message for Maura West (Carly. "ATWT"), but I have not a chance to get a hold of
Debbi Morgan (Angie, "AMC") yet.

What do you think of the group that made into the final five in your category?

SUSAN:
I am very happy to see three fresh faces. I said to Jeanne, "We could have said,
"No, you know, and let two more of them in." It's so nice to see that. That it
is not a constant rotation and sometimes that is what happens. I think that is
the result of certain people getting in an arc in their career, with three of
four nominations in a row and then it goes. I am thrilled for Jeanne, and I was
so surprised at her 80th birthday that I had no idea that Jeanne had never won
till last year. I was just stunned! I always thought she had a few more. I was
thrilled for her again this year.

Are you happy about the other nominations for "B&B"? The show got six nods!

SUSAN:
I am very happy for our nominations for Outstanding Drama Series and Outstanding
Writing. And, I said to Brad Bell (executive producer and head writer), "You are
not going to retire if you win! Because I know that is what he wants to do. As
soon as he wins Best Writing its over! (She laughs) But I am thrilled for him. I
was surprised to see that it was three shows that made the final Outstanding
Drama Series category. I guess that is because of the way they counted so many
votes. We had a big committee meeting on this. I was suggesting to them over and
over, that it should be one show submission per actor. People are not going to
sit at home when you have 22 actors to watch. We should be allowed to edit the
show down, so we can compact it, and you can see the performance together. So,
if an actor is sitting in the courtroom, but he is just a shot to the audience,
you should not have to watch that. We were able to push all of that together. I
think that helps, as well as, going back to number one, number two, number
three…and ranking them in the judging process. I think with Outstanding Dramas
Series, they probably had so many number one votes on those three shows that the
other ones fell below a range. That's just my guess.

Do you like that there is no second round of voting this year for the final
nominees, and that the winner is already known based on the one tape submission?

SUSAN:
The only way a second round works now is if you can have people come in and sit
and vote in a hotel or a room like we used to. But people don't want to do that
any more. They don't want to give up their Saturdays. We are in a fast paced
society now, and we are lucky we got so many people to come out and vote for the
president. I am thrilled to be here again. I know Jeanne is, and I am thrilled
for Susan, Maura and Debbi. I am also happy for Christian LeBlanc (Michael,
"Y&R) and it was nice to see Peter Reckell (Bo, "DAYS") get one. Ed Scott
(Ex-executive producer) was over there for part of the year. I have a feeling Ed
Scott may have had something to do with his performance that time.

How do you feel that once again your on-screen acting partner, the amazing
Katherine Kelly Lang (Brooke), failed to get nominated alongside you?

SUSAN:
That was my first question today, "Where's Kelly?" and I say that every year. I
don't know what it is or why it is. It's just one of those things in life. I
have scenes with her today, so I will see her then.

Do you think the Daytime Emmys are important, and today is important to
celebrate the achievement of your colleagues?

SUSAN:
I am happy for every show and it's a small community. We specialize in a genre
in and of itself. So, whoever gets a nomination, I am particularly thrilled for.

What did you think when you found out that none of the three major networks that
are carrying soap operas, decided not to be home to the Emmy broadcast this
year? Instead it went to the CW.

SUSAN:
I am not surprised only because of the ratings, and everything is changing. I am
delighted the CW is taking it, which I think is part of the CBS family. I am
glad that Les Moonves (President and CEO of CBS) supported it to go to the CW.

What is the best part of being an official "Daytime Emmy Nominee"?

SUSAN:
As you know, we started a tradition that every year we have lunch with the
ladies. Last year's winner picks up the tab and all of us go to lunch together
to celebrate as a group. Of course, winning is a good part, but I say this to
everyone of us, "Today is the best day, and right up until they say your name in
the envelope, and
who the winner is, you are
all winners," and that's the
nicest time.

the scene and informs Remy there might be an open spot for Remy at SPD. Remy
realizes he's still holding Edmund's coat and is shocked when a bag of flawless
diamonds falls out of the lining. Mallet explains to Dinah they found Edmund's
body floating in the water. Remy closes his hand full of diamonds when Mallet
walks up. Mallet takes the coat for evidence. Remy explains to Mallet that he
remembers hearing voices when he was with Christina. Mallet learns that the body
was in the water for an hour or two and realizes Remy and Christina could have
heard Edmund's voice.

Devon: When his Great-Aunt Virginia appears at Cane and Lily's reception she has
some big news for him, Tyra is NOT a Hamilton! She's not related to his family

Devon's Aunt then gives him a letter written by his birth mother Yolanda that
was for his birth father. When he reads it he finds out that his bio-dad knows
NOTHING about him.
He's always been under the illusion that he was some random junkie or some john

out about him. Sounds like a Maury show in the making. Devon unleashes his fury
on Tyra for knowing that she wasn't a blood relative but fortunately for her,
he's too preoccupied with finding out that his father never knew about him. It
has his mind wondering what type of man he is and if he would be open to the
idea of having a son...

Paul: Ever since he bumped into Mary Jane at Murph and Kay's wedding, he can't
shake the feeling that he knows her from somewhere. The instances that the two
have met afterwards, Mary Jane hasn't done a thing to warrant Paul's suspicions
but he still can't wonder what is it about her and starts to search into her
past. Paul finds out that her resume is not legit and knows that she's very
careful and doesn't give anything away to make you wonder if she's on the up and
up. Later on, Paul tells Nikki about his reservations about Mary Jane and the
two wonder what the real story behind the PR genius.

Jack: He finds out that baby brother Billy and Sharon did the deed and could be
the father of her baby. He tells Sharon that he still wants to raise the baby
with her.

Ashley: She's taken to the hospital after suffering some bleeding. Ash and baby
Newman are OK however, Victor finds some clippings of Sabrina in Ashley's bag.
Victor then enlists Olivia to find a shrink for her.

Phyllis/Nick/Sharon: Big red lets Nick know that she does not want Sharon to be
a factor in their marriage. The joke is on Phyllis because Nick pulls Sharon
into a passionate kiss and lets her know he wants out of HIS marriage! Meanwhile
Sharon makes a huge choice that will affect all..

Raul/Mac/Billy/Chloe: The Chancellors and Abbotts have a Memorial Day party
together and the fireworks aren't the explosive things at the event... Raul
shows up and plants a huge kiss on Mac! Seems that while in Darfur, the duo met
up again and Raul popped the question to Mac! She accepted his hand in marriage
but wasn't quite ready to come back with him to Washington. Billy is pissed when
he finds this all out and its killing him inside and this doesn't go unnoticed
by wife Chloe... Due to this revelation, the fashionista makes a life-altering
decision that could ruin her family. Chloe and baby Delia move back into the
Chancellor estate.

Rumors: One or possibly two Genoa City family will be a few family members light
during the holidays.

Daytime Confidential

The Life, Times and Death (?) of Y&R's Phillip Chancellor III

Submitted by Jamey Giddens


WIth the red hot CBS soap The Young and the Restless making waves by bringing
back the wildly popular Thom Bierdz, some newer or casual Y&R viewers are
probably wondering what the significance is of having the actor who played the
original adult Phillip Chancellor III back on the canvas. One DC regular
Blackjack21 emailed us with a request for Phillip's backstory. Since I was only
a mere, randy thought in my teenage parents minds when they storyline began back
in the 70's, I had to break out the trusty Y&R Anniversary Scrapbook, as well as
pay a visit to online soap opera encyclopedia Soap Central to make sure I hit
all the high notes.


Essentially, Phillip was a living, breathing symbol of the enmity between Genoa
City grande dame Katherine Chancellor (Jeanne Cooper) and Jill Foster
(then-Brenda Dickson; now Jess Walton). Jill was a nubile young woman who came
to work as Katherine's manicurist/shampoo girl/girl friday. At first they had a
sort of tragically beautiful mother/daughter relationship, where Jill tended to
a perennially drunken Kay. The bottled water and diamonds hit the fan when Jill
caught the eye of Katherine's husband, industrialist Phillip Chancellor II (John
Considine, Donnelly Rhodes). Kay, who was banging stable boys on the side
herself, prompted her son Brock to romance Jill to prevent the younger woman
from stealing her husband, but not even an arranged marriage to Brock—it was
never consumated— could stop Jill and Phillip's torrid lust for one another.

When Jill announced she was preggars, Phillip filed for divorce, sending Kay
back off the wagon. In one of Y&R's most memorable scenes, Katherine signed
divorce papers, giving up her claim to the Chancellor mansion and freeing
Phillip to be with Jill. Phillip flew to the Dominican Republic, where he
obtained a quicky divorce, then returned to Genoa City, where Kay, desperate to
convince him to stay with her, offered to drive him home from the airport.
During the drive, Kay and Phillip got into an argument where he told her yet
again that it was over between them. A distraught Kay ended up driving the car
over the edge of a cliff. Apparently she never read He's Just Not That Into You.
Kay came out unscathed, but Phillip was critically injured.

At the hospital, Phillip married Jill on his deathbed. Katherine had the
marriage annulled citing her inebriated state when she signed her divorce
papers. This move disinherited Jill and her son Phillip. Kay offered to pay Jill
a million smackers for the tyke, but Jill refused. Kay prevented Phillip from
wearing the Chancellor moniker, instead he grew up going by the name Phillip
Foster.

After marrying Jabot cosmetics tycoon John Abbott (Jerry Douglas)—and later
screwing his son Jack (then-Terry Lester, now Peter Bergman) like a bunny rabbit
in heat— Jill sent Phillip off to boarding school. He returned as a troubled
teenager (Are there really any other kind on soaps?) and bonded with his
stepmother Kay, much to Jill's chagrin. The two women began battling for the
affections of Phillip III much like they had over Phillip II. Kay and Jill even
went to court to fight for custody of Phillip, with the lad telling the judge he
wanted to live with Katherine. When he turned 18, ironically it was Kay who had
to at this point convince Jill to agree to let Phillip wear the Chancellor name.

Phillip as a young man was pretty much the biggest catch in town. Every girl
wanted him, from seductive, department store heiress Lauren Fenmore (Tracey
Bregman), to Nina Webster (Tricia Cast) a girl from the wrong side of the
tracks, but Phillip only had eyes for teen model Christine "Cricket" Blair
(Lauralee Bell). Too bad Cricket had the hots for big-haired rocker Danny
Romalotti (Michael Damien) (Rock On). The foursome were part of a teen/young
adult quad for awhile, with Nina ultimately seducing a drunken Phillip and
getting herself knocked up with his son, the soon-to-be-returning Phillip
Chancellor VI (John Driscoll).

Nina managing to trap Phillip actually brought about a momentary cease fire
between Kay and Jill, as both women vowed to rid the gold-digger from Phillip's
life. Nina proved to be just as good at playing the game as Jill or Kay,
however, and ultimately won Phillip's heart and his hand in marriage. Nina also
became lifelong best friends with Cricket, even though she had stolen the girl's
man. Talk about letting bygones be bygones!

Sadly, Phillip and Nina's happiness was short-lived. An alcoholic like his
stepmother, Phillip couldn't handle the pressures of being a husband and father.
He was killed following a car accident after driving drunk. Or was he...

fire at the Snyder farm. Unfortunately for Paul, Damian happens to see all of
this and snitches to Meg. Meg and Dusty arrive and are able to get Sally to

SoapNet Spoilers for wk of 5/18
« Thread Started on May 16, 2009, 8:28am »

So, what's on tap for the good citizens of Oakdale next week on "As The World
Turns"? We're here to clue you in -- because you won't want to miss one minute
of hijinks.

Y'all remember that Cady McClain is returning to "GL" next week, right? OK,
good! We're totes excited to see Rosanna back in the 'Dale -- and when she
appears on May 20th, she'll reveal where she's been this whole time ... and it
may or may not have to do with past loves. What Paul -- or Craig! -- will do now
that Rosanna is back in town is anyone's guess. (Also, FYI: Rosanna now has a
job that's the last thing you'd expect. Seriously -- it'd be like the Countess
on "Real Housewives of New York City" working at the Salvation Army.)

Speaking of Paul, he's been standing squarely in the way of Meg being with her
daughter full time -- even after Meg tried to prove her loyalty to him as a
"wife." But next week, when faced with a situation he feels he can't get out of,
Paul takes drastic action.

Consequently, Meg convinces Lisa to spy on Paul's mother Barbara to gather
information. Are mother and son in cahoots? Will Meg loose all hope of keeping
her daughter close? Everyone better hope they've recently gotten a good long
look at Eliza, because they might not see her for a while ... The good news in
all of this: Lisa gets major airtime! And hello -- that's enough reason to tune
in.

All this, PLUS: The cat may be outta the bag about Vienna's pregnancy -- and who
the real father is -- but that doesn't mean Katie has forgiven the entire
situation. She still wants a baby, and bad. Vienna, meanwhile, is content to
start a family with Henry -- who, we might add, has been basically buying up the
ENTIRE stock of Oakdale's baby stores. But the erstwhile father-to-be is nowhere
to be found when tragedy strikes Vienna. Oh noes!

What do you think Rosanna's return will bring to Oakdale?

to school, but he refuses.

to her. Later, Casey ends up having to go work with Jade and Hunter and Alison
end up painting together. Hunter asks her out on a date but she explains to him
that she's with Casey. Hunter gets embarrassed and ends up spilling paint on
himself then leaving. Back at the office, Emily asks what happened and he
explains to her as she takes off his shirt. Hunter kisses her and Emily is not
pleased. Hunter apologizes and she explains she had a relationship with a
younger man in the office and she's not doing it again. Hunter decides he should
stick to computers. Meanwhile, Alison feels bad about how things went with
Hunter and when Casey returns she insists they invite Hunter to have lunch with
the two of them. Hunter goes to meet them but when he sees them canoodling, he

Two Scoops - Henry's baby drama, Lucy's betrayal..
« Thread Started on May 12, 2009, 8:09am »
and Jack "the maniac"

I know it's a little early for Father's Day, but with Henry in a front-burner
storyline centering on his impending fatherhood, I feel like celebrating now.
Who's with me? In honor of Henry, grab the martini shaker and some olives,
Scoopers, because it looks like Henry is going to be a baby daddy.

I've been waiting years for Trent Dawson to get a meaty storyline to sink his
dramatic teeth in, and this week gave us a glorious glimpse of hopefully what is
to come. Henry has slowly been unraveling for weeks, since he learned that he,
and not Brad, is the father of Vienna's baby. It all came to a head this week,
when Henry stole the robot baby from the birthing class and subsequently bonded
with the crying little tyke. Henry hasn't wanted to be a father, but this week,
he realized that he did, and the scenes were must-see. His sit-down with Bob to
discuss his fears about fatherhood was heart-warming. Henry called his desire
not to have children "an intellectual decision." Bob countered with a little
intellectualism of his own, and for the first time I think, made Henry realize
what he'll be missing by not having children.

The highlight of the show this week was watching a sobbing Katie as she realized
her best friend had betrayed her and she once again had "lost" a baby. And the
look on Henry's face when he realized the effects his and Vienna's action had on
their best friends, well, it was tough to watch. Henry and Katie have always had
a special connection, and those scenes drove it home. Vienna has so much guilt
about the situation that she still believes giving Brad and Katie her baby is
the way to go. I'm not sure if Vienna is playing with a full deck, considering
how much she wanted a baby and now she's just fine with giving it away. Finally,
Henry has come to the realization that he will not stand by and let someone else
raise his child.

What I don't get is why Henry feels the most responsible for this mess. It was
Vienna's little scheme that started this whole thing, and it was Vienna who
hired a comedienne to pose as a doctor to back up her false claim that Brad was
the father. Yet, in Katie and Brad's eyes, Henry is the one to blame. I can't
wait to see how this tale unfolds or how this affects one of the show's best and
longest friendships between Katie and Henry. One thing is for sure; whether the
bambino is playing football or playing the ponies, with Henry and Vienna's
genes, he or she is sure to be a looker, and this storyline will hopefully
continue to be a charmer.

Meanwhile:

Call me crazy, but I can't imagine what kind of third world country is buying
crates of designer vodka when there is such poverty there that medical supplies
must be smuggled in.


I had to chuckle when Luke said that the Cubs game was "all the way in New
York." Usually, Oakdale residents can commute there in mere minutes.


Kim and Bob mentioned Chris this week. Does that mean he's headed back to
Oakdale soon? I sure hope so. Then, maybe I could stop fast forwarding through
Ali's scenes.


-I may be alone here, but Dusty is working my last nerve. Sometimes, I forget
just how ruthless he can be when he tries to get his way, especially when his
"son" is involved. Then, I remember that this is a guy who has attempted murder
in his past.


I've got a new nickname for Jack. It's "Jack, Jack, The Maniac." He's completely
out of control, holding Craig without charging him and making up his own form of
justice, simply because Jack doesn't like the guy. I miss Hal. At least he ran
the department with some integrity.


There are a lot of well-dressed men in Oakdale: Dusty, Henry and Craig come to
mind. But Damian sets the bar at a whole new level. His sweater and suit combo
this week was fantastic.


What kind of judge would give Dusty custody so quickly and once again uproot
Johnny? And where can I find the judge to thump him/her on the head with the
gavel? Poor Johnny has had so much upheaval in his short life that it breaks my
heart. This week was especially tough for the little guy. His dad didn't come
home for days and his other "daddy" just showed up and announced that oh, sorry,
Craig has gone away. Dusty was so nonchalant, it was as if he were telling the
kid to go get ready for school. I don't care if it was Jennifer's wish that
Dusty raise Johnny. I don't think she'd want him with the thug that Dusty has
become lately.


Move over Jack and Margo, Oakdale's newest crime-fighting team is a hit with me.
Holden and Lucinda went sniffing around to prove Damian's up to no good, and it
was great television. I hope they aren't right about Damian, but I fear they may
be. I think those guns are going to get linked back to him.


I wasn't going to comment on this ridiculous Meg/Paul/Dusty storyline, but
considering it ate up a huge amount of screen time, I suppose I should. I don't
like desperate Meg, but I am enjoying that she's driving Paul crazier with her
allusions that she's having an affair with Dusty. Frankly, I just don't get why
she doesn't file for custody. She looks like a saint, compared to Paul, and I'm
sure Dusty could hire her a talented lawyer to prove just how sadistic Paul
really is.


I wanted to hug Craig this week when he told Carly he had lost both his
children. He felt betrayed by Lucy, yes, but he needs to suck it up and forgive
her considering what he did to her in the past. Then, maybe they can get back to
a real relationship. I wish she hadn't betrayed Craig, but I hope they can get
past this. I don't want to see Craig all alone in the world.


-So how long before Emily ends up in bed with her new "partner?" He's young and
good looking, so I'm betting it won't take long.


No one would ever accuse Dusty of being the least bit metrosexual, so I was
surprised that he had a personalized handkerchief with his initials on it. I
would have taken Dusty to be more of a tissue guy.


Happy Mother's Day to all of you out there. It's my first one as a mom, and I
can truly say, it's the hardest job I've ever had! If you don't have kids, but
have a mother, please take time to appreciate her this week. She deserves it.

Best Lines of the Week:
(Katie tells Henry he shouldn't feel left out of the baby preparations.)
Katie: "You'll be part of the baby's life. You're going to be a godfather. "
Henry: "Please don't call me that. It makes me think I have to put a horse's
head in somebody's bed."

(Senior citizens Bob and Kim discuss Henry's fears about fatherhood and
reminisce.)
Kim: "Were you afraid the first time?"
Bob: "Back when the Earth was cooling?"

(Henry tells Vienna that they are both strange people and that their baby may
follow suit.)
Henry: "We have to keep this baby. We might be the only people who understand
it."

(Craig tells Carly that his new lawyer is furious that the Oakdale police
haven't charged him with a crime but are still holding him in jail.)
Craig: "He keeps saying, 'This isn't Guantanamo Bay.' I told him he should get
to know Oakdale before he insults Guantanamo."

Reader Spotlight:
(From Two Scoops reader Louanne.)
"I have to tell you how much I really like this new incarnation of Craig
Montgomery. I can't remember when I've liked Craig more. I have to admit I was a
little skeptical when I found out they were recasting Craig again, but I think
they got it right this time. I really feel for Craig and believe he is trying to
be a better person now. Sure it was a bone-headed move to give a sixteen year
old kid a $50,000 check, but I believe he really was just trying to help Parker
and he was as surprised as everyone else that he bought a car with the money. No
one wants to give the poor guy any credit for trying to do the right thing. I
was cheering him on when he told both Jack and Carly off and told them he had
enough of their abuse. He has really been trying to be a good friend to both
Carly and her son and she keeps pushing him away. Let's see how well she does
without him. And it was about time he called Jack on his sanctimonious attitude.
I love the Snyder family too, but lately I've had it with both Jack and Holden's
attitudes. Speaking of Holden, I can't wait to see how he reacts when he finds
out his son asked Damian to stay in town. Good move on Luke's part by the way. I
can't wait to see what happens next

That's all for now Scoopers! See ya next time.

Tragedy in Oakdale
« Thread Started on May 11, 2009, 1:37pm »

It's going to be a sad, sad week on As the World Turns, but it's sure to give
Trent Dawson a huge—and rare—dramatic showcase. On May 20, Dawson's comic-relief
character, Henry Coleman, and his ladylove, Vienna (Ewa da Cruz), will lose the
baby they've been expecting. Henry is devastated and blames the tragedy on his
BFF, Katie (Terri Colombino).

It's a messy situation: Vienna volunteered to be a surrogate mother for Katie
and her hubby, Brad (Austin Peck), then hid the fact that the baby she's been
carrying is really Henry's. In scenes airing May 19, Vienna goes to Katie to try
to make amends for her deceit. Katie wants none of it and runs away. Vienna
chases after her and falls, causing a miscarriage.

"Things get pretty ugly between Henry and Katie—he spews a lot of bile at her,"
Dawson says. "He's forgiven her for a lot over the nine years of their
friendship, but he can't forgive this." Henry claimed he didn't want to be a
dad, fearing a continuation of his gene pool (his father's an alcoholic, his
sister's a serial killer). "But the moment he found out the baby was his, the
switch flipped," Dawson notes. "He really wanted that child."

Vienna tries to convince Henry that they can try again. "But he doesn't want to
hear it," says Dawson, who has won three back-to-back Emmy nominations for his
(usually) laugh-filled performance. "I don't know where the writers are taking
this. Grief can do some really weird things to a relationship. Right now,
Henry's running and doesn't want to think about another baby. It's just too
painful."

RUMOR REPORT: Is GL's David Kreizman Going To ATWT
« Thread Started on May 11, 2009, 9:54am »

Don't cry for David Kreizman, Peapack. Rumblings are getting louder that Guiding
Light's last sole head writer is heading over to As The World Turns to co-head
hack that soap opera with Jean Passanante. While we're praying this doesn't
happen, it certainly wouldn't surprise us. We've been hearing for awhile now
that Kreizman isn't happy about GL "co-head writer" Jill Lorie Hurst receiving
so much acclaim for resurrecting the soap creatively.

Kreizman should be glad JLH managed to clean up so many of his and GL executive
producer Ellen Wheeler's messes in such a short amount of time. If only JLH had
been put in as quarterscribe for the Peapack Players a year earlier, we might
not be speculating where GL will go after it leaves the CBS airwaves.

Kreizman did one storyline right during his time as head writer of GL— the
introduction of an adult Jonathan Randall (Tom Pelphrey). The rest of his tenure
reads like an excerpt from Exercises in Soap Operatic Incompetence. So, of
course the only logical thing to do would be to reward him with another soap
opera to maim.

Did Procter and Gamble lose the Rolodex card with Pam Long's name on it or
something? What about Claire Labine, the Dobsons, or I don't know, why not look
outside of daytime for a writer to save ATWT? It worked with Hogan Sheffer. This
move screams of closeknit executives helping out a friend, as opposed to doing
what is best for ATWT. Oh well, I guess ATWT too can always come back as one of
those nifty, fan fic blogs.

FROM SOD

"Phoebe's death continues to loom large, a new face representing an old family
arrives in town and the Old Guard matches wits with the New Guard at Forrester
Creations," says Bradley Bell.

Rick/Steffy
Their romance appears finished now that Steffy has heard Rick's incriminating
comments. "Marcus, disliking Rick intensely, welcomes news of Steffy and Rick's
split. If they resume, will Marcus's outrage prompt him to act?"

Brooke/Taylor/Ridge
Huge challenges arise for Brooke and Ridge's marriage. "Can our supercouple find
the happiness that has eluded them for so long? Or will Pam's clerical error tip
the scales?" Ridge and Taylor continue to be drawn together by their shared
grief and once again, Thomas becomes a center of controversy. "Has Ridge and
Taylor's son truly dealt with his violent rage against Rick?"

Bill Spencer Jr./Donna/Eric
Old rivalries are rekindled with the arrival of Bill Jr. "Donna has caught
Bill's eye. How much would he sacrifice to have her?"

Katie/Nick/Bridget/Owen/Jackie
"Nick wants things to work out with Katie, but no wedding date has been set, and
try as he will, he can't eradicate the thoughts of Bridget." The
Bridget/Owen/Jackie triangle continues.

Forrester Creations/Jackie M
"It's Forrester vs. Forrester, with consequences far more earth-shattering than
either side would ever anticipate." Meanwhile, the in-fighting continues at
Forrester Creations. "Stephanie makes a bold and dangerous move to try and
regain control of Forrester for Ridge, Thorne and Felicia. Little does she
realize the Pandora's box she is opening."
