MELODY'S WEDDING BELLS
It's a relief to know Entertainment Tonight isn't concerned only with
covering weirdo weddings like that of disgraced
schoolmarm Mary Kay LeTourneau and her former pupil. On July 5, CBS
will air Celebrity Weddings Unveiled, an hourlong ET
prime-time special featuring two respectable brides — Holly Robinson-
Peete and The Young and the Restless star Melody Thomas
Scott (Nikki) — renewing vows with their husbands.
"OK, wait, we gotta straighten that out right off the bat," Scott
tells TVGuide.com with a laugh. "My husband [Y&R
supervising producer Ed Scott] and I do not agree with the
term 'renewing vows.' It somehow intimates there's something wrong
with the original ones! Ours are still intact. I told ET that, and
their producer loved it because we're the only ones who've
ever said that. So we're billing it as celebrating our first 20
years."
After Nikki's many marriages on Y&R, you'd think another televised
wedding wouldn't appeal to Scott, who's way more laid-back
in real life than her uppity socialite character.
"ET heard we were celebrating our 20th anniversary and they
approached us," she says. "It was completely their idea [to have
a ceremony]. All of a sudden, we were told, 'You have 10 days to put
on a huge, formal wedding at the Wynn Las Vegas. Call
your 25 nearest and dearest. We're flying them all in, no expense
spared!' [Ed and I] are very low-key people, and we'd never
have done this ourselves, but they just made it too wonderful to turn
down. They tempted me with Harry Winston jewels,
designer gowns and Donald Trump's wedding coordinator. So my poor
husband is just indulging me like a good sport."
RESTLESS ROMANCE
Y&R heartthrob Thad Luckinbill (J.T.) is having himself a Mac attack.
Not only is he continuing J.T. and Mac's on-screen
relationship with the recast Rachel Kimsey, it appears he's still
romancing former Mac Ashley Bashioum on his off time. Thad
and Ashley were quite cuddly and close when this reporter ran into
them at a recent party in L.A. Talk about a cute couple.
Speaking of cuties, visit Caught in the Act to see an exclusive photo
of me and Thad!
As the World Turns

share their feelings. When Jennifer goes looking for Dusty, she ends
up encountering his lovely lover, Meg, instead.
Jennifer's deceitful scheming to rid herself of Craig backfires big
time, driving Mike into the arms of her rival. Yes,
that's right, Katie and Mike finally rekindle their old flame and
experience a can't-miss sexual reawakening with one
another!
The Bold and the Beautiful
Despite their benevolent intentions, Thomas and Gaby's sham marriage
comes under negative scrutiny. Stephanie and Jackie turn
on each other yet again. Brooke aims a serious accusation at one of
her female foes. Ridge's choice between his two wives,
Taylor and Brooke, means some emotional goodbyes between loved ones.

save Gus from Alan's nasty wrath.
The Young and the Restless
Daniel and Lily grow hopeful as Daniel gets more hazy memories from
the night of the car accident. Will Mr. DUI finally

party, where John's grown kids (Jack and Ashley) don't
enjoy mixing with hers (Michael and Kevin). Despite her upset over
Brittany's pregnancy, Mackenzie risks her heart and her
pride for another chance at romance with J.T.

After a chat with his mom about Ridge and Taylor renewing their vows,
Nick sets out to expose Stephanie. He smells a rat.
Stephanie has manipulated everything and he senses that. He tries to
manipulate Steph into admitting her guilt, brings up the
doctor, and asks why 911 wasn't called. JW thinks Nick gets to her,
even though she defends herself and acts nonchalant. He
will definitely get to Brooke but will stay true to Bridget. He will
include her with his "we support you" and "we're here for you."
JW says their (Brooke and Nick) chemistry will be seen in their eyes
and when asked what will happen if Brooke ever gives up
on Ridge, he says, "Twists and turns (winks), never a dull moment."
When asked if Taylor was curious that Ridge's decision to reunite with
her was based on heightened emotions, HT said, "I think she knows he
made this decision a little sooner than he probably
wanted to, but they're still legally married anyway."
CBS SID points out that just because Ridge makes a decision, it
doesn't mean he will stick with it.
Bradley let it slip that there will be another big return this summer.

Comments from Jerry & Liz, from their FC July newsletter
Q: Liz, I love the photos from the play you are doing that just went
up on your site. Will you be doing any more plays?
Jerry, will you be doing any plays with Liz? Will you please let your
fan club know so that I can maybe come see them?
Gillian Garson
L: I will be performing an original one act play called "Twice Upon a
Time" written by my husband Bobby. This will be at the
Depot Theatre in Garrison, NY August 12, 13, and 14th.
J: Gillian, Liz and I will always let you know what we're doing.
Plays, appearances, whatever...you'll know first.
Q: Liz and Jerry, I have a question for you both. If you had to
choose, would you prefer to be a speech writer for the
president or Hugh Hefner's personal assistant? Todder@...
L: A speech writer for the president, so I can tell him or her what
to say.
J: I've heard Hugh Hefner speak and he needs a speech coach and
writer more than Bush does!
Q: Hi Liz and Jerry. Please tell me what I can do to try to get you
both back on GL full time! I've sent many letters. I am
so disgusted with all the changes. What is happening to the show? Why
the changes? J.Treadwell
L: Snail mail works best! Keep writing.
J: J. Treadwell--letters and emails help and so do phone calls - 2 or
3 per week. You can also call the P & G 800 number on
their products.
Q: Dear Liz and Dear Jerry: I am so angry at the show right now. If
they do not bring you back, I'm turning it off for good!
Will you attend Gathering weekend? I come to see you both! I am going
to go bowling, too! Carolyn Priest
L: Yes, I will be attending the Gathering. Thank you for your support!
J: Carolyn, we are angry too and I suggest you keep writing, calling
and emailing. If I'm still on the show come Gathering
weekend, I'll be there. I'll definitely be at the Bloss Bowling.
-----------------------------
Sounds like Jerry is still deciding on what he wants to do. He's not
sure yet if he'll be with the show come October. But how
can he get a straight answer from GL's ptb - "we don't know when
we're going to need you..." Knowing how diplomatic Jerry
usually is in his answers, seeing him admit he's angry adds weight to
how unhappy he probably is.

Gina and Tom interview
I'm posting this for you Silky, I saw it on Gina's board! I think
there is another part of the interview that is in the
magazine, has anyone read it?
Soap Opera Digest
Still Bewitched
As you saw in Digest's 7/12 cover story, GL's Gina Tognoni (Dinah)
and Tom Pelphrey (Jonathan) have fallen for each other,
pretty hard we might add. Here, they continue to give us the scoop on
their real-life romance — with the added bonus of
special insights from GL crew.
Soap Opera Digest: When did you start dating?
Gina Tognoni: We started dating just around Valentine's Day. I was
Tommy's Valentine and he was mine.
Tom Pelphrey: I had a friend here from Ireland and I wanted to get
Gina some Valentine's Day stuff. So me and him were
sitting in my dressing room — we had some time to kill — and wrote
some really crass poems. But they all rhymed, so I was
like, "This is kind of doable since it was sweet that it rhymed
because we took the time." Hey, I just rhymed right there! It
really hooked her right in, I think.
Digest (to Tognoni): Did it work?
Tognoni (hesitantly): Well, they were very thoughtful. [They both
laugh]. Actually I think one of your friends made up, it
was very British....
Pelphrey (sheepishly): There was necrophilia in one of the poems.
Tognoni: I found it charming. And he bought me some fun stuff, like a
stuffed animal — the stuff that girls like — so he did
well. We had a nice dinner together with his friends. He was super
charming.
Digest: Have you met each other's families?
Tognoni: Yes. I spent Easter with his family and Mother's Day. And
his granddad is a big fan.
Pelphrey: My granddad's favorite character on the show since I
started has always been Dinah. So, for his birthday, I got him
an autographed picture of Gina. This was before we were dating. I was
like, "Gina can I get a picture of you autographed?"
And she was like, "What are you going to do with it?" I was
like, "Geez, girl, give me a picture." So my grandfather had it
prominently displayed, so she's been around the family longer than
she even knows.
Tognoni (shyly): His granddad has good taste.
Pelphrey: On Easter, I told my grandmother that I was going to bring
Gina home, but I didn't want to tell my grandpa. I
wanted to surprise him. So my grandma was like, "Okay, I won't tell
him, but I'll make sure he's dressed good because if
she's here and he's not dressed good, he's going to be mad at me." So
we walk in the front door and he goes, "Oh!" He makes
this sound and my mom goes, "Dad!" And he says [casually], "Oh, hey.
Hey."
Tognoni (laughing): It was wonderful meeting the whole Pelphrey clan.
Digest: Do you talk about work when you're together?
Tognoni: Sometimes we do. We never really say, "Okay, now we're not
talking about work." We both love our work so much and we
celebrate it and talk about it. I watch his stuff.
Pelphrey: It's nice to have somebody to share with, somebody who
knows what you are talking about.
Tognoni: We are there for one another.
Digest: What's your working relationship like?
Pelphrey: It's kind of ... like going.... [long pause]
Tognoni: Oh, he's going to say something funny, I can tell. You're
cooking something.
Pelphrey: It's kind of like going to the zoo and all bars on the
cages fall down.
Tognoni: We're wild animals!
Pelphrey: It's a free for all! It's so great. It really is.
Shawn Dudley, GL costume designer: You should ask their co-workers
what it's like to have to work with them.
Digest: I think that's an excellent question, if anyone wants to pipe
in with the answer.
Dudley: Oh, please, they're oogy-googy in the halls.
Martha Smith, wardrobe stylist: You have to make sure you knock on
their dressing room doors.
[Tognoni and Pelphrey start hysterically laughing]
Dudley: It's cute to see them being cute together in the halls. Tom
has a very attentive, loving side, which none of us knew
he had.
Helen Gallagher, GL makeup artist: The best thing is their names for
each other are Babe. "Hey, Babe. Babe? No the other
Babe."
Pelphrey: I think I'm starting to sweat a little.
Tognoni: We refer to each other affectionately often. Seriously, if
there's some issue that comes up, we handle it later. We
don't usually bring it to work. We have a pretty solid line between
work and personal life. I mean, we're affectionate with
one another but at work, we're working.
Pelphrey: Yeah, if we have a disagreement, I'll hit her and she'll
hit me right back. It's very even.
Tognoni: We clean up the blood.
Dudley: They're not in your face about it.
Smith: They are so happy and that's great to see.
Dudley: We don't have to worry about uncomfortable moments. I've been
through studio romances that were so annoying for
everyone. These guys are fine. There wasn't a lot of whispering in
the beginning.
Digest: When you learned they were dating, did it made sense?
Dudley: It totally made sense. It was more like, "It's about time."
Pelphrey: Ah, that's sweet to say.

Bradley Cole News, Does anyone believe this?
There is a post on the Guilding Light Board from a poster claiming
she received this e-mail regarding BC:
Bradley and his fiance, Yasuko Noda, were married last weekend on the
North Shore of Oahu, Hawaii. They held a beautiful
sunset ceremony in the presence of family and friends. The fan club
wishes them all the best in their future together.
Does anyone think this is true? If so, maybe we could hope that BC
will decide to leave GL and move to Hawaii to live there
with his new wife!!

GREETINGS FROM THE EDITOR
Lynn Leahey
Dear Readers,
"Ther's nothing like a soap fan." I've said it over and over,
everywhere from editor's notes to corporate meetings, but I
know I'm not the only person who is floored by the passion and
perseverence of the daytime audience. Today w're sending you a
sneak preview of the thank-you speeches written by this year's Soap
Opera Digest Award winners (the ballot appeared in the
November 9, 2004 issue — I don't know why it took us so long to get
around to collecting these) and it's clear that even the
biggest stars are humbled by the devotion of their fans. See who
wrote the quote I used to open this letter (as well as who
said, "And my guidance counselor said I would never amount to much")
below — thank-you bouquets from the stars right to you.
WINNERS CIRCLE
Soap Opera Digest Award Winners, 2005
Favorite Show: GENERAL HOSPITAL. This is GH's 10th award for Favorite
Show. They also won in 1980, 1981, 1982, 1983, 1997,
1998, 1999, 2000 and 2003.
"We are so thankful to the editors of Soap Opera Digest as well as
the many wonderful fans for this honor. It is a testament
to our great cast and hard-working crew that we have won this award
for Favorite Show, and we look forward to continuing and
upholding the tradition of great storytelling that is GENERAL
HOSPITAL."
— GH Executive Producer Jill Farren Phelps
Outstanding Lead Actor: Maurice Benard (Sonny, GH). This is his
fourth award; he won in 1996, 2000 and 2003.
"I love that this is from the fans. They're the reason we do what we
do. I've gotten a lot of nice things from fans over the
years, but this on's always special. The fact that they've welcomed
this character into their homes for 11 years is awesome.
It's just amazing. Someone asked me the other day if this ever gets
old, and the day it does is the day I'm out. But right
now I'm loving it. W've got a great cast, terrific crew. W're telling
good stories, and the response w've been getting from
viewers has been phenomenal. Our fans are the best, so I thank them
for this award from the bottom of my heart."
Outstanding Lead Actress: Tamara Braun (ex-Carly, GH).
"Thank you very much. I am so grateful. I really feel honored to have
been nominated by the magazine for the first time. It
was fantastic and exciting, and then to have won! I want to say thank
you so much to the fans and everyone who voted, because
that's what this award is all about. It's from the fans. I know that
the daytime fans are the most wonderful fans anyone
could ever want so, no matter where I go, I take them with me and for
that, I say thank you. I actually received the award
the day after I finished at GH. I opened it up and I was like, 'Aww,
it's the Soap Opera Digest Award,' so it was a case of
precious timing, and that made it even more wonderful."
Outstanding Supporting Actor: Rick Hearst (Ric, GH). Hearst also won
in 2001.
"I feel like Jimmy Cagney in White Heat. 'I finally made it, Ma. The
top of the world!' Honestly, it's something that [I
strived for] when I first started out. I'd always read about other
people who had been in this medium, or had come on and
made a big splash, and this is such an honor for me to know that not
only the editors of Soap Opera Digest had picked me to
be a nominee, but then, the fans concurred with that. That makes me
feel very lucky and very privileged to be in a medium
that is so giving. I'm very grateful to the readers of Digest, all
the fans, all the people who voted, the show, for giving
me such a diverse part to play. Hopefully I can continue to be a
watchable character for people to enjoy hating for many
years to come [laughs]."
Outstanding Younger Lead Actor: Scott Clifton (Dillon, GH).
"When I first came on to the show, I hadn't even considered Emmys. It
was when Maurice [Benard] had won his Soap Opera Digest
Award for Outstanding Actor [in 2003] and I thought to myself, 'Wow.
He won a Soap Opera Digest Award. That is so cool. I
wonder if next year I'll get to go to the Soap Opera Digest Awards
and get to be a part of that.' And then the next year,
there wasn't a show. And then, lo and behold, almost two years
later, somebody says to me, 'Hey, the fans nominated you for
a Soap Opera Digest Award, and that was the thing I aspired to the
most when I first came on the show. I remember the whole
day that I found out. I wasn't bragging to anybody. I didn't really
tell too many people. I was just tickled, and so happy on
a really personal level because it really meant something to me. I
have the statue in my room and every time I walk by it, I
think of the fans and how lucky I am being here. I smile everytime I
look at it. It makes me happy, and I'm thankful to
everybody who made it happen. Thank you."
Outstanding Female Newcomer: Adrianne Leon (Brook Lynn, GH).
"This is incredible. It's extremely welcoming. Ther's nothing like a
soap fan, and their opinion is huge to me. Our fans are
great. They're the reason why w're working and the reason why we have
our jobs, and I certainly appreciate that [laughs]. I
consider myself extremely fortunate. I love playing a character who
is so passionate and who is so multi-faceted, who's not
your average, everyday teen. This is definitely one of the best years
I've ever had. By far! This is my first real acting
job, so this helps me feel like I'm doing something right. Not to say
I've got everything down, because I do have a lot of
work to do, but this is definitely a nice way to hear that some
people are connecting with and liking the work. I'm so
blessed to be working with this cast. It's a great place to be, and
everybody really cares. Thank you so much."
Favorite Villainess: Jane Elliot (Tracy, GH). This is Elliot's fourth
award; she also won in 1980, 1990 and 1992.
"What comes up for me is that I won my first Villainess award from
Soap Opera Digest 25 years ago on THE MIKE DOUGLAS SHOW,
and to be able to leave this show for decades at a time and come back
and be embraced by your readers as I have been is
incredible gratifying. I appreciate it enormously. Thank you so much."
Favorite Villain: Ted King (Alcazar, GH).
"A big thank you to the readers of Soap Opera Digest for this great
honor. I've been nominated twice before for a Soap Opera
Digest Award [in 1996 and 1997 for his work as Danny on LOVING/THE
CITY] in the Outstanding Younger Lead Actor category, but
didn't win, so somehow I think winning for Best Villain is a
backhanded compliment [laughs]. I feel so lucky to have this,
because when the character of Luis was killed off, I believed that
was it. I thought I was gone for good. And then the
writers created this wonderful new character of Lorenzo. Although h's
done some not-nice things, h's not a mustache-twirling
villain. There are many shades of gray to him, and as an actor,
that's the best you can hope for. I feel so blessed to be a
part of this team, and so grateful to your readers. Thank you."
Favorite Triangle: Natalie/John/Evangeline, OLTL.
Michael Easton (John McBain)
"Wow. An award for getting to work with two beautiful women? And my
high school guidance counselor said I would never amount
to much. Thank you to Soap Opera Digest and all the fans for their
love and support, and especially thank you to Melissa
[Archer, Natalie] and Renee [Elise Goldsberry, Evangeline] for their
talents and kindness."
Melissa Archer (Natalie)
"Thank you to our wonderful fans for encouraging the story. Thank you
to the writers, to [Executive Producer] Frank
Valentini, to [President of ABC Daytime] Brian Frons and especially
to Michael and Renee who are fantastic to work with."
Renee Elise Goldsberry (Evangeline)
"Thank you, Michael Easton, Melissa Archer, Frank Valentini, [Head
Writer] Dena Higley, Brian Frons and Soap Opera Digest. I
am so honored to receive this award. And yet I know I need to give it
away. It belongs to the fans, the wonderful fans that
vote, post, write in, call in, and tune in religiously on our behalf.
It is your passionate support that inspires us all to
keep working so hard. We want desperately to tell a story that is
worthy of you."
Favorite Teen: Kristen Alderson (Starr, OLTL).
"It is the most special award I have ever received yet, because I
know it is from Soap Opera Digest and it is from all the
fans. Thank you so much."
Oustanding Supporting Actress and Favorite New Couple:
Alison Sweeney (Sami, DAYS). This is Sweeney's fifth award; she won
in 1996, 1998, 1999 and 2001.
"Soap Opera Digest does such a great job, they keep the daytime
audience involved and informed! They should get an award
instead of always passing them out. We have such great DAYS fans —
they are so loyal and supportive of the actors and their
characters! I am honored to win a 'supporting actress' award, I hope
I am as supportive of everyone else at DAYS as they are
of me. Playing a part like Sami is a challenge, but the great cast
and crew at Days makes it so much easier. Bryan [Dattilo,
Lucas] is such a great guy to work with. H's talented and funny...
not to mention hot. I have really enjoyed showing this new
side of Sami with her true love of Lucas. And I'm glad the fans have
responded with this 'Favorite New Coupl' award! I hope
there is more romance for them in the future. Thank you to everyone
who voted — Keep watching!"
Favorite New Couple:
Bryan R. Dattilo (Lucas, DAYS)
"I won, I won. I was so happy. I'm like an established soap opera
star. The award is fondly featured in my living room, along
with my close, personal family pictures, so it means a lot. I'd like
to thank the academy, I've always wanted to say that. I
want to thank Alison Sweeney for being such a good kisser and
bringing the chemistry to the screen and dealing with my
shenanigans on a daily basis. She really should get an award just for
dealing with me. But it's cool. W're joined together
forever now. Thank you to the fans. This is the best thing, because
we don't get viewed in the Emmy categories very well out
here. We get forgotten. It's so amazing that ther's a forum for fans
to actually have a say. I think the Emmys should be the
exact same way; the fans should vote on Emmys. I'd much rather hear
it from the fans. I, I kind of think its, the political
poison is taken out of it that way and its mostly about like, you
know, your, your relationship with people and how you see
you character and how you make your show believable or make your show
a success, you know those, those should be the awards
that we get."
Favorite Return: Judi Evans (Bonnie, DAYS).
"I really do want to thank the fans for voting for me and always
being there, whichever role I'm in. I certainly want to say
thank you to Lynn Leahey and everyone at Soap Opera Digest,
especially Stephanie Sloane, who have always been behind me and
always been very supportive. And I'd like to thank Jim Reilly [head
writer] and Ken Corday [executive producer] for just
giving me the most fun role ever. I'm just completely blown away. I
didn't think it was in the cards and this really was a
wonderful, wonderful surprise. And finally, I want to thank my son,
Austin, for always running lines with me and not letting
me finish until they're right!"
Outstanding Younger Lead Actress: Eden Riegel (ex-Bianca, AMC).
Riegel won before in 2001.
"This win was really exciting. I got an unmarked, brown box in the
mail and at first I was like, 'This could be scary — what
is this thing?' But when I unwrapped it, it was my Soap Opera Digest
Award! I'm really, really flattered and so thrilled. I
want to thank everyone at Digest and especially all the fans who
voted. You are all so good to me! I have two of these now,
so thank you for the bookends [laughs]!"
Outstanding Male Newcomer: Justin Bruening (Jamie, AMC).
"I have to thank Alexa [Havins, Babe, his wife], because she keeps me
sane. My aunt and uncle, because they made me into the
actor I am today; they gave me the confidence in myself. My mom,
Debbie, for giving me life. Judy Blye Wilson [AMC's casting
director], my 'New York mom,' for giving me this job. And I want to
dedicate this award to my mom who passed away, my
grandma."
Favorite Couple: John and Marlena (DAYS).
Drake Hogestyn (John)
"Thank you!! It is always rewarding when the fans validate our
work. Deidre and I are so close to our characters and that
the fans 'feel it' makes it all worthwhile."
Deidre Hall (Marlena)
"That's energizing and replenishing to me. It is just so dear and so
reassuring that w're right and it is on the right track
and they do love the couple and it just makes that much more fun to
do."

The Top 10 Plus
What Weekly editors are buzzing about...or not.
1. Taking off with your daughter in tow is all the rage on ALL MY
CHILDREN. See Bianca and Maria.
2. Max and Chelsea's parking session proved that driving isn't the
only thing DAYS OF OUR LIVES' new speed racer does fast.
3. GUIDING LIGHT tried to be all ALIAS in its June 27 episode, when
it started from the end (Gus being "shot" by an unknown
assailant), then went back to show the events leading up to it. (Gus
and Harley are not Sydney and Vaughn.)
4. AS THE WORLD TURNS' Paul and Emily keep having sex on the floor of
his penthouse. Does he not have a bed?
5. How funny is it that the teen cheerleader Carly in Rees's
flashbacks looks more like GENERAL HOSPITAL's first Carly, Sarah
Brown, than Jennifer Bransford?
6. THE BOLD AND THE BEAUTIFUL's Thomas reminded Gaby that "what
happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas." Unless you get busted
there by your uncle.
7. Note to AMC's Ryan: The first rule of Fight Club is, You don't
talk about Fight Club!
8. Kudos to DAYS' John for telling Kate to stay out of her children's
lives and let them handle their own problems.
9. Moving Reese into the penthouse he once shared with Carly and
their family is beyond insensitive — even for GH's Sonny.
10. ONE LIFE TO LIV's all wet! John took off his jacket but kept his
gun and shield when he took a dive off the pier. He
re-emerged with them perfectly in place and then pulled the totally
dry gun on Rex.
11. Only GL's Danny could make this line sound romantic: "You
wouldn't be in my wallet if you weren't in my heart."
For Your Eyes Only
W're working on it for next week...
Mailbag
Keep those items coming! W'll share what we get...
The Great Debate
Applause, Applause for issue 28 went to ATWT's Elizabeth Hubbard as
she embarked on a harrowing storyline involving Lucinda
finding a lump in her breast. Lucinda's combination of fear for
herself and desire to be strong for her daughters gave
Hubbard a wide range of emotions to play, and she handled them all
deftly — even juggling several at the same time. She was
mesmerizing as she went from vulnerable when alone to faux courageous
in front of her doctor to brusquely snapping at Sierra
and Lily — all while her character's life was on the line.
Listening Station
•A late addition for early June — it was Smith Point's "New York"
playing on GL as Harley and Gus ran around, you guessed it,
New York, on June 9. And a cover of the classic Etta James number "At
Last" played when Gus and Harley made love in the
studio as Mallet was released from prison on June 27.
•On June 21, GH's Nikolas and Emily had an underwhelming (for her,
anyway) encounter to their love theme, "Takes Me Away,"
written by Dominic Messinger and Cliff Downs. And on June 22,
Courtney and Jax didn't quite get what THEY wanted out of their
hot lovemaking to "Time For Love," written by Jim Goodwin and Robert
Medici. Both tracks are ABC-owned and the singers are
unknown. (Pssst...if you want all these great GH songs on a CD, the
music department suggests you write in to the execs at
ABC Daytime and voice your support for such an endeavor!)
•During ATWT's ultra-hot June 27 episode, the show opened with
Aqualung's "Strange and Beautiful," then Jack and Carly made
out to 3 Doors Down's "Let Me Go."
Nightwatch
•With BIG BROTHER 6 approaching CBS' summer shore (it premieres this
Thursday, July 7), our on-stands-now July 12 issue
features a preview of the reality show's latest season. Her's an
expanded look at the "Summer of Secrets," as executive
producer Arnold Shapiro opens the door to some newsletter-exclusive
details.
The brand-new, gigantic house (created just for the show) features a
lounge area on the second floor overlooking the enormous
living room, dining room and kitchen. "Ther's more room for alone
time, but you're more easily spied upon by others if they
happen to be on the second floor." Calling the emotion-packed, lie-
laden BIG BROTHER "the ultimate soap opera," Shapiro
enthuses, "the action's unfolding before your eyes. Unlike [SURVIVOR
executive producer] Mark Burnett, who knows who won
before the first episode goes on, we don't know [who will win] until
the audience knows."
Or whether a team will win. The 14 contestants (eight women, six men)
are comprised of seven secret teams. If a team makes
the final two without being "caught" as a duo, the winner scores BB's
biggest prize yet: $1,000,000, with the runner-up
taking home $250,000. Otherwise, the last player standing garners the
usual $500,000. Each team believes they have the only
covert connection; let's hope no one realizes that there are two
players from Texas, two Chicago residents...
The contestants are diverse as always, from an ER nurse named Maggie
and a firefighter named Eric (hmmm, shades of BB3) to a
meteorology student named James and an Arena Football League dancer
named Jennifer. And each one will uncover a secret —
someone els's or their own.
BIG BROTHER 6 features a live eviction every Thursday at 8 p.m. EDT,
then airs Saturdays at 8 and Tuesdays at 9.
•The Joes returned this week in the summer reality series AVERAGE
JOE: THE JOES STRIKE BACK. This year's unsuspecting sucker,
er, star, is Anna Chudoba and this time the Joes battle the hunks to
the end. "We have an undercover situation which I think
every girlfriend would want to do to their boyfriend," reveals
Chudoba. "There is also a surprise visitor in the end." Some
of the rejected Joes get makeovers — including social lessons and
even plastic surgery — to secure a second chance with

The We In Weekly
From West Coast editor Janet Di Lauro: It was threatening to pour in
the storyline, so DAYS OF OUR LIVES' Jack and Jennifer
moved their outdoor barbecue bash into their living room, complete
with a giant picnic table set up with all the standard
fixings. The idea might have worked, except for one thing: If the
weather outside was so inclement, how come the sun was
shining brighter than ever when Jack was at the grill — and Chelsea
and Max were driving around in his convertible?
From senior editor Joe Diliberto: In another one of those cases of
soap opera déjà vu, both AMC and GH are showcasing stories
that feature new characters unmasked as former intimate acquaintances
who went unrecognized by their old pals thanks to
plastic surgery. But only AMC's Di explained why she doesn't sound
like Dixie: She had surgery on her vocal cords. So what's
Carly's excuse for not recognizing GH's Reese/Charlotte? At least
GL's Reva can claim she didn't really know Alfred well
enough to recognize him under the nom-de-deceit Nate. After all, who
really pays attention to the man you're trusting to
raise a child you forgot you gave birth to in the first place?

SHEILA RETURNS!
It's official: As I've frequently hinted here, Kimberlin Brown will
reprise her signature role as Sheila Carter on The Young and the
Restless. Look for the she-devil to raise fresh hell in Genoa City
starting Aug. 5. Per the new issue of TV Guide magazine, Y&R chief
Jack Smith enticed Brown away from One Life to Live — where she had
been playing Dr. Paige Miller — simply by offering her a
contract. "When you have a recurring role," Smith says, "you're open
game."
"Jack made me a really sweet offer," Brown confirms. "I gave ABC an
opportunity to match it and they simply couldn't. It wasn't in their
budget." Despite the fact that Sheila is still a wanted woman, this
won't be a short-term comeback like her last stint on Y&R's sister
soap, The Bold and the Beautiful. "She's got a lot of staying power,"
Smith says. "We just have to keep her one step ahead of the law."
SOAP TALK'S NEW RIVAL
Inspired perhaps by the success of SoapNet's Emmy-winning chat show,
Soap Talk, CBS has conceived its own version called Daytime Talk
Live. The show will feature cohosts Kristoff St. John (Neil, Y&R) and
Ricky Paull Goldin (Gus, Guiding Light) fielding callers' questions
and interviewing suds stars, but only ones who work on the Eye
network's four soaps, of course. The other catch? It's only viewable
on the Internet at CBS.com — beginning July 19 at 3 pm/ET — so Lisa
Rinna and Ty Treadway needn't sweat just yet. Still, it's a smart
move. "We are always looking for ways to enhance our relationship
with our daytime audience," says CBS Daytime chief Barbara
Bloom. "Daytime Talk Live provides another connection to the loyal
and passionate viewers of our popular series."
As the World Turns
Pregnancy madness hits Oakdale as both Gwen and Jennifer go into
labor! (Considering both women are on very unfriendly terms with the
fathers of their babies, you know there's some ugliness in store.)
Once again, Jennifer turns to Dusty Donovan for aid. Rosanna and Paul
have a second chance at happiness together... until an unexpected
phone call rocks their world. Carly's investigation into her father's
past takes a turn for the worse.
The Bold and the Beautiful
Thomas and Gaby's marriage of convenience takes a passionate turn.
Dante and Nick butt heads. Nick and Bridget make love despite her
fear that he still secretly desires her mother. Speaking of Brooke,
the blonde bombshell begs Ridge to give their marriage another
chance. Elsewhere in L.A., Stephanie has a confession for Taylor.
Will the Forrester matriarch admit to faking her cardiac attack in
order to pressure Taylor and Ridge into renewing their vows? That
pushy Steph also has relationship advice for Massimo. No doubt her
words about his wife Jackie won't be kind! As for Jackie, she employs
her considerable "assets" to solve a mystery.
Guiding Light
Reva plots to set that nasty Nate up for a fall. After ages of
suffering for a crime she didn't commit, Harley is exonerated in the
matter of Phillip Spaulding's murder. Will Alan finally pay for his
treachery? Edmund discovers Dinah's dirty little secret — she lost
the baby and has been faking by wearing a pregnancy pad. The furious
fiend is mad enough to kill her... or do something even more cruel.
When Lizzie and Coop have a conflict, she looks to Sebastian for
sympathy. That's a baaad move, Miss Spaulding!
The Young and the Restless
Michael is suspicious because of Lauren's reticence to discuss her
long-absent son Scotty. The lawyer begins to do some snooping into
his fiancée's family life. (FYI: Next month, Sheila's comeback will
give Lauren even more to worry about!) Nicholas and Sharon have a
reunion that one would call, er, strained at best. Despite Nick's
return to Genoa City, Victoria wants to remain top dog at Newman
Enterprises. Phyllis fights to retain her job despite Nick's hatred
toward her son Daniel. In the midst of all this, Victor and Nikki
stress out and vow to somehow keep the Newman family intact.
Elsewhere, Dru frets as Devon's efforts to bond with his junkie
mother draw him closer to his dangerous old life. Nikki fears Bobby's
going back to his criminal ways.

ATWT'S Jen And Gwen Give Birth (SOD)
Craig assures Rosanna that he's committed to adopting Gwen's baby,
but is still frustrated over losing any claim he has on his child
with Jennifer. When he spies his son being wheeled into the hospital,
there's no mistaking the gleam in his eye. Craig's indifference to
his biological offspring makes Katie suspicious, even though he is
already adopting another child. Rosanna also grows suspicious of
Craig's sudden change in character. What follows the births is a
story that will eventually encompass most of the cast, but is
centered on Craig, who sired one child and plans to adopt the
other. "Craig is coming into this feeling vanquished because he
believes he was set up by Jennifer and Dusty and he's been told that
there's no way he'll ever get custody of his baby. Rosanna convinces
him that they can move on if they adopt this [other] baby," says Head
Writer Jean Passanante in SOD. "And while he seems interested in
making that effort, his heart just isn't entirely in it. By fate and
happenstance, he is in the hospital at the same time Jennifer's baby
is [brought in], so it's earth-shattering for him." Keeping an eye on
Craig is Dusty, who has gone above and beyond to protect Jennifer's
child. "Dusty is working off of his own memories of what Craig was
willing to do to his own child," notes the scribe. "He sees it all
before him and he's trying to do whatever he can to put a cork in
Craig before he does something terrible--not realizing, of course,
that Craig is possibly about to do something more terrible."

HE'S BACK! (SORT OF)
Last fall, Guiding Light star Grant Aleksander left the CBS sudser
when his millionaire-gone-mad character, Phillip
Spaulding, was gunned down. That led to the trial and incarceration
of his ex-wife, Harley (Beth Ehlers), who busted out of
the slammer to prove she was framed by the real shooter, Phillip's
adoptive father, Alan (Ron Raines). As GL aficionados have
long suspected, Harley's hell was all for nothing — because Phillip
turns up alive at the end of today's episode! Sadly,
however, this does not mean Aleksander is rejoining the cast.
"When we wrote Phillip's death almost a year ago, we had always
conceived that Alan was the shooter and Phillip was alive,"
GL executive producer Ellen Wheeler tells TVGuide.com. "We also knew
we were running a risk that, possibly, we wouldn't be
able to get Grant Aleksander back. We certainly hoped that it would
work out for Grant and for us that, when the time came,
he would be available. He's a terrific actor. We have voiced interest
in having Grant back, and he's said, 'That's not the
right thing for me at this time.'"
That forced GL to go to Plan B. (And no, it's not a plastic-surgery
recast scenario.) "Right before Phillip got shot last
year, [headwriter] Dave Kreizman and I planned a fantasy scene for
Alan, where he imagines saving Phillip. This [so-called
fantasy] was, in actuality, a scene we planned to use at a much later
date," she says. "We never aired it and kept it
secretly in the can until we might need it. And we did indeed need
it!"
Speaking of secrets, how'd they manage to keep this one under
wraps? "At the time we shot that scene, we didn't tell anyone
[about our contingency plan]," Wheeler responds. "Not the directors.
Not the actors. Not even the people who wrote the scene
[according to our instructions] as a fantasy. Truly, no one knew."
Come back to Soaps News next week for more juicy GL scoop!
PAIGE TURNER
Since Kimberlin Brown jumped ship to The Young and the Restless, One
Life to Live has hired Broadway actress Cady Huffman to
replace her in the role of Llanview doctor Paige Miller. Huffman was
a Tony winner in 2001 for her turn in The Producers.
She'll first air in August.
SOAP TALK'S NEW RIVAL
Inspired perhaps by the success of SoapNet's Emmy-winning chat show,
Soap Talk, CBS has conceived its own version called CBS
Soapbox. The show will feature cohosts Kristoff St. John (Neil, Y&R)
and Ricky Paull Goldin (Gus, GL) fielding callers'
questions and interviewing suds stars, but only ones who work on the
Eye network's four soaps, of course. The other catch?
It's only viewable on the Internet at CBS.com — beginning July 19 at
3 pm/ET — so Lisa Rinna and Ty Treadway needn't sweat
just yet. Still, it's a smart move. "We are always looking for ways
to enhance our relationship with our daytime audience,"
says CBS Daytime chief Barbara Bloom. "CBS Soapbox provides another
connection to the loyal and passionate viewers of our
popular series."
As the World Turns
In the wake of her baby's death, Jennifer extends an unexpected
invitation to someone. She also leans on Dusty for emotional
support. Rosanna delves into the reasons for Craig's recent shady
behavior. Plus, that feisty young Gwen faces off with Craig
over his claim on her wee newborn. Carly finally finds out the
horrifying secret Iris has been keeping about a past tragedy.
Katie is afraid that she's losing Mike all over again.
The Bold and the Beautiful
Brooke confides in her understanding daughter, Bridget. In her quest
to prove Stephanie faked her heart attack, Jackie annoys
Massimo by pressing on him for information. The clever Mrs. Marone
also makes progress in the seduction of her new neighbor,
Dr. Mark MacLaine. Later, Jackie and Stephanie have a catty
confrontation. Elsewhere in L.A., Nick reasserts his intention to
marry Bridget, who's being aggressively pursued by Dante Damiano. In
fact, Dante and Bridget share a steamy kiss! More
romance is also in store for secret newlyweds Thomas and Gaby.
Guiding Light
More of Alan's surprising secrets in the Phillip Spaulding murder
mystery are revealed. Dinah undresses, unaware that she is
not alone! Could this breach of feminine privacy mean yet another
Springfielder is about to discover that Dinah has been
faking her pregnancy by wearing belly padding? Tammy takes a plunge
to rescue her kissin' cousin Jonathan from his worst
fear. Romance is in the air as Harley and Gus make up for the time
they lost during her fugitive ordeal. But will her
ex-husband Mallet threaten their future together?
The Young and the Restless
As Daniel's trial date draws closer, Christine and Paul search for
proof that he's innocent of causing Cassie's untimely
death. Lauren and Gloria are the ones who pay the price when
Michael's plot against Terrible Tom fails miserably. Victor is
displeased when Brad and Neil lock executive horns at Newman
Enterprises. Ashley questions her ex-hubby Brad's agenda. Neil
gets involved when Devon's homeless junkie mother causes the well-
intentioned teen some more heartache.

Greetings From The Editor
Lynn Leahey
Dear Readers,
The next issue you'll receive will have Wayne Northrop on the cover,
with the details of his return to DAYS. "It's a summer
story for grownups — yay!," raves Deidre Hall (Marlena). "I
haven't had one of those for years." I have to admit I was
surprised by DAYS's decision to bring Northrop back to the show as
someone other than Roman, but that character has had so
many permutations they could just make it work, and it sure will be
fun watching them try. You might get a kick out of some
old Roman covers (page 32), including the one when Northrop came back
while Drake Hogestyn (John) was inhabiting (or so he
thought) Roman. The cover line back then was, "What's DAYS Going To
Do With Two Romans?" Now they've got three (sort of)
— let the games begin!
The Water Cooler
Reporting by Devin Owens
Every Fourth of July, Melody Thomas Scott (Nikki, Y&R) and her
director husband Edward Scott throw a barbecue shindig, but
what you may be amazed to know is that, except for a few
contributions from friends, Mel prepares almost all of the
appetizers, side dishes and desserts herself. And with many, many
guests attending every year, you can be assured that means
lots of food. As usual, I recognized lots of faces from parties past
and, after getting a Diet Coke from the bartender on
duty, enjoyed the usual mingling. Positioned around the swimming pool
and across a swath of lawn, were decorated tables
(centerpieces were bunches of red and white roses with blue flowers),
waiting for their diners. The atmosphere was relaxed
and celebratory, save for Melody, who was a blur of activity as she
repeatedly emerged from the kitchen with salads, chili
and condiments. Meanwhile, Edward was manning the huge grill at the
pool house and cooking up massive amounts of foot-long
hot dogs and fat, juicy hamburger patties. Not long after everyone
had stuffed themselves with dinner, a whirling dervish
(yes, Mel) brought out cheesecakes, pies, cobblers, cookies, cakes,
brownies and her famous lemon bars. I was so full that I
could probably go without eating until 7/4/06 but just to be safe, I
left that night with some lemon bars wrapped in a
napkin.

Soap fans certainly like to share their opinions. Here's what some of
you are saying about the shows.
AMC: "Bring back Hayley and Mateo!" ... "I'm tired of the constant
anger, yelling, hatred and revenge on AMC." .. "I've
fallen in love with Zach and Kendall; they own me!"
ATWT: "Dusty slept with Meg too soon."... "The 6/27 episode was on
fire!" ... "Please tell me the scene in the hotel with
Katie and Mike was supposed to be a comedy act! I hope it was
supposed to be a parody of something romantic because what I
saw was hysterical."
B&B: "I quit watching when Taylor came back from the grave." ... "I
really love seeing Nick happy for a change."
DAYS: "We need more Bo and Hope and less John and
Marlena." ... "Shawn has acted horribly, without honor or human
sympathy
since he crashed through the church window [during Belle and Philip's
wedding]." ... "I will never support Jennifer with
anyone but Jack."
GH: "Focus on the veterans." ... "Stop making Courtney so
whiny."... "Bring back Lucy!"... "Viewers are tired of Sonny."...
"Skye and Lorenzo have a world of story potential." ... "Maurice
Benard [Sonny] and Jennifer Bransford [Carly] have just
revitalized GH, and I am now loving Sonny/Carly more than
ever." ... "GH is really wasting Adrianne Leon's [Brook Lynn]
talent!"
GL: "The Dinah and Jonathan love scenes went beyond the realm of good
taste."... "If the writers don't soon move the Harley
and Gus story along, I am done!"
OLTL: "The criminal element in Llanview leaves much to be
desired." ... "Todd and Blair are true soul mates."
PASSIONS: "I love the show, but Gwen and Rebecca have to be taken
down!" ... "Though the show is last on the rating charts I
think it should be first; this show is always good and I am glad I
found it."
Y&R: "The writers are really trying to keep their audience
entertained with quality television." .... "There is always
something magical that occurs whenever Brad and Ashley are on the
screen together." ... "Enough with the businesses of Genoa
City." ... "Gloria needs some drama in her life and [her portrayer
Judith] Chapman can pull it off."
Guilty Pleasures
Reporting by Naomi Rabinowitz
CRUEL JUSTICE starring A Martinez (ex-Roy, GH/PC; ex-Cruz, SB) and
Christian Campbell (ex-Bobby, AMC)
The soap vets and Lifetime regulars turn in perfectly respectable
performances in this 1999 drama in which Martinez plays a
single dad who goes on the warpath after his daughter's rapist is set
free. Though our guys are good, some creaky dialogue
and over-dramatic moments do relieve the tension, which is why this
movie still makes the cut as a Guilty Pleasure. Catch it
tonight at 7 p.m. ET/PT
Say Cheese: 1 1/2 slices out of 5.

The Top 10 Plus
What Weekly editors are buzzing about...or not.
1. Forget whether ALL MY CHILDREN's Di is Dixie or not. She looks
much more like Lily's mother!
2. If there was ever a daytime character in need of a hug, it's
GUIDING LIGHT's hard-edged Jonathan.
3. Did GENERAL HOSPITAL's Reese learn nothing from Al Gore back in
2000? A "lockbox" strategy is a sure loser.
4. Henry & Katie, Mike & Jennifer and now Craig & Rosanna — is it a
requirement that couples not be in love (with each other)
to get married on AS THE WORLD TURNS?
5. BOLD & BEAUTIFUL took a page from YOUNG & RESTLESS (and 24) when
it ended its July 4 episode with a split screen.
6. How did ATWT's Mike spill a bottle of shampoo and NOT plug a P&G
product?
7. Did anyone else hear the Bionic Man noise when ONE LIFE TO LIVE's
John leaped over the fire in slo-mo to save Evangeline?
8. Y&R's Kevin, who gave Lily an STD, is criticizing J.T.'s
sexcapades with Brittany? "Hello, pot? This is the kettle
calling..."
9. Carly and Reese's rivalry on GH is almost as good as Alexis and
Krystle's on DYNASTY — minus the mud-wrestling.
10. Heather Mills McCartney's cameo appearance on DAYS OF OUR LIVES
not only added star power to the show, but also some
interesting commentary about land mines.
11. Though never fans of ABC Daytime's "Fun in the Sun" promos, John-
Paul Lavoisier (Rex, OLTL) could change that. His charm,
wit and natural adorableness made them entertaining.
11. Only GL's Danny could make this line sound romantic: "You
wouldn't be in my wallet if you weren't in my heart."
For Your Eyes Only
We're working on it for next week...
Mailbag
Keep those items coming! We'll share what we get...
The Great Debate
Y&R's Melody Thomas Scott embraced Nikki's role as matriarch when she
comforted her family in the wake of Cassie's death,
thus earning our respect and Applause, Applause honors for Issue 29.
With her soothing voice and sympathetic eyes, Nikki
helped Victor and even reached out to her bitter rival Ashley. Scott
held Nikki together as long as possible with her
wonderfully understated performance that reflected the strength and
dignity of motherhood. But when the meltdown came, we
dissolved into tears right along with her.
Listening Station
•Simple Plan's song "Untitled (How Could This Happen to Me?)" played
on the July 4 and 5 episodes of Y&R as Daniel remembered
what really happened the night of the car crash.
•"Only in America" by Brooks and Dunn played in the background of
GL's annual Bauer barbecue on July 5.
•That was Embrace's "Gravity" playing when ATWT's Mike and Katie made
love on July 7.
Nightwatch
•Gotta love Lifetime's clever promotions. I was sitting on the beach,
minding my own business when an enthusiastic group of
people began giving out beach chairs, umbrellas, towels, and flip-
flops that read BEACH GIRLS. What could that be? Lifetime's
summer miniseries BEACH GIRLS, based on the book of the same name by
Luanne Rice. It's a soap, believe me, and stars Rob Lowe
and Julia Ormond. Begins July 31.—Gabby Winkel
The We In Weekly
Senior editor Joe Diliberto
•Everyone likes to tout the "magic" of soap history, but it's not
always a good thing that these shows have such long
legacies. Consider GL's Josh and Reva. Reva's flirting/fling with
Nate is, what, the 27,214th time one of them has strayed?
(And, considering that they've married each other roughly 816 times,
that's saying something.) How can Josh be anguished by
Reva's dalliance with Nate and the bar? How can he not trust her, not
know that everything will return to the status quo
eventually? Josh is worried about losing trust in her now? NOW???
•Corbin Bernsen talked up his gig as GH's Durant on THE LATE, LATE
SHOW WITH CRAIG FERGUSON in a lighthearted segment. And
Craig responded with his wish to appear on B&B.
Senior editor Gabrielle Winkel
•I, like much of America, fell hard for ABC's DANCING WITH THE STARS
and was quite torn between John O'Hurley and Kelly
Monaco (Sam, GH). I was so happy to see Kelly run enthusiastically to
John at the end of the show after her victory. Everyone
was such a good sport. It was a delightful series. Wonder who they'll
get next go round?
•I got the cutest letter from the mother of a dear friend of mine and
have to share a bit of it. "I'm sick that John Enos
(Bobby) is exiting Y&R (the only soap on earth). He seethes sex, good
looks and gentleness. I'm 79 and mad for him." How cute
is that?!

Greetings From The Editor
Lynn Leahey
Dear Readers,
How fun was it seeing GH's spunky Kelly Monaco come in first on
summer's top-rated prime-time series, DANCING WITH THE STARS?
Her first outing was pretty much a disaster, but her personality (and
her fans) pulled her through and as the weeks wore on,
she beat the odds and grew into quite a performer. What began as a
lark, a "cheesy" reality adventure, turned into total
triumph, with Kelly's fan base growing by leaps and bounds. (Kelly
says in the issue coming your way, "We came a long
freaking way.") As for her newfound skills, she assures us, "If I can
dance, anybody can."
The Water Cooler
Reporting By Naomi Rabinowitz
When I visited ONE LIFE TO LIVE's studios, one of the things that
impressed me the most was how realistic the "outdoor" sets
and views were. Just by using some creative lighting and placement,
the designers managed to make it look as if you were
really outside or looking through a window -- even when you were up
close to the set. It hasn't surprised me, then, that when
the show really did go on location for Tess's New York jaunt, that
those involved would really take advantage of the
location.
I've really enjoyed watching Tess as she traveled through Central
Park and then to the "Hamptons" (really New York's
Westchester County). The crew was lucky that they got great weather,
which made the greenery of the park look particularly
lush. And how fabulous was that mansion they filmed in? I loved the
way the camera angle took viewers from the interior
balcony to the front entrance and then continued to pan to the
outside, where the beach and pool were. It allowed the
audience to see how big this place actually was, and made it feel as
if we were getting a tour.
Being stuck in an office is extra-hard in the summer, especially when
it's a beautiful day outside. These scenes were a nice
diversion.
Type Set
AMC: "If AMC breaks up Zach and Kendall for another Ryan/Kendall
redux or a stupid Zach/Julia pairing, I'll never watch
again!"
ATWT: "I miss the pairing of Katie and Henry, who were like a breath
of fresh air on daytime." ... "What excellent scenes
with Dusty and Jennifer and the birth of her baby." ... "If you let
Craig switch babies, I refuse to watch this show."
B&B: "Brooke and Nick need to get together, and Dante and Bridget.
Leave Taylor and Ridge together." ... "Ridge is nothing
but a self-absorbed, conceited idiot."
DAYS: "It would have been much more satisfying if Brady had seen
Chloe's original scarred face and had still wanted her in
spite of it."
GH: "Lorenzo is a better man than Sonny will ever be. He does not
need to throw or break glass to prove a point." ... "Three
weeks ago (possibly less), Maxie was at death's door. Now she is on
the run with Jesse. Apparently, hearts heal pretty darn
fast at GH!" ... "My biggest issue [with the ELQ storyline] is that
it is missing a major key player; the Quartermaine
Gatekeeper and very successful former CEO of ELQ, Ned Ashton!"
GL: "Bring Grant Alexander back for real, not just for a week. We
want the old lovable Phillip. There still are a great many
story lines for Grant." ... "Please say the Coopers are moving out of
the Bauer home." ... "Once again we see the talents of
David Andrew Macdonald [Edmund]. When he found out Dinah had lost
his child, it was heartbreaking."
OLTL: "Give Kristen Alderson (Starr) a storyline!" ... "I absolutely
loved the montage with Jessica and Antonio on today's
[July 12] show."
PASSIONS: "It is no surprise that the writers of PASSIONS love to
drag stories way too long, but I am simply getting tired of
it." ... "Eve and Julian fans want some Evian happiness."
Y&R: "I can't stand that J.T. is part of the lies and betrayal
[surrounding] Brittany's pregnancy. Poor Mac!"
What I'm Watching
Reporting By Mara Levinsky
What I'm watching, people, is all the celebrity reality I can get my
hands on. Which means my TV has been tuned in to VH1.
Last Sunday was the kick-off to this season's THE SURREAL LIFE. I
love this show, which I got sucked into last year, and
upping its watchability quotient for me is that one of the
houseguests is none other than Sandy Denton, a.k.a. "Pepa" from
Salt 'N Pepa, a group near and dear to my heart. The first episode
did not disappoint, from Omarosa showing up looking like
something out of DALLAS (in the words of housemate Bronson Pinchot)
and Janice Dickinson having a series of mini-meltdowns
before the sun went down on the first night (it's Pepa that talked
her down — go Pep!). I won't be missing a moment, as
guaranteed by the sneak peak of the season that features a clip of
Dickinson trying to climb out a window to freedom. Bring
it on!

These are rough times for Y&R stalwart couple Nick and Sharon (Joshua
Morrow and Sharon Case, above), as both continue to
reel from the death of their daughter, Cassie. At least one of them
is hopeful that they'll have better times, however —
Sharon recalled happier days during a tearjerker montage this week.

The Top 10 Plus
What Weekly editors are buzzing about...or not.
1. Oh, baby! July 11 was a busy birthing day on daytime — AS THE
WORLD TURNS' Jen delivered her baby boy, while ATWT's Gwen
went into labor and GENERAL HOSPITAL's Alexis had ominous
contractions.
2. Thanks to GH's hurricane, it's obvious what Alcazar has been
importing these days instead of drugs and guns: duct tape!
3. Speaking of that GH hurricane, how did Sam, Jason and Michael
manage to be out in the storm, yet come indoors dry?
4. Ow! Who didn't empathize when ONE LIFE TO LIVE's Rex iced himself
down after Adriana''s well-placed kick? The people that
were laughing really hard, that's who.
5. ALL MY CHILDREN's Krystal sure looked fabulous in green after
getting out of jail. But when did she have time to stop by a
boutique (and salon for hair and makeup!) between the prison and
Kate's memorial service?
6. One of OLTL's golden moments for July: Viki consoling her missing
daughter's rival for John, Evangeline.
7. ATWT's Katie and Mike wanted to keep their reconciliation a
secret, so they went to...Metro. Next time they should try
skywriting.
8: Note to DAYS OF OUR LIVES: Prison brawls between the wrongly
convicted heroine, like Mimi, and the jailhouse bully are
getting old.
9: With Maxie's choices in men — Kyle, Zander, Jesse — GH's Mac and
Felicia really ought to appreciate Dillon more.
10. First THE YOUNG AND THE RESTLESS' Bobby is forced to beat up J.T.
as part of their plan, and now GUIDING LIGHT's Reva
asks Olivia to punch her face in order to bring down Nate? It's time
for Plan B, people.
11. Folks in Pine Valley were so impressed by the July 13 Northern
Lights on AMC that they took it as a sign from the gods.
Admittedly, such displays are rare in Pennsylvania, but does this
reaction mean fans can look forward to animal sacrifices
next?
12. Kudos to THE BOLD AND THE BEAUTIFUL for its little Y&R nod in the
July 14th episode. When Jackie asked Mark what cologne
he was wearing, he replied, "Jabot for Men."
For Your Eyes Only
West Coast editor Janet Di Lauro
For Kelly Monaco (Sam, GH), being named winner of DANCING WITH THE
STARS meant even more because of the competition. Namely,
first runner-up, John O'Hurley. "I couldn't have been on the floor
with a more deserving, better, talented guy," raves
Monaco. "I mean, John O'Hurley from SEINFELD and I battled him in a
dance-off. Crazy!" What did Monaco whisper in O'Hurley's
ear, when she hugged him after the results were announced? "I told
him he was amazing," smiles the actress.
Mailbag
Up, up and away! Fans of DAYS OF OUR LIVES' John and Kate feel
deflated without their duo together, so they are sending in
these balloons to signify that. "Fill these balloons with love and
set them free. There is no denying that John and Kate are
meant to be," exclaims one reader. Keep 'em coming!
The Great Debate
There was no debate about Applause, Applause honors for Issue 30:
GL's Kim Zimmer walked away with kudos by acclamation.
Zimmer seemingly effortlessly projected Reva's sense of loss and
guilt over abandoning Jonathan — a child she forgot she
birthed to begin with — to an abusive adoptive environment. All
Reva's wacky antics came home to roost in her scenes with
Josh (the gifted Robert Newman), and Zimmer made fans feel her pain,
but more importantly, her guilt. We found Zimmer guilty
of fine acting.
Listening Station
•The July 13 love montage on GH, with Jason and Sam, Maxie and Jesse,
Carly and Lorenzo, Sonny and Reese, and Liz's "yes" to
Lucky's proposal, was set to Percy Sledge's classic "When a Man Loves
a Woman."
•Sharon recalled happier times with Nick as Alan Jackson's
ballad "Remember When" played on Y&R's July 14 episode.
•Unless you count "The Sound of Silence," it was slim musical
pickings on daytime this week, so it's time for one of the
completely prize-less Listening Station contests! What should DAYS'
Mickey and Maggie's wedding song be? When B&B's Brooke is
crying over Ridge, what song does she put on "repeat"? What song
makes OLTL's Killing Club Killer feel homicidal? The top
three suggestions submitted with a full name, city and state will be
printed in next week's newsletter! E-mail Mala at
mala.bhattacharjee@... with your picks!
Nightwatch
•HBO's SIX FEET UNDER is an exceptional program: It's beautifully
written and acted. The characters are so multi-layered and
fascinating. I am always glad when I've caught an episode. But
getting myself to watch it is often the problem. Why, you may
ask? Because it's such an incredible downer. Happy moments are few
and far between. And that Nate (Peter Krause, regularly
brilliant) — does he have to dissect every single emotion and
thought? Does everything have to be about him? Can't he just
let things go? Anyway, still love the show but will I really, really
miss it when it goes off the air? Probably not. But then
I can't really think of any television program I truly miss. And
that's probably a good thing, to quote Martha Stewart, whose
show I will probably not be watching, FYI.—Gabby Winkel
The We In Weekly
• From Mala Bhattacharjee: I recently attended the wedding of a
childhood friend and my job snuck up on me! Imagine my
surprise when not one, but TWO of the groom's other friends told me
stories about going to school with soap stars. I got to
hear wonderful things about Sherri Saum (ex-Keri, OLTL) and a change
of last name didn't change a thing for someone who knew
Tyler Christopher (Nikolas, GH) as Tyler Baker. Sadly, there was no
juicy dish. I guess I'll try for that at the NEXT
wedding!
•From Joe Diliberto: GL's Mallet fretted about wandering the streets
of Springfield with fugitive Harley, apparently because
he was concerned about being caught. Never fear: Those mean streets
are perpetually empty. Maybe they should have booked a
room at the perpetually deserted Beacon — they would never have run
into anyone there. Which points out a problem that all
soaps have: a dire dearth of extras. Those street scenes just don't
feel real without any hustling and bustling. And how do
any soap businesses...well, stay in business wit2:27 AM 7/18/2005h
almost no customers?
•From Gabrielle Winkel: Do we need to pity Eva Longoria for being the
only DESPERATE HOUSEWIFE not to win a lead actress Emmy
nomination? Let's think. She's beautiful. She's glamorous. She's on a
hot, hot show. She's off making a movie. Note to Eva:
Let yourself feel bad for a minute and then smile and move on. Things
could be a lot worse.

COME CLOSER, GREG
Greg Rikaart is such a goody two-shoes as The Young and the Restless'
Kevin these days, he had to go on another TV show to
play evil again. Look for the recent Daytime Emmy winner to guest-
star as a murder suspect on TNT's The Closer on Aug. 22.
And who knows? If his interrogation scenes opposite Kyra Sedgwick are
as juicy as I'm expecting, there might just be a
prime-time Emmy in Mr. Rikaart's future...

father. And there is something about him that's just steady. And Gwen
is going to need that stability because the case
doesn't go well.
"She doesn't start out nervous but what ends up happening in court is
kind of shocking. Because she is told she has a strong
case. She doesn't. She gets her hopes up and they are dashed." says
Landon.Whose character is easily baited by the more
experienced Carly into blurting out that the father doesn't care
about the baby [named Rory in honor of Rosanna] - thus
prompting the judge to order her to immediately name the father in
court." It is such a desperate moment, she needs to please
the judge in the room, and that's the only way. She promised Casey
she wouldn't say anything but she would much rather do
that than lose the baby." says the actress. Once it's on the record

Very Interesting News, About PAS and NSA
I was just surfing around to various boards this evening, and
happened by this little item on the Manny Board!!
The poster there says and I quote "Nancy and Paul are fired!! It's on
Nancy's private message board". Apparently the person
who manages Nancy's board has given this information, but there are
no details.
Well, all those rumors were indeed true!!

This rumour would appear to have been confirmed by NSA's Fan Club

Yes, I would guess people like myself in the 10 am market will not
see the show, and it will be reaired later in the day. I
would imagine the 3 pm watchers will get to see it and those on the
west coast.
CBS is going to air it, starting at 10, according the promo at the

Chances of NSA and PAS being rehired?
From angelbabe
I asked a friend of mine who is in the know about these things,what
are the chances that TPTB could change their minds and
not fire Paul and Nancy? He told me the chances are close to zero.I
asked him about all of the letters and phone calls that
the Mannyacs are sending saying how loved the couple is,would that
not make a difference?He said that he was sure that TPTB
already knew how popular this couple was and hearing it now wouldn't
make any difference.He went on to say that it was
probably why TPTB fired them with little or no warning.If they were
put on recurring,that could be changed,but being fired
was totally different.He feels like the Manny fans are fighting a
loosing battle but one I guess they feel they must fight
for.A lady on the Mannyac board said she talked to Paul last night
and he never mentioned being fired and told her to
continue writing for Danny.I can't believe that Paul could even
believe that the fans letters could save him even now.It
sounds to me like its a pretty done deal.
From Paddy
I've seen many actors fired from soaps and IMO, it's very rare when
one is rehired very quickly. Sometimes they are brought
back down the line depending on the circumstances of their departure.
Look at the campaign we did on this very board to save
Grant Aleksander and Phillip? Nothing changed.
I've read the cheerleading on the Manny board, and I guess it's never
over till it's over. As long as NSA and PAS are still
taping, I guess there is still hope. But, if I was a Manny fan, I
don't think I'd get my hopes up too high. I would guess the
writers/TPTB have a reason for writing Manny out, and depending on
their exist, it's probably already been written or
formulated into the storyline. JMO. I'm very certain TPTB know how
much the Manny fans love their couple. How could they not
after all these years? And, I'm sure the fans will make threats that
if NSA and PAS are fired, they'll quit as viewers.
Again, I believe TPTB are prepared for this response. They've seen it
before but usually proceed with their plans.
I'm not sure why PAS did not confirm anything to his fans last night.
Perhaps, he feels the confirmation should come from GL
itself?
I'm sure glad I won't be working at the GL studios and the PGP
offices with the amount of e-mails, letters, and phone calls
they are going to get from irrate Manny fans.
By Dax
Anything's possible.
I think 'recurring' is pretty possible (yes, I've read that NSA's fan
club didn't get that impression... I just kinda think
GL may try to 'keep' them, sorta-kinda). Story continues... but Danny
and Michelle won't be the airtime hogs they once were.
They would (due to their 'popularity') probably be the MOST 'present'
recurring players if they were to take on that status
(hey, look, Beth's got a story for a few weeks now... never mind that
it's AWFUL...).
Shows have caved to fan pressure before, but... I think they've been
considering this for awhile...
It's about the budget, first and foremost (not pissing off fanbases,
I don't think...). And which baskets they've chosen to
place all their eggs in. Danny and Michelle don't really fit into the
blonde triumviarate, so they're expendable.
And on the positive side, their story potential WAS limited.
Their 'biggest fans' didn't want them paired with others, and
the apart/together cycle was/is... all played out. I mean, I'm tired
of the same with Josh/Reva and Holden/Lily and they've
got a LOT of years on Manny, but... there's more to those characters
to 'play with' than there is with Danny and Michelle,
always more available shit for the writers to throw at them. Manny
had a psycho mother and generic and redundant mobsters and
a Husband that would always choose to lie to his Wife to 'protect'
her (and their son). Not a lot to work with. Lather,
rinse, repeat.
I wouldn't be stunned to see PAS or NSA return to the show 'by
popular demand'... but I won't be expecting it, either. Could
go either way.
--
Matt and Vanessa (that 'happy couple' can-not-separate-them parallel
keeps coming up) were very popular.
Both were on our screens for a couple days this year.
But not together... show won't throw their fans THAT bone... they
didn't even get a 'last day' together when they were both
still ON the show...

GT may be leaving too
This was on the official board.

would have done anyone in. If she does go..I wish her all the best

Soapdom Spoilers for week of 8/15...
Harley has clearly been obsessing over Phillip's case lately, but
this week we have reason to question her motives for being
so active with Mallet in scoping things out. While in Florida, Mallet
kisses Harley! Does she kiss him back?
Then, back at home, Rick announces that he has exhumed Phillip's body
and confirms Phillip's death. Why does Rick say this
when we know it is not true? Does he have Harley's best interest in
mind, or is he up to something else?
Maybe Rick's announcement is just what Harley needed to hear, seeing
as she and Gus finally exchange their wedding vows.
Apparently, Mallet's kiss didn't mean anything to Harley after all…
but the same doesn't necessarily go for Mallet.
Regardless, he stays silent as he observes the wedding ceremony. Has
he put Harley's happiness before his own
Meanwhile, after a struggle on the boat with Reva and Jonathan, Nate
suffers a tragic death. How is Jonathan feeling about
this? Did he choose to save Reva's life over his father's?
And finally, Lizzie loses control of her financial dilemma this week.

their almost wedding, Gus goes to Alan who tries to tell him that
Phillip is out there -- somewhere. The ceremony is
interupted by Rick, who tells them that Phillip is 100% dead, but he
is lying. Rick receives a call from Phillip, who tells
his best pal that he realizes he needs help and will stay away from
Springfield, as Gus and Harley are pronounced man and
wife by Ross. Coop is horrified when Lizzie steals some money from
the ceremony. Meanwhile, Beth goes to Alan with a

Greetings From The Editor
Lynn Leahey
Dear Readers,
Thank you to all of you who responded to our recent reader survey.
We're using the information to make sure you're getting
everything you want from a soap magazine, and your feedback was very
helpful. Some of you will be contacted for future
surveys and if you have the time, I hope you'll continue to let us
know what you're watching and what's on your mind. I told
the people producing the survey we had loyal, involved readers who
would step up to the plate for us, but even so they were
stunned at the level of response we had. Of course I was happy to
tell them, "I told you so!"
It's brutally hot in New York right now. It would be awfully nice to
be sitting by a pool or the ocean right now, but at
least I get to watch my soaps! I hope you're getting a chance to do
both.
The Water Cooler
Reporting By Mike Bruno
While interviewing OLTL's Bree Williamson (Jessica/Tess) and Renee
Elise Goldsberry (Evangeline) for the On-Set Pals feature
in an upcoming issue of Digest, I learned some interesting things
about these two. First, they're both Capricorns. Second,
they seem to thrive off the balance created between Williamson's
single-girl, bar-hopping downtown life and Goldsberry's
quieter, married uptown life. But the most insightful detail came
toward the end of the interview when Williamson told me
that Goldsberry was an accomplished poet. "You'll have to really,
really beg her to read it to you, though," Williamson said,
"because she's kinda shy about it." When I asked Goldsberry about her
poetry, the actress let out a nervous giggle and then
admitted that yes, she is sort of shy about sharing her verse, but
that Williamson has found a way to bring her out of her
shell. "When I read, she does this sort of interpretive dance next to
me that goes along with the words," Goldsberry said.
"It's really incredible. If she dances, I'll totally read for you
sometime." She then burst into hysterical laughter,
admitting that they had both pulled my leg with the story, and
demonstrating the last interesting thing I learned about these
gals: They love messin' with ya.

ATWT "I'm very disappointed at ATWT's decision to fire Hunt Block and
what they've done to the character of Craig, a fixture
in Oakdale for most of the past 25 years. Worse still, was the
interview that ATWT Head Writer Jean Passanante [gave]in the
8/9 issue. The idea that Craig has to be written off to pay for his
crimes is ludicrous. Craig's character, which has long
been duplicitous and greedy, has never been violent, especially
towards those he cares for. The idea that Craig would
intentionally run his wife, Rosanna, off the road completely goes
against his entire history, especially with Ro. A few
months ago, Craig risked his life to save Rosanna from serial killer
James Stenbeck! It just doesn't make sense. While the
writers may feel Craig should pay for his crimes, apparently other
characters in Oakdale go free. If ATWT wants characters to
pay for their crimes, then Barbara and Dusty should have suffered
long before Craig. The loss of Hunt Block to the ATWT cast
is extremely sad. The destruction of his character is unfair in light
of the incredible lack of paying for crimes other
characters in Oakdale do."

Greetings From The Editor
Lynn Leahey
Dear Readers,
Are you loving the scenes on BOLD AND BEAUTIFUL in which meddlesome,
manipulative Stephanie is finally getting what's coming
to her? Susan Flannery (Stephanie), Katherine Kelly Lang (Brooke)
and Lesley-Anne Down (Jackie) have been fantastic (making
up for the confusingly bland Dr. Mark). I've waited months for
Steph's comeuppance and it was worth every minute. DAYS OF OUR
LIVES fans will say the same about what's happening to Kate next
week -- I don't want to ruin any surprises, but our next
issue's cover line, "Kate's Busted," gives you a clue. On soaps,
revenge on someone who's wronged is sweet indeed -- life
doesn't usually offer such drama-packed symmetry. I'll be tuning in
for the fireworks.
Join Our Reader Panel!
We would love your feedback on our magazine -- let us know what you'd
like to see more of in each week's issue! It's quick
(we promise!), and easy to do. Just go to
http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.asp?u=249381232539 to begin. Thank you
for your

The Water Cooler
Reporting By Jennifer Lenhart
I had a really interesting lunch interview today with CBS's Barbara
Bloom (senior vice president, Daytime, Children's
Programs and Special Projects) and while we were talking about
GUIDING LIGHT, she mentioned having read a transcript of one
of Digest's GL chats from a couple of months ago. As we talked about
the fans' passionate, articulate discussion about their
show (and especially in reaction to budget cuts), I got a little
wistful about our chats being discontinued. Yes, sometimes
it became a giant fan base war, but the chat was my most direct link
to the actual viewers -- who I looked forward to seeing
every other week -- and it also gave me a chance to address their
questions/concerns about the magazine. I've since become an
even bigger Internet lurker than before. My regular stops include the
busiest ezboard forums ParkWest (whose members sent me
a very nice e-card on the last chat day), Beautiful Prose and Saints
No More, as well as weloveatwt.com and the AS THE WORLD
TURNS boards over at Television Without Pity (my normal source for
all things prime-time) -- so I can report back to everyone
here, and whoever will listen at ATWT, for that matter. Since a lot
of the actors are a little nervous about checking online,
they'll sometimes ask what the fans are saying, and sometimes, I'll
volunteer it -- just today, I told Grayson McCouch
(Dusty) about the increase in positive Dusty buzz lately. So to the
chatters: I miss you all, and please keep letting me know
about the best new ATWT Web sites to check out. And to my bosses: I
consider all of this research, not goofing off.

Soap fans are a vocal bunch, see what fellow viewers are saying about
their shows.
"I have been a fan of BOLD AND BEAUTIFUL for 12 years, and I have
always hated the way women are portrayed on this show.
They are seen as weak and needy, and if a woman is portrayed as being
strong and independent, it is presented in a negative
light. You have Brooke, who sleeps around because she has to have a
man by her side to support her. With the return of my
favorite character, Taylor, who is standing by and allowing Ridge to
tell her that he needs to spend time with Brooke. What?
Then there is Stephanie, the only independent woman on the show,
whose independence is portrayed as evil. She is evil because
Ridge married Taylor of his own choosing. Now Jackie is out to
destroy Stephanie because she cannot keep her own man. Then
you have Bridget and Nick and his inappropriate relationship with
Brooke. Bridget, who instead of standing up for herself
after witnessing inappropriate interaction between Nick and her mom,
runs off crying into the arms of another man. Finally
there is Darla, who only appears to stroke Thorne's ego."

Summertime, and the living is...well, it's never exactly easy when
you're DAYS OF OUR LIVES' Marlena (Deidre Hall, pictured
above with Drake Hogestyn). Unlike many of her veteran soap
contemporaries, however, Hall's Marlena is in a front-and-center
storyline this summer, instead of taking a backseat to the show's
teens. In our Top 10 Plus list, we give DAYS credit for
giving the fans what they really want.

The Top 10 Plus
What Weekly editors are buzzing about...or not.
1. After ALL MY CHILDREN's Tad was shot, Dixie cut open his shirt —
perhaps because while the bullet drew blood, it clearly
didn't penetrate his sleeve!
2. Brooke was BOLD AND BEAUTIFUL when she finally gave it to
Ridge...including her ring.
3. AS THE WORLD TURNS' Keith climbed a ladder to Lily's bedroom. How
DAWSON'S CREEK!
4. AMC's Zach needs some new help: His pit bosses let Lily win
$211,000 before realizing she was counting cards — because she
told them. And security didn't check the obvious minor's ID?
5. It's a good thing GH's junior detective Jesse wears his shield
around his neck, just like moms pin addresses on their tots
on their first day of school. Now he won't miss the bus!
6. PASSIONS' Liz and Alistair certainly have one-track minds. During
a tsunami, all they could think about was sex with
Julian and Katherine, respectively. Why not pair off Liz and Al?!
7. Kudos to DAYS OF OUR LIVES for featuring veterans Deidre Hall
(Marlena), Drake Hogestyn (John), Josh Taylor (Roman) and
Wayne Northrop (Alex) in a front-burner summer storyline. That
formula has always worked well on THE YOUNG AND THE RESTLESS.
8. Too bad Dr. Thomas turned out to be a psycho, considering how many
characters on GH are in desperate need of therapy.
9. With all the yelling on GUIDING LIGHT, Procter & Gamble should
market a line of earplugs for the characters to shill (and
the audience to wear).
10. B&B's Stephanie must be despondent. She was wearing black
sneakers with the lovely lavender outfit she wore for Nick and
Bridget's wedding.
11. When Y&R's Paul saw Nikki's "MAR" clue in her blood, it would've
been hilarious if he had responded, "My mother's
involved?"
12. When OLTL's Viki confronted Hayes in jail, we were waiting for
her to scare him by going, "You think YOU'RE NUTS? I have
SEVEN personalities! Which one would you like to see first?!"
13. At the rate he's going, PASSIONS' little Mark is going to need as
much time in therapy as GH's Michael.
14. Who wouldn't have 20/20 vision with Y&R's Scott and OLTL's Hugh
proving that glasses are sexy? Hunky nerds of daytime,
unite!
For Your Eyes Only
We have always been big fans of Eva LaRue (ex-Maria, AMC) around
here, so when it was announced that she was joining the cast
of CSI: MIAMI, a collective cheer went up. So of course we wanted to
include her in our upcoming prime time section. Time was
of the essence, so I gave my cell phone number to her publicist. We
missed each other the first time, but the second time I
was able to get 10 minutes with her. At 8 p.m., I was crouched over
the sidewalk writing frantically on the pavement. But for
Eva? ANYTHING.

Why We Clapped
OLTL's Kathy Brier blew away the WEEKLY staff with her hilarious
drunken Marcie act, drinking in Applause, Applause kudos for
Issue 33. Try as she might, Marcie was unable to drown her guilt in
booze or distract herself with Hugh. Brier made fans see
the real pain underneath Marcie's faux "fun." The actress seemed to
enjoy playing the scenes as much as the audience enjoyed
watching them.
Listening Station
•GH's Lucky and Elizabeth shared a dance and some dialogue to Rie
Sinclair's "Where You Are" on July 18. The song played

2.
Nightwatch
Miss AMERICAN IDOL? CBS' new reality show ROCK STAR: INXS is a fine,
stage-smashing substitute, and it drums several
improvements into the singing competition genre.
It makes a dramatic difference that the contestants, all of whom are
competing to replace the late Michael Hutchence as INXS'
lead singer, generally get to perform songs they know well and love —
imagine that! Along with the memorable rock hits (such
as R.E.M.'s "The One I Love" and the Black Crowes' "Hard to Handle"),
there is suspense. (Will Mig be able to articulate
every complex phrase in "Walk This Way"?) There are also some shocks:
Two women were axed at once, after doing commendable
jobs on stage. These talented rockers aren't saddled with '60s songs
or grandiose movie themes. Watching them pick from (and
occasionally trade) a number of songs each week is a treat, but their
ability to arrange and rehearse their perfs with the
show's wildly versatile band is a wonderful bonus. J.D.'s tough take
on Alanis Morissette's "Hand in My Pocket" was a catchy
winner.
And here's the kicker: Each week's three lowest viewer vote-getters
have one more chance to prove themselves by singing INXS
numbers...to INXS itself, who sends one home. The bandmates, acting
as the show's judges (along with the surprisingly
telegenic co-host, musician Dave Navarro), make quick decisions and
some harsh comments, but they're usually on the mark. As
for who will make it big, Ty may be a front-runner, but the energized
J.D., explosive Marty and ethereally voiced Jessica are
the wailers to watch. — MW
The We In Weekly
From Joe Diliberto: Bravo to AMC's Reggie for setting Lily straight:
Ghosts don't exist, and people who believe in them are
simply deluding themselves. Or watching soap operas, where ghosts
tend to appear with...er, frightening regularity, but
little point. If Cassie's ghost wanted to be useful and do more than
just make Nick sad on Y&R, she could tell everybody she
was driving the car, and get Daniel off the hook.
From Mala Bhattacharjee: GL's Ritchie Coster, as Nate/Alfred, is
without a doubt one of the scariest villains to ever hit
daytime. As the tension builds in all of these Reva/Jonathan/Nate
scenes, we have to remind ourselves that the talented
Coster is simply (and very effectively) playing a part. I guess we
should count ourselves lucky that he hasn't teamed up with
Roscoe Born's Terrible Tom on Y&R. That's one crossover that would
leave viewers checking under the bed.
From Robert Schork: Some of the best young adult characters on soaps
are the ones we watched grow up. That kind of real-time
backstory provides character depth and storyline potential that you
just can't wing with newly created characters. Watching
all of the Sturm and Drang whirling around GH's Michael — how many
adults are fighting over him, how many traumatic things he
has experienced — it occurred to me that Michael has the potential to
be THE tortured male antihero in another 10 years. Note
to Sonny and Jason: You think you have your hands full NOW?
It's My Party
Check back next week for the latest party news!
Here's the good news for GENERAL HOSPITAL fans: Michael (Dylan Cash,
above, being comforted by Jennifer Bransford's Carly)
didn't kill his biological dad, AJ. The bad news is the show is
undertaking a major history rewrite to pin the blame
elsewhere. Soap fans remember everything, so it's likely that our
Robert Schork isn't alone in recalling how things played
out the first time around. Check out his version of events in our The

The Top 10 Plus
What Weekly editors are buzzing about...or not.
1. Who talks to their mom while wearing a gaping bathrobe? ALL MY
CHILDREN's JR! Casual viewers tuning in might assume JR and
Di shared more than just DNA.
2. ONE LIFE TO LIVE's Kevin and Kelly steamed up the afternoon with
their hot shower sex. Scandalized editors noted that you
could almost see their...suds.
3. As if AS THE WORLD TURNS' baby-switch story wasn't derivative
enough, Will actually wanted to nickname Jennifer's kid
"Lucky."
4. Most likely to...solve a crime: High school yearbooks figured
prominently as keys to mysteries on GENERAL HOSPITAL and
OLTL.
5. If you listen to the promos, it's a "Summer of Secrets" on ABC
Daytime and CBS' prime-time BIG BROTHER 6. Well, the ad
campaigns were no secret....
6. GUIDING LIGHT's Blake wanted to know about all of Harley's
adventures. Except for Lena and Wallace dying. No one wants to
think about that.
7. OLTL's Tess to Nash: "Sex with you would be great...I can tell."
So regular-looking guys = bland sex?
8. We're proud of Jennifer Finnigan (ex-Bridget, THE BOLD AND THE
BEAUTIFUL) snagging the CLOSE TO HOME role, but do we have
to watch those prime-time series' promos all summer?!
9. When GL's Jonathan excused his and Tammy's hot taboo make-out
session with "we weren't really doing anything," a few
editors couldn't help but laugh. A lot of us got in trouble for "not
doing anything" back in the day, too.
10. During Nick and Sharon's latest miseryfest on THE YOUNG AND THE
RESTLESS, his telling her it's not going to be this way
forever isn't completely reassuring.
11. Poor Liz on PASSIONS. First her sister torches her nightclub, now
an earthquake levels it. What's next, a flood? Oh,
wait, actually...
12. Memo to B&B's Stephanie: Who's the schmuck now?!
For Your Eyes Only

Mailbag
Editorial assistant Erica Brown was shocked to find these beautiful
flowers delivered to her desk early this week. "The fans
of AMC's JR thank you for the Soap Opera Weekly chats," notes Ellyn
from Chicago. "Thanks for being so nice, positive and
informative." No, thank you!
M&M's are pouring into the office by the bagfull. DAYS fans love Matt
Ashford (Jack) and Melissa Reeves (Jennifer) and are
devoted to the Deveraux clan and they want it to be known. We are
most grateful. Too bad it's bathing suit season.
The Great Debate
Sure, GH's Kelly Monaco (Sam) is beautiful — but she also showed off
an impressive set of talents, running away with top
honors for Issue 32's Applause, Applause. Monaco did a wonderful job
portraying Sam as sympathetic to Jason's anguish. Her
gestures perfectly externalized her feelings. And her drunken scenes
were fun and flirty without being falling-down
over-the-top. Monaco understands that real drunks try to behave
straight, not goofy — they're just clumsy and...sleepy. What
could be more touching (or more symbolic of how comfortable she feels
with Jason) than nodding off in his arms? Sweet.

•Country band Trick Pony guest-starred as themselves on the July 26

Nightwatch
•ROSWELL fans — and there are many who loved the romance-filled story
of half-human alien teens — will be thrilled to find a
DVD set of the sci-fi soap's third season in stores Aug. 9. The set
features several episode commentaries by the WB/UPN
series' producers, including Jonathan Frakes, whose wife, Genie
Francis (ex-Laura, GH), played the alien teens' mom.
Executive producer/writer Jason Katims' commentary over "Graduation,"
the series finale, is entertaining and enlightening.
Aside from revealing that a season's worth of story had to be
condensed into this episode, he notes the scenes were shot out
of order, and the actors had to shoot their "death" scenes (not the
touching farewell wedding)...last.
High schooler Liz and hybrid Max's roller-coaster love story pervaded
the series from the premiere, and hit a major level in
this third season, wrapped in a shocking revelation about one major
character. Shiri Appleby (Liz) notes one of the main
reasons for the series' popularity: "The relationship between the
characters...they're always there for each other,
supporting each other." The actress' favorite ROSWELL moment was the
series finale, thanks to "the excitement, and all the
emotions while we were shooting. I look back on that episode with the
fondest memories." There were behind-the-scenes moments
we didn't see: "In the last episode, Brendan [Fehr, Michael] broke
his arm, so there are certain shots where his arm is
hidden; he had a cast on."
As a bonus, Appleby is featured in a flashy, fun Japan tour segment,
of which she recalls, "It was incredible. The idea that
someone calls and asks if you and a girlfriend want to go to Japan
for a week... (laughs) It blew my mind that people were
actually watching ROSWELL [there]." This DVD set presents your chance
to see Appleby in a kimono; she participated in a
ritual that happened to be taking place during her visit.
This enjoyable 20th Century Fox package's viewers can also catch the
early work of Katherine Heigl (the fiery Isabel; now
Isobel, GREY'S ANATOMY) and Emilie deRavin (the mysterious Tess; now
Claire, LOST). Appleby says, "It was a great first
experience for all of us, getting us going; it was a blast to work
on, and to have people out there appreciate what we did."

•Join NBC's "LAW FIRM": Those suffering from APPRENTICE withdrawal
should take heed — NBC is offering something to help take
the edge off, and in THE APPRENTICE's time slot, no less. David E.
Kelley's first foray into reality programming, THE LAW
FIRM, is an intriguing look at how a bunch of type-A litigators try
to outmaneuver each other in and out of the courtroom.
Acting as their "judge" is famed trial attorney Roy Black, who
eliminates a member of the "firm" every week after reviewing
their performance in court. For Black, part of the appeal in signing
on to such a series is helping to restore the reputation
of his profession. "Lawyers have always been the butt of jokes and
criticism," he explains. "We can be very contentious
people. The worst thing is to have someone in your family who goes to
law school, because then they come home and
cross-examine you all night. It's just the personality of people and
the training that we get. We can be a royal pain in the
ass. So, nee!
dless to say, we are not the most popular people in the world. David
is a guy who really loves the law and loves lawyers, so
he and I talked about doing a show that people could see behind, not
only what happens in the court, but how they got there.
You can watch CourtTV and see real trials going on, but you don't
know what went on in the preparation phase. The great thing
about this show, it not only shows the best of the courtroom, but it
shows what they have to do to get there. Which I think
opens people's eyes. Perhaps they have a little bit more feeling for
what lawyers do." — RS
The We In Weekly
From Robert Schork: My colleague Mala and I have been shaking our
heads during the 3 p.m. hour, as we've watched GH demonize
AJ into a hateful monster and shamefully rewrite history in the
process. It's bad enough the guy is dead — talk about kicking
someone when they're down! At the rate they're going, I supposed
we'll learn during November Sweeps that AJ was the shadowy
figure spotted on the grassy knoll in Dallas.
It's My Party
Hi, Carolyn Hinsey here. I went to the premiere of the hilarious new
documentary The Aristocrats Tuesday night in NYC and was
thrilled to run into Amy Carlson (ex-Josie, ANOTHER WORLD) with Bebe
Neuwirth (Lilith, FRASIER, her co-star from LAW & ORDER:
TRIAL BY JURY) and Tuc Watkins (David, OLTL). Tuc starred on BEGGARS
AND CHOOSERS with the film's director Paul Provenza (who
is an old friend of mine) so we all had a fine time catching up and
laughing about the movie. Caution: If it is possible for
a word or an act to offend you, you should not see this film. But if
you enjoy the occasionally dirty (okay, filthy) joke and
get — or want to learn more about — what comedians do behind the
scenes, then go see this wild, raucous film.

Greetings From The Editor
Lynn Leahey
Dear Readers,
Soap actors are almost always happy to sit for a Digest interview,
and lots of them have interesting stories to tell. But few
have tales as tormented as Roscoe Born, veteran of 11 soaps and
currently doing mesmerizing work as Y&R's Terrible Tom. You
might remember back in 1997, when Born was playing Jim on AMC, he
just never showed up for work one day, taking off for Texas
instead. There was backlash and even a lawsuit, and Born recounts the
odyssey that followed with surprising candor. Now he's
back, determined to prove himself all over again. What he's already
proof of is that giving someone a second chance can be a
very wise move.
The Water Cooler
Reporting By Naomi Rabinowitz
Many soap stars have shared stories about how their exposure led to
them hearing from an old acquaintance, but I never
expected my job at Digest to make this happen for me. However, I
recently received a lovely letter from my fourth grade
teacher. I haven't spoken to her since I was in her class in 1984 — a
whole drinking age ago! — so you can imagine how
shocked I was when her letter came to me at the office. Turns out
she's a huge DAYS fan and subscribes to the magazine. She'd
seen my byline and had been wondering if it was her former student;
she knew for sure when I included a childhood picture of
myself in an "Editor's Corner." She just sent me another letter,
informing me of all of the other teachers I'd grown up with
who are also long-time soap fans. I'll admit, the kid in me, who
really didn't think about teachers having outside lives, is
having a difficult time imagining them chatting about their shows at
work. But now that I think about it, she got me addicted
to my first "soap." On the last day of school, she rewarded me and
three other students who'd gotten straight A's by taking
us to a Laura Ingalls Wilder exhibit at the local library. After
that, I became obsessed with the Little House series, which
really is a continuing drama, albeit a literary one. My love for
those books helped inspire my dreams of becoming a writer.
So, thanks to my teacher for giving me such a wonderful gift. As a
writer at Digest, I'm glad I'm finally able to keep you
informed on one of your favorite subjects.
Insider Info
Ever wonder what Digest editors talk about in the halls? Here's
what's on our minds this week.
Mike Bruno: OLTL has done a good job burying the tough, bad-boy Todd
of days past by having him get his butt kicked by
Margaret every time they tangle. Lori Latusek: How many times have
you looked at a long-ago picture of yourself and flinched,
thinking, "What was I doing wearing that way-too-dark lip-liner and
leaving the house with those hideous eyebrows?" Well, at
least we have the option of tossing, burning or throwing darts at
those unflattering photos. Soap vets, however, aren't so
lucky. So when Y&R aired a flashback of Sheila (Kimberlin Brown) and
Lauren (Tracey E. Bregman) from nearly 15 years ago, I
gasped. But once I got past their darker, bigger hair, I realized
that these beautiful actresses haven't aged one bit! If
growing more beautiful with age is the basis of sayings like, "The
30s are the new 20s," then these ladies are solid proof!
Jennifer Lenhart: An ATWT spokesperson assures us that that was NOT
Roger Howarth (Paul) pushing the baby carriage -- in
drag! -- at the end of last Friday's show, as had been speculated all
over fan Web sites this week (though we did a
double-take, too).... Is anyone else creeped out by the fact that on
ATWT, Maddie's fantasy life involves elaborate romantic
scenarios featuring her brother and his ex-wife? Devin Owens: We're
loving that B&B's Brooke has finally grown a spine (take
that, Ridge!) but my, my our usually hardy, heroine Bridget has
gotten weepy and helpless as of late. Take a cue from Ma,
girl, and if you really think Nick's heart isn't fully in your
relationship, then kick him to the curb! Brooke wasted the
best years of her youth (but she still looks damn beautiful) on a
wishy-washy beau; don't make the same mistake.
Star Sightings
Daniel Markel (ex-David Stenbeck, ATWT) at the Lakeside Country Club
in Toluca Lake, CA.... Eric Braeden (Victor, Y&R) taking
in The Pacifier on a flight from Baltimore to Los Angeles.... James
Mitchell (Palmer, AMC) strolling in New York's Times
Square.
Type Set
Soap fans are a vocal bunch -- see what fellow viewers are saying
about their shows.
"I'm pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed the fake kiss between
Dillon and Maxie on GH. There wasn't an inkling of
romantic chemistry between them, but it was a great set-up to
solidify two young couples the show has with Georgie and
Dillon, and Jesse and Maxie. Maxie and Jesse both want each other,
but are playing a cat and mouse game. They are a perfect
match. I can't wait until they finally get together for good. Kirsten
Storms (Maxie) and Matt Marraccini (Jesse) work so well
together. Georgie and Dillon are one of the most stable couples on
the show. Georgie's reaction to Dillon helping to make
Jesse jealous was mature and calm. Lindze Letherman (Georgie) and
Scott Clifton's (Dillon) chemistry continues to be better
than any other couple on daytime television. It was a riot watching
Georgie jump into the middle of the twin bed between
Dillon and Maxie. Though, next time there's a party in Dillon's room,
this fan hopes it's a private one consisting of only
Dillon and Georgie. This couple deserves some much-needed romance!"

What I'm Watching
By Stephanie Sloane
My current viewing obsession? LAGUNA BEACH on MTV. This soap/reality
show hybrid bills itself as the "real OC," since it
takes place in Orange County, CA, where the FOX susder is set. The
show, in its second season, is an addictive glimpse into
the lives of attractive, privileged, camera-friendly teens -- some in
their final year of high school, some who graduated
last year -- and provides just as much drama and excitement as its
scripted counterpart. Kristin, the fun-seeking bubbly
blonde who comprised one-third of last year's popular
Kristin/Stephen/LC triangle is this year's narrator. Every week, she
and her pals deal with boyfriend troubles and girl clique rivals and
take frequent shopping trips in their tony town. (Sure,
there are parents around, but they don't play as prominent a role as
Sandy Cohen does on THE OC.)
It's no surprise LB has such a strong soap hook -- it's co-produced
by Wendy Riche, the Emmy-winning one-time Executive
Producer of GENERAL HOSPITAL and PORT CHARLES. She knows how to grab
an audience.
First-run episodes run on Monday nights at 10 p.m. EST; catch a rerun
all through the week. Trust me, it's worth it.

Soap Scrambler Answer
Paul Satterfield (Spencer, OLTL)
Wasn't it just yesterday when Nikolas (Tyler Christopher) and
Courtney (Alicia Leigh Willis) were walking down the aisle with
their spouses? Today those marriages aren't nearly as interesting as
the developing tryst between these two not-so-happily
marrieds, who garnered mentions in both our Top 10 Plus and The We in
Weekly sections.

The Top 10 Plus
What Weekly editors are buzzing about...or not.
1. GENERAL HOSPITAL's boy detective Jesse and evil Dr. Thomas both
masqueraded as hospital janitors. Somewhere, there's a
closetful of unconscious, naked maintenance engineers.
2. GUIDING LIGHT's Marina is toting bikinis in case she has to go
undercover quickly? Is she training to be a cop or one of
Charlie's Angels?
3. Just weeks after Marcie puked on Hugh's shoes, did we really have
to hear ONE LIFE TO LIVE's John hurl the morning after
his bender? Ew.
4. If you're going to commit murder, do it in Port Charles. GH's
Jason killed Dr. Thomas in the Q living room, for which most
people would get 25 to life. Jason got a romantic cruise with Sam.
5. Which police chief is worse? GL's Frank, for letting Marina date
an ex-mobster and become a cop? Or GH's Mac, for cutting
off Maxie because she's dating a cop?
6. For two people who never shared any serious screen time before,
GH's Alicia Leigh Willis (Courtney) and Tyler Christopher
(Nikolas) have been red-hot.
7. Marlena's amnesia has got DAYS OF OUR LIVES' John going off the
deep end. How else would you explain the fact that he
defended Kate for setting up Sami?
8. On PASSIONS, what are the odds that the coffin Katherine clutches
to save her life would be that of her dead sister,
Rachel?
9. Does PASSIONS' Chad really think he, Whitney and Miles can be a
family anywhere besides a VC Andrews book? And did he have
to look so happy about shagging his sister again? Hello, Flowers in
the Attic!
10. Even loyal supporters of THE BOLD AND THE BEAUTIFUL's Bridget
probably found her paranoia about Nick's feelings for
Brooke a bit pathetic.
For Your Eyes Only
We're working on it for next week...
Mailbag
When life hands you lemons...
While sweltering in the hot summer NYC heat, we can relax with a
glass of cold lemonade in the office thanks to fans of DAYS'
Shawn and Belle. "We Shelle fans have supported our couple despite
all the angst thrown at them," shares Melissa Underwood,
one of the devotees sending in packets of lemonade.
Why We Clapped
Steve Burton blew away the competition when it came to Applause,
Applause for issue 34. It's a tough job to play a hit man
who is often considered as emotionless as he is fearless, yet Burton
consistently makes Jason sympathetic. And there was a
lot to feel for, as Jason struggled with guilt over Michael's
psychological problems. As a father figure for the youth, Jason
feared he had let the child down — but Burton never lets his fans
down. His alternately subtle and big performance was right
on target!
Listening Station
•GH's Sonny stocked Jason and Sam's yacht cabin with a radio playing
an instrumental version of Rie Sinclair's "Just You and
Me" on August 9. Now that's flexing some mob muscle!
•DAYS' Jack and Jennifer shared a bittersweet but romantic dance to
Jen and Frankie's song, Ben E. King's classic "Stand By
Me," in their living room on August 11 as Frankie imagined himself in
Jack's place.
Nightwatch
With I WANNA BE A SOAP STAR wrapping up (Will Alec or Prudence be the
AMC recast next week?) and DANCING WITH THE STARS champ
Kelly Monaco (Sam) learning "new" moves on GH, we want to know which
daytime actors you'd like to see compete in...DANCING
WITH A SOAP STAR! All nine soaps are in the running; the top six
stars will be listed in a future Nightwatch. Just send your
picks (up to three), and the reasons why they should light up the
dance floor, to Marc.Wilkofsky@....
The We In Weekly
From Tonya Lensch: Brooke barely had a chance to come up for air
after dumping Ridge, when her little Hope almost died in a
jacuzzi accident. (We're beginning to think that B&B comes up with
stories to specifically make tear-pro Katherine Kelly Lang
cry.) While it was horrifying to watch Hope struggling in the spa in
the all-too-realistic scenes, kudos to B&B for
spotlighting spa safety. "My hair got stuck," Hope said when she woke
up. Luckily she's okay because we're stuck on those
little cuties, twins Rachel and Amanda Pace, who play this precious
little girl.
From Robert Schork: Why can't GH's Jason and Sam have something else
on when they go to bed besides street clothes and
shoes?! Hasn't anyone in Port Charles ever heard of PAJAMAS? While we
don't expect Sonny's enforcer to be traipsing around in
fuzzy slippers and pastel PJs, even boxers would suffice over blue
jeans and workboots.
From Mala Bhattacharjee: As crazy and awful as OLTL's Margaret is,
was it truly necessary to have Todd try to choke her to
death while she's pregnant? On the heels of Greenlee's miscarriage on
AMC, and with GH's Courtney struggling so hard with her
inability to conceive, I actually found myself yelling, "Do it,
Margaret! Stab Todd!" when she shoved the scissors into him.
And speaking of that...Courtney's OTHER struggle — failing to keep
herself from kissing Nikolas — has been highly
entertaining. Jax's smug 'tude and obsession with Liz has editors
rooting for Nikolas and Courtney's hook-up, if only by
default. Of course, Nikolas doesn't come off looking so good in this
equation: "My raped wife hasn't been paying attention to
me. Boo-hoo, let's make out." Maybe someone will stick some scissors
in him after Courtney's finished having some fun!

FALL PREVIEWS
Thinking that Bridget had aborted her child, Brooke and Nick
admitted their feelings for each other. Brooke thought she had

have an abortion and was only testing Nick's love for her. Putting
her daughter's needs before her own, Brooke tells Nick
that they have to forget their feelings - but can they do it?
Ridge and Taylor reach an impasse in their marriage because of his
inability to give up on feelings for Brooke. Can therapy
help them? For once, rather than Ridge having to choose which woman
he wants, it will be a question of whether Brooke or

his mother, and Gaby gets aggressive once Taylor decides to get her
out of the country!

FALL PREVIEW
Cassie/Edmund/Dinah - After Michelle gives birth, Edmund is
successful at slealing the baby and passes her off as his (and
Cassie's). Dinah finally puts two and two together, but after the
fact. Then, of course, Edmund has to keep Dinah quiet and
away from Cassie. New Springfield PD rookie Marina looks into whether
Michelle's baby died the way everyone was led to
believe. But this is a double-edged sword, because if there was
indeed a baby (and it is really Danny's) this could mean the
end for her relationship with Danny. Question: Does this also make GL
fans suspicious that Edmund did a similar thing with
Cassie and Richard's baby several years ago? Will this be addressed?
Stay tuned…..
Lewis Family - As previously reported, Daniel Cosgrove (Bill) will be
leaving GL this fall for a new series. GL will write
the character out of the show with Bill leaving town because of his
relationship with Billy. Olivia will cross the line again
Billy, which leads to her making the wrong choice. The right person
for Olivia might well be right in front of her. Billy
tries to help Reva take her mind off her problems as she pushes Josh
away. Question: When will Olivia run out of Lewis men to
marry? Is Billy next? Crystal Chappell (Olivia) is reportedly in
contract negotiations and hopes to remain with the show, so
only time will tell about Olivia's next beau.
Gus/Harley/Mallet - After the honeymoon, Gus believes he has to take
over at Spaulding since Alan is out of the picture.
Harley is supportive, but will get pulled into things more than she
thought. Blake writes another book that showcases the
Harley/Mallet relationship for the public, which might mean trouble
for the newlyweds.
The Spauldings - We continue to "see" Springfield through Phillip's
eyes, but not see HIM (Grant Aleksander, who played
Phillip for over two decades has said he won't be coming back to the
role). Alan Michael returns to Springfield this fall. He
and Lucy broke up off-camera (yet the Spauldings and Coopers never
mentioned this?). A-M comes back to help at Spaulding, but
how will he and Gus work together? Are A-M's intentions honorable or
does he have an agenda of his own?
Jonathan/Tammy/Sandy - Tammy and Jonathan continue to have a deep
connection to one another. Tammy really wants Sandy to be
the 'anti-Jonathan.' Jonathan's new friend, Ava, will have a
connection to someone else in Springfield, which will be
revealed pretty quickly.
Lizzie/Coop - Lizzie loves Coop and wants to annoy the Spauldings by
marrying him. Will Coop leave Lizzie and go to Oxford to
pursue his dream?

SCOOP! DAYS CASTS AMAZING RACE HUNK
As evidenced by his thespian exertions on E!'s Kill Reality, The
Amazing Race 4 champ Reichen Lehmkuhl is angling for an
acting career. Specifically, the beefcake calendar pinup hopes to
become a soap-opera player. At the very least, he has been
successful in getting himself cast as soap bartenders. Shortly after
winning TAR with ex-husband Chip Arndt in 2003, he
served up cocktails at The Young and the Restless' Genoa City
Athletic Club. On Sept. 29, Days of our Lives viewers will see
Reichen tending bar at Salem's poshest restaurant, Chez Rouge.
"Kate (Lauren Koslow) and Nicole (Arianne Zuker) check out my butt
and say that I'm cute — in a bartender sort of way,"
Reichen reports to TVGuide.com via e-mail. "The best part was that
several of the cast came up to me and knew who I was. They
were fervently asking me how to get on The Amazing Race. I told them
to get me on Days as a regular and then I would help
them get on the Race!
"I had a wonderful time," he adds. "I've done sitcoms, plays and a
few films now, but soaps are still my favorite kind of
work. I wouldn't give up one of my Days of our Lives for anything."

ATWT/GL EXEC STEPS DOWN
Mary Alice Dwyer-Dobbin, executive in charge of production for the
Procter & Gamble-produced As the World Turns and Guiding
Light, will exit her post when her contract expires later this month.
P&G will then eliminate the position, in which
Dwyer-Dobbin was creatively responsible for both soaps and served as
liaison between the production company and CBS. "I am
proud of all that I have accomplished with these shows, and I have
thoroughly enjoyed being a part of television history —
running two of the longest-running programs in broadcast history,"
Dwyer-Dobbin said in the announcement. "GL and ATWT have
the strongest and most creative producers and head writers in the
business at the helm, and I feel wonderful about assembling
such a powerful team at each studio. I wish them continued success
and hope that the genre at large continues to strive. As
for me, I am looking forward to some time off to relax with my
husband, and I will eventually explore other opportunities
down the road."
SOAP STAR'S LIGHT GOES OUT
Guiding Light's cast roster just keeps on hemorrhaging fan favorites.
The CBS sudser now officially confirms that Daniel
Cosgrove will last air as Billy and Vanessa's swaggering son, Bill

handsome Beverly Hills, 90210 grad is returning to prime-time TV in
ABC's midseason legal drama In Justice. Cosgrove tapes
his final scenes on GL's set this month and begins filming In Justice
in October. In happier news, Cosgrove and wife Marie

baby girl weighed in at 7 lbs., 15 1/2 ounces and
measured 20 1/2 inches long.
BB6 REJECT GETS RESTLESS
Big Brother 6 contestant Kaysar Ridha may have been voted out of the
house twice, but he got a consolation prize most soap
fans would kill for! On Oct. 5, the 25-year-old Iraqi-American
graphic designer will appear as a day player on The Young and
the Restless. His character is a magazine editor who rides aboard the
Newman Enteprises corporate jet with Brad (Don Diamont)
and Sharon (Sharon Case).

addiction brings her to an unthinkable new low. Paul and Emily's
conspiracy is falling apart. Meanwhile, Carly's devious tactics to
keep baby Rory pay off.

marriage to her own advantage. Hector helps out when Ridge and Taylor
land in trouble.

That rascally Reva receives a bitter taste of her own saucy medicine.
While Dinah struggles to escape captivity, Edmund is
disturbed when Michelle reaches out to the newborn babe he snatched
from her. Lizzie fights fire with fire after Coop's life
is threatened.

watches in the shadows as Lauren hosts Scotty's homecoming

Greetings From The Editor
Lynn Leahey
Dear Readers,
I go away for just two days to pick up my kids from camp, and come
back to find that poor GUIDING LIGHT had a mercury spill
that caused the show to be shut down, and the actors who were
possibly contaminated had to be quarantined (everyone's fine,
thank goodness). Nothing so dramatic happened in the Digest office,
unless you count a water bug that had the Weekly editors
down the hall in a panic. I'm sure they would like to have shut down,
too, and gone shopping for a few hours (actually, that
would have been me) but no such luck. Everyone soldiered on and by
four o'clock had recovered enough to have cupcakes for
Carolyn Hinsey's birthday. (In my opinion, Carolyn looks great for
someone who's celebrating her 40th. Again.)
I hope you're staying cool and find something to celebrate during the
dog days of summer!
The Water Cooler
Reporting By Tom Stacy
Soaps have distinctive personalities. Storytelling on CBS's YOUNG AND
RESTLESS is slow and steady, and never misses the
opportunity to explore a personal beat. For example, Terrible Tom's
return not only affects his not-so-ex-wife Gloria and her
new hubby, John, but each and every member of the entire Abbott and
Fisher clans. Over at ABC, GENERAL HOSPITAL storylines
travel at a whizzing rate. The action was fast and furious as Carly
uncovered the secret that Reese was her former best
friend who'd come to town to claim her now-rival's life. And when the
girls duked it out at Kelly's,-- it was Rocky vs.
Apollo Creed (only with much more attractive gladiators.) I had the
chance to sample PASSIONS, which I normally don't get to
do, but with the threat of a tsunami, how could I resist? And all I
can say is what a hoot! Camp isn't always my cup of tea,
unless it's done right, and PASSIONS had me howling at the screen,
yet wanting more. A shark swimming outside Tabitha's
window? Edna surfing out of town on the "You Are Now Leaving Harmony"
sign? Outrageous! No wonder this soap is a hit with
young viewers. If anyone ever tells you that all daytime dramas are
the same, please educate them.
Insider Info
Ever wonder what Digest editors talk about in the halls? Here's
what's on our minds this week.
Lori Latusek: I understand that characters talking to themselves out
loud is pretty much a soap staple, but I just don't get
it. If the actor is talented, can't he or she simply make a facial
expression or whatnot so viewers know what they are
thinking? Viewers don't need to be repeatedly fed every detail; we
get it. I just wish the shows realized that actions speak
louder than words. The fewer monologues the better.

Soap fans are a vocal bunch -- see what fellow viewers are saying
about their shows.
The news of Paul Anthony Stewart (Danny) and Nancy St. Alban's
(Michelle) firing hit me like a ton of bricks. I was on cloud
nine looking forward to Danny and Michelle's upcoming story, but par
for the course, GUIDING LIGHT slam dunked me --
again.... GL will never be the same without them and the characters
of Danny and Michelle. Their charismatic presence will be
missed and I wish them the very best in their future endeavors. I
know I will follow them wherever they surface
professionally in the future. I never understood why
Paul/Danny/Nancy/Michelle were continuously overlooked as others are
continuously showcased receiving front-burner stories. This has
always baffled me the most since they and their characters
have so much potential yet to be explored....

What I'm Watching
Reporting By Dorothy Walsh
At the top of my must-see TV list is GREY'S ANATOMY. This medical
dramedy combines elements of ER with less gore, but more
soapy romances and real heart. Set in Seattle, Dr. Meredith Grey
(played by the adorable Ellen Pompeo) struggles to live a
real life as a single woman, while dealing with her mother's
advancing Alzheimer's, her roommates and her job. Her fellow
first-year surgical interns include snarky Christina Yang, former
model Izzie Stevens, cute boy next door George O'Malley and
bad boy Alex Karev. Each week, the doctors connect with various
patients, learn to make sudden decisions and comfort
families, while maintaining a high level of competition. Outside of
work they blow off steam by throwing raucous parties and
engaging in illicit relationships. Meredith tries to stay away from
the persistent Dr. Shepherd (Patrick Dempsey, of Can't
Buy Me Love fame), while gorgeous Dr. Burke and Cristina's encounter
in a supply closet was beyond hot. While I usually avoid
medical shows, from the first moment when Meredith woke up after a
one night stand with Derek and the cliff-hanger where she
meets his wife (!), I was hooked.
Episodes air on Sunday nights, at 10 p.m. ET; reruns of season one
are currently airing.
In Person
Many versatile past and present soap stars also perform on stage.
Here, fans weigh in with their reviews.
I have always been a big GENERAL HOSPITAL fan and an even bigger
Frisco fan. About 20 years ago (Jeez that makes me feel
old.) when I heard Jack Wagner was going to be in West Side Story I
just had to go see him in Pennsylvania. And he had the
best performance ever! I am still a big fan, but my goodness back
then I was a crazy fan! I am a major Soap Opera Digest
reader and have been a subscriber for probably as long as I have been
a GH fan, 20 years. But now that I am older and am a
full-time working single mom Digest really keeps me up to date on all
my favorite soaps! Keep up the good work!

The wind, the sea...and a whole lot of drama between B&B's Bridget
and Nick (Ashley Jones and Jack Wagner). If you look just
closely enough, you can make out the frustration and hurt between
them — not to mention the ever-present aura of Bridget's

The Top 10 Plus
What Weekly editors are buzzing about...or not.
1. Thanks to a glossy poster, DAYS OF OUR LIVES' Chelsea got Max into
her bed...and above it!
2. Picture this: For extra protection, ALL MY CHILDREN's Julia Santos
welcomes her Springfield cousin Danny, whose wife,
Michelle, becomes Pine Valley's new doctor.
3. GENERAL HOSPITAL's Sonny told Nikolas that sis Courtney had
horrible taste in men. Wouldn't that include Sonny's best pal,
Jason?
4. Speaking of GH's Sonny, he also asked Nik a question you will
never hear a guy ask in real life: "How did you get in my
sister's pants?" Yuck!
5. Once GUIDING LIGHT's tangled Cassie/Dinah baby storyline wraps,
Edmund will have enough in-depth knowledge about female
fertility to open his own clinic.
6. And, speaking of fertility and surrogates, AMC's Greenlee should
consult GL's Dinah and compare notes on stealing sperm
and eggs.
7. ONE LIFE TO LIVE's Evangeline: You're a lawyer; you can afford
your own pint of ice cream and give one to Layla.
8 The telltale sign AS THE WORLD TURNS' Jennifer must be doing drugs?
Her normally straightened hair is curly (which is how
portrayer Jennifer Ferrin usually wears it!).
9. My, how the mighty have fallen: Several years ago PASSIONS'
Sheridan was living the high life in Paris, wining and dining
along the Left Bank with gal pal Princess Di. Today she's in the
Middle-of-Nowhere New England, running a tsunami-ravaged B&B
owned by an amnesiac mother who went MIA with her supposed first
husband.
10. Mothers across America were probably wondering how GH's baby
Cameron slept through the chaotic
Nik/Courtney/Liz/Lucky/Jax/Emily argument happening right outside his
door. Elizabeth could sell that secret to solve her
financial woes!

DAYS OF OUR LIVES fans are helping us re-stock our supply closet with
highlighters that were sent in to show how much some
love John and Kate together. "This week's campaign is highlighters
because Lauren Koslow (Kate) and Drake Hogestyn (John) are
the highlight of DAYS!" explains one reader.
Why We Clapped
For Applause, Applause, the "eyes" had it when it came to AMC's
Rebecca Budig. Poor Greenlee suffered the miscarriage of
baby, and it hit her — and viewers — hard. Just seeing the tears well
up in her fawnlike, oh-so-expressive eyes communicated
more naked vulnerability than pages of dialogue. Budig quickly took
Greens back to hopefulness when she determined to try
again — only to be devastated by more bad news. For communicating the
pain of wanting motherhood so badly, Budig earns the
hearty "ayes" of voters in the Weekly offices.
Listening Station
•On Aug. 18, DAYS' Mimi and Shawn blasted Bowling for Soup's ode to

The We in Weekly
From editorial assistant Mala Bhattacharjee: Oh, how the worm does
turn. A few weeks ago, Jax's cold comments to Courtney and
his busybodying with Liz had me rooting for Nikolas and Courtney to
kiss just to spite him, but now the cheaters' own
staggering arrogance takes precedence and has me wanting Jax to keep
knocking Nikolas into walls. Nik and Courtney playing
wounded, neglected victims to their spouses and hoping that the "we
didn't sleep together" excuse absolves them of guilt is
mind-boggling. Since when does not doing the actual deed erase
hot'n'heavy make-out sessions, intimate talks and rendezvous?
And if Nikolas and Courtney really want Jax and Emily back...why do
they keep falling all over each other at the Elm Street
Pier? Is there a loose brick or just some loose lips?
From associate editor Tonya Lensch: I was on vacation and just caught
up on some fabulous recent episodes of B&B. One small
observation — after seeing Nick and Brooke in an embrace, Bridget
wanted to get away. Sounds good. But then she goes to the
Forrester family cabin, which is where she shared her first kiss with
Nick?! Nothing like going back to the scene of the
crime.
From assistant managing editor Robert Schork: I love geography —
which is why I'm having a hard time figuring out exactly
where Allegra's island is supposed to be. Jason and Sam set sail from
Port Charles — a sleepy rivertown located in upstate
New York — and were apprehended by Allegra's henchmen only a few days
later. That means, AT BEST, Jason and Sam's yacht got
as far as the coast of Eastern Canada or New England. So we're
supposed to believe that some tropical island with Greco-Roman
statues, medieval architecture, an Irish priest, goons with varying
European accents, and a non-working fountain the size of
GH's nurses' station exists somewhere off the coast of Maine? Next
we'll be told that both a desert and an Arctic mountain
range exist within PC's city limits.
It's My Party
Hey, there, readers! This is Mala Bhattacharjee. Senior editor
Gabrielle Winkel and I had quite the full day on August 20. We
started out at the Marriott Marquis in Times Square for the official
ONE LIFE TO LIVE Fan Club Luncheon, where we admired the
snazzy N.Y. Yankees Hawaiian shirts that Robert S. Woods (Bo) and
Eddie Alderson (Matthew) were sporting. "I got this one
from Kamar (de los Reyes, Antonio)," confided Woods. "I gave him some
tickets and he brought me a present. I've got one like
that [points to Alderson's], too. That one, actually, [my son] Tanner
outgrew."
Speaking of sporting, that was Llanview newcomer Forbes March (Nash)
to the hilt when I accidentally stole his seat as he
went to grab berries from the buffet table. Dressed all in white like
his character, he warned fans not to count out Nash as
Antonio's rival for Jessica/Tess. "I've thought about it, carefully,
and I think I can take him."
Later on, we perched near one of the autograph tables to watch the
fan club awards and Q&A session and were just as surprised
as the fans when Michael Easton (John) appeared, with a confident
swagger that caused Gabrielle to lean over to me and
wonder, "Why doesn't he do that on the show?" Probably because it
would stop tape just like it did at the lunch.
After getting lost in the Times Square Toys 'R' Us, we made our way
to Catherine Hickland's charity event at Robert Emmett's
restaurant and pub, admiring the goodie bags full of Cat Cosmetics
(and copies of Weekly) that the fans received while the
fabulous Ms. Hickland entertained us with a little bit of stand-up
comedy. I had to bail out before her 8-Minute Makeover
tips so I could make it over to The LQ nightclub, where Nathaniel
Marston (Michael) was premiering his short film The Paw.
While I couldn't stay for the film, I was there long enough to admire
Ilene Kristen's (Roxy) inventive Victoria's Secret slip
dress, trade some jokes with newbie Josh Casaubon (Hugh), chat with
the charismatic Thom Christopher (Carlo) and my fellow
Ohioan Matthew Metzger (Duke), and to meet the man of the hour
himself on my way out the door. The exuberant Marston greeted
me, a perfect stranger, with a hug before continuing on to his fans.
Not a bad way to end the night, right? Except that my
last star sighting of the evening was the always-charming John-Paul
Lavoisier. Good night, Rex, and hello, Grand Central
Terminal!

Greetings From The Editor
Lynn Leahey
Dear Readers,
Our recent news story in Digest caused quite a stir. Titled "DAYS
Chat Causes Fan Fury," the item reported on a chat hosted
by DAYS stars Drake Hogestyn and Lauren Koslow on August 12th for
some fans who are rooting for John and Kate ("Jate") as a
couple. It was a lovely experience for the fans, and the actors
opened up about their own enthusiasm for the John/Kate
pairing. But before long the transcript of the chat was making the
rounds on the Internet (and was sent to us), and the
contents didn't sit well with fans of John/Marlena and Kate/Roman;
they got the impression from the transcript that Hogestyn
and Koslow were trying to push the story in a different direction.
The article was "very factual and informative without exploiting the
situation," wrote one fan who added, "I'm sure there
will be plenty of reader response." Well, that's putting it mildly,
and not everyone was as pleased with it. "Jate" fans felt
violated that the transcript had been leaked, and believed its
content was misinterpreted. "Lauren and Drake were incredibly
kind to make time to join us in this private chat, and to share their
enthusiasm for the Jate pairing with like-minded fans,"
wrote Julie H. "If the producers and directors of DAYS objected to
the lingering looks and stolen touches between Kate and
John, I doubt very much that we'd see as many close-up shots of
these 'ad-libs' as we do." Meanwhile, "J&M" and "Kaman" fans
were still outraged by some of what transpired during the chat,
feeling their loyalty had been betrayed.
So this big group of people who have something wonderful in common --
they all feel passionately about DAYS -- are feeling
let down, and in some cases, even angry. Right now, we're working on
a follow-up to the story, collecting facts from sources
on all sides. (Though I do have to point out to the fans who were
upset that the transcript was leaked that, as one Web-savvy
friend puts it, "The first rule of the Internet is that nothing is
truly private." You wouldn't dream of taking a
hand-written letter, making copies and sending it to other people,
but people take private e-mails and forward them all over
the place. That's hardly courteous, but it's the way of the world,
and the same thing can happen with "private" chats,
disappointing as that may be.)
So DAYS fans, thank you for sharing your opinions, and keep an eye
out for an updated report on Chatgate.
And finally, let's put any disagreement over soaps aside to say a
prayer for the thousands of people affected by Hurricane
Katrina. Watching the coverage of that disaster is more heart-
wrenching than anything on soaps, isn't it?
The Water Cooler
Reporting By Lori Latusek
The night Katrina approached New Orleans, I found myself wide awake
at 2:30 a.m. Naturally, I turned on my TV to see for
myself if the predictions of complete devastation were coming true.
As I flipped between networks, I saw correspondent after
correspondent risk their life just to show viewers exactly how windy
and rainy it was in towns that were about to be hit.
Today, scenes from the storm's fury, with rooftop rescues and
mourning victims, are, for me, unimaginable, heart-breaking and
eye-opening. Visions of tragedies like this -- in addition to
Columbine, 9/11 and this year's tsunami -- will never go away.
So, I challenge soap writers to give viewers more uplifting stories.
After all, isn't escape from reality what soap operas
are all about?
Insider Info
Ever wonder what Digest editors talk about in the halls? Here's
what's on our minds this week.
Naomi Rabinowitz: "I think Y&R is doing an excellent job of
portraying a teen romance with Daniel and Lily. They're soooo
into each other, to the point where it's a little exasperating, but
when you remember that they're just kids, it makes
sense."

I want to see more of Ric and Alexis with Kristina on GENERAL
HOSPITAL. They interact so well as a family. GH missed the
perfect opportunity to show the Lansing-Davis family out having
breakfast together by not having Kristina with them. I hope
we get to see more of this adorable family once the baby is born. I
know soaps can't be all about the happy couples/families
all the time, but GH needs to throw a few happy moments to the
audience every once in a while to balance out the negativity
of the rest of the show. And there's no one else whose happy moments
I'd rather see that Ric and Alexis's family.

What I'm Watching
Reporting By Dorothy Walsh
HBO has a knack for producing quality programs, and its back-to-back
lineup of ENTOURAGE and THE COMEBACK has become my
latest addiction. I'm loving these two shows which both take an
inside look at Hollywood.
ENTOURAGE has the feel of a male-oriented SEX & THE CITY set in Los
Angeles. Each week, viewers follow the adventures of Eric
(a.k.a. "E"), Vince, Turtle and Drama, four guys who've known each
other from their childhood in New York City and are now
trying to tackle Hollywood. Vince is on the cusp of becoming an A-
list celeb; E is his manager; Drama, Vince's brother, is
already a has-been, trying to make a comeback; Turtle has discovered
an interest for music management. Rounding out the group
is Vince's abrasive agent, Ari Gold, whom portrayer Jeremy Piven
imbues with just the right amount of smarm. As the guys work
and live together, they encounter plenty of dramatic situations,
ranging from Vince's obsession with Mandy Moore (Moore plays
a heightened version of "herself") to E learning to separate being
Vince's friend from being his manager. It's a fun show and
a different kind of "soap" since all of the leads are male.
Meanwhile, THE COMEBACK takes the female's point of view as needy 40-
something actress, Valerie Cherish, attempts to
resurrect her career. This show has an interesting format: in it,
Valerie is filming a reality show which is following her on
the set of her latest series, sitcom ROOM AND BORED (yes, that's
spelled correctly). So it is essentially a sitcom about a
reality show about a sitcom (got that?). Portrayer Lisa Kudrow,
however, has turned Valerie into a tragic figure, rather than
a funny one. In almost every episode, poor Val is debased in some
way, whether it's getting her part cut down on the show or
having the writers hate her. We also get glimpses into her home life
with husband "Marky-Mark," thanks to the reality show
which tapes at their home almost 24/7. Despite the "sitcom" label,
THE COMEBACK offers a very realistic look at Hollywood and
how it treats "old" actresses. You're not quite sure whether to root
for Valerie or cringe in horror for her, but either way,
you care about what happens to her.
ENTOURAGE airs Sunday nights at 10 p.m. on HBO, followed by THE
COMEBACK at 10:30 p.m. Both are also rerun several times
during the week.

What Weekly editors are buzzing about...or not.
1. If GENERAL HOSPITAL's uber-enforcer Jason is the "most loving man"
that Sam has ever met, she needs to meet a new man. So
it's a good thing Jason is turning into one!
2. GUIDING LIGHT's Buzz got Coop accepted into a creative-writing
course at Oxford. Apparently six Daytime Emmys carry mucho
clout in academia.
3. With everything GH's Brook Lynn is going through, it's a shame
neither of her parents are in town (or under contract) to
turn to.
4. On DAYS OF OUR LIVES, Sami's pre-wedding jitters haven't got her
thinking very clearly. How else to explain her sneaking
in to see Tony at the Salem PD, where her dad AND Uncle Bo work,
disguised only in a dark wig?
5. Kudos to ONE LIFE TO LIVE for remembering that Adriana is underage
— but unless she wants her brother's club shut down,
let's hope that the drink Rex (a bar manager himself) bought her was
a soda.
6. Since ALL MY CHILDREN's Ryan found him in that secret room, does
this mean Jonathan is "out of the closet"?
7. If that was GH's Reese and Sonny's "first date" Aug. 26, then
she's officially easy.
8. Many parents likely shared Phyllis' joy about THE YOUNG AND THE
RESTLESS' acquitted Daniel being free to attend college
and form a career. They also likely shivered when he proved free to
sleep with his girlfriend.
9. AS THE WORLD TURNS' Maddie is so good at interfering in big
brother Henry's love life, are we sure she isn't really
scheming Katie's sibling?
10. THE BOLD AND THE BEAUTIFUL's Thomas is married and designing for
Spectra, but still lives at home? Time to leave the
nest! (Especially when the parents aren't happy about either....)
11. It's September, which means we don't have to hear the same prime-
time promo lines ("Who are they? Why are they here?")
every day for much longer. By the way, haaave you met Ted?

DAYS' John and Kate fans are at it again. To show they are "counting
down the seconds until the next Jate scene" and because
there is "no time like the present to reunite John and Kate," they
are sending in candy (and some real!) watches to the
office. Which fan campaign will be featured in our next newsletter?
Keep sending your clever ideas and we'll see!
Why We Clapped
Ashley Jones proved that THE BOLD AND THE BEAUTIFUL's Bridget
inherited two traits from on-screen mom Brooke: An uncanny
ability to cry beautifully...and unerringly lousy taste in men.
Sadly, Bridget also seems to share the actual men! Jones
handled Bridget's meltdown gracefully...until it was time to cut
loose — and take out her frustrations on the menu! From
tears to screams, Jones owned Bridget's anger, betrayal and loss and,
in the process, staked her claim to the character, thus
earning Applause, Applause kudos for issue 37. History seemed to be
repeating itself for Bridget, so let's hope history also
repeats for her portrayer, meaning B&B has found another top-flight
actress.

Nightwatch
Senior writer/editor Joe Diliberto
Hail, Caesar! Hail, ROME! HBO's entry into the strangely crowded
ancient-Italian soap-opera field is just about everything
viewers could have expected from the premium channel known for its
quality dramas: instantly engrossing, entertaining and
enlightening, with doses of bawdiness, gore and some just plain
gratuitous nudity. ROME conquered the problem of having a
large cast played by little-known actors by keeping the storytelling
compartmentalized to keep the faces from blurring
together. Those two soldier guys (Vorenus and Pullo) did their thing
in Gaul, while the politicians (Cato, Cicero, Brutus, et
al) did theirs in the Senate. Polly Walker's Atia shows every sign of
developing into the most delicious villainess on TV —
equal parts seductive and sinister, and willing to use anyone
(including her own daughter) as a pawn. Ciaran Hinds lends the
weary nobility of a military commander too long in the field to his
Julius Caesar, which contrast with the put-on airs of
Kenneth !
Cranham's Pompey Magnus, Julius' lower-class rival for power. And, if
viewers are not careful, they may learn something about
real ancient Roman life (like the military techniques that won an
empire). Alas, Caesar, keep an eye on that Brutus guy — I'm
just saying. (Oops, spoiler alert!) Meanwhile, fans will keep
watching this great new show.

Here are your picks for who should compete in Dancing With a Soap
Star! We received votes for practically every soap and
"coupled up" the top vote-getters for some intriguing pairs. Now we'd
like you to tell us who would win Weekly's "pretend
prime-time" competition (and, if you'd like, why); e-mail your vote
for only one couple to Marc.Wilkofsky@... by
Sept. 16, and we'll announce the winners Sept. 23, the day after
DANCING WITH THE STARS' Kelly Monaco/John O'Hurley dance-off
winner is announced. Good luck to all the couples!
COUPLE #1: OLTL's Hillary B. Smith and Robert S. Woods (Nora and Bo)
"They are great dancers on the show. Wouldn't it be funny if they
were in the finale competing together?"
COUPLE #2: DAYS' Jason Cook (Shawn) and GH's Kirsten Storms (Maxie;
ex-Belle, DAYS)
"Their dance scenes together on DAYS were always amazing. The
charisma they held as a pair was unstoppable!"
COUPLE #3: ATWT's Trent Dawson (Henry) and Y&R's Michelle Stafford
(Phyllis)
"Like John O'Hurley, Trent would bring humor and grace to the
competition."
COUPLE #4: GH's Scott Clifton and Lindze Letherman (Dillon and
Georgie)
"Lindze is very bubbly and outgoing, and I would love to see her
dancing."
COUPLE #5: OLTL's Kamar de los Reyes (Antonio) and PASSIONS' Kathleen
Noone (ex-Edna)
"Kamar's sexy salsa dancing on OLTL says it all. He brought the
crowds to their feet with his dancing at Super Soap Weekend."
COUPLE #6: AMC's Rebecca Budig and Michael E. Knight (Greenlee and
Tad)
"They have sparkle, pizzazz and charm."
COUPLE #7: GH's Steve Burton (Jason) and DAYS' Martha Madison (Belle)
"Martha has a dance background; she could win the viewers over with
just a smile."
COUPLE #8: DAYS' Drake Hogestyn (John) and GL's Kim Zimmer (Reva)
"Drake is a fun-loving, funny guy; it would be a blast to see him
shining up the dance floor."
The We In Weekly
From West Coast editor Janet Di Lauro: GENERAL HOSPITAL has cast a
new foil for Maurice Benard (Sonny) — a rival mob boss for
"The Godfather" of Port Charles. Actor Robert LaSardo is tackling the
role of Manny Ruiz, which means GH viewers are in for a
major treat. LaSardo, who drove the first season of NIP/TUCK via his
consummate portrayal of tattooed mobster Escobar
Gallardo, is a master of villainy, evoking terror with ease and
understated style. Kudos to casting director Mark Teschner
for nailing down the prime-time and film star. If this doesn't win
Teschner a daytime casting Emmy, NOTHING will!

Soap Opera Digest Insider
SEPTEMBER 8, 2005
Greetings From The Editor
Lynn Leahey
Dear Readers,
We had to do a last-minute redesign on the Digest cover you should be
getting any day now, to share the news that Jennifer
Bransford's days as GH's Carly are numbered. The actress's co-stars
loved her, as did the GH crew, but many fans just weren't
taking to her. I wasn't crazy about her at first either, but lately
she's really been growing on me. Unfortunately, GH didn't
have the luxury of crossing its fingers and hoping the audience would
come around. They had to take action, and they did. So
we'll be welcoming Kimberly McCullough back as Robin soon, and seeing
another incarnation of Carly, too. In with the old, out
with the new!
The Water Cooler
Reporting By Jennifer Lenhart
Trent Dawson (Henry, ATWT) reported in on Tuesday about his efforts
for hurricane relief in his home state of Louisiana.
Dawson is from Baton Rouge and has cousins in New Orleans who luckily
got out before the storm, but have been mostly
unreachable since. "I heard they were in a Red Cross food line at one
point," he sighs. "I was thinking about going down, and
then I heard that [football stars] Peyton and Eli Manning brought a
whole airplane load of relief supplies and they only got
within 90 miles of the city." Instead, he's finding ways to help from
New York. For those wondering what they should do to
help, Dawson suggests, "Send money or supplies or donate anything you
can. Volunteering for the Red Cross is a great thing to
do if you have the time. Go to their Web site, redcross.org or call 1-
800-HELP NOW. There are 20 states now offering housing,
so if there's any way to participate in that, on a local level, that
would be helpful. One thing my aunt was saying was bug
spray. Baton Rouge is the West Nile haven, so you've got the
potential for some massive disease spread. I'm hoping that FEMA
is on top of that. It's one of my favorite cities. I don't know what
they're going to do. I've been trying to avoid the blame
game, because there's a lot of blame to go around. Let's just get
everybody out of the water right now."
Type Set
Soap fans are a vocal bunch -- see what fellow viewers are saying
about their shows.
I just wanted to take a few minutes to say [how] thankful I am that
ABC and GENERAL HOSPITAL listened to many of their fans
and decided to bring Kimberly McCullough (Robin) back. Ms. McCullough
is a talented actress and I look forward to seeing her
on the show once again. I am so excited to see the storylines
involving one of my favorite characters Robin Scorpio. I am
also looking forward to seeing her interact with her family and
friends once again, but I am curious to see if Jason and
Robin ... will rekindle their romance again. As a long-time fan, it
is nice to see that this show does listen and respect the
majority of their viewers. I know that I will go back to tuning in
each day once Kimberly is back on the canvas.
T.N., San Diego, CA
The Maureen/Michelle scenes on GUIDING LIGHT's 9/7 episode were
moving and beautiful. Ellen Parker (Maureen) and Nancy St.
Alban (Michelle) were incredible and are perfect as mother and
daughter. Such loving and hopeful scenes! It gave me chills to
watch Michelle flatlining, and Danny standing there scared to death
watching the monitor as she was shocked. The final scene
of Danny telling Michelle the baby didn't make it had to be one of
the saddest scenes I've ever watched on GL.

In Person
Many versatile past and present soap stars also perform on stage.
Here, fans weigh in with their reviews.
I was given the wonderful opportunity of seeing Linda Dano [ex-Rae,
OLTL et al; ex-Felicia, AW] and Anna Stuart [Mary, AMC;
ex-Donna, AW et al] in Mame. I went to the show twice.They both did
an excellent job.... It was a real treat to meet them
after the show. They are both so personable and nice to all of their
fans. After the second time I saw the show, I went out
to talk to Linda and it just so happened that David Forsyth [ex-John,
AW et al] had also been there watching the
performance. He was really nice and agreed to sign an autograph and
pose in a picture for me with Linda and Anna. He was
really a good sport. I would just like to say thank you to all three
for making a memory for me that I will not soon forget.

Ka-POW! When Ashley Abbott (Eileen Davidson) found out Terrible Tom
(Roscoe Born) had been playing her for a fool, she
tracked him down and almost snapped his neck with this righteous
smack across the face. Who knew the always-ladylike Ashley
had it in her? Maybe she's been taking lessons from the L.A. women on
her sister show. Check out our theory in our Top 10

The Top 10 Plus
What Weekly editors are buzzing about...or not.
1. GUIDING LIGHT's Sandy wasn't kidding when he told Tammy his story
was not exciting. Zzzzzz.
2. In the more exciting department, when GL's Michelle told
Danny/Edmund, "We're having a baby," she really meant...we're
having a baby!
3. GENERAL HOSPITAL's Sonny flew to Florida, but how did Ric, Carly
and Reese get there so quickly? The STAR TREK
transporter?
4. Considering the shaky track record of THE BOLD AND THE BEAUTIFUL's
Taylor, why is she so ticked at seeing Thomas in stable
relationship?
5. AS THE WORLD TURNS' Luke told Keith he wasn't a child — so why the
book-throwing temper tantrum?
6. First there was rapist Connor Bishop and now killer Ali
Montenegro — doesn't GH have any nice mysterious doppelgängers?
7. On PASSIONS, it's a toss-up over what's more disturbing: Gwen
listening to Alistair rape Theresa, or Theresa begging Ethan
to have sex with her right afterward.
8. We're with ALL MY CHILDREN's Danielle: Garret is creepy.
9. We can't help but wonder if GL's Jerry verDorn's (Ross) new
mustache is tied in to his testing for the role of ONE LIFE TO
LIVE's Clint.
10. DAYS OF OUR LIVES' Kate is so desperate for allies she's turning
to her ex-husband, Victor.
11. It's amazing GH's Reese is still so willing to help Carly,
considering how many times the crazy loon has tried to kill
her.
12. ATWT's Carly keeps blasting Gwen for not knowing who the father
of her baby is. She must have forgotten about Parker's
paternity mishap with John/Hal, and the confusion over whether Jack
or Mike was Sage's true daddy.
13. Y&R's Ashley hit Terrible Tom so hard, she must have gotten a
lesson from B&B's Stephanie.

Assistant managing editor Robert Schork
By now we're used to getting inventive stuff from passionate fans
desperate to plead the cases of their favorite couples and
storylines. But it's not very often that a show will get creative in
its mailings to us. So I was intrigued as I received
handwritten envelopes marked "Confidential" every week, each of them
containing another piece to a jigsaw puzzle. We just
received the fourth and final piece today, and were amused to see it
was a clever promotion from CBS for its upcoming
prime-time supernatural thriller, THRESHOLD. I had the opportunity to
screen the pilot for THRESHOLD, so I can tell you that
this is one of those rare instances where a show really does live up
to its hype. If you liked the Alien(s) movies, you'll
love this suspenseful new sci-fi drama.
Why We Clapped
AS THE WORLD TURNS' Jennifer was a hit when she mixed hits of crystal
meth with prescription antidepressants, earning her
Applause, Applause for issue 38. Coming on the heels of Jennifer
losing her baby, this story has been a boon for Jennifer
Ferrin. Jen was seriously messed up by her tragedy, and her friend
Jasmine's "help" came at exactly the wrong time. As trippy
Jen babbled, Ferrin's dialogue rolled trippingly off her tongue —
without tripping up the actress. The words tumbled from her
mouth in stream-of-consciousness rants about designing clothes and
feeling good, which showed her brain working overtime
(just not productively). Ferrin added flailing arm motions and a
nervous pacing that showed Jen in turmoil. Best of all,
Ferrin didn't go over the top into a raving lunatic. She tried to
show Jen pretending (in her mind) to be straight, which was
a delicate personality state to pull off. The curly/frizzy hair also
contributed to her excited state. What can we say?
Ferrin'!
s carefully calibrated performance was intoxicating.
Listening Station
•Y&R's Daniel and Lily said their tearful farewells on Sept. 2 while
Michael Kisur's "Sunshine" played.
•GH's Courtney and Nikolas made love on Sept. 7 to Chico
DeBarge's "Love Jones."
•DAYS' Brady and Chloe danced to Edwin McCain's "I'll Be" on Sept.

Nightwatch
Senior writer/editor Joe Diliberto
TV fans, rejoice! The new fall season has begun! How terrific was
Thursday night's series premiere of Fox's REUNION? Gripping
and engrossing soap opera, right from the very start; and talk about
ending with a bang! Whatever you do, don't miss the
Sept. 16 premiere of CBS' THRESHOLD, easily the best of the new sci-
fi/mystery serials launched in the wake of LOST. (Just in
case you're interested, the worst is ABC's own INVASION.) THRESHOLD
is reminiscent of the movie Sphere, dealing as it does
with a suspected alien spaceship, but it takes an intriguing plot
turn and its eclectic cast sells the far-out high concept.
Bowing Sept. 13 is Fox's BONES, starring ANGEL's David Boreanaz and
Zooey Deschanel's big sister Emily. The premiere sets up
an intriguing premise — he's an FBI agent and people person; she's an
expert in...well, human bones. While it needs a little
polishing, the series has great potential thanks to the chemistry of
its leads. Also that night, try to juggle The WB's !
GILMORE GIRLS with the genuinely scary SUPERNATURAL. Oh, and who will
conquer CBS' SURVIVOR: GUATEMALA Sept. 15? Whoever it
is, fans will be the winners.
Copy editor Marc Wilkofsky
We're still accepting votes for which daytime couple should win
Dancing With a Soap Star...and it's a close race! Thanks to
everyone who has voted so far. We'd like you to tell us who would win
Weekly's "pretend prime-time" competition (and, if
you'd like, why); e-mail your vote for only one couple to
Marc.Wilkofsky@... by Sept. 16, and we'll announce the
winners Sept. 23, the day after DANCING WITH THE STARS' Kelly
Monaco/John O'Hurley dance-off winner is announced. Good luck
to all the couples, and remember, every vote counts!
COUPLE #1: OLTL's Hillary B. Smith and Robert S. Woods (Nora and Bo)
"They are great dancers on the show. Wouldn't it be funny if they
were in the finale competing together?"
COUPLE #2: DAYS' Jason Cook (Shawn) and GH's Kirsten Storms (Maxie;
ex-Belle, DAYS)
"Their dance scenes together on DAYS were always amazing. The
charisma they held as a pair was unstoppable!"
COUPLE #3: ATWT's Trent Dawson (Henry) and Y&R's Michelle Stafford
(Phyllis)
"Like John O'Hurley, Trent would bring humor and grace to the
competition."
COUPLE #4: GH's Scott Clifton and Lindze Letherman (Dillon and
Georgie)
"Lindze is very bubbly and outgoing, and I would love to see her
dancing."
COUPLE #5: OLTL's Kamar de los Reyes (Antonio) and PASSIONS' Kathleen
Noone (ex-Edna)
"Kamar's sexy salsa dancing on OLTL says it all. He brought the
crowds to their feet with his dancing at Super Soap Weekend."
COUPLE #6: AMC's Rebecca Budig and Michael E. Knight (Greenlee and
Tad)
"They have sparkle, pizzazz and charm."
COUPLE #7: GH's Steve Burton (Jason) and DAYS' Martha Madison (Belle)
"Martha has a dance background; she could win the viewers over with
just a smile."
COUPLE #8: DAYS' Drake Hogestyn (John) and GL's Kim Zimmer (Reva)
"Drake is a fun-loving, funny guy; it would be a blast to see him
shining up the dance floor."
The We in Weekly
From editorial assistant Mala Bhattacharjee: Front-burner new
characters are often a tough sell on soaps, and while some
click with viewers quickly — like GL's Jonathan or OLTL's Spencer —
more often than not, a gentler, edge-of-canvas
introduction is warranted. This is the case with OLTL's abrasive
Layla, who, upon her arrival in Llanview, has inserted
herself into both Evangeline and Antonio's lives. While, yes, Vange
is her sister, Layla knows nothing about John or Natalie
and her comments about them don't come off as sisterly concern.
They're nosy and obnoxious. Ditto for Layla's cold judgments
on Antonio and Jessica's relationship. And who inserts herself in a
man's child custody issue after knowing him for five
seconds? Assistant DA Hugh Hughes, who is rarely seen but spends
those precious minutes being kind, gallant and witty, is a
character being eased in to the canvas much more effectively. Can't
OLTL balance that a little better?

A wedding makes everyone happy, especially the bride.
From SOW:
Bridget and Nick wed
The fourth time is the charm for Bridget and Nick this week on B&B.
"It's a beautiful wedding on the boat," sets up Ashley Jones. "They
have their parents there- Brooke, Eric, Jackie and
Masssimo- a flute player and a minister. Nick completely touches
Bridget's heart."
Of course, Bridget has no clue that her groom is really hot for her
mother. In fact, before the ceremony, Nick tracks down
Brooke and asks her not to come to the wedding, because he may not be
able to go through with it if she's there.
Brooke shows up anyway, but despite her presence, the wedding goes
off without a hitch. "It's a happy occasion, with the
complication of this sacrifice that Brooke and Nick have made," notes
Bell. "It's like the genie was let out of the bottle
the night on the boat and they're trying to stuff it back in. Nick
will be looking at Bridget, professing his love and
committment to her for the rest of his life, but we're left to wonder
if he's professing is love to Bridget or to Brooke.
He's doing it more for her than Bridget." In Bridget's defense, "she
loves this man, and everyone around her is telling her
that now it's okay, so she's taking it at face value," muses
Jones. "Bridget is not living in a fool's paradise. She picks
stuff up, but she's choosing to believe in him. It's going to be even
more devastating if - when- the rug is pulled out from
under her." For now, the rug is being pulled out from under
brooke. "the Nick/Brooke fans will have a hint that Brooke is
dying inside-she wears solid black!" guffaws Jones.
"The beauty of the story on some psychotic but real level, is that
each side can be justified. All three players are victims
of love, circumstance and timing."
But will Bridget see it that way if her new hubby and mom can't keep
things bottled up?

ATWT'S JENNIFER IS COMMITTED
Jennifer's suffering finally gets to Paul this week on ATWT, when he
finds his sister holding the baby that she (rightly)
believes is her presumed-dead son, and is then hospitalized because
of her grief. "The drugs have made her so intense and
obsessive, but she firmly believes this is her child. It began when
she saw him in the neo-natal unit, to when she heard the
baby cry at the christening," says Jennifer Ferrin. "There's
something deep inside her that knows. And when she finally does
look at the baby that they're calling Rory, it's without a doubt."
But just when Paul is about to confirm her suspicions, it is revealed
that Jen has been on crystal meth. It's just the excuse
he needs to continue to keep mum. Meanwhile, Jen sneaks out of the
hospital to the Snyder house to snag her son. "It's bliss.
She sees the baby and it's like, 'This makes sense'. But if she
wasn't on drugs, she probabably would not have taken the
baby." When she's caught, Paul tricks Jennifer into handing the
infant back, then agrees to have her committed. "She
definitely feels betrayed," says the actress.
Enter Dusty. "When he comes to see her in the hospital, she's looking
for that person who's going to be by her side,
believing her and helping her," notes Ferrin. By the end of the week,
he'll remember an important detail

NY Daily News 9/16, Laura Wright on leaving GL
http://www.nydailynews.com/entertainment/e...9p-295930c.html
By CAROLYN HINSEY
In a stunning one-two punch, Laura Wright has quit "Guiding Light"
(where she played Cassie for eight years) to jump ship to
"General Hospital" and assume the coveted role of Carly Corinthos.
"Honestly, I did it for the opportunity," says Wright. "I love what I
do, but I don't know if I was doing the character of
Cassie justice anymore. When you start to feel like you want to be
challenged in other areas, the light starts to dim a
little."
No pun intended.
Wright initially turned down "GH's" offer out of loyalty to "GL" and
fear of uprooting her family from New York to Los
Angeles, where "GH" tapes. But after careful consideration, she
changed her mind, telling "GL" she was leaving at the 11th
hour and forcing them to do an emergency recast.
"I asked them to tell me [who's up for Cassie] and they laughed at
me," she says. "I would be good at it: 'Oh, she'd be
perfect. She wouldn't be.' I do that whenever they screen-test
people. I say, 'Do you want to know who I think?' They're
like, 'Go away, Laura.'"
Wright has only positive things to say about the people at "GL."
"This was the hardest decision I've ever had to make," she says. "I
adore everyone at 'GL.' It's bittersweet because I love
my cast, but I've got to go. Kim Zimmer [Reva] said to me, 'We've all
left! We've all done it!' I just feel so attached."
Now, Wright must become attached to a new character, one who has been
played by three actresses. The most recent, Jennifer
Bransford, was just let go.
"I've got big shoes to fill," Wright says. "Sarah Brown was awesome.
I loved watching her play the role. Tamara Braun brought
amazing emotion and sensitivity to the role. I think she really did a
great job. She was a little tougher than Sarah, but
soft, too. I'm hoping to be somewhere down the middle."
Wright starts taping in mid-October and should start airing in mid-
November.
"I really am so thrilled to play this character," she says. "I said
to the writers, 'I could never have handled this role
eight years ago, personally, emotionally or professionally.' I was
27. Now, I feel somewhat confident that I have the
ability. Just give me the opportunity and I'll show you.
"Kelly Ripa and I used to always say, 'Just give us the part and
we'll blow your mind,'" the actress says, referring to the
early '90s, when she played Ally on "Loving" and "The City," across
the hall from her pal Ripa, who was Hayley on "All My
Children."
"But if you make us audition," she recalls with a laugh, "we may
suck."

SEPTEMBER 15, 2005
Greetings From The Editor
Lynn Leahey
Dear Readers,
As you do whatever you can to help the people in the devastated Gulf-
area states, you should know many soap stars are
pitching in, too. Right after Hurricane Katrina, ATWT stars contacted
Carolyn Hinsey, who organizes benefits at her favorite
New York City sports bar, Blondies, and asked if she'd help them pull
together a benefit for victims of the storm. Baton
Rouge native Trent Dawson (Henry, ATWT) will be on hand, along with
stars from all four New York soaps. The date is Tuesday,
September 27 -- check soapoperadigest.com for details.The issue on
its way to you describes other ways the daytime community
is swinging into action, from donating wardrobe items to loading food
supplies. Whether the contribution is in the form of
prayer or from the pocketbook, those doing what they can for the
relief effort are in good company.
The Water Cooler
Reporting By Devin Owens
Don't you just wanna wring Terrible Tom's neck on Y&R? I certainly
do. And that's the beauty of Roscoe Born's portrayal of
Genoa City's most loathsome slease because I've had a few encounters
with the actor during set visits and the guy couldn't be
any nicer. Born is very cordial, considerate and I have yet to see
any dollar signs in his eyes whenever he smiles. He may
play someone who reveled in beating up his soap son, Kevin -- and
still takes devilish delight in emotionally tormenting him
-- but Born lights up with absolute pride and love whenever he talks
about his 8-year-old daughter, Alberta. Believe me, when
I watch Tom skulk about on screen, I have a tough time reconciling
him with the congenial Roscoe Born. It just goes to show
you what a great job he's doing.
Type Set
Soap fans are a vocal bunch -- see what fellow viewers are saying
about their shows.
While I understand the reasoning behind the decision of the execs at
DAYS OF OUR LIVES to let Kyle Lowder (Brady) go, I have
to say that his exit makes me very sad. I have fallen in love with
the character of Brady and the actor who portrays him and
I hope he'll never be played by anyone else. I hope that Executive
Producer Ken Corday meant it when he said to Kyle that it
wasn't good-bye and that he was not being fired. I hope that after a
long honeymoon for Brady and Chloe that DAYS will bring
Kyle back. As for Nadia Bjorlin (Chloe), when the Wesley's moved out
of Salem a while back, the town lost a lot of its
spark.... I would love her to be back as well so we can see what lies
ahead in the future of Brady and Chloe. These two
characters have made watching DAYS so much more enjoyable, and I hope
that future DAYS lie ahead of them. The show won't be
the same without them.

What I'm Watching
Reporting by Dorothy Walsh
I'll be honest: since I started working at Digest, my fall TV
schedule has quadrupled. I never watched this much TV in my
life, but in a office that shares a love of quality programming, its
hard to ignore breakout hits like LOST and VERONICA
MARS. So when a friend recommended Fox's new soap, REUNION, I
couldn't resist tuning in and I'm so glad I did. The new drama
has an intriguing premise: six high schoolers are the closest of
friends in 1986, but secrets and lies threaten to unravel
their group, until 2006, when one of their number (who hasn't been
revealed) has been murdered by another one. Each episode
highlights one year between high school graduation and the funeral,
where a detective is investigating the group one by one.
This means the cast has to be physically aged as twenty years pass,
no mean feat given the youthful actors. In the very first
episode, Samantha (Alexa Davalos) is pregnant with Will's (Will
Estes) child, but she is dating Craig (Sean Faris) who lets
Will take the blame for vehicular homicide, though he was the one
driving. Got that so far? And that's only one small strand
in the web this show is spinning. Thus far, the writing and acting
hasn't been brilliant, but the concept of the show is so
engrossing, its hard not to watch.
REUNION airs at 9 p.m. on Fox, following THE O.C.
In Person
Rave fan reviews continue to come in for Linda Dano (ex-Rae, OLTL, ex-
Felicia, AW et al) and Anna Stuart (Mary, AMC;
ex-Donna, AW et al) in Mame. Here are two more.
Last fall when Linda announced she was going to do Mame at the Bucks
County Playhouse, I was very excited for her. Without a
doubt, I knew I wanted to be there to support Linda and see her
spread her wings in this new venture. It was everything I
thought it would be.
Linda never looked more beautiful and her usual warmth and charm
spread throughout the entire show. The role of the
kind-hearted, live-life-to-the-fullest Mame was perfect for Linda.
Like her extraordinary character, Felicia on ANOTHER
WORLD, Linda was born to do this part on stage. I loved the sweet
rapport between Mame and young Patrick. I'm also glad that
Linda's very good friend Anna Stuart joined the cast as Vera Charles
to help support her. "Bosom Buddies" was hysterical.
What a hoot these two ladies were together!.... I went all the way to
New Hope, PA just to see Linda Dano as Mame. I laughed.
I cried. I had a wonderful, wonderful time. I wouldn't have missed
this experience for the world.
J.F., Dallas, Texas
I too saw Linda Dano and Anna Stuart in Mame. I can't begin to tell
you how much I enjoyed seeing them in person! They were
absolutely wonderful — Linda was hilarious in the foxhunt scene, and
Anna surprised me with her singing ( She was very
good!).
And I didn't mind at all that Linda doesn't sing or dance — just
seeing these two gals up close and personal was enough to
keep me grinning from ear to ear. Both ladies were most gracious
signing autographs and speaking with the throngs of fans who
waited for them at the end of the show. I was able to get many
pictures and enjoyed a short chat with Anna Stuart. I've seen
many Broadway shows, but nothing gave me more joy than the
opportunity to see Linda and Anna in the intimacy of the Bucks
County Playhouse; I so hope they will grace its stage again. I will
be there in the first row screaming BRAVO!

THE TOP 10 PLUS
What Weekly editors are buzzing about...or not.
1. Talk about a long commute: AS THE WORLD TURNS' Keith makes regular
flights between Mexico and Oakdale, Ill.
2. Was there a reason ALL MY CHILDREN's Zach was munching on cereal
while talking to Kendall on Sept. 8? (Other than
reminding us it's lunchtime?)
3. Similarly, was there a point to GENERAL HOSPITAL's Maxie telling
Dillon to turn around while she changed into a sheer
white top that didn't conceal her bra anyway?
4. GH's Sonny figured having Ric, Reese and Sam — three people she
hates — babysit Carly was better than the nuthouse? What's
next, a playdate with Robin?
5. GUIDING LIGHT's Maureen told Michelle her baby isn't in heaven
with her. Here's hoping no one at P&G asks a focus group
about Hope.
6. ONE LIFE TO LIVE's Blair about Mad Margaret: "I want this to be
over." We're with you.
7. ATWT's Dusty scolded Jennifer, "Nobody told you to do crystal
meth." Sorry, Dusty, but Jasmine did exactly that. Weren't
you watching?
8. It was nice of GL's Olivia to buy new employee Ava some work
clothes. But after seeing some of the outfits, we have to
ask: Is she working on the street corner next to PASSIONS' Jessica?
9. DAYS OF OUR LIVES' Belle went from barely there to almost-due
overnight — but at least she's not expanding and shrinking
every two episodes like GH's Alexis. Talk about a pregnant pause!
10. THE BOLD AND THE BEAUTIFUL's Taylor and Ridge don't want Thomas
with Gaby. Suddenly, Amber's looking pretty good.
11. Memo to GL's Gus and Harley: That's not what people mean when
they say "get down to business" in the boardroom.
12. Who gives an infant a bath in the morning? ATWT's Rory has a full
day of spitting up, spilling stuff and rolling around
on the floor ahead of him. And Carly thinks she's Supermom....
13. With the way Eve's trial erupted into chaos on PASSIONS, it's
clear that no soap judge can EVER control his or her
courtroom. Judge Judy needs to do some soap cameos and lay down the
law.

Slim Shady
Fans of www.LevenRambin.com are sending in sunglasses to show their
support of ALL MY CHILDREN's Lily and the actress who
portrays her. "Since her arrival, Lily has become the heart of Pine
Valley, trying so hard to fit in with those around her,
find a 'boyfriend' and establish a routine in her life. And with Lily
has come Leven Rambin, an amazing actress and addition
to AMC!" raved one.
WHY WE CLAPPED
Nice guys don't always finish last. Just ask GUIDING LIGHT's Robert
Newman, who took top honors in issue 39's Applause,
Applause. Newman's Josh has always been the quintessential soap good
guy, steadfastly serving as anchor for his mercurial
wife Reva, but it appears that Josh may have finally reached the
limits of his patience. (Having your wife complain that
you're not enough for her anymore will do that.) Despite confessing
his vulnerability to Billy, Josh never looked like a wimp
— Newman showed the strength of character needed to open up. The
stiff spine that supported his marriage through all Reva's
flighty adventures (She's Amish! She's a clone! She's a time-
traveler!) was finally bowed, but something in Newman's eyes
tells us her latest betrayal won't be the straw that breaks this
camel's back.
LISTENING STATION
•AMC's Greenlee belted out Paul Anka's "Having My Baby" as a karaoke
ode to her best friend and surrogate, Kendall, on Sept.
9.

Move" on Sept. 13.
•DAYS' Jen and Frankie and Roman and Sami danced to Edwin McCain's "I
Could Not Ask for More" at Brady and Chloe's reception
on Sept. 13. Jack and Abby danced to Steve Kirwan's "My Little Girl"
on Sept. 15.
•GH's Sam and Jason revisited the death of Sam's baby daughter while
Sarah McLachlan's "Angel" played in the background on
Sept. 14.
NIGHTWATCH
Senior Writer/Editor Joe Diliberto
Careful viewers may notice some familiar faces among the new crop of
fall premieres. Keep your eyes peeled for Wentworth
Miller and Harry J. Lennix — each are in two premieres. The buzz-cut
Miller already became the fall's first potential
"breakout" star when Fox's jailhouse drama PRISON BREAK debuted Aug.
29. Miller plays Michael Scofield, the fellow with the
tattoo who got himself arrested to bust his brother out of death row.
Miller also plays a key role in the Sept. 23 debut of
Jennifer Love Hewitt's supernatural tearjerker, GHOST WHISPERER, as
Sgt. Paul Adams, the restless spirit of a soldier.
Meanwhile, Lennix plays Jim Gardner, the president's chief of staff,
when ABC's COMMANDER IN CHIEF takes office Sept. 27. He
also has a smaller role (and less political power) as the assistant
secretary of defense in NBC's E-RING Sept. 21. And, while
it's not quite the same thing, Alfre Woodard is Betty Applewhite, the
new face on DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES' Wisteria Lane, so she
had to l!
eave a role in NBC's INCONCEIVABLE — but she can still be seen as
Lydia in the Sept. 23 premiere.
THE WE IN WEEKLY
Copy Editor Marc Wilkofsky: GUIDING LIGHT's baby-switch story is
certain to bring together scores of characters who will
battle more than bond: Cassie and Edmund, Danny and Michelle, Reva
and Josh, Rick and Mel. If a custody conflict ensues, it
would be a delight to see Dinah's mom, Vanessa, get involved. She was
very much a part of this roller coaster's precursor:
attic-bound Bridget hiding her pregnancy from her family so that
Nadine could give Billy a baby. In that 1992-'93 plotline,
Nadine was endearingly conniving; here, Edmund is completely
menacing. GL has shot him back into his original
manipulator/kidnapper/captor mode, one David Andrew Macdonald
effectively portrays. Edmund is a villain; the only element
that's lacking now is a credible motive (He really believes
Michelle's baby, Hope, will reunite him and Cassie?). This plot
also allows Marina to prove her cop chops (which will likely be a bit
tougher than the written exam) and gave us two visits
from focus-group-vi!
ctim Maureen. As hearts, lives and families tear apart, I'm ready for
each town-wrecking turn.
Assistant Managing Editor Robert Schork: While we can forgive soaps
for not always portraying a trial or a heart transplant
in a legally or medically accurate way, I have less forgiveness in my
heart whenever soaps try to tackle the teen scene or
the college crowd. I have yet to see high school or college life
portrayed even remotely close to anything based in reality.
GENERAL HOSPITAL's latest bumper crop of freshmen attending PCU is no
exception. From their student union and their dorms to
what they talk and care about, it all rings hollow and false — which
does nothing but constantly distract me and pull me out
of the scene. Ironically, the most believable college student is
Jesse, and he's an undercover cop pretending to be a college
student!
IT'S MY PARTY
And your party, too! Join stars from AMC, ATWT, OLTL and GL (and some
Weekly and Digest staffers) at a celebrity bartending
event at Blondies (212 W. 79th St. in NYC) Sept. 27 from 7-10 p.m.
Tickets are $25 at the door and proceeds benefit the New

Nick.
Guiding Light
Billy Lewis is the unfortunate victim of Olivia's new scheme to
elevate Bill's status at Lewis Oil. When Tammy and Jonathan
succumb to their carnal desires, Sandy pays a shocking price.
(Literally!) In the middle of Hope's christening, Jeffrey tells
Cassie the awful truth about the baby's origins. Together they seek
proof that Michelle is Hope's real birth mother. Dinah
desperately plots her escape from captivity in the fake farmhouse.
This aggravates the evil Edmund, who is already busy
enough scrambling to counter Jeffrey's revelation with more tricky
deception.
The Young and the Restless
A business trip brings Brad and Sharon closer. Jealous tension flares
up between Sharon and Victoria. Nick gets a whiff of
Brad's troublemaking and starts questioning his sister's decisions as
CEO of Newman Enterprises. Scotty's benevolent gift for
Lauren becomes an instrument of malevolence in Sheila's hateful
hands. Jill worries for baby Joshua's safety as Brittany gets
ready to enter witness protection. Ashley and Michael embark on their
risky plan to thwart Tom.
REUNION FOR AMC'S NOAH AND JULIA?
For a dead character, All My Children's Noah Keefer sure spends a lot
of time on the front burner. Ever since Sydney Penny
returned as Noah's "widow," Julia, she has bitched and moaned about
his off-screen mob murder, vowing vengeance and
conveniently setting up nostalgic old clips from Keith Hamilton
Cobb's 1994-96 stint as Noah. So is Cobb coming back?
Well, the popular soap brooder, who was let go by The Young and the
Restless earlier this year, is out of work. Sources close
to the situation say Cobb has been approached by AMC, but no actual
deal has been struck. As for Cobb's camp, his rep coyly
states: "I can neither confirm nor deny anything."
"Right now, our story is about Julia, and she believes Noah is dead,"
AMC head writer Megan McTavish recently told
TVGuide.com. "You can argue that down the road, who knows? People
tend not to stay dead on soap operas. I don't know why that
is!"
All this means that fans should keep their hopes for a Julia-Noah
reunion alive. Because he just might be, after all….

This is the lady my mom watches and she usually has more info
onscreen than is offered here... plus she's a hoot to watch.
But this tidbit surprised me. Has anyone heard that Sandy is getting
killed off?
---------------------------------------------------------
5 ways to fix the light
So many posts about the "dying" light.
1. Bring back the Spauldings. Get Phillip back and Alan-Michael.
Pairing the sons with Alan, mixing in Alexandra is
guaranteed to be exciting
2. Bring back the Bauers. Get Ed Bauer back, keep Michelle, and put
Rick on a regular contract. The Bauers are one of the
first families of Springfield and should be brought back to life.
3. Get a good storyline for Buzz Cooper. This character has so many
great dynamics and the actor is terrfic. Give this guy a
storyline and watch the intrigue.
4. Bring back Marah, Shayne, & Dylan. Jonathan is established now, he
needs to start to interact with his siblings. Josh/Reva
SL now is ridiculous. Kim Zimmer's "wild times" were great in the
80s, but come on. It is time for that character to just
accept being a mother and deal with her family. Ditto to Josh's
character.
5. Quit the Tammy/Jonathan SL. No one wants to see incest. Bottom
line.

After all the turmoil involved in having baby Hope, Cassie doesn't
want to believe what Jeffrey tells her. When she finds
out Hope isn't her baby, Cassie seems to go about life as usual,
including the christening. Will she be able to accept the

quickly, as Michelle and Robbie get ready to leave
Springfield. Will Michelle find out her baby is alive before she
leaves town? And what about Danny? When will they find
their way back to each other? While all the baby drama is unfolding,
Sandy finds himself electrocuted. How exactly does
this happen? Will he survive? Does his unfortunate accident force
Tammy to make some decisions about her love life? With
Olivia in career crisis, she turns to Bill for help on a new business

Is The Light Dying?
She says for the first time she is facing the fact the show may be
cancelled. "Can you cut out a show's heart & expect it to
stay alive"? The cost cutting effort by P&G bring to mind epigrams,
[1] Penny-wise & pound foolish, & [2] Throwing out the
baby with the bath water. Suggests bring back Phillip & other vets &
advertise more. Reverse the mind numbing decision to
fire Stewart & St Alban, whose Danny & michelle are beloved. They
should be reunited with their new baby. Get Alan out of the
institution & have him & Phillip battle it out for Beth. Right now it
feels like GL is on life support & any day now
someone's going to pull the plug.

DAM Interview in SOW (10/11/05)
Heads continue to roll at GL, the latest cast casualty being David
Andrew Macdonald (Edmund), as outlined last week. But the
actor isn't bitter.
"I feel incredibly honored being part of six-plus years of the
history of the show," says Macdonald diplomatically. "I have
accomplished the unthinkable, which is being a bad guy not connected
to any core family. Somehow, I lasted so long. I started
off as a three-month recurring role to establish the character of
Richard. Well, Richard went the way of God, and they didn't
keep me for just three years, they kept me for six. That's a great
thing."
Macdonald admits to only one regret about his GL exit. "I really
wanted to make it to episode 15,000," he sighs. "I'm sorry
that didn't work out. They have a little over 200 more episodes, and
I would have made that. If they have a 15000-episode
party, and if the show is still around, I hope I can go. That would
be fun."
Macdonald pooh-poohs the rumor that Laura Wright's defection to
General Hospital played a part in his dismissal.
"I don't think her decision to leave has anything to do with my
leaving the show," he asserts. "The most important thing for
me is that the fans keep watching the show, because I'll find another
job at some point. I am not as important as 68 years on
the air."
He also has a message for those fans. "Thanks for investing so much
in this character," he smiles. "He's not the kind of
person that people go, 'Wow, he's just like me!'. I'd like to thank
you for buying into it and going along for the ride with
me. It's been a lot of fun."
Macdonald tapes his last episode on October 6, so look for the Edmund
story to reach it's conclusion during November sweeps.
"Edmund will get his comeuppance," promises head writer David
Kreizman
-----------------------------------------------------------
If you haven't heard about that ( Sorry if it has already been
posted) GL has put out a casting call for a young character,
Lizzie's old schoolmate, who is going toi interact with Lizzie and
Coop. No idea if it is a contract role or not.
It has been posted by newsgirl on RRR's board
Newsgirl's post
I guess we're in for another triangle.
Message Body
GL has just put out a casting call for a character who's an old
school friend of Lizzie's. He's rich, a bit on the
snobby-side and can't believe Lizzie would ever be involved with
a "waiter." The audition scene involves both Lizzie and
Coop. I don't know whether this is a contract role or not.
ATWT is casting two different roles. One has been mentioned before
(a new cop in town), but the audition scene has been
revised and the character is now playing opposite Katie. (FYI -- he's
rooming with her.)
The second audition script is listed as being for two young
characters -- both of them young. One definitely sounds like
Luke (he calls himself 'messed up' and refers to problems with his
father); the young girl accuses him of thinking she's
'shallow and sheltered" and that her life has been one long Sweet
Sixteen party. The boy is getting ready to leave town. I'm
only taking a guess here but perhaps the role of Luke is being
recast?

VerDorn gets a new lease on 'Life', NY Daily News
VerDorn gets a new lease on 'Life'
By CAROLYN HINSEY
In the second major defection in a month, Jerry verDorn has jumped
ship from "Guiding Light" (where he played Ross Marler for
26 years) to "One Life to Live," where he will assume the role of
Clint Buchanan.
"I'm confused, but I'm happy," says verDorn, who was dropped to
recurring on "GL" in August, just before "OLTL" called. "They
hired me and said, 'By the way, you work five days next week.'"
Indeed, verDorn hit the ground running in scenes that will start
airing Oct. 25.
"My first scene is with Phil Carey and the next day I worked with
Bobby," he says referring to Robert S. Woods, who plays
Clint's brother Bo. "Bobby and I are sort of linked because we both
came on our shows in March of '79. In the early years,
when we were young and could run, we used to play softball games for
charity. So, we know each other. We can hardly wait to
work together."
Clint has been living off-screen in London since Clint Ritchie, who
previously played the part, retired to his California
ranch in 1998. He'll return to Llanview as a result of daughter
Jessica's mental illness.
"For the forseeable future, Clint and Viki are dealing with Jessica.
I'm busy trying to get up to speed. Erika has been very
good about filling in the blanks for me with the story," he says of
Erika Slezak, who plays Clint's ex-wife, Viki. "It's like
I've known her for years. People told me she's very giving and knows
her lines and and wants the scenes to be good. I come
from the same school, so we hit it off immediately."
VerDorn is going from the turmoil at CBS' "GL" (cast cuts, pay cuts,
rumors of cancellation) to the relative calm of ABC's
Llanview.
"I really like Frank Valentini," he says of "OLTL's" executive
producer. "He just wants to do a good soap. I think that is
what we should all do instead of trying to reinvent the wheel. Just
be what you are, and be a good one."
The actor knows "OLTL" is good because he has watched it over the
years - particularly when his old pal Mark Derwin
(ex-Mallet, "GL") was playing Viki's last husband, Ben, who also
happens to be Clint's half-brother.
"I tuned in to watch all his scenes," says verDorn. "He's happier
that I got this job than I am!"
"OLTL" could tell a heck of a story if they brought Derwin back as
Ben, except for one small problem: Viki got his heart when
he died.
"Yeah," says verDorn, "we've got a wrinkle there."
Comings and goings: Maeve Kinkead is on her way back to "GL" as
Vanessa. ... Christie Clark is returning to "Days of Our
Lives" as Carrie in November. ... "Young and Restless" welcomes John

Greetings From The Editor
Lynn Leahey
Dear Readers,
We recently surveyed some of you about DAYS couples, and the result
was a bit of a surprise. While Marlena and her men, Sami
and her troubles and Jack/Jen and Bo/Hope all have very strong fan
bases, the most enthusiastic response we got was for
fledgling pair Mimi and Shawn. Both are licking their wounds after
heartbreaks, lonely but tentative about moving on. We've
watched both characters grow up over the years, and it's entertaining
seeing them lurch awkwardly and charmingly into a new
phase. I think the photo we used for the cover captures them
perfectly. But don't feel left out if Mimi and Shawn isn't your
favorite DAYS duo -- of course we squeezed as many of your other
picks as we could on the cover, as you'll see when the next
issue hits your mailbox!
The Water Cooler
Reporting By Dorothy Walsh
I've been covering GUIDING LIGHT for barely four months, so while
phone interviews are becoming a breeze, I still had an
attack of nerves before a recent set visit, mixed by excitement over
seeing my first scene taped. The show's publicist led me
to the stage, where David Andrew MacDonald (Edmund) was stretching
out, preparing to tape a scene. He immediately came over,
and again, I was struck by how down to earth and nice soap actors are
(at least all the ones I've met so far). MacDonald is a
hoot; I literally had to stifle my laughter when they started
shooting. I'm going to miss seeing him in Springfield. Rob
Bogue (Mallet) showed up a few minutes later, and joked with
MacDonald about his heroic entrance to save Dinah (Gina
Tognoni). MacDonald laughed about his moustache-twirling villain,
saying he wanted to see Edmund tie a woman to train tracks
before his time in Springfield was done. Bogue considered that and
then quipped: "then the camera would pull back and you'd
see Mallet was on the tracks." "In a dress," MacDonald added. It was
a blast spending time with the two actors. In between
filming, I interviewed both of them, and took pictures while they
struck "hero and villain" poses. I could tell they really
enjoyed working together, and I'm sure Bogue is going to miss
MacDonald, as I will, too. My next set visit will have a
noticeable void to it.
Insider Info
Ever wonder what Digest editors talk about in the halls? Here's
what's on our minds this week.
Mike Bruno: "So just what is this mysterious procedure that OLTL's
Spencer is proposing for Kelly? We know that it will
somehow magically enable her to have kids again, but can't we hear
some more about A.) exactly what is wrong with her in the
first place and B.) what he's doing to fix it? We don't need hard
science here, but it would heighten the drama considerably
to add at least a dose of pseudo-reality to that story."
Elaine G. Flores: "I am totally enjoying the aftermath of Sami and
Lucas's nixed nups on DAYS. Bringing back Austin to set up
further friction with Lucas, Kate, and of course, Nicole, was a
stroke of brilliance. You've got to hand it to the show that
after all of Sami's wedding disasters they still found a way to make
this story fresh."
Star Sightings
Long-time GH fan, J.D.S. from L.A., spotted a bonanza of soap stars
at an Eagles concert at the Staples Center. "About 6-8
rows above me was Rick Hearst [Ric] and wife, Michael Saucedo [ex-
Juan], Rebecca Herbst [Elizabeth], Maurice Benard [Sonny
with wife Paula] happily enjoying the concert. I did not bother them,
but they were a very-good looking group."... Forbes
March (Nash, OLTL) lunching near New York's Lincoln Center.... Peter
Gallagher (Sandy, THE O.C.) playing craps at The Mill
Casino in North Bend, Oregon.... Kathryn Joosten (Karen, DH; ex-Ida,
GH), Lyndsy Fonseca (ex-Colleen, Y&R) and Tava Smiley
(ex-Chloe, GH) at the American Gem Trade Association Emmy Suite at
the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills, browsing bling
for the big night.... Jesse Metcalfe (John, DH; ex-Miguel, PASSIONS),
Terry O'Quinn (Locke, LOST; ex-Jerry, THE DOCTORS) and
Jane Kaczmarek (ex-Carol, FELICITY) perusing platinum at the Platinum
Guild's Emmy Suite at the Luxe Hotel on Rodeo Drive in
Beverly Hills.... Michael Sutton (ex-Stone, GH) meeting a friend in
front of Buzz Coffee at the Sunset 5 Plaza in Los
Angeles.
Type Set
I am a Jack/Erica fan and I also love the Kane/Montgomery family. I
was one of the men who wanted a Jack/Erica wedding for
years; I was thrilled when it finally happened back in May, and for
the wonderful job AMC did in giving us long-suffering
fans an incredible payoff. However, I really miss seeing them. I know
that sometimes we have to have our favorites on the
back-burner to be fair, but it has been too long since we've seen
this great family interacting. I hope this Greg/Josh story
brings the entire family into the fold and I can once again enjoy the
loving relationship between Jack and Erica, and the
conflict and interesting dynamics between their entire family.

SOAP SCAMBLER ANSWER
Thom Christopher (Carlo, OLTL)
-- End --
Parents hate to talk to their kids about lots of things, but we're
guessing the conversation between OLTL's Todd (Trevor St.
John) and Starr (Kristen Alderson, with Kassie DePaiva looking on as
on-screen mom Blair) was particularly thorny. How do you
explain the twistedness that is Margaret to a child? And do you
really want to get into the gory details?? Starr was
certainly surprised at what her dad revealed, and so were we, as we
note in our Top 10 Plus section.

The Top 10 Plus
What Weekly editors are buzzing about...or not.
1. No butts about it...has anyone else noticed the new camera angles
on THE BOLD AND THE BEAUTIFUL? One scene opened on
Bridget's behind (in jeans) as she walked toward Nick, another was on
Nick's tush while he dressed for his wedding.
2. ONE LIFE TO LIVE's Todd to his 14-year-old daughter Starr about
Margaret raping him: "God, I can't believe we're having
this conversation." Neither could we.
3. General Hospital needs to hire a new OB/GYN, stat. Dr. Meadows
double-checked Elizabeth, pronounced her and her baby fine,
and then Liz went home and promptly miscarried.
4. Could AS THE WORLD TURNS make it any more obvious that Maddie and
Casey will be a couple? They met "cute," they argue, and
they "hate" to be around each other. Hey, lovebirds: Get a room!
5. With a name like "Krystal," one might think ALL MY CHILDREN's Ms.
Carey is more at home sipping Cristal than hooch. One
would be wrong.
6. Did ATWT's Paul get Jennifer the volume discount when he committed
her to Deerbrook? And, following Barbara and Will, does
the family have its own wing now?
7. Looks like THE YOUNG AND THE RESTLESS' Nikki is going to be hooked
on pills again. Wouldn't her doctor know about her past
with painkillers and that she's an ADDICT?!
8. The excitement generated at all of DAYS OF OUR LIVES' Sami's non-
weddings makes you wish she'll remain a bachelorette
forever.
9. It's no wonder GENERAL HOSPITAL's Emily is such a mess: She's
consumed with Sonny's problems.
10. Did GUIDING LIGHT's Marina steal that maid's outfit, or is it
part of her "undercover" kit, along with the bikini and
handcuffs?
11. Sheila becoming Gloria's "guardian angel" pulls Y&R's Abbotts
even more into the Sheila story — and gives Glo something
new (read: not John) to worry about.
12. ATWT's Iris discovered that the Oakdale squad room is sometimes
completely abandoned.
13. On PASSIONS, Alistair's surprise gathering of everyone at the
Seascape to reveal Theresa as his bride-to-be had all the
makings of a good Agatha Christie mystery. Too bad nobody knocked him
off.
14. What a difference in Maria's ex-lovers Del and Zach on AMC. Zach
helped hide her sister Julia and Del turned her in.
Hmmm, wonder which one was scorned?
For Your Eyes Only
West Coast editor Janet Di Lauro
Despite getting the ax as GENERAL HOSPITAL's Carly, actress Jennifer
Bransford has only good things to say about the show's
fans. "They are all really cool," says Bransford, noting that a group
of devoted Carly supporters showed up at the studio
shortly before she taped her final scenes. "I came down from the
stage after finishing a series of intense scenes, and these
fans were in the green room. They brought all this stuff that they
had gotten from fans all over the country — printouts of
E-mails, a gigantic poster with my pictures scanned on it from all
the different [scenes] that I'd done. It was so moving.
They asked me, 'Is there a chance you're staying?' I was like, 'I
don't think so.' Their appreciation and support blew me
away."
Assistant editor Deanna Barnert
Fans aren't the only ones relieved to see B&B's Gaby finally show
some spine. "I really have enjoyed that," portrayer
Shanelle Workman confides. "It makes her more interesting than [when
she was] always whining and crying. And you can tell
she's not a bitch. She's taking the approach of, 'I don't want to
hurt you; I just don't want to be stepped on.' That's a
great way to be."

Mailbag
Keep those items coming...
Why We Clapped
The vote was unanimous for Applause, Applause kudos to PASSIONS'
Tonja Walker in Issue 41. She may have been a short-term
recurring player, but Walker strutted into her scene and took over
like she owned the place. She was playing Grace Nancier, a
fictional gloss on real-life legal personality Nancy Grace, and her
character gave Eve's courtroom storyline the third
degree. But don't think she went over the top; her portrayal was so
true-to-life it was almost an impersonation. Walker was
guilty of leaving us very impressed.
Listening Station
•Yes, that was Rie Sinclair's "Just You and Me" on the Sept. 22
episode of GH as Jason and Sam went upstairs together.
•GL's Marina clued in to the Edmund/Michelle baby swap as
Jewel's "Intuition" played on Sept. 28.
Nightwatch
WATCH FOR: GH's Corbin Bernsen (Durant) to guest as a lovelorn prison
warden on the Oct. 9 episode of NBC's LAW & ORDER:
CRIMINAL INTENT.
From editorial assistant Mala Bhattacharjee: Viewers got quite a few
shocks in this week's VERONICA MARS second-season
premiere — including the surprise that fan favorites Logan and
Veronica went to Splitsville over the summer and bad boy Logan
has taken up with Kendall Casablancas, played by ANGEL and BUFFY alum
Charisma Carpenter. Jason Dohring (Logan) doesn't
hesitate in raving about his new co-star to Weekly. "She's a sweet
girl, she's smart, and she's had a lot of experience
working on two TV shows. It was great to have her experience; she was
almost like a mother to me." But that's not always the
best thing during a love scene. The actor confides with a
laugh, "Sometimes, during a close moment, she'd ask me how my wife
was. 'Oh, that's totally the wrong question at this time.' " But the
question for Logan is simple: Where is the love? "That's
what it comes down to," admits Dohring, "getting some love. Logan's
lost so much and he's so embittered but still trying to
surviv!
e." Will he? This season, "Everything takes off in a new way,"
promises Dohring. To see how, set your TiVo for LOST and then
flip to VERONICA MARS on Wednesday nights at 9 on UPN.
From senior writer/editor Joe Diliberto: COMMANDER IN CHIEF, ABC's
new White House drama featuring Geena Davis as Mackenzie
Allen, the first female president, bowed this week with the story of
how Mac became...well, commander-in-chief instead of
Speaker of the House Nathan Templeton. Donald Sutherland's oily
Templeton wanted to be prez because he coveted "the power to
control the world." Now, that's probably not the best reason to
become leader of the free world, but were Mac's motivations
any more noble? She seemed to want to become president to spite
everyone who said she shouldn't do it. Everyone from the
former president's staff to Mac's own daughter told her to resign the
vice-presidency rather than ascend, but Mac refused.
And when Templeton insulted the Nigerian woman Mac was championing,
Mac copped an "I'll show that misogynist pig who's boss"
attitude and took the job just to get his goat. She sure showed him.
But now what is Mac going to do for a domestic policy?
For!
eign policy? The economy?
The We In Weekly
From Mala Bhattacharjee: Sometimes, it's the little things on a soap
that resonate with viewers. Who didn't grin when Martha
Madison mused on the name "Madison" as DAYS' Philip and Belle
conferred over naming their new baby? And as an editor who has
to keep her Phils straight, I gave a hearty "amen!" to Philip's
complaint about his own name being spelled with only one "l".
It was also wonderful to see Grandpa Victor involved in the naming
process, shaking his head at "Kiki Kiriakis." And GH's
Lucky won "historical reference" points when he took his adorable
stepson Cameron to Kelly's to try out his aunt Ruby's mac &
cheese recipe. It's always great when soaps' new generation tips its
hat to the past.
It's My Party
Hey, Carolyn Hinsey here! We had a great time Tuesday night at
Blondies Sports Bar in Manhattan as soap stars rallied for
Hurricane Relief, spearheaded by AS THE WORLD TURNS' Trent Dawson
(Henry), Terri Colombino (Katie) and Mark Collier (Mike).
Loyal friends and fans came out to support the event, which raised
more than $6,000 for the Daily News Katrina Relief Fund in
conjunction with Americares, which is providing humanitarian aid,
medicine and health care to the region.
I was thrilled with the turnout (over 30 stars!), and especially
impressed that ONE LIFE TO LIVE's Robin Strasser and Tuc
Watkins showed up. They had spent the day taping David and Dorian's
wedding and had an early call the next day, but still
dropped in and made the rounds of the bar to greet fans and sign
autographs. When OLTL Executive Producer Frank Valentini
came by, he couldn't believe it. "Do you know what time they have to
be back tomorrow?" he marveled. From the little pieces I
could glom about that wedding, it's going to be something to see.
As for the Blondies event, there are big photo spreads coming in
Weekly and Digest. Watch for them!

GL GLOSSES OVER "BLOSS"
What does Jerry verDorn's career leap from Guiding Light to One Life
to Live mean for "Bloss"? That's fan shorthand, of course, for
longtime GL spouses Blake and Ross Marler. "Liz Kiefer (Blake) will
remain with the show," the soap's rep tells TVGuide.com. "You will
continue to see Blake interact with her friends and family in
Springfield. The role of Ross will not be recast. Unfortunately,
Jerry verDorn has begun working under contract with One Life, so he's
unavailable to tape any farewell episodes on Guiding Light."
"We are very sorry to lose the character of Ross Marler and the
talents of Jerry verDorn," says GL executive producer Ellen
Wheeler. "We wish him much success as he heads to One Life to Live.
Guiding Light was lucky to have him for 26 years."
Well, that's all very nice and diplomatic, but it also leaves "Bloss"
in limbo. Since the CBS sudser had no time to pen a proper goodbye,
Ross will simply exist off-screen after he last airs Oct. 15. Such a
sad way to lose a character and a love story GL fans have cherished
for years.

B&B AND LOVING STAR PASSES AWAY
Southern-bred soap vet Perry Stephens — who starred on ABC's Loving
as preppie Jack Forbes from 1983 to 1989 — died Sept. 8 of
undisclosed causes at Hemet Valley Medical Center in Hemet, Calif. He
was 47 years old. Following his Loving stint, he briefly returned to
daytime in 1993 as Forrester Creations attorney Steve Crown, who
posed as Brooke's masseur to finesse her into signing a contract.
Later on, Stephens played JFK to Mira Sorvino's Marilyn Monroe in the
TV movie Norma Jean & Marilyn and was a shady studio flack on the AMC
original series The Lot.

Springfield Loses Its Mayor!
verDorn leaves Springfield for Llanview.
After more than two decades with GUIDING LIGHT, Jerry verDorn (Ross)
is leaving Springfield and moving to ONE LIFE TO LIVE's Llanview to
play Clint Buchanan. "We are very sorry to lose the character of Ross
Marler and the talents of Jerry verDorn. We wish him much success as
he heads to OLTL," said executive producer Ellen Wheeler in a
statement. "GL was lucky to have him for 26 years."
When verDorn joined GL in 1979, the role was a short-term one. But
impressed with what they saw, producers soon offered verDorn a
contract. The actor went on to win two Emmys in the role of
Springfield's patriarch.
"We are very excited to have an actor of Jerry's caliber join the
OLTL ensemble," says that show's executive producer, Frank
Valentini. "He is a well respected actor, and we look forward to
having Clint Buchanan back in Llanview full time." verDorn makes his
OLTL debut on Tuesday, October 25.
Buy Crystal's Emmy Dress!
Couture, from Crystal's closet to yours!
To do her part to assist victims of Hurricane Katrina, GUIDING LIGHT
starlet Crystal Hunt (Lizzie) is cleaning out her closet and
auctioning off the gowns that she wore to the 2004 and 2005 Daytime
Emmy Awards on E-bay! The money raised from the auction of the
Pamella Roland dress (which retailed for $4,200) and the Versace
Couture gown (with a tag of $20,000!) will go to the Istrouma Baptist
Church in Baton Rouge, LA, to help victims of the hurricane. Both
auctions end on Saturday, October 1. Click here for the pink Pamella
Roland dress. And here for the lilac Versace gown.
Putting an end to the speculation and rumors, ABC has at last
confirmed that soon-to-exit GUIDING LIGHT star Laura Wright (Cassie)
will be taking over the role of GENERAL HOSPITAL's Carly
Corinthos. "I am so excited to join the very talented cast of GENERAL
HOSPITAL," said the actress in a statement. "I can't wait to rejoin
my ABC family!"
Last week, GL executive producer Ellen Wheeler announced in a
statement that the soap and Wright had "mutually agreed to part ways
when her contract expires in October." The actress originated the
role of Cassie in 1997. Prior to joining the CBS sudser, Wright
played Ally Rescott Bowen on ABC's LOVING and THE CITY from 1991-'97.
GL will be recasting the role of Cassie. Meanwhile, Wright makes her
GH debut on Friday, November 4, when Carly returns to Port Charles

Posted by Henley at Soapzone's GH board:
QUOTE
She said it started two months ago. She has bumped into Brian Frons
over the years and joked about them needing a blonde over on AMC
before Babe got there. They (ABC) called once, a long time ago, so
when her contract was up, she called them back saying that she was
returning their call a year and a half later.
LW then flew out for a secret meeting. "I guess it was a secret," she
muses. "but I wasn't hiding with dark glasses and a baseball cap."
She met with Frons, Mo, Jill, and Gap. She was nervous.
GH offered her the job. "My head was spinning. I was like, 'You're
offering this to me? What the hell is wrong with you people?' Carly
is one of the arguably best female roles in daytime..." She adores GL
and felt loyal to them so she said 'no'.
But after, she couldn't stop thinking about it and talked to people
about it. Folks said she should do it... she can try the west coast
and if doesn't work out, she and her family can always come back
east. So she called GL and told them what was up. They weren't happy.
She screwed them in the timing department.
She's terrified and excited at the same time. Can't wait to work with
Mo and she can't wait to see T.W. again (Ted King's character name on
The City).
"I played Ally for seven years and Cassie for eight," LW says. "Let's
see how long I'll play Carly."

Dusay To Remain with Guiding Light
Posted Tuesday, September 13, 2005 4:52:37 PM
In a change of position, veteran Guiding Light actress Marj Dusay
(Alexandra Spaulding) has announced that she has reconsidered her
decision to exit the show when her contract expires later this year.
As previously reported by soapcentral.com, Guiding Light execs have
opted not to renew Dusay's contract.
"I will be recurring as long as that is possible and I am available,"
Dusay said in a statement. "I always feel very loyal to the character
of Alex and to the fans. This may seem corny, but I have always felt
that a character on a soap should show all sides of life: the good,
the bad and the growth one goes [through] in life."
In June, Dusay revealed that she would not continue on recurring
status and instead focus on spending time with her grandchildren.
Dusay returned to Guiding Light in December 2002. She appeared
previously on the CBS soap from 1993 to 1996 and again in 1998 and
1999.
Meanwhile, rumors persist that Dusay will reprise her role as Vanessa
Bennett on ABC's All My Children, the soap she called home from 1999
to 2002. While very much a fan of Dusay's work, an ABC spokesperson
states that there are no plans to have Dusay to return to AMC.
Yes...Marj is staying on recurring. She made the announcement a
couple of months ago at my board, Marj's Place.

Greetings From The Editor
Lynn Leahey
Dear Readers,
This is the second week in a row we had to tear apart a cover and
start from scratch because of a big news story. Last week we found
out, right before our issue went to press, that Jennifer Bransford
had been let go as GH's Carly. Rumors had been swirling for weeks
that that her job was on the line, but the hard-working actress had
people lobbying for her; their attempts to keep Bransford on GH
ultimately didn't work. Now we've learned another big name has been
let go: Kari Wuhrer, who has been front burner as Reese, has said
she's leaving. While the Bransford announcement wasn't unexpected,
the Wuhrer news came out of the blue. So it was back to the drawing
board for Ginny, our art director -- for a cover heading your way
now.

working here for nearly 8 years, you'd think I'd be past the point
where I'd confuse an actor with his character. However, I confess:
when I recently spoke with Roscoe Born and Kimberlin Brown (Terrible
Tom and Sheila, YOUNG AND RESTLESS) for news stories, I was nervous!
I wasn't sure what to expect from these performers who oh-so-
convincingly portray their messed-up alter egos.
Well, turns out I had nothing to worry about because both were
perfectly lovely (and didn't try to manipulate or blackmail me in any
way -- phew). While speaking with them, it became clear that the
reason they're so solid in their villainous roles is because they've
both taken the time to figure out what makes their characters
vulnerable. Brown really sympathized with Sheila "losing" Scott all
those years ago to Lauren, while Born believes that Gloria means more
to Tom than he's letting on. Also, both clearly love their
characters. Brown, in particular, was thrilled to again be playing
the part she called her "baby."
Many actors put a little bit of themselves into their parts, so it
was interesting to chat with ones who are about as far-removed from
their characters as you can get. I now appreciate their performances
even more than I did before.
Type Set
Soap fans are a vocal bunch -- see what fellow viewers are saying
about their shows.
What is GENERAL HOSPITAL's reason for firing Jennifer Bransford
(Carly)? I have to admit that at first, I was one of those who could
not accept her as Carly. To me, Tamara Braun was the real Carly. But
after watching Bransford in the scenes with Carly's nervous
breakdown, I am now a true believer; Jennifer Bransford is Carly.
Those scenes proved to me that she deserves the chance to be Carly.
When Sarah Brown left the role, it took the Sonny/Carly fans a while
to warm up to Tamara, but we did and we loved her. So why not give
Jennifer the chance, too? I've already warmed up to her and know
others feel the same way. Now they are recasting the role and expect
us to do this all over again. Even by recasting with Laura Wright, it
will take time.

What I'm Watching
Reporting by Mike Bruno
I have two tattoos. I'd love another. And while I won't say my wife
Liz absolutely forbids it (because we don't really forbid each other
as much as express our hopes for good judgement), her presence in my
life for the past eight years is likely the only thing that has kept
me from completely sleeving out one of my arms. While maturity and
experience enables me to now realize the good fortune of having
avoided having an entire arm saturated in ink, I must say that I
still think another couple of tattoos would be cool.
TLC's MIAMI INK has given me hope. There isn't a whole lot of
television that my wife and I agree on. For the most part, I like
sitcoms, dramas and sports, and Liz likes craft shows, cooking shows
and reality stuff. But we've found common ground with MIAMI INK. More
of a documentary about tattooing than a true reality show, we're both
completely fascinated with the interaction between the customers and
the tattoo artists. Each episode we get about a half dozen different
stories, ranging from people wanting to memorialize a dead relative
to just plain old decorative body art, and it's up to the artist to
bring to life a permanent representation of what the customers have
in their head when they first walk in the door. The final product,
with its intricate detail and beautiful shading, is often
breathtaking. The show is also about watching these five guys make
their new South Beach shop grow. Unlike the hair salon show BLOWOUT,
which is mostly about Jonathan Antin finding sycophants to help boost
is massive ego, shop owner Ami and his artists Nunez, Darren and
Garver obviously respect each other as artists and act and feel like
a family working toward a common goal. Even Yoji, the lowly
apprentice who the other guys love to tease and dump on, is clearly
part of the other guys' inner circle, as was most evident with the
way tough guy Ami turned to putty when Yoji let him hold his baby
girl on one episode.
So far, I haven't found a way to translate mine and Liz's mutual love
for MIAMI INK into a joint trip to the nearest tattoo shop. But then
again, we've only just begun season two. If they keep pumping out
good television, I'll keep working on my wife
In Person
Many versatile past and present soap stars also perform on stage.
Here, fans weigh in with their reviews.
My daughter and I were lucky enough to see Paul Anthony Stewart
[Danny, GL] in Fiddler on the Roof the first weekend in June when we
visited NY. I didn't know he was in the show until I saw his picture
in Playbill. What a treat it was to see someone I watch every day on
GL act, dance and sing in person. He was great! We really enjoyed the
show.

THE TOP 10 PLUS
What Weekly editors are buzzing about...or not.
1. GENERAL HOSPITAL's Brook Lynn told Seth she'd "take a raincheck."
How long has it been since anybody (especially anyone under 20) used
that phrase in real life?
2. How ironic that ALL MY CHILDREN's Val and Erica said online
chatrooms were declaring New Beginnings a "hit" and "magic" ? the
chatrooms WE visited were all revolted by the fake show.
3. You'd think, after all the times she's been heard, DAYS OF OUR
LIVES' Sami would learn not to talk to herself about her crazy plans.
4. Why can't soaps hire the fabulous Lamman Rucker (Garret, AMC) to
play something besides a rapist or pedophile?
5. Why hasn't GUIDING LIGHT's Jeffrey taken that death-threat note to
the police? As the DA, he has a responsibility to report crimes.
6. We assume AMC's Di learned to catfight in prison but was Julia
enrolled in ninja camp while on the run? Talk about a
Witness "Protection" Program.
7. Adriana and Duke's raging Cramer vs. Buchanan fight on ONE LIFE TO
LIVE made their snooze-inducing romance the liveliest it's ever
been ? but now lovebirds Kevin and Kelly are the ones putting us to
sleep.
8. And the award for "Worst Mother of the Year" goes to...AMC's Mimi.
How could she not believe Dani?
9. To BOLD AND BEAUTIFUL's Nick: When you angrily force your fiancée
off your lap to talk to a preacher on the phone, something's messed
up.
10. After Rory was snatched, AS THE WORLD TURNS' Carly demanded that
Jack tell her how this could have happened. Jack politely refrained
from suggesting she lock the front door.
11. When PASSIONS' Martin remarked that his daughter reminded him of
The Exorcist, did anyone else wait for Theresa to twist her head
around and spit pea soup at him?
12. Why did B&B's Nick have a framed photo of Brooke in his office if
he's trying to hide his feelings for her?!
13. AMC's Kendall and GH's Elizabeth must regret the day they agreed
to be surrogates since Greenlee and Jax keep nagging them about
everything from their diet to their friends/spouses.

What's your fortune?
Boy, were we surprised when a box of fortune cookies was delivered to
the office. After cracking them open, we found specialized fortunes
inside each cookie. It seems fans of GH's Ric and Alexis are hoping
for a fortunate future for this duo. "Every end is a new beginning
for Ric and Alexis," said one. If there was a bad fortune, no one
found it!
WHY WE CLAPPED
AMC's Alexa Havins grabbed the spotlight and Applause, Applause kudos
for Issue 40 after Babe saved her son from drowning in the Chandler
swimming pool. Havins brought Babe to life as her character breathed
life into her drowned son, delivering a performance that mixed the
anguish and love of a mother at her breaking point.

?On Sept. 15, GL's Coop and Lizzie flirted in the garage to Maroon
5's "This Love."
?Carly's wedding surprise for Sonny on the Sept. 20 episode of GH was
set to Norah Jones singing "The Nearness of You."
NIGHTWATCH
Senior Writer/Editor Joe Diliberto:
?Lots of people know that changes are made to pilots after they are
sold for fall series, but not everybody is privy to exactly what gets
changed and how recasting and reshooting scenes can impact the entire
tone of a show. NBC's spy drama E-RING underwent such a change and
here's your chance to peek behind the curtain and see how. In the
version aired Sept. 21, Benjamin Bratt's Jim began the show being
awakened while "spending time with a friend," CIA analyst Angie
(Kelsey Oldershaw). However, in the original version of the pilot,
Jim was married to a woman named Sharon, played by Sarah Clarke (ex-
Nina, 24). He originally woke up with his wife, in the new home they
had just moved into. As the show unfolded, it was revealed that
Sharon had quit the CIA to have a baby (who Jim was constantly
admonished not to wake up). Jim's wife and kid apparently were
jettisoned after the pilot in order to make Jim romantically available
(Bratt made a joking reference to installing a "revolving!
door" in the character's bedroom). Speaking of romance ? in the
broadcast version, Angela and Jim were naked in bed and she entwined
herself around him as they talked; but, originally, spouses Jim and
Sharon were clothed and not nearly so physically affectionate.
However, during the later argument over using Sharon/Angie's CIA
contacts, Sharon was much more familiar and affectionate with Jim
(kissing him on top of the head, for example) than Angie. So consider
how the show was changed: Instead of portraying a married guy with a
snippy wife, crying baby and car trouble (originally, Jim's car
didn't start, so that's why he rode a bicycle to the Pentagon), Jim
is now a playboy stud shacking up with a procession of hot little
chippies ? but still keeping our nation safe.
?In double duty news, Kate Burton played Rose, who helped care for
the Chief's Alzheimer's-afflicted wife on RESCUE ME and also plays
Dr. Ellis Grey, Meredith's Alzheimer's-afflicted mom, on GREY'S
ANATOMY.
Assistant Managing Editor Robert Schork:
?As the first half of its second season comes to a close, SciFi's
BATTLESTAR GALACTICA has yet to disappoint. It has consistently
delivered top-notch acting and writing, with rewarding payoffs to all
who invest (both first-time GALACTICA fans and diehards from the
original series) ? the way any good soap should. It's no wonder that
four of our editors, our copy chief and our columnist (that's right,
Mimi!) are all rabid devotees who never miss an episode. Who didn't
get verklempt when the Galactica crew christened their new fighter
after their terminally ill female president? That removed any
lingering doubts that this show belongs on SOAPnet and not the SciFi
channel. For those who missed out, the first season (including the
preceding two-part miniseries) has just been released on DVD. Now's a
great time to play catch-up.
Copy Editor Marc Wilkofsky:
THE DANCING WITH A SOAP STAR WINNERS!
Now that John O'Hurley has won the DANCING WITH THE STARS dance-off,
here's how you voted in our "pretend prime-time" show poll. The
runaway (make that danceaway) winning couple was Jason Cook (Shawn,
DAYS) and Kirsten Storms (Maxie, GH), who boogied together on DAYS
when she played Belle. Elizabeth Adair said, "We classic Shelle fans
still love Jason and Kirsten and we want to see them hit the dance
floor and make magic all over again. Go, Jirsten!"
Your clear runner-up was Hillary B. Smith and Robert S. Woods (Bo and
Nora, OLTL). "I've seen them 'cut the rug' several times throughout
the years on OLTL," noted Phyllis Kearsing. "They are quite talented
on their feet and could compete with ease."
Thanks for all your votes! Here's the voting breakdown:
Our winner: DAYS' Jason Cook and GH's Kirsten Storms: 52 percent of
the vote
Runner-up: OLTL's Hillary B. Smith and Robert S. Woods: 15 percent
And your other favorites...
3rd: GH's Scott Clifton and Lindze Letherman (Dillon and Georgie)
4th: DAYS' Drake Hogestyn (John) and GL's Kim Zimmer (Reva)
5th: ATWT's Trent Dawson (Henry) and Y&R's Michelle Stafford (Phyllis)
6th: GH's Steve Burton (Jason) and DAYS' Martha Madison (Belle)
7th: OLTL's Kamar de los Reyes (Antonio) and PASSIONS' Kathleen Noone
(ex-Edna)
8th: AMC's Rebecca Budig and Michael E. Knight (Greenlee and Tad)
THE WE IN WEEKLY
From Senior Writer/Editor Joe Diliberto: Somebody on the GL writing
staff has been brushing up on the classics and added a story quirk
that is positively Dickensian. On Sept. 20, a spectre of Ross
appeared to Dinah in the farmhouse and chided her for "building" her
prison herself, brick by brick, through her obsessive hatred for
Cassie. In Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol, the ghost of Scrooge's
dead partner Jacob Marley appears, wrapped in chains, to warn Scrooge
about the dangers of cold-hearted avarice. "I wear the chain I forged
in life," Marley moaned. "I made it link by link and yard by yard; I
girded it on of my own free will, and of my own free will I wear it."
Sounds like a very similar message, right? Cold heart = misery so
Marler = Marley? To borrow from another Dickens classic: Please, GL.
We want some more!
Editorial Assistant Mala Bhattacharjee: It sure was nice to hear GH's
Jax and Emily acknowledge their less-than-stellar history with
marital fidelity this week. Zander and Skye were, no doubt, saying a
hearty "Hallelujah!" from soap purgatory and the back burner,
respectively. However, one bit of decidedly revisionist history had
me scratching my head: Wasn't Sam's baby named by Sonny and Jason
while she was unconscious? Why did the grave marker say "Baby Girl
McCall"? Here's another question to ponder: Is shooting people in the
head and rendering them comatose a genetic trait? Both of Adela's
boys, Sonny and Ric, seem to have it in their designer genes.
Senior Editor Gabrielle Winkel: For those of you who get SOAPnet from
your cable provider, may I humbly recommend the prime-time soap
PASADENA? The 13-episode series, which ran for about three episodes
on Fox in Sept. 2001, is dark, funny, mysterious, and brilliantly
written and acted. My buddies at SOAPnet sent me all 13 episodes ?
talk about indulgence! I run to work an hour earlier to tidy my
office while I watch the trials and tribulations of the McAllisters.
The cast is stellar, including Dana Delany, Mark Valley (ex-Jack,
DAYS) and Alison Lohman, as well as Nathan Fillion (ex-Joey, OLTL)
and Lisa Hadley (ex-Julie, PORT CHARLES) as the sexually troubled
minister and his prim and proper (yeah, right) wife. SOAPnet has
added PASADENA to its Saturday night Dysfunctional Family lineup
beginning Oct. 1. Check it out.

so she must know what's going on," continues Jones. "That's when
Bridget point blank asks her if everything Stephanie said is
true.
But the scene's not just about Bridget. It's also about the
relationship between Stephanie and Brooke. Brooke has to be
honest, because Stephanie is standing right there."After Brooke
fesses up, "Bridget snaps out of this fool's paradise," says
Jones. "She's extremely hurt and deeply disappointed in her mother,
but it's somehow beyond anger. The most important thing
to realize is how deeply in love she is with Nick. She gave in to
that love and overlooked a lot of things. Intelligent
people do that all the time. They're blinded by love and believe in
the person so much that they only see the good." Bridget
then storms off to find Nick. "You can definately expect Bridget to
hold her ground with him, " warns Jones. "She's not
hiding anything at this point. She wants Nick to know that she knows.
She also wants to know why he would do this, why he
would lie to her and what he was thinking."

The Plan To Save GL [Just one quote]
David Kreizman "We've started to write past Danny & Michelle leaving,
past Edmund being gone & we haven't had any trouble at
all, even without bringing on a bunch of new characters. There is
enough of a core still there to easily carry the show."
Carolyn's Corner
Great interview with Jerry verDorn, IMO he sounds a little bitter
about his treatment there. Just a sample...
Carolyn: Pretty soon its going to be the Reva, Gus & Harley show.
JvD: In two sets with one prop.
Carolyn: GL will just have Blake say, "Ross is busy working?"
Jerry: I quess I go into the office, take care of paperwork & never
come out.
Carolyn asks what he will miss & Jerry says he will miss Liz Keifer
an awful lot.
Carolyn: What won't you miss about GL?
Jerry: Lately nobody really knows who was in charge. It was sad to
see the show dissemble publicly.
Still this week
Olivia plied Billy's drink with vodka to secure a top project for
Bill. Edmund switched DNA samples so Cassie & Jeffrey
couldn't confirm that Hope is Michelle's. Danny learned that Mallet &
Marina suspected a baby switch.
Public Opinion : Act Your Age
Viewer writes to say she never thought she would see Danny, ex-mafia
boss & mayoral candidate talking to stuffed animals,
with a girl who acts like she is going to a slumber party.
Another writes to say She wants Reva & Josh to work out their
problems like adults. Feels they are portrayed like teenagers
in high school.
Mail Call
Kudos to NSA. She's been great throughout Michelle's baby crisis.
U Said It To Us : The Light Is Fading
I truly am beginning to think TPTB are trying to kill GL. Not only
are they removing the heart of the show by taking the best
actors off contract, but they are writing stories that are so
nauseating that they are really hard to watch. The writer gives
three example of stories to prove her point. I marvel at how the cast
manages to perform the scripts they've been given with
a straight face.
Signed Lois Stahl
SOD
Poll PAS, NSA, M&D
Applause, Applause
It was a treat to see Ellen Parker return to GL as Maureen. Michelle
has "seen" her mother before during important times in
her life, & it was fitting for Maureen to comfort her.
Still This Week
Edmund overhears Cassie & Jeffrey's plans to get a DNA sample from
Michelle, so he beats them to her locker & switches names.
Jeffrey then takes an anonymous strand of hair. Later Jeffrey &
Cassie are relieved to learn that Hope is not Michelle's
child. Danny & Marina celebrate their future. Mallet finds them &
asks some questions about Edmund & Michelle. Danny learns
what Marina suspected about the baby, but she assures him that the
case is closed. Mallet, however isn't so sure.
Sound Off
A letter praising both Michelle & Marina. Said Michelle's performance
when she blamed herself for her baby's death was
riveting. Likes that Marina is looking into the accident, but she
would like Michelle to get Danny back.
Note: carrie6 will be on vacation over the next two weeks and unable
to post the magazine news during that time. ~Win

Dinah was the mastermind behind the baby switch all along. While

Michelle's daughter, which in turn Jeffrey admits lying to Marina
about the DNA tests, only to discover neither woman is Hope's mother.

thinks the baby should be with her, though Danny says otherwise until

Greetings From The Editor
Lynn Leahey
Dear Readers,
So GH is making a core (if not front-burner yet) character gay, and a
DAYS superstar's son is in the role. That's what I'd
call a big news week, but there's more, as you'll see in the Digest
coming your way. GL has a brand-new Cassie, John moves in
with Kate on DAYS, AMC has a week's worth of shockers and (drumroll
please!) Y&R's Lauren is finally going to come face to
face with Sheila. Definitely worth a trip to your mailbox, so you
don't miss a minute.
The Water Cooler
Reporting By Jennifer Lenhart
Anyone who attended the regular ATWT chats knows that I have been
vowing, literally for years, to do a joint interview with
Michael Park (Jack) and Maura West (Carly). This wouldn't seem like a
difficult undertaking, considering that they've been a
couple on and off since 1997, but for any number of reasons, our
attempts to do this Q&A have always fallen through. Finally,
last Wednesday, it happened: Park and West, captive in the studio
green room. I started by saying we would have to go all the
way back to when they were first paired since I've never done a
interview with both of them together, which evoked a flurry
of protests. Surely, they both argued, that can't possibly be
true. "Come on! You should check your records, Jennifer," joked
Park, before concluding, "Clearly, we've never been
asked." "Exactly," agreed West with a grin. Very funny, guys. "Oh,
we've
asked," I insisted, exasperated. It's practically a joke at the
office that "ATWT's Jack and Carly" is assigned to me on the
schedule every few months or so, and always ends up getting cancelled
at the last minute. These two complement each other as
perfectly in real life as they do on-screen — the ATWT fan favorites
(just don't call them a supercouple, they groan) have
been working together so long that they've developed an unbelievable
shorthand that takes some deciphering from outsiders. So
if you love Jack and Carly (and Park and West), you won't want to
miss the article, which will be featured -- this time, I
really do promise! -- in an issue on stands around the end of
November.
Insider Info
Ever wonder what Digest editors talk about in the halls? Here's
what's on our minds this week.
Dorothy Walsh: "I'm loving the flashbacks on DAYS. As a recent
viewer, its really fun to see old scenes of Sami and Austin or
Marlena as she tries to remember her past."
Elaine G. Flores: "Last week on B&B, after a hard day of nuzzling
Brooke, Nick returned to the boat where a scantily clad and
chipper Bridget was cooking him dinner. Not only is she pregnant, she
said she'd been at work that day, but she still had the
energy to get frisky with him on the sofa. Wow, and I thought Nick's
hologram-style daydream about Brooke was unrealistic."
Type Set
Nora is the only reason I watch ONE LIFE TO LIVE. Hillary B. Smith
(Nora) is an awesome actress. Her scenes in May during the
Daniel fiasco were amazing! I am still holding out for a Bo and Nora
reunion. If you lose Hillary, you will be giving up a
valuable asset to ONE LIFE. I am a 20 year-old who can look up to a
strong female character like Nora.

The Top 10 Plus
What Weekly editors are buzzing about...or not.
1. The DA's office, the police department, the hospital — is there a
single institution in GENERAL HOSPITAL's Port Charles
that isn't hopelessly compromised by glaring conflicts of interest?
2. AS THE WORLD TURNS' Mike and Katie are right to think BJ is a
little...off. And not just in a "he used to slay vampires on
another soap" sort of way.
3. ABC Trend of the Month: Perverts. GH's college perv and ALL MY
CHILDREN's Garret have prurient interests in young women.
4. GH's Jason knows Javier is out to kill Sonny, but let Javier
escape. Worst. Bodyguard. Ever. (Next to Max.)
5. GUIDING LIGHT's Jonathan asked Tammy to say his name as they began
making love. Maybe ONE LIFE TO LIVE's Duke should've
tried that with Adriana to remind her who she was with?
6. Dinah should be glad GL's Edmund upped the quality of the places
he holds women captive.
7. We can't wait to see Jerry verDorn as OLTL's Clint. Just wanted to
share. And you Viki fans out there (You know who you
are!) should feel the same.
8. Talk about party-crashers: Just who exactly invited Tabitha to
Theresa and Alistair's wedding on PASSIONS?
9. OLTL's Cristian may not be enjoying Carlo's visits, but we sure
are. Who needs PRISON BREAK with this fan favorite felon
around?
10. Talk about never learning from your mistakes. DAYS OF OUR LIVES'
Sami has been arrested (for treason) and is facing the
death penalty, yet again.
11. GH's Skye needs love counseling, pronto. She's torn between
noncommittal Luke and mobster Alcazar.
12. Product placement alert (relax, P&G): As she spoke of missing
Jamie, was OLTL's Lindsay handling a Stitch toy from ABC
parent company Disney's Lilo & Stitch?

Why We Clapped
Crazy, sexy, cool are perhaps the three words that best describe
GUIDING LIGHT's Dinah and her portrayer, Gina Tognoni. The
crazy, cool parts earned sexy Tognoni Applause, Applause kudos for
Issue 42. As Dinah struggled with the prospect of spending
the rest of her days in the faux-farmhouse prison, the specters of
the men who have previously defined her life, including
father Ross, popped up to torment her. But Tognoni showed viewers
Dinah's backbone as she put the Ghosts of Relationships
Past...er, in the past. Tognoni kept her cool and didn't let Dinah
go 'round the bend to CrazyTown, instead drawing strength
from her history and vowing to make her own way in the world. Once
she sheds the farmhouse.

much-wondered-about tune playing on July 29, 2005, when Ryan lurked
in the shrubbery as Greenlee grieved for him (Yes, we

Nightwatch
Senior writer/editor Joe Diliberto: Yes, that was Alana De La Garza
(ex-Rosa, AMC) playing Aethyr, the sexy Kryptonian
warrior woman in the metal bustier who popped out of that spaceship
in last week's SMALLVILLE premiere. Aethyr tried to
deep-fry Lana and banish Clark to another dimension, but ended up
trapped in the Phantom Zone herself. (Think of the P.Z. as
the really back burner...)
Senior editor Gabrielle Winkel: There's brilliant programming and
then there's ABC's brilliant move to show the new spooky
INVASION immediately after old spooky LOST. I love this so much that
that old standby LAW & ORDER is taped for weekend
viewing. Speaking of spooky shows, I'm not crazy about SURFACE, maybe
because I find the whole thing about the kid and the
tiny dragon a little too E.T.ish. I like Friday night's THRESHOLD a
little bit as the cast is quite appealing. This from a
person who was never into sci-fi at all (can't remember ever watching
an episode of STAR TREK, any version), but that all
changed with THE 4400, which I'm happy to report is coming back for
season three.
I just got an e-mail from NBC saying that an upcoming episode of THE
WEST WING would be going live. I'm going to rant a bit
here. I find this thing about television going live a bit tedious,
for the same reason I'm not a big fan of reality shows.
Live television is about seeing what might go wrong than go right.
Reality television thrives upon the humiliation of others.
Here's a word for you to look up: Schadenfreude.
The We In Weekly
Senior writer/editor Joe Diliberto: On Oct. 4, AMC's Opal rushed to
the Chandler Mansion to deliver fearsome news she had
gleaned about Dixie from reading her Tarot cards. But was she
interpreting them correctly?
The first card she displayed was The Hanging Man, which basically
indicates that wisdom will be obtained after undergoing a
hardship. Opal then mentioned lightning striking The Tower. This card
can be interpreted as the breakdown or destruction of
old ways of thinking to make way for the new. Next was "black
oblivion," which doesn't really represent any standard card, so
it was possible Opal was muttering to herself about the consequences
of the ruined Tower. Next, she mentioned a skeleton —
which can only be the Death card. This is the most misunderstood card
in the deck; it DOES NOT mean someone is going to die.
It can best be understood as indicating a big transition, a
monumental change from the status quo. For instance, an
unemployed person will get a job, or a working person will be fired.
The Death card can be very positive, so don't fear the
reaper. (And, just so you know, there is a card that can indicate
someone will die. But it ain't Death.) Also commonly
misinterpr!
eted is The Lovers. Despite the obvious symbology, The Lovers refers
to far more than romantic love; it means choices have to
be made, and refers to shared interests. Somebody will have to make a
choice that could define relationships. Opal convinced
herself, "Dixie is in the clutches of a newlywed!" Which was quite a
coincidence since, at that very moment, newly married
Garret had "Dixie" imprisoned in New York (perhaps in a skyscraper,
or "tower").
So, taken collectively, what can The Hanging Man, The Tower, The
Lovers and Death mean? Seems pretty clear: New information
will arise after some ordeal (Hanging Man) that will change
assumptions everyone has (The Tower); a choice must be made
(Lovers), and relationships will never be the same (Death). And all
this involves "Dixie." Hmmm...
Assistant managing editor Robert Schork: Was I the only PASSIONS fan
who felt Alistair's "big reveal" at his and Theresa's
wedding reception was one big anticlimactic dud? So he picked Little
Ethan to be his new heir. What's the big deal?! Weeks
ago they foreshadowed the need for Alistair to find a new, suitable
heir to take over for him when he kicks the bucket
(Remember how Ethan taunted him about it until old Al had an anxiety
attack?). And what's more, why would such a seemingly
tame act as cutting someone out of their will surprise anyone where
Alistair — a serial rapist and would-be murderer (of his
own children, no less) — is concerned?
Editorial assistant Mala Bhattacharjee: My head-scratcher of the
week: As GH's über-forgiving Emily languished in the
hospital after tripping onto a gardening tool, she praised her hand-
holding hubby Nikolas as being "wonderful." Wait. Hold
up. Rewind. Does cheating on her after she didn't recover fast enough
from her rape to get conjugal really make him a mensch?
And is it oh-so-lovely when your man runs back to you just because
you took a sickle to the gut and bled all over the park's
well-groomed lawn? Sorry, Em, but if you can't bring 'em running
while you're healthy...well, to quote that book, "He's just
not that into you." And he's just not that wonderful.
Copy editor Marc Wilkofsky: You can find former daytimers at your
local movie theatre in terrific tales of futuristic fantasy
and real-life history.
Nathan Fillion (ex-Joey, OLTL) stars in the successful sci-fi movie,
Serenity, a tremendously entertaining adaptation of his
2002 TV series FIREFLY. In this captivating and often funny film
(written and directed by FIREFLY and BUFFY THE VAMPIRE
SLAYER creator Joss Whedon), Fillion lights up, then burns up, the
screen as irreverent spaceship captain Mal, as he and his
team try to protect a mysterious, powerful girl. Even sci-fi
naysayers should check out this adventure; you don't have to
know a thing about FIREFLY — but you'll want to.
Peyton List (ex-Lucy, ATWT) is lovelier than ever with a pleasant,
poised presence in The Greatest Game Ever Played as Sarah,
a wealthy young woman who meets Francis, an amateur golfer, as he
amazingly rises in the ranks on the links. In this true,
thrilling and touching story, she becomes Francis' inspiration, and
he'll need it as he winds up in the game of his life —
and his nation. Congrats!

to Taylor. Having learned of the kiss his "Doc" shared
with the amorous firefighter, Ridge re-considers the idea of moving

Lindsey Melchior returns as Kristen Forrester on Oct. 21.
Guiding Light
Well, well, well... It seems Sandy shares a secret past with Ava the

BOLD DISH: SHANELLE FIRED!
The Bold and the Beautiful has fired soap starlet Shanelle Workman,
whose real-life romances with John Stamos and American
Idol's Constantine Maroulis were previously reported on by
TVGuide.com. She last airs as Gaby, the tragic daughter of
Stephanie's dead housekeeper, on Oct. 27.
Word is Shanelle's dismissal came as a shock to her, though it's not
all that surprising to viewers, since the saga of Gaby's
green-card marriage to Thomas Forrester (Drew Tyler Bell) wasn't
really going anywhere. In a diplomatic statement, B&B chief
Brad Bell confirmed: "Shanelle Workman has been released from her
contract. The decision was purely story line-dictated.
Shanelle is a wonderful young actress and made a great contribution
to The Bold and the Beautiful. We wish her every success
in all of her future endeavors." (Keep reading for more juicy B&B
news.)
BOLD BEAUTY TELLS ALL
Imagine our surprise when soap actress Tracy Lindsey Melchior — who
has played short-lived roles on The Bold and the
Beautiful, One Life to Live, Passions and Sunset Beach — popped up on
CNN's Larry King Live on Wednesday night. During her
hourlong interview with Larry King, the born-again Christian plugged
her new memoir, Breaking the Perfect 10, which details
her surprisingly painful past. She candidly discussed sad memories of
divorce, date rape, an abortion she now regrets and
having to eat dog biscuits during a neglected childhood. (In a word:
Yikes.)
Melchior also lamented how her career in daytime TV has never really
taken off. "My frustration with the soaps," she said,
"is I don't feel like I've been able to stay on one long enough to
really be understood." On the bright side, the flirtatious
Mr. King took several opportunities during the interview to insist
that Melchior looks like Julia Roberts. Her blushing
response? "Yeah. I do get that."
FYI, Melchior returns to B&B as Kristen Forrester for one day on Oct.
21. Kristen — who adopted an HIV-positive orphan from
Africa named Zende — will deliver a message about AIDS awareness.

SNS
News of Brooke and Eric's Vegas wedding gets out this week on B&B and
the reactions are mixed, to say the least.
"We all know why they got married-to stabilize things around Nick and
Bridget and Brooke," explains McCook. But their quickie
nuptials don't do the trick. "Bridget gives it no credibility. She
thinks they're being stupid and is still convinced that
Nick and Brooke are absolutely in love. She's not going to go back to
him. She's committed to raising the baby alone-this was
a wasted effort. She rips into them, but they stay calm and
centered."
The fur also flies at the Forrester manse. "My favorite thing is that
it makes Stephanie bleed out of her ears." howls
McCook. " It changes everyone's relationships. That's pretty hard to
do on this show with the same six or eight characters
after 19 years."
Jackie is in for a shock, too, when she arrives at the beach house
thinking she's still Eric's girlfriend. "The beach house
has been decorated and catered for a romantic evening for two,"
previews McCook, noting that Eric is anxious, um, to
consummate his new marriage. "Something sexy and nice has been laid
out in a box for brooke. Jackie arrives and the caterer
is still there. He assumes she's the special lady and wishes her
happiness in her marriage." A comedy of errors ensues as
Jackie thinks her beau is about to pop the question and slips into
something sexy which is actually meant for Brooke. "When
Eric arrives, he sees someone is there. A leg appears..." chortles
McCook. "It becomes a very awkward evening." Then things
take an even more startling turn. "Eric know something that no one
knows," teases the actor. "It's a revelation. He has kept
it from everyone-including Stephanie-for 45 years. And it will change
the chemistry of the show even more."

While they are sorting out their feelings for each other, Carly turns

MP Carly is very upset. She was racked with guilt and
stress thinking she murdered someone, when there was no murder and
she wants Iris to pay for what she's done.
TG says Iris was trying to play both fields. She wanted to cover all
her bases. She wanted to get the money and help her

Mandy Bruno, Marina on 'Guiding Light'
The baby switch on "Guiding Light" comes to a head today when couple
No. 1, Danny and Marina, confronts couple No. 2, Cassie
and Jeffrey, with Dinah's claim that Cassie's baby actually belongs
to Danny and Michelle.
Got that?
"Marina's got a pretty good gut feeling that the baby is Danny's,"
says Mandy Bruno, who plays Marina. "She doesn't know for
sure, though, because Jeffrey lied to her when they got the original
test results."
This time, Jeffrey comes clean. A furious Danny then orders a DNA
test to determine if he is Hope's father.
"They all go to the hospital to get bloodwork done," says Bruno of
scenes airing next week. "Danny gives the baby back to
Cassie until they get the results because Cassie has been the only
mother the baby has ever known."
While they wait for the results, Danny and Marina do what any self-
respecting soap couple would do: They have sex.
"There is this fear of, 'He says he loves me and nothing will
change,' but this baby tosses everything into the air," says
Bruno.
As they lie in the afterglow, the phone rings: They're in.
Danny and Marina pick up the results and bring them to Cassie's, so
they can all learn the truth together. Cassie is
heartbroken that Danny is indeed Hope's father - and Marina isn't too
thrilled, either.
"She doesn't cry," says Bruno. "It's kind of a relief to finally know
the truth. There's a sense of joy in knowing that Danny
is going to be a father again and that she solved this. She was
right."
The good news is that rookie police officer Marina figured out the
baby switch. The bad news is that news of their baby being
alive will send Danny straight back to Michelle's arms.
"It's one of those situations: 'I wanted to find the answer, but I
didn't want to be right,'" Bruno says. "There's total fear
of what the future is going to bring now."
Danny sets out to share the good news with his estranged wife,
leaving Marina behind.
"She tells Danny very honestly this is one trip he is going to have
to take on his own: 'I can't bear to watch Michelle's
face when she finds out the baby is hers,'" says Bruno.
Since the actors who play Danny and Michelle - Paul Anthony Stewart
and Nancy St. Alban - are leaving, it's not too hard to
figure out how this story will end.
"It's going to be a time for Marina to reevaluate who she is and what
she wants. There's a new guy coming to town,
Alan-Michael," Bruno says. "He's coming back recently divorced from
Lucy, who is Buzz's younger daughter."
And Marina's aunt.
"Correct. She'll also be working with Mallet and Jeffrey O'Neill, so
we'll see. I'm curious myself to see what happens,"
Bruno says.
One thing's for sure, though. "No more married men," says Bruno for
her character. "Way too complicated."

writer, because TPTB at Days dont give him enough creative power.
Because of his contract with them, and the fact that he's
steping down, and not being fired. He still has another year.
And speaking realistically as crappy as he writes, he does bring in
the demos high, and he keeps the ratings steady. Though
lately I've really been wondering how much of Days unfathomable
success in the ratings is due to what work he does,and how
much is due to what Ken Corday has been doing behind the scenes.
This rumor came out last week. Now of course by now, Days fans have
pretty much given up hope that we'll ever get rid of him.
Kind of like us and Ellen Weston. So nobody has been taking it
seriously.....
BUT it sure is one heck of a coincedence that these rumors pop up
right around the same time..........

'As The World Turns' Previews;
Week of October 17, 2005
October 16, 2005 (SoapOperaNetwork.com) – Everyone turns to Meg, Luke
collapses, Carly learns the truth, BJ's plan continues!
Meg has an Important Decision to Make!
After Meg shows Paul the result of the DNA test confirming that
Jennifer's son was switched with Gwen's baby, Paul then
shocks her by revealing he's known for a while that the babies were
switched. He tried to persuade Meg to keep this to
herself. Disgusted with the actions of Jen's brother, Meg tosses the
file to Paul and walks away. Afterwards, Paul calls
Emily thinking that their secret it safe. Paul opens the envelope to
find a note from Meg which reads "Rot in Hell".
Jennifer gets discouraged when she is unable to track down Nurse
Thompson, but gets consoled with a passionate kiss from
Dusty. Meg overhears Jen state that she can't truly move on until she
finds her baby. Paul uses this to his advantage by
attempting to convince Meg to keep her secret. Dusty decides to keep
his personal and "business" life separate and comes up
with a new plan to prove that Jen's son is alive. Paul thinks that
Dusty is out of Jen's life for good, and sends Emily to
work on Meg, while he puts his plan to cause conflict between
Jennifer and Dusty to work. Meg is disgusted with Paul and
Emily's reasoning for keeping this secret.
Dusty comes to Meg's rescue (after seeing her uncomfortable with
Emily) and causes Meg to give in….until Emily throws
Jennifer into their conversation. Dusty informs Meg and Emily that he
decides to have a second blood test and hopes that Meg
will help her do it. After Barbara manages to find Jennifer and let's
her known what's been going on with Rory's kidnapping.
Jen rushes to find Meg and pleads with her to help her get the test
done. Overwhelmed with guilt, Meg says she knows what is
right and agrees to help Jennifer.
BJ's Plan Continues
Katie meet Mike at Fairwinds and is shocked when she learns that BJ
has not only bought the place, but as asked Mike to help
renovate it as well. She is sad because Mike taking on this job would
keep them apart more than they already are. Mike
assures her that after he spoke with BJ, there is nothing she has to
worry about. Katie begins to think she's overreacting
until she sees BJ leave the house in a hurry when Margo and to
officers show up. After Katie calls him on it, he explains
that it wasn't Margo who made him run, but the men who were with her.
He admits to Katie that he had a bad experience with
policemen when he was younger. His plan begins to set into motion
after he purposely ruins Mike and Katie's lunch plans by
ending Mike to an appointment, then suggests he and Katie have
a "business" lunch to discuss a fundraiser and
housewarming/Halloween party.
During lunch, he talks to Katie about high school. Somehow they begin
talking about the prom, and she brings up some "nerd"
who helped her with the decorations. BJ insists that he was that guy,
though Katie takes it metaphorically and refuses to
believe BJ wasn't always popular. Later, Maddie comes to Fairwinds
and discovers a hidden box with a cheerleader's costume
and has a pretty funny fantasy involving Katie, BJ, Mike and ropes.
BJ comes in and interrupts Maddie. She lays all her cards
on the table, something she'll regret later. While she's telling him
all she knows, Katie walks into the room. After seeing a
very sinister look in BJ's eyes, he decides to cover for him. Later,
BJ threatens Maddie to keep her mouth shut or pay….
Luke Is Hospitalized
Keith and Holden face off as Keith tried to put and end to
Holden's "devoted husband image" by bringing up his affair with
Julia. Holden counteracts by threatening to expose Keith's job. After
Keith leaves, Lily begs Holden not to press charges…he
reluctantly agrees. Luke is thrilled that his parents are on the
verge of reuniting when Holden comes to pick up Lily for a
date. Though Luke continues to feel ill, he decides to go out with
some friends and bumps into Keith, who pleads with him to
tell Lily that what went down in Mexico wasn't his fault. Keith takes
Luke home after he sees how sick he is, only to get
yelled t by Lily for interfering in her family' life yet again. While
Keith and Lily argue, Luke collapses and is rushed to
the hospital. Susan informs them that Luke has gone into kidney
failure. Keith offers to fly Luke to a special clinic for
treatment but his offer is coldly rejected by Holden and Lily as they
take their son away.
Carly's Not Having A Good Week
While Gwen lays unconscious at the bottom of the stairs, Iris accuses
Carly of trying to kill her baby. While at the
hospital, Carly confronts Iris and demands to know if her baby really
did die at her hands as she claimed. Iris denies and
quickly departs as Carly puts together everything that the viewers
have known for weeks. Gwen awakens to find Will at her
side and it happy. While the cops wait for clearance to question
Gwen, she asks Will to leave so he isn't charged as an
accomplice but he decide stand by her. Their romantic moment is
ruined after Carly barges into the room and challenges Gwen
to admit she hasn't known the truth the entire time. A clueless Gwen
insists she hasn't known and Carly realizes Gwen was
lied to as well. Even though Carly and Gwen now have something more
in common beside the baby, neither seem any closer to
resolving the issues they have with baby Rory.
Carly then goes to the police station to talk to Tom, with all
intentions of pressing charges against Iris for blackmail. She
explains to Tom and Jack that Iris made her believe she had killed a
child, but Tom insists her that she has no proof to back
her claim of blackmail and the statue of limitations has run out on
her other claim, therefore she has no case. While Carly
is in the investigation room with Tom, Jack sees the vendor and finds
out from Margo that he has agreed to testify against
Carly in exchange for immunity. Jack is then forced to arrest his
wife.
Iris talks to Cass and informs her they have a good shot at getting
the baby back now that they have a strong case against
Carly. Iris visits Gwen at the hospital and attempts to convince her
she will help get her baby back, but Gwen doesn't
believe her. Iris then takes Gwen to the police station to see Cass
working on her behalf. Just as Carly is about to be taken
to away to wait for her arraignment, Cass subpoena' her to appear at
a hearing later on to determine custody of the baby. At
the hearing, the judge demands that Rory be removed from Carly's
care…..but that doesn't mean Gwen will be awarded
custody!!!!

Greetings From The Editor
Lynn Leahey
Dear Readers,
Our annual list of soaps' most beautiful women is in the issue on its
way to you right now. Every year we pick women whose
beauty is more than "skin deep." It's a varied group, with down-to-
earth advice (moisturize, moisturize, moisturize!) and
candid self-assessments.
Also in the issue is late-breaking news: Rebecca Budig (Greenlee) is
on her way out of AMC. It's been in the works for some
time (we heard whispers months ago) which means the show had plenty
of time to plot an exciting exit. Also out is PASSIONS's
Justin Hartley (Fox); that role will be recast.
As for this week's cover lines -- Jason's Shocking Decision!, Ryan
returns! and Viki Learns Jess's Secret -- well, you'll
have to wait for your magazine to come to get the scoop.
The Water Cooler
Reporting By Elaine G. Flores
One of the many interesting aspects of this job is that it's an
instant conversation-starter. It never fails, I go to a
cocktail party and somebody finds out what I do for a living and
starts grilling me about GH's Luke or AMC's Erica. Sometimes
they precede it by telling me that they don't watch soaps because
they're "so busy." The next thing you know, I find out that
they have an encyclopedic knowledge of GL's Josh and Reva. My next-
door neighbor, Joyce, has repeatedly cornered to inquire
about the goings-on with PASSIONS's Fancy and Noah, whom she adores.
My pal from Kindergarten, Tracey, once called me up
during office hours to yell at me about the DAYS stalker story --
then got even more huffy when I wouldn't divulge anything.
There's something about soaps that intrigues people, even those who
insist they've never watched. I wonder sometimes what
would happen if I got a less unusual job. If I end up going to say,
Dog Fancy, one day, will Joyce still talk to me?
Star Sightings

Union Square on Saturday afternoon in the pouring rain.
Type Set
Soap fans are a vocal bunch -- see what fellow viewers are saying
about their shows.
Months of building up to Lucas "coming out" and that's all we got?
Puh-leaze! I was pleased, however, that Lucas decided to
tell his cousin Georgie that he is gay. I was so happy to see that he
trusts and loves her so much, that she would be the
first person he would tell. Georgie was not going to react poorly;
she is a liberal, understanding,
I-love-everyone-for-who-they-are type young woman.
I miss Ryan Carnes as Lucas, but I am enjoying Ben Hogestyn and think
he is doing an awesome job portraying such a loveable,
under-used valuable character in GH history.

What I'm Watching
Reporting by Naomi Rabinowitz
I've always been a fan of horror flicks and ghost tales, so I was
thrilled when I first heard about The WB's latest offering,
SUPERNATURAL. Without my beloved BUFFY or ANGEL to look forward to
anymore, I figured that this spooky show could give me my
weekly demon fix -- and if all else failed, I could just spend the
hour admiring handsome stars Jensen Ackles (Dean; ex-Eric,
DAYS) and Jared Padalecki (Sam; ex-Dean, GILMORE GIRLS).
Happily, SUPERNATURAL lives up to its rather straightforward name,
and regularly provides a fun scare-fest. Following BUFFY's
early formula of featuring a different monster each episode, brothers
Dean and Sam Winchester scour the country, as they try
to stop ghosts and ghouls, and find out what killed their mom and
Sam's girlfriend (both ladies were pinned to ceilings, and
were then engulfed in flames. Yikes.). They're also attempting to
locate their missing dad, whose disappearance gets more and
more mysterious.
So far, the ghosts have been pretty frightening, as promised.
Borrowing from popular urban myths, the writers have introduced
us to the dead hitchhiker, the thing that lives in the woods and eats
people (shudder), and Bloody Mary. What makes the
storylines especially interesting is that the brothers always take
time to research the myths, so we get to hear about their
origins. I'm also digging the slightly grainy filmography, which adds
to the spookiness, and I love the classic-rock
soundtrack, which the show cleverly included by establishing that
Dean enjoys playing "Mullet rock" when driving.
However, the most enjoyable aspect of the show is watching the
relationship between the brothers evolve. Ackles is spot-on as
the cocky older brother with a vulnerable side. Meanwhile, it's easy
to root for Padalecki's tortured Sam. With the way they
banter, joke and fight with one another, it's easy to believe that
they're estranged brothers who are re-establishing a bond.
With Halloween coming up, SUPERNATURAL is a great way to get into the
holiday spirit. Just think twice before you watch with
the lights off!
SUPERNATURAL airs on Tuesdays at 9 p.m. on The WB.
In Person
Many versatile past and present soap stars also perform on stage.
Here, fans weigh in with their reviews.
I had the opportunity to see Michael Tylo [ex-Quint, GL; ex-
Blade/Rick, Y&R et al] on stage once again at the Pennsylvania
Shakespeare Festival in Center Valley, PA. This year, he appeared as
King Henry in King Henry IV Part 1. His performance was
riveting, bringing the same strength to the character on the stage as
he brought to his characters on YOUNG AND RESTLESS and
GUIDING LIGHT.
Shakespeare is not the easiest to understand, let alone perform.
Michael and the entire cast brought the play to life for the
audience, helping us to understand the dynamics of the relationships.
There were many younger members of the audience, my
12-year-old son included, who were absolutely fascinated. Kudos to
Michael and his fellow thespians who continue to bring
Shakespeare to our community!

The Top 10 Plus
What Weekly editors are buzzing about...or not.
1. GENERAL HOSPITAL's Lucas coming out to Georgie coincided with
National Coming Out Day, but the hasty actor switch from
Ryan Carnes to Ben Hogestyn had some viewers confused about who
exactly was walking out of the closet.
2. DAYS OF OUR LIVES' Austin figured out a way to get the charges
against Sami dropped — outsmarting Roman (the police
department) and Mickey (Sami's lawyer). Maybe he should consider a
career in law.
3. If AS THE WORLD TURNS' Jennifer truly believed her baby was dead,
surely she would have started a foundation in his
memory.
4. If the Coopers have overtaken the Bauers in the race for GUIDING
LIGHT screen time, where's Buzz?
5. Poor Yolanda finally got help and went to rehab on THE YOUNG AND
THE RESTLESS — then they wanted to throw her out.
6. Maybe GL's Danny would make a good father after all: He
recognized "Cassie's" baby, even when Dinah was holding her.
7. Though ABC still won't confirm ALL MY CHILDREN star Rebecca
Budig's (Greenlee) upcoming departure, the current Fusion
commercials have replaced Greenlee with Amanda. Hmmm....
8. Does GL's Billy keep call girls on speed dial? He didn't even have
to look up a phone number and a hooker promptly arrived
on his doorstep.
9. GH's Lucas is gay? Interesting, considering he was head over heels
for Maxie just a couple of years ago.
10. Just when you thought things couldn't get worse for DAYS' Mimi,
she started confiding her romantic problems to her
potential boyfriend Shawn's grandmother!

Why We Clapped
Rebecca Herbst's Liz faced a terrible reality — for the second time —
on GENERAL HOSPITAL when Liz miscarried the child she
was carrying for Jax, and her harrowing performance earned Herbst
Applause, Applause kudos for issue 43. While it would have
been understandable for Herbst to make Liz cut loose in pain and
really chew the scenery over the agony of losing a second
unborn child, Herbst emphasized Liz's struggle to contain her grief.
She resisted letting Liz weep openly, instead showing
Liz channeling her feelings with suggestive body language. She also
gave voice to her pain rather than give in to it. Herbst
had an especially touching moment when she and Ric recalled the
anguish they shared when their unborn child was lost. Faced
with a difficult acting assignment, Herbst delivered.
Listening Station
Are you a music aficionado? Can you recognize an obscure ditty at 0.5

contributions. Feel free to e-mail the song, artist, show and date to

so we can give you proper credit for your mad musical skills.
•On Sept. 22, GH's Dillon angsted about being thought the Perv to the
ABC-owned track "Best for Last," written by Rick
Krizman. When Jax and Liz fought over the radio dial before the car
crash that same day, the classical piece played was
Mozart's "Eine Kleine Nacht Musik" and the rock tune was "Right Here
and Now" by Matthew Nelson and JJ Farris.
•On Oct. 13, GL's off-the-wagon Billy had a private party with Jack
Daniels and a lady friend to the bluegrass tune "The Boy
Who Wouldn't Hoe Corn" by Alison Krauss & Union Station, off of their
2001 album New Favorite.
Nightwatch
•From senior editor Gabrielle Winkel: Well, it appears that NBC's
INCONCEIVABLE has miscarried. (Is that in bad taste?
Probably.) In a way it's too bad; the show boasted a nice cast — Ming-
Na, Angie Harmon and the sort-of-new-to-American
audiences Jonathan Cake. Isn't that a tasty name? Of course fans of
ABC's EMPIRE first met him as the gladiator-with-a-heart.
Oh, well. That's why they call it show BUSINESS.
I don't know how many CURB YOUR ENTHUSIASM fans are out there, but we
have a few on this staff. The new season is a bit
disappointing, but don't change that dial at 10:30 ET. EXTRAS, which
follows, is quite amusing.
The We in Weekly
•From editorial assistant Mala Bhattacharjee: Right in line with the
Halloween blockbusters, GH's Perv story has all the
makings of your average teen horror flick. Despite GH viewers hoping
that the infamous "garden claw" murder of Sage Alcazar
would die a quick death, it's been resurrected as Diego's motive for
being The Perv. Diego was finally clicking with viewers
after being separated from the perpetually chipped-on-the-shoulder
Brook Lynn. Now we're supposed to buy that he roofied and
stripped her? All because of his dead cousin's "woe is me, nobody
likes me" diary entries? And to counter insta-villain
Diego, there's insta-hero, Jump Street Jesse, who comes ready-made
with two tragic sibling stories (take that, Zander and
Jagger), an epic romance with Maxie that took five minutes to build,
and absolutely no credibility. Even amateur director
(and former suspect) Dillon can't make these angles look good. This
is one sequel that's anything but a Scream.
•From senior editor Gabrielle Winkel: I spent this past Columbus day
at an ABC photo shoot. Every so often the network does a
major shoot where they do formal portraits of about two dozen actors.
Since there's a lot of downtime, the publicity
department invites editors to get some up close and personal time
with the actors. As a result, my new favorite daytime actor
(who I had really never met, believe it or not) is Jerry verDorn
(Clint, OLTL). What a nice guy — and so delighted to be on
OLTL! His biggest worry is whether he'll be able to act without a tie
on OLTL, since GL's Ross was never without one. We're
not worried.

Kay Back To CBS Daytime!
Kay joins the cast of B&B as the new Felicia Forrester.
Felicia Forrester is coming home to THE BOLD & THE BEAUTIFUL: Earlier
this week, Lesli Kay (ex-Molly, AS THE WORLD TURNS;
ex-Lois, GENERAL HOSPITAL) began taping scenes as Eric and
Stephanie's rebellious youngest child. First airing on Wednesday,
November 30, Kay replaces Colleen Dion in the role. Dion, who
originated the role in 1990 and had played the character on a
recurring basis since 1997, was last seen on the show in December
2004, when Felicia learned that her colon cancer had gone
into remission.
"We are thrilled to have Lesli aboard as the rebellious Felicia
Forrester," says B&B headwriter and executive producer
Bradley Bell. "Lesli is a pro who will be stepping into the middle of
a gut-wrenching story. If anyone can deliver the goods,
it's Lesli."
Shanelle Workman has been let go from the soap as Gaby in
a "storyline-dictated" decision. "Shanelle is a fabulous actress
and [was] an amazing addition to B&B," says executive producer and
headwriter Bradley Bell. "This decision was based purely
upon story and nothing else, and I wish Shanelle every success in all
her future endeavors." Workman last airs on Thursday,
October 27.
Shortly after THE BOLD & THE BEAUTIFUL's John McCook brought his
alter ego, Eric, to Genoa City in August, headwriter and
executive producer Bradley Bell promised "a prominent Y&R cast
member" would return the favor. Soaps In Depth hears that
Jeanne Cooper is the crossover recruit in question. Although a rep
for B&B would not confirm Cooper's appearance, In Depth
has learned that Kay is going to be part of a major Forrester
Creations bombshell.

With Jerry verDorn (ex-Ross) now starring as ONE LIFE TO LIVE's

Blake, as played by Elizabeth Keifer? "Blake will still be part of
the canvas," reassures headwriter David Kreizman. The
scribe adds that verDorn's absence will also bring more of Maeve
Kinkead (Vanessa) to the show. "We're going to see more of
Vanessa now, with Ross gone, so Dinah will have her mother around a
lot," he explains. A show spokesperson, however, states
that there are no immediate air dates for Kinkead.

look like a worm, and my dad built big cardboard books that I stood
in the middle of."

----------------------------------------------
SOW's "Chatterbox", CC Q&A Options
HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT DANIEL COSGROVE (BILL) LEAVING? HOW WILL THIS
AFFECT OLIVIA?
I miss Danny already. We spent most of our days laughing. You can't
beat that. I'm happy for him. It's wonderful to be part
of a couple that works, and I still think there is a future for Bill
and Olivia. I know that they left the door open for
Bill. For now, it frees up Olivia to act out and misbehave, which is
what she is doing. She's hurt and angry in a bigger way
than she's ever experienced. It's going to get her into trouble.
WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE TO SEE NEXT FOR OLIVIA
What I don't want is for Olivia to resort to her old ways without
motivation. I'd like to see Bill eventually come back and
be in a situation where he's moved on, she's alone and there's a love
story. I want a love story, because I feel like we
don't have that anymore. I can watch "Sleepless in Seattle" again and
again. I miss that --- and I miss that on daytime in
particular.
WHAT HAS BEEN YOUR FAVOURITE STORYLINE ON GL?
I loved the initial relationship between Phillip and Olivia and Alan -
-- the triangle that almost was. It was an interesting
beginning. Having Olivia find a relationship that changed her for the
better with Bill was intriguing to me.
OF THE THREE MAJOR SOAP CHARACTERS YOU'VE PORTRAYED (CARLY-DOOL,
MAGGIE-OLTL, OLIVIA-GL) WHICH WAS THE MOST FUN TO PLAY?
I enjoyed playing all three of them. Carly was the tragic heroine and
drove story, so that was a challenge; I learned a lot.
Maggie was an offbeat character, and I appreciated getting to explore
that. And Olivia... I never played an anti-heroine
before. Trying to keep her from going too far into the black and
keeping her gray has been my struggle. Personally, I feel
I've grown as an actress having had that experience.
WHAT'S MORE CHALLENGING, HUMOUR, TEARS OR ACTING DRUNK
Humour is by far the hardest. For me, crying is not an issue, and if
you ever want a person to play a drunk, I'm a person you
can hire. I'm very uninhibited that way. Humour is all in the timing.
That's one of the great gifts that I got from working
with Danny, because they allowed us to make something lighter and
softer and funnier. Maybe I've gotten a little better at
it, but it's definitely the hardest.
WHAT'S IT LIKE TO HAVE YOUR HUSBAND (MICHAEL SABATINO-VINCE, EX-
LAWRENCE-DOOL) BACK ON THE SHOW? WHAT DO PEOPLE NOT KNOW
ABOUT YOU?
I never worked with [Michael]! We worked on alternate days, so it was
strange taking him to the train station and saying,
"Have a good day, honey." In my opinion, Michael is one of the best
actors I've ever seen, far better than I am. But for some
reason I'm the one working. "What don't they know about me?" I have
cellulite. I'm very much a homebody as I've gotten older.
I prefer staying in to going out, which is the first sign of old age,
from what I understand.
WHAT DO YOU STILL ASPIRE TO IN YOUR PROFESSIONAL LIFE, ACTING OR
OTHERWISE?
I have a writing partner, and she and I have been pitching television
shows. I also have taken an interest in writing
dialogue for daytime. I have some irons in the fire there... I'm very
open to anything that challenges. At some point, when
my time is done at GL, itwould be fun to spend six months to a year
on another show playing some whack-job.
WHY DO YOU CHANGE YOUR HAIR SO OFTEN? WHAT'S YOUR FAVOURITE HAIR
COLOUR?
Some people focus on their shoes, some people focus on their nails;
I've always played with my hair. I liked being blonder,
but, bottom line, when the budget cuts came in, I said, 'I'm not
spending that much money to get my roots done.' I'm also a
bit of a rebel,because I dyed my hair black the day I heard all these
people [at GL] were going to get fired.. My husband
said, "Boy, it's like Black Friday around here." And I went, "That's
good!" I ultimately [prefer] something with highlights
because I have very hard, strong features, and it softens me up.

Casting question about an actress going to AMC, Has anyone heard this?
Hi all,
I don't post much here but I've been reading the board for many
years. I saw a question on an AMC board asking whether the
role of Greenlee Smythe Dupres Lavery had been recast with
the "actress who played Michelle on GL". I hadn't seen that and
since Greenlee as played by Rebecca Budig is my fave character on
AMC, the very idea of NSA playing her............. well, it
makes me ill to say the least.
Has anyone heard anything about NSA going to AMC? I'm hoping this is
someone's cruel joke.
Thanks!

Michael Logan Q & A Interview, Some Interesting Mention of GL
http://soapzone.com/boards/read.php/gh/main/5742535
Coudret: Do you have the real scoop on why Nora is in a coma on "One
Life to Live"? Are they getting rid of Hillary B. Smith?
Logan: Are you suggesting that ABC would dare dump a wildly popular,
Emmy award-winning actress just because she's over 40?
You are living in a dream world, my dear! Okay, sarcasm over. Yes,
this could be the end of Hillary Smith — her contract is
up in December and Nora's coma is scheduled to last (at least) that
long. Then again, this could be a ploy to force Smith to
renegotiate her next contract for a lot less money (a dastardly
manipulation right out of the movie "Soap Dish").
Or maybe it's the beginning of a good plot — there's been buzz
that "OLTL" might try to turn this into a Terri Schiavo-type
story, with half of Llanview wanting to pull the plug and the other
half wanting to keep Nora a veggie. That could be bold
and riveting. And it could only work with a character as uber-beloved
as Nora, which is a great compliment to Hillary. My
guess: Nora will snap out of it and once again reign supreme, but
maybe that's wishful thinking. Comment (0) | Trackback (0)
Coudret: What's with Tracy Melchior — who used to play Kristen
on "The Bold and the Beautiful" and, briefly, Kelly on "One
Life to Live" — being interviewed for a full hour recently on "Larry
King Live"?
Logan: Like, how weird was THAT? The nation is freaked out about
terrorism, global warming, Harriet Miers and killer flu, and
Larry devotes the entire 60 minutes to Tracy and her so-so career.
The clips they showed of her from "OLTL" were stinky bad — confirming
everything non-soap watchers believe about soaps. And
Larry was at his leering, pervy worst, practically salivating over
Tracy — ironic considering she was there to plug her new
self-empowerment book that deals with her experiences with the
Hollywood casting couch and other sexually-related traumas
(she was drugged, raped, had an abortion — I could go on).
I don't mean to make light off her sad life — which seems to be much
better since she became a born-again Christian — but
there was something kinda creepy about the whole thing. It smelled of
sad opportunism — like when out-of-work actresses pose
for Playboy in a desperate attempt to jump-start their careers. I
felt sorry for Tracy and I felt sorry for Larry, whom I
mostly admire. He does some marvelous, often startlingly spiritual
things with that show. This wasn't one of them.
Coudret: Speaking of the spiritual, we've never talked about
the "Logan Crosses Over" column you do with psychic John Edward
in Soap Opera Digest. How do you get all those stars to talk about
their supernatural experiences?
Logan: Getting 'em to talk about such stuff has never been a problem.
The whole thing started with the soap stars who had
appeared on John's show "Crossing Over," talking about how it felt to
make contact with their dead relatives.
Fairly soon, other stars wanted to share their spiritual and
supernatural adventures and the column moved into a wider arena
of metaphysics — we've done UFO sightings, prophetic dreams, angels,
out-of-body experiences, sacred sites, past lives, all
kinds of cool stuff.
It's also a forum in which we talk about grief and how to survive the
death of loved ones, how to stay sane in these very
scary times, how to process events such as 9/11, the tsunami in Asia,
and our recent mega-hurricanes. The column was
envisioned as a safe harbor where actors could discuss spiritual
matters with dignity and without judgment and I'm very proud
that the vision has been realized. It's not everybody's cup o' tea,
but it was never meant to be.
Coudret: I can't help but notice you have many more female stars
participating than male ones. Is there something to that?
Logan: You bet. Go to virtually any spiritual seminar in the country
and you'll find mostly women in attendance. Women GET
this stuff, which is why they should be running the planet. Men think
it's fruity, if they think about it at all. I'm talking
in generalities, of course. We've had many guys participate in "Logan
Crosses Over" — Drake Hogestyn, Kevin Spirtas and Thaao
Penghlis from "Days," Frank Dicopolous from "GL," Charles Divins and
Justin Hartley from "Passions," just off the top of my
head. But it's primarily a chick thing.
Reader Question: Michael, can you confirm or not the suggestion that
Rebecca Budig was about to jump her "AMC" ship and go to
"GH"? The word is she was prevented from doing so. — Carole
Logan: Budig is definitely leaving "AMC" later this year, but I don't
know if there's any truth to the "GH" possibility. It
didn't work out too well when Finola Hughes left "AMC" and wanted to
go back to "GH" — the "GH" scribes didn't want to make
room for her.
I do know that Brad Bell has expressed interest in Budig for "B&B" —
he's planning to bring back the character of Donna Logan
— but I hope Budig doesn't jump to another soap right away. She's one
of the rare ones who could (and should) jump to prime
time.
Reader Question: Michael, what do you think of Greg Vaughan over
at "GH"? Personally, I think he's better than Jacob Young,
but I still really, really miss Jonathan Jackson. Jackson should be a
superstar with his level of talent. — Gigi
Logan: There's only one Jonathan Jackson, and his rare intelligence,
sensitivity and old-soul incandescence put an indelible
stamp on that role. I think Greg Vaughan is perfectly fine, I just
don't think of him as Lucky. But I do that a lot with "GH"
replacements. I always have to remind myself that Natalia Livingston
is playing the same character Amber Tamblyn did — to my
mind Livingston is playing someone who also happens to be named
Emily. I never adjusted to Lesli Kay as Lois, or John Ingle
as Edward, and certainly not Sandra Ferguson as Felicia. I'm hopeless
that way where "GH" is concerned, and I'm not sure why.
I have no such issues on other shows — like when Heather Tom took
over the role on "OLTL" created by Gina Tognoni, or when
Tognoni took over the role on "GL" made famous by Wendy Moniz.
There's just something about "GH".
Reader Question: Whatever happened to one of the last great head
writers, Nancy Curlee? Was her "GL" experience so bad that
she vowed never to return to the biz? Is this one more thing we can
blame on JFP, along with Maurice Benard's mumbling, the
death of "AW" and the decline of civilization (at least according to
some "GH" fans)? What can we do to lure NC back to this
once-magnificent genre? — Red
Logan: Nancy Curlee is one of the big "gets" in the soap world, and
if she ever returns to the biz it'll be sizzling news
indeed.
When she ended her terrific head-writing stint at "GL" in the
early '90s — a gig she shared with her husband Stephen Demorest
and (of all people) James E. Reilly (now of "Passions" and "Days"
fame) — she insisted she wanted to be a stay-at-home mom.
I've never met Nancy, but we had some long and amazing chats on the
phone back in her "GL" heyday — she is deeply passionate
about writing, she's whip-smart, and she has one of those sweet,
milky, seductive Southern-belle accents that make us guys go
stupid.
In short, I was cuckoo for Curlee. She was coy about the specifics of
her exit, but seemed really happy to have a real life.
Beverlee McKinsey, the original Alexandra, always credited Nancy with
being the best of the best — the writer who brought
Alexandra to full, sardonic bloom — and that's quite a kudo. For you
newbies, McKinsey was the greatest actress EVER to grace
soaps, and she always will be.
Coudret: Let's tackle all of this at once:
Reader Response: I registered at the site solely to complain about
your current column, and your comment about the "Nancy Lee
Grahn pity party." Apparently no one but you is allowed to have an
opinion, and apparently, our viewing tastes are supposed
to be the same as yours. And, apparently, women over 40 are supposed
to shut up and be glad for any small thing they can get.
This is wrong. You certainly don't deserve a column. — Texas Reader
Reader Response: I noticed in your comment about the whining Nancy
Lee Grahn fans, you made no mention of the double standard
at "GH" regarding their over 40 actors, who do not seem to have a
problem getting airtime OR story. Also, your comparison
neglected to include many of the over-40 actresses on other shows,
including Erika Slezak, Kim Zimmer, Deidre Hall, among
others, who are either front & center on their respective shows, or
at the very least, driving stories, while Nancy gets
close to nothing on "GH." But because she is a woman on ABC,
basically we should just shut up, be grateful, and take whatever
scraps we are given? I don't think so. Nancy and her fans both
deserve better — Scorpgrl7
Reader Response: As far as Nancy Lee Grahn, maybe where there is
smoke there is fire? If people were not interested in having
NLG on their screens, they'd say nothing. She happens to just simply
remain one of the most popular characters and actresses
on "GH." Fans have had reason to complain, Honestly this year I don't
think NLG has enough for an Emmy nomination; she's
barely been on some months, although I think that's changing [due to
fan input and complaints that you speak of??]; according
to her website she's going to be on much more beginning in November.
As per the comment above, I'd like to see "Days"
backburner DH to the extent "GH" has backburnered NLG in the last
year and see the fan backlash. I would expect nothing less
of fans to complain and if there is interest and recognition, as
there is for NLG, then they will. I won't go into the other
aspects of this comment that bother me (the implication that it's
just par for the course and that any over-40 actress should
just count her blessings if she's on at all). These shows are for
women, about women of all ages and life stages. It's a
shame that the medium has lost some important characters already,
such as Bobbie or Felicia, to the rampant ageism/sexism
present on ABC under Brian Frons. — Carol
Logan: People, people, PEOPLE! I did not mean to suggest that you NLG
fans be "grateful" for what little you're getting, but
rather that you get realistic.
The writers and producers at "GH" are fully committed to the show
being a sick, twisted, violent, mob-driven man soap, and so
is the network — and they made that obvious a couple of years ago
when they re-did the "GH" opening and put the spotlight
squarely on the guys.
In theory, I admire Frons' bullheaded refusal to kowtow to the fans
who want the old "GH" back. Shows must evolve, they can't
go home again, and the whole soap industry would be a lot healthier
if the shows weren't so similar, so boring, so safe.
I don't have a problem with the evolution of "GH" nearly as much as I
have a problem with it not being done well. As I've
said here before, there will be no big changes as long as "GH"
remains ABC's top-rated soap among the all-powerful 18-49
crowd — and that's the case pretty much most weeks.
But back to Nancy Grahn: Throwing Deidre Hall, Kim Zimmer and Erica
Slezak into the argument — as proof that other big-deal
divas haven't suffered the same fate as NLG did — is total hogwash.
As any "Days" fan will tell you, Dee recently came off a
long stretch where she had nothing of value or interest to do. Slezak
has gone through many back-burner periods. And Zimmer,
though rarely ignored, gets handed unbelievable crap to play — most
recently, Reva's battle with menopause which turned her
into a slutty, drunken hooligan from hell. Is that preferable to the
current situation in which we find La Grahn? I don't
think so. She will rise again because she is a fantastic actress and
has been strong enough to survive the blitzkrieg that
leveled so many ABC Daytime actresses of her age and ilk. The Marcy
Walker fans? The Genie Francis fans? The Kristina Wagner
fans? Now THEY have something to whine about.
Response posted by SlkyCaramel
I can't stand him. Last week he talked about how Nancy Lee Grahn fans
need to stop writing in to everyone and being so vocal
about her screentime and just be thankful that she's over 40 and
still has a job, and now that he has been called out for his
crap, he's backing away. He sucks (Viv - how about that NLG brigade
huh? We're in full force these days).
I do agree about what he said about Beverlee McKinsey - she is the
BEST EVER, and I also agree about Gina and Heather rocking
their recast roles.
response posted by Verbatim
I don't get what kind of fans the shows want. If you write about a
certain character, you are obsessing and stupid, and if
you don't write, the stars tell you to write. Is there a magic
formula that actually works? Why would older women (and men
for that matter), be valued on a soap? Just this past week at the
official board, fans took great joy in making fun of
pictures of older fans. Older stars and older fans are not valued.
Guiding Light is turning into the WB. Oh sure, a couple of
the more mature actors are still there, but what story are they going
to have? Nothing of substance I am sure.
More power to NLG if the writing helped her and kudos to someone at
the show that listened. But if it doesn't fit their
agenda, I don't care how many letters are written, they do what they
want, as well they should.
reponse posted by noranader
I stopped reading as soon as he started talking about John Edwards.
What utter nonesense. Such a con artist. I'm baffled that
people actually believe in that. Poor suckers.
response posted by blosslover
think all fans should be worried about their favorites losing their
jobs. It is almost easier to list the fan groups who
haven't been destroyed that have been around for over five years. And
if you are over 40, OMH you are ancient and not allowed
to be in daytime anymore...LOL The list of actors and actresses who
have lost their full time gigs in enormous and Nancy Lee
Grahn's fans have seen people who've worked with Nancy in the past
get canned. Whenever there seems to be a money problem
they try to fix it by getting rid of individuals who have been around
for years. Of course, by doing this they may be digging
the hole even deeper. It is the difference between keeping a sure
thing and taking a risk where you could completely lose,
but it is a cheaper gamble. An actor here or there leaving is normal,
but having the identities of shows change and someone
who hasn't watched for three or for years not recognizing most of the
cast of a show is a BIG problem.
Ironically this week Entertainment Weekly (October 28, 2005) did an
article in their news section called "Old School if
networks can learn to love their core audience--baby boomers--why
can't advertisers?" It says that the average age of viewers
in prime time for each of the nets are the following: NBC is up to 49
(last year they were at 46.4), ABC is 46 (last year it
was 45), CBS is at 51.6, Fox is at 45, WB is 37.
They say in this article that if it wasn't for advertisers all would
be fine. And they seem to be adapting. Look at some of
TV's biggest hits with older performers see William Petersen on CSI,
Hugh Laurie on House, Felicity Huffman on Desperate
Housewives, Anthony LaPaglia on Without a Trace. Then it goes on to
say there are more, but this season proves that younger
stars don't make a difference. The average age of the Ghost Whisperer
starring Jennifer Love Hewitt is 53.
My favorite quote in this is from David Poltrack the head of research
at CBS network which says "We're attracting more
viewers but our median age is not going down substantially, Are we
supposed to be punished for having a higher median age?
This is the boomer population that fuels the economic engine for this
country. They shouldn't be considered a negative."
One chief media officer is quoted with "The adage that if you buy
young, you'll get old is still true and probably will be
forever."
Then the writer of the article says which is quite amusing to me.
Wish the people in daytime would take this to heart and the
advertisers would too. The last paragraph states how in 1997,
Entertainment Weekly ran a cover story urging the networks to
air new shows over the summer. Most TV execs said oh that won't work
because they simply had never tried it. Then three years
later CBS premiered Survivor and we know how that turned
out..television changed due to that.

Greetings From The Editor
Lynn Leahey
Dear Readers,
As some of you may have noticed, we like to have a little fun with
our holiday covers. Our next issue's no exception -- it
practically screams Halloween. (Actually, it really does
scream "Boo!") It's a preview story featuring some storyline
surprises, some happy (treats) and some not (tricks).
We also report that Shanelle Workman, who played BOLD AND
BEAUTIFUL's Gaby, has been released from her contract. Workman is
a solid actress and delightful person, but the character was a bust
from the beginning. Credit Bradley Bell for knowing
when to cut his losses (that would be sooner rather than later).
Another story in this issue is a trick and a treat. The bad news for
Manny fans? GUIDING LIGHT's Danny and Michelle are, as
previously reported, being written out of the show. The good news?
They'll have a happy ending, after the blackout that will
throw Springfield into turmoil.
Speaking of GL, I just finished a new book called Not That Man
Anymore , by Susan Hufford and her late husband, Michael
Zaslow (ex-Roger). It's a moving account of his battle with ALS (Lou
Gehrig's Disease. He talks about being written off GL
when his speech was slurring, ONE LIFE TO LIVE writing him into that
show, and fans who were angels on earth. You can order
it on Amazon.com, and Susan tells me she's planning book signings
with the casts of GL and OLTL. Look for more info as we get
it in Digest .
In the meantime, dig into your new Digest!
The Water Cooler
Reporting By Stephanie Sloane
As a 21-year viewer of DAYS OF OUR LIVES, and the show's editor here
at Digest , I can't tell you how much fun I've had
putting together our 40th anniversary section for DAYS, which will be
in the issue on sale November 8. But perhaps the best
-- and most unexpected -- surprise was the package of tapes I
received from SOAPnet this week as part of its anniversary
tribute. Included in it was the first two episodes of the show, which
provide a good indication that DAYS was going to make
it. See Macdonald Carey 's Tom counsel troublemaking granddaughter
Julie -- and Marie plan her doomed wedding to Tony -- on
November 8, the show's actual anniversary. The other treat was
certainly the "Bo and Hope: Through The Years," marathon,
which will air November 25. The episodes capture the highlights from
the '80s: Doug has a heart attack after catching the duo
about to make love for the first time, Bo rescuing Hope from her
wedding to Larry, Bo and Hope's lavish nups in England, as
well the birth of Shawn Douglas in 1987 and the vat of acid in 1990
(anyone who claims to be a DAYS fan should know what that
means). But besides the Bradys, the episodes provide fabulous peeks
into Salem past with Leann Hunley (ex-Anna), Quinn
Redeker (ex-Alex), Gloria Loring (ex-Liz), Lisa Trusel (ex-
Melissa), Michael Leon (ex-Pete) and Don Diamont (Brad,
Y&R; ex-Carlo) in his first daytime role. Trust me: This is one
Friday night you'll want to stay home.
Insider Info
Ever wonder what Digest editors talk about in the halls? Here's
what's on our minds this week.
Naomi Rabinowitz: "I love how on YOUNG AND RESTLESS, we're actually
seeing the scenes where Lauren and Michael plan their
wedding, and how excited and involved Gloria is getting about the big
day. So often on soaps, couples just "miraculously" put
together a huge wedding in almost no time, so it's refreshing to see
some characters going through what normal people go
through."
Elaine G. Flores: "ITA with Naomi on the fun and realistic wedding
planning. I hate lavish insta-nups. But what was up with
that paltry bachelor party? I think the boys went over budget on the
booze and balloons considering the small turnout."
Mara Levinsky: "After a ridiculously long drought, it was nice to see
ALL MY CHILDREN's Adam and Brooke in scenes together
again, and she was in fine form when she let him know that news of
his marriage to Krystal had already reached her. That
said, does anyone else feel cheated out of seeing her initial
reaction to Adam's latest jaw-dropper?"
Star Sightings

Marmalade Cafe in Sherman Oaks, CA.... Kristian Alfonso (Hope,
DAYS) and Peter Bergman (Jack, Y&R) at separate tables at
L.A. hotspot, Firefly.
Type Set
Soap fans are a vocal bunch, see what fellow viewers are saying about
their shows.
"I have got to say that it's great to see the Cass Winthrop character
in Oakdale, having been a huge fan of ANOTHER WORLD and
Cass when the show was on the air. My problem is that maybe I'm
drawing blanks, but I don't remember Cass being such a mean
and vindictive lawyer/person. I loved Cass on AW, but watching him on
AS THE WORLD TURNS being so dirty makes me miss the old
Cass. Just my opinion, but hopefully before he leaves Oakdale he'll
have a chance to show everyone what a great guy he always
was."

Check out the greenery behind AS THE WORLD TURNS' Jennifer Landon
(Gwen) and Jesse Soffer (Will): It's real, thanks to ATWT
hitting the road (well, visiting another borough) to shoot Gwen and
Will's escape to New York in an actual New York park. We
thought the scenes looked fabulous, much better than anything they
could have done on the set. See if you agree with our
editors in our The We in Weekly section.

The Top 10 Plus
What Weekly editors are buzzing about...or not.
1. Why is the roof such a popular destination on soaps? Have YOU ever
gone to the roof of the local hospital? In this
post-9/11 world, some doors should be locked.
2. Was AS THE WORLD TURNS' baby-carriage-down-the-stairs sequence an
homage to The Untouchables or Battleship Potemkin?
3. When it comes to Sam, GENERAL HOSPITAL's Manny obviously never
heard that old song advising: Don't mess with girls with
guns.
4. Was it just us, or was everyone yelling, "Jump!" when THE YOUNG
AND THE RESTLESS' Lauren was on that ledge?
5. First Meyer and now Javier. Oh, yes, GH's Jason is such a badass
when it comes to shooting unarmed men at close range.
6. Even if THE BOLD AND THE BEAUTIFUL's Stephanie was right about
Brooke and Nick, did she have to be so vindictive?
7. People on DAYS OF OUR LIVES are more surprised to find recovering
alcoholic Lucas working the bar at Alice's than they are
when people come back from the dead.
8. AS THE WORLD TURNS' BJ chugs chocolate milk whenever he's nervous
or upset. Hope he's not lactose-intolerant, too.
9. GUIDING LIGHT's Harley boasted that as a cop she'd break the arm
of an uncooperative suspect. Is that what Marina is
learning at the academy?
10. On PASSIONS, the Lopez-Fitzgeralds should start running a funeral
home out of their house. First Rachel's coffin is on
display in their living room, now Luis'.
11. We turned in to watch DAYS on Oct. 18 but it looked more like VH1
than NBC with the Rolling Stones video playing. Maybe
next time they should feature some DAYS actors in their video?
12. Ryan's funeral on ALL MY CHILDREN was the ultimate soap opera
cliché. First the "dead man" showed up for his own memorial
service and then his wife — yup — fainted in his arms.

Want to send a note like a soap star? Now you can with a new line of
greeting cards (journals and magnets, too) by "Moonlight
Creations by Deb." Moonlight Creations fans include Cady McClain (ex-
Rosanna, ATWT; ex-Dixie, AMC) and Catherine Hickland
(Lindsay, OLTL). "I love sending Deb's cards to people because I feel
like I am spreading her healing energy," raves McClain.
(Former TV producer Deb Eiseman turned to art after a debilitating
cab accident.) Adds Hickland, "This new Brush Dance
collection is a gorgeous extension of her creativity and vision to
reaching a person's emotions through a note card. She is
unbelievably gifted." Even better — a portion of the proceeds go to
Childhelp USA, a great charity that helps in the
prevention and treatment of child abuse. Go to www.brushdance.com

Happy shopping (and writing)!

Hugs and Kisses
The SkyLo is the limit for fans of GENERAL HOSPITAL's Skye and
Lorenzo who sent in the largest Hershey's Kiss we've ever seen
to the office. "Never underestimate the power of a kiss," they said.
And never underestimate the power of chocolate.
Why We Clapped
When mulling Applause, Applause kudos for Issue 44, the staff decided
that ONE LIFE TO LIVE's Bree Williamson was twice as
nice. Playing the dual role of Jessica/Tess, Williamson had the
difficult job of acting against herself. She had to show two
different sides of the same person as she faced the life-changing
news that she is pregnant. Jess fought to persuade Tess to
take the development seriously, then they argued over "Who's the
Daddy?" with a comical twist: "Who's the Mommy?" — as in
which personality is responsible? Williamson gave different shadings
to each facet of her personalities as they battled for
dominance — with OLTL fans the winners.

•On Tuesday, October 18, DAYS' Mimi and Shawn watched the Rolling
Stones' video for "Streets of Love" on their TV and the
song played again on Wednesday, the 19th when Sami found Lucas with
Sophie in his apartment.
Nightwatch
Senior Writer/Editor Joe Diliberto
Was Elvis watching? MEDIUM's Oct. 17 episode provided practical
advice on how to fake your own death. All you have to do is
store up four pints of your own blood in your refrigerator, pick the
place where you want to "die," and scatter the blood.
Then disappear completely. The coroner will declare you dead, because
four pints is the magic number — anyone losing that
much blood would need an immediate transfusion or die. So poof!
You're a goner. Now what? The show didn't have any
suggestions for how to pull off the disappearing part, but you should
probably eschew the example of the King, who can't
break his habit of being spotted at rural truck stops and gas
stations, even when he's supposed to be keeping a low profile.
Kids, don't try this at home!
Assistant Managing Editor Robert Schork
I'll admit as a WEST WING devotee I was somewhat biased against ABC's
COMMANDER IN CHIEF. While it wasn't love at first sight
with the pilot, after watching the series' fourth episode I've found
myself growing to love it. Any worries that this would
be an ill-conceived attempt to clone WEST WING quickly faded, as
COMMANDER's very personal, very soapy storylines took root.
For anyone who likes their political intrigue light on the politics
and heavy on the drama, President Allen might be worthy
of your Nielsen vote.
The We in Weekly
From Associate Editor Tonya Lensch: Two baby-related items to note.
Kudos to DAYS OF OUR LIVES for tackling postpartum
depression with Belle. One "downer" about the story, though, is how
the show is not using a real baby (and haven't since the
day Claire has been born). Soap viewers are savvy and know when
actors are holding and cooing to a DOLL and a crying track is
being used! On the flip side, AS THE WORLD TURNS went on location in
New York City with several actors — baby and all! — for
the climax of the Carly/Gwen sister reveal. It looked great and was a
true payoff for viewers.
From Senior Writer/Editor Joe Diliberto: If I may be allowed to
expand on Tonya's excellent point, ATWT's New York location
shoot was truly terrific: The bright and airy locations around
Grant's Tomb on the Upper West Side lent some much-needed heft
and believability to the story of Gwen and Will kidnapping the baby
they think is hers. It's too bad likely budget restraints
limited the production to setting scenes around park benches just
like they do when limited to those phony studio sets. But
still, the trees, wind-blown leaves and grass look infinitely better
than the plastic studio fakes. Seeing Jack chase Will on
real New York sidewalks and tackle him on real turf was a treat. The
biggest positive was the superior lighting provided by
Mother Nature. Even when shots didn't match due to cloud cover,
scenes felt more open, bigger...and expensive. Just seeing
clouds move in the background (heck, spotting the sky at all is a
soap rarity) or the breeze muss an actress' hair — i!
t all made viewers feel like they were there. Soaps should move
outdoors whenever possible. Every sojourn immerses fans in
that world — even if it's just a walk in the park.
It's My Party
Editorial assistant Mala Bhattacharjee: It was gorgeously warm and
verging on rain on Sunday, Sept. 16, when I attended the
Desi Geestman Foundation's third annual Evening With the Stars
benefit in Los Angeles. What a nice change from brisk the New
York weather! Right off the bat, I spotted hostesses with the
mostesses, Cynthia Preston (ex-Faith, GH) and Alicia Leigh
Willis (Courtney, GH) running around (as much as you can in heels)
making sure everything was going smoothly.
On the red carpet outside the Ivar club, everyone from GH's new
Carly, Laura Wright, to DAYS' returned hunk Austin Peck
stopped by to chat with me and Digest GH editor Tom Stacy (whom I
finally got to meet). Inside the club, it was actors plus
fans as I spied SOAP TALK's Ty Treadway up on the stage, DAYS' Kevin
Spirtas (Craig) serenading everyone with Craig's song
from Brady and Chloe's wedding, and wacky photos being taken in the
back. As I made my way through the crowd (as much as you
can in heels), I bumped into fellow New Yorker Michael Lowry (ex-
Jake, AMC; ex-Les, ATWT) and spotted the very rhythmic
Ignacio Serricchio (Diego, GH) dancing...with himself. I passed
Corbin Bernsen (John, GH) graciously signing things for fans
and made the acquaintance of a very PASSIONS-ate Christopher Maleki
(Spike). By the time the evening wound down and the rain
started, the wonderful people at the Desi Geestman Foundation were
closing up another successful event and I was making a
mental !
note for next year: Flats!
Hi everyone — GL editor Heather Filemyr here. After a week of stormy
skies in New York, the clouds parted and I set sail with
fans and stars from New York harbor for a scenic boat cruise on Oct.
15 hosted by Ricky Paull Goldin (Gus, GL) as part of the
Official GUIDING LIGHT Fan Club Weekend. "When I left the house this
morning, I thought it was going to be gray all day and
[now] the sun is out," marveled Stephanie Gatschet (Tammy). "This is
a perfect day." "The rain let up and I couldn't ask for
prettier skies and calmer water," concurred John Driscoll
(Coop). "Everyone's having a good time." Newcomer Michelle Ray
Smith (Ava) was bowled over by fan support. "I've had so much fun,"
she grinned. "I didn't realize the boat was going to be
so cool. It's like a little vacation. I've met so many people, and
I'm so excited because my secret comes out [this week], so
they're all like, 'Who are you related to? Who are you with?'" Of
course, Smith couldn't let the cat out of the bag, bu!
t those who tuned into GL this week now know what Ava's been hiding:
She's Sandy's wife!

FALL PREVIEW
Cassie/Edmund/Dinah - After Michelle gives birth, Edmund is
successful at
slealing the baby and passes her off as his (and Cassie's). Dinah
finally
puts two and two together, but after the fact. Then, of course,
Edmund has
to keep Dinah quiet and away from Cassie. New Springfield PD rookie
Marina
looks into whether Michelle's baby died the way everyone was led to
believe.
But this is a double-edged sword, because if there was indeed a baby
(and it
is really Danny's) this could mean the end for her relationship with
Danny.
Question: Does this also make GL fans suspicious that Edmund did a
similar
thing with Cassie and Richard's baby several years ago? Will this be
addressed? Stay tuned…..
Lewis Family - As previously reported, Daniel Cosgrove (Bill) will be
leaving GL this fall for a new series. GL will write the character
out of
the show with Bill leaving town because of his relationship with
Billy.
Olivia will cross the line again Billy, which leads to her making the
wrong
choice. The right person for Olivia might well be right in front of
her.
Billy tries to help Reva take her mind off her problems as she pushes
Josh
away. Question: When will Olivia run out of Lewis men to marry? Is
Billy
next? Crystal Chappell (Olivia) is reportedly in contract
negotiations and
hopes to remain with the show, so only time will tell about Olivia's
next
beau.
Gus/Harley/Mallet - After the honeymoon, Gus believes he has to take
over at
Spaulding since Alan is out of the picture. Harley is supportive, but
will
get pulled into things more than she thought. Blake writes another
book that
showcases the Harley/Mallet relationship for the public, which might
mean
trouble for the newlyweds.
The Spauldings - We continue to "see" Springfield through Phillip's
eyes,
but not see HIM (Grant Aleksander, who played Phillip for over two
decades
has said he won't be coming back to the role). Alan Michael returns
to
Springfield this fall. He and Lucy broke up off-camera (yet the
Spauldings
and Coopers never mentioned this?). A-M comes back to help at
Spaulding, but
how will he and Gus work together? Are A-M's intentions honorable or
does he
have an agenda of his own?
Jonathan/Tammy/Sandy - Tammy and Jonathan continue to have a deep
connection
to one another. Tammy really wants Sandy to be the 'anti-Jonathan.'
Jonathan's new friend, Ava, will have a connection to someone else in
Springfield, which will be revealed pretty quickly.
Lizzie/Coop - Lizzie loves Coop and wants to annoy the Spauldings by
marrying him. Will Coop leave Lizzie and go to Oxford to pursue his
dream?
