2006 PREVIEWS
B&B Executive Producer/Head Writer BRADLEY BELL feels like he now
has all the characters in place for where he wants them to be in
2006.
Big changes are about to happen on the romantic side for Brooke,
Ridge, Taylor and Bridget.
When something significant happens between Taylor and Hector, Ridge
reaches his breaking point, and his marriage to Taylor could be in
jeopardy.
With the problems in Ridge's marriage, and with Nick committed to
Bridget, will Brooke find herself vulnerable to returning to Ridge?
Even though Bridget has agreed to raise Dominick as her own, she
will be relying on Dante heavily, and she will also be vulnerable to
him.
A new twist will drop yet another bomb on the question of just who
owns Forrester Creations.
When Eric and Stephanie grow close over Felicia's illness, where
does that leave Jackie? Jackie hesitates starting a life with Eric
because of the bond he and Stephanie have shared.
Dante is about to see some action in his life as women enter his
life.
FEBRUARY PREVIEWS
Brooke has put aside her feelings for Nick for Bridget's sake, but
a larger worry might overshadow any fears Bridget has of losing her
husband. Can she survive the kind of pain no mother should ever have
to endure? And how will that twist of fate impact her marriage.
After Dante recalls a night of passion with Felicia when they first
met in Europe, he wonders if he could be the father of her baby and
demands a paternity test. Dante then makes a request of Bridget that
she would not have considered in the past, leading Bridget to give
Nick and Brooke some shocking news.
Ridge is determined to win Brooke back, but this is no longer the
Brooke who would do anything to be with him. Brooke soon finds
herself torn between two men, and in choosing where her heart lies,
she must decide which man's heart she will shatter in the process.
In the wake of the end of her marriage, Taylor makes some
destructive choices. Can Hector come to her rescue? And can his live
and support get her past not only depression, but a bad habit that
could put her and others at risk?

THE 33RD ANNUAL DAYTIME EMMY AWARDS
Emmy Pre-Screening Nominations Announced
COMPLETE EMMY COVERAGE
It's daytime television's biggest night. Soap Opera Central has all
the Emmy angles covered. Select an option from below to link to more
information.
The pool from which this year's Daytime Emmy nominees will be drawn
has gotten a little bit smaller. The National Academy of Television
Arts and Sciences (NATAS) has released this year's list of pre-
screen nominees in the performance categories of Daytime Dramas for
the 33rd Annual Daytime Emmy Awards.
Briefly, each soap holds its own mini-Emmy ceremony in which the
cast and crew cast their votes for the top performers in the six
acting categories -- Lead Actor, Lead Actress, Supporting Actor,
Supporting Actress, Younger Actor and Younger Actress. The top two
vote-getters in each category are the two nominees that the show
puts forward into the pool from which the final Emmy nominees will
be drawn.
The pre-screening process was put into effect three years ago as a
response to growing criticism that shows with larger casts were
unfairly seizing control of the nomination process. For more
information on the reasons behind the pre-nominations, please click
here.
Nominees in the performance categories will be pre-screened along
with the other Daytime categories at the pre-screen judging on
January 21st and 22nd, 2006. The pre-screening will be conducted in
both Los Angeles and New York. The nominees for the year's Daytime
Emmys will be announced on February 8th, 2006. This year's ceremony
will be broadcast live on ABC on Friday, April 28, 2006, from the
Kodak Theater in Hollywood, California.

News and Events:
Straight Shooter
As he sat down with his cup of tea and bear claw, Jerry Douglas
(John) took some time to shoot the breeze on his current storyline.
You've had an action packed storyline lately. What was your reaction
when you found out John would shoot Tom?
JERRY: I was very surprised but I can believe he shot him because
[Co-Executive Producer/Co-Head Writer] Jack [Smith] has had a much
more interesting edge to John Abbott in the last three years than
ever before. I think [Y&R Creator] Bill [Bell] saw my character a
lot in his own making – and not that it wasn't great stuff over the
years – but it was very conservative. And I also recently belted
Roscoe's [Born (Tom)] character.
Was that fun?
JERRY: Oh yeah. My kids asked me, 'Can you punch good?' And I
said, 'Yeah, I used to box.'
Do you think John should allow Ashley to take the blame for the
shooting?
JERRY: I can't imagine he would. The show has always dealt with
principle on a very high level. Even though John acted to protect
his family, he did bring a gun. Even though he did it to protect
himself, it did lead to a shooting and he's responsible for it. I
think John will be punished. This is a clean cut shot where he just
shoots him. We could do some great scenes from jail. And it would be
interesting to see John come back with an edge to him.
Is it difficult to act out the heart attack scenes?
JERRY: That's hard for me. That's very tough because I keep myself
in great shape, but it's workable because you could have a guy
that's in great shape who happens to have a weak heart. What's more
difficult is the flashbacks – the pieces of my memory coming back.
You're flashing back to different scenes and you have to think about
what you're reacting to.
How do you feel about John frequently ending up in the hospital?
JERRY: I like hospital scenes. When John had the big outburst
because of Kevin and fell down the stairs -- those kinds of scenes
can be very fun to do.
Do you ever tease the writers about their treatment of John lately?
JERRY: I just say, 'Boy, I'm in good shape for a guy that's always
falling down [laughs].' That's kind of fun. I remember I had to do a
scene after he gets out of the hospital with a broken hip and he
gets seduced by Gloria and we had to take our clothes off to some
degree, and I said, 'He sure has a lot of energy for a guy who's
always injured![laughs].'
The addition of Gloria has really thrust John into the center of a
lot of storyline. Are you enjoying working with Judith Chapman?
JERRY: Judith is the best girl I've had in a long time. She's such a
combo of strength and vulnerability. And besides, Judith happens to
be a terrific actress.
John's off-screen wife, Kym, and his on-screen wife Judith Chapman
having fun.
Speaking of wives, in honor of Valentine's Day, do you have a
favorite romantic memory with your wife Kym?
JERRY: The most fun was our honeymoon 21 years ago this April. We
went to Bermuda and it was when I was on the screen all the time. It
was the beginning of the Abbotts and they were the only power
family – now there's the Newmans and the Abbotts – and I was working
all the time. I got a nice break and we went for five days. When we
got there it was like I was the biggest movie star that ever lived
because everybody on that island that works there loves The Young
and the Restless and they watched it every night at 8. So, the
concierge gave us a private beach so that we were able to be alone
and nobody would know me. We put on little disguises, took a cab,
got on the beach and got a blanket out; We jumped in the water and
then she was laying down and I went to kiss her. As I leaned down to
kiss her, I saw three photographers in the bushes. Then I looked up
and saw more faces, so that was the most romantic memory because it
was just so funny.

RESTLESS VET EXITS
Scoop! The Young and the Restless cast and crew gathered on the set
this week to share a farewell cake for soap vet Jerry Douglas.
TVGuide.com has learned that Douglas, 73 — who has played Jabot
Cosmetics tycoon John Abbott since 1982 — was let go due to a story-
line-dictated twist.
Spoiler alert! As viewers know, John shot the vile Tom Fisher
(Roscoe Born) and refuses to allow his daughter Ashley (Eileen
Davidson) to cover for him by taking the murder rap. What will be
the Abbott patriarch's reward for ridding Genoa City of human scum?
A seven-year prison sentence. Although it's sad to see this beloved
pro go, Douglas has been woefully underused for years. At least Y&R
is sending him and his classy character out with a bang!
---------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------
BOLD BEAUTY OUT
Although Bold and the Beautiful honcho Brad Bell has admitted to
feeling tempted to keep Lesli Kay on the canvas, the CBS sudser will
kill off the dying Felicia Forrester as planned. Bummer!
"Isn't she marvelous?" Susan Flannery (Stephanie) asks
TVGuide.com. "I'm sad to lose her, too, but it's such a powerful
story."
Despite Kay's popularity, her TV mom thinks it'd be a mistake to
reverse Felicia's terminal cancer diagnosis just to keep her
around. "Doesn't that kind of burn the audience?" Flannery says. "We
have to go down this path and pay off the story in the right way."
Word is, Felicia's unfortunate demise will give rise to a Bold new
saga: a tussle over her baby son, Dominick. Look for Italian
stallion Dante (Antonio Sabato Jr.) to start asking, "Who's your
real daddy?"
---------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------
KRISTOFF STAYS RESTLESS
Scoop! Although Kristoff St. John's contract negotiations got
unusually close to the wire, the Young and the Restless star — who
has played Neil Winters since 1991 — tells TVGuide.com he is
now "committed to three more years in Genoa City."
As viewers saw last week, Yolanda (Chene Lawson) abruptly skipped
town after Neil rebuffed her seduction attempt. (Basically, the
recovering crackhead dropped her towel, and the very married Mr.
Winters insisted she put it back on and check herself!) For his
part, St. John feels relieved that Y&R's writers changed their minds
about playing out an infidelity scenario. "It would have been very
disrespectful for Neil to step out on Dru with their foster son's
mother," he says. "Neil has too much dignity and integrity for
that."
That said, it sounds like Y&R has something much juicier planned for
the Denzel of daytime. "There's some major, family-related trouble
coming up for Neil and Dru," St. John teases. "We're trying to bring
back Malcolm, but with Shemar Moore doing so well on Criminal Minds,
I don't think we'll be able to get him. If we have to, we will do
the story without him. But this is some major stuff — and I don't
know if all's well that ends well for Neil and Dru's marriage."

Y&R'S ERIC BRAEDEN WANTS REVENGE!
Those who read Eric Braeden's candid interview last Friday know how
passionate he is about his role as Victor Newman on The Young and
the Restless. As hinted last week, the soap vet also aims to get
back on the big screen. "I am planning to make a revenge picture,"
Braeden reveals exclusively to TVGuide.com. "I will produce and act
in it as well. When that becomes a reality, meaning when the money
is there to bankroll it, I will gladly talk to you again." And I'll
be glad to pass on the dish to our loyal readers!

Upcoming Rumor Spoiler
Carly goes undercover, tired of Nick's flirtations, and decides to
use it against him. Her plan- she plots to seduce the young man who
has a thing for her, use that against him, and get him fired. She
accepts Nick's dinner proposal in the coming weeks, slyly suggesting
they'll go as friends. Yet she dons her sexiest dress ever.
-Jack is frustrated with his home situation, and feels lesser of a
man. He heads to the bar to let loose his frustrations, and knocks
back a couple of beers. Jack meets a lonely looking young woman,
incidentally whose name is Jade Taylor, and the two immediately find
themselves getting along. Jack enjoys the attention from the young
woman and they enjoy a round of beers together. Ready to call it a
night, Jack offers the Jade a ride back to Lakeview when he learns
her car is out of commission due to a recent accident. Jade
misinterprets his offer and suggests he stay the night with her,
Jack immediately declines and drops her off.
-Jack spots Carly having dinner with Nick and assumes the worst when
he sees Nick holding her hand and trying to kiss her. Thinking his
wife is cheating and furious with rage, an angry Jack heads back up
to Jade's room. Jack asks if her offer of staying the night still
stands, and the young woman apparently admits it does. Jack and Jade
passionately kiss, and the spoiler says he practically manhandles
her as they close the door and rip off clothes. The spoiler said its
hot, sweaty, and really raunchy one night stand that is full of pure
lust.
Jack is later stunned when Carly confronts him and admits that the
guilt is eating away at her. Confident that his wife is about to
admit to having an affair with Nick, he is dumbfounded to learn that
Carly is playing Nick with the hopes of getting him fired. He is
sickened to realize he is the one who cheated. Jade approaches Jack
and Jack warns her to stay away from his family, he is married and
his wife can never find out about their one night stand. It would
destroy her. Jade admits she is leaving Oakdale. What she was
looking for she could not find. Jack is relieved and confident that
Carly will never find out.
Only a development changes those plans- Jade learns that she is the
niece of Lily, and decides that she is not going anywhere and stays
in Oakdale, for the sake of her new friend/cousin Luke, and the
possibility that she may have feelings for Jack. Signs indicate that
Nick finds out about the one night stand between Jack/Jade and that
the two join forces to destroy the Jack/Carly marriage.

ATWT FEBRUARY SWEEPS
Valentine's Day won't exactly be a time of celebration for most of
Oakdale's residents, according to ATWT's JP who offered up all kinds
of reasons why not.
Emily Wants Answers:
Paul might think that he can rest easy, having faked his suicide,
but it may not be quite that simple. "Everyone thinks Paul's dead"
says JP. "But Emily is starting to wonder a little bit. Shes
starting to get a handle on the fact that something is not all that
it seems. So that becomes a pursuit for her." And what of Paul's
personal nurse? "Meg is trying very hard to keep Paul's secret for
him," continues JP, "And then her relationship with him gets very
involved.
Will and Gwen Struggle, Babs and Hal scheme:
Although they're taking very different approaches, Barbara and Hal
each work to come between Will and Gwen., believing it's best for
the teens. "They are trying this sort of 'tough love' approach," JP
explains. "And it will have consequences. It'll move to something
that gets Will and Gwen into more trouble before it gets them out.
Will Nick Make a Move on Carly:
If Jack thinks it was tough watching Nick replace him on the force,
how might he feel if the young buck takes his place in Carly's
life? "Nick is vulnerable to Carly," says JP with a smile. "He has a
thing for her and it impairs his judgement at one point. But I
wouldn't call it a triangle. There's no question he poses a threat,
but it may not be be in the way that one would think."
Can Holden Accept the Truth About Luke?
As suspicions take root in Holden's mind in regards to Luke, the
Snyder clan just might be torn asunder yet again! "He's not yet
willing to talk to Lily about this because he doesn't understand
it," JP explains. "He's in a state of denial. He's not coming out
and saying, 'I think my son is gay, and I'm scared.' It's a way of
having a little deniability. He's got a long way to go before he
understands. And then, something happens, of course, to complicate
everything and spin it in a new direction.

* Here are February Sweeps scoops from CBS SID:
Fatal Attraction
"Nick, Phyllis, Sharon--so much happens, I don't know where to
begin!" chuckles Smith. "It really is one of those months where if
the viewers miss a day, they're going to miss something!" Indeed,
Nick and Phyllis continue their sizzling affair, despite all their
efforts to stem the attraction they feel for each other. Hints
Smith: "Think business intrigue, think snowbound, think Nick and
Sharon's significant 10th anniversary... Nick and Phyllis are two
people who are desperately trying to resist the electricity that
sparks [when] they're in the same room, but fate and circumstance
have other plans for them."
Will Brad & Victoria's Love Survive?
Victoria and Brad's engagement will face a few twists, thanks in
large part to Ashley's legal problems. "As the press latch on to
what they see as a sordid story of a murder, it will drag poor
little Abby into it," reveals the scribe. "Brad is forced to make
some very challenging decisions with regard to Victoria and their
engagement. And we build to a very dramatic, very unexpected--not
obvious--infidelity. But is it Brad or is it Victoria?"
Ashley's Biggest Trial
"The story of Tom's murder culminates in an unexpected fashion--and
that culmination is stunning and very tragic for the Abbott family,"
promises Smith. Will the truth finally come out...or will Ashley go
to jail for a murder she didn't commit?
Lauren Learns a Secret
As Michael struggles to defend Ashley, Lauren discovers just how
much her hubby hated Tom. "She learns a secret about Michael that
could result in prison time for him," shares Smith. Lauren is hardly
likely to turn her spouse in...but will she ever be able to look at
him the same way again?
Colleen And Lily Cause Trouble!
Returning to town, "both Lily and Colleen have romantic agendas--
Lily toward Daniel and Colleen toward JT." And where does that leave
Mac? "An unexpected nightmare has a huge impact on her relationship
with JT and Kevin as well. And I'm not talking about the nightmare
of Colleen coming back!"
Battle Lines Are Drawn
Nikki and Phyllis' spa venture "reignites the battle between Victor
and Jack," Smith teases. "This is building toward a huge springtime
story with the Abbotts, the Fishers, and Victor and Nikki, all part
of the intriguing mix."

News:
* Word has it that Y&R won the Writers Guild Award, beating out ATWT
& OLTL. Congrats to Y&R. Despite the dismal writing over the past
year, Y&R is still ahead of the rest by far.
* According to TVGUIDE, Jerry Douglas (John) has been let go from
Y&R! The character will be sentenced to 7 years in prison after the
storyline wraps up.
* From TVGUIDE: Kristoff St. John (Neil) is staying according to
TVGUIDE. Although Kristoff St. John's contract negotiations got
unusually close to the wire, the Young and the Restless star — who
has played Neil Winters since 1991 — tells TVGuide.com he is
now "committed to three more years in Genoa City." As viewers saw
last week, Yolanda (Chene Lawson) abruptly skipped town after Neil
rebuffed her seduction attempt. For his part, St. John feels
relieved that Y&R's writers changed their minds about playing out an
infidelity scenario. "It would have been very disrespectful for Neil
to step out on Dru with their foster son's mother," he says. "Neil
has too much dignity and integrity for that."
That said, it sounds like Y&R has something much juicier planned
for the Denzel of daytime. "There's some major, family-related
trouble coming up for Neil and Dru," St. John teases. "We're trying
to bring back Malcolm, but with Shemar Moore doing so well on
Criminal Minds, I don't think we'll be able to get him. If we have
to, we will do the story without him. But this is some major stuff —
and I don't know if all's well that ends well for Neil and Dru's
marriage."
* Peter Bergman (Jack) sat down with CBS for an interview about the
goings on with his character. Click here to read it.
Betrayed
Times are about to get more and more complicated for Jack
Abbott as the days pass. With his father in the hospital, his sister
suspected for murder, his girlfriend trying to take her business
elsewhere and having a secret affair with Nick Newman -- who knows
what will happen next? CBS.com sat down with PETER BERGMAN to get
his take on all that Jack has to contend with these days.
CBS.com: What's going on with Jack lately?
PETER BERGMAN: Well, quite a lot. Jack's in this horrible
predicament. His sister has been accused of murdering Tom. Jack has
a hard time believing that she would do that. Then Jack learns that
his father in fact shot Tom. Now Jack's deal with the devil is that
his sister who is innocent so she has a good chance at getting off
on this. They can't really prove that she killed him...Jack thinks.
So Jack is gambling, if that is true, both of them get off. If Dad
steps up and says, "I did this," only one person gets off. This is
the most uncomfortable deal Jack has ever made in his life and
Jack's been making deals his whole life. This is an awful deal. Add
to that, his personal life is really off balance. So, in a normal
situation he's got Phyllis to turn to for comfort, he's got that
part of his life together so he can deal with whatever he has to do
with Dad and Ash. But that part of his life is crazy right now. It's
always been wacky. They fight, they get back together, they fight --
it's part of being Jack and Phyllis. But this time
something's different. Something feels weird and Jack can't put his
finger on it. Normally, I can find my way to Phyllis' heart. That's
never been our problem and somehow that's a problem now. Something's
going on, Jack doesn't get it. So that has him way off center.
CBS.com: So, is that the reason he hasn't been supportive of
her business venture?
PETER BERGMAN: No. That's a bad business venture for Jabot.
CBS.com: He wouldn't just support her idea because it's
something that she wants?
PETER BERGMAN: It's the wrong thing and the wrong time. It's
just wrong for Jabot right now. It's not a bad idea -- it's a clever
idea and Jack has said as much. It's a very clever idea, for the
future maybe, for some other time, but not right now.
CBS.com: Are you saying that Jack's decisions are based on
pure business?
PETER BERGMAN: Solid business decisions. This is a bad idea
for Jabot right now. My father concurs, everybody that I care about
that works at Jabot concurs. My sister agrees, my father agrees.
CBS.com: So then why is he so opposed to Phyllis taking her
idea elsewhere?
PETER BERGMAN: Wait a minute. This was an idea developed at
Jabot for Jabot. My Jabot employees are going to leave and do that
idea somewhere else? Try to do that at CBS. [Let's say,] one of our
[Y&R] writers decides, "I've got a great idea for Phyllis and
Jack...oh but wait, I'll take that idea to NBC once Jack Smith [Co-
Executive Producer and Head Writer] says no to it." What do you
think Jack Smith is going to do? He's going to sue her a--!
CBS.com: Right, but Jack's personally involved with Phyllis.
He can't cut her some slack?
PETER BERGMAN: Even with personal involvement...business is
business. And, ok, push me to the corner, you had to go to Victor?
I'm not going to stand by and watch that. You go be one of Victor's
girls? I'm not going to stand for it.
CBS.com: In life, do you think that if someone close to you,
even family, came to you with an idea that you didn't think was the
best idea, do you think you could still be supportive due to the
fact that you're close or family related or should you always give
the hard advice?
PETER BERGMAN: One of the things that's been hard for Jack
to learn over and over again is business and romance do not mix.
Business and family are a difficult thing. Bring anyone outside of
the family in and you got some problems with family and Jabot. But
somehow Dad and Ashley and I have been able to work this thing out.
But relationships and work are a difficult thing. It's like loaning
friends money. It's a tough thing for friendships. It's a tough
thing for Jack to be working with Phyllis in the same business. But
now, Jack has bent over backwards to make Phyllis' life at Jabot as
good as he can and as soon as he feels like she's there doing great
work, she decides it's not enough for her. So she has this idea and
it's not a good idea for Jabot. So, come up with a better idea for
Jabot. I'm happy to support you. And that was Jack's approach to the
whole thing. If family comes to me, going back to your question, I
say, "Hey, you're family. I want to make this work. Let's figure out
a way that you and I can work together and do this. This
isn't it though. Come back tomorrow if you want to. Come back
anytime you want. I want to work with you, you're family. We can
make this work." And that's Jack's approach to this. Only after I
say that to you, you go [somewhere else] with the idea. I'm going to
cut your legs out from under you before I'm going to let you take [a
company] idea elsewhere.
CBS.com: It's interesting because when you explain it in
that way, it's understandable. But when you're watching the
show...Jack comes off like a big jerk for not supporting her.
PETER BERGMAN: Yeah. That's how it should be. You see, I'm
working with a great actress who can sell her angle of it too. In
the perfect world, on Tuesday, you think he's right and on
Wednesday, you think she's right. That's a perfect world. And if
we're doing our jobs really well you can see both sides -- it's he's
right, she's right. That's the heartbreaking part of love...they're
both right.
CBS.com: It takes two to tango.
PETER BERGMAN: They both want to do the right thing. No
one's trying to hurt anybody. They're just sticking by their guns.
And that's when people get hurt.
CBS.com: Nick and Jack have always had a bond and mentor
relationship. How betrayed is Jack going to feel if and when he
finds out about Nick and Phyllis' affair?
PETER BERGMAN: You have no idea. On every front this is so
wrong. My God this is a married man Phyllis. This is like my little
brother. This kid was my step-son. I taught him how to play
baseball. This is somebody I deeply care about, whose marriage I
deeply care about. This is, and never can go unsaid, this is Victor
Newman's child. Everything that could be wrong about this, is wrong.
So, what do I think Jack's reaction is going to be? I think it is
going to be apocalyptic. I think it is going to be cataclysmic. You
wouldn't want to be in the same room when he finds out.
CBS.com: Year after year there seems to be more fuel added
to fire of Jack's hatred toward Victor Newman. And you always
wonder, what else could there be? But somehow the writers keep
coming up with more and more.
PETER BERGMAN: That's right. Look, Victor stepped away from
the business for awhile. Nicholas is in there. You think Jack wants
to go after Newman right now? Nicholas is there at the helm.
[Jack's] not going to pull a dirty trick. I don't want to hurt this
kid. He's like blood to me. And once I find out [about the affair],
do you think gloves are going to come off? I'd say yes. This is
personal now. This is not business anymore. All holds [will be]
barred. All gloves [will be] off.
CBS.com: Can't wait for that. The story is perfectly
intertwined.
PETER BERGMAN: It's complex because Phyllis hasn't had the
relationship with Nicholas and his family.
CBS.com: When you get the scripts and you find out how the
story is going to unfold, do you still get excited about it?
PETER BERGMAN: Love it. Love it. Absolutely love it. I am
looking forward to the day that Jack finds out with a kind of glee I
can't tell you. I'm setting it up today. I set it up yesterday. And
I've been doing this just long enough, Jack hasn't a clue.
Something's different. He can't figure it out. Something's going
on...
CBS.com: And Jack can't fathom that Phyllis would be
interested in someone else?
PETER BERGMAN: It never crossed his mind. Could I play it
otherwise? Sure, I could play it otherwise. Is there more value down
the road if I don't play it? [Absolutely], yes! Jack hasn't a clue.
That never crossed his mind that there was another guy and were
there another guy, Nicholas would be the last person he would
consider as a possibility.
CBS.com: Do you continue to be surprised by the stories the
writers come up with?
PETER BERGMAN: I am amazed for fifteen years now. Amazed.
They keep coming up with compelling, powerful, interesting stuff.
You'll never hear me watching the monitor in this building
badmouthing writers. I cannot believe they start with an empty page
everyday. Oh my God -- with this many characters and to feel this
well looked after. It's just incredible.
CBS.com: Going back to the whole dilemma with Ashley, why do
you think Ashley didn't go to Jack immediately for support and
advice?
PETER BERGMAN: Jack will spend forever trying to answer that
question. Why, why didn't you come to me? I could have helped. I
could have fixed it! And the question [Ashley] could [ask], "Why the
hell weren't you aware Jack? You live in the same house. You're
aware of nothing? You're lost in your own stuff." You don't think
Jack had some of that going on? Believe me, he does. What's wrong
with me? Look what's happened to my family. I was living under the
same roof with these people. I had no idea. What kind of son is
that? What kind of brother is that?
CBS.com: It just shows how other parts of your life can
consume you and you end up spreading yourself too thin.
PETER BERGMAN: Exactly. And Jack is spread thinner than he's
been in a long time. Mind you, he's new to Chancellor Industries.
He's up to his ears in running a major conglomerate. Jabot is a
little part of Chancellor Industries. He hits the ground running in
the morning. And the core of that is Phyllis and that's our center.
So, he's lopsided in everything he's doing. Even if he could deal
with this normally, right now he knows things just aren't right. And
he's not coming up with quick answers because his life's off-center.
CBS.com: So it seems like this is going to be a potentially
explosive year. What are you hoping for Jack this year?
PETER BERGMAN: I want a few things but if we're not going to
level the playing field and make Jack, with Chancellor Industries,
the other titan in the room, then get me out of Chancellor
Industries and I'll come back to Jabot and work with all these
people on a regular basis. But we haven't shown Jack at Chancellor.
We haven't shown him in his new seat of power. We haven't shown that
he's every bit as deep-pocketed and powerful as Victor Newman now
and wow, wonder what's going to happen when they butt heads the next
time. I've done what I can do and now I'll go back to just running
Jabot or something like that which is now a failing company. Word is
out that Ashley, the President of the company, is a murderer and
products are not jumping off the shelves. I like to work. I don't
care if it's your storyline or my storyline. I don't care at all. I
like to work but I don't care who's scene it is, I like being in it.
What I get to bring to it is that I deeply care. Interview me about
Jack -- I care a lot about th is. And so I care a lot
about the character that [my castmates] are playing too. I like
working with everybody here.

While mourning Gus, Harley hits the sheets with Mallet (sorry,
Dinah). Too bad Gus later turns up alive with Alan, held captive by
a backburner blond. Sandy goads Jonathan into misbehaving in an
effort to turn Tammy against him.

Harley ready to move on with her ex?
At the same time, Gus sees his opportunity to escape the cabin. Is

Both realizing it was the day to make their annual video message for
the children Marah and Shayne, Josh and Reva agreed they had to
inform them of their separation. With sorry and utter remorse, the
estranged couple sat before the camera, and their recent resentment
was replaced with sentimental tears at the uncertainty of where this
would lead. "Your father and I are taking a break from each other,"
Reva said, her sadness growing impossible to hide. "A little time
apart," Josh added, trying to soften the blow. "We're a family, and
that hasn't changed. Because where you are hasn't changed who you
are, at least not in the ways that count," he insisted. As usual, KZ
and RN were nothing less than brilliant. It wasn't just the honesty
of their emotions and their talent, it was their skill in conveying
it to the audience. In a word...bravo!

Matthew Bomer Scores Pilot..., ... and then it doesn't happen
CULT (The WB) - Matthew Bomer ("Flightplan") has been tapped for the
lead role in the drama project, which has been given the green light
to produce a pilot. Rockne S. O'Bannon ("Farscape") is behind the
Warner Bros. Television-based hour, which had previously been given
a pilot commitment. Bomer will play Jeff Sefton, who's described in
the casting notice as: "26. Jeff is a smart, great looking guy who
dropped out of MIT to support his younger brother when their parents
went missing 3 years ago. He presently works as a pool cleaner in LA
so that his brother can attend college - a sacrifice that Jeff tries
to mask with a smart, wry sense of ironic humor. When his brother,
Nate, goes missing, Jeff discovers Nate's obsession with the tv
series "CULT" and the unsettling subculture of the show's fans. He
enlists Chloe who is a PA on "CULT" to help get clues about his
brother's disappearance." Also on board is Yves Simoneau ("The
4,400"), who will direct the pilot from a script by O'Bannon.

The News: Harley and Mallet Have Sex
After the police retrieve Gus' bloody jacket and wedding ring from
the crash site, Harley heads to a bar to drink away her pain. She
nearly goes home with a stranger who looks like Gus. Mallet stops
her. He brings her back to their hotel and tries to comfort her. It
escalates to comfort sex. The morning after "Harley is in a panic
because of what she thinks this says about her, and about her and
Gus," says RB. It will get worse when Gus returns to SF.
Buzz
The twist that Jeffrey masqueraded as Richard--in bed, no less--was
bad news for GL's Cassie, but good news for Bradley Cole. "It's nice
to get to reveal some of [his past]," smiles the actor. Still, Cole
hopes that Jeff retains his position as SF's international man of
mystery. "It's a good thing that not everything about Jeffrey's past
is revealed, because that's a part of his character: the mystery,
the intrigue. 'Who is this guy and where is he from?' "
The List
GL's Island. With his Thurston Howell-esque accent, how long before
GL's Quinn starts calling Lizzie "Lovey"?
Sneak Peeks
Highlight of the week-Wed. Feb. 1: Gus is the star this week, as
viewers learn what really happened the night he kidnapped Alan--and
who is holding the men captive.
Lizzie schemes to keep Ava away from her man.
Reva refuses to sink to Olivia's level.
Tammy is taken for a ride.

Hit or Miss
Hit-GL Goes Straight to the Video
The editors liked the combination of humor and moving moments in the
Reva/Josh Wednesday episode. "By capturing a slice of SF life on
video, they helped breathe life back into GL."
Copy this look: 8 pics of Mandy Bruno
Soap Opera Style-What's been your biggest beauty blunder?
BE: "Not plucking my eyebrows in the 80s. I was trying to do a
Brooke Shields thing--very big and bushy. But she kept them tidier
than I did. I just let them grow wild. Not good."
GT: "I was looking at some pictures the other day and I used the
crimping iron. It was way past the '80s, so the crimping iron was
not such a good idea. That needs to be retired."
Mail Call: These Wednesday stand-alone episodes are interesting.
Wish I'd said that
Reva and Josh discuss her sympathy for Jonathan.
Reva: Of course, Tammy and Jonathan remind me of us.
Josh: Yeah, only this time, the part of "Reva Shayne" is being
played by Jonathan Randall.
What is the last movie you saw?
Nicole Forester: "Grizzly Man, the documentary about a man who goes
to live with the bears and then is eaten alive. Very cheery
(laughs). I rented Being Julia and I thought that was fantastic.
That topic was relevant to me as an actress, and Annette Bening's
performance was beautiful."
---------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------
2 small spoilers, Billy/Buzz/Olivia/Josh and Mel/Jeffrey
So, in mid-February they will finally address something that has
been driving me nuts ... why no one has spilled the beans on
Olivia's spiking Billy's drink.
Buzz will tip off Olivia that Billy is going to tell Josh the truth
about it, and that will give her time to come up with a story to get
off the hook. She will somehow convince Josh that it was an
accident. It still doesn't explain why no one has said anything yet,
but at least it won't be forgotten.
Another bit of info that I can't really make heads or tails of: Mel
will play some part in Jeffrey's "big secret." How would Mel know
what Jeffrey did in San Cristobal? It's a mystery, but nice to hear
talk of Mel.

SOW Jeffrey Spoiler Article, Jan. 31 Issue
From SOW 1/31/06
The Jig is Up for GL's Jeffrey
Cassie learns Jeffrey is a royal liar this week on Guiding Light
when she confronts him about impersonating her late husband, Prince
Richard.
"He says, 'I always knew this day was going to come'," previews
Bradley Cole, who plays the doppelganger. "He's anguished, nervous
and afraid of how she's going to take it all, but it's also a
relief. He can't bear to keep it inside anymore. He tells her he
stepped in for Richard whenever there was a chance he might be shot
at public events, state affairs, speeches, that kind of thing."
Cassie is crushed, then shocked by what happens next. "Jeffrey drags
her to Richard's grave and says, 'This is why you're mad. You're mad
at me, sure, but you're also mad at [Richard], because he's not who
you thought he was. He didn't share everything with you. He lied to
you, too'," outlines Cole.
But that isn't the worst of it. Jeffrey recalls bedding Cassie while
impersonating Richard. "He's not lying to her, but he's not
divulging everything, either," demurs Cole.
You can say that again! In a flashback, "Jeffrey is coming from some
function where he has been impersonating Richard and spending time
with Cassie," reveals the actor. "She's had a few drinks and starts
seducing him, thinking he's Richard. He's doing everything he can to
resist, but they were intimate together in every sense of the word."
But he's not about to reveal that to her," says Cole. Not yet,
anyway.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------------------

Daytime Dial, Week of February 6th
Cassie struggles to move beyond Jeffrey's betrayal, unaware that he
has another bombshell to drop.
Harley lets herself believe that Gus is alive, and uses Mallet for
emotional support.
Tammy plans her future with Jonathan.

~Spoilers~, February Sweeps
Soaps In Depth
ATWT FEBRUARY SWEEPS
Valentine's Day won't exactly be a time of celebration for most of
Oakdale's residents, according to ATWT's JP who offered up all kinds
of reasons why not.
Emily Wants Answers:
Paul might think that he can rest easy, having faked his suicide,
but it may not be quite that simple. "Everyone thinks Paul's dead"
says JP. "But Emily is starting to wonder a little bit. Shes
starting to get a handle on the fact that something is not all that
it seems. So that becomes a pursuit for her." And what of Paul's
personal nurse? "Meg is trying very hard to keep Paul's secret for
him," continues JP, "And then her relationship with him gets very
involved.
Will and Gwen Struggle, Babs and Hal scheme:
Although they're taking very different approaches, Barbara and Hal
each work to come between Will and Gwen., believing it's best for
the teens. "They are trying this sort of 'tough love' approach," JP
explains. "And it will have consequences. It'll move to something
that gets Will and Gwen into more trouble before it gets them out.
Will Nick Make a Move on Carly:
If Jack thinks it was tough watching Nick replace him on the force,
how might he feel if the young buck takes his place in Carly's
life? "Nick is vulnerable to Carly," says JP with a smile. "He has a
thing for her and it impairs his judgement at one point. But I
wouldn't call it a triangle. There's no question he poses a threat,
but it may not be be in the way that one would think."
Can Holden Accept the Truth About Luke?
As suspicions take root in Holden's mind in regards to Luke, the
Snyder clan just might be torn asunder yet again! "He's not yet
willing to talk to Lily about this because he doesn't understand
it," JP explains. "He's in a state of denial. He's not coming out
and saying, 'I think my son is gay, and I'm scared.' It's a way of
having a little deniability. He's got a long way to go before he
understands. And then, something happens, of course, to complicate
everything and spin it in a new direction.

Storyline Rumors
Park West:
Carly goes undercover, tired of Nick's flirtations, and decides to
use it against him. Her plan- she plots to seduce the young man who
has a thing for her, use that against him, and get him fired. She
accepts Nick's dinner proposal in the coming weeks, slyly suggesting
they'll go as friends. Yet she dons her sexiest dress ever.
-Jack is frustrated with his home situation, and feels lesser of a
man. He heads to the bar to let loose his frustrations, and knocks
back a couple of beers. Jack meets a lonely looking young woman,
incidentally whose name is Jade Taylor, and the two immediately find
themselves getting along. Jack enjoys the attention from the young
woman and they enjoy a round of beers together. Ready to call it a
night, Jack offers the Jade a ride back to Lakeview when he learns
her car is out of commission due to a recent accident. Jade
misinterprets his offer and suggests he stay the night with her,
Jack immediately declines and drops her off.
-Jack spots Carly having dinner with Nick and assumes the worst when
he sees Nick holding her hand and trying to kiss her. Thinking his
wife is cheating and furious with rage, an angry Jack heads back up
to Jade's room. Jack asks if her offer of staying the night still
stands, and the young woman apparently admits it does. Jack and Jade
passionately kiss, and the spoiler says he practically manhandles
her as they close the door and rip off clothes. The spoiler said its
hot, sweaty, and really raunchy one night stand that is full of pure
lust.
-Jack is later stunned when Carly confronts him and admits that the
guilt is eating away at her. Confident that his wife is about to
admit to having an affair with Nick, he is dumbfounded to learn that
Carly is playing Nick with the hopes of getting him fired. He is
sickened to realize he is the one who cheated. Jade approaches Jack
and Jack warns her to stay away from his family, he is married and
his wife can never find out about their one night stand. It would
destroy her. Jade admits she is leaving Oakdale. What she was
looking for she could not find. Jack is relieved and confident that
Carly will never find out.
-Only a development changes those plans- Jade learns that she is the
niece of Lily, and decides that she is not going anywhere and stays
in Oakdale, for the sake of her new friend/cousin Luke, and the
possibility that she may have feelings for Jack. Signs indicate that
Nick finds out about the one night stand between Jack/Jade and that
the two join forces to destroy the Jack/Carly marriage.

___________________________________
From SOD:
Shake ups coming for B&B? Casting rumors are flying backstage at
B&B. Here, we set the record straight:
Rumor: Antonio Sabato Jr. will be leaving soon - Now that Dante may
be the father of baby Dominick and Felicia will soon exit the
canvas, the buzz is that there's no more story left for the Italian
hunk. Not so, says Dante's portrayer. "They're writing some good
stuff for me," smiles a confident Sabato. "There are a lot of great
story options. I think it's only going to get better. It's not a
huge cast, so we're always working"
Rumor: Felicia is not going to die after all - Though we previously
reported that her fate was up in the air, Felicia will succumb to
her cancer. "Felicia will die," confirms Brad Bell. So, why is her
picture listed in the show's opening credits? "Lesli is worthy of
being in the credits," says Bell. "What a great actress. She has
exceeded my best-case scenario."
Rumor: Deacon is coming back - Not in the near future, according to
Sean Kanan. "I talked to Brad recently, but there are no immediate
plans to bring me back," the actor says. "The door has been left
open for Deacon at some point." Kanan also nixes scuttlebutt that
he's been auditioning for other soaps. "If I came back to daytime,
it would B&B."
Rumor: Joesph Mascolo will leave B&B to reprise Stefano on Days -
Despite little air time lately, Mascolo isn't returning to Salem
anytime soon. "Massimo is coming back into the picture in a big
way," promises Bell. "He is going to be a proponent of Brooke and
Ridge, and he'll really go nose-to-nose with Stephanie." That's good
because Days insider reports, "The show isn't playing the Dimera
family right now. It seems like they're trying to get away from that
kind of storytelling."
From SOW:
Ridge seduces Brooke
Unable to win Brooke over with words alone, Ridge puts the moves on
her this week on the B&B.
"Brooke has been cool as an ice cube," sets up Ronn Moss. "He can't
seem to break through, so he just keeeps trying - beating his head
against that wall called Brooke. It's crazy that he expects her to
come back to him."
Brooke would agree, but Ridge finally starts to make headway when he
goes on a late-night medicine run for RJ. "Ridge wants to prove to
Brooke that he's fully committed to her and their children, so he
offers to pick up RJ's prescription," explains Moss. "Brooke is very
grateful, and it allows him to plead his case one more time."
Then, after the two help Bridget throught a very difficult time with
her baby, Ridge pulls out the big guns. "He asks Brooke if the turn
of events with Bridget will bring her back to Nick, because they
shouldn't," previews Moss. When Brooke reaffirms that Nick is off-
limits, "it becomes a seduction of words and memories. Ridge starts
to get physically closer to her to gauge her reactions and see what
his effect on her is."
And then he goes in for a kiss. "He knows that in her heart she
loves him," says Moss. Will Brooke respond like she has in the past?
Soaps In Depth:
Will more secrets surface?
Executive Producer and Headwriter Bradley Bell has been a student of
history in the last six months, not only revisiting the
circumstances which led Eric and Stephanie to launch Forrester
Creations but also outing the long buried secret of James and
Taylor's deathbed tryst at Big Bear. "In this case, it was time and
maybe overdue for Taylor to have a flaw," says Bell of his decision
to bring the scandal back to the surface. "This character was
considered flawless, or at least she seemed that way in Ridge's
eyes. Now, this brings new dimension to the character."
Not only did addressing Taylor's history with James help create new
drama in her marriage, says Bell, it also gives Hunter Tylo a new
acting challenge. "It's great to draw that out of history," Bell
explains. "Taylor doesn't have to do anything more. In using
something from her past, she can still retain her character."
Considering how deftly the show used this past scandal to shape
current storyline, does Bell have any more incidents from B&B
history that he'd love to expose in a dramatic fashion? "Yeah," he
answers. "I have a big one. But I'm not going to reveal it-it's a
secret."

February Sweeps, posted by LC at www.bridgefans.net:
TRAGEDY FOR BRIDGET
Brooke fights her feelings of love for Nick and sacrifices her own
personal happiness in order to secure a brighter future for her
daughter. But in the end, any fear Bridget might have of losing her
husband to her mom or anyone else is overshadowed by a much larger
worry. Can she survive the kind of pain no mother should ever find
herself facing? And how will this twist of fate impact her marriage?
HAS FELECIA BEEN KEEPING AN EVEN BIGGER SECRET?
Even while dealing with her own crisis, Bridget stands by her
promise to care for her sister's child. But is it possible that
Dominick isn't actually Nick's child? That's exactly what Dante
wonders after flashing back to his own night of passion with
Felicia. As he contemplates the timing, the hunky Italian demands
that a paternity test be run on the child. He then turns to Bridget
with a request which she never would have considered in the past.
But by the end of the month, she has shocking news for Nick and
Brooke!
RIDGE PURSUES BROOKE
Old habits die hard, which might explain Ridge's determination to
recapture the special love that he and Brooke lost. And although
there was a time when the lovely lady would have done anything to be
with Ridge, times have changed. When Brooke finds herself in the
impossible situation of being torn between two lovers, she must
decide not only where her heart truly lies but which man's heart she
will break into a million pieces.
TAYLOR FALLS APART
The end of her marriage hits Taylor harder than anyone could have
predicted. As she begins to make some very destructive choices, can
Hector ride to her rescue? Will his love and support prove strong
enough to help the beautiful doctor get past not only her depression
but a bad habit which could put her and others at risk.

From YR Hangout
Feb. Sweeps Spoilers
These are from the latest CBS Soaps In Depth Feb 7, 2006.
Fatal Attraction
"Nick, Phyllis, Sharon--so much happens, I don't know where to
begin!" chuckles Smith. "It really is one of those months where if
the viewers miss a day, they're going to miss something!" Indeed,
Nick and Phyllis continue their sizzling affair, despite all their
efforts to stem the attraction they feel for each other. Hints
Smith: "Think business intrigue, think snowbound, think Nick and
Sharon's significant 10th anniversary... Nick and Phyllis are two
people who are desperately trying to resist the electricity that
sparks [when] they're in the same room, but fate and circumstance
have other plans for them."
Will Brad & Victoria's Love Survive?
Victoria and Brad's engagement will face a few twists, thanks in
large part to Ashley's legal problems. "As the press latch on to
what they see as a sordid story of a murder, it will drag poor
little Abby into it," revals the scribe. "Brad is forced to make
some very challenging decisions with regard to Victoria and their
engagement. And we build to a very dramatic, very unexpected--not
obvious--infidelity. But is it Brad or is it Victoria?"
Ashley's Biggest Trial
"The story of Toms murder culminates in an unexpected fashion--and
that culmination is stunning and very tragic for the Abbott family,"
promises Smith. Will the truth finally come out...or will Ashley go
to jail for a murder she didn't commit?
Lauren Learns a Secret
As Michael struggles to defend Ashley, Lauren discovers just how
much her hubby hated Tom. "She learns a secret about Michael that
could result in prison time for him," shares Smith. Lauren is hardly
likely to turn her spouse in...but will she ever be able to look at
him the same way again?
Colleen And Lily Cause Trouble!
Returning to town, "both Lily and Colleen have romantic agendas--
Lily toward Daniel and Colleen toward JT." And where does that leave
Mac? "An unexpected nightmare has a huge impact on her relationship
with JT and Kevin as well. And I'm not talking about the nightmare
of Colleen coming back!"
Battle Lines Are Drawn
Nikki and Phyllis' spa venture "reignites the battle between Victor
and Jack," Smith teases. "This is building toward a huge springtime
story with the Abbotts, the Fishers, and Victor and Nikki, all part
of the intriguing mix."
_____________________________________________________________________

As The World Turns Previews & Spoilers;
Week of February 6, 2006
SoapOperaNetwork.com – Thanks to Jade, Luke is able to keep his
secret a bit longer; Lily learns the truth about Jade; Will and Gwen
go on the run again after Barbara accuses Gwen of injuring her;
Carly takes a job at a strip joint; Carly manipulates Nick; Jennifer
receives an important message; Emily & Henry work to find Meg.
As Predicted, Barbara Accuses Gwen of Injurying Her
After accidentally pushing Barbara, Will goes into shock after
realizing what he did. His mind kicks into overdrive. He realizes
that Gwen will somehow be blamed for what happened. The teens leave
Barbara in the room while they escape. As Jennifer and Dusty are on
their way to see Barbara, she tells Dusty that she's concerned for
Barbara due to her losing Paul and her on-going estrangement from
Will. Dusty doesn't seem to feel much sympathy for the woman as he
believes she brings her problems on herself. When they get to
Barbara's room both are shocked to find her on the floor. They rush
Barbara to the hospital, and afterwards Jen calls Will. Will doesn't
want to go, but is reminded how suspicious it would look if he
didn't. A guilty Will goes to see his mother and apologizes for
hurting her, unaware that Babs can hear every word he's saying. She
uses this to her advantage and when she wakes up she tells Jennifer
that she remembers what happened and would like to make a statement
to the police. When Will walks back into the room, he overhears
Barbara telling Margo that Gwen tried to still steal from her and
when she was caught, she attacked her. Will proclaims that Barbar is
lying, coming clean that it was he who pushed his mother, but it was
an accident. Barbara snaps back that Will is trying to cover for
Gwen. Margo tells Will that he is to report to the police station
and bring Gwen with him. Will tells Gwen what happened and that they
need to leave now or Barbara will have them thrown in jail.
Maddie's Disgust Leads Her To Will & Gwen
When Margo tells Casey, Maddie & Nate what happened, Maddie becomes
upset with Casey when he shows no compassion for Will or Gwen.
Maddie takes Nate up to the roof and is surprised to find her Will &
Gwen on the roof. She gets ready to turn them in, but Will and Gwen
are able to convince her to reconsider. Maddie helps them by taking
them to the Metro. Will is able to disable the alarm there and he
and Gwen make a temporary home. She is caught by Casey while she's
out getting supplies for them, but is able to cover and keep their
location private. Margo overhears and questions Maddie on any
information that she has about the other teens. Maddie lies (so much
for her being a new person right?) and sends Margo in the opposite
direction.
Paul Reaches Out To His Sister
Emily and Paul realize that in order to prove Paul is alive; they
need to find Meg first. They go to the Snyder Farm and talk with
Emma, unaware that Paul has returned to town to try and undo the
damage he has done. Paul learns of the incident between Will &
Barbara and becomes worried. Elsewhere, Jennifer makes a public plea
to her brother Will and begs him to come home. When Paul sees
Jennifer on TV, it affects him and causes him to come up with a new
plan. Jennifer later bumps into a woman who said she could sense
Paul and tells Jen that her grief about her brother is misguided.
She leaves with Dusty but is bombarded with thoughts of Paul. It
becomes revealed that that the man who sent the woman was in fact
Paul.
I Guess Stalking Laws Don't Exist In Oakdale
Nick and Jack are ordered by Hal to work together on the gambling
case. Nick believes that there are people at the local strip joint
who can help him solve the case and is eager to do some undercover
work there. Carly also happens to be at the police station and
overhears everything. She follows Nick to the Galaxy Strip Club,
determined to get Jack's job back and find some dirt on Nick to get
him fired. She follows him into the club and is offered a job as a
waitress. She accepts and is later spotted by Nick. She swears to
him that Jack doesn't know she's there and is only working there to
earn money for her family. They agree to keep each other's secrets
and go their separate ways…until Nick finds the bracelet that she
dropped.
Nick could have told on Carly, but instead he covers for her and
says he's only there regarding their case. When he and Carly are
alone, he tells her the only reason he came by was to return her
bracelet. Carly lets her guard down and thanks Nick for returning
it, purposely being kind and considerate to Nick, knowing that he is
interested in her. After misleading Jack as to why she has to go
out, she leaves for work. Carly is forced to return home when the
babysitter she hired is unable to make it due to her own child
becoming ill. Things go from bad to worse when Carly's car won't
stop, so she ends up accepting a ride from her new "enemy" Nick.
When Carly gets out of Nick's car, she is surprised to see Jack
standing at the door.
Jade Makes A "Shocking" Proclaimation
Even though Luke passed the breathalyzer test, Holden still believes
that something is affecting his son. Luke is about to reveal what's
wrong, his victim, named Jade, awakens and recognizes Lily. Lily is
noticeably uncomfortable and visibly disturbed when Jade reveals
she's been watching them for weeks. Jade then tells Lily she's happy
to see her mother's face. She admits to them, she is the daughter of
Lily's late sister Rose.
Lily refuses to believe the young woman and says that Rose never had
any children. Jade tells them that she was given up for adoption
when she was younger and has proof, showing them papers from the
Little Flower of Hoboken orphanage with Rose's name on it. Lily
tells Jade she wants to speak with her adoptive parents, but Jade
pleads with her not to do so. She claims that her parents don't
understand her and will be hurt that she is looking for her real
mother. When Jade tells Lily she'll leave, she tells her it's too
late to leave and they'll work something out in the morning.
Holden tells his son that they are not finished just yet, but Luke
thanks his newfound cousin for taking the attention off him. The two
teens bond after Jade realizes they are alike. The next day, Lily
finds a way to get Jade out of her house. Lily doesn't trust Jade
for some reason, but softens her position after learning that Jade
is in fact Rose's daughter. Lily then emotionally officially
welcomes Jade into the family.

Kristoff Has More 'Restless' Days
Kristoff St. John, who has played the role of Neil Winters since
1991, has re-signed with The Young and the Restless. Although it was
rumored that St. John was opting to leave the show, the actor has
decided to ink another three years on the daytime serial.
St. John tells TVGuide.com that he felt that it would have been
disrespectful had the show played out an infidelity storyline
between Neil and Yolanda because of his relationship with Drucilla,
played by Victoria Rowell, and was relieved it did not go forward.
The actor teases that the Winters will be facing more obstacles
along the way with Lily's homecoming, played by daytime newcomer
Davetta Sherwood, and other events that could ruin the Dru/Neil
relationship.
Barbara Crampton Returns To Genoa City
BARBARA CRAMPTON will return to The Young and the Restless for a one-

trouble with Ashley Abbott (Eileen Davidson) and Brad Carlton (Don
Diamont) in an episode to air Tuesday, February 7.

Bauer Clan Comeback?
February 4, 2006
Long ago came the news that Guiding Light had put out a casting call
for Leah Bauer, Rick and Mel's infant daughter. The insider buzz
said the show planned on aging the baby Bauer to teenhood.
But now head writer David Kreizman says that Leah will be aged
slowly and will not be suddenly returning to Springfield at age 18.
The scribe says it is important to rebuild the Bauer family and to
show Rick and Mel as parents.

episode on Wednesday, February 8. Jonathan struggles with his inner
demons this week as the pressure of dating Tammy begins to get to
him. And he finds himself haunted by Nate, who taunts him about
dating his cousin. Will Nate's message from beyond the grave drive a
wedge between Jonathan and Tammy and give Sandy exactly the
opportunity he's been looking for? Stay tuned!
Gay Romance in the Works?
February 1, 2006
Circulating on GL message boards far and wide is this little tidbit:
David Kreizman is really proud of the gay storylines being done on
GH and ATWT so much that he plans on copying it. A GL casting call
for two men for contract roles in their early 20's or late teens is
being sent out.
The Cancellation Rumor
February 1, 2006
The hottest "buzz" for GL fans this week, is a newly revived
cancellation rumor for GL and ATWT. A poster at the message board,
Soap Opera Buzz said: "If you didn't know already, Guiding Light and
As the World Turns are in Major Danger of Cancellation... If the
ratings don't increase soon, you will see these shows off the air by
June."
While some fans are debunking this rumor as just another rumor
started by a disgruntled viewer, others are worried that this is a
leak from the studio and might not be just a rumor. Regardless, it
can't hurt to join the fight to save GL. Check out our Don't Kill GL

February Sweeps Previews
Reva vs. Olivia
Josh is very into Olivia this February because, oddly enough, his
relationship with the brunette beauty is a lot less complicated than
his marriage to Reva. And while Josh and Liv enjoy flirting (and
maybe more?) Reva is wondering when and if she should drop the
little bombshell that Olivia pushed Billy off the wagon. She's ready
to rekindle with Josh, but she also knows that the same problems are
still there.
History Repeats
Gus' homecoming should be interesting as Mallet and Harley have
grown closer during his absence. Dinah is trying not to freak out,
but she's feeling like the odd man out and is afraid that it will be
all too easy to repeat the mistakes she made with Hart... including
shooting him.
Cousin Complications
Although the kissing cousins are out loud and proud (just in time
for Valentine's Day!) the road will still be rocky for the duo.
Jonathan, while happy at heart, still has problems and doesn't deal
with things like most people would. Look for Tammy and Jonathan's
problems to grow bigger and bigger.
Alan's Wrath
Now that Alan's back in Springfield, those who betrayed him should
be on their guard. He's out to get revenge, but he's also got some
big secrets that are bound to come out. The secrets are about things
that happened between Alan and the rest of his family before he
left.

--From Soap opera Digest and Weekly Insider (about all soaps)
~Soap Opera Weekly
Do these two strike you as characters who can keep their hands off of
each other? Exactly. So it was slightly amusing when GUIDING LIGHT's
Mallet (Robert Bogue) and Dinah (Gina Tognoni) attempted to abide by
a
"no sex" rule on a recent date. GENERAL HOSPITAL's Skye and Lorenzo
tried a similar thing — with similar results. We keep track of it all
in our Top 10 Plus section.

The Top 10 Plus
What Weekly editors are buzzing about...or not.
1. Now that Robert and Holly are back on GENERAL HOSPITAL, how about
a
crossover to meet Alistair and Rachel on PASSIONS?
2. Tic-Tac-d'oh: GH's Luke trying to cure the dying islander boy with
breath mints was fitting, since it left a bad taste in our mouths.
3. GUIDING LIGHT's Mallet and Dinah made a chastity vow for their
date
just days after GENERAL HOSPITAL's Alcazar and Skye made the same
pact.
4. Why was AS THE WORLD TURNS' Emily dressed like a cossack's widow
for Paul's memorial?
5. At least GL's Olivia tried to be tactful while reminding Josh that
nice guys finish last.
6. ONE LIFE TO LIVE's Evangeline told Michael that John needed to
"exorcise" his demons — while John was at the gym with Cris
"exercising" them.
7. No wonder PASSIONS' Noah is an EX-paramedic: He'd rather chase
after the perp than give first aid to a dying Maya.
8. Since JAKE is no longer IN PROGRESS, John Stamos could be the next
familiar face to return to GH. Isn't it about time Blackie Parrish
got
paroled?
9. What is DAYS OF OUR LIVES doing to its viewers? They're expected
to
laugh at the store staffer flirting with Patrick one minute, then cry
over Zack's "pick me up from school" cell message to Hope the next?
10. GL's Harley getting busy with Mallet was rough enough for GusH
and
Di-et fans. But it was on Gus' special Wednesday episode!
11. Now we know what GL's Beth has been doing on the back burner all
this time: working out. She picked up the unconscious Gus like he was
a child.
12. Everyone keeps talking about what a great "record" Billie has on
DAYS. Her driving record may be clean, but they seem to have
forgotten
she went to jail for drugs and prostitution.
13.The worst part about Austin's highstyle takeover on DAYS is that
the delightful Genesis Rodriguez won't be getting any more airtime as
Carrie's secretary, Becky.
14. Daytime is going ape! There's a chimp on GH, and B&B's Ridge
brought in monkeys and birds to re-create his wedding to Brooke.
15. Why couldn't Emily have dressed up like the Lakeview maid instead
of Henry? Because ATWT likes to dress Trent Dawson (Henry) up in
women's clothing.
16. After ALL MY CHILDREN's Erica stabbed Zach, why wasn't there any
blood on that knife?

Why We Clapped
THE YOUNG AND THE RESTLESS' Michelle Stafford proved it's the little
things that count as she made the most of a week of performances
without having the kind of "big moments" that usually lead to
Applause, Applause victory. Phyllis smoldered at Jack without
exploding; dazzled investors in the boardroom; and comforted bed
buddy
Nick. Stafford revealed many sides of Phyllis (opponent,
businesswoman, nurturer) with understated power that never
overwhelmed
a scene, but enhanced it. She attracted notice without drawing
attention away from what was important in a sequence. Just as Phyllis
ups the ante in poker with the boys, Stafford raises the bar for
actors, and so won top honors for Issue 7.
Listening Station
•On the Jan. 27 episode of ATWT, Bon Jovi's "Have a Nice Day" played
in the background of Mike and Katie's engagement party at Yo's.
•Liz Phair's "Wind and the Mountain" played on Jan. 31 as GL's drunk
and delusional Harley danced with "Gus." "Queen of Hearts," by Juice
Newton, accompanied Gus' "Inside the Light" episode on Feb. 1.

The We in Weekly
•From Editorial Assistant Mala Bhattacharjee: A few weeks ago on The
WB's SUPERNATURAL, Dean (Jensen Ackles, ex-Eric, DAYS) made a
tongue-in-cheek crack about soaps being "terrible" — feeding into a
viewpoint that a lot of prime-time viewers actually have. So, it gave
me a solid sense of satisfaction to catch guest star Kathleen Noone
(Mrs. Wallace, PASSIONS) driving this week's episode into high
emotional gear. Noone was pitch-perfect in "Route 666," an episode
which balanced the menace of a haunted truck with issues of
interracial marriage and racism. She outshined series regulars Ackles
and Jared Padalecki (ex-Dean, GILMORE GIRLS), and proved that when it
comes to mixing things that go bump in the night with an entertaining
performance, she's never asleep at the wheel. (So, take that, Dean!)

Greetings From The Editor
Lynn Leahey
Dear Readers,
THIS JUST IN: Great news for YOUNG AND RESTLESS fans -- Kristoff St.
John (Neil) has re-signed with the show for another three years. St.
John tells Digest: "As much as they try to get rid of me, I just keep
sticking around." (We got the call from St. John after our most
recent
issue went to press. I love having an e-mail letter to give you
last-minute updates.) I would hate to have seen Y&R lose St. John. He
brings such depth and quiet force to his role, and has remarkable
chemistry with everyone in Neil's orbit. So congrats to Y&R, to St.
John, and especially, to we Y&R fans! As for storylines next week,
ALL
MY CHILDREN's Mardi Gras gala will include Dixie's return, as well as
Josh and Greg's explosive connection to Erica. And DAYS OF OUR
LIVES's
Jen and Frankie share a kiss! Read all about it in the new Digest.
Tales From The Interview
Reporting By Tom Stacy
I sat down for a feature interview with GENERAL HOSPITAL's Laura
Wright (Carly). And what can I say? She's a fun lunch date! Meeting
Wright in person, I could only imagine that initial sit-down with
Executive Producer Jill Faren Phelps, Head Writers Robert Guza, Jr.,
and Charles Pratt, Jr., and Maurice Benard (Sonny). With a boisterous
spirit and self-effacing sense of humor, Wright seemed to me (and
probably them) to actually be Carly. Then, talking about her family
life and the culture shock of going from the East Coast to the West
Coast (which as a native Pennsylvanian living in L.A. I can totally
relate to), Laura proved to be as unique and fascinating as each of
the other three women I'd gotten to know off-camera who'd also worn
Carly's designer shoes. Getting to actually meet and interview and
laugh with all four of GH's Carly's? Now that's what I call a great
perk of the job. During lunch as we talked shop, Wright proved
refreshing for several reasons. One: she actually ate. There's
nothing
worse than Read "All The Wright Moves" in the 2/14 issue of Digest.
The Water Cooler
Ever wonder what Digest editors talk about in the halls? Here's
what's
on our minds this week.
Lori Latusek: "I have to admit that since it aired on January 27th, I
have watched PASSIONS's Bollywood sequence three more times. It was
that entertaining. Yes, the whole India-inspired song and dance came
out of nowhere, but who cares? This soap has always been spontaneous
and thrives on veering away from the norm. When I showed our intern,
Sara, the episode, I followed the screening by popping in the good
ol'
theme-song scene that I can never get enough of. You know, when Gwen
(then-Natalie Zea) and Ethan (then-Travis Schuldt) were helping
Theresa give birth to Little Ethan at the Crane cabin. Theresa
hallucinated about the three of them singing "Breathe." Schuldt's
high
kick gets me every time. It's memorable moments like these that make
PASSIONS unique."
Elaine G. Flores: "I love soaps and I love Lifetime TV, so the
Reese's
Peanut Butter Cup of entertainment for me is when a soap star turns
up
in a Lifetime movie. I was happy to see Jonathan Jackson (ex-Lucky,
GENERAL HOSPITAL) starring in A LITTLE THING CALLED MURDER, a
delicious true-crime movie. His portrayal is charmingly creepy as he
balances malevolence and dark (very dark) humor. We all knew that he
was a talent when he was a kid on GH and he keeps getting better, so
I
totally suggest checking it out. After you've caught up on all your
soaps, of course."
Star Sightings
Trent Dawson (Henry, ATWT) was at Chita Rivera: The Dancer's Life at
the Gerald Schoenfeld Theatre on Broadway.... 24 baddie John Allen
Nelson (ex-Duke, LOVING, ex-Warren, SB) shopping in the check-out
line
at Ralphs in Sherman Oaks, CA..... Lauren Woodland (ex-Brittany, Y&R)
having lunch with a friend at L.A. hotspot The Ivy.

Soap fans are a vocal bunch -- see what fellow viewers are saying
about their shows.
"GH really shocked me today when Robin walked in on Robert and saw
her
dad for the first time in years! I cannot wait to see Kimberly
[McCullough, Robin] and Tristan [Rogers, Robert] rock those
father/daughter scenes. Thank you for bringing back Robert; Robin
really needs her dad. I also love Noah and Patrick. But Patrick is
being too much of a jerk to both his dad and Robin. He needs to get
his act together and stop hanging out with women who are using him.
He
can do better. And the chimp is cute." skyelofan25, via the Internet

Bridget makes a confession to Taylor.
Bridget struggles with her feelings for Dominick.
The Forresters and Marones mourn together at baby Nicole's memorial
service.
Dante makes a startling revelation at Nicole's memorial service.
Dante fusses with Felicia and Nick over the question of baby

Ridge pours on the romance and gives Brooke a special valentine in
his attempt to win her back.
MORE TO COME...
FEBRUARY PREVIEWS
Brooke has put aside her feelings for Nick for Bridget's sake, but
a larger worry might overshadow any fears Bridget has of losing her
husband. Can she survive the kind of pain no mother should ever have
to endure? And how will that twist of fate impact her marriage.
After Dante recalls a night of passion with Felicia when they first
met in Europe, he wonders if he could be the father of her baby and
demands a paternity test. Dante then makes a request of Bridget that
she would not have considered in the past, leading Bridget to give
Nick and Brooke some shocking news.
Ridge is determined to win Brooke back, but this is no longer the
Brooke who would do anything to be with him. Brooke soon finds
herself torn between two men, and in choosing where her heart lies,
she must decide which man's heart she will shatter in the process.
In the wake of the end of her marriage, Taylor makes some
destructive choices. Can Hector come to her rescue? And can his live
and support get her past not only depression, but a bad habit that

Please Note that anything marked as "RUMOR" is unconfirmed and may
not occur
Despite recent reports that stories could be reworked to keep
Felicia around, it looks like current plans are to follow the story
to its original conclusion with her death. However, B&B Executive
Producer/Head Writer Brad Bell states that he is often tempted to
change his mind every time he watches Lesli Kay (Felicia) at work.
Is Sheila coming back? B&B executive producer/head writer Bradley
Bell tells CBS SOAPS IN DEPTH that he and Jack Smith, Y&R's
executive producer/head writer, talk all the time and have discussed
how they can make the character of Sheila work within the context of
both shows. And since Sheila recently fled Y&R and Genoa City for
now -- she was last seen showing a photo to a plastic surgeon to
change her identity -- you never know if she might show up in L.A.
again to mess with the Forresters.
Soap Opera Digest reports that there are rumors that Prince Omar
might make a return appearance on B&B.

CBS Dominates Emmy Nominations; Y&R Tops Overall, GL Tops Acting
Noms
It's daytime television's biggest night. soapcentral.com has all the
Emmy angles covered. Select an option from below to link to more
information.
Nominations for the 33rd Annual Daytime Emmys were announced live on
Wednesday, February 8th from the set of the ABC daytime talk show,
The View. If it seems like this year's nominations snuck up on you,
fret not: the nominations were announced about a month earlier than
usual. It's all part of a year of radical changes for the awards
telecast.
This was a year in which the CBS soaps -- As the World Turns, The
Bold and the Beautiful, Guiding Light and The Young and the
Restless -- dominated the Daytime Emmy Awards nominations. In four
of the six acting categories, CBS amassed four of the five total
nominations in the category. In fact, the only category in which CBS
did not lead the tally was the Outstanding Lead Actor field, where
ABC earned three of the five nominations.
In the main categories, the CBS soaps grabbed 24 total nominations.
ABC was second with 10 nominations. NBC did not receive any
nominations. The Young and the Restless was the most-nominated
program overall with 18 nominations, the show's highest nominations
tally since 2000 when it received a whopping 28 nominations. Guiding
Light was second with 14 nominations, nine of those nominations
coming from acting categories making the CBS soap the most-nominated
soap in the acting fields. As the World Turns and General Hospital
placed third with 12 nominations.
First-time nominees were easy to find on this year's ballot. Four As
the World Turns stars earned this very first nominations this year.
Grayson McCouch (Dusty Donovan), a pre-nominee in each of the past
three years, earned his first nomination in the Outstanding
Supporting Actor category. He is joined in the field by castmate
Trent Dawson (Henry Coleman). Elsewhere on the ballot, Jennifer
Landon (Gwen Norbeck), daughter of the late Michael Landon, earned
an Outstanding Younger Actress nod and Jesse Soffer (Will Munson)
earned a nomination in the Outstanding Younger Actor category. One
Life to Live's Renee Elise Goldsberry (Evangeline Williamson) earned
his first-ever nomination for Outstanding Supporting Actress.
Goldsberry was her show's sole acting nomination this year. Veteran
soap opera actress Bobbie Eakes (Krystal Carey) earned her first
nomination this year for her work on All My Children. Eakes received
pre-nominations in 2003 and 2004 for her role as Macy Forrester on
CBS's The Bold and the Beautiful, but never before made the final
ballot. This year, her Outstanding Lead Actress nod, finally earns
her a place on the ballot.
Other first-timers include All My Children's Leven Rambin (Lily
Montgomery); General Hospital's Scott Clifton (Dillon Quartermaine);
Guiding Light's Gina Tognoni (Dinah Marler), Mandy Bruno (Marina
Cooper) and Jordan Clarke (Billy Lewis); and The Young and the
Restless' Bryton McClure (Devon Hamilton)
Conversely, while just about half of this year's nominees are
newcomers to the Emmy spotlight, only one of last year's winners --
Greg Rikaart (Kevin Fisher, Y&R) -- earned a return trip the Emmy
ballot and, of the 17 remaining nominees, only seven have previously
won Emmy statuettes.
There were some surprising oversights among the nominees. The Young
and the Restless, considered by many to be a shoo-in for Outstanding
Drama Series, was shut out of the Outstanding Lead Actor and Actress
categories. It had widely been expected that Joshua Morrow (Nicholas
Newman) and Sharon Case (Sharon Newman) would receive nominations
for their work in a high-profile storyline involving the death of
their on-screen daughter, played by Camryn Grimes (Cassie Newman).
Grimes was, however, nominated for her work in the Outstanding
Younger Actress category.
Another apparent oversight was One Life to Live actress Bree
Williamson (Jessica Buchanan/Tess), who had appeared throughout most
of 2005 in a "dual" role as a young woman battling an alternate
personality. Typically, Emmy voters are big fans of actors playing
more than one role. Elsewhere, newcomer Kelli Giddish (Di Kirby)
somehow missed out on an Outstanding Younger Actress for her work on
ABC's All My Children. The actress has received high praise from
fans and from various media outlets for her work over the past year.
NBC was once again completely shut out of the so-called "major
categories," as neither Days of our Lives nor Passions received any
nominations in acting fields. Conventional wisdom has always stated
that the two NBC soap's frequent excursions into fantasy-based
storylines have hurt their Emmy chances. Last year, actress Juliet
Mills (Tabitha Lenox, Passions) was the network's only acting
nomination. Mills' nomination for Outstanding Lead Actress also
marked the first time that a Passions performer had been nominated
in one of the Lead categories. Passions did, however, pick up two
technical nominations. DAYS fared much better, earning 5 technical
nominations and a nod for Outstanding Directing Team.
In another surprise, Jordan Clarke (Billy Lewis) earned a nomination
in the Outstanding Supporting Actor category for his work on CBS's
Guiding Light even though the actor does not have a contract with
the show. Though Clarke has been with Guiding Light since 1983, he
has been a recurring player since 1999. Guiding Light, meanwhile,
was a no-show in the Directing and Writing categories, even though
the show was the most-nominated in the acting categories and am
Outstanding Drama Series contender.
As alluded to earlier in this article, 2006 marks a year of major
changes for the 33-year-old awards ceremony. With each passing year,
the ratings for the primetime awards telecast, much like those of
the soaps themselves, have dropped. The broadcast rights for the
Daytime Emmys rotate between the three major television networks
each year. But according to industry sources, NBC, which has seen
its two soaps mainly absent among the Emmy nominations in recent
years, has decided that it will no longer be part of that rotation.
That leaves the broadcast rights to alternate between CBS and ABC.
For its turn as host of the Daytime Emmys, ABC has decided to shake
things up.
ABC Daytime President Brian Frons made the decision to forgo the
usual early-morning nominations and announce the nominations later
in the day on the network's talk show, The View. The move should
have given the talk show and the entire ABC lineup more facetime.
However, with the CBS soaps earning the most nominations, Frons
appeared less than enthusiastic as he sat in the audience.
As previously reported by soapcentral.com, this year's Daytime Emmys
will take place at a new venue -- the Kodak Theater in Hollywood,
California. This marks the first time that the Emmy telecast will
take place at the venue, which is usually associated with the
Academy Awards. It also marks the first time that the Daytime Emmys
will be held outside of New York City. For the second time in four
years, the telecast will span three hours instead of the usual two.
The Creative Craft Daytime Emmy Awards, primarily for the behind-the-
scenes crew members, will be presented at bi-coastal ceremonies held
on Saturday, April 22nd, in New York at the Marquis Hotel and in Los
Angeles at the Kodak Theatre Ballroom.
The Daytime Emmys will be held Friday, April 28th and will air on
ABC at 800pm.

SWEEPS SPOILERS
It's part of the nature of the business. GL Head Writer David
Kreizman talks to SOD and SID about GL's Sweeps Spoilers. Here is
what he had to say about your favorite stories from both
publications.
It's going to be a month of turning points in a lot of
relationships," teases Head Writer David Kreizman. "We're going to
see love stories of all varieties, [especially on] Valentine's Day.
Reva/Josh/Olivia/Billy "Josh was fed up with how complicated things
got with Reva," explains the writer. "In a weird way, it's a lot
less complicated with Olivia." Meanwhile, Reva has yet to reveal
that her rival is the one who pushed Josh's beloved brother off the
wagon. "It's always hanging over Olivia and Josh's heads. Part of
the reason that Reva hasn't dropped it yet is... well, then what? Is
she ready to declare to Josh, 'Okay, let's fix things' and then risk
screwing it up again? Because she's not 'fixed', and whatever drove
her to break up the marriage in the first place has not completely
gone away."
"Billy will realize that he has feelings for Reva and she's been the
one thing that he can hang on to as he's fighting for his sobriety.
She's become more than a friend to him. In the meantime, Reva has
something happen in her life that really makes her examine the
reasons that she pulled away from Josh."
Olivia/Frank/Buzz/Josh "Olivia takes a drastic step to try to really
win Josh. It takes a lot of twists and turns and ends up in a place
that we would never expect. Buzz and Frank will be a part of that."
Harley/Gus/Dinah/Mallet With Gus' return on the very near horizon,
will he come home to find Harley and Mallet much closer than they
were when he left? And where does that leave Dinah? "She starts to
get little hints of [what's brewing between Mallet and Harley], and
she tries very hard not to let it get to her," explains
Kreizman. "She's afraid and starts saying to herself, 'Here's the
first step. I start questioning Mallet, following him around a
little bit, and the next thing you know, I'm showing up on his
doorstep with a gun!'"
"Harley will have to accept that it seems like Gus is not coming
back. Mallet will be there to comfort her....Dinah is trying to turn
this new leaf, but little by little, things will start creeping in."
Jonathan/Tammy/Sandy Things may not be all roses and candy for
Springfield's most unconventional couple this Valentine's
Day. "Bigger and bigger problems will come up because even a happy
Jonathan has problems and will react to things differently than most
people."
"Sandy knows that the thing that would likely split Jonathan and
Tammy is Jonathan's violent nature and protectiveness. He hopes he
can get under Jonathan's skin enough to scare off Tammy."
Lizzie/Coop/Ava Coop learns the truth about what Lizzie has been up
to and she resorts to desperate measures to hang onto him. Ava's
feelings for Coop are getting stronger but she is not the type to
break up a relationship.
Alan Michael/Marina "Alan-Michael is expecting something that falls
through. Marina is there to take care of him. He's falling in love
with her. We're going to see why he's doing what he's doing and he's
going to step up his attempts to overtake Harley and Dinah."
Gus/Alan "The assumption is that both Alan and Gus are dead. We will
learn that the night they disappeared, a few things happened that we
didn't know about involving Alan-Michael and Beth. [Also] we will
learn how Alan and Gus got where they are. That's going to be a big
surprise."
Alan's return should leave those who betrayed him shaking in their
boots. But might he be hiding something? "There are some big secrets
about what happened between Alan and the rest of the family before
he left that are going to bite him in the end."
Jeffrey/Cassie Jeffrey has not yet admitted to Cassie that he slept
with her when she thought he was Richard. "That information is going
to fall into Josh's lap and it's going to be a big dilemma.
Ultimately, this is going to be a big breaking point in Cassie and
Jeffrey's relationship."

SOAP STARS REACT TO EMMY NODS
All of soapdom was buzzing on Wednesday when the Daytime Emmy
nominations were announced. Here's how your sudsy faves reacted to
all the big news....
First-time nominee Renee Goldsberry (Evangeline) had a mixed
reaction to being One Life to Live's lone acting anointee. "It's
bittersweet because I saw some great work on my show last year," the
supporting-actress contender told TVGuide.com. "I don't want to
single anybody out, but I can't help it: Bree [Williamson,
Jess/Tess], I thought was absolutely wonderful, [as were] John-Paul
[Lavoisier, Rex], Robin Strasser (Dorian)... I also thought that
Tari [Signor, Margaret], who was [pre]nominated in [my] category,
was really, really great. Michael Easton (John) should get a little
shout-out as well, because you're only as good as your partner."
"It was shocking that I was even nominated," said General Hospital's
class clown, Scott Clifton (Dillon). He has never won and doesn't
think his third time's a charm, either! "I had some stuff — Lindze
[Letherman, Georgie] almost dying in the hospital — and I didn't
really do anything that great with it. So this year wasn't a great
year for me, and I know I'm not winning."
Clifton is perhaps too humble, but we can't help but agree with his
prediction on the lead-actor race: "Anthony Geary [Luke] is going to
win. His [pre]-nomination tape was spectacular."
All My Children's Alexa Havens (Babe) was thrilled for her TV mom,
lead-actress contender Bobbie Eakes (Krystal). "What's so different
about Bobbie than most of the nominees is she is a comedic actress
as well as a dramatic actress," Havens said. "I think that gives her
a leg up on the others."
As the World Turns star Terri Colombino was tickled to see CBS'
nomination landslide. "I'm so happy for GL. My sister show!" she
grinned. As for ATWT's multiple acting nods, Colombino
enthused: "[Trent Dawson, Henry] is my partner in crime, so
obviously that's my first priority. But I'm so happy for Jennifer
Ferrin (Jennifer), who has put in so much this year, and Jennifer
Landon (Gwen), who's just a natural, and Jesse [Lee Soffer Will]....
Their love story makes me all excited about [our] show again!"
Young and the Restless vixen Tracey E. Bregman (Lauren) fielded
congratulatory calls all day, and made a fun one of her own as
well. "That's been the coolest thing about today," she said. "I
texted Michael Graziadei (Daniel) and woke him up around 8:15 am. He
was still in bed. I said, 'Get up! You're nominated!'
"I got so many calls from our cast, writers, and hair and makeup
people congratulating me," Bregman adds. "My first Emmy was in 1985.
For my prenomination tape [this time], I submitted the scene of
Michael's marriage proposal to Lauren. Christian LeBlanc was
adorable and so amazing in it that I never considered it my scene.
"[A bunch of my Y&R cast mates] sat and watched each other's reels
for hours one night, and Christian felt I should submit it. There
was no ego in the room. All the suggestions came from so much love
and support."

GH, Y&R PROS HONORED
The sudsy scribes of The Young and the Restless, as led by head
writers Kay Alden and Jack Smith, snagged outstanding daytime serial
honors this weekend at the 2006 Writers Guild Awards. Also of note,
General Hospital director Owen Renfroe and his team won soap-helming
kudos at the Directors Guild Awards last month.

CALLING ALL SOAP VETS
A cryptic casting call recently went out for a television show about
soap grads hoping to return to daytime. "At this time, we can't
really divulge much about the project," the industry notice
said. "We are just looking for those who had contract roles on soaps
and might be interested in returning to one. [Candidates must be]
recognizable as former soap stars, not day players."
Hmm... sounds like it should be called I Wanna Be a Soap Star...
Again. My short list of personal picks for ex-daytimers who oughta
get back in the suds: Actor-turned-artist Thom Bierdz (ex-Phillip
Chancellor III, Young and the Restless), Extra correspondent Michael
Corbett (ex-David Kimball, Y&R), the feisty Roberta Weiss (Flame,
Santa Barbara) and the fabulous Victoria Wyndham (Rachel/Justine,
Another World).

B&B's Ridge to Brooke: just once more!
For weeks, Ridge has been trying to woo back ex-wife Brooke with
little results, so for Valentines Day, he pulls out all the stops.
However, his timing is off-Brooke returns home from an emotional
farewell with Nick, the man she desperately loves who is married to
her daughter. "She walks in her bedroom not only to find Ridge
waiting for her, but there are candles, flowers and romantic music,"
says Ronn Moss. Unfortunately, Brooke is more annoyed than touched.
He reminds her that it's V-Day and presents her with a box- but is
ain't candy. "She opens it up to find some sexy lingerie, which
irritates her even more," chuckles Moss.Next he proffers a naughty
greeting card, and this time she tries to throw Ridge out-but he
refuses to go. "He says if she didn't like that card, he hopes she
will like one of the others," explains the actor. It seems Ridge
bought every card in the store and proceeds to dump them into an
overflowing heap on her bed. That gesture seems to soften Brooke's
resolve."She seems to finally hear what he has to say," says
Moss. "For a while, he's been trying to convince her that they're
destined to be together. Yeah, he wants to go to bed with her, which
is throwing her off a little bit."Ridge then asks Brooke to make
this the most memorable Valentines Day ever by telling him that
there's a chance for them to be together. "He asks her to dance to
the music on the cd," Moss notes. "They start dancing and he reminds
her that they have so many memories of their love and life."
That's when viewers will be treated to a montage of scenes from the
couple's earlier years to the birth of their son, R.J. The song that
will be playing, "Just once more," is the real life single from
Moss's just released cd, Uncovered."Ridge is really fighting to get
just one more chance with Brooke," explains Moss. But will he get
it?

newspaper columnist.
From Linda Hirsch ... GUIDING LIGHT: Coop doesn't want to hear
Lizzie's excuses after finally finding out that Quinn has been
funding her condo lifestyle. Olivia tells Buzz that she doesn't want
to screw up her friendship with him the same way she's screwed up
every other relationship in her life. Buzz gives Olivia permission
to never mention their making love. Frank tells Buzz he's got a
secret weapon in winning Olivia's heart: Buzz, whom he expects to
coach him on all the right moves. Harley has finally decided what
she wants to do with her life now that Gus is gone -- she wants to
come back to the force, with Mallet as her partner. Gus comes to and
sees Beth, who spins a story about how she found him and Alan and
rescued them from certain death, and now they're all stranded up
here, thanks to the storm. Alan discovers a recently dated receipt
and realizes that Beth has been out shopping -- which means her
story is a lie.

some billy.reva.josh details
This story line sounds increasingly interesting to me...
Reva and Billy will be involved in a car crash. There may be
drinking involved (there's at least an empty bottle involved.)
Despite his tough attitude toward Billy about working at Lewis,
getting sober, etc., Josh will still decide to cover for him and (I
think) lie to or mislead the police...
This should be some cool conscience-wrestling for Robert N. to play!

tells both Olivia and Reva to leave him alone. Why the sudden
outburst? What have these ladies done to alienate the man their
fighting over? Elsewhere, Alan-Michael surprises Ava in a most
inopportune moment. Where do they cross paths, and is all what it
seems? Across town, Harley has made a decision about her future.
What does it involve? It seems she's done with the corporate world
for now and is ready for a career change. What avenue does she want
to explore? Or should we say re-explore? Up at the cabin of
captivity, Gus sees Beth. Does he know she's the one behind the
kidnappings? Or does she spin a believable tale?

GL Alumni Pilot Castings
Figure there will probably be a few of these, so I'll start a thread
without naming anybody in the topic heading, and we can just keep
adding on to it...
--
HOLLIS AND RAE (ABC) - Laura Harris ("Dead Like Me") and Jaime Ray
Newman ("Stargate: Atlantis") have been tapped for the lead roles in
the drama pilot, about two 30-year-old female best friends, a
detective and a prosecuting attorney, who tackle criminal cases in a
small southern town. The former character, Hollis Chandler, is
described in the casting notice as: "28-32, a strong-minded
prosecuting attorney, attractive and bright. Hollis is a no-frills
Southern gal, divorced, with no intention of marrying again. Honest,
principled, with a droll sense of humor and a disdain for any formal
restraints, Hollis clearly enjoys her life, takes pride in her work
and cherishes her friendship with Rae. Speaks With A Southern
Accent." The latter, Rae Devereaux, then is detailed as: "28-32, a
Southern belle, attractive, intelligent and forthright. Rae is a
homicide detective, Hollis' long-time best friend. Clearly married
to her work, she's making plans to tie the knot, but her hesitation
to make the big commitment is palpable. There's a quirky energy
about Rae, an eagerness to experience life before settling down.
Speaks With A Southern Accent."
Also joining the cast is Frank Grillo ("Prison Break") as Henry
Callaway: "30-45. Rae's partner, this homicide detective is
attractive, thorough, matter of fact, and maybe the only person in
the story who doesn't speak with a Southern accent. A Yankee
transplant, he's still trying to navigate the territory, something
of a foreigner in Savannah, Georgia. Good at his job, he is clearly
intrigued by Rae; and his good looks are not lost on her. Speaks
With A Southern Accent." Callie Khouri ("Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya
Sisterhood") is behind the Touchstone Television/Bochco Productions-
based hour, which she'll direct from her own script. Khouri and
Steven Bochco then will serve as executive producers with Dayna
Bochco producing. Production is set to begin this spring in
Savannah, Georgia.
--
Previously reported: CULT (The WB) - Matthew Bomer ("Flightplan")
has been tapped for the lead role in the drama project, which has
been given the green light to produce a pilot. Rockne S. O'Bannon
("Farscape") is behind the Warner Bros. Television-based hour, which
had previously been given a pilot commitment. Bomer will play Jeff
Sefton, who's described in the casting notice as: "26. Jeff is a
smart, great looking guy who dropped out of MIT to support his
younger brother when their parents went missing 3 years ago. He
presently works as a pool cleaner in LA so that his brother can
attend college - a sacrifice that Jeff tries to mask with a smart,
wry sense of ironic humor. When his brother, Nate, goes missing,
Jeff discovers Nate's obsession with the tv series "CULT" and the
unsettling subculture of the show's fans. He enlists Chloe who is a
PA on "CULT" to help get clues about his brother's disappearance."
Also on board is Yves Simoneau ("The 4,400"), who will direct the
pilot from a script by O'Bannon.
This project got 'killed' in the UPN/WB merger into CW, but the
producers said they were going to try and shop it around now, so
maybe it's not DEAD-dead...
--
DAY BREAK (ABC) - Taye Diggs ("Kevin Hill") is reportedly close to

SOD/SOW, February 21st issues
Soap Opera Digest...
Spoilers...
Preview article about 'GL's Mystery Tryst' - The Coopers and friends
are together for the Wednesday episode for a Valentine's Day
mystery. Alan Michael and Marina escape to an inn for a romantic
weekend, and her family follows. Olivia tricks Josh into going with
her on the ruse that it is for business and invites all the Coopers
along so it's not obvious. The next morning Lizzie arrives to look
for Coop and finds a condom wrapper. Using re-created flashbacks,
the episode is a whodunit. The trip will change a lot of
relationships, some people will obviously end up closer and some
will end up further apart.
Rumor has it that Alan and Gus's kidnapper was supposed to be
Phillip and not Beth, but Grant Aleksander refused to return to the
show.

Billy?

an uncomfortable situation.

Love Vets...
This section features Josh and his romance roster highlights. One of
RN's answers...
SOD - Which of Josh's lovers was the most naturally romantic and why?
RN - If I were to say anyone but Reva, Kim and most Jeva fans would
beat me. I think romance is the centerpiece of the Josh/Reva love
story. And fighting, of course, which for them is a weird sort of
romance.

mistress Phyllis " It's turning into an affair, which is what they
never expected" says Josh " Before it was just straight sex, but now
these feelings are coming to the surface and causing complications"
It starts when the adulters conspire to meet at a hotel room for
another randy romp. " Now it's getting dangerous because they're
sneaking around and making plans, they can't get enough of each
other"
In preparation, frisky Phyllis goes lingerie shopping. Nick's wife
Sharon spots the redhead making the purchase, which Sharon later
mentions to Nick.
"Sharon thinks it's because Phyllis and Jack are getting back
together, but Nick doesn't know what to make of it. It's either
Phyllis is buying lingerie for Nick or Jack. Since he doesn't really
know, his curiosity is piqued"
But curiosity turns to frustration when Phyllis cancels. The reason?
Jack, who's bummed because of his dad's legal woes, needs his ex-
wife. " Nick gets a little upset that she's blowing off their
romantic interlude just so she can be with Jack" says Morrow.
It doesn't help his mood when Nick observes Phyllis and Jack in what
looks like a warm embrace. After they leave together, Nick gets
jealous. He than charges over to her office for an emotional
confrontation. " It's the first crack that this relationship isn't
so simple" says Morrow. "Nick shocks her by saying that maybe sex is
not enough, maybe he wants more than just getting naked and playing
around. He didn't plan on telling her that but there's something
inside him that triggers it and he can't help himself"
Someone not only observes them during the exchange but Nick is
caught completely off guard by Phyllis' response.

and needs time to rest.

Meg set her up, forcing a devastated Jennifer to realize that her

remains unconvinced. Lucinda manages to get Holden alone and tries
to convince him to demand a blood test.
Later, Jade asks Lily if she is pregnant. Lily denies it, but thinks
that it could be true. She takes a pregnancy test and later happily
tells Holden that she is going to have another baby! Holden, though
very happy, still wants Lily to have jade take a blood test. Lily
tells him no, confident in her belief that Jade is who she claims to
be. They make plans to tell their children and agree to include
them, and Jade, in choosing the name for their new relative. Jade
convinces Luke to take the girls out of the house so his parents can
have some alone time for Valentine's Day. Luke agrees and they go to
Emma's. Back at home, Holden is more concerned than ever that with a
new baby on the way, they need to find out if she's who she says she
is. Lily asks her husband to try and get to know Jade first. Holden
says he'll try; Lily promises if she senses something is wrong,
she'll ask for a blood test.

Last Updated: February 12
Back on Contract?
February 12, 2006
Fans are excitedly spreading the news that Michael O'Leary (Rick) is
back on contract with Guiding Light, after being bumped to recurring
in July 2005. Rumors are now circling the net that Liz Keifer
(Blake) and Beth Chamberlin (Beth) have also been asked to go back
on contract.
Cupid Rocks to Springfield!
February 12, 2006
Springfield will never be the same after Cupid finishes wreaking
havoc this week! It all kicks off with Coop learning that Quinn has
been footing the bill for Lizzie's high-price lifestyle, and
culminates with a 'Murder She Wrote' type mystery that climaxes with
flashbacks, fresh career starts and secret sex!
Alan-Michael and Marina decide to spend the night together at a
romantic country inn, but mid-tryst the Cooper family (plus Olivia)
arrive at the same inn. Deciding to stay the night, the mystery
really begins the next day when Lizzie finds a condom wrapper.
Suddenly the question becomes: Who did who?
Alan-Michael has the first flashback to a friendly flirtation with
Olivia, who quickly dropped the Spaulding heir when Josh showed up.
Then Frank interrupted Josh and his ex. Getting Olivia to come to
his room, Frank has a cupid-inspired surprise for her: The room is
filled with candles. Touched by the romantic gesture, Olivia plants
a wet one on Frank. But the smoke detector interrupts the interlude
and another flashback reveals that Coop and Ava started a fire which
set off the alarm.
Ava hops in the shower to get cleaned up when Alan-Michael shows up.
He thinks Marina is in the shower! Yet another flashback shows
Olivia sweet-talking her way into Josh's room, where she finds Reva
waiting for a good scrappy catfight. Josh, fed up with both women,
kicks them out and issues a cold rejection to Olivia. Running out of
the room in tears, Olivia finds Buzz in her room. He comforts her
and in the end they share a night of passion, which Olivia
immediately regrets the next morning. Buzz promises to keep the
tryst a secret, but then finds Frank wanting advice on how to win
Olivia's heart...
The next night, Cassie rescues Josh from a bad date and they have a
talk about what kind of woman Josh is looking for. Meanwhile, Mel
tries to convince Jeffrey to tell Cassie about the night he slept
with her while impersonating Richard. Josh overhears the revelation
and later informs Jeffrey that he will tell Cassie the truth.
Across town, Mallet gives Dinah a different kind of gift: A pink
toothbrush. Before Dinah can get offended by such an impersonal
gift, Mallet explains that the toothbrush is supposed to stay at his
place. He also clears out part of his closet for her. Warmed by the
gesture, Dinah starts to think her life is finally on the right
track. But Harley's decision is about to change all of that. After
making a blunder at the office, Harley decides it is time to leave
Spaulding and go back to the police department. She names Dinah as
her Spaulding successor and Mallet as her new police partner! Does
the "widow" have designs on her ex?
And poor old Gus finally awakens from his unconscious state and
demands answers from Beth, who pretends that she is trying
to "rescue" Gus and Alan. Later, Alan finds evidence that proves
Beth is lying. Will Gus ever make it home to Springfield? And will
Springfield ever recover from such a disasterous Valentine's? Stay
tuned!
GL Alums' Lucky Pilot Season
February 12, 2006
Pilot season is here again and GL alums are getting lucky this year!
Many actors who once roamed Springfield, will be popping up all over
prime time! Of course, some of this may change... that's just the
biz.
Frank Grillo (ex-Hart) has been cast in ABC's Hollis and Rae where
he will play a homicide detective. Taye Diggs (ex-Sugar) is still in
negotiations for the lead role of ABC's Day Break which is a drama
pilot, about an L.A.-based cop who's trying to stop the murder of a
loved one while trying to find the person who framed him for murder.
Hayden Panettiere (ex-Lizzie) has been cast on NBC's Heroes.
Matthew Bomer (ex-Ben) was cast in the lead role for the new WB show
Cult. However, the recent WB/UPN merger killed the deal. Sources say
the pilot is going to be shopped around to other networks. But Bomer
may not be interested, seeing as how he also landed the lead role in
ABC's Traveler.

~Soap Opera Weekly
Paging Dr. Drake! Ever since Luke (Anthony Geary) brought a deadly
strain of encephalitis back from the islands and infected the
residents of Port Charles - including his own un-Lucky daughter,
Lulu (Julie Marie Berman)- our editors have had GENERAL HOSPITAL on
the brain. See the germs (and one-liners) flying fast and furious in
our Top 10 Plus section.

•GH's Alicia Leigh Willis (Courtney) last airs next week.
THE TOP 10 PLUS
What Weekly editors are buzzing about...or not.
1. GUIDING LIGHT's Gus and Alan feared the food their captor gave
them was poisoned. But why go to the trouble of imprisoning them
(and cooking!) just to kill them?
2. ALL MY CHILDREN's Ryan hired a hacker to break into the
electrical grid just days after GL's Josh hired a pair of hackers to
break into FBI computers.
3. GENERAL HOSPITAL tipped its surgical mask to FOX's HOUSE M.D.
when Patrick, Noah, and Robin brainstormed on a white board to
diagnose the deadly Sweeps virus just like notorious soap fan, Dr.
Greg House. However, Patrick listed their Patient Zero as
Luke "SPECER." Does spelling not count in med school?
4. If Carrie was so upset about her employees on DAYS OF OUR LIVES,
then why didn't she head back to L.A. to be with them as the company
was dismantled and they lost their jobs?
5. Ridge's faux rain forest may not have wooed Brooke on THE BOLD
AND THE BEAUTIFUL but he probably attracted Luke's missing chimp
from GH.
6. Why would AMC TV boss Jesse think putting NEW BEGINNINGS'
supervising producer on the air would improve ratings? Is AMC
executive producer Julie Hanan Carruthers hinting at something?
7. GH's Luke went from deadbeat dad to father of the year: He gave
blood twice within hours to save Lulu. But then he waved a gun at
doctors...
8. DAYS' Roman has been living in a hotel for over a year. Exactly
how much does a Salem cop earn?
9. In case viewers didn't recognize the location of the quarantine,
GH helpfully provided it — "General Hospital" — with a 24-inspired
timestamp on Feb. 6.

WHY WE CLAPPED
It's generally accepted in soaps that happy = boring but it doesn't
have to be that way. Just ask ONE LIFE TO LIVE's Catherine Hickland,
who used her sparkling smile to dazzle viewers with a Lindsay who
was positively over the moon about RJ proposing to her. Only he
didn't —and she crashed hard. When Lindsay thought she had overheard
RJ's true intentions, Hickland threw her whole body into the
performance: She fidgeted in her seat, and entwined her fingers and
arms with nervous energy. When she got the bad news that she had the
wrong idea, her bubbly persona caved in and she became instantly
withdrawn — even physically recoiling from RJ. Hickland's deft
night/day transformation from joy to sorrow made us...well, happy to
award her Applause, Applause kudos for Issue 8.
LISTENING STATION
•ATWT was experimenting with subliminal messaging on Jan. 30: Cheap
Trick's "I Want You to Want Me" was playing as Nick flirted with
Carly. On Feb. 2, "Unwritten," by Natasha Bedingfield accompanied
Kevin persuading Luke to spend time with him. Then, Gwen
Stefani's "What You Waiting For" was playing at the strip club when
Nick confronted Carly on Feb. 7.

NIGHTWATCH
From Senior Writer/Editor Joe Diliberto:
•Raise your hand if you, too, were suspicious about how veteran
dirty cop Vic Mackey (Michael Chiklis) could have been outed by a
bug in the clubhouse on this week's episode of THE SHIELD. Still,
Vic's resulting sting on Lt. Kavanaugh of IAB was a nail-biter —
until Vic "shot" that drug-smuggler. Again, he would never do that
with so many witnesses. Finally, Forest Whitaker's portrayal of
Kavanaugh's meltdown marked the lieutenant as a truly dangerous
adversary — Vic has not seen the last of him.
THE WE IN WEEKLY
From Senior Writer/Editor Joe Diliberto:
•ATWT's Henry and Emily calculated from gas receipts that Meg was
traveling about 100 miles a day to see Paul — yet they made the 50-
mile one-way jaunt to the cabin in one commercial break. Even worse,
the half-dead Paul managed to walk back to Oakdale in just two
commercial pauses. Either Meg needs a hybrid car or she has no sense
of direction. And here's a new rule for soap cops: If you think
somebody is dead but there's no body, you MUST throw up a dragnet
around the memorial service — or any wedding — that's bound to be
taking place, because the "dead" just can't stay away from those
events.
IT'S MY PARTY
Hi, Associate Editor Tonya Lensch here. There's always a buzz in the
air when the Daytime Emmy nominations are announced and this past
Wednesday was no exception. News Editor Mark McGarry and I met up at
the ABC studios, where AMC and THE VIEW are taped, to watch the
nominations in a room backstage, then we hit THE VIEW's set after
the show to get actors' reactions. Nominees Scott Clifton (Dillon,
GH) and Renee Elise Goldsberry (Evangeline, OLTL) were beaming.
Terri Colombino (Katie, ATWT) was even a little teary-eyed — but it
wasn't because longtime co-star and good friend Trent Dawson (Henry)
finally scored an Emmy nod. She was overwhelmed meeting this year's
Lifetime Achievement Award recipient, Caroll Spinney, who has played
Big Bird and Oscar the Grouch on SESAME STREET for over 35 years. "I
used to watch him and now Julia (her 2-year-old daughter) does," she
smiled. "We love him." Then Mark bought me lunch because I beat him
on our Emmy predictions.Thanks, Mark. Congrats! to all the nominees
and good
luck on April 28.
Carolyn Hinsey here. Appearing on THE VIEW for the Daytime Emmy
nominations was fun this year. It really does feel like I'm sitting
around jawing with friends, albeit heavily made-up and highly-
charged friends. I was happy for a lot of the nods but sad for B&B
and OLTL that they didn't get recognized for Best Show. For my money
they were definitely in the top 4 in 2005. Next year!

Greetings From The Editor
Lynn Leahey
Dear Readers,
I was backstage in THE VIEW's greenroom when the Daytime Emmy
Nominations were announced, and it became clear early on that it was
going to be a big year for the CBS shows. Fortunately the ABC-heavy
group of actors on hand, there to announce the nominations live on
the show, were good sports and didn't grumble about the imbalance.
They were too busy catching up with old friends and introducing
themselves to new ones. Terri Columbino (Katie) was the lone AS THE
WORLD TURNS actress, but she had GENERAL HOSPITAL's Kimberly
McCullough (Robin) and Scott Clifton (Dillon) to keep her company on
the couch. Alexa Havins (Babe, ALL MY CHILDREN) also made her way
over to Terri to meet and greet. NBC West Coasters Austin Peck
(Austin, DAYS) and Heidi Mueller (Kay, PASSIONS) chatted up a storm -
- if they were annoyed their network walked away empty-handed in the
acting categories, they didn't show it. (The NBC shows did score
some technical nods.) ONE LIFE TO LIVE'S Renee Elise Goldsberry
(Evangeline) was so excited afte

Tales From The Emmy Nominations
Reporting By Mara Levinsky
An exciting morning in the soap biz! Jennifer Lenhart and I met up
bright and early at THE VIEW to catch the nominations live. We ran
into Cady McClain (Dixie, ALL MY CHILDREN; ex-Rosanna, AS THE WORLD
TURNS), who's no stranger to the Daytime Emmys, having picked up a
statuette for each of her daytime roles. Cady is well-known to both
Jen and me, as I cover AMC and Jen covers ATWT, and she was thrilled
to hear how well her old Oakdale cohorts had done in the
nominations. As soon as THE VIEW was done taping, we raced onto the
set to catch the reactions of Younger Actor nom Scott Clifton
(Dillon, GH) and first-time nominee Renee Elise Goldsberry
(Evangeline, OLTL), who's up for Supporting Actress. While Jen
grabbed Scott, I nabbed Renee, who beamed, "I'm so excited, so
grateful. It's really an amazing feeling." Picking the episode for
her reel was a snap, she said, thanks to a little help from her
friends. "I kind of knew what I really liked," she explained, "and I
have a lot of supportive castmates who had
se
Reporting By Jennifer Lenhart
After I chatted with Scott, who was taken by complete surprise by
the nomination ("I submitted the Christmas Eve show and I didn't do
anything in that besides go, 'You're gay?' " he joked), I noticed
Terri Colombino (Katie, ATWT) taking pictures with Carroll Spinney,
the SESAME STREET puppeteer who will receive the Lifetime
Achievement Award this year ... along with Oscar the Grouch. By the
time they were done posing, Terri was in tears. "I don't know what's
wrong with me," she groaned, as I gave her a hug. "I just got so
emotional. That show is so pure and good and has been for so long
that it's nice to have something like that, especially these days.
What really got to me was when he was talking to me as Oscar. My
daughter will be so excited!"
More Emmy Reactions
Brad Bell (Executive Producer/Head Writer, B&B) shares: "I'm really
disappointed for Katherine Kelly Lang [Brooke], John McCook [Eric]
and Jack Wagner [Nick], but am elated for all of the other
nominations for the show."
ABC Daytime President Brian Frons notes, "From the point of view of
the guy who's got the show in prime-time, watching [GH's] Maurice go
against Tony is going to be a highlight. It's gonna be loud!" On the
net's overall performance Frons says,: "I certainly feel happier
than probably the people sitting around at NBC. Watching them get
whipped, it's not appropriate. They have some really good people on
those shows and some really good material."
Type Set
Soap fans are a vocal bunch -- see what fellow viewers are saying
about the Emmy nominations.
"I am so thrilled that Maurice Benard (Sonny, GH) is nominated for
an Emmy this year! There is no one more deserving to be nominated
and win! Maurice consistently turns in amazing performances each and
every Sonny day, no matter what the material or story. I'm honored
to be his fan." C.N., Normal IL
"I was disappointed by the near total GENERAL HOSPITAL Emmy shut-out
when the nominations were announced this morning. There were glaring
omissions from the list like Dylan Cash (Michael) and Nancy Lee
Grahn (Alexis)...." J.H., Lombard, IL
"I just watched the Daytime Emmy announcements and would like to
know why DAYS OF OUR LIVES has not been nominated in three or more
years? The storylines are excellent and Melissa Reeves (Jennifer)
and Deidre Hall (Marlena) are excellent in their characters. This is
ridiculous." Tray92, via the Internet

Headline News:
24-Year Vet Jerry Douglas Leaves Y&R
It's the end of the line for long-time The Young and the Restless
star Jerry Douglas (John Abbott). After nearly two-and-a-half
decades the soap vet will be exiting the show this week.
Douglas hasn't been fired. His exit is chalked up to a storyline:
his on-screen persona will take the fall for the murder of Tom
Fisher.
But some fans are wondering if the top-rated soap can really afford
to ditch one of its longest-running cast members. And a cryptic
statement from the show's newly-appointed head writer does raise
some eyebrows. [Read related story: Behind-the-scenes changes at
Y&R]
"Jerry has been, and continues to be, an integral part of the Y&R
cast," said Lynn Latham in a statement.
Douglas joined the cast of The Young and the Restless in March 1982.
Prior to making his first appearance on daytime television, Douglas
appeared in numerous feature films, including "Mommy Dearest"
and "Good Guys Wear Black."
When contacted by soapcentral.com for comment on the possibility of
a return to The Young and the Restless by Douglas, CBS declined to
comment.
"Y&R does not comment on contracts, rumors or storyline
information," a spokesperson responded.
Douglas makes his final appearance - at least for now - on March
1st.

News
Y&R STAR GOES TO JAIL
In today's episode of The Young and the Restless, John Abbott gets a
seven-year prison sentence for shooting the vile Tom Fisher (Roscoe
Born). Daytime vet Jerry Douglas last airs on March 1, when the
Abbott patriarch heads off to the slammer. Is this the bitter end
for John? Not necessarily. Here, TVGuide.com gets the soap dish from
the man himself.
TVGuide.com: You've had more airtime in this tale than you've had in
years! I prefer to watch a pro like you over the teen rookies any
day.
Jerry Douglas: Thank you. Even if I die tomorrow, I have had one of
the greatest story lines an actor can ask for. I don't need more. If
there's more coming, that's great. I think the work we've done will
make them write more for John Abbott. I really want you to watch
what happens in the days after John's sentencing. I'm really proud
of the work of the Abbotts because it was painful stuff they have to
go through to say goodbye to John.
TVGuide.com: It's distressing whenever John has a stroke or loses
his memory. Years ago, Y&R made him "forget" his risky romance with
Mamie the housekeeper.
Douglas: It bugs me just as much as you when they do it as a cop-
out. The one time I thought the loss of memory was totally organic
to the story line was this time. When you are a normal human being
who's brought up with good values, it's shocking to shoot a gun at
someone. So John was upset and he drove his car, got into an
accident and had amnesia about what happened. I bought it this time.
It also gave Eileen Davidson (Ashley) and Judith Chapman (Gloria) a
great story of protecting John.
TVGuide.com: Indeed! It's all playing out unusually quickly for a
classically slow-paced show.
Douglas: I am thrilled with our new writer, Lynn Marie Latham, who
wrote for Ted Shackelford's (Will) old series, Knots Landing. She's
a very bright woman. With Lynn, the show will move at a faster pace;
she doesn't like to drag it out. In 30 days we took John from
remembering [Tom's] shooting to his sentencing. All the pain and
passion and twists and turns really juiced me up as an actor. I
loved it.
TVGuide.com: It was a hoot to see John watching over Lauren and
Michael's wedding with a gun in his belt.
Douglas: Eileen Davidson said to me, "You love walking around with
that gun! You can play your old hoods again." They all remember my
career before Y&R. In the '70s, I guest-starred as tough guys and
killers on a lot of cop shows.
TVGuide.com: Well, John looked like quite the tough guy!
Douglas: I asked if I could add a line after Paul (Doug Davidson)
gives me the gun and says, "Be careful, John." They forget the
backstory that Paul's father and I were Marines together! So I
say, "Paul, I was a Marine, remember?" And Paul says, "Sorry, John."
That way, the audience knows John is a tough dude. He can handle
himself because he is a self-made man who came from the streets.
TVGuide.com: It'd be fun to see you behind bars in an orange
jumpsuit, scrapping with the other inmates.
Douglas: They've talked about showing John Abbott in prison. I don't
know what the hell they're going to do. If they bring me back to do
prison scenes, I need advance notice so I can have four or five
days' beard growth and look edgy!

News:
Davetta Sherwood (NuLily) sat down with CBS for an interview about
her role on Y&R. Click here to read it. Also Jerry Douglas (John)
had an interview on his last days on Y&R. Click here to read it.
(See tvguide section of newsletter for JD's interview).
Sweet And Strong
Time makes the heart grow fonder, so the saying goes. And that was
definitely the case for Lily and Daniel. But now that Lily is back
in town, what will become of their love story? DAVETTA SHERWOOD
joined the cast of Y&R recently to take on this sweet but very
strong character. Find out how she plans to tackle the role of Lily.
CBS.com: Tell me about how your casting came about.
DAVETTA SHERWOOD: I auditioned about four or five months
ago. I had a very, very interesting audition with Marnie [Saitta,
Y&R Casting Director]. She said she liked me and said, "I'm going to
bring you in later this week to meet the producers." So we did that
and then I didn't hear anything. I just assumed [I didn't get it].
In most of the auditions [I go on] afterwards I just throw it away,
forget all about it. But not this one. I never thought about doing
soaps. I was just interested in the girl for some reason. And I came
back in I don't know how much later and I read again. Then I didn't
hear anything. Then I did a screen test and if you do a screen test
you know it's going to be between you and maybe one or two other
people. But that's not how it was. There were six of us. I was told
that was it, "We'll call you this week." Heard nothing. Then they
called and said, "We want to see you one more time to read with
Kristoff [St. John] the guy who plays Neil." Then I went to New
York, I was going to stay a w eek and a half and they
called me the next day. They said, "Come home." I came home; I read
with Neil, there were three of us. They called and said, "You'll
know tomorrow by noon." I was in contact with one of the other girls
and we were like, "OK, did you get it? No, did you? No." Ok, that
means that the other girl got it. Noon passed, one passed, two
passed, three passed, four came, Oprah went off -- they didn't call.
Then I got [a call] and they said, "Sorry but...you gotta start work
on Tuesday." So it was cool.
CBS.com: Who was the first person you called with the news?
DAVETTA SHERWOOD: My agent and then I called my mom on
conference call. And she kind of freaked out. That night she threw
together a quick get together. Lots of people came to the house to
say congratulations. That night while everyone was partying, I was
looking for an apartment. So, Saturday morning I went looking.
CBS.com: Where were you living?
DAVETTA SHERWOOD: In the Inland Empire, [California].
CBS.com: When you said that you weren't looking to get into
soaps, what were your hesitations?
DAVETTA SHERWOOD: Getting stuck, staying for too many years
where [other genres] wouldn't accept me and not being able to do
other work while I was doing Daytime, not being able to show my
other talents. There are so many things that I'm here to do.
CBS.com: You said that this character drew you in. What was
it about Lily that attracted you?
DAVETTA SHERWOOD: Replacing someone wasn't something I was
interested in. I wanted to create my own character. You can't really
recreate if you're replacing. But I decided to recreate Lily a
little bit and do some things that, I don't know, maybe the fans
wanted her to do before or didn't. I'm just going to bring myself to
the character but she's a little more defiant than I was at her age.
She has a lot of respect for her parents now and I wanted to show
that. I think a lot of parents of teenagers, especially of
daughters, can relate to this girl who thinks she knows everything
and wants to do what she wants to do. I want to be able to portray
that because I was kind of like that. I wasn't as bad as Lily.
CBS.com: Were the producers encouraging you to bring change
to Lily's character?
DAVETTA SHERWOOD: I think they liked where they were with
Lily, but I think they liked me in my audition because I was a
little more edgy and a little more in your face. The character that
I portray of Lily is not a baby. She's not whining, she's
like, "What?" She's strong. I think they like my spunk and that's
what I brought to Lily. I think the direction that I got from [the
producers] was to be able to play her strong and use that "fire"
when necessary. Because you're not going to see fire in every scene,
but when it's necessary, I know how to bring that out and I think
that's what they liked. That's what I like about her too.
CBS.com: Would you like to see Daniel and Lily be able to
keep their relationship a secret?
DAVETTA SHERWOOD: It's fun. It's fun to do that. Since I am
in Daytime, I want drama. Maybe Lily could find interest in someone
else.
CBS.com: Were you familiar with the storyline before coming
to Y&R?
DAVETTA SHERWOOD: No. The first episode I saw of Y&R was
when Lily left. I know that they were in love. I know about it but I
didn't get to see it. I think I'd like to finally maybe see it, not
so that I could portray Lily the same way, but just so I can
understand it better.
CBS.com: You've gotten a chance to work with all the actors
who play the Winters and Michael Graziadei (Daniel). How's that been?
DAVETTA SHERWOOD: Michael and I get along very well. We
laugh all the time. Kristoff [St. John, Neil] and Victoria [Rowell,
Dru] and Bryton [McClure, Devon], we all get along. We're having a
great time.
CBS.com: How would you describe your whole experience with
the show so far?
DAVETTA SHERWOOD: Welcoming, fun, exciting, fast, very
different. I'm learning so much. I go home at night and I'm
like, "What was that?"
CBS.com: Yes, the pace of Daytime drama is very fast.
DAVETTA SHERWOOD: Yes. And you should know already we're
trying to get one take. And then the long dramatic soap pause. I'm
getting real good at my pause. You gotta work on your pause if you
want to do Daytime soaps. [Laughs] That dramatic soap stare.
CBS.com: When did you realize that you wanted to be an actor?
DAVETTA SHERWOOD: A long time ago. Let's just say, if I
could talk to the world, if I could speak to the masses and play
hockey, then I'd be a hockey player. So, I'm not really interested
[in being famous]. It's fun to be famous I'm sure, it's fun to have
a lot of money I'm sure, but I'm more interested in being able to
talk where everyone's listening. Right now in 2006, that's how you
touch the people. That's who's listening. They're listening to
entertainment. We're running it right now. Whatever we say do, is
what the people do, especially young people. So like I said, if I
could play hockey and make them listen, I'd play hockey. Whatever
way I can talk to the people.
CBS.com: Where are you from originally?
DAVETTA SHERWOOD: New York. I'm from New York and another
direction [the producers] gave me was to lose the accent. I'm
working on it. I didn't know I had one until they said it's very,
very strong. I'm really working on that. I'm from New York. I've
spent some time in Maryland when I was younger.
CBS.com: When did you decide to move out to California?
DAVETTA SHERWOOD: My mom asked me when I was in 7th or 8th
grade. She said, "Are you serious about acting? Are you sure this is
what you want to do?" I said, "Yes." I went away that summer to
Massachusetts to a prestigious boarding summer school for six weeks
and when I came home, the day I got home, all my things were packed.
She said, "You're going to go for a month and stay with your uncle
and then I'm going to come too."
CBS.com: After you moved out, did you begin taking classes?
DAVETTA SHERWOOD: No, not right away. I do take classes now.
I think every actor should take classes. But no I didn't take
classes at first. I just started to audition for commercials. There
was never a time in my life, ever, that I thought I need to think
about doing something else or maybe this may not work. I never knew
that ultimate success didn't exist. I didn't know that some people
come to this town and leave this town with nothing. I didn't know
that. I thought you come to this town to get something and you get
it. My friends told me, "You think everything is possible. No matter
what is going on, you figure out a way to do it." So I never really
had a time where I thought, "Maybe I should just go back home." None
of this is a surprise to me. It just makes me excited. I'm happy
this happened, but I'm not surprised.
CBS.com: Having done work in film and television, what is
your favorite medium?
DAVETTA SHERWOOD: I like the freedom here. I can take off my
jacket in a scene and not worry if there's a mic attached or I'm
making a lot of noise. It's different here. I could pour the coffee
really, you can really eat the food that's on the plate. It's just
different. You're hanging out and you're talking and it's more real
it feels like. Less rules. There are always three cameras that are
there and they speak in theater terms -- stage left, stage right,
upstage and down stage and they don't mark your marks. They just
tell you quickly where your marks are and on what line you need to
move. So that adjustment has been a little different. Before you
mark's a mark of tape so you know where you're going to stand and
everything is layed out for you. And they don't have craft services
here. [Laughs] There's not as much catering, but it's kind of cool
because it leaves you to be independent and sort of 9 to 5. You go
to work and go home. You can come to work looking however you want
because they'll fix it. It's fun.
CBS.com: Many actors like the fact that they get a chance to
really get to know their character instead of always playing someone
new.
DAVETTA SHERWOOD: Yes. Here I'm Lily all the time. I do have
an opportunity to say you know maybe next month she can start being
more whatever. It's a little more fun to experiment.
CBS.com: Does Lily hold bitterness towards her parents
because they sent her away?
DAVETTA SHERWOOD: I think so. I think she's a little bit
upset about what happened. I think deep down Lily understands why
they did all the things that they did and the actions that they
took. She's just not happy with their decisions. She's just a young
girl and that's how we are. But I think she has a newfound respect.
CBS.com: Devon has a romantic interest in Lily now. Could
there ever be anything between them romantically?
DAVETTA SHERWOOD: I think she's totally oblivious to how he
feels about her. And he's hinting but she still doesn't get it.
Anything that's not Daniel, Lily can't see.
CBS.com: What are your personal outside interests?
DAVETTA SHERWOOD: Talking on the phone. A lot of my friends
are out of state. And so I like to speak to them often. I have two
good friends. I read a lot and I write. I want to direct and produce
and I've been writing. I wrote a one woman show. I'm writing a book
about my story. I'm publishing a poetry at the end of the year.
These are my goals. I've written them out, just like I've written
out my whole life and it's all happening. So I know that these
things are going to happen because I've written them first. Writing
definitely, and reading new books and I like to be alone. I like
independence. I want to work on my plays and decorate. These are the
things that I like to do. And then I'll find love someday.
CBS.com: Do you have any siblings?
DAVETTA SHERWOOD: I have a sister and a brother in New York.
They are younger. They have other interests. They are excited for
me.

Cousins in Love, Now Marriage?
February 25, 2006
Jonathan plans a surprise for Tammy this week with the help of Ava.
After Cassie reveals to Tammy that it was Jon who trashed Sandy's
room at The Beacon, Tammy tells him that he needs to stop going
after Sandy and let the restraining order do its job.
To make it up to her, Jonathan plans a big surprise, which Lizzie
believes is actually going to be a wedding. She tells Tammy this,
who quickly rejects the idea. Later, when Cassie and Jeffrey arrive
as invited guests, Tammy starts to think that maybe she and Jonathan
will be getting married after all. Tammy asks Cassie if she'll come
to the wedding and Cassie balks. Deciding she is tired of her
mother's disapproval, Tammy tells Cassie that she will always choose
Jonathan over her.
But is it really a wedding? Maybe so, because Tammy and Jonathan
will make love next week! Of course, that doesn't stop Sandy from
scheming to break them up. As Scott Bailey (Sandy) gets ready to
exit the show, Sandy gets ready to make it look like Jonathan has
killed him. But will his dangerous plan work? Stay tuned!
Baby on Board!

be a mother again! Apparently, Beth slept with Alan the night before
he got out of jail. Don't worry, there's no romance here, just Beth
trying to prove to Alan that she can be trusted.
The news of her pregnancy will jolt Beth out of her decision to let
Alan and Gus die in the cabin. In fact, it won't be long before Alan
is back in Springfield and planning his future with Beth. But wait,
what's this? It wasn't Beth who held Gus and Alan captive -- it was
one of her other personalities! The question is, was it Lorelei
turned evil or some new alter-ego that's just beginning to surface?
Billy: Drunk on Reva!
February 25, 2006
This week on Guiding Light, Billy asks Reva to give their romance
another shot. After she regains consciousness following the car
crash, he admits his feelings for her.
Billy kisses Reva and admits that he loves her and always has. But
Billy's declaration doesn't really register with Reva at first,
she's more concerned with him getting healthy again than she is
about a love interest at this point in her life. Could a rejection
from Reva make Billy hit the bottle even harder? She gently lets him
down and Billy decided to fess up.
Billy confesses to Frank that he was drinking the night of the
accident and is arrested. And Josh also has a confession, but it's
for Reva. Will she have to choose between the Lewis brothers once
again? Learning of Billy's arrest, Reva sends Josh to the police

Billy was intoxicated and if called to testify, will swear that

Who knew that Lisa Rinna (ex-Billie, DAYS OF OUR LIVES) could move
like that? Nobody did before the SOAP TALK host glided her way onto
DANCING WITH THE STARS with partner Louis van Amstel. Rinna won't be
the second daytime diva to dance away with the title — she and van
Amstel were eliminated right before the final round — but she sure
had fun during the process. We give Rinna kudos for putting on her
dancing shoes in our Nightwatch section.

The Top 10 Plus
What Weekly editors are buzzing about...or not.
1. After bearing witness to Sonny canoodling with Alexis, Brenda,
Sam, and Reese, GENERAL HOSPITAL's Carly finally caught a break: She
walked in long after he slept with Emily.
2. ONE LIFE TO LIVE's Hugh and Rex flirting with French models at
Ultraviolet had a certain "je ne sais quoi"...especially since the
girls' accents were so thick they needed subtitles.
3. As much as he might have loved hosting PET STAR, Mario Lopez
was...saved by the Bell. Welcome to THE BOLD AND THE BEAUTIFUL!
4. Carly's 20-minute recovery from the mutant virus on GENERAL
HOSPITAL makes her worthy of 24's miracle boy Tony Almeida.
5. Everyone on AS THE WORLD TURNS keeps wondering how Meg can afford
a room at the Lakeview. Like that has stopped anyone from living
there before!
6. The ABC affiliate wasn't monkeying around in NYC on Feb. 22 when
they interrupted GH to report a case of "accidental anthrax." Talk
about déjŕ-viewing!
7. Some neighbors borrow a cup of sugar, but did GH borrow the
startlingly real preemie John from studio neighbors GREY'S ANATOMY?
They had at least five to spare...
8. ALL MY CHILDREN's Erica Kane must have a personal makeup artist
on standby at all times. How else would she wake up from major
surgery with a perfectly painted face?
9. Just like the Bounty roll she carried in her groceries around
town, GUIDING LIGHT's crazed captor Beth is the quicker picker-upper!
10. THE YOUNG AND THE RESTLESS' Nick went on a road trip with
Phyllis on his 10-year anniversary. And Sharon still doesn't have a
clue.
11. PASSIONS' Sheridan didn't have to worry about not having
something borrowed for her wedding to Chris — the whole storyline
is "borrowed" from when she was involved with Antonio just before
Luis re-entered the picture.

This is cool rather than crazy: The makers of THE AMAZING RACE sent
out a DVD of the Feb. 29 two-hour premiere accompanied by a press
release inserted in a bright yellow clue pouch, just like the ones
the players get to rip open. Luckily, it wasn't a "Detour." Say,
could a "Yield" be used to stop another publication from running
with a story first?
Why We Clapped
One of the best-remembered incidents in GENERAL HOSPITAL history was
the poignant passing of BJ. Well, the soap has just added another
wrenching death to the ranks of soap immortality. When Dr. Tony
Jones succumbed to the mutant strain of encephalitis on Feb. 10,
Brad Maule turned in a startling performance that was by turns sad
and gruesome, but above all touching. Maule wasn't afraid to let
himself look like hell as Tony died — he shuddered and sweated as
his character approached the abyss. Tony's death felt real not only
because Maule put his whole body into it, but because the character
was truly leaving the show. It was one of those rare times when
death really was permanent. Tony tried to be brave, but Maule's
frightened eyes told viewers the end was not welcome — until a
vision of BJ brought comfort to Tony and to traumatized viewers. The
melancholy death of Dr. Jones easily earned Brad Maule Issue 10's
Applause, Applause kudos.
Listening Station
•No Doubt's "Simple Kind of Life" drifted from Theresa's car radio

Nightwatch
Copy Editor Marc Wilkofsky:
Lisa Rinna (ex-Billie, DAYS) may have departed from ABC's DANCING
WITH THE STARS last Friday, but that doesn't mean she didn't waltz
off a winner. From her wildly fancy footwork to her tremendous
spirit in every performance, she was truly, consistently stunning.
This always engaging show is about celebs improving as dancers, and
the SOAP TALK host dramatically succeeded in that department,
sailing through an explosive, stair-climbing quick-step and a superb
jive. As Rinna increasingly floored the judges, Carrie Ann marveled
at how through sheer determination she nailed each dance, and Len
called her the season's most improved dancer. She and partner Louis
had it far from easy over the past two months, blasting through
complex choreography (live!) and entertaining viewers with sexy,
often jaw-dropping movements, while showing just as much chemistry
as the wonderful Drew and Cheryl, and worlds more than the colder
Stacy and Tony. Also, while many "cel! ebreality" shows mesh the
public and private, Rinna did
that better than any of her co-stars, allowing the cameras to catch
her crying during rehearsals. It was touching (and fitting, after
Friday's spotlight on the dancers' supporters) that she ran to hug
husband Harry Hamlin moments afterher elimination. Holy Jasmine
Trias — former 49er Jerry Rice surprisingly made the final three,
thanks to his assuredly strong fan base (and yes, much-improved
skills). On Sunday we find out Drew, er, who, takes home the season
two trophy, and hopefully get a few more looks atLisa's efforts as
she joins one final all-star performance. Congrats!
The We in Weekly
•From Editorial Assistant Mala Bhattacharjee:
I'd like to give kudos to the unsung hero of GH sweeps: Elizabeth
Spencer (and portrayer Rebecca Herbst). While characters like Emily
were sent home exhausted (Who knew holding Sonny's hand was that
tiring?), Elizabeth spent three straight weeks on her feet,
tirelessly going from person to person like a real nurse in a triage
situation. When she finally allowed herself to collapse and worry
about AWOL husband Lucky, it was poignant — and when Lucky swept her
into his arms, it was perfect. Grandpa Steve Hardy would be proud!
•From Senior Writer/Editor Joe Diliberto:
Is anyone else bothered by those "Inside the Light" promos for
GUIDING LIGHT's special Wednesday episodes — you know, the ones
where the actor directs his/her confessional comments AWAY from the
camera? To whom are they speaking? Why are they ignoring me? If
they want me to watch, they should be directing their comments to
me, not making me look over my shoulder to see who just sneaked up
behind me.
•From Copy Editor Marc Wilkofsky:
As AMERICAN IDOL's final 24 have taken the stage, I have some early
contestant comments. Yes, Katharine and Ace are certain standouts,
but for me, it's all about Tucker and Taylor. Lisa Tucker's
powerful "I Am Changing" performance was Tuesday's best, not
Katharine's (as the often-correct Simon Cowell opined). Taylor
Hicks, wild Michael McDonald/Joe Cocker/Ray Charles hybrid that he
is, is not only ultra-talented, but decidedly different, and that's
what counts. Kudos to Stevie, who was booted last night, for bravely
choosing Josh Groban's tough "To Where You Are." However, when you
sing so sweetly (read: quietly), you don't supply the high notes and
Big Finish the audience craves. And I'm glad her quiet counterpart
Kevin pleased Randy and Paula with his fine perf; as the 16-year-old
said, age is just a number and he deserves to be there. Good luck to
the remaining 20, and look for more comments down the line.

Tales From The Interview
Reporting By Stephanie Sloane
I just came back from a week-long trip to L.A., where I visited the
DAYS OF OUR LIVES set twice. The first day was Valentine's Day and
it began with an interview with Darin Brooks (Max), who reported
that he didn't have a Valentine. (Hard to believe, I know.) After I
finished with Darin, I caught up with Julie Pinson (Billie) in the
studio hallway. While we were chatting, Chris Gerse (Will) walked by
and Julie stopped him to congratulate him on his Pizza Hut
commercials with Jessica Simpson that first aired during the Super
Bowl. "Thanks," he said shyly, then added that Jessica was "nice"
and "cool". After that, I spoke with Emmy-nominated hairstylist
Garry Allen and Kristian Alfonso (Hope). While we were gabbing,
Alison Sweeney's (Sami) husband, Dave Sanov, came walking down the
hallway bearing a gorgeous floral arrangement and a heart-shaped red
Mylar balloon attached to the vase, looking for his wife. We all
gave him kudos for actually delivering Ali's Valentine in person,
said he qualified for Husband of
Reporting By Jennifer Lenhart
I interviewed AS THE WORLD TURNS's Alexandra Chando (Maddie) for our
3/7 issue eight months to the day after she started, but she's the
first to point out that her daydreaming sweetheart has changed a
lot. "She's a riot, but she's really grown since June. She's kind
of wised up now and she's moved on from the whole Mike and Katie
thing and it's great that she has a love of her own now," said the
actress. "There are times when I read the script and I'm
like, 'That's totally me.' But she has her little quirks and she's
a little strange. Everybody has their own quirks and they're a
little strange. But I'm not as nosy. I keep to myself most of the
time and I think I'm a little more mature. I hope I'm more mature!"
The Water Cooler
Ever wonder what Digest editors talk about in the halls? Here's
what's on our minds this week.
Mike Bruno:
I love the whole Con Air plane crash thing on ONE LIFE TO LIVE. Not
so much for the drama involved (Todd and John fight for their lives,
blah blah). That part is fine, but what's really cool is that they
used an actual DC-3 for the shoot. They bought it in Tucson, AZ from
Aircraft Restoration and had to cut it up into 16 chunks in order to
fit it on three trucks for transport. No doubt it would've be
cheaper and easier to have just created a faux plane crash set. But
Executive Producer Frank Valentini loves to go all out when he can,
and the result was a big, huge, explosion-laden crash scene that
woke up my inner DUKES OF HAZZARD fan. Call me simple, but a couple
of guys throwing punches in front of a burning heap of mangled steel
still speaks to this blue blooded American soap fan.

MERRY WIDOW SEES THE LIGHT
This week TVGuide.com reported that Guiding Light is killing off
Ross Marler, who has been MIA in Springfield since Jerry ver
Dorn jumped to One Life to Live last fall. This classic character's
off-screen death is a downer indeed, but there is an
upside: Liz Keifer — who plays Ross' redheaded wife, Blake — gets
sprung from story-line limbo.
"This opens the door for Blake to be a free agent again," Keifer
tells TVGuide.com. "She has been paired with Ross for 14
years. We've been known as 'Bloss' for a long time! Jerry and I had
so much fun playing together. He's such a professional; I
learned so much from him. Of course I'm sad that's over, but I
prefer confronting the loss of Ross than continuing to pretend
he's still here and everything's fine."
The best part of soap widowhood? "I've never had a story that was
about me," Keifer laughs. "Next Wednesday I take over Ross'
legacy and run for mayor against Jeffrey O'Neill (Bradley Cole).
Blake is a sharp cookie with a strong background in business
and politics. It's time she got her brain back."
Hopefully she'll also return to her bad-girl roots. "You walk into a
room and it's hard to count how many men Blake has slept
with," the actress cracks. "I hope the show digs up her past."
Too bad Mrs. Marler can't quite bury the past. "There's no coffin at
the memorial service because the bodies in Ross' plane
crash were burned beyond recognition," Keifer teases. "There's a
mystery surrounding the circumstances of his death. I find
out that not only is Ross dead, but he may have been having an
affair with his assistant. My grief knows no bounds!"

WORLD TURNS: WHO'S BACK?
Paolo Seganti (Damian) may not be the only hunk coming back to As
the World Turns. Industry buzz has it Paul Leyden is
returning to Oakdale as Aussie scoundrel Simon Frasier. "It's all

Dark Ending for Light Hero
April 1, 2006 | TV Guide Online
Last September Jerry ver Dorn left his signature soap role as
politician Ross Marler on CBS' Guiding Light to step in as the
new Clint Buchanan at ABC's One Life to Live. Since the move was
abrupt, GL covered for Ross' absence by explaining that he'd
gone off to Washington, D.C. Next week viewers will get the sad news
that Ross has died in an off-screen plane crash.
TVGuide.com asked GL's longest-running cast member how he feels
about his character's grim exit.
TVGuide.com: How has the news of Ross' death hit you?
Jerry ver Dorn: I feel kind of bad about it because I invested 26
years, but there's no way the show could have given me
resolution to the character. Even if they wanted to, there's no way
I could've gotten out because Guiding Light took me off
contract, and two days later I was on contract with One Life to
Live. It's sad.
TVGuide.com: It sounded like GL hoped to retain several actors but
save money by bumping them to recurring status.
Ver Dorn: Well, they can say all sorts of things. I still have two
kids in college, so it was kind of a poor time to take me
off contract! [Laughs] The definition of "unemployed" is not knowing
how much you're going to earn next week. The budget cuts
were so severe. Just for my family's sake, I had to look for work.
TVGuide.com: Fair enough. The off-screen death is a downer, though.
Would you have minded if GL recast Ross instead?
Ver Dorn: I wouldn't have minded at all. Several people played Dr.
Ed Bauer, for example. He was a long-running character on
GL. I'm the second guy to play Clint on OLTL. So it's not
sacrosanct. But they had to do something to free up the other
characters to move on. Liz Keifer (Blake) is married to Ross;
there's also Gina Tognoni, who plays my daughter Dinah. It's a
big deal for the viewers because they get p---ed off when they know
something has happened in real life and the show doesn't
address it. Anyway, I understand my funeral is very nice. I wish I
could've been there!
Springfield Mourns Mayor Marler
April 1, 2006
This week on Guiding Light, Blake prepares herself for Ross'
homecoming, but loses her husband in a plane crash instead.
Blake was planning on telling Ross that she and the kids would move
to Washington to be with him.
Alan-Michael, fresh from his ouster at Spaulding, is revealed to
have had some shady dealings with Dinah's father before his
death. Will Blake find out what secrets Alan's son has been hiding?
Alan-Michael tries to get Dinah to join his side after
being discovered as a fraud and losing Marina, but Dinah rebuffs
him, putting aside what she knows about Harley and Mallet.
Jeffrey must deliver the sad news that Ross was travelling with his
assistant, Nikki, and that their plane has gone down.
There are no survivors. Blake starts to wonder if Ross was having an
affair with his assistant thanks to Dinah, but she wants
Springfield to remember Mayor Marler for all the good things that he
did. All of Springfield gathers for his memorial
service, including Holly, Vanessa and Rick, who speak about the
dearly departed Ross. One mysterious fact remains: There is
no casket at the funeral because apparently the bodies were burned
beyond recognition.
Life after Ross will prove to be very interesting for those in
Springfield, as Blake decides to run against Jeffrey for
Springfield's next mayor. Also, Alan-Michael will have a mysterious
connection to the plane crash! Blake learns that
Alan-Michael and Ross met several times over the past month and
demands answers from the wily Spaulding. He reports that Ross
was having an affair with Nikki -- later he pulls out a file
labeled 'Nicole Landers'. Was the plane crash an accident at
all?

Not Out: David Kreizman
March 25, 2006
An official spokesperson for GL has debunked the rumor that David
Kreizman has been demoted or fired as head writer.
Kreizman, who became Guiding Light's head writer in 2004, will not
be stepping down. "The rumors are unfounded," reported the
setside source. "David Kreizman is the head writer and Ellen Wheeler
is the executive producer."
Fiona Hutchison: Back to the Light?
March 6, 2006
Fondly remembered Fiona Hutchison will be reprising her role as the
dearly departed Jenna Bradshaw Cooper on Guiding Light
sometime this spring or summer.
An inside source reports that the actress will be coming back to do
a dream sequence with her son, Coop. But there is a big
possibility that Hutchison might be returning for good. Stay tuned!

Spring Previews
Gus, Harley, Alan-Michael, Dinah & Mallet
Gus and Harley finally reunite, but will Harley's one-nighter with
Mallet put the kibosh on this blissful marriage? Harley
still has residual feelings for her ex, and Alan-Michael knows all
about the affair. One way or another, it's going to come
out. Alan-Michael sees this dirty little secret as a way to turn
Dinah against Harley, which will leave the CEO seat open for
him.
Sandy, Tammy & Jonathan
Tammy's crazy ex finally exits Springfield, but not before ripping a
page out of Edmund's book and dropping a juicy bombshell
on his once beloved. The secret he reveals is about Jonathan and it
totally shakes up the Tammy and Jonathan relationship.
Sandy does, for all appearances, die and his death might be blamed
on one of the kissing cousins.
Cassie & Jeffrey
Cassie has almost no time to help her daughter Tammy because she's
caught up in Jeffrey's web of secrets. She's going to have
a hard time dealing with Jeffrey's impersonation of Richard and what
he did during that time.
Billy, Reva & Josh
Reva finds herself right in the middle of a brotherly dispute. Both
Josh and Billy want Reva, and they're feeling tension
because of it. Josh can take Billy down for his drunk driving, but
will he? This is the start of a very emotional storyline
for Reva.
Ava, Coop & Lizzie
Things heat up in this teen triangle. Coop finds himself more and
more drawn to Ava, but things are going to happen that make
it harder for Coop to just walk away from Lizzie. More characters
will become involved in this storyline.

Greetings From The Editor
Lynn Leahey
Dear Readers,
It's wedding fever! The Digest on its way to you features a story
about a DAYS OF OUR LIVES ceremony that will be full of
drama: When the priest asks if anyone knows why Mimi and Shawn
shouldn't wed, Belle has something to say ... but will she
stop, or just stall, the proceedings? The new issue has the scoop.
We also have the story on the ALL MY CHILDREN nuptials of
J.R. and Babe, which includes a shocking no-show, and the elopement
of YOUNG AND RESTLESS's Daniel and Lily. And of course,
you're invited to preview it all in the new Digest.
Tales From The Interview
Reporting By Tom Stacy
I must say, after getting a chance to take Julie Berman (Lulu,
GENERAL HOSPITAL) to lunch for her feature in our new issue, I
was awestruck by just how down-to-earth this talented young actress
is. When offered a free meal in L.A., many up-n-comers
choose the latest local hotspot, which is usually too trendy, always
pretentious and often very expensive. Not Berman. She
chose The Newsroom, which, while still a happening joint, is right
across the street from the ultimate celebrity
see-and-be-seen spot, The Ivy. Upon her arrival, Berman breezed
right past the paparazzi lurking in their cars outside The
Ivy and told me that the reason that she chose The Newsroom was, get
this, because of the food! Maybe I'm jaded from living
in L.A. too long, but who does that anymore?
Then, I was impressed that she actually ate a hearty, healthy
lunch. "Julie Berman is not an actress who will order a
crouton," she said, speaking in the third person, with a great big
smile. "Sandwiches, entrees. She has no problem with
carbs. You name it, she'll eat it." And she's not kidding.
As you'll see in our interview in the 3/28 issue, Julie comes across
as a typical college student, working her way through
school, except that her job is on national TV appearing before
millions of viewers every single day. Nothing fazes this girl,
and I find that admirable. Julie, if you ever need a lunch date in
the future, count me in!
Reporting By Jennifer Lenhart
Over the years, I have probably done about 50 "Q&A"-style
interviews, in which (like most interviews) you can expect the
unexpected. Some are boring, some are wild, some are terrifying --
you try staring down GUIDING LIGHT'S Justin Deas (Buzz),
Peter Simon (ex-Ed), Jordan Clarke (Billy), Ron Raines (Alan) and
Robert Newman (Josh) about an unpopular storyline across a
conference table -- and you never know what you're gonna get. Well,
actually AS THE WORLD TURNS's Michael Park (Jack) is
always guaranteed to make it fun, but if he's not involved, the
quality of the interview obviously depends mostly on the
relationship between the people. If they clearly hate each other,
it's awkward. If they don't really know each other that
well, it's a snooze. (Trust me, I've dealt with both situations, and
I can't decide which is worse.) All of this leads me to
Jesse Soffer (Will) and Jennifer Landon (Gwen). Anyone who reads my
recaps at Digest online knows how much I've enjoyed
ATWT's Will and Gwen from the beginning (even though I'm not exactly
thrilled with the whole teen marriage development), but
it took awhile to set up the in-person feature that I've been hoping
to do since last summer. By the time the joint photo
shoot/interview was finally scheduled, they were both Emmy nominees.
Here's a snippet from the beginning of the interview:
Digest: So you've both been nominated. Would it be weird if only one
of you had been?
Both: Yeah, probably.
Digest: If only one of you could have been nominated, who would you
choose?
Landon: Myself!
Soffer: Oh yeah, myself. [Everyone laughs]
So they were cute and I knew that they were friends, but I didn't
really think they had a lot in common. So what surprised me
the most about these two (who have known each other for less than a
year now) is the strength of their connection -- of all
the on-screen couples I've interviewed together, Landon and Soffer
seemed the closest (platonically -- don't get any ideas),
aside maybe from Park and Maura West (Carly), who have worked
together for nearly nine years. They do that cool but weird
thing where they can practically read each other's minds, and
sometimes they wander off into their own separate conversation
where no one else knows what they're talking about. Read the full
feature (with great photos -- thanks, Fabrice!) in our
3/28 issue.
Type Set
Soap fans are a vocal bunch -- see what fellow viewers are saying
about their shows.
It's great when I can laugh, get misty and smile all for one show.
That's one of the reasons I enjoy ONE LIFE TO LIVE. This
past week was emotionally charged with Rex and Adriana fighting
their urges, Todd begging Evangeline to help him fight for
his life, John's jealousy of Evangeline's possible suitor, and let's
not forget the round of visitors Evangeline had in one
night; Todd, John and Cris. All she needs is a busybody neighbor to
update the town on the day's gossip. Great job at keeping
me entertained OLTL!

The Top 10 Plus
What Weekly editors are buzzing about...or not.
1. Shame on GENERAL HOSPITAL for using words like "dumped"
and "abandoned" to describe 16-year-old Alexis giving Sam up for
adoption. Growing up Cassadine would've been no picnic!
2. The only thing missing from DAYS OF OUR LIVES' new Austin,
Carrie, Lucas and Sami quadrangle is a blonde doctor for Sami
to push Carrie toward.
3. Now that THE BOLD AND THE BEAUTIFUL's Brooke has dumped Ridge, it
would be the perfect time for Ronn Moss to bust into
"Baby Come Back."
4. Can GUIDING LIGHT fans choose the next character to be tossed off
the cliff?
5. Perhaps AS THE WORLD TURNS' Jade thought the Snyders would accept
her masquerade as Rose's daughter because it's the
least-nutty thing happening in Oakdale right now.
6. If DAYS' Chelsea is the town pariah and tabloid poster girl for
killing Zach, how does she keep getting into bars and
drinking when she's underage?
7. After their stripper tour, GUIDING LIGHT's Cassie told Tammy
she's flying by the seat of her pants. Well, at least she's
wearing pants now.
8. Speaking of pants, ATWT's Margo was furious that Casey helped
Will and Gwen get hitched — but at least he had his on when
she caught him with Maddie.
9. "March Madness" is what CBS soap fans suffer from without their
soaps for two days.
10. When OLTL's John and Cristian visited Evangeline behind bars,
was anyone nostalgic for their prison lockdown?
11. Forget GH's Sonny and Emily or Carly and Jax. Carly and hapless
bodyguard Max are the show's new supercouple — of comedy!
12. Hey, GL's Buzz: What kind of father pinch-hits for his son on a
date and then lip-locks the gal?

Why We Clapped
Nobody will care about a romantic triangle unless the choices seem
genuinely appealing, and the man at the center of
PASSIONS' most delicious triad, Richard Steinmetz, has done a
dazzling job of making viewers believe that Martin is actually
torn between Pilar and Katherine. When Martin was faced with
choosing between recommitting to Pilar or dallying with a naked
Katherine, Steinmetz made the dilemma seem real. Martin felt the
call of duty to Pilar and the nudge of his animal side
toward Katherine. Honor or Sex? The indecision written on
Steinmetz's face as Martin alternately resisted and gave in to
temptation demonstrated to viewers that Martin was no cad; he's just
really, really confused. But there was no mistaking
Steinmetz's skills, which earned him Applause, Applause kudos for
Issue 13.

theme on GH). Then Ryan, Kendall, Aidan, Erin, JR, Babe and Dixie
were just a few of the people featured in the closing
montage set to "True" by Ryan Cabrera.

Nightwatch
•West Coast Editor Janet Di Lauro: Is there anyone out there — aside
from a legion of sophomoric fans — who can believe that
"Chicken Little" Kevin Covais is still among the AMERICAN IDOL
wannabes? I mean, come on. He is not going to win. Can you
imagine anyone signing him to a recording contract, let alone
picture him performing at the Grammys? Sure, the karaoke kid is
cute and well-spoken for a 16-year-old, but he is not star material.
There's just no "wow" factor. No commanding stage
presence. He needs to go home. If Kevin does somehow eke out a
victory, we'd all better run — because then the sky really
will be falling!
•Senior Writer/Editor Joe Diliberto: BATTLESTAR GALACTICA junkies
who need something to watch during the loooong wait until
October's Cylon occupation of New Caprica should tune into Sci Fi at
9 p.m. Fridays to catch the debut of another
out-of-this-world serial, Britain's DOCTOR WHO (bowing with two
episodes tonight). While not a "soap" in the traditional
sense, the blossoming relationship between the eccentric alien
called The Doctor and Earth girl Rose Tyler and the sacrifices
they make is the linchpin of the entire 13-episode storyline. The
Doctor takes Rose on a tour forward and backward in time
that features a visit with Charles Dickens and a ringside seat for
the end of the world. Think of it as a telenovela. With
monsters.
The We in Weekly
•From Editorial Assistant Mala Bhattacharjee: In 1995, fans of Fox's
THE X-FILES started an infamous "missing scene" rumor:
that partners Mulder and Scully got up to monkey business in an
elevator during a season three episode. In 2003, GH's Carly
spied Sonny kissing Brenda on the docks and ended up at Jake's,
where she was victimized by Ric — leading to a paternity
question when she got pregnant. However, Carly told Jax about the
kiss that same night, off-screen, and he dumped Brenda at
the altar the next day. GH viewers have theorized in the three years
since that the betrayed duo got up to a little monkey
business of their own, resulting in cutie-pie Morgan. Now that Carly
and Jax are kicking it on-screen, an intriguing theory
could prove to be a delicious twist. Besides, what's one more
paternity secret between friends?
•From Assistant Managing Editor Robert Schork: A few weeks ago, for
my birthday (ugh), I treated myself to a new toy — a DVD
recorder. Last weekend, I used it to start the biggest man-made
undertaking since the digging of the Panama Canal: converting
my massive VHS soap archive to DVD before the tapes (which date back
to 1985) disintegrate. While most of my videocassettes
are labeled, some are not, so it's fun to see who shows up on my
screen when I pop in a mystery tape. First up: GH from early
in 1988. Anna had just been rescued from psycho Grant Putnam by Duke
and Robert, Tom Hardy and his fiancée Simone tied the
knot to become daytime's first married interracial couple, and poor
put-upon Lucy (who was married to dearly departed Tony at
the time) was contending with newly arrived Aunt Charlene and cousin
Colton, who caught the eye of fellow gospel singer (and
Bobbie's stepdaughter), Terri.
After watching an entire episode from that week, a few notable
observations emerged. What happened to Scott Thompson Baker
(Colton)? He was one "heartthrob" who could really act. GH went
through a few different Simones back then, but almost 20
years later it inexplicably remains one of daytime's diversity-
challenged soaps. Why is that? And one of the three featured
stories in that episode was Dan Rooney's romance with Ruby and his
competing interest in Charlene. Could you imagine a soap
devoting airtime to a serious front-burning triangle with THREE
senior characters like those today? Back then, every audience
member counted, regardless of gender or "demo." Maybe that's why its
ratings then were nearly triple what they are today.

Greetings From The Editor
Lynn Leahey
Dear Readers,
Don't you love when there's a big secret about to explode on a soap?
Y&R's
got a doozy right now -- Sharon inched toward the realization that
her
husband was having an affair with Phyllis, and now she's about to
pounce
on her cheating husband and his mistress, Phyllis. Our new issue
tells you
how it all goes down ("There are some very ugly things said," offers
Sharon Case). We also have the scoop on the return to ATWT of Simon
and
Damian, moves sure to shake up at least two storylines. Not so happy
is
word that DAYS's Melissa Reeves has been telling castmates she's
leaving
the show when her contract is up. At least she has a good reason --
it's
in our late-breaking news section. As is the story -- and photo! --
of
Lesli Kay's big sacrifice for her B&B role. Rather than wear a bald
cap to
portray cancer patient Felicia, Kay agreed to shave her head. Her
commitment to the role has a real-life, as well as artistic
component,
which she shares with Digest on page 6. Last but definitely not
least, set
your VCR for
Tales From The Interview
Reporting By Mara Levinsky
The story behind my interview with Connie Fletcher (ALL MY CHILDREN's
Erin) goes back to last summer. She was new to the show, and about
to be
introduced to the cheering masses at the fan club luncheon, when we
met
for the first time. We hit it off immediately and agreed that we'd
have a
great time going out to lunch together when the time came for her to
be
the subject of a Digest interview. We joked that because the
magazine was
footing the bill, we'd go somewhere nice, "like McDonald's." A few
months
later, when I asked AMC's publicist to set up the interview, I told
him to
tell Fletcher to choose the spot. The response came back: "I was
promised
McDonald's!" Encouraged to explore other options, Fletcher selected
the
lovely, healthful restaurant near AMC's studio that Cameron Mathison
(Ryan) had taken her to before she even started taping, because,
nice guy
that he is, he wanted to avail himself to answer any questions she
might
have about their characters and the show in general. I got there
first,

Type Set
Soap fans are a vocal bunch -- see what fellow viewers are saying
about
their shows.
As a longtime "Shuis" fan, I am thrilled to see Galen Gering back
on-screen portraying Luis Lopez-Fitzgerald in PASSIONS. I am anxious
to
see where the Shuis storyline goes from here. Galen and McKenzie
Westmore
(Sheridan) still have that chemistry that make Shuis shine. However,
I'm
not happy to see Sheridan as a bigamist! I know there will be
emotional
scenes as they work things out. I am most anxious for them to have
their
son back! Shuis have missed out on too much of their child's life.
With
Luis back in Harmony, things will heat up again.

THE TOP 10 PLUS
What Weekly editors are buzzing about...or not.
1. Thanks, ONE LIFE TO LIVE: A VHS tape hasn't been this horrifying
since
THE RING.
2. Judging by how GENERAL HOSPITAL's Carly went "toe-to-toe" with
Jax at
The Haunted Star and then later in bed, something's definitely afoot
between the sexy duo.
3. GUIDING LIGHT's women won't be winning any prizes for "Mother of
the
Year." First, Cassie locked her daughter in the morgue with a dead
body.
Then, Harley waited to tell her poor sons that Gus was alive so she
and
Gus could get "reacquainted."
4. They are definitely keeping things in the family over at ALL MY
CHILDREN. JR's father is in love with JR's new mother-in-law,
Krystal, and
Babe's father is in love with Babe's back-from-the-dead mother-in-
law,
Dixie.
5. GH's nefarious Manny put together Skye and Alcazar's baby crib in
two
minutes but needed a key to get out of his own ankle monitor? Maybe
he
should trade a life of crime for becoming SUPERNANNY.
6. What if AS THE WORLD TURNS had a 50th anniversary and CBS didn't
promote it? Why hasn't the network run more promos "inviting" us to
the
fabulous festivities?
7. If GH's Nikolas was so intent on losing at roulette, he should
have bet
on a straight number because red vs. black is nearly 50/50 odds. And
speaking of shenanigans aboard The Haunted Star, Luke just went into
hock
getting it refurbished and he's already shot holes in the ceiling?
8. There was no kissing and making up when Jack dumped Carly on ATWT
but
there was Michael Park's voice right after the scene in a commercial
for
Max Factor makeup.
9. Here's a song suggestion for a timely PASSIONS montage featuring
Whitney: Devo's "Whip It." (Whip it good!)
10. GL's Dinah suggested it's not every day you come face-to-face
with a
dead person -- unless you’re on a soap. In which case, just try to
avoid
coming face-to-face with somebody who hasn't been presumed dead!
11. ATWT's Luke suddenly fainted, so since this is a soap, he must be
pregnant.
FOR YOUR EYES ONLY
West Coast Editor Janet Di Lauro:
Lucas has finally gotten the girl on DAYS and Bryan R. Dattilo is
among
those who "cannot believe it." "Lucas has usually been the loser at
love,"
admits the actor. "So, he's really psyched. In Lucas' mind, Carrie
is who
he was meant to be with because we all think we belong with our first
loves." What makes it even sweeter for Lucas is how he has one-upped
big
brother Austin. "Lucas thinks he's achieved something," notes
Dattilo. "He
loves the fact that he's hurt Austin in the process [of landing
Carrie].
Everything is going Lucas' way -- except that he's still got
lingering
feelings for Sami."

WHY WE CLAPPED
ATWT's Michael Park exposed just how vulnerable his heroic character
is to
his scheming wife when Carly's undercover drink-slinging at the
Galaxy
strip club came uncovered. Jack was incredulous that Carly would go
to
such extremes to interfere in his investigation, and he was at the
end of
his rope with her. Jack refused to hear her "mea culpa," and Park's
performance made it clear the decision took its toll on Jack. After
years
of airheaded hijinks from his Mrs., Jack had enough. But fans could
not
get enough of Park's portrayal of Jack's stoic struggle, earning Park
Applause, Applause kudos for Issue 15.
LISTENING STATION
-On the March 27 episode of AMC, JR and Babe's latest wedding night
was
set to "Fall in Love Again," by Nick Lachey.
-GL's Gus and Harley had a passionate reunion to "There You Are," by

Urban's "Making Memories of Us."
-Patty Griffin's "Rain" accompanied Brennan, Booth and Angela
searching

THE WE IN WEEKLY
Greetings from the Great Beyond and Senior Writer/Editor/Skeptic Joe
Diliberto:
It was genuinely painful to watch THE VIEW on March 30 as so-called
"medium" James Van Praagh struggled to play his guessing games with
three
members pulled from the audience. The self-described "world-renowned
psychic medium" did his usual schtick of asking the subjects
questions and
making it look like he was getting information from ghosts. Van
Praagh
guessed wildly (and wrongly) about everyone's relationships, then
settled
on mentioning generic stuff like how one woman looks at photo albums
(who
doesn't?). The poor audience members stared in disbelief as the
befuddled
Van Praagh tried to backpedal from his "ghostly" sources. Joy Behar,
at
least, appeared to think about what Van Praagh was trying to pawn
off as
supernatural info (she called him on the photo albums) but guest host
Renee Elise Goldsberry (Evangeline, OLTL) pronounced the test
subjects
"blessed" for allowing Van Praagh to stammer at them for a few
minutes. At
least Jennifer Love Hewitt -- whose series, GHOST W!
HISPERER, is inspired by Van Praagh -- looks cute while playing the
psychic game. Hey, James, what do your preternatural contacts tell
you I'm
thinking right now?
From Copy Editor Marc Wilkofsky:
Now that Lisa has left the AMERICAN IDOL stage, let's look at who's
most
likely to make it through to the end.
Chris: As long as he shows a little more range (he's an amazing
singer but
each of his performances is a scorching rockfest), he's a lock for
the
Final 4.
Mandisa: Aside from the wildest nickname in IDOL history (Mandiva?!)
she
is a tremendous performer. Nothing but a complete surprise or awful
week
will keep her from the F4.
Katharine: She is the other woman to watch, but might be the LaToya
London
of the year (fans think she's safe and don't vote for her, as
happened
this week).
Taylor: A knock-everyone-out, too-stunned-to-whoo performance will
push
this marvelous mover into the F4 zone. America loves him.
Kellie: She’s battled beautifully, and a couple of bravura show-
stoppers
would be her ticket to the F4. She and Bucky are golden next week as
everyone makes a case for country (and themselves).
Elliott: The strongest dark horse (light horse?), viewers haven't
forgotten Simon heavily praising him. Song-choosing -- and risk-
taking --
is paramount for him. One poor week could do him in.
As for the rest, Ace has to keep making it clear he's more talent
than
looks or he'll be sitting with his season 4 counterpart Constantine;
Paris' efforts as Fantasia II might not work out for her; and Bucky
must
keep picking perfect-for-his-voice songs like "Oh Boy" and
eventually he
will wow 'em. Keep watching (and listening)!
IT'S MY PARTY
Hey, gang, Associate Editor Tonya Lensch here. Carolyn Hinsey and I
attended the panel discussion and party for ATWT's 50th anniversary
at the
Museum of Television and Radio on March 23. It started off with Don
Hastings (Bob) and Helen Wagner (Nancy) reading a scene from ATWT's
first
episode. In case you didn't know, Don Hastings is a very dear and
funny
man. When Helen was introduced as being in the Guinness Book of World
Records, he joked, "Helen's in the book of Guinness, but I drank the
Guinness." Don played a 12-year-old Bob in a scene with Helen where
Bob
didn't want to go by "Bobby" anymore. Oh, how times have changed!
(You can
check out the panel discussion for yourself at www.mtr.org.)
We also got a sneak preview of the "Divas on the Bus" episode airing
April
3, and it's fun. I wish it was filled with more clips, but just wait
until
you see these ladies go at each other -- and survive not only a
bear, but
an explosion! Afterward, we schmoozed with actors and folks behind
the
scenes while the special sitcom episode which aired today, March 31,
played on the monitors. Michael Park (Jack) told us all about taping
the
special episode and was also busy making plans with Jon Hensley
(Holden)
and Martha Byrne's (Lily) husband, Michael McMahon, since the guys
were
heading off to Miami the next day for a weekend of golf.
Terri Colombino (Katie, pictured above with husband Artie and me)
was a
good sport when I gave her a hard time about her pole-dancing in that
day's episode and Jennifer Landon (Gwen) showed off her new ear
piercing.
Senior producer Carole Shure and I talked about doing the Emmys
"L.A.-style" next month. (Good news -- a lot of the cast will be
heading
out there for the awards!) There were lots of goodies in the Klein
Creative Communications gift bag -- including the new book Oakdale
Confidential, ATWT 50th anniversary swag, a plush Peace Toys Hugg-A-
Planet
globe (the World, get it?), ChocLamours chocolates (yum!), games, a
T-shirt, makeup and creams. Happy 50th, ATWT! Here's to the next 50!
