Macy: Back from the Dead
A surprise visitor has made a grand appearance in the glorious town of
Portofino on the Italian Riviera. Beloved fans of Bobbie Eakes will be
thrilled to know that Macy is coming back to the show. Bobbie makes
her first appearance on the show in the Italian episodes that will
begin airing in early December, so watch out! B&B co-stars were
excited about Bobbie's return. Darlene Conley (Sally), who has
remained very close to her on-screen daughter, was disturbed that
Internet rumors began circulating about Bobbie's return some time ago.
"I'm not encouraging people to do things like that. It spoils the fun
for the audience and that's who we're doing it for." Winsor Harmon
(Thorne), who has always had strong storylines with Bobbie, was
gushing with excitement. "I'm turning flips! Thorne and Macy were one
of the hot couples in daytime. There's a history there and it's
something that's always going to be there between the two of them,
like Brooke and Ridge. I love working with Bobbie. I think I've done
some of my best work with Bobbie, so I'm really looking forward to
it."
Meanwhile, B&B cast and crew had a very involved day two in Portofino,
as they shot scenes for a grand fashion show. The Italian fans have
been relentless in their dedication to the B&B stars. Crowds of fans
were standing for hours as the episode was being shot, hoping to catch
a glimpse of their favorite B&B actors. Check out the stunning
behind-the-scenes pictures of the B&B cast in Portofino, and don't
forget to read Day Two of Daniel McVicar's (Clarke) Portofino Journal,
EXCLUSIVE to SoapCity. Keep checking back daily for more
behind-the-scenes pictures of B&B in Portofino and more journal
entries from Daniel McVicar.

Daniel McVicar – Portofino Journal
Day Two – Forrester vs. Forrester

Yesterday, I thought there couldn't be a more beautiful day. Until
this morning. Crisp blue skies, lovely bright light, what our lighting
director and producers (and all of us) had hoped for. Portofino in all
its glory and on the pier, in the center of town, our shooting of the
big Fashion Show... Forrester vs. Forrester in the Portofino
Challenge.

Many Italian dignitaries had been invited to come. The intellectual
Claudio Fava from nearby Genova (Yes, in Italy, they revere their
intellectuals). Also, the editor of their "People " Magazine, and a
writer herself, Silvana Giacobini.

Michael Stich, the director, had cameras on the hills, in the water,
on the crane in the sky. We weren't going to miss any opportunity to
capture the beauty here.

It may be Forresters vs. Spectra, but the actors are all enjoying
their time together, dining together in a large group every night. I
have to confess we are having a lot of fun. We also work very hard,
with early morning starts, lots of press interviews and the obstacle
course of fans from all over who are trying their best to say hello
while we are working. Extra security has been brought in, for when The
Bold and the Beautiful shoots here it creates a lot of excitement.

As for me, I am charmed by this attention, but I know not to take it
too personally. After all, we are here for the audience, and to serve
the story. It's something to appreciate and not take too personally.

It is only our second day, and so much has been shot already. We have
a lot more to go!

Ciao for now and "Tanti Auguri" or all best wishes.

Doug Davidson
Paul Williams, The Young and the Restless



Doug Davidson

Doug Davidson isn't afraid of a little controversy. Amidst a flurry of
press interest in his explosive storyline this week on The Young and
the Restless — Paul and Christine engage in an aggressive sexual
encounter that will leave fans pondering if both parties were 100
percent consensual — he has stood strong behind the story and his
character's uncharacteristic choices. But that's the point that makes
this tale so intriguing for Davidson, that no character should be
defined in extremes. The actor, who will celebrate his 25th year on
Y&R next May, spoke candidly with TV Guide Online about Paul's
actions, the challenges of shooting the "sex" scene and his own
mindset for the storyline. — Delaina Dixon
Your story has become the center of controversy surrounding Paul and
Christine's unexpected sexual encounter. How did Y&R approach you with
this plot point?
They said they had something risky — that was the word they used — and
they wouldn't tell me what it was; I guess they were trying to keep it
quiet. I was trying to guess what they considered risky. It was Laura
Bryan Birn, who plays Paul's secretary Lynn, who guessed it would be
what it is.


When the writers spoke with you about the story, how did they deal
with the fact that some may consider the act rape?
It was stressed that there were no absolutes in this story. They
wanted to make sure the ambiguity of the act was apparent on both
sides of the coin in which either side of the event could be argued.


Were you hesitant to take on this storyline?
When you have an opportunity to show different colors of the same
person, that's where the challenge is, in terms of soap acting. Did I
have trouble validating it? No, because things can happen when you're
emotionally involved.


What are the events that led up to Paul's present state-of-mind?
To be a little catty, Isabella invited Christine to the baptism of her
and Paul's son, and Christine came. Michael Baldwin also showed up,
made an unwelcome toast to Ricky's baptism and raised his glass also
to announce he is now engaged to Chris, which infuriated Paul. Paul
was pretty mad at her, recalling the time he asked her what she wanted
at the Newman wedding, and she grabbed him and kissed the hell out of
him. I think, deep down, Paul's got very strong feelings for her. I
think as he reflects on his life as it is, he would much prefer to go
through it with Christine than with Isabella.


How does he act on those feelings?
With all the emotional turmoil he's gone through, he finds himself in
his old apartment with Christine, and it sends mixed messages, one
thing leads to another, and they end up having a sexual encounter. The
encounter itself is aggressive. There's no slapping or hitting, but we
had that scuffle at [the baptism at] Gina's and emotions are frayed
and running hot and high.


Are both willing participants?
I think at certain points they both were.


How does Paul interpret what has happened?
I think once the passion has cooled and he looks at it with a cold,
analytical eye, he doesn't feel great about it. He got certain
messages from Christine that signaled a go ahead, but afterwards, he
feels he's overstepped his bounds, even if the signals were mixed. I
think if he could undo it, he would.


Does Paul still love Christine?
I don't think it's something he could turn off. Even with the
undesirability of her being 6000 miles away, it's not like their
relationship ever really ended. Every time he sees her, there's that
melancholy feeling that if he had just not gotten involved with
Isabella, and Christine hadn't taken off for Australia or said she
didn't want to have kids, they'd still be together.


Do you think Christine and Paul are soulmates?
Overall, yes, regardless of what happens in their future. If they
weren't, I don't think after so many months or years, they could still
fire up any passion.

HILL STAYS PUT
For the moment, this is one mountain that's not moving. Contrary to
published reports, Guiding Light's newest player Teresa Hill (Eden) is
not leaving the show. "They are mistaken," states a show rep. News of
the actress's imminent departure may have bubbled up from the her
alter ego's current storyline: Eden was the victim of a gunshot wound.
But a spokesperson stresses that this is not the case for the contract
player. "She's on the show," he stresses. GL also denies rumors that
the role will be recast.

DAMIAN'S FAMILY REUNION
Michael Damian's (Danny) return visit to The Young and the Restless is
a brief one, but the Y&R fave still wanted to make the trip. "Anytime
I can come by and say hello to my extended family, it's a great
opportunity," he tells TV Guide Online. Damian and several former Y&R
stars: Tina Arning (Sasha), Aaron Lustig (Tim), Duke Stroud (George)
and Williams Wallace (Brian) will take part in a dream sequence with
Phyllis. "Basically, it's all the people she's been naughty to,"
Damian teases. With this many returning faces on set, it didn't take
long to turn into a party atmosphere. "All the producers were out on
the floor — usually they are in the booth — and it was a very festive
moment," Damian shares. "There was a lot of bonding, and good feelings
all across the board."

While Damian's fans would love to see him return to the soap screen
fulltime, he stresses this upcoming holiday treat was just a one shot
deal. "I think it will still be enjoyable for the viewers," he says.
"The last few years, they've been asking me if I'm going to back on
the show, and now I am, for the day."

Damian is still busy beyond the daytime scene. He's about to release
his next single, "I Always Will," and he's completing a romantic
comedy script with his wife and partner, Janeen, and a short film he
directed called The Square. "We're editing it now, and we'll get it
off to the film festivals," he says.

Look for Damian and the others to air Dec. 11.


FROM CLASS TO CAST
University of Pittsburgh's Rob Feinberg, who will guest star as Eric
this week on As the World Turns, admits his classes almost kept him
from making the Catch Us if You Can College Bus Tour auditions. "The
auditions started at 10 am, and I had class, so I came back, and the
line was still long," he recalls. Feinberg waited two hours, but had
another class to attend at 1 pm. "I gave them my picture and stepped
out of line, but they called me back to audition for the part."

The freshman, who is studying communications and arts, got a little
starstruck while ATWT's trio was on the campus. "My character thinks
they're really cool because their pictures are all posted on flyers
around campus. He asks for their autograph," he explains. Feinberg
quickly learned that daytime, like college, is hard work. "I got up at
5 in the morning and got ready because I had to be on set by 6 am," he
says. "It was surreal to see our fine arts center turned into a TV
set, with lights and cameras around, it was really interesting."
Feinberg doesn't plan to pursue acting as a career, but one job did
catch his eye while ATWT was in town. "[After] watching what the
public relations people did, " he surmises, "I think I could be
interested in that."

Feinberg airs Nov. 12.



DAYTIME TIDBITS
The Bold and the Beautiful has confirmed that Bobbie Eakes will
reprise her role as Macy Alexander on the show. Also on B&B, though
the news is unconfirmed by the show, Michael Swan will reprise his
role as Adam Alexander, a source tells TV Guide Online... Eileen
Davidson (Ashley, Y&R) has announced she is expecting her first child
next spring... Anthony Herrera (James, ATWT) has launched
poetrytheatre.org, a site where current and former soap stars recite
their favorite pieces of rhymed pentameter... GL is casting a handsome
man in his late teens to mix it up in Springfield...

CASTING CALL
As the World Turns: Kelly Deadmon plays a lab technician on Nov. 11...
On Nov. 12, Maureen Pelligrini plays Roberta, J.J.'s nurse; University
of Pittsburgh students Christy Biberich and Rob Feinberg play Tricia
and Eric; members of the university's Pitt Glee Club also appear...
Beginning Nov. 13, Larry Mitchell portrays Chester, a security
guard... That's Ron Guttman playing Dr. Weiskopf, Julia's doctor, on
Nov. 13 and 15... On Nov. 14, Joshua Sutton plays an events manager.
University of Maryland student Ben Parker plays Kevin and recent UMD
graduate Anname Phann portrays Carol; members of Avalou, the UMD
women's ultimate frisbee team, also appear.
Guiding Light: Danny Wiseman plays a chauffeur on Nov. 12... John
Ottavino plays the governor, and Tom Day plays the press secretary on
Nov. 15.


ODDS AND ENDS
The Early Show correspondent Laurie Hibberd is headed back to school.
Hibberd visits with As the World Turns's Jessica Dunphy (Alison), Agim
Kaba (Aaron) and Peyton List (Lucy) on the set at the University of
Maryland at College Park on Nov. 14 (7 am/ET, CBS).

If you want to look as sculpted as George Alvarez (Ray), who plays
daytime's buffest priest on Guiding Light, the first step is to get
out of the weight room. Alvarez tightens and tones his physique with a
sticky mat and controlled breathing. "Yoga is the way," Alvarez
declares to TV Guide Online. "I used to lift weights. I started yoga
four years ago, and it changed my life." Alvarez has become a student
of Hatha yoga, which incorporates a series of strengthening poses and
breathing. "With Hatha yoga, you just find inner peace," Alvarez
explains. "You don't get rattled and you don't sweat the small stuff."
Alvarez's love for this ancient form of body conditioning began while
the actor was in Los Angeles, where he sweated it out to Jivamukti
yoga, one of the more vigorous practices. "You do a lot of handstands,
and use your own resistance," he recalls. Now Alvarez turns upside
down to ground himself for difficult performances onscreen. "When
scenes are really heavy and emotional, I get into a handstand and it
helps settle my spirits," he shares.

MY POV: It was with a bit of trepidation that I turned my television
to The Young and the Restless on Nov. 5. I had read so much about the
aggressive sexual encounter between Christine and Paul, and I had even
spoken with the actors involved, but I still found myself racking my
brain over what could possibly transpire on my screen. As I waited, it
struck me that it had been a while since a story had put me on such
edge, sweating over what would happen next. Daytime is a medium
designed to shock the emotions, and Y&R's risky plot point — before it
even aired — gave all interested parties an unexpected jolt. It proved
our shows still have the ability to get people, engaged, involved and
talking. And while there's no mandate to create a story as explosive
as Y&R has chosen to unveil, all shows could benefit from adding that
zinger that makes it an uneasy experience to watch, and more
importantly, an impossible one not to.

  As both young men rush to see if Clarke is OK and call him Dad, Mark
and C.J. stare at each other.

from him, but is just trying to help them get over the loss of his
mother like the rest of the family.

  As Ridge and Stephanie go at it over Brooke, Bridget comes down and
explains how Thomas may see Brooke as the enemy, so perhaps she, as
Brooke's daughter, shouldn't be around either.

  Ridge and Stephanie convince Bridget that the kids need her, so
Bridget agrees to stay -- and as Ridge thanks Bridget with a hug,
Thomas watches with a smile on his face...

ODDS AND ENDS
Thad Luckinbill (J.T., Y&R) guest stars as a charismatic jock trying
to make quarterback on Buffy The Vampire Slayer on Nov. 5 (8pm/ET,
UPN).

Laura Bell Bundy (ex-Marah, GL) is excited for the opportunity to let
her hair down at the upcoming Hair Cares fundraiser, which will
benefit Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS. But she's keeping her fans
guessing about what song she will be performing at the event. "It's a
surprise," she teases. "But it definitely won't be from Hairspray."
Sadly, she won't be doing an original number as the evening will be
solely filled with her talented co-stars from the current Broadway
hit. "I was going to do something with my singing partner, and that
would have been my original music," she notes. "But since we decided
to keep it as strictly the Hairspray cast, I couldn't do that. So I'm
not doing an original song, although I wish that I could." Even
though she won't be singing her own tune, she's still happy to be a
part of this event because it's an organization that's very important
to her. "I've had several people close to me pass away from the AIDS
virus, and if I'm ever in a position to help raise money for the
cause then I will definitely do it," she declares. — Angel Cohn
MY POV: Using her nephew Phillip's ex-wives to wrest control of
Spaulding Enterprises away from Alan was pouring salt in the wounds
as far as Alexandra was concerned. But for Guiding Light fans, it was
a treat to see the short, sweet returns of Krista Tesreau and Mary
Kay Adams, who play Phillip's first and second wives, Mindy Lewis and
India von Halkein, respectively. GL wisely wove Mindy's and India's
passages to Springfield into other stories. Mindy revisited the Lewis
clan as the family supported Reva just before her sentencing. Tesreau
showed that Mindy has not lost an ounce of her beauty and spunk!
Likewise, Adams shined as India sparred with Alexandra, flirted with
Phillip (after reveling in the news of his split with Beth), and
reconnected with Ben Reade, the son of India's late pal Maeve
Stoddard. India also found a new potential nemesis in Alan's latest
wife Olivia. The only gripe with these returns is that they were all
too brief. There are plenty of reasons to keep both of Phillip's
former mates in town. The Lewises are famous for closing ranks during
times of crisis. Also, Mindy's half-brother Bill is dating her old
rival Beth, creating lots of opportunities for Tesreau's comedic
skills to shine. Adams's India, too, would have lots to keep her busy
up at the Spaulding mansion. For starters, she's keyed into the
family's best-kept secret — Phillip has the hots for his newest
stepmother. GL has invested a great deal in signing soap diva Joan
Collins as Alexandra. Who better to go up against the Spaulding
matriarch than her former stepdaughter? The conflicts between Alex
and India were a highlight on GL throughout the mid-'80s and were
revisited nicely in 1990. As the show continues to celebrate its 50th
year on television, it could only benefit by further acknowledging
the potential that India and Mindy can bring to the soap's future.

#7501 Director Noel Maxam Air date 11/4/02

ROLL OF THUNDER, HEAR MY CRY: Mikey calls for attention at Ricky's
christening reception - Ladies and Gentlemen - I think this calls for
a toast. Izzy - this isn't the time. Mikey - it's the perfect time.
Lauren - how can you, Michael? Mikey - pick up a glass (no one else
does) - he grabs a champagne flute off a tray a waiter is holding -
first - a toast to little Ricky - I hope he and his parents will
cherish this day forever - I know I will because the most wonderful
woman in the whole world said she'd marry me ... empties flute.
Angry Paul confronts Bug - how could you? Mikey - Bug, we can go n___
Paul suddenly takes Mikey down with a swift backhand - they tumble to
the floor. Wide eyed Bug - stop you guys - stop right now! Horrified
Izzy - stop it, Paul! Bruised and bloody Mikey from the floor - you
should congratulate me, Paul. Paul grabs Mikey by the collar - slugs
him again. Gina - stop it - you're acting like animals! Andy is
holding Izzy back. Stunned guests crowd around. Waiters lift up
Mikey. Gina - Michael, I want you out of here NOW! Mikey - OK - OK -
I'm going ... as he stumbles out.
Mary - are you all right, son? Bug - no, he is `not' all right - HE'S
CRAZY! Spent Paul sits down on hearth - looks at his hands - then
gets up - listen everyone - I'm sorry - I just couldn't handle it.
Distressed Izzy - this is one time you should have. Paul - Izzy, I'm
sorry - please forgive me. Marissa - too bad the battery on my camera
died. Lynne scowls at her.
With Andy tagging along - Paul heads for the bar - whiskey please ...
downs it chug-a-lug ... another. Andy - hey, Paul take it easy. Paul -
  you know - I should have gone outside and finished it. Lauren -
isn't this what you wanted, Bug - two men fighting over you - it's
always about `you' isn't it? Bug glares at her - shut up, Lauren.
Lauren - the man has a wife and baby - god forbid that you'd think
about them. Paul - why would you and that `snake' come here and ruin
our party? Bug eyes flair - like choking a man and hitting him is OK -
  besides - we were just leaving. Lauren - why don't you leave now.
Bug - I will! Paul - come back here - how dare you come in here and
disrupt my family - you are sick!
Izzy & her father walk past Paul & Andy at the bar without stopping.
Lynne - how's Ricky? Izzy - he's sleeping - thank goodness he wasn't
down here. Ricardo - we can be grateful for that. Gina - listen up
everybody - this has been confusing for all of us - let's all sit
down and try to calm down. Andy - Gina has a great idea. Mary - if
we'd had the party at my house this would not have happened - never!
Paul - I've got get out of here. Andy - I'm driving you - just wait a
minute - I'll tell Izzy ... look, Paul needs to wind down - I'll
drive him home. Izzy - good - just take him. Andy goes back to get

before I come over. Bug - no - not tonight, Michael - how could you
do it - this was all so senseless - good night. Bug sadly walks over
to window to look out at storm - when someone knocks on her door.
It's Paul! (Jack Smith suggests you tape tomorrow's show so you can
look at it twice!)

PERILOUS ROAD: At Memorial (with lightning and thunder outside) -
Ashley is listening to Olivia tell Dru she loves Brad - a good man
that kind and caring is easy to love. Dru - it must be hard to keep
this all inside. O - it is - but I have to for obvious reason -
talking to you really helps - if you don't mind - I need to finish
this paperwork before I leave. Dru - no problem - we can talk at
home - don't work too hard and don't stay too long - I'll see you
later. Dru goes out without seeing Ash lurking.
O puts up an x-ray - makes some notes - is standing at her desk when
Ash pushes the door open - confronts O about being in love with her
husband - I heard what you said to Dru - no wonder you want me to
tell Brad what I said on the tape - you want him to dump me so you
can have him for yourself - BTW - did you have sex with my husband?
O - heaven's no - things didn't go that far .. goes on to try make
Ash see that how she feels about Brad is like how Ash feels about
Victor - Brad is just a good friend who deserves to know the truth
about Abby. Ash admits she should have told Brad earlier - since that
didn't happen - it is now her call - I left you a message - I want my
tape back - I'm going to get rid of it and I want you to forget about
it too. O - I didn't get your message - the tape is at home. O calls
Rose - I'm leaving now but I may be back - come on Ash - let's go.
**Meanwhile - Dru gets home - hangs up her wet coat - then checks
phone messages - hears Ash ask for her tape back. Dru (aside) - O
said there was something special about that tape - where is it? Dru
finds tape and puts it in VCR - listens to Ash talk to Abby. O & Ash
come into 602 - Dru greets them - she chats with Ash while O goes to
get something for Ash. As Dru babbles on about stuff - Ash gets
impatient - I'm not a guest - I'm here to pick up something. O - here
you go (hands Ash envelope) Ash - thanks - I'll be going now. Dru -
talk to me - what was that all about? Exhausted O - Ash heard me
talking to you about Brad - things got bad - I'm drained - I can't
talk about now - I'm going to bed. Dru - you go get your rest - sleep
well. Dru sits down on sofa (aside) - Ash, you've hurt my sister -
you've lied to Brad - I'm not going to let you get off that easy.
She's holding a tape!

WORDS BY HEART: CC is alone in her room - she calls JT's cell - come
on be there! At CL - JT looks at his phone - it's CC - he doesn't
answer it. Mac blows in - puts down her umbrella - gives JT a ~hug~
JT - what are you doing here? I missed you so much I couldn't stay
away. JT - oh yeah. Mac actually I had a long weekend - my grandma
was happy to see me - and - I came home to vote. JT sips his coffee -
I leave that to people who care. Mac - I think it's so cool that we
can vote for the people we want to represent us - you should vote
too - how's it going? JT - you know me - great - lots of good
parties. Mac - isn't that your phone? JT pulls out his cell - looks
at it - doesn't answer it. Mac - who are you trying to duck? JT - if
you must know - it was CC - the adults don't want us to see each
other - they don't understand we are just friends - so I don't talk
to her. Mac figures CC means a lot more to JT than he is willing to
admit - who is that eyeing you? JT - Brianne - she's in my lit class -
  damn - I should check her out - hey, I'm getting back in my groove -
my public - what can I do?
**At Abbott's - John calls on Brad for help - I'm at my wit's end
with CC - she won't talk - hardly eats - she won't even go to dance
class! Brad wants some leeway to negotiate with her short of
rescinding John's grounding order. John - I wish you luck. CC comes
down for heart-to-heart with Daddy - if you say I'm not grounded and
I can choose my own friends - this will all be over. Brad - I'm sorry
I can't do that - but we should be able to work something out - at
least we can try. CC - it's that or nothing at all - heads up to her
room.
**Back at CL - when Brianne goes to fix her hair before she leaves
with JT - he pulls out cell to listen to CC's message - please, JT -
call me back - I miss you so much. JT walks out to patio - looks out
at storm - as montage of scenes with CC go through his head - `You
talk to me from your heart without saying a word' is playing in
background: study time - boutique ~kiss~ - dancing on patio - dance
recital - coffee at CL - and more!
At the same time - alone in her bedroom - CC is thinking about JT -
no words are necessary - touch of your hand tells me you'll never
leave me!

On ATWT, who was the surrogate mother of Darryl & Frannie's baby,
Carrie?


Last weeks Question & Answer:

What lab experiment error cost Ridge his eyesight on B&B?
While conducting a lab experiment  with a climatron (a machine that
controls
  tempatures), Brooke and Ridge unknowningly leaned on the temperature
gauge.
   The machine shot up to 900 degrees.  Shortly after Brooke left the
room, t
he climatron exploded, and the shrapnel left Ridge blind.

NO NO NO Michael
Nader (ex-Dimitri) has not been offered a chance to return to AMC. Nor
has he been offered a deal at "Guiding Light"...

"As the World Turns" star Jessica Dunphy (Alison) appears on "The
Sopranos"
Sunday night.

"I play A.J.'s girlfriend," Dunphy says. "She's such a departure from
Alison
  - she and Alison would never get along. It was so much fun to play."



DAVIDSON STAYS PUT

Speculation that Doug Davidson (Paul) is ready to throw in the towel
over an
  explosive storyline that's about to unfold on The Young and the
Restless ar
e highly exaggerated. In regards to the saga, which draws Paul into a
danger
ous intimate encounter, Davidson tells TV Guide Online "I'm not
leaving ...
[On Y&R], they write stories with care and thought, so I didn't even
conside
r it." Davidson is actually embracing the opportunity to explore a
different
  side of Paul's persona. "As an actor you live for moments where you
can pee
l off layers and reveal more dimension," he says. "From my
perspective, my j
ob is to have the audience understand what Paul's going through to
validate
his behavior." Davidson reveals what would make him call it quits. "It
would
  be something that I could in no way see happening to my character,"
he expl
ains, "something absurd, like joining al Qaeda."

Guiding Light will receive the first Sentinel Health Pioneer award fo
r the storyline revolving around Bert Bauer's battle with uterine
cancer - f
orty years after it aired. The award will be given at the Soap Summit
VII co
nference, which examines the state of the soap opera, on Oct. 26 in
Los Ange
les, Calif... Joshua Morrow (Nick, Y&R) and his wife Tobe welcomed
their fir
st child, Cooper Jacob, on Sept. 27...

ATWT is lookin
g for a dark, sexy, thirty-something male to fill out its cast...



Kassie DePaiva (Blair, OLTL) admits she'll have a hard time choosing
what di
sh to dig into first at this year's Feast With Famous Faces, a
fundraising g
ala benefiting the League for the Hard of Hearing. "With mango chutney
and s
eviche and every restaurant bringing in a new dish, I can't even do it
justi
ce," she exclaims. The Oct. 28 affair will pair 30 daytime stars and
newscas
ters with Manhattan's top chefs for a night of delicious dishes and
wines. D
ePaiva, along with her husband, fellow OLTL costar James DePaiva
(Max), will
  mark their fourth year as hosts of the upcoming event. "I do a lot of
the f
ootwork. [James] just gets to bask in the glory," says DePaiva with a
chuckl
e. The event has special meaning for the couple; their 5-year-old son
Jake i
s hearing impaired. "Jake is in a mainstream school now due to the
fact that
  he received such great services from the League and has progressed
beautifu
lly," she shares. Even with her real-life husband in tow, DePaiva
reveals sh
e's excited that an onscreen ex who doesn't do a lot of public
appearances w
ill bend the rules for this important occasion. "Phil Carey (Asa,
OLTL) will
  be there," she declares.



Advice from Joan Collins

  Joan Collins gives advice on how to make an entrance: "Never look as
if you
're lost. Look as if you know exactly where you're going. If you don't
know
where you're going, head straight to the bar." Joan also advises us to
read
the newspapers before going out. This makes for easy conversation -
even aft
er a couple of Cosmopolitans.

it's going to happen or not is a big, big question. There could be
more than one interruption. You've got Natalie floating around.
You've got Al...." Natalie and Cristian "may be together a little,
but it's not going to be smooth sailing for quite a while. The longer
we're able to keep them apart, the better it's going to be."

where you upload.
So, come on! Let's see those great photos!
****Bold and Beautiful's Executive Producer and Head Writer, Bradley Bell,
in his usual fashion, had asked all the B&B cast and crew not to talk about
the gripping storyline of Sheila Carter (Kimberlin Brown) shooting Dr. Taylor
Hayes (Hunter Tylo), before the fans had a chance to see the dramatic
episodes for themselves. However, while the complex plot was being developed
and taped by the show, Internet rumors were rife with speculation on the
storyline and Tylo's contract status. During the summer months, B&B plots
were boiling with the evildoings of bad girl Sheila Carter. Tylo's character,
Dr. Taylor Hayes, who for twelve years has epitomized the virtues of love and
compassion for the show's millions of fans worldwide, is the ideal contrast
to the murder and mayhem caused by Carter. "It's a clash of the titans,"
promises Bradley Bell. "Hunter's fans won't want to miss her sterling
performances battling the forces of evil determined to exact revenge on the
House of Forrester." For weeks, Internet message boards have been buzzing
with speculation by fans, who imagined off-screen rivalries, lawsuits and
temper tantrums by various members of the show's close-knit cast. "Contrary
to published rumors, all of our actors handled these scenes with the utmost
professionalism and civility," says Rhonda Friedman, Supervising Producer of
  B&B, adding "Hunter's scenes represent 'B&B' at its finest." Senior Producer
Ron Weaver, who handles the business matters for the show, emphatically
denies the allegations that Hunter Tylo ever "threatened litigation."

****Over at the Guiding Light don't look for Harley's daughter to return
anytime soon. The actress who portrayed Susan -- Brittany Snow -- has gone on
to prime time's American Dreams, which has just been picked up for a full
season. Snow, who plays Dreams' Meg, began on Guiding Light as Harley's
daughter, Susan, back in 1998. She left the show in 2001 and was quickly
snapped up by Hollywood for this prime time show. Meanwhile, on Dec. 20, look
for a 2-hour send-off for Melina Kanakaredes's (ex-Eleni) show, Providence.
The show, which lasted for five seasons, will bid the network adieu. In the
coming weeks though, keep an eye out for former daytimer, Lauren Holly
(ex-Julie, AMC) to make a guest appearance. Does this mean a return to GL for
Kanakaredes? Only time will tell, but considering the star is pregnant again,
anything is possible as daytime is notoriously mom-friendly for actresses.

****Fresh from his stint as Whip Jones on The Bold and the Beautiful, Rick
Hearst joins General Hospital as Daniel. ABC has cast the daytime veteran as
a mysterious stranger that Jason and Carly stumble upon on a South American
adventure. Once he lands in Port Charles, Daniel will be particularly
interested in the underworld of Alcazar and Sonny.
Hearst may be best known for his portrayal of Alan-Michael Spaulding
On Guiding Light but made his debut as Scotty Banning on Days of our Lives.
Later, he joined the cast of The Young and the Restless playing bad boy, Matt
Clark. Look for his first appearance on Friday, Nov. 8. ****Gretchen Palmer
(Serena), who joined The Young and the Restless in May,
has been released from the show. The actress will wrap up her six-month stint
on Nov. 15. "In my gut, I kind of knew it when Drucilla [played by Victoria
Rowell] came back," says Palmer of her release. "She's got such a great
following. I'm sad that I didn't get a chance to do scenes with her." Palmer
will remember her Y&R days fondly. "I had a great time and Kristoff [St. John
(Neil)] and I did some great work," she shares. Palmer, who recently put
together a new creative team, is looking forward to making the transition to
primetime. "Y&R made me ripe," she declares. "Acting on a soap makes you
better 100 percent." She'll stay on her toes, literally. "I teach dance to
children in Pasadena: Jazz, ballet, African as well as drama," she says. "We
put on little shows." Y&R states that they will miss Palmer and wish her the
best in future endeavors.

****According to sources who were there, Matha Byrne (Lily/Rose, ATWT) knows
how to throw a good party. Only a month after giving birth to her second son,
Maxwell, Byrne hosted the eighth annual Daytime Television Salutes St. Jude
Children's Research Hospital benefit on Oct. 18 at the Marriott Marquis in
New York City. The event catered to more than 700 guests and raised $200,000
for the facility dedicated to children suffering from catastrophic diseases,

regardless of their financial status. But Byrne credits the event's
incredible success to her mom, Mary. "The event wouldn't have been this big
without her... She was on the phone from 6 am to 10 pm calling about this and
that donation and reminding people." After witnessing the Tennessee-based
facility first hand during the As the World Turns bus tour, Agim Kaba (Aaron)
shared his experiences. "I was a little hesitant at first because I hate
seeing kids who are hurt," he shared candidly. "But it's a very happy
atmosphere... The way they make it like a family there, it's very
comfortable."With stars appearing from nine shows and both coasts, guests
were in for a night of surprises. Robin Christopher (Skye, GH) along with
husband Matt Crane (ex-Matt, AW) felt a nostalgic tug being back in the Big
Apple. "We lived here for 14 years, then we moved to Los Angeles and that's
where we live. But the minute we get back here and walk around the streets,
this feels like home."Rebecca Herbst (Elizabeth, GH) was eager to let her
husband, Michael Saucedo (ex-Juan, GH) take center stage to discuss his
newest musical project. "I'm going back into the studio and working with
[producer] Jelly Bean Benitez," he declared. Eager to return to GH, Saucedo
encouraged fans, "If you want me back, you have to write in and let them
know."Musical performances by the Party Dolls, and by daytime stars
themselves peppered the night. ATWT's Scott Holmes (Tom), in flannel and a
baseball cap and Paul Taylor (Isaac) got the crowd jumping with their own
rendition of Eminem's "Business." "I figured someone had to do him, and I'm
just the man to do it," Holmes declared. Kate Linder (Esther, Y&R), Days
Patrika Darbo (Nancy) and Kevin Spirtas (Craig), GL's Billy Kay (Shayne) and
others rushed the stage to shake their groove thang to the thumping
beat.Byrne aptly closed out the night singing "We are Family," and vowed to
be back next year. "Seeing this room and how amazing it is, it's got to be
here," she exclaimed.

****Congratulations go out to MELODY THOMAS SCOTT (Nikki, Y&R) who has been
ranked as the second most popular female personality by Women's Wear Daily's
"The Q Ratings." The survey was conducted by Marketing Evaluations Inc.

****Arianne Zuker (Nicole, Days) knows the secret to dressing your best.
Taking to the runway at Soap Opera Digest's 3rd Annual "Women of Style"
Fashion Runway Show and Benefit, Zuker wore a Bradley Bayou lace gown and
little else. "I did kick off my shoes," she exclaims. "Everyone likes to look
beautiful. But it's more about enjoying yourself and being comfortable in
your own skin." Her sentiments echo the goals of Dress for Success, the
charity the Oct. 22 event benefited. Dress for Success offers programs for
underprivileged women who want to enter the workforce and provides them with
donated professional clothing. Fellow daytimers Kelley Menighan Hensley
(Emily, ATWT) Eden Riegel (Bianca, AMC) and Crystal Chappell (Olivia, GL) and
several models displayed the designs of Bayou, Anne Bowen, Halston and Heidi
Weisel. Catherine Hickland's (Lindsay, OLTL) cosmetic company, Cat Cosmetics
(CatCosmetics.com), helped sponsor the event and provided all the makeup work
backstage. "I did Arianne and she looked gorgeous ... [The entire show] was a
big undertaking." Hickland, who just launched a skincare line, offers the key
to creating a flawless face. "You've got to have great skin," she declares.
"Start with a great canvas. Then paint it up!"

****Guiding Light takes home top honors at the 2002 SHINE Awards, which
recognizes television that portrays sexual issues in an enlightening manner.
The winning story revolved around Tony and Marah's prom night.

****The 'As the World Turns tour bus' continues on it's way. On Oct. 28,

University's Megan Goldkamp is Dara and University of Missouri's Soterios
Vainalis plays Alex... Beginning Oct. 31, Butler University's Jon Rowland

NEWS, COMING & GOINGS



Moss recalls filming Taylor-made finale

In a daring move, "The Bold and the Beautiful" will kill beloved Dr. Taylor
Forrester on today's episode.

"Ridge and Taylor share a dance," says Ronn Moss, who plays Taylor's loving
husband, Ridge. "It's more of a standing embrace to music; one last in-your-
arms moment."

Then Taylor dies, the sole victim of a bloody shootout with Sheila last week
.

When the action picks up Monday, Ridge's mom, Stephanie, will enter Taylor's
  hospital room to find Ridge collapsed in grief on the floor.

"It's hard for me to talk about," says Moss, who is very close to Hunter Tyl
o, who played Taylor. "It was very, very hard to tape it. It was kind of lik
e it was really happening. We haven't sat down after the fact and gone over
how we feel about [Tylo being let go], but we both know."

As next week plays out, the bad news will spread, and the Forresters will ha
ve to plan Taylor's funeral.

"It had to be hard for her to lie there during that open-casket type of fune
ral," Moss says. But "it's not drawn out too long; it's pretty short and swe
et."

There are fireworks at the funeral, too, courtesy of Taylor's father. "He's
not too happy with Brooke being there and he makes that known," says Moss. "
Brooke and Taylor were getting along great when she died, but Taylor's dad d
oesn't know that. He's been out of the loop."

And don't think Ridge won't have choice words for Sheila, either.

The toughest thing for Ridge will be having to deal with their three childre
n.

"Just getting through it is all Ridge is concerned with now," Moss says. "He
's just getting on with his life and making sure his kids go through their o
wn grieving. We all forget to do that. We have a tendency in this society to
  negate that side [of death] and just expect everyone to move on. It doesn't
  happen that fast."

Well, on soaps, it does. Look for newcomer Dr. Tricia Quick - a grief counse
lor - to help Ridge through his loss.


Who's Going To Italy?

When THE BOLD & THE BEAUTIFUL tapes scenes in Portofino, Italy, the week of
November 4 (to air in December), cast members making the trip will include:
Darlene Conley (Sally), Jennifer Finnigan (Bridget), Susan Flannery (Stephan
ie), Winsor Harmon (Thorne), Joe Mascolo (Massimo), John McCook (Eric), Dan
McVicar (Clark) and Ronn Moss (Ridge).

PALMER OFF Y&R

Gretchen Palmer (Serena), who joined The Young and the Restless in May, has
been released from the show. The actress will wrap up her six-month stint on
  Nov. 15. "In my gut, I kind of knew it when Drucilla [played by Victoria Ro
well] came back," says Palmer of her release. "She's got such a great follow
ing. I'm sad that I didn't get a chance to do scenes with her." Palmer will
remember her Y&R days fondly. "I had a great time and Kristoff [St. John (Ne
il)] and I did some great work," she shares.

Palmer, who recently put together a new creative team, is looking forward to
  making the transition to primetime. "Y&R made me ripe," she declares. "Acti

Sex the Best Beauty Treatment, Says Joan Collins

For 69-year-old British actress Joan Collins, sex is one of the best and che
apest beauty treatments there is.

The actress, currently on husband No. 5, said she was not a fan of plastic s
urgery, telling BBC World Service in an interview: "I think liposuction is s
omething so horrible -- they have so many disasters with it."


"Dolly Parton has face like a doll, you know, it doesn't look right to me,"
said the actress, currently promoting her new book "Joan's Way -- looking go
od, feeling great."


Collins said she was convinced that sex was "one of the best and cheapest be
auty treatments there is."

Meet the new 'It Girl': Ashley Williams (ex-ATWT) of Good Morning Miami
Nearly every TV season brings a newly designated "It Girl."


Last fall, Jennifer Garner of Alias was clearly "It." In years before that s
he was Keri Russell of Felicity. Jenna Elfman of Dharma & Greg. Sarah Michel
le Gellar of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. A title first bestowed on silent-scre
en siren Clara Bow, "It Girl" had racier overtones 75 years ago. Now, in the
  television age, "It" anoints an emerging starlet who - by some alchemy of h
ype, buzz and happenstance - seems to lead the pack in fresh-faced appeal ..
. a gal the whole nation can have a crush on.


This fall, Ashley Williams is a shoo-in with her new romantic comedy, Good M
orning Miami, which airs on NBC Thursday at 9:30 p.m. EDT.


She plays Dylan Messinger, the pixieish hairstylist for a local morning TV s
how whose snarky host (played by Matt Letscher) she is dating - much to the
consternation of the show's just-hired producer (Mark Feuerstein), who is no
t only Dylan's new boss but also her tormented secret admirer.


And can any viewer blame him? With her larky presence and dazzling smile, Dy
lan (that is, Williams) is the essence of It-itude.


"They needed a new Fall face," says Williams, flashing that smile gratefully
, "and I was right there, with bells on."


In town during a production break from the Los Angeles-based series, she has
  joined a reporter for lunch at a mid-Manhattan restaurant, making her entra
nce clad in jeans, peasant blouse and suede jacket, grinning hello, plopping
  in her seat and demurely parking her gum in a tissue. All much like Dylan m
ight.


Williams, who turns 24 next month, has come a long way since March, when she
  won the role.


On the other hand, she is no beginner. As a youngster growing up just outsid
e of New York, she staged living-room productions with her brother and older
  sister, Kimberly (who now co-stars on the ABC sitcom According to Jim). "Ou
r parents' poor dinner guests would be forced to sit through our performance
s," she recalls.


By her early teens, she was appearing in commercials.


Then she managed to juggle her high school studies with a regular role on th
e CBS soap As the World Turns.


She played Dani Andropoulos, whom she describes as initially "this really sm
art girl next door.


"But after six months of doing that, I marched into the executive producer's
  office and said, 'I think that my character should go through a giant rebel
lion.' He said, 'Really?' And I said, 'I will do anything! Let's spice 'er u
p.'


"He renewed my contract and chopped off my hair! Soon I was drinking, drugge
d my boyfriend and did a lot of lurking in dark corners talking to myself."
She was on her way.


Completing high school in 1997, Williams left World ("They sent my character
  to Helsinki, Finland") and headed to Boston University's theatre conservato
ry, where "nobody there knew I had been on a soap. For the first time I was
a normal kid."


After college, she spent time at the Williamstown Theatre Festival in Massac
husetts and understudied for the off-Broadway hit The Shape of Things.


Then last winter, she set out for Los Angeles, where, after landing at her s
ister's house and borrowing a friend's car, she wangled an audition for Good
  Morning Miami.


"In the pilot script, the character is sort of a mystery," says Williams. "S
o the night before the audition, I made a list of What Did She Really Want,
and What Was At Her Core - all of the actor's homework stuff I'd learned in
college.


"After I read for the producers, they said, 'What did you do to prepare for
this audition?' I pulled out my journal and leafed through 67 pages of notes
.


"They must have thought, 'Oh, my God, at least she's nerdy enough to commit.
' I think that's what got me the screen test."


A half-year and "a mind-boggling miracle" later, Williams is plushly lodged
on Must-See TV, not to mention living just a block from her sister (they hav
e the same commute to the studio lot where both their series shoot).


And as she presses on toward long-term success, she's relishing her moment i
n the "It" Parade.


"A wild ride!" she says, beaming. "I'm really thrilled to have the 'It Girl'
  spot until the next 'It Girl' comes along."

Dear Suds Buds:
Real nip of fall in the air here in sunny southern CA. I was out for
my morning constitutional, otherwise known as my training for the
Avon 3-Day Breast Cancer Walk which is rapidly approaching, and
leaves were beginning to change color. Yup. That's correctomundo. The
leaves do change color here in LA. It snows here, too. Up in the
mountains. You can see the snow-capped mountain peeks -- or drive 60
miles for a nice ski weekend -- yet live in 65-70 degree temps all
week long. You really can't beat southern California weather.
Know what else you can't beat? The continuing stories that are
daytime drama. Every season, every year, writers craft plots and
storylines that engage us. Sometimes we get a little frustrated by
what we feel is lackluster writing or contrived plots. But whatever
they're doing, they're doing it right, cos we are hooked! We tune in
day after day for our regular dose and crab and moan when our daily
fix is pre-empted.
Did you know that on the average, soap writers pump out about 600
pages of material a week? Yipes! Incredible, huh? It may not be
Shakespeare every day, but who'd want all that iambic pentameter
anyway? LOL

More B&B Stars Off Contract

A wave of casting changes at The Bold and the Beautiful reportedly
has the entire cast concerned about their respective futures with the
soap.

Within the past few weeks, the show has released nearly half a dozen
contract performers, including long-time fixture Hunter Tylo (Taylor
Forrester). The show has also ditched most of the new faces it has
added within the last year. The latest casualties are Tracy Melchior
(Kristen Forrester) and Paolo Benedeti (Antonio Dominguez).


From tvguide.com

GL EXEC TO DEPART
Guiding Light's executive producer Paul Rauch, who will step down
next month, is just pleased there are six years to look back
on. "When I came [on in 1996], the show was ready for cancellation,"
he tells TV Guide Online. "I managed to save it and keep it on the
air." Telling stories that revolve around GL's core families helped
Rauch revitalize the show and bring top names to the daytime
canvas. "We just added Joan Collins (Alexandra), which was a big
accomplishment, and costume designer Patricia Field, who won the Emmy
for Sex and the City," he says.
Since launching his soap career with Procter & Gamble back in 1960,
Rauch has made significant changes in daytime's look and feel. "I
created the first hour-long [format] in daytime with Another World
back in 1975," he recalls. Rauch hopes his GL successor will continue
to build on the foundation he's laid. "I've got to believe that
whoever comes in will take a fresh approach to the show, but with the
very strong group of actors and characters the audience is familiar
with."
Upon his departure, Rauch will devote more time to producing feature
films. "I did a movie for Showtime last year, Run the Wild Fields,
and it won an Emmy, so I was very encouraged by that." But Rauch
declares this isn't the end of his 40-plus-year career in soaps. "I
just need a break from it for a while, but I'd be glad to do daytime
again." According to GL soap vet Robert Newman (Josh), Rauch's input
will be missed. "He's a tough guy to get to know, but once you do,
you see he's got a great handle on a lot of things." The actor
credits GL's sleeker style to Rauch. "When he's looking at that
screen, he sees it as a canvas," says Newman. "I think the show looks
better now than it ever looked in all the 15 years before when I was
with the show."
MELCHIOR'S NEXT MOVE
Tracy Melchior (Kristen) is riding high. Even though she's been
bumped down to recurring status on The Bold and the Beautiful, the
free time is allowing her and her horse, Loette, to compete in the
U.S. Arabian Nationals this weekend in Louisville, Ky. The lifelong
rider will strut her stuff in the Country English Pleasure class as
she vies for top honors. "My goal is to make top 10," she
says. "Anything above that will be icing on the cake."
Her downgraded status at B&B is still a surprise for Melchior. "I
knew I hadn't been working but I thought they'd find something for
me, especially since I play a Forrester," she says candidly. But the
actor notes that even though she's seen less onscreen doesn't mean
she's off for good. "I am still Kristen Forrester," she reassures
fans. "She's just not as active in the storyline." Melchior will
spend more time with her young son Kyle and seek out other acting
opportunities, preferably in daytime. "I like the lifestyle of
soaps," she says. "It's not 3 am calls in Zimbabwe ... I would rather
quit the business than have a job where I couldn't see my child."
Sources says that B&B is searching for a man and woman in their late
50s to join its roster.

Joan Collins (Alexandra, GL) is once again resurrected as Dynasty's
original catfight queen. The classic primetime sudster joins the
Soapnet lineup beginning Nov. 4 (10 am ET/PT).
To do over her "rumpus room," The Young and the Restless's Heather
Tom (Victoria) called in the experts. Joining forces with Ethan
Allen, Tom left her den to the professionals for the TV series Famous
Homes & Hideaways (SYN). "All the stuff we didn't know what to do
with ended up down there," Tom tells TV Guide Online. At first, the
actress was hesitant to put her trust in a designer's hands. "I
usually don't like to work with them because I know what I like," she
explains. Bringing together a look that was eclectic retro and shabby
chic won Tom over. "I was incredibly happy," she says of the finished
project. Tom's favorite piece in the room is a glass cabinet which
houses antique pottery. A bay window has become a cozy sitting nook
adorned with overstuffed pillows. The only compromise was the couch —
a leather sofa now anchors the room. "It works," she concludes. Tom's
room makeover airs nationally throughout the week.

B&B Newcomer Feels Right At Home
The Bold and the Beautiful is bringing another new cast member into
the fold. Tamara Davies (ex-Amy Harris, Port Charles) has joined B&B
as grief counselor, Tricia Quick. Tricia is introduced to the
storyline as an old college friend of Taylor's. We caught up with
Tamara at the cast photo shoot, where she appeared to fit right in
with the fun-loving B&B cast. Tamara was horsing around with fellow
B&B actors -- typical of the cast photo shoots. Whenever the whole
cast gets together, things can get a little chaotic. Tamara was
thrilled by the warm welcome she has received from the show. "When I
tested, everyone made me feel at home. I want to stress the fact that
everybody here, especially Ronn Moss [Ridge] and the stage manager
were welcoming, loving, accepting and open; they just made me feel so
comfortable. And nothing has changed. Everybody else on the set, the
crew and the cast included, are wonderful people to work with. It's
funny because you have this perception about soaps that people take
themselves really seriously and nobody does here!" Watch for Tamara's
first airdate on Oct. 29, and keep checking back here for an in-depth
interview with B&B latest addition.

Preview for Oct. 14-18
Ridge and Stephanie come upon an expected scene. Rick questions

GL

Beth Chamberlin stepped into the role of Phillip Spaulding's (Grant
Aleksander) high-school sweetheart, Beth Raines, in 1989, and has
played the role on and off for almost thirteen years. In that time,
Beth has been a victim, a heroine, a schemer, a princess and even a
con artist named Lorelei. But never, ever before has Beth been a
liberated, confident sexual being. Until now. Beth's caution-to-the-
wind affair with the much younger (born in 1984) Bill Lewis has taken
the character in a whole new direction. And actress Beth Chamberlin
couldn't be happier...
Beth v. 2:
We are seeing a whole new Beth. She comes into her own after leaving
Phillip. Here's an analogy I'm using: My (real-life) husband got me
this Chinese plant. It was a little plant in my dining room. I've had
it for a year and I've watered it and taken care of it, but it always
stayed the same size. It looked perfectly healthy but it stayed the
same size. I thought, "Well, it's supposed to stay small." Recently,
I put it in my living room, which has a lot more light. Well, within
two weeks the thing became huge! It was sitting there with all this
stored energy, and when it got in the right environment, instead of
growing at a normal rate, it grew at this accelerated rate and just
went all over the place. And that's exactly what I feel is going on
with Beth right now.
The Greening of Beth:
She and Philip have this love that they will always have, but she
wasn't in the right environment to grow. She wasn't getting enough
light and air, because Philip was protecting her so much. And now,
she's getting all this light and air and she's just growing and
blossoming and feeling strong. She's feeling sexy. Beth, because of
her stepfather and all the things that happened there, was a little
bit repressed sexually. But she's finally let that go. She is not a
victim of her ghosts anymore. Cutting her tie to Philip cut her tie
to that path. So, she's feeling like a sexy woman, she's feeling like
a powerful woman. She feels bold. And I think that she just wants to
taste everything and wants to experience everything that Philip
protected her from for so long.
Lorelei Lore:
Beth realized that unless she understood Lorelei and unless she
embraced the qualities that Lorelei had, she was destined to become
Lorelei again. Lorelei had to come out because Beth was repressing
things. In investigating what she was repressing, a part of her
started to admire Lorelei. There were stories that Bill would tell
her about things that Lorelei did and Beth would think, "I did that?
I walked into a room and would play pool and would blow all these big
cowboys away... I did that?" It was empowering to her. That was the
first indication for her that she wanted to take on some of those
qualities. She realized that she was more powerful than she ever
thought she was.
Lizzie Grows Up:
It is different to play the mother of a teenager. It's actually
helpful for me because I now can deal with Lizzie in a strong way and
talk to her like an adult and demand that she hear me and demand that
she respect me because that is something you can do with a teenager.
It's definitely an adjustment but it works for me. I hope that having
a teenage daughter compels Beth to make the decision that for her
(Beth) to keep her light under a bushel and not reach her potential
doesn't do her daughter any good, ultimately. In general, any woman,
especially when she has a daughter, does her daughter the most
benefit by being the most powerful woman that she can be, and giving
her a role model that is a powerful woman.
WEEK OF OCTOBER 14

Sneak Peek
Monday, October 14, 2002, Episode #3902
  Seeing Massimo with Stephanie, Sheila realizes he brought Stephanie
to her -- and when Mass breaks down the door, Sheila proclaims that
he can die with Stephanie and opens fire, but misses.
  Hearing the police on their way, Sheila flees, leaving Stephanie and
Massimo to free Amber.
  While up at the mansion with Hope, Brooke admits to Eric that she
has thought about what would have happened had they stayed together --
  and she thinks she could have had him back if she wanted him.
  Brooke confesses that in the past, she would have gone after Eric
without hesitation had she wanted to, but she now is adult enough to
see how doing that would hurt Stephanie.

  Rick continues to resist Erica's seduction attempts, although she
keeps coming at him until he stops to answer a knock at the door.
  Rick finds Ridge at the door, who tells him all about Sheila being
in town as the person who set Amber up -- and before Erica, who
overhears, can sneak out, Ridge introduces Rick to Mary Warwick,
a.k.a. Erica.
  Rick doesn't want to hear Erica's excuses for what she and Sheila
did and demands to know where Amber is, but he then gets a call from
Amber, who tells him she's fine and is coming home!
  Back at the mansion, Eric hears the door and thinks Brooke has come
back -- but he's shocked to see that it's Sheila!

Bell On Leave -- But This One Should Be Shorter
                       Posted Sunday, October 06, 2002 11:14:49 PM

                       Lauralee Bell (Christine Williams) has once
again taken maternity
                       leave from The Young and the Restless. But fans
of the actress
                       can rest assured that this leave will be much
shorter than the
                       nearly one-and-a-half-year break she took last
time around.

                       Bell and husband Scott Martin are expecting
their second child, a girl, in November. Bell
                       expects to return to work by year's end, but a
definitive return date has not yet been set.

                       Bell took her previously maternity leave in
December 2000 and didn't return to active duty on
                       the show until March 2002. During her extended
absence, Bell did make several cameo
                       appearances.

B&B'S NEW LEADING LADY
Former Port Charles angel Tamara Davies (ex-Amy) is getting her
second chance — in daytime. Adding another soap vet to its canvas,
Davies will join The Bold and the Beautiful as Tricia. Davies turned
to her higher power to see if she'd land the coveted role. "I was
sitting at a café with my boyfriend, and our waiter was a guy who
wants to act, write and direct. I told him to keep the faith. I got
the call [that I had landed the part] right there."
While Davies will play a psychologist who specializes in bereavement
counseling, the actress hints that her character will be focusing on
romance. "There may be a love interest for me or a love triangle,"
she teases. Davies will be seen in another light, that of
geophysicist, in Scorcher, which premieres on HBO on Oct. 4 (8pm/ET).
The sci-fi flick is heavy on technical dialogue which hardly phased
Davies, a self-proclaimed geology and geometry buff. "If I hadn't
been an actress, I would have been a scientist," she says. "I was
telling the crew what they could and could not do."
Davies's first airdate is scheduled for Oct. 29.
SOAPCENTER'S BACK
SoapCenter, Soapnet's news magazine show, is back with new episodes
beginning Oct. 7 (7:30 pm ET/PT). Host Tanika Ray promises that this
year's season will be a interactive odyssey as she joins soap stars
in their journeys off the set. "We're getting the inside scoop on
their personal lives so that the audience can have more of a
connection with them," Ray declares. From celeb home tours to charity
functions, Ray shows no fear as she joins daytime's finest in a
variety of adventures. She'll tap dance with Kate Linder (Esther,
Y&R), rock climb with Jason Cook (Shawn, Days) and sweat it out in
boot camp with Alison Sweeney (Sami, Days). "We went to her favorite
gym where there's this teacher yelling; you run on a treadmill, lift
weights, do pushups and get back on the treadmill," Ray explains. "I
told Alison, 'Girl, you're the bomb'... She goes as much as she can
when she's not working, and you can just see her dedication and self-
motivation."
A daytime devotee herself, Ray confirms that one of the best parts of
her job is meeting the soaps' hottest men. "They are so damn
beautiful," she exclaims. "It's so wonderful to sit across from a
gorgeous man, you almost get tongue tied."
DAYTIME TIDBITS
Lauren Koslow (Kate, Days) will crossover to her former soap, The
Bold and the Beautiful, to make a cameo appearance as Margo Lynley,
Mark MacClaine's mom, on Oct. 31 and Nov. 1. In return, Joe Mascolo
(Massimo, B&B) will briefly reprise his role as Stefano DiMera on
Days... B&B's Tracey Melchior (Kristen) has been bumped to recurring
status... Hunter Garner (ex-Billy, ATWT) will appear in an episode of
The Parkers later this month. He plays Marcus, Stevie's boyfriend...
Rumor has it that an East Coast soap may replace a relative newcomer
with a more seasoned performer.

CASTING CALL
As the World Turns: On Oct. 7, Ron Simons and Kelly Brady play
reporters and Jason Field plays a mover... On Oct. 9, Marjorie
Johnson and Angela Fie appear as a cop and prisoner; Nathan Hosner
and Itanza Wooden portray court guards, and Craig Baldwin plays a
minister... On Oct. 10, Gina Ahn and Marc Lovci play cops and Doug
Howe appears as a waiter... On Oct. 11, Henry Lopez portrays a cop

The Bold and the Beautiful: Greg Collins, Gene Arrington and Dan
Martin play police officers on Oct. 8.
Guiding Light: Nicole Alifante is Alan's nurse on Oct. 8... Beginning
Oct. 8, Faye Wolf plays Sunny, Marah's roommate... Brent Crawford is
Christopher on Oct. 10... Look for Gene Ferber to play a speed dating
participant and Eric Dorsey to play a bouncer on Oct. 11.
ODDS AND ENDS
The Young and the Restless viewers living in the Los Angeles area,
take note. Beginning Oct. 7, the show will air at 11:30am/PT.

Kim Brockington (Felicia, GL) has spent the last week playing Zora
Neale Hurston (1891-1960) in a one-woman show at the Kennedy Center
in Washington D.C. To embody the soul of the famed African-American
author, Brockington did a lot more than just learn her lines. "I want
to make her live as much as possible, I want to do her justice," says
Brockington, who read all of Hurston's published pieces and personal
correspondences before bringing her to life on stage. Brockington
mastered Hurston's accent while taping the role for a PBS
documentary, which will air in 2004. "She has a real strong Southern
dialect and Floridian accent," Brockington explains. "She grew up in
Edenville, Fla., the first town governed by African-Americans."
Brockington really feels she's in the role when she slips into
Hurston's inspired attire. "I wear something Joan Crawford-looking,
the chinchilla coat with fur, and Hurston was known for her hats,"
she describes. "I have this great hat with a feather, and a red dress
I wore in the PBS special." Brockington guides the audience through
Hurston's life, as the author looks back at her rise and fall during
the creatively charged time known as the Harlem Renaissance. "[At
that point] Hurston's tattered; she's not the success she was. But
this is a woman who's been places," Brockington relays with
pride. "She wrote such beautiful, poetic language about the African-
American experience in the 1940s. If you take a look at hip-hop
culture, it was born out of Hurston's work. This woman was so far
ahead of her time." Brockington wraps up her show with a sold-out
performance on Oct. 5.

News:  Paul Rauch Leaves GL
Paul Rauch -- long regarded as one of the soap world's most
innovative and charismatic producers -- will step down as Guiding
Light's top gun when his contract expires on Nov. 9. This
announcement, made by Procter & Gamble, comes practically on the
occasion of the 30th anniversary of his rise to daytime fame.
In 1972, Rauch took over the producing reins at Another World --
hired such enduring talents as Victoria Wyndham, Douglas Watson and
Beverlee McKinsey – and working side-by-side with head writer Harding
Lemay, quickly catapulted the Bay City soap to the top of the
ratings. In 1975, on the strength of the Rauch/Lemay creative track
record, NBC expanded the half-hour show to a one-hour format -- an
unprecedented (and truly risky) daytime move. The experiment
succeeded so well (and brought in such huge advertising dollars as
ratings continued to climb) that NBC's Days of our Lives and ABC's
All My Children soon followed suit. Today, eight of the ten soaps on
the networks' daytime schedule are 60 minutes in length. In 1984,
Rauch segued to One Life to Live, where he also improved ratings by
insisting on strong storytelling and encouraging the show's writers
to think out of the box. During the Rauch years, OLTL became famous
for truly visionary plots of epic proportions, including Viki's out-
of-body trip to Heaven, Clint's accidental fall down a gopher hole
(time tunnel) that carried him back to the 1880s Wild West, and a sci-
fi treasure hunt in a lost underground city called Eterna. While
creatively nurturing young talents like Fiona Hutchison, James
DePaiva and Roma Downey (who played an early British version of
Meadow Soprano), Rauch also managed to enlist the internationally
acclaimed South African playwright Athol Fugard to do a short stint
as blind lighthouse speaker. In the 1990s, after a two-year run at
Santa Barbara, Rauch returned to P&G and took over at the reins at
Guiding Light where he continued to make headlines by attempting
daytime's first cloning storyline, expanding the show's ethnicity,
and -- most recently -- casting Joan Collins as Alexandra Spaulding.
Over the years, Rauch has earned Daytime Emmys® for Another World,
First Ladies Diaries and the children's special, Run the Wild Fields.
In 1989, Millimeter magazine included him in their list of landmark
film and television producers. He was the only daytime television
producer selected.

ATWT forecast

Coming up the Week of October 7
Carly picks a theme for her wedding sure to upset Jack. (And no, it's
not an All-Craig theme.)
Molly's apartment is broken into.
Will wakes up and stuns Barbara with his actions.
Henry gets a new job.
Paul blackmails Jessica.

B&B

Erica tempts Rick. Amber is terrorized. Bridget thinks C.J. is
jealous. Stephanie starts to put the pieces together. Taylor has
faith in Amber.

As the World Turns College Bus Tour for Talent Takes St. Louis'
Webster U by Storm!
OnSeptember 10, 2002, the Post Dispatch of St. Louis, MO reported on
the amazing turnout garnered by the As the World Turns casting tour
bus when it arrived at WebsterUniversity. Some of those waiting to
audition that Monday, September 9th, bided their time by going over
actor information sheets that ATWT required them to complete. As you
may or may not know, As the World turns is on a nationwide search for
three speaking parts as well as extras. Almost 400 people showed up
at Webster U on this leg of the search to try out! Here's the whole
story...
From Students to Teachers to Librarians, They Came Seeking Fame
By Aisha Sultan with Television Critic Gail Pennington, The Post-
Dispatch, St. Louis (reprinted with permission).
Would-be soap opera stars showed up in such numbers when As the World
Turns brought its casting bus to WebsterUniversity on Monday, that
they created a fire hazard before security guards turned the crowd
outdoors.
Beginning before 10 a.m., almost 400 people formed a line that wound
through the lobby of the Loretto-HiltonCenter, past the backstage
area and started down the stairs. Even after the line was moved
outside, the heat didn't deter those who had been waiting more than
four hours for a shot at stardom.
Webster is the first of 10 campuses the "As the World Turns" casting
bus will visit. The CBS soap's crew will return Monday to shoot
scenes here; two episodes featuring the footage will be broadcast in
October.
By late Monday, casting director Mary Clay Boland already knew who
had won two of the three available speaking roles. Megan Goldcamp of
Chesterfield, who attends NorthwesternUniversity, will play Dara, the
only woman in the group. Benjamin Mathes, a WebsterUniversity student
from Atlanta, landed one of the two male roles, with the other still
to be decided. In addition, some of those who auditioned will be cast
as extras, and during shooting next week, anyone in the vicinity
stands to wind up on camera.
The "Catch Us If You Can" bus tour is an attempt to raise the profile
of "As the World Turns" - which debuted in 1956 - among younger
viewers. In addition, the tour gives the show a chance "to connect
with our fans . . . and allow us a peek at up-and-coming talent, all
at the same time," said Mary Alice Dwyer-Dobbin, executive in charge
of production for Procter & Gamble Productions, which makes the show.
Dwyer-Dobbin is a native St. Louisan who attended WebsterUniversity
(then college) and is a member of its board. She suggested her alma
mater to executive producer Christopher Goutman, who had already put
St. Louis on the tour's itinerary. "As the World Turns" is set in
fictional Oakdale, Ill., so a St. Louis stop is logical, Goutman said
during a visit last month to scout locations. The story line has
three of the show's young characters, Lucy, Alison and Aaron, running
away and hiding at schools in nine states.
Sarah Demmon, a special education teacher at CrystalCityHigh School,
skipped school to audition on Monday because, she said, she is "ready
to hit it big." Like many of the applicants, Demmon's only previous
experience involved parts in high school plays.
Demmon wasn't the only one playing hooky. Tiffany Winkler and Eileen
Costello, both seniors at BellevilleEastHigh School, ditched classes
to see if they could win a part. Tiffany videotapes her favorite
soaps every day and watches them when she comes home. "We love soap
operas," Eileen said.
But even those who have never watched a daytime drama figured they
had a chance. Pete Cooper, 44, a librarian in St. LouisCounty,
watches only PBS. But he stood in the 90-degree-plus temperature in a
suit, patiently waiting his turn in the casting bus.
"I've got the morning off," he said. "I figured I'd give it a
shot . . . If I get it, OK; if not, I've got a job."
The show's publicist estimates that almost 400 people tried out
Monday. The bus was supposed to leave at 2 p.m. but didn't get away
until almost 5.
The talent search's focus on college students and younger actors
didn't prevent all types and ages from seeking an audition. Seventy-
year-old Elizabeth Kellett has been chasing her 15 minutes of fame
since high school, when she failed to land a part in any production.
She carried a white plastic chair with her to sit in as the line
inched forward.
The more professional types brought photos and resumes and dressed in
trendy outfits with makeup and hairstyles befitting a soap opera
performer.
Others were less devoted. Plenty of students stopped by out of
curiosity, wearing flip-flops and jeans. Jim O'Donnell, 28, a biology
major at WebsterUniversity, plans to pursue a doctorate in
epidemiology. He needed to fill a slot in his schedule this fall, so
he signed up for Advanced Acting. If he had known the audition was a
required assignment, he probably wouldn't have taken the class,
O'Donnell said.
He figures his chances of landing a role are slim to none. "I'm too
old and too fat. . . . I'm not very pretty."

DRAPER'S NEXT MOVE
As TV Guide Online reported last week, Courtnee Draper is leaving The
Bold and the Beautiful; her last airdate is Oct. 22, the show has
confirmed. But this plucky gal has already snagged a new role, that
of college student. "I'm getting my general education at a junior
college, and eventually I'd like to transfer to a university," says
Draper, who plans to study psychology, law or interior design. Draper
will have to balance her classes with the auditions and other acting
gigs she will continue to pursue. "I'm going out for a lot of things,
but feature films are what I'm passionate about." Not that departing
B&B is pure bliss. "It is sad that I'm leaving the show," she
confesses, "but it was good to come in on a front story, to do that
for six months and work with such incredible people." Draper adds
with a tease, "They're not killing me off, so there's always a chance
of coming back."
During her short B&B stint, fans got the chance to hear Draper sing,
a talent she uses to help those less fortunate. "I'm part of Kids
with a Cause (kidswithacause.org), a non-profit charity for
handicapped, abused and neglected children," she explains. "We put
out a [benefit] CD, and I perform three songs." It's a full plate for
the average 17-year-old, but Draper can handle the double
portion. "I'm a firm believer that ... when one door closes, another
opens, and they are opening rapidly."
TALK OF THE TOWN
To debut their new film, Tinsel Town, Paul Taylor (Isaac, ATWT) and
his partner, writer/director Kenneth DelVecchio, knew a VCR in the
family basement wouldn't do. So they turned to New Hampshire. On
November 9, the state will host the movie's premiere and a reception
at the Concord Capitol Center for the Arts, with a portion of the
proceeds to benefit HIV and AIDS research. "I never recall a governor
declaring a movie weekend," exclaims Taylor, who is Tinsel Town's
producer, music supervisor and lead actor, "let alone a movie of this
budget."
The film stems from a dark premise. "A Christmas tree wears tinsel to
dress it up, so do human beings," he recites, explaining that all the
characters hide their true personalities behind socially acceptable
masks. Taylor portrays Cracker Jack, a Harvard Law graduate who turns
to a life of crime. When Cracker Jack gets a chance to pay for his
sins, "it's not the usual offer," the actor says temptingly, "and the
resolution is something to behold."
Taylor may be making a name for himself in the film industry, but he
has no plans to abandon his daytime roots. "There are several things
I haven't accomplished [on ATWT] yet," he reveals. "I think it would
be a crime to move on to another arena before I accomplish those
things. So that's why I want to stay."
Steven Ford will reprise his role as Andy Richards on Y&R in October;
Beth Maitland will be back as Tracy, Colleen's mom, in November...

Parisse To Make Another Return
Posted Sunday, September 15, 2002 11:17:15 PM

Emmy-nominated Annie Parisse (Julia Lindsey) will be returning to As
The World Turns just in time for the big November Sweeps period.

If the news is a surprise to you, you don't have to thank Soap Opera
Central for going undercover to expose the story - for one reason or
another the show actually made the big reveal on its official web
site. The announcement has puzzled some industry insiders, who note
that many programs have been taking huge measures to keep plot
secrets… well, a secret.

Parisse was last seen as Julia in March, but her exit was more than
memorable. Julia forced Barbara to drive her to an undisclosed
location. There, before making her escape, Julia handed Barbara a
pregnancy test that revealed that she was supposedly pregnant with
Jack's child.

The exact date of Parisse's return has not yet been announced. Her
return will be short-term.

Dietz To Join B&B Cast
Posted Sunday, September 15, 2002 10:33:06 PM

Michael Dietz (ex Joe Scanlon, Port Charles; ex Alan-Michael
Spaulding, Guiding Light) will join the cast of The Bold and the
Beautiful next month.

Dietz will play the role of Mark, a new contract role for the show.
Like Dietz's previous roles on ABC's Port Charles and CBS's Guiding
Light, Mark will be a doctor.

According to inside source, Dietz landed the part after his good
friend and former cast mate Kin Shriner (Scott Baldwin, General
Hospital/Port Charles) suggested that he hire Michael Bruno as his
manager/agent. Within three weeks of Dietz and Bruno's agreement,
Dietz had landed the role on B&B.

Dietz makes his first appearance on October 2nd.

B&B Actress Says Her Character Is a Goner

For some fans of The Bold and the Beautiful, there's an odd sense of
déja vu surrounding an announcement by actress Hunter Tylo (Taylor
Hayes Forrester) that her character will be written out of the show
in the future.

It was barely a year ago when the actress announced that she and the
show had reached an impasse in contract negotiations and that she
would be exiting the role she'd held since 1990. A matter of a few
weeks later, CBS released a statement saying that the actress had
been signed to a new contract.

From tvguide.com

B&B TO RELEASE ACTORS
The revolving door continues at The Bold and the Beautiful. Although
the news is unconfirmed by the show, a source tells TV Guide Online
that B&B is prepared to release several more actors from its canvas.
Topping the list is Paulo Benedeti (Tony), who has been on the
backburner since his HIV-positive storyline came to a close. Also
rumored to be leaving is Courtnee Draper (Erica), Amber's teen
nemesis, and Kimberlin Brown (Sheila), who reprised her role as
Erica's psychotic mom Sheila in May. Rick Hearst (ex-Whip) and Matt
Borlenghi (ex-Ziggy) have already exited the show, and Hunter Tylo
(Taylor), recently reported on her website that she will also depart.
Possibly taking the show in a different direction, B&Bhas added soap
vet Michael Dietz (ex-Joe, PC; ex-Alan-Michael, GL) in the newly
created role of Mark, a doctor. A show rep reminds TV Guide Online
that it is not their policy to comment on contract status.

B&B

B&B's Supervising Producer's Fall Preview
Women all over the tube are doing amazing things lately. Who ever
dreamed that Rachel on Friends -– the ultimate Ralph Lauren princess -
– would have a baby out of wedlock, or that will-o-the-wisp Willow on
Buffy the Vampire Slayer would turn into a vengeance-seeking witch?
(Even Carmela Soprano is getting more brazen with slobby mob hubby
Tony.) But nowhere on TV, it seems to us, are female characters
undergoing bigger emotional upheavals -– and more surprising
transformations –- than on The Bold and the Beautiful. Good Lord,
Brooke and Stephanie are bonding; Taylor is championing a one-woman
charity named Amber; and with Sheila running loose again, can mass
(or Massimo!) destruction be far behind? SoapCity sat down with B&B's
Supervising Producer Rhonda Friedman to find out?
Brooke desperately wants to be the best mother she can be to her new
daughter, but will she succumb to temptation?
Brooke's priority is absolutely repairing her relationship with
Bridget, and I think this situation that has occurred over the last
few months has really matured her. I think she has grown as a person,
but Brooke is still Brooke. Brooke is a very sexual woman, a very
attractive woman and men are always attracted to Brooke. So I would
say, it's only a matter of time before Brooke will succumb. I don't
know how long she'll be able to deny her urges.
I think what Bridget expects from her mother is a little decorum. I
think what she doesn't want is for her mother to end up on the front
page of a tabloid again. If Brooke would just show a little bit of
discretion in her life and not do anything sensational, I think
Bridget would be accepting. It's just the sensationalism? Brooke has
always followed her heart. That's one thing about Brooke, I think
that's why the audience has always loved Brooke and forgiven her,
because when you're driven by love?
Ever since she first appeared on the Forresters' radar screen, Amber
has been in and out of trouble. What's ahead for her now?
The worst is yet to come. The worst is definitely yet to come for
Amber.
Rick loves Amber and he wants nothing more than to find out that this
has been a huge mistake. He wants to give her the benefit of the
doubt, but he also doesn't want to be a fool. All the evidence points
to Amber being the one who fell off the wagon, who slept with this
man. Amber has always gotten into hot water and it's usually been of
her own doing, but this is the first time that it's not of her own
doing. She knows she's being set up, but she has no idea [about] the
mind that is actually pulling the strings, that it's the master
manipulator, Sheila.
Speaking of Sheila, do she and Massimo have a future?
I think things are going to get a little bit closer for Sheila and
Massimo. I don't know if the relationship is really going to? I don't
necessarily see them walking down the aisle, but I think that they're
going to grow a little closer.
What about Ridge and Taylor?
Right now their obstacle is Amber and [and the issue is] that Taylor
is so supportive. As things get so much worse for Amber, Taylor is
going to continue to support Amber and everybody is going to turn
their backs on Amber, including Ridge. So I think her support of
Amber is going to drive a wedge between them.
Will they be torn apart?
I can't imagine them breaking up. They're kind of our super couple.
Stephanie has done a real turnaround with Brooke. Where do you see
her place in the future?
Now that Stephanie has moved [away] from Massimo, [she] is going to
be living on the Forrester guest house premises in another guest
house, so she can be close to Brooke and the baby. Eric and Stephanie
are going to be in very close proximity and the truth of the matter
is, I think Stephanie has always loved Eric. I think that they will
probably become closer. It's a matter of time.
Kristen and Tony?
Kristen is going to continue to function as a designer at Forrester.
I don't think we're going to be featuring them heavily anytime soon.
Erica happens upon the truth. How will the information affect her
future?
Erica is in a very difficult dilemma here. It's always been Sheila
and Erica. Erica's always depended upon her mother her whole life.
It's just been the two of them. All of a sudden, Erica finds out that
her entire life's a lie – her name, who her mother is, what she's
done. Erica was led to believe that her father walked out on them,
had no interest in her. Then she finds out her father loved her,
searched for her. So obviously she has an enormous amount of
resentment toward her mother, but yet she loves her mother. She's the
only one she's ever been able to depend upon. So I think what we're
going to see from Erica is a loss of innocence.
Will she start searching for her father?
I don't think so. Who's to say what will ultimately happen? But [I
don't think she'll search for him] in the near future. She loves Rick
and she really feels that she is the best thing for Rick. Again,
Erica doesn't know that her mother was responsible? She will find
out, but even so, it's not as if Amber was an innocent before Sheila
started pulling the strings. Amber lied to Rick how many times?
Sheila had nothing to do with Amber lying to Rick about the baby or
her drug addiction or countless other things. So she justifies it.
And of course she has her mother convincing her. She falls prey to
her mother. She thinks it's all for the right reason.

Sneak Peek
Monday, September 23, 2002, Episode #3887
  Sheila gets Erica a new outfit and hair to help seduce Rick, warning
that Erica must seduce Rick by showing him her intelligence and
talent -- which has Erica looking for her tape recorder with an idea!
  At Forrester, Kristen, Thorne, and Rick listen to tapes trying to
find someone to sing the jingle for the Ambrosia line, and at
Thorne's suggestion, they go to Kristen's office to hear a tape.
  Erica slips her tape into Kristen's tape player, and the 3
Forresters are impressed at the singer -- and even more impressed
when Erica tells them it's her!
  Rick hires Erica to be the new VOICE of Ambrosia and offers to
celebrate -- and when Erica calls home with the news, Sheila is
pleased, since tonight could be THE night!

  Stephanie visit Bridget's apartment and learns that Bridget has been
accepted into an accelerated pre-med program -- but when she learns
Bridget hasn't told her parents about it, Bridget thinks it's not a
good idea given her current status with Brooke.
  C.J. arrives with a bouquet of roses and a black doctor's bag before
he takes Bridget to her orientation that night.
  Stephanie thinks it's too bad Eric and Brooke can't be there, but
Bridget says she'd LOVE to have them there, but it's NEVER been that
way for her.
  Stephanie comments how even at Bridget's age, she still deeps down
wants her parents back together -- what does she mean?

Newsbrief
by Phyllis Brooks

#7472 Director Noel Maxam Air date 9/23/02

NO FORGIVE & FORGET!: "Dr. Lynne Erickson - please report to OR 3 -
Code Blue" Brittany is with Raul at Memorial - I'm sorry my parents
were hassling you - they are so clueless. Raul - they want you to go
to college - so do I - you don't need to stay here because of me.
Britt protests - I love you, Raul - I can help you get through this.
Raul - you don't know how long I've waited to hear you say that - I
had to be in this bed before you would. Britt - I didn't realize it
until I almost lost you - are you still holding a grudge? Raul - it's
a matter of losing your trust - I'd never in this world do anything
to hurt you - I hope you understand that we both almost lost our
lives - but I'm the one that is looking at a long stretch in therapy -
  I can forgive you but I can't forget you put me here. Britt - people
who say that love is forever are such liars - when things get a
little rough it's `adios, Brittany' - she rushes out into waiting
room - plops down in chair in tears.

WINTERS TALE: Knock Knock - who's there? - Serena. Neil - come in -
I'm glad you're here - I felt bad about how you left the last time
you were here. Serena - me too - are you leaving? Neil - yeah - the
bed is lumpy and the folks here are nosy. Serena - and nothing but
soda in the mini bar - huh! - Neil, I want you to know I'm proud of
you. Neil - I'm proud of myself - but I couldn't have done this
without you and lots of other folks who love & care about me helping -
  at least there's one less drunk on streets of Genoa City. Serena -
make that two - I thought if you could do it - I could too - I
haven't always worked in a bar you know. Neil - I figured as much -
anytime you want to talk - I'm here to listen - but I have straighten
things out with my daughter first. Serena - just don't put too much
stress on yourself. Neil - sounds like you've been talking to Olivia.
Serena - no, but I've known people who left and then slipped back.
Neil - that's not going to happen to me - I need to get close to my
daughter again - we need to be able to talk & laugh like we used to.
Serena - I see how you are with Nate - you're a loving caring man -
but with teenagers it's different. Neil - I remember too - maybe I
should try listening more with Lily. Serena - isn't there more -
don't you want to try again with your ex? Neil - I don't think about
Dru much - for now my first priority is to make amends with my
daughter - and I'll die trying.
**At O's apartment - Wes complements Dru on great turkey loaf for
dinner. Dru - you'll have to say that to my sister - I'd rather eat
out. Wes - Lily, you haven't eaten much. Lily - I'm not very hungry -
I've been thinking about going home. Wes - Paris is lovely in the
Fall too. Lily - when are we going back? Dru - Lily, you have such a
hard head - excuse me. Lily - what's wrong with my mom? Wes - for one
thing she's the adult - she calls the shots. Lily - it isn't fair.
Wes - you'll grow up soon enough - in the meantime - your mom has
issues here that need to be resolved - and so do you. Lily - you mean
with my so called dad? Wes - yes - if you'd be willing to give it a
try - it would make it easier for all of us. Lily - I can do that.
Dru (who has been listening pops out) dessert anyone? Wes - I'm full.
Lily - me too. Wes - I should check into a hotel. Dru - Lily, you do
the dishes while I get Wes settled in down at Neil's - we'll find you
a hotel tomorrow. Lily ~hugs~ Wes - I'm so glad you came.
Downstairs - Dru assures Wes staying at Neil's for tonight will be
fine - he won't be back until tomorrow - thank you for talking to
Lily - she listens to you. Wes - I'm here to support you - and I've
made arrangements to stick around for a while - this is a vacation -
we'll have time for each other - you know how much I care about you
~kiss~ Dru - you've said that before. Wes - I mean every word! Dru -
I'd better get back to check on Lily - good night. Wes - sweet
dreams. Dru finds Lily on sofa with dishes done - did you tell daddy
about Wes? Dru - why should I - it shouldn't matter to him.
** Neil puts key in 321 - opens door - sees Wes - who the hell are
you and what are you doing in my apartment?

PRIME SUSPECT?: At Abbott's - Det Weber doesn't want Phyllis and Jack
to leave town - they want to know why. Phyllis - am I a suspect?
Weber - you're under suspicion. Jack - what proof do you have that my
wife started this fire? Weber - the fire was started deliberately -
I'm not at liberty to talk about evidence now - it will all come out
in time. Jack - your timing is lousy - we are just leaving the
country for a few days - my wife's answers will be the same when we
get back - she didn't do this. Phyllis - that's not it - you don't
think we'll come back if we leave - right? are you going to arrest
me? Weber - no, we're conducting our investigation according to
protocol - I hope you'll cooperate with us and stay here for now.
Jack - do we have any choice? Icy Weber - I'll be in touch.
Frantic Phyllis - I'm his prime suspect! Jack - calm down, Phyllis -
we know you didn't do this - we'll get it straightened out - let me
call John Silva. Of course, Silva is still in court - tell him to
call Jack Abbott ASAP - it's urgent. Phyllis - you believe me - don't
you, Jack - no matter how much I hate Diane - I could never do
anything like this! - I wonder what kind of garbage Diane has been
telling Weber - she's got him believing I'm the match striker. Jack -
will you be OK here - I've got to talk to someone - I'm going to
straighten this out right now - I'll be back.
**At Heartbreak Hotel - Izzy racks Diane for not letting her `only'
friend know she was almost toast - you could have called. Diane - I
was a `little' involved - I've lost almost everything - someone wants
me and my son dead - I don't know where I'm going to live - the one
good thing is I had a wonderful shopping trip. Izzy - I'm sorry - I
would have gone shopping with you - I didn't know about the fire
until Det Weber told me when he was questioning me - I got the Abbott
housekeeper to tell me you were here. Diane - if he knew - why didn't
he tell me? Izzy - he's conducting an investigation - I told him I
saw Phyllis Abbott at the house - she was parking her car as I was
leaving - it was about 10 minutes before the fire started - it
confirmed what Phyllis told him. Diane is stunned - OHMIGOD - I've
been thinking Phyllis did this - it was a diabolical dastardly act -
what's even more scary - she may try to get rid of Kyle and me again.
Izzy - let's hope Weber does his job well.
Later Jack blows in - tell me what you've been telling Det Weber
about my wife. Diane - not until you tell me what your wife has been
telling you!
**At B&W Law - Mikey tells Bug he has been thinking about her. Bug -
good thoughts I hope. Mikey - always - I'd like to take you out to
dinner - they opened a new place on Union Street - they call it
the `Barbie' Bug smiles - sounds Australian to me - I'd be delighted -
  BTW - Diane was here - she had some questions about Phyllis for me.
Mikey - you didn't have to talk to her - in the middle of that blood
feud is no place to be - I know. Bug - I told Ms Jenkins I didn't
think Phyllis had it in her to start a fire that would endanger Diane
and Kyle - I hope I'm right.
Phyllis blows in - I need to talk to you, Michael - alone! Bug - I
was just leaving - call me about dinner. Mikey - you can count on
that. Phyllis - I can't deal with that now too - I've had such a bad
day - do you know that Det Weber thinks I started the fire after all
of that trash Diane has been telling him? Mikey - Phyllis, calm down!
Phyllis - you sound like my husband. Mikey - hold it - where is your
purse? . . he pulls out a dollar bill . . now we're legal. Phyllis -
you think this needs to be confidential? Mikey - yes, especially if
you have something you want to tell me about the fire!
**At police headquarters - Weber fills in Lacerra about Mrs Williams
confirming Phyllis Abbott was at Abbott house 10 minutes before fire
started - do you have a search warrant on her car yet? Lacerra - it
just came - you expect to finds something besides lipstick on that
seat . . let's go.

ATWT Writer Is Headed to GL

With its ratings approaching record low territory, Guiding Light has
tapped Emmy winning scribe Carolyn Culliton to become its new head
writer.

Culliton, who most recently served as co-head writer of sister-soap
As The World Turns, joins Millee Taggart as co-head writer.
Lloyd "Lucky" Gold, who joined Guiding Light in May 2001 as head
writer, has been made an associate writer for the show.

Soap Vet Joining B&B As New Character

They say that the third time is the charm. For actor Michael Dietz
(ex Joe Scanlon, Port Charles; ex Alan-Michael Spaulding, Guiding
Light), who joins the cast of The Bold and the Beautiful in October,
this will mark the third time that he's played a doctor on a soap
opera.

Don't be quick to assume that this is a cast of typecasting.
According to insiders, Dietz owes his new role on B&B to his new
agent.

Emmy Winner Joining PC Cast

Soap Opera Central has confirmed that Ian Buchanan (ex James Warwick,
The Bold and the Beautiful; ex Duke Lavery, General Hospital) has
joined the cast of Port Charles for the show's ninth book, which is
currently being filmed.

Buchanan has been the subject of many casting rumors in recent
months. In addition to the current PC chatter, Buchanan has been
linked to All My Children and as well as B&B and GH.

MINDY'S BACK
Things are certain to heat up in Springfield now that two of
Phillip's former wives, India and Mindy, are coming back to Guiding
Light. Krista Tesreau, who is reprising her role as Mindy, confirms
to TV Guide Online these returns will be explosive. "Oh yeah, it's
going to be a big meeting," Tesreau hints. Since her most recent
return in June, the buzz has been that Tesreau's stay could be a long
one. "I begin work on Sept. 23, but they haven't given me a date when
I'm done," she says as she ponders an extended run. "Who knows?
There's always a chance, especially after being on this summer, and I
got a good response."
Tesreau has been busy with another project, hosting a magazine show
called Love and Romance, which is currently being shopped to national
syndicators. The program focuses on anything and everything having to
do with romance. "From romantic restaurants to decorating your
bathroom romantically," Tesreau explains. A romantic person at heart,
she says it doesn't take much to create a heartwarming
setting. "Sitting on a lake, in a boat, with good friends and
enjoying a spectacular view and enjoying friends and family, that to
me is romantic," she shares. "And when I'm with someone, it's
snuggling up in bed with a movie and a bowl of popcorn."

Can't get enough of Gavin Houston (Remy) on Guiding Light? The up-and-
coming actor will be racking up the Google hits when he releases his
newest film project, Spy, on the Internet. "It's the first movie
where the process of its production can be followed on the Web,"
Houston reveals. Houston plays Mike Chase, who spends most of his
time chasing down would-be suspects as a private detective. "I have a
partner, and we're hired to spy on a girl, but my partner spies on
her so much, he falls in love with her," Houston explains of the
movie's main plot twist. Things get complicated when they uncover
information that puts their young assignment in danger. "Then we have
to warn her without scaring her." In this two-boy operation,
Houston's in the driver's seat, literally. "[My character] know the
streets, so I'm always in the van and telling my partner to go out.
I'm the brains behind the operation." Like any good action story,
Houston promises his latest flick will serve up a full plate, as he
likens his onscreen partnership to a famous primetime duo. "We've got
chase scenes and we're running around, kind of like Miami Vice," he
says with a chuckle.

DIETZ TO B&B
As TV Guide Online hinted weeks ago, Michael Dietz is indeed
returning to the daytime arena. The actor has been cast as Mark on
The Bold and the Beautiful. For Dietz, making the move back to the
soaps stems from timing — and good friends. "There couldn't be a
better job for me right now," exclaims the vet, who recently married
his sweetheart Paige Rowland (ex-Christine, AMC; ex-Linda/Debra,
Days). The couple is expecting their first child on Oct. 11. Dietz
landed his dream gig after signing with übermanager Michael Bruno, a
suggestion that came from his good pal Kin Shriner (Scott, GH). "He
suggested I give Michael a call... I signed with him, and three weeks
later I was on The Bold and the Beautiful!"
Dietz, who played Alan-Michael Spaulding on Guiding Light and Dr. Joe
Scanlon on Port Charles, will once again portray a man in the medical
field. "My best friend back east is finishing his residency this
year, so I'm using him again and the Internet to do my research."
Dietz makes his B&B debut on Oct. 2.
A BOLD LOSS
The word on the street is that Hunter Tylo, who's played
compassionate Dr. Taylor Hayes Forrester on The Bold and the
Beautiful since 1990, has been released from the show. On a fan
message board, a statement attributed to Tylo reveals that her
character had become "too good" to explore darker paths and would be
phased out. Tylo experienced a complicated negotiation process with
B&B last fall, culminating in an extended exit before returning to
the show in November. An official rep for B&B states that the show
does not comment on casting.
ATWT GOES BACK TO SCHOOL
As the World Turns's new casting director Mary Clay Boland says
she'll only have two fears when she kicks off the show's "Catch Us If
You Can" bus tour at Webster University in St. Louis, Mo., on Sept.
16: "That no one comes, and that too many people come," she says with
a chuckle. But Boland, who brought Lamman Rucker (Marshall) and Mark
C. Collier (Mike) to ATWT's canvas, doesn't mind having too many
people at the party. She'll be casting up to 20 extras to appear on
the show as it goes on location to 10 universities across the nation,
and four to five speaking roles per campus. "Some of these principals
are pretty meaty," she reveals. "They'll have a couple of scenes to
shoot."
The brainchild of executive producer Chris Goutman, the college tour
has the backing of Agim Kaba (Aaron), who will be one-third of the
road trotting trio. "[Goutman] is brilliant," Kaba declares. "He
really wants this story to take off." While the tour is designed to
entice a college-age audience, Boland emphasizes, "viewers who know
and love us have an opportunity to come down and participate in the
show as well."
Auditions aren't just open to students. "We really want to open it up
to the town the schools are in," Boland says encouragingly. For
interested parties who hope to snag a role, take note: leave American
Idol rejectee Tamika tactics at home. "Please don't use violence
against the casting director," Boland jokes. "Just bring a picture of
yourself... come looking your best and be charming and friendly; be
yourself." Boland's optimistic that one of the open calls may uncover
the next hottie or heroine to hit Oakdale. "I'm keeping everyone's
pictures and making notes. I may be interested in bringing them to
New York to audition," she concludes.

GL CELEBRATES 14,000
SPOTTED! Jerry verDorn (Ross), making the first cut in a huge cake on
the set of Guiding Light on Aug. 29. "Now that we've got the writers
in place, and the cast, things are looking up," he said gleefully.
The frosty confection, complete with the GL logo, honored the show's
14,000th episode in production. It's the only TV show with bragging
rights to that accomplishment. "We have so much to be proud of this
season," toasted Procter & Gamble (GL's parent company) executive in
charge of production Mickey Dwyer-Dobbin, as she reflected on the
show's 65th anniversary and its 50 years on television. "[We've had]
a great summer of celebrations, and here we have the icing on the
cake."
Gavin Houston (Remy) was preparing to ship a boatload of goodies to
his onscreen sibling, Yvonna Kopacz (Mel), who just gave birth to her
first child. "It's just some stuff from Toys 'R' Us that I'm going to
send to her," he revealed. Together for a photo op., Grant Aleksander
and Crystal Chappell jokingly theorized that Phillip's draw to Olivia
may be her ample bosom. "[See] stage right and stage left," he kidded
before getting serious about their characters' growing
attraction. "He's looking for someone who is not necessarily a victim
he has to take care of, but a partner." Chappell agreed, noting how
Phillip's Spaulding lineage hasn't affected his heart. "Alan
[Phillip's father] controls a situation to the point where he pushes
people who care for him away. Phillip is more nurturing."
ATWT's Martha Byrne (Lily/Rose) gave birth to son number two, Maxwell
Vincent McMahon, on Sept. 3. Baby Maxwell weighed in at 8 lbs. and 1
oz. and measured 21 inches long... Look for Annie Parisse to reprise
her role as ATWT's crazed Julia this fall...

CASTING CALL

The Young and the Restless: Jon Anderson of the group Yes, performs

ODDS AND ENDS
In honor of the first anniversary of 9/11, daytime programming will
be pre-empted on all three networks. The Bold and the Beautiful and
The Young and the Restless will suspend taping on 9/11 as well.

While Guiding Light celebrated the milestone of their 14,000th
episode, one onscreen couple commiserated their characters' recent
breakup. "I think it's very devastating," shares Nancy St. Alban,
over her alter-ego Michelle's split with husband and mob boss, Danny
Santos. "They've already had ups and downs, and they worked out. To
completely turn around and be as final as this, it's almost
incomprehensible for Michelle." It's also been rough for St.
Alban. "Paul and I work so well together, it was a tough place for us
to go in those scenes," she says. "It's something you don't want to
experience in your own life." The characters may be spending less
time together onscreen, but that won't affect St. Alban's connection
with Stewart when the cameras stop rolling. "We still hang out a lot,
and we've always been good friends." What advice would St. Alban give
to her alter-ego to get over this most recent heartbreak? "A good
girlfriend would want her to work it out with her husband," she
suggests, but if that fails, St. Alban is rooting for Michelle to
find love with Bill Lewis. "They've know each other their whole
lives, and I think it would be an interesting pairing, because they
have been friends," she surmises, "or they need to bring another guy
to Springfield." Alan-Michael Spaulding, maybe it's time to come
home — and bring friends!
MY POV: "A moment like this..." That American Idol ballad got me
thinking of the many moments, brief but powerful, we've witnessed on
The Young and the Restless over the past few weeks. For Neil, it was
that painful point filled with tears when he admitted his alcoholism,
taking the first step to get his life back. That significant scene
when Ashley sat in front of the mirror after her chemo, removed the
scarf from her hairless head and revealed to herself how she was
fighting her breast cancer with any means necessary. And the
unbearable instant as Brittany sat next to a paralyzed Raul in the
hospital and realized that her carelessness had hurt the person she
loved the most. These may not be the best moments, but they're the
ones that make us realize that in a split second, our lives can
change forever. — DD

B&B Reflects on September 11
The anniversary of September 11 is approaching and we asked some of
the B&B cast members to share their thoughts and feelings about this
tragic day in history. Justin Torkildsen (Rick) was out with friends
the night before and ended up crashing out on the sofa, when he was
woken up early with the terrible news. "It was a really weird day, it
was interesting, we walked to the 7-11 and the streets were just
empty. It was strange it was really eerie. We just sat and said a
prayer for everybody." Courtnee Draper (Erica) was woken by her
mother who broke the terrible news to her. "It makes you realize how
short life really is. I think that they should make a holiday out of
it [September 11] actually, they have Veteran's Day and Memorial Day
and I really think that September 11 is something should be
remembered, it was the most unexpected attack that's ever happened in
United States."
Kimberlin Brown (Sheila) sadly told us that she felt a great sense of
loss for all of those people and for herself, because she knew that
the country would never be the same again. Kimberlin found it
difficult to explain the tragedy to her daughter. "My daughter
couldn't understand what kind of people would such a terrible thing
to other people, people who don't even know her, people who don't
even know those people in the building. To try and explain that there
are some people who do terrible for no reason and without being
concerned about the consequence, is really difficult, because
children deal in tangibles." Kimberlin expressed strong feelings
about the people who committed the terrible act. "You feel violated,
even though it might not be a direct relative of yours, it's a direct
attack on our country and what we believe in, yet we allow people to
come in to our country every single day, to start a new life, even
though they bring all of their old ways and old beliefs with them and
things like this happen, it's sad."
Jennifer Finnigan (Bridget) feels that the media is not being
responsible about its coverage of 9/11. "What matters is how people
have survived and how they have recovered, that's what matters. They
keep showing the planes going through the buildings -- it's violent
and it's sensationalist -- rather than just really covering and
referring to what matters, which is the people who lost their lives
and the people who loved them. That's the stuff that really touches
people, to see the strength and courage of these people, not to see
the violent acts replayed a million times." Mick Cain (C.J.) believes
that the tragedy should teach us about what is really important in
life. "I think that people have moved on too quickly. What we really
need to take away from 9/11 is an appreciation for living in a free
country and that there are more important things in life than making
money. We've become such a capitalistic and materialistic society and
that should show you that in a minute you can be gone. You really
need to take time to appreciate what you have, to spend time with the
people that you love and slow down a little bit."
Joe Mascolo (Massimo) believes that 9/11 was a tremendous wake-up
call for the U.S. He doesn't like the way in which the media has
handled the attack. "I'm just a little afraid that the media is
making it less than what it really is. They all harp on it every
minute of the day, but it's overdone and there's a lack of dignity
about some of it. That's a touchstone for our history, sometimes
you're afraid that they are going to make it less than it should be --
  that's my only fear. The images [of the planes crashing into the
Twin Towers] are incredible, but you can't be force-fed that
everyday. I think that what happens is -- it's like any horror in
life -- if you show it, you lessen it. When you overdo that sort of
thing, you'll get people who get turned off and then don't want to
see it anymore. It's devastating unto itself."

From soapdish newsletter:

CBS soaps will be preempted on Monday, September 2 and Friday,

production will be dark on Wednesday, September 11 and all CBS soaps
will be preempted on air that day in remembrance of those lost last
year.

An article posted on a popular television web site last week indicated
that Sean Kanan (Deacon Sharp) had been fired from the show. Within a
matter or hours, the web site retracted its original story. According
to Kanan's rep, the actor is still with the show and any reports to
the contrary are untrue. Kanan has been working on projects outside of
The Bold and the Beautiful, but the actor will remain with the show.
In fact, in July, Kanan signed a contract extension - reportedly for
two years - with the show.  I addressed the other web rumors which
had Rick Hearst (Whipple Jones) and Matt Borlenghi (Ziggy) being
served with walking papers last week. To repeat, a show spokesperson
confirms that both Hearst and Borlenghi have been removed from
contract status, but will remain on in a recurring capacity.
  However, a setside source hints that Hearst will only be around for
an additional handful of episodes. Hearst was signed to The Bold and
the Beautiful after a critically acclaimed run on sister soap The
Young and the Restless as the diabolical Carter Mills. There are
rumblings that the actor could make a return to Guiding Light, where
he played Alan-Michael Spaulding from 1990 to 1996. A spokesperson for
Guiding Light declined to comment on the rumors. Check back with us as
we will bring you any verified news as soon as we get it.

ROWELL'S RETURN TO THE SET
Victoria Rowell (Drucilla) knows that it's good to go home. Upon her
return to The Young and Restless studio on July 15, Rowell received
flowers and warm vibes. "The technical crew applauded when I came
back on the set," she shares. "I've always had a great relationship
with the crew."
Well rested from her year-long sabbatical from acting, Rowell is back
in her old Y&R dressing room — 41J — and her nametag is going to be
there for quite some time. Rowell has signed a three-year contract
with the show. The actress credits her return with a reorganization
of priorities. "First are my children, my life and then my work," she
says candidly. In accordance with her new outlook, Rowell plans to
focus her energy on one project at a time. "You can quote me on
this," she says with a decisive tone, "I will no longer be leaving
skid marks in the CBS parking lot to get a second gig."
Drucilla makes her way back on the canvas just as Neil's world is
crumbling at an alarming pace. "She's returning from Paris to seek
the support of Neil in parenting Lily, only to find he is a raging
alcoholic," Rowell previews. Shemar Moore (ex-Malcolm) may be off the
Y&R canvas, but Rowell is pleased that Y&R has brought Todd Bridges
(Juice) and Gretchen Palmer (Serena) to the screen. "It's wonderful
that there is still such a strong African-American presence on Y&R,"
she praises.
Look for Rowell on air beginning Aug. 15.
IN OTHER Y&R NEWS...
Drucilla isn't returning to Genoa City without a few growing pains.
Christel Khalil assumes the role of Lily, Dru's now teenaged
daughter. Khalil, who appeared in the feature film Matilda, debuts on
Aug. 15. Filmmaker Ben Watkins (ex-Jamal, OLTL) also joins the cast
as Wesley, a psychologist who shares a past with Dru and her
daughter. Watkins recently took home top honors in the 2002 HBO Short
Film Award for his feature, Quest to Ref. Look for Watkins to
premiere on Aug. 23.
ORDER IN THE COURT
To find the perfect judge to preside over Barbara's day in court, As
the World Turns went to the people — The People's Court, that is.
Beginning July 22, Judge Marilyn Milian of The People's Court makes
her soap debut as Judge Danielle Tepperman. "They said that I would
be a natural and very convincing as judge," Milian says with a
chuckle. People's Court Officer Douglas MacIntosh also appears on
ATWT.
On The People's Court the cases are real and unscripted, a factor
Milian had to toss aside for the soap. "It is so much easier to do
things the way I do it than to do things off a script," she
declares. "Every single player on the daytime set has to remember
their lines. If he or she doesn't, you have to take it from the top
again. I have a newfound respect for the people who do this sort of
thing."
Known for the zingy comments she slings on The People's Court, Milian
kept uncharacteristically quiet during her ATWT stint. "The writers
know what's been happening on the show over the last 47 years, so
everything has a purpose; you don't just throw things in," she
explains. Well, maybe on one occasion. "There was one ruling that was
so blatantly wrong ... I insisted on changing it," Milian
declares. "They said, 'Sustained,' and I said, no it's quite
overruled, can you please let me change this one."
Milian may have the last word when she presides on The People's
Court, but the judge was relying on the final word of daytime's
finest during her ATWT guest stint. "Colleen Zenk Pinter (Barbara) is
unbelievable. She took me under her wing because she could tell I had
no idea what was going on," Milian exclaims. "There are so many
rehearsals [on the daytime set], I was never sure when they were
taping, and I would look at Barbara and she would say, 'Okay, this is
the real thing.'" But Milian wouldn't mind a second go as a soap
opera siren. "I wouldn't be able to resist temptation," she
reveals. "I want to have a love interest with one of the lawyers."

Kim Brockington (Felicia, GL) has a kick-ass way of staying in shape —
  by kicking ass. Brockington takes weekly kickboxing classes that
keep her thighs, glutes and buns in tiptop condition. "The way it
makes your body feel is incredible," she gushes. Brockington
reconnected with her love of martial arts — she had taken a few
lessons as a kid — while starring as Darlene in the stage production
of Thunder Knocking on the Door back in 1997. "Darlene has a black
belt, and I had to look like I had one in six weeks." Brockington
trained with fight coordinator David Leon to perfect her jabs and
uppercuts. "I learned it all — roundhouse and front kicks — and it
made me feel so strong," she says. Brockington decided to keep up the
good work after the production finished its run. "In class I sweat
like I've never sweat before." For martial arts enthusiasts,
Brockington reveals what a regular diet can do even when you have to
put your practice on hold. "You can go a month without it, and the
tone [you've built] remains," she shares. "When you go back, your
body remembers."
MY POV: Heartbreaking. That's the word that comes to mind to describe
Kim Zimmer's performance as Reva struggled with Richard's death this
week on Guiding Light. I agree with Zimmer — her previous year on the
show had been filled with storylines that didn't tap into the award-
winning actress's talent. But now Zimmer has a storyline that rises
to her level. Performing solo, Zimmer stirred our deepest moral
beings as she struggled with the unfairness of Richard's debilitating
accident and her decision to pull the plug. Now the real story
begins, as Reva grapples with the secret that she's the one who ended
the life of her sister's husband. It's a plot destined to be filled
with anger, pity, rage and redemption — all the emotions Zimmer plays
best. This seasoned performer has been waiting for a storyline like
this to shine, and it's nice to see her back in the spotlight where
she belongs.

WEEK OF JULY 22
Danny sends his men after Edmund.
Phillip takes Zach out of the country.
Ed asks Lillian to keep a deadly secret.
Beth realizes her diary was stolen, and suspects Olivia.
Reva struggles through Richard's eulogy.
Joan Collins is Coming to Springfield!
Although the press was touting it as a done deal hours earlier, it
wasn't until the afternoon of July 17 that Guiding Light and Joan
Collins were able to come to an agreement finalizing her six month
guest appearance on their show in the role of Alexandra Spaulding
(previously played by Marj Dusay and Beverlee McKinsey). The veteran
actress, best known for her work in the prime-time soaps Dynasty and
Pacific Palisades, as well as such films as Empire of the Ants, will
be playing Alan Spaulding's sister, Phillip Spaulding's aunt. Of
Alex's previous GL love interests (Roger, Fletch), only one, Ross
Marler, remains on the canvas. In fact, Alex and Ross once joined
forces to destroy Alan. Will history repeat itself? Stay tuned! Joan
begins taping her role on Aug. 26, and will first air in late
September.
A New Look for Lizzie!
Just like her pal, Tammy, Lizzie Spaulding will experience a growth
spurt this summer when preteen actress Mackenzie Mauzy is replaced by
slightly older teen Allison Hirschlag. Allison, whose past credits
include working as a student director at the Dwight-Englewood
Theatre, has soap opera acting in her blood. Her mother is two time
Daytime Emmy Award winner Julia Barr, who began playing Brooke on All
My Children in 1976. Julia's real life pregnancy with Allison was
written into the show when Brooke was pregnant with her daughter,
Laura. So you could say Allison was acting on daytime before she was
even born!
Beth Ehlers Out!
GL Vet Beth Ehlers (Harley) broke her wrist playing softball at co-
star Laura Wright's (Cassie) home. Actress Hayley Sparks, who
previously subbed for Beth during both of her maternity leaves, will
be playing Harley for this week's taping. Her first airdate is July
25.
There's a New Teen in Town!
There's a blonde vixen coming to Springfield and it's not, as has
been rumored, Harley's prodigal daughter, Susan. Instead, the comely
teenager poised to bewitch the GL teen scene is a newly SORASED (Soap
Opera Rapid Aging Syndrome) Tammy Layne Winslow, the daughter of
Cassie and her first husband, Rob Layne. Tammy will be played by
Stephanie Gatschet, who previously appeared as a runaway on Another
World and As the World Turns. Her other television credits include
Law & Order. Watch for the all grown up Tammy to debut on Friday,
July 5.
Gus Goes East of Eden!
Is there a serpent in the Garden of Eden Gus and Harley have created
for themselves? There just might be! Her name is Eden, played by
daytime newcomer Teresa Hill, and she is a mystery woman from Gus's
past -- a past that includes a juvenile criminal record Gus isn't
really eager for the world to see. Will she cause trouble for Harley
and the new man in her life? Bet on it! Look for Eden to first pop up
in a flashback in late July, then hit town with a vengeance come
August!
Sierra Surprise
Mary Beth Evans will reprise her role as Lucy's mother/Craig's ex-
wife/Lucinda's daughter, Sierra Esteban, in August. The California
based actress will begin taping her scenes on July 18 and is
scheduled to work through the end of the month. To read an interview
with Mary Beth, click here. To get the scoop on Sierra, click here.
Barbara to be Tried by The People's Court!
Judge Marilyn Milian and Court Officer Douglas MacIntosh of The
People's Court are heading to Oakdale to officiate at Barbara's trial
for the kidnapping of Carly, Emily and Rose. No stranger to
television, Judge Milian has been dispensing cinematic justice for
over a year. Quips Colleen Zenk Pinter (Barbara), "She bangs better
than anyone!"
Coming up the Week of July 22
Abigail awkwardly agrees to a date with Chris.
Bonnie defends Marshall to Lisa and Isaac.
Margo gets an answer to her health questions.
Simon Two taunts Simon One about Katie.
The Graduate
While Erica Lovejoy had the thrill of trying on a Forrester gown on
The Bold and the Beautiful, Courtnee Draper recently wore a gown of a
different kind. She just graduated from high school and she is ready
to take on the world -- or at least Hollywood! Courtnee's school life
was unlike that of most other high school kids in America. She spent
her senior year at Laurel High School, a continuation school with a
more flexible and independent program designed for kids who for
various reasons need a flexible study program. "I wanted to be able
to actually go to school and hang with people my age and it was
easier to do the work that way too. Then I got B&B right after I
started there, so I wasn't there very often. Laurel High School's
programs are designed on a more independent level where you can move
at your own pace. The group of people is very eccentric and
alternative and that's what I like about the school. There weren't
really popular or unpopular people, it was just people coming
together." Despite Laurel High School's unorthodox approach to
studying, they still held the traditional prom night, which Courtnee
attended with her boyfriend Justin. "The theme was 'A Night at the
Oscars' --appropriately. The invitation was fun because it was like a
slate and they had a red carpet and everything was in gold and black.
It was just funny, considering the fact that I had just come back
from the Emmys. I've never been to a prom actually and they had
chocolate fondue there and I love that! I went with a group of my
friends and hung out and danced and had a really good time."
Courtnee will be on B&B for the next two years, so she won't be going
to college for the moment, but she feels that getting an education is
a priority. "I want to make sure I keep learning and keep growing.
I'm going to take core classes like english and math and I also want
to take stuff I am interested in like, massage therapy or psychology.
I'm either thinking about becoming an interior designer or majoring
in psychology or law, so it's one of those three that I'm probably
going to go into." Courtnee is very focused about whatever she
undertakes, whether it is acting or her long term career outside of
acting. While most other kids are partying in Cabo or backpacking
around Europe for the summer, Courtnee is considering her future and
she explained, "Now that I don't have to go to school, I'm lazy. I
want to take the summer off and hang out with my friends and do
whatever, but it's very important to stay in school and I need to do
that." Parents can only dream of having a responsible daughter like
Courtnee!

Newsbrief
by Phyllis Brooks

#7430 Director Mike Denney Air date 7/23/02

FEEL LIKE CRYING MY EYES OUT: Brad comes home with a large container
of Rocky Road (does the show have a commercial hookup with Ben &
Jerry?) he offers Ash a plastic spoon - care to join me? Ash - why
are you doing this? - I know you missed Colleen's recital. Brad -
John obviously told you. Ash - was it a super secret of some kind? I
know why you didn't tell me - you didn't want me to feel guilty - you
forgot CC's recital because you're so concerned about me. Brad points
out he thought CC would be upset - but she wasn't - only spilled
milk - I'm not going to beat myself up over it - I'll make sure I get
to her next recital - now how about some ice cream? Ash rants about
how they can't communicate with each other anymore - goes on to be
very explicit about how she feels having chemo treatments - I feel
ugly - I feel gross - throwing up all the time is repugnant - having
treatments hurts - I say I'm fine because there is nothing you or
anyone can do about it - I feel like crawling in a hole so I can cry
my eyes out - I'm sick, Brad - that's how I feel! Brad ~hugs~ Ash
tenderly.
**At mausoleum - John stops by to talk to Katherine. Jill - she's
sleeping - do you want me to wake her up? John - no, I'll talk to her
tomorrow. Jill - it must be important or you wouldn't be here this
late - is it bad news about Ashley? you've been decent &
compassionate with me lately - I want to return the favor - talk to
me - what's wrong. John lets go - it's the chemo treatments - I
understand Ash has to have them - but she's so pale - has lost
weight - now she's losing her hair - it's got me scared to death . .
breaks down in tears. Jill empathizes - I felt the same way when I
lost my son - the hardest part is realizing you'll live on - and you
do find a way to do it - in this case - Ash will get better - she'll
be more beautiful than ever - she'll be around for a long time. John -
  that's what the doctors tell us - but nothing is ever for sure - I
think of Abby - that baby has no idea about what's happening - when I
see Ash looking at her - I know what's she's thinking because I'm
thinking the same thing - I don't want to lose her, Jill . . breaks
down sobbing. Jill gives John a ~hug~ to comfort him - everything is
going to be OK - it will be OK!

OVER STEPPING?: Mikey is daydreaming about taking Bug to Colonnade
when she comes in to invite him to dinner - I've made reservations at
Gina's - is that OK? Mikey hesitates for a moment - sure - let's
go . . looks a little sad as he turns out the lights. They are
looking at menus. Mikey - it's hard to think about food when you're
thinking about clothes - I saw the way you looked at the dress in
Fenmore's window. Bug - it did look good on the mannequin - but where
would I wear a cocktail dress? Mikey - you never know - it would look
great on you - how about the salmon? Gina comes over - hi, Bug - I
didn't see you come in. Bug smiles - you were too busy flirting with
the nice looking business man. Gina smiles - try the special grilled
salmon - it's great. Mikey - that's what I was just saying. Gina -
oh, Michael - I didn't see you there - Bug, please try our new salad
bar - I want to know what you think - I'll send over a bottle of your
favorite chianti - now excuse me - I have some serious flirting to
do.
Bug - I can see why you hesitated when I suggested Gina's - you're
not her favorite person. Mikey - not everyone can like everyone else -
  it wouldn't be good for business - excuse me - I'm going to try the
salad bar. Jack is there to pick up an order to go - stops to say hi
to Bug - is surprised when Mikey comes over - I'm sorry - I thought
you were alone. Bug - Michael & I are just having dinner - it's been
a long, busy day at work - how's it going for you? Jack - I'm busy
being a father. Bug - it must be hard to have Kyle gone. Jack - Kyle
& Diane are still here - it's a long story - I'll tell you another
time. Mikey - Jack, you should know better. Jack - I don't need to
talk to you about my personal business. Mikey - Jack, you should see
a psychiatrist. Jack - I'll see you again, Bug - take care. Bug gives
Mikey an evil eye. Mikey - I know - remind me to never run for
office. Bug tells Mikey she feels sorry for Phyllis - no newlywed
should have to go through what she has been asked to do - are you
surprised? Mikey - nothing you do surprises me anymore. Cell rings.
Bug - yours or mine? Mikey - yours - I don't have mine. Bug gets an
emergency call from Sharon - agrees to meet her. Mikey - what about
your salmon? Bug - have them pack it up for me - I'll eat it for
lunch. Mikey pours Bug's left over wine in his glass - settles back
to think.

JACK'S RULES: Phyllis is pouring herself some water in Abbott living
room when Diane wanders in on her crutches looking for Jack. Phyllis
reminds Diane she's breaking a rule - you can use Alexander Graham
Bell's gadget to talk to Jack anytime you wish. Diane - you can't be
serious about this. Phyllis - oh but I am - you agreed to this new
arrangement - are you now saying you didn't? Diane - fine - I'll go.
Later - Diane stumbles into a darkened living room - Jack, is that
you? Phyllis turns on the light - back again are you - Jack won't be
too happy about this - twice in one evening. Diane - you're enjoying
this way too much, Phyllis - you're not going to tell him are you?
Phyllis - considering this is the first day - I guess I can cut you
some slack - but remember - these are Jack's rules. Jack comes in at
that moment - Diane, what are you doing here? Diane - I just came
over for a bottle of milk - that can't be that bad. Jack makes it
clear that he expects Diane to stay out the house - think about it as
living across the street - you wouldn't be running over all the time -
  these rules are firm and absolute - if we expect this to work - we
are all going to have to do our best to see that they do. Diane - OK -
  even though I'm going through the kitchen - I'll call Mrs What's-her-
name to bring me some milk. Jack - just a minute, Diane - I brought
home some food - I'd like to have dinner with my son. Diane - we'd
love that. Jack - I mean I want to pick up Kyle so he can have dinner
with my wife and me. Diane - very well - I'll get him ready . .
starts to hobble out. Phyllis - watch the door, Diane - we don't want
you hurt again. Phyllis looks at Jack - thanks for doing that for us.
Jack - I'll put the food in the kitchen - then pick up Kyle. Phyllis -
  fine - I'll wait right here.

NEW SHADE OF GREEN?: Victor lets Sharon know that her reaction to
Victoria's seeing Diego is causing a rift in the family - you know
how important family is to me - why does this bother you so much?
Sharon - Diego is my friend - he doesn't know what he's getting into
with Victoria - she's way out of his league - she'll get what she
wants and then dump him - I don't want to see Diego hurt. Victor is
blunt - is there something going on between you two? Sharon -
absolutely not - why would you ask? Victor - I have the feeling you
haven't been forthcoming with me - have a good day. Needless to say -
Sharon looks worried.
**Over at Brash & Sassy - after Vikki tells Nick she's no longer
interested in what's happening with Mom & Dad - they go around about
Diego - I hear you were dancing by the pool. Vikki declares that what
is happening with Diego is not planned - it's just the natural
consequence of what happens when a couple has fun together. Nick
starts to tell Vikki what his wife said - then pulls back. Vikki -
don't stop now or I'll go ask Sharon - and you know I'll do it. Nick
gives in - Sharon thinks you'll hurt Diego by dumping him when you
move on - is something going on here that I don't know about? Vikki -
you'll have to ask your wife that - make her give you an answer. Nick
wants Vikki to work things out with Sharon - if you don't do it -
I'll put you both in a room and keep you there till you do - I mean
it. Vikki sits down at her desk (aside) - you're jealous, Sharon -
you don't want me touching your precious Diego - it's all up to me
now.
**Bug is looking at her mail. Ding/Dong! It's Sharon - come in - did
Nick find out about Diego? Sharon - no, no - not yet. Bug - but this
does have something to do with Diego - talk to me! Frantic Sharon -
if that guy doesn't leave town - I don't know what will happen - I
just don't know!

Announcer: GET IT ON - coming next week (picture of Sharon) she tried
to hide her feelings! Sharon: Diego is not your type. Vikki: you're
jealous! Sharon: jealous! with a husband like Nick (Diego ~kissing~
Sharon) Vikki - I can see it clearly - it won't be long until Nick
does too! Announcer: Sharon's secret affair. . Vikki - I'm going to
be watching you! Announcer: could destroy everything - then . . .
(Phyllis talking to Michael): I'm pulling the plug on Diane Jenkins.

worth! Announcer: the mother of all divas . . . (picture of Diane)

Last Week in Genoa City:
Miss an episode and want more detailed info than below. Then join
the club listed below. This club is awesome and the person who runs
it puts a lot of work into it. The recap is word for word off the
show.
hotcYR-subscribe@yahoogroups.com

Monday 7/1
Diego and Sharon wonder what is the reason behind Victoria suddenly
acting friendly with him. Diego decides to play along with Victoria's
game in order to keep her from focusing on them. Nick thinks Diego is
definitely interested in Victoria, and wants to know how she feels
about him. Jack and Phyllis continue to disagree about Diane's
intentions on staying at the house. Jack agrees that there's tension
between them, but Phyllis is the cause, not Diane. Phyllis thinks
Jack is a fool if he can't see what Diane is trying to do. Diane
mentions to Jack that she'll be moving to Denver soon, and Graziella
enters to say she's quitting. Later, Diane sees Phyllis backing out
of the driveway and gets behind the car, gives the trunk a big whack
and falls to the ground. Phyllis continues backing out. Jill tries to
fix things with Sean, but her actions have told him that they don't
have a future together. Sean exits, and John comforts Jill. Jill begs
John not to let Mac participate in the summer campaign, insisting it
would be a public relations nightmare. Raul and Brittany discuss
their prom night and how excited they are about college. Ralph
enters, disguised as a cop, and questions Raul about Billy and Mac's
whereabouts. Billy and Mac decide to wait until dark in order to find
another hiding place. Larry confronts Amanda about Ralph. Larry and
Amanda find Kay lying on the motel room floor. Kay blames Amanda for
having done all this. Ralph appears outside the Abbott hideaway with
a switchblade.
Tuesday 7/2
Jack comes to Diane's rescue and grills Phyllis like a criminal.
Phyllis insists that her running over Diane was an accident. As the
paramedics wheel Diane away, Phyllis asks Jack to give her the
benefit of the doubt. Victor returns and is very happy to hear his
children are doing well, but is anxious to see Nikki. Max makes it
clear to Nikki that Victor doesn't deserve her. Victor walks into
Nikki's living room and sees Max holding her. Ralph enters the
hideaway and finds that Billy and Mac had been there. Raul questions
Ralph and offers to warn the Abbotts that Mac and Billy are in
danger, but Ralph tells him not to say anything. Later, Raul learns
from Larry that the cop was actually Ralph in disguise. Kay and
Amanda go to Jabot and alert Jill of what's going on. Jill threatens
Amanda that if Ralph harms Billy, then her life won't be worth
living. Billy and Mac flee to the lake, and Billy decides to turn
himself in for Ralph's murder. Mac assures Billy that she won't ever
leave his side. As they hold each other and express their love, Ralph
whacks Billy unconscious with a rock.
Wednesday 7/3
Victoria and Nick view a tape of Leanna's expose, and insist that it
must be a fake. Victor demands to know why Max was visiting Nikki,
but Nikki refuses to explain. She reminds him that he didn't feel
compelled to answer her question about where he has been. Victor
wants to know why Nikki is so upset, and Nikki claims she knows what
he's been up to. As Leanna digs into Max for flaking on her the night
before, Victoria enters and accuses Leanna of slander. Max steps in
and tells Leanna to leave. He introduces himself to Victoria, but she
insists her family doesn't need his sympathy. Isabella thinks the
whole family should spend the day together, so Paul and Ricky go
along with her to meet Mary for lunch. Michael and Christine decide
to take the day off from working, and enjoy the holiday. They arrive
at Gina's, and Christine spots Paul and the others at their table.
Larry asks Raul to go inform the Abbotts what's going on while he
goes looking for Ralph. Amanda admits to everyone that she has been

NEWS
· Will Danny Return to Y&R? Rumors persist that Michael Damian
(ex-Danny) may soon reprise his role on YOUNG AND RESTLESS, a part he
originated and played on and off from
1981-1998 - and the actor says that he's ready to fulfill his end of
the bargain. "I made it very clear: I'm open. Everywhere I go, I
get, ' You walked upstairs putting Daniel to sleep, and you never
came back down. What happened?' I'm still up there, dusting and
cleaning," he laughs. Now, it turns out that the powers-that-be may
be preparing to write him back in. "I had a pleasant talk with one of
the writers, and he said they were working on something," allows
Damian, but notes, "I'm not sure what they're concocting." Until the
call comes, the actor/singer is busy touring to promote his new
single, "Shadows In The Night," and recently completed a video for
the song. Thus far, he hasn't had a chance to visit his old stomping
grounds, but says, "I'm sure we're all going to get together [at some
point]. I may pop over. Heck, the security is so tight at CBS now, I
don't even know if they'll let me in anymore!" There is one rumor
that Damian admits he hasn't heard: that Danny could return with a
teenaged Daniel in tow. "It would be an interesting scenario. I love
teenagers. When you have a child [actor], you're limited in your
dialogue, your scenes, your time. It would be great to deal with
teenage problems." For now talks are ongoing; the only hurdle is
connecting Y&R's interest level and Damian's schedule. "I said, ' Let
me know what you come up with. If I'm not on the road somewhere and
it times out, I'll do everything possible to make it work. Let's do
it.' "
· BIG PLANS FOR LAURALEE. Lauralee Bell (Christine) is one of
THE YOUNG & THE RESTLESS' most popular actors, and when she left the
show at the end of 2001, fans were counting the days until her
maternity leave ended. She's only been back briefly as the city's
favorite lawyer, but recently she announced her second pregnancy. Now
the expectant mom speaks exclusively to Soaps in Depth, promising
fans she won't leave again — at least not for an extended period of
time. "I'd like to stay with the show," she reveals. "I would like
to work a schedule out with the writers and producers to make it
possible to continue in my role." Bell isn't the only one with a
change of heart. In fact, her alter ego, Christine, newly divorced,
newly back in town, has also undergone a metamorphosis: She's
interested in Michael Baldwin! "I know, it's out of character, but
something about his freakiness attracts her," says Bell. "Chris is a
new woman, so nothing she does will really surprise me." Fans may be
surprised by what Bell has to say, however. Get the latest in the new
CBS issue of Soaps In Depth!
· Amanda has had her hands full with Ralph these days, but
DENICE DUFF (Amanda) has only words of praise for her co-star DANIEL
QUINN (Ralph). "Well, I really adore him as a person," she
reveals. "He's funny and he's loveable, so to build all this venom
for him, I have to take a little moment because he's just so sweet. I
am a parent, and I think that's one of the best acting tools that
someone can draw off of. He is jeopardizing my daughter and it's easy
for me to feel what that would be like." It has been hard for Amanda
to say no to Ralph's increasing demands. "She totally has a weakness
for him," she admits. "I mean, in general she's a do-gooder and she
wants to please everyone and make everyone happy and just keep things
calm, you know? And it takes a lot to have her just go off. So I
think that's why she's prolonged this. Amanda will try to keep the
peace a little bit longer." It looks like this week that time has run
out
· Young & the Restless' Don Diamont (Brad) plays a supporting
role in the Adam Sandler/Jack Nicholson film, "Anger Management." The
film is still in production, so look for it to hit theaters something
like Summer 2003.
· Michelle Stafford (Phyllis) just completed production in a
starring role in the independent feature "Lost," which will be
touring film festivals. No release date is yet set.
· Peter Bergman (Jack) and Michelle Stafford will hit
the "airwaves" when they host an upcoming "Eye on America" for
CBS. "Eye on America" is broadcast on American Airlines. No airdate
for this episode has been determined as of yet.
· Will Dru's Return Help or Hurt Neil? Since Neil's life is
pretty much a mess right now on THE YOUNG AND THE RESTLESS, would the
return of his ex only make matters worse? Consider that food for
thought, seeing as sources are a buzz that Victoria Rowell will
reprise her role as Drucilla Winters beginning in August. The In
Depth Story: Poor, poor Neil. Since he already has sought comfort in
a bottle in the wake of brother Malcolm's death - to the point that
he has risked his job at Newman Enterprises - and watched potential
love interest Alex take a walk, it would seem that little else could
go wrong for him. Could a return by ex-love Drucilla add to his
misery, or perhaps offer him hope for the future? Rowell, Dru's
portrayer, has popped in and out of Y&R's Genoa City over the years
since taking her longest break in 1998 to film Fraternity Boys (for
writer/producer Robert Townsend) and A Wake In Providence. This
time around, sources say the actress will enjoy a limited return,
perhaps serving to reintroduce what Soaps In Depth is hearing is an
all grown-up Lily (see On The Way In, page 15). When viewers last
saw the mother-and-daughter team, they were headed out of town so
that Dru could concentrate on her international modeling career. A
Y&R rep had no comment on Rowell's return, nor did the actor who will
be most involved with Dru and Lily. " I can't comment on this right
now," said Kristoff St. John (Neil), when Soaps in Depth asked about
the rumors. "Not this week," he added with a grin. Rowell's latest
comeback is not a complete surprise. Upon her 2000 return, the
actress - who enjoyed a role on DIAGNOSIS MURDER until the CBS drama
series' finale - waxed philosophical about the pros and cons of
leaving a good job behind. "Don't go if you don't have to. Don't
burn any bridges," she told Soaps In Depth. "It is extremely
competitive out there. The notion of leaving primetime or daytime to
seek a movie career could almost be deemed irresponsible. I don't
understand when people think they've going to leave the show to
pursue a career in film. That business is so cyclical. The same
stars are used over and over. The formula is astounding. It's good
or bad." In closing, Rowell acknowledged that she had "no desire to
be a feature film star. I've always just wanted to work."
· Could Malcolm Resurface to Reopen Old Wounds? Neil's in a
bad way, and Drucilla is on her way back with a teenage Lily. The
fourth very important piece of this familial Y&R puzzle is Malcolm,
Neil's hunky baby brother and Dru's onetime one-night stand (from
when she was under the influence of some very potent cold medicine).
Is a comeback from-the-dead for Malcolm just around the corner? The
Brash & Sassy shutterbug last was seen on assignment in Africa, where
a collapses bridge sent him fatally coincided with the exit of
Daytime Emmy winner Shemar Moore, who left the role in February after
eight years. Now that Moore's gamble has paid off - he will co-star
in the new fall series BIRDS OF PREY - it would take a recast to
resurrect Malcolm. While that notion is met with scoffs by a Y&R
rep, Soaps In Depth nonetheless hears that the soap is hot to cast a
buff and handsome 25 to 32 year old African-American male in the role
of a dynamic go-getter. If that is, in fact, a recasting call for
Malcolm, just how happy will Neil be to see his brother back among
the living? Might Malcolm's return create more misery for Neil by
addressing a long-lingering question: Is Lily actually his daughter,
not Neil's?
· SPENCER REDFORD (Caitlin): Redford portrays a gal pal of
Colleen's, beginning in late July. In a biting coincidence, Redford
co-started with another Y&R teen, Kelly Kruger (Mackenzie), in the
soon-to-be released "The Vampire Clan."

show.

Monday 7/1
Diego and Sharon wonder what is the reason behind Victoria suddenly
acting friendly with him. Diego decides to play along with Victoria's
game in order to keep her from focusing on them. Nick thinks Diego is
definitely interested in Victoria, and wants to know how she feels
about him. Jack and Phyllis continue to disagree about Diane's
intentions on staying at the house. Jack agrees that there's tension
between them, but Phyllis is the cause, not Diane. Phyllis thinks
Jack is a fool if he can't see what Diane is trying to do. Diane
mentions to Jack that she'll be moving to Denver soon, and Graziella
enters to say she's quitting. Later, Diane sees Phyllis backing out
of the driveway and gets behind the car, gives the trunk a big whack
and falls to the ground. Phyllis continues backing out. Jill tries to
fix things with Sean, but her actions have told him that they don't
have a future together. Sean exits, and John comforts Jill. Jill begs
John not to let Mac participate in the summer campaign, insisting it
would be a public relations nightmare. Raul and Brittany discuss
their prom night and how excited they are about college. Ralph
enters, disguised as a cop, and questions Raul about Billy and Mac's
whereabouts. Billy and Mac decide to wait until dark in order to find
another hiding place. Larry confronts Amanda about Ralph. Larry and
Amanda find Kay lying on the motel room floor. Kay blames Amanda for
having done all this. Ralph appears outside the Abbott hideaway with
a switchblade.
Tuesday 7/2
Jack comes to Diane's rescue and grills Phyllis like a criminal.
Phyllis insists that her running over Diane was an accident. As the
paramedics wheel Diane away, Phyllis asks Jack to give her the
benefit of the doubt. Victor returns and is very happy to hear his
children are doing well, but is anxious to see Nikki. Max makes it
clear to Nikki that Victor doesn't deserve her. Victor walks into
Nikki's living room and sees Max holding her. Ralph enters the
hideaway and finds that Billy and Mac had been there. Raul questions
Ralph and offers to warn the Abbotts that Mac and Billy are in
danger, but Ralph tells him not to say anything. Later, Raul learns
from Larry that the cop was actually Ralph in disguise. Kay and
Amanda go to Jabot and alert Jill of what's going on. Jill threatens
Amanda that if Ralph harms Billy, then her life won't be worth
living. Billy and Mac flee to the lake, and Billy decides to turn
himself in for Ralph's murder. Mac assures Billy that she won't ever
leave his side. As they hold each other and express their love, Ralph
whacks Billy unconscious with a rock.
Wednesday 7/3
Victoria and Nick view a tape of Leanna's expose, and insist that it
must be a fake. Victor demands to know why Max was visiting Nikki,
but Nikki refuses to explain. She reminds him that he didn't feel
compelled to answer her question about where he has been. Victor
wants to know why Nikki is so upset, and Nikki claims she knows what
he's been up to. As Leanna digs into Max for flaking on her the night
before, Victoria enters and accuses Leanna of slander. Max steps in
and tells Leanna to leave. He introduces himself to Victoria, but she
insists her family doesn't need his sympathy. Isabella thinks the
whole family should spend the day together, so Paul and Ricky go
along with her to meet Mary for lunch. Michael and Christine decide
to take the day off from working, and enjoy the holiday. They arrive
at Gina's, and Christine spots Paul and the others at their table.
Larry asks Raul to go inform the Abbotts what's going on while he
goes looking for Ralph. Amanda admits to everyone that she has been
helping Ralph for months, but never thought he would go after Kay or
Mac. John alerts the police, who are headed to Lakeside Park. As Kay
lashes out at Amanda, she stumbles and falls limp. Jill exclaims they
have to take her to the hospital. Ralph holds a knife to Mac, who
struggles to tear herself loose. Larry arrives and tries to persuade
Ralph to let her go. Mac breaks free, and Ralph lunges at Larry with
a knife. They struggle and fall off the ledge.

and Amanda that Kay is exhausted and suffering from extreme stress.

explain to the police officers what happened, and that Larry saved

for me to feel what that would be like." It has been hard for Amanda
to say no to Ralph's increasing demands. "She totally has a weakness
for him," she admits. "I mean, in general she's a do-gooder and she
wants to please everyone and make everyone happy and just keep things
calm, you know? And it takes a lot to have her just go off. So I
think that's why she's prolonged this. Amanda will try to keep the
peace a little bit longer." It looks like this week that time has run
out
· Young & the Restless' Don Diamont (Brad) plays a supporting
role in the Adam Sandler/Jack Nicholson film, "Anger Management." The
film is still in production, so look for it to hit theaters something
like Summer 2003.
· Michelle Stafford (Phyllis) just completed production in a
starring role in the independent feature "Lost," which will be
touring film festivals. No release date is yet set.
· Peter Bergman (Jack) and Michelle Stafford will hit
the "airwaves" when they host an upcoming "Eye on America" for
CBS. "Eye on America" is broadcast on American Airlines. No airdate
for this episode has been determined as of yet.
· Will Dru's Return Help or Hurt Neil? Since Neil's life is
pretty much a mess right now on THE YOUNG AND THE RESTLESS, would the
return of his ex only make matters worse? Consider that food for
thought, seeing as sources are a buzz that Victoria Rowell will
reprise her role as Drucilla Winters beginning in August. The In
Depth Story: Poor, poor Neil. Since he already has sought comfort in
a bottle in the wake of brother Malcolm's death - to the point that
he has risked his job at Newman Enterprises - and watched potential
love interest Alex take a walk, it would seem that little else could
go wrong for him. Could a return by ex-love Drucilla add to his
misery, or perhaps offer him hope for the future? Rowell, Dru's
portrayer, has popped in and out of Y&R's Genoa City over the years
since taking her longest break in 1998 to film Fraternity Boys (for
writer/producer Robert Townsend) and A Wake In Providence. This
time around, sources say the actress will enjoy a limited return,
perhaps serving to reintroduce what Soaps In Depth is hearing is an
all grown-up Lily (see On The Way In, page 15). When viewers last
saw the mother-and-daughter team, they were headed out of town so
that Dru could concentrate on her international modeling career. A
Y&R rep had no comment on Rowell's return, nor did the actor who will
be most involved with Dru and Lily. " I can't comment on this right
now," said Kristoff St. John (Neil), when Soaps in Depth asked about
the rumors. "Not this week," he added with a grin. Rowell's latest
comeback is not a complete surprise. Upon her 2000 return, the
actress - who enjoyed a role on DIAGNOSIS MURDER until the CBS drama
series' finale - waxed philosophical about the pros and cons of
leaving a good job behind. "Don't go if you don't have to. Don't
burn any bridges," she told Soaps In Depth. "It is extremely
competitive out there. The notion of leaving primetime or daytime to
seek a movie career could almost be deemed irresponsible. I don't
understand when people think they've going to leave the show to
pursue a career in film. That business is so cyclical. The same
stars are used over and over. The formula is astounding. It's good
or bad." In closing, Rowell acknowledged that she had "no desire to
be a feature film star. I've always just wanted to work."
· Could Malcolm Resurface to Reopen Old Wounds? Neil's in a
bad way, and Drucilla is on her way back with a teenage Lily. The
fourth very important piece of this familial Y&R puzzle is Malcolm,
Neil's hunky baby brother and Dru's onetime one-night stand (from
when she was under the influence of some very potent cold medicine).
Is a comeback from-the-dead for Malcolm just around the corner? The
Brash & Sassy shutterbug last was seen on assignment in Africa, where
a collapses bridge sent him fatally coincided with the exit of
Daytime Emmy winner Shemar Moore, who left the role in February after
eight years. Now that Moore's gamble has paid off - he will co-star
in the new fall series BIRDS OF PREY - it would take a recast to
resurrect Malcolm. While that notion is met with scoffs by a Y&R
rep, Soaps In Depth nonetheless hears that the soap is hot to cast a
buff and handsome 25 to 32 year old African-American male in the role
of a dynamic go-getter. If that is, in fact, a recasting call for
Malcolm, just how happy will Neil be to see his brother back among
the living? Might Malcolm's return create more misery for Neil by
addressing a long-lingering question: Is Lily actually his daughter,
not Neil's?
· SPENCER REDFORD (Caitlin): Redford portrays a gal pal of
Colleen's, beginning in late July. In a biting coincidence, Redford
co-started with another Y&R teen, Kelly Kruger (Mackenzie), in the
soon-to-be released "The Vampire Clan."

Y&R SCOOPS

NOTE: Thoughts inside the ( ) are mine and not scoops!
Jack and Phyllis argue over Diane with Jack blaming Phyllis for the
tension. Diane fires her nanny and claims to Jack that she quit.
Phyllis goes to her car to cool off and has the radio turned up loud
as Diane gets under her car to pretend to be hurt only Phyllis decides
to go for a ride and backs over Diane the paramedics arrive and
Phyllis realizes Diane will use this to extend her stay (yikes! Diane
is crazy!)
Ralph pretends to be a cop to get Raul to tell him where Mac and Billy
are but Raul give phony information (good for Raul!)
Victor returns to town and Nikki lets him have it over all his former
flame reunions and when Victor refuses to explain Nikki storms off.
Victoria sees Leanna's tape and later blasts her at Gina's and later
warns Max to stay out of her family's affairs. Victoria later
confronts Victor who admits that his old flames had nothing to do with
wanting to start old affairs up again but related to his future with
Nikki (confused Victoria, I am)
Larry tells Amanda he knows Ralph is the fake repairman as Amanda
tries to explain herself when Esther tells them that Kay is missing,
they find her in Ralph's hotel room where she tells them that Ralph is
after Mac (go Larry go!)
Sean leaves town and John comes in to comfort Jill (interesting)
Kay and Amanda head to Jabot to tell Jill about Billy and Mac where
Kay passes out and is taken to the emergency room where Billy and Mac
come later (Poor Kay and Billy!)
Amanda tells Mac why she worked with Ralph but Mac is not willing to
listen and tells her mom she wishes she had never come to town at all.
Amanda leaves and Jill comforts Mac (Jill of all people!)
Phyllis goes to Michael to let off some steam and he tells her to keep
fighting for her man (how do you fight a crazy woman?)
John worries that the publicity surrounding Billy and Mac may hurt
Jabot and thinks of canceling the Glow by Jabot summer campaign (of
course he will change his mind)
Diego tells Sharon that he is willing to act like he is interested in
Victoria if it will keep her in the dark about him and Sharon (good
grief)
Chris invites Michael to spend the 4th of July with her and they run
into Isabella and Paul (very interesting)
The Newman's continue with their 4th of July party preparations (while
Victoria snoops, Diego and Sharon worry, Nick is oblivious, Nikki is
mad at Victor, and Victor is not talking...what a party!)
Brad and Ashley invite Nate and Olivia over for a 4th of July picnic
(I guess Neil won't be invited)
Mac and Billy head out for the lake and realize that they need to turn
themselves in as they realize they still love each other and share a
kiss but Ralph knocks Billy over the head with a rock and grabs Mac
but Larry shows up and starts to fight with Ralph as the two go over a
cliff and into the lake. Ralph and Larry come ashore where Ralph
starts to attack Larry but hears the police and gets away again (they
are still in love with each other!)

Welcome Home, C.J.
Mick Cain is reprising the role of C.J. Garrison on The Bold and the
Beautiful. C.J. was born on air to Clarke Garrison (Daniel McVicar)
and Sally Spectra (Darlene Conley) back in 1991. Clarke had married
Sally in order to gain part control of Spectra Fashions, so the
marriage was short-lived. Clarke soon abandoned Sally, and C.J. was
deeply affected by his father's absence during his childhood. C.J. was
very close with Rick Forrester (Justin Torkildsen), until they became
entangled in a love triangle with Amber Moore (Adrienne Frantz). C.J.
left Los Angeles almost two years ago, after losing his wife Becky to
a terminal illness and after his half-sister Macy was killed in a car
accident. Now, C.J. is returning to Los Angeles after having attended
business school. C.J. will explain to his mother Sally that after
experiencing the loss of Becky and Macy so close together, he needed
to get away and spend some time alone. Watch out for Mick Cain's first
airdate on July 1st. Refresh your C.J. memories and check out C.J.'s
scrapbook. Don't forget to keep checking back here for a C.J. trivia
quiz and also, go behind-the-scenes with Mick Cain! For Becky and
C.J.'s love story, click here.

#7415 Director Noel Maxam Air date 7/2/02

IT NEVER ENTERED MY MIND: Phyllis' car radio is so loud - "I like a
man crazy about me" - she doesn't realize she's hit Diane until the
'bitch' starts to scream. Phyllis immediately stops her car - hops out
to see what's going on - sees Diane in a heap on the ground - OH GOD!
Diane - MY LEG - YOU RAN OVER MY LEG! - OHMIGOD - MY LEG! Phyllis is
horrified - I didn't see you - this was an accident . . throws up her
arms in disbelief. Jack hears the noise - dashes out - what's going on
here? Phyllis - I honestly don't know. Diane - my leg hurts - Phyllis
ran over my leg! Jack - don't just stand there, Phyllis - call 911.
As Phyllis rushes off to do just that - Jack questions Diane about
what happened. She explains she was cutting roses - walked across
driveway & this car started to backup - I didn't see Phyllis in the
car - she ran over my leg - it really hurts. Phyllis - I checked - I
didn't see anyone before I started to backup - I got out to check as
soon as heard Diane scream. Jack looks at Phyllis skeptically. Phyllis
- don't you believe me, Jack? - I said this was an accident. Diane is
moaning & groaning. They hear sirens approaching. Jack - take it easy,
Diane - the medics will be right here. Paramedic quickly tend to Diane
- they give her a shot of morphine to quell the pain - in moments have
her leg in a temporary cast and are ready to leave for Memorial - we
won't know what's up until ER doctors have a look see. Jack wants to
go along. Diane - no, you need to take care of our son - tell Kyle his
mommy will be back home soon . . as she's wheeled away on a gurney.
Suspicious Jack wants to hear Phyllis' description of what happened
again. Phyllis - I'm your wife, Jack - I'd never lie to you about
something like this - at the very least you could give me the benefit
of a doubt. Graziella comes out to say Kyle is awake & he wants his
mommy. Jack - I'll take care of it in just a minute. Phyllis - mark my
word, Jack - that 'bitch' is going to use this to extend her stay - if
you can't see that you have on blinders as big as Texas. Curt Jack - I
have to take care of my son. Chalk one up for Diane.

HELLO, YOUNG LOVERS: As Billy & Mac set up camp at 'the' lake (your
Boy Scout leader would be proud of you, Billy) - Raul shows up at
playhouse. Phony cop Ralph berates Raul for following him there - this
is a police investigation & you need to stay out of it. Raul notices
Billy's tux jacket - he must have been here - I should tell Billy's
family. Ralph steps on poker - this is from the Chancellor house. Raul
- how do you know that? - oh - there's blood on it. Ralph - listen to
me - don't talk about this to anyone - it is essential that we find
Billy Abbott & Mackenzie Browning - they are wanted for questioning in
this case - do you have any idea where they are?
**At CL - Mrs C, Amanda & Shark come in looking for Billy & Mac - Cody
hasn't seen them this morning. Anxious Amanda wants to go look for
them - my daughter may be in danger. Kay stops her - we need to know
exactly what happened - did Ralph hurt Mac in anyway? Amanda recounts
how she went to check at Kay's when she heard Mac tore her dress
knowing that Ralph was there - he was blackmailing me - I wanted to
keep him away from Mac - he said he take the necklace and get out of
town - I let him in and left - Ralph was on the floor when I got back
there - he came to & we left - you know the rest - Ralph said he was
calming Mac down - that's all. Shark - come on, Mandy - did you really
believe that slimeball? Dumb Dora Amanda just looks! Kay - I'm going
to check with the Abbott's - perhaps they've heard from Billy & Mac.
Amanda insists that she go along too.
**At Jabot - when Kay can't find John - she takes a moment to call the
police - leaves a message for Detective Joyner - have him call
555-0510. Jill comes in - blows up when she sees Amanda out of jail.
Kay - stop this - I bailed her out - we can discuss this later - right
now we need to 'focus' on finding Billy & Mac - Ralph is in town - we
need to find them before he does. Jill blasts Amanda for bringing that
'monster' to town - if he hurts even one hair on my son's head - your
life won't be worth living!
**Back at CL - Shark quizzes Raul about Mac & Billy. Raul - there's
nothing to worry about - a cop talked to me after he talked to the
Abbotts - he told me not to tell anyone about it. Shark - why wouldn't
he get Mrs C on the horn - did he ask you questions about Mac & Billy?
Raul nods. Shark takes out picture of Ralph - is this the cop? Raul -
yeah - but how did you know? Shark - that bastard! - I'm getting a bad
feeling about this - real bad!
**Back at 'the' lake - Billy tells Mac he's decided to turn himself in
- if I go to jail it will change my life forever - I love you too much
to let that happen to you. Mac reminds Billy that running is still an
option - I'd go with you - together we could do it! Billy is convinced
he needs to turn himself in - no matter what the consequences - you
need to think of your Grandma & Mom. Mac - you're a big part of my
life too, Billy - you saved me from Ralph. Billy - what? - are you
still wondering if I should turn myself in? Mac - you could still
change your mind. Billy - I can't - I need to do this for both of us.
Mac - I love you, Billy. Billy - I love you too. ~kiss/kiss~ Suddenly
Mac sees Ralph - OHMIGOD! Ralph slams Billy on the head with a rock -
Billy goes down! Frantic Mac - Billy! - then cowers as she looks up at
Ralph!

WHERE'S THAT RAINBOW?: Nick is in Vikki's office - we're all set - I
think this is the last time I'll have to bother you today - have you
heard anything from Dad? Just then - Victor walks in - I'm back! . .
gives Vikki a ~hug~ Nick - we were just talking about you - how was
your trip? Victor - eventful - but we can talk about that later - I
want to catch up about you two. Nick - my life has been awesome and
Victoria's . . . Vikki - I'm doing just fine too. Victor - I haven't
seen you in such a good mood for a long time - is there something I
should know? Vikki - there's nothing new. Victor - have you talked to
your mother lately? Vikki - I haven't seen her for a couple of days -
why? Victor - I've been trying to contact her - she hasn't answered my
calls - I need to go talk to her - see you both later.
Vikki - did you see the gleam in Dad's eyes? I'll bet something is up
- BTW - thanks for not mentioning Diego. Nick - well - are you going
to meet him later tonight? you know he's done work at 8! Vikki - yeah,
like I'd just stop by because a guy told me to. A messenger comes in -
Victoria Newman? Vikki - yes. Will you please sign for this? Vikki -
it's from Leanna Love - I'm not going to spoil this day! Curiosity
kills the cat - Vikki opens envelope - pulls out tape - note says 'in
case you missed this last night' Nick - just pitch it. Vikki drops
tape in waste basket - but will it stay there?
**Out at ranch - Maxwell Hollister surprises Nikki with a visit - I
saw your reaction to Leanna Love's report - I thought you might need
someone to talk to - you're an amazing woman - don't let Victor Newman
do this to you again. Nikki is annoyed that this man thinks he knows
her and how she feels. Max reminds Nikki that he has dreams that have
been dashed too - it's easy to put myself in your shoes - you're a
dynamic, successful, independent woman - I care about you - don't let
Victor lord over you again - especially after what he has done to you
with this 'trip'! Nikki - I hate to say this - but you may be right,
Mr Hollister. Just then - they hear the door close - Nikki & Hollister
are stunned to see Victor walk in.

Happy 50th Birthday, Guiding Light!
Guiding Light, the broadcast industry's longest-running daily program,
marked its fiftieth anniversary on television on June 30, 2002, having
aired its 13,941st episode on CBS -- and 16,401st episode overall. To
celebrate its milestone, the show unveiled a new opening sequence on
Monday, June 24.
Created by Irna Phillips, The Guiding Light, as it was originally
titled when it debuted as a fifteen-minute series on January 25, 1937,
also recently marked its 65th year since its premiere on radio.
Guiding Light was -- and continues to be -- produced by Procter &
Gamble Productions, the company who put the "soap" in soap opera.
Over the past six decades, Guiding Light has led its counterparts in
daytime and prime-time drama in exploring a range of topical and
timeless issues. Beginning in 1962, the series tackled its -- and
daytime's -- first social issue-driven storyline: the early detection
of Bert Bauer's uterine cancer via a Pap smear. Since then, subjects
addressed have ranged from organ transplant to Down's syndrome,
substance abuse to domestic violence, birth control to adoption, and
leukemia to cochlear implants. Of course, love, romance, family and
community have always been at the core of the program.
"When Irna Phillips created her first script for Guiding Light, no
one, not even Irna herself, could have foreseen that the program would
be written into the record books," said Mary Alice Dwyer-Dobbin,
Executive-in-Charge of Production for Procter & Gamble Productions.
"The amazing thing is that the complexity of storytelling and
production has evolved considerably over time yet the simple,
life-affirming issues and values Irna began to explore 65 years ago
still lie at the heart of the show, resonating with viewers."
On radio as well as television, Guiding Light has continually captured
the hearts and minds of viewers with compelling storylines and
enduring characters. Currently, the always adventurous, Reva Shayne
(played by three-time Emmy winner Kim Zimmer) and her soulmate, Josh
Lewis (Robert Newman), are embarking on marriage for the third -- and
hopefully, final -- time; Dr. Rick Bauer (Michael O'Leary), who
suffers from a deteriorating heart condition, and former prince
Richard Winslow (Bradley Cole), victim of a horrible car accident,
fight for their lives; Beth Raines tries to rebuild her life by coming
to terms with the past of her alternate personality, Lorelei Hills
(both played by Beth Chamberlin); and the feisty Harley Cooper (Beth
Ehlers) and the irksome Gus Aitoro (Ricky Paull Goldin) try to make a
"go" of their new relationship despite the objections of everyone in
town, including Harley's ex-husband, the wealthy Phillip Spaulding
(Grant Aleksander).
On Guiding Light, audiences also got their very first look at many
now-famous faces, such as Kevin Bacon, Tammy Blanchard (Me and My
Shadows: The Judy Garland Story), Ruby Dee, Taye Diggs, Frances
Fisher, Allison Janney, James Earl Jones, Melina Kanakaredes, Sherry
Stringfield, Cicely Tyson, Cynthia Watros (Titus), Billy Dee Williams,
JoBeth Williams, and Ian Ziering, to name a few.
Guiding Light is the only daytime program inducted into the Soap Opera
Hall of Fame. The program has been the recipient of 55 Daytime Emmy
Awards as well as numerous other industry accolades.
Guiding Light can be seen weekdays on the CBS Television Network.
(Check local listings). A Procter & Gamble Production, the show is
taped in New York City. Paul Rauch is the Executive Producer; Lucky
Gold and Millee Taggart are the show's Headwriters. Mary Alice
Dwyer-Dobbin is the Executive-in-Charge of Production for Procter &
Gamble Productions.

Guiding Light, the longest running drama, is now in its 50th year on

numerous awards for its chic, stylish costume design. Entertainment
Tonight is the world's #1 source for entertainment news, fashions and
trends in Hollywood and around the world, and has been on the air for

"Guiding Light and Entertainment Tonight were obvious choices for our
opening," said Ann Stephens, A.C. Chase CEO. "Both are among the
longest running television programs in the U.S., and have loyal
viewers. We anticipate this will bring a larger audience to each
program, while also creating a bond between the viewers and the shows.
Moreover, I believe that people who come to our web site will be
pleasantly surprised at the unique designs offered."

ATWT Recasts Chris Hughes

As The World Turns will bring back Christopher Hughes next month.

This time around, however, another new actor will be playing the part.
Paul Korver, who exited As The World Turns in 2001, will not be
reprising the role. Instead, a newcomer has been tapped for the part.
The actor will be the sixth actor to have held down the role since
1990.
When last spotted on-screen, Chris was played by Paul Korver. Korver
held down the part from September 1999 through March 2001. At the
time, Korver's exit was called "storyline dictated" by a show
spokesperson.

The storyline involving Chris had the character leaving Oakdale to
attend medical school. The decision to exit town came after Chris
professed his romantic feelings for Emily - and Emily's announcement
that the feelings were not mutual.

This time around, newcomer Alan White will play the part of
Christopher Hughes. He will make his debut in mid-July.

B&B Smith Downgraded To Recurring

While soap opera stardom is its own reward, there are some limitations
that this stardom places on a performer. Most performers are not
permitted to take on long-term outside projects, such as film roles,
without special permission from show executives. Because of this, many
soap stars have to pass on movie roles.

Daniel Smith (Zende Forrester Dominguez) has opted to be removed from
contract status so that he can focus on his budding film career.

Y&R Looking to Bolster African American Roster

Though unconfirmed by the show, insiders are hinting that The Young
and the Restless could be bringing back two of its most popular
African American characters -- Drucilla and Malcolm Winters.

Drucilla hasn't been seen in nearly two years. A contract impasse
caused actress Victoria Rowell to vacate her role with the show.
Malcolm, on the other hand, was written out of the show earlier this
year when Emmy winner Shemar Moore opted not to renew his contract.

KANAN STAYING PUT
The rumblings that Sean Kanan (Deacon) is days away from leaving his
lecherous lothario behind on The Bold and the Beautiful can be put on
ice. "Sean loves The Bold and the Beautiful; The Bold and the
Beautiful loves him. He's not going anywhere," exclaims his publicist.
Bridget's explosive revelation that her husband got her mother
pregnant helped create concerns that Bridget's wrath would lead to
Deacon's quick exit. "An end doesn't necessarily mean an end, it's
just a way to get to a bigger and better beginning," Kanan's publicist
teases.
During Emmy week, Kanan revealed to TV Guide Online that he is
contracted with the show until 2005. He'll have to do it while
juggling a blossoming movie career. Kanan's latest feature, Chasing
Holden, which he wrote, produced and stars in, will open in Dallas,
TX, for a limited run beginning June 28, and in Los Angeles this
August.
GL AT 50
Pinpointing the success of Guiding Light, which celebrates its 50th
anniversary on June 30, is a cinch for show vet Michael O'Leary
(Rick). After all, he is an offspring of one of the show's founding
families. "We're about getting behind the coffee table and dealing
with family issues - that's what we do best," states O'Leary.
O'Leary, who joined the cast when he was 22, admits he was clueless on
the ways of daytime. "I kept all my boxes stored because I thought I
was never going to last." O'Leary quickly bonded with his best friend
onscreen Grant Aleksander (Phillip), forging a friendship that has
lasted offscreen for 20 years. "We would go down to the village and
bowl and go to John's Pizza every Friday night. It became a
tradition."
Now a mentor to GL's younger sect, O'Leary passes on the lessons he
learned from GL greats Larry Gates (ex-H.B.), Beverlee McKinsey
(ex-Alexandra) and Mary Stuart (ex-Meta). "They were the pros, and
Mary typified that," he says of the great late actress. "Here you had
a woman going through chemotherapy, but she came to the set, always
knew her lines and wanted to be there."
From The Four Musketeers to his latest marriage to Mel Boudreau,
O'Leary accounts his staying power to the show's incredible
environment behind the scenes. "[ER]'s Sherry Stringfield (ex-Blake)
once told me it was one of the best places she's ever worked." GL
celebrated its longevity with a party on June 27, where the theme was,
appropriately, a barbecue. "That's my kind of party," O'Leary
declares. "I've been told the annual Bauer barbecue (airing on July 4)
is our most watched show of the year. People know when they turn it
on, they are going to see all the familiar faces they've come to
love."

ATWT reveals a new show open on July 8.

Young and Restless Weekly Scoops


NOTE: Thoughts inside the ( ) are mine and not scoops!
Amanda steals Katherine's necklace and turns it over to Ralph who gets
away (bad choice)
Jill and Kay start almost get into a fight at the prom until Mac
interrupts and says she has to go home and change her dress because
she tore it, later Billy tells Amanda that Mac went home to change and
she panics to think Mac could be alone with Ralph (scary!)
Brittany dashes out and tells Raul she has to get to the lake to be
with JT but she later returns and apologizes admitting she did feel
something special with him (it's about time she woke up!)
Larry tells Amanda he does not understand her behavior lately and she
tells him to get lost (another bad choice)
Mac runs into Ralph at Kay's and he blames her for breaking up his
relationship with Amanda and that Amanda has been helping him scam
Kay. He steps towards her and Billy hits him over the head with the
fireplace poker, they think Ralph is dead and they run (uh oh!)
Amanda gets to Kay's and finds Ralph lying on the floor, but he wakes
up and still wants to go on with the plan to steal Kay's jewels but a
car comes up the drive and Ralph runs away again (could she make any
more bad choices?)
Billy and Mac head to their special place as Amanda wonders where they
are (hope they stay hidden!)
The police show up to question Esther about Ralph and Jill brings in
her video camera and announces that she has proof that Amanda stole
the necklace and she is taken into police custody while Larry heads
down to bail her out with Kay's money. Larry later sees a sketch of
the bogus reparman and recognizes it as Ralph (finally!!)
Mac tells Billy what Ralph said about Amanda helping him and they
overhear a news report that she has been arrested (poor Mac)
When the coast is clear Ralph heads back for the jewels but runs into
Kay, after she refuses to give him the combination to the safe he
kidnaps her and takes her to his hotel room where he leaves her tied
up to search for Billy and Mac (good grief!)
Neil continues his drinking while Serena is there to listen to his
problems (take a bath!!!!)
Sharon and Diego think that Victoria is giving up her snoopathon but
she is just scamming them to get more information (Sharon and Diego..
deserve to live in the dumb tree FOREVER!)
Phyllis is under suspicion for trashing the guest suite so that Diane
would not be able to move in and Diane decides she has to come up with
a new plan (yeah one that realizes Jack REALLY loves Phyllis)
Hope and Victor talk about old times and he meets his son Victor Jr.
who does not know he is his father (well at least he meets him)
Max and Nikki have dinner and while there they see a tape of Victor
and Hope holding hands on Leanna's talk show which devastates Nikki
(good grief)
Chris and Michael have dinner and he falls asleep on the sofa and
stays there all night, the next day Chris admits she is happy the two
of them are getting closer (yeah!)

Ross and Blake have a plan to trap Tory, but it goes dangerously awry.
Marina flirts with Ben and proves she won't take no for an answer.
Michelle is kidnapped by a pair of familiar faces.
Phillip kisses Olivia, leading to a surprising reaction.
There's a New Teen in Town!
There's a blonde vixen coming to Springfield and it's not, as has been
rumored, Harley's prodigal daughter, Susan. Instead, the comely
teenager poised to bewitch the GL teen scene is a newly SORASED (Soap
Opera Rapid Aging Syndrome) Tammy Layne Winslow, the daughter of
Cassie and her first husband, Rob Layne. Cassie will be played by
Stephanie Gatschet, who previously appeared as a runaway on Another
World and As the World Turns. Her other television credits include Law
& Order. Watch for the all grown up Tammy to debut on Friday, July 5.
A New Open for the Light!
Monday, June 24 (Tuesday, June 25 for day-behinders) is the big day --
Guiding Light will unveil its ninth show opening! The thirty-second
title track will feature new music by GL's Emmy winning composer,
Brian D. Siewert, and combine the image of a lighthouse beacon with
that of current cast members. You won't want to miss it!
Backstage Shake-Up at GL!
Beginning July 8, Ellen Wheeler (Marley; ATWT) will begin working as a
line producer at Guiding Light. She will produce the show on alternate
days and direct two shows a month. Ellen began her daytime career on
Another World, then moved her popular (though periodically unbalanced)
character to As the World Turns.
Gus Goes East of Eden!
Is there a serpent in the Garden of Eden Gus and Harley have created
for themselves? There just might be! Her name is Eden, played by
daytime newcomer Teresa Hill, and she is a mystery woman from Gus's
past -- a past that includes a juvenile criminal record Gus isn't
really eager for the world to see. Will she cause trouble for Harley
and the new man in her life? Bet on it! Look for Eden to first pop up
in a flashback in late July, then hit town with a vengeance come
August!
ATWT--Emily, Molly and Abigail's Ex is Back!
Christopher Hughes, ex-boy toy of several Oakdale women and beloved
son of Hughes scions Bob and Kim, is coming home all grown up, a bona
fide doctor and in the person of actor Alan White. Alan, a daytime
newcomer, has a lot in common with his character. Both are Midwestern
lads (Alan hails from Colorado), both went the pre-med route (Alan
holds a degree in zoology and was headed for medical school before
modeling and acting got in the way). In addition, Alan speaks fluent
Russian after studying for a year in St. Petersburg. He began taping
his new role on Monday, June 17, after only getting to New York the
week before, then flying back to Colorado to play best man at a
friend's wedding for the weekend. Look for the new Chris Hughes to
begin airing in July. And look for Abigail to totally freak out at the
sight of him!
ATWT forecast

Coming up the Week of June 24
Molly lies about her destination and disappears from Oakdale.
Simon isn't acting like himself, and Katie is starting to get
suspicious.
Craig gets ready to attend another family dinner, because the one with
him, Rosanna, Carly and Jack went oh, so well.
Bob tells Abigail that Chris is coming home.
Margo's health symptoms prompt Hal to recommend she take a pregnancy
test.
Emily spills the beans to Alison, and Alison, being Alison, does not
react well to meeting her new mommy.

Welcome Home, C.J.
Mick Cain is reprising the role of C.J. Garrison on The Bold and the
Beautiful. C.J. was born on air to Clarke Garrison (Daniel McVicar)
and Sally Spectra (Darlene Conley) back in 1991. Clarke had married
Sally in order to gain part control of Spectra Fashions, so the
marriage was short-lived. Clarke soon abandoned Sally, and C.J. was

remember how I like my coffee. Victor - and a whole lot more - any
regrets? (Leanna's spy is recording it all from nearby table) Hope -
no regrets - I knew I couldn't keep you on farm - you had so many
things to take care of - your business is your life - I did try live
in your world - I'm sorry it didn't work out - I wouldn't change a
thing in my life - but I sometimes wonder what our lives would have
been like with a few changes. Victor - I think about that too - you're
a beautiful woman, Hope - inside and out - gives her a ~kiss~
**Back in Genoa City - Nikki accepts Maxwell Hollister's dinner
invitation - now is wondering why - he's not opening up to her -

I caught my wife cheating - when we got married ten years ago - it
wasn't the first time for either of us - we promised each other to be
honest - she says I drove her to it. Nikki - honesty and truth are the
foundation for all good relationships - was it abuse? Max - I loved my
wife - I'd never hurt anyone - but I have quite a temper - I lash out
- then think about it later - I admit I was angry at Victor - I'm
sorry I put you in the middle of all of this - I'm glad you came out
to dinner with me. Nikki - I admit I've been out to dinner with a lot
of men - but this is different - and I must say - it's not all bad.

WINTERS TALE: Neil wants to go talk to Nate - Serena stops him - look
in the mirror - do you want Nate to see you drunk? - you'd scare him!
Neil - I've already done that . . as he goes to wash up. Neil comes

now. Serena agrees - you don't want to hurt him. Neil goes into an
Emmy rant - feels like the walls are closing in on him - he has no one
to count on - everyone wants to tell him what to do - has made it to
the top on his own - Victor's right hand - one little mistake and
they're all over me - I can drink when I want to - nobody needs to
tell me what to do - finally admits he's a lousy drunk - throws booze
bottle at fireplace - shattered bottle falls to the floor in pieces.

better - gives Nate a ~hug~ then goes off to tucks him in.
When O gets back - Brad has some information for her - Nicholson House
will take Neil tonight. Ash - have you heard of it? O - it's one of

talking. But she is writing. Lorelei kept a diary while she was lost.
Now Beth has found it and is eagerly reading up on her own past. And,
thanks to St. Martin's Press, you can too. Lorelei's Guiding Light:
An Intimate Diary is available at a bookstore near you! To read
excerpts, as well as watch an exclusive interview with Beth
Chamberlin, the actress who brought Lorelei Hills to life.  Buy it

Crystal Chappell is Outstanding Supporting Actress!
Daytime vet (Days of our Lives, One Life to Live) Crystal Chappell
(Olivia) won the 2002 Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Supporting
Actress on Friday, May 17. Crystal had been favored to win for weeks
but, as late as the Wednesday before the ceremony told us at
SoapCity, "Stop saying that! Everyone keeps saying that! The next
person who says that, I'm going to shoot in the head!" (Naturally, we
stopped saying it.) To read what Crystal had to say prior to her win,

Bill Lewis Comes Home!
We saw him born on air to Billy Lewis and Vanessa Chamberlain in
1984, we watched him pal around with best-buds Michelle Bauer and Ben
Reade, and followed his romance with Pilar Santos. Now, Harlan Billy
Lewis III, a.k.a. Bill, is on his way home to Springfield in the form
of actor Daniel Cosgrove. No stranger to soaps, Daniel played Scott
Chandler on All My Children from 1996 to 1998, and Matt Durning on
Beverly Hills, 90210 from 1998 to 2000. By the time we see him
congratulate his uncle Josh on his (third) wedding to Aunt Reva, Bill
will have moved on from Pilar and be ready for a new romance. But the
woman he sets his sights on may truly, truly shock you!
Familiar Faces Coming Home!
What's a wedding without a few long-lost relatives? Well, Josh and
Reva are about to get a house-full! Scheduled to hit Springfield just
in time for the star-crossed couple's third trip down the aisle are
fan favorites Krista Tesreau (Mindy), Terrell Anthony (Rusty), Maeve
Kincaid (Vanessa), Rebecca Hollen (Trish), Gil Rogers (Hawk) and
Morgan Englund (Dylan)!

The New Mike Kasnoff: First Photo!

and Sunset Beach. Look for him to begin airing in early July!
ATWT Writers win second consecutive Emmy!
The ATWT Writing Team, headed by Hogan Sheffer alongside co-head
writers Carolyn Culliton and Jean Passanante, won their second
consecutive Emmy at the 2002 Daytime Emmy Awards on Friday, May 17.
In his acceptance speech, Sheffer got an intentional laugh when he
joked that the trek up to the stage was "the longest I ever walked," -
- and an unintentional one when he accidentally thanked... ABC! The
gaffe was understandable in light of the fact that Sheffer had
recently fielded offers from the Disney-owned network to jump ship,
but in the end, ATWT fans can breathe a sigh of relief. The talented
scribe has resigned with As the World Turns -- no matter whom he
accidentally thanked on Emmy night!
Four Tech Emmys for ATWT!
Kicking off Emmy week in style, As the World Turns won four Emmy
Awards at Saturday, May 11's Creative Craft Emmy Awards, including
Outstanding Achievement in Art Direction/Set Decoration/Scenic Design
for a Drama Series (tied with Y&R), Outstanding Achievement in
Hairstyling for a Drama Series, Outstanding Achievement in Lighting
Direction for a Drama Series and Outstanding Achievement in Makeup
for a Drama Series. (To get some of Kevin Bennett's Emmy winning make-
up tips for yourself, check out the March issue of Katie Magazine.)
Last year, ATWT picked up a wagon-load of technical Emmys on their
way to winning the top prize -- Outstanding Drama Series -- at the
televised awards. Will history repeat itself this year? Make sure to
watch the Friday night, May 17, broadcast to find out!

Welcome Home, C.J.
Mick Cain is reprising the role of C.J. Garrison on The Bold and the
Beautiful. C.J. was born on air to Clarke Garrison (Daniel McVicar)
and Sally Spectra (Darlene Conley) back in 1991. Clarke had married
Sally in order to gain part control of Spectra Fashions, so the
marriage was short-lived. Clarke soon abandoned Sally, and C.J. was
deeply affected by his father's absence during his childhood. C.J.
was very close with Rick Forrester (Justin Torkildsen), until they
became entangled in a love triangle with Amber Moore (Adrienne
Frantz). C.J. left Los Angeles almost two years ago, after losing his
wife Becky to a terminal illness and after his half-sister Macy was
killed in a car accident. Now, C.J. is returning to Los Angeles after
having attended business school. C.J. will explain to his mother
Sally that after experiencing the loss of Becky and Macy so close
together, he needed to get away and spend some time alone. Watch out
for Mick Cain's first airdate on July 1st. Don't forget to check back
here for our exclusive behind-the-scenes coverage of Mick Cain on the
B&B set and for a quick refresher on C.J.'s past! In the meantime,

ARREST THAT WOMAN: Jill is telling GC police officers to arrest
Amanda when Kay comes in - what in the world is going on here!? why
are these officers in my house!? Jill - it's `my' house too - I
called them - my ruby bracelet has been stolen - but `you' know all
about that don't you! - there's the culprit right over there . . as
she points to Amanda. Sean - can't we discuss this - I'm sure we'll
get things straightened out - Amanda wouldn't steal anything from
you, Jill - besides - what proof do you have she did it? Jill -
Amanda was in my room earlier today - that's all the proof I need -
take her away, Officer. O'Brien - this is an on going investigation -
we'll call CSI in here to get evidence - we'll need fingerprints from
all who live here. Jill - Amanda, ready to get your fingers inked?
Esther - I'm in and out of Jill's room all the time! O'Brien - we'll
take that into consideration. Kay - my granddaughter Mac also lives
here - she isn't at home right now. Amanda - does my daughter have to
get involved with this? She's only 18. Officer - we'll check this out
first - we'll deal with the kid later. Jill - I know you're proud of
yourself, Kay - you've brought total chaos to our home. Kay - what on
this green earth are you talking about, Jill? Jill - your conspiracy
to get me out of `my' home has gone too far this time - you got
Amanda to steal that bracelet for you - you're playing mind games
with me - believe me - this won't work either. Kay - I've had enough -
  how dare you accuse me of something this silly . . gives Jill a
shove . . they exchange of few licks . . everyone jumps in to pull
them apart. O'Brien tells them both to cool off or they can do it
downtown. Jill & Kay agree to cooperate - Kay apologies to Amanda - I
know you can't be involved in anything like this. CSI support
arrives - they go upstairs with cops to start collecting evidence -
then report it will take some time to get word back from lab. Jill -
aren't you going to arrest this woman? O'Brien - we are not going to
arrest anyone right now - you are all part of this - no one should
leave town . . so there!
Exhausted Jill goes up to rest after a long look at Sean. Kay - who's
bags are those? Sean - mine. Kay - going on a trip? Sean - nope, I'm
moving out right now. Kay - I'll miss you - but maybe it's for the
best - I won't say anything about your choice of women. Sean -
thanks, Kay - I'll miss all of you too. Kay - you're welcome back
anytime - if we ever need a webmaster at CI - I'll let you know ~hug~
Kay watches from window as Sean goes off into the darkness - then
turns to Amanda - I'm so sorry about this - you look like you need
some rest too. Amanda - thanks for supporting me, Kay - I think I'll
make myself some tea - it will help me sleep. Kay - good night,
Amanda ~hug~ don't worry about Jill . . as she heads upstairs.
Rrriinngg! Rrriinngg! Amanda picks up phone (could someone be
listening on an extension?) - it's Ralph - I've got bad news -
bracelet didn't pay off enough - we've gotta do it again. Amanda - we
can't, Ralph - cops were here - they think I stole Jill's bracelet.
Ralph - don't worry - Old Lady Chancellor will take care of you - I
expect you to be with me on this! Amanda - NO - I can't do it . .
hangs up - holds her head . . GOD! Ralph - Amanda! . . realizes she's
gone - looks at newspaper clipping - Kay has on a diamond
necklace . . you have what I want Old Lady - I'm going to get it one
way or another!

GIVE ME FIVE MINUTES MORE: At CL - Nick is still trying to get Sharon
to help him keep Diego from leaving - his brother is having problems -
  Diego should stick around at least till he graduates - besides that -
  he's a nice guy and we owe him big time for helping us get back
together. Sharon - no, Nick - we should stay out of it - he's an
adult - you're treating him like your dad treats you - he should be
free to decide what he wants to do. Diego comes over. Nick - we were
just talking about you - to be honest with you - we don't want you to
leave just now - you do a good job here and the ranch - AND - your
brother needs you. Diego - that's teenage stuff with Raul - he'll get
over it - it's time for me to move on. Nick - have you got a job
lined up yet? Diego - no, but I'll land on my feet. Nick - you could
stay at least till the end of the month - it will give you a chance
to find something & you'll be here for Raul's graduation - don't you
agree, Sharon? Sharon - yes I do - you can leave at the of the month
for sure. Diego looks at Sharon - well, OK then - I'll stay until the
end of the month. Nick - we're happy and Cassie will be too.
Vikki pops in - what's up? Nick - Diego just agreed to stay around
awhile. Diego - excuse me - I need to get back to work. Vikki -
Sharon, did you go along with this? Nick - come on, Honey - we need
to go. Sharon - yeah sure, Nick - I'm coming. Vikki makes a beeline
for Diego - I want to talk to you - why are you really staying
around? Diego - I have work to do - if you want information - talk to
your brother. Vikki - believe me I will - I'm going to find out
what's going on with you - one way or another . . storms out. Diego
looks concerned - `My Love is gone' on jukebox.
**Back at ranch - Nick & Sharon are opening takeout from Gina's.
Nick - that was a great idea, Sweetheart - we can do things here we
couldn't do in public ~kiss~ you should be thanking me - I saved you
from my sister. Sharon - what do you mean? . . gets up for some
water. Nick - I know what's up - my sister got to you didn't she -
that girl talk in my office. Sharon - did you hear us talking? Nick -
no, but I know my sister - she means well - but she wants Diego gone
for some reason - she asked you to help make that happen - Diego is a
nice guy - I'm glad he's staying around.

RIGHT THING?: At B&W Law - an article in Genoa City Chronicle catches
Bug's eye - she is reading it when Chantal comes in with files Bug
requested. Michael blows in - hello Ladies. Chantal - you're in a
good mood. Michael - I am - we won! - and what's even better our
client got damages - this calls for a celebrating . . shows them
champagne bottle . . Chantal, will you please get the glasses. Bug -
don't mean `we' - you did it. Michael - no `we' did - I used your
suggestions in my closing - that's what won the case - you have no
idea how much to means to having you back working with me again.
Michael pours wine - gives one to Bug - another to Chantal - takes
one himself - to us! Michael - I know you, Bug - what is it? Bug -
take a look at this - near the bottom of the page. Michael - so
they're married - how about that! - let's go out to dinner again - I
don't want brooding about Paul. Bug - now I know I did the right
thing by sending Paul to Izzy - they'll work things out one way or
another - I won't be brooding, Michael - Paul belongs with his wife &
child- but if you don't mind - I'd like to be alone tonight - I'm
worn out. Michael - sure - no problem - we can have dinner another
time - good night.
**At Paul's - did RC get enough to eat? Izzy - yes, he did - he has a
huge appetite. Paul - just like his dad - what? Izzy - I was thinking
about our wedding - I'm glad your mom came. Paul - and she managed to
stay - I didn't think she'd make it - you know what they say -
grandma's make good baby sitters - as long a my mom doesn't try to
tell us how to raise RC it will be fine - but you know my mom. Izzy -
I'm sure she'll make suggestions - I think we can deal with that -
we're married! ~kiss~ you may thinks this is silly - we don't have a
wedding picture. Paul - it's not silly at all - I can take care of
it. He sets up a camera - puts it on automatic - picks up RC - here -
you hold him - sits down with them - now smile! Paul puts RC back in
bassinet for nap - goes back to sofa with Izzy ~kiss~ . . Izzy
transforms into Bug in his mind - he hears Bug saying how happy she
is to have a child - you were right, Paul - having a child makes life
worth living . . when he comes back to real time he's ~kissing~ Izzy.
Izzy - I'm sorry, Paul - did I disturb you - you seemed to doze off
for a moment. Paul I'm fine. Izzy smiles - we're really married - I
couldn't be happier. Paul sighs (did he really do the right thing?)

RIGHT THING T00?: Ramona remembers something Diane Jenkins told her -
now that Victor is available again - she determined to not let
opportunity pass . . excuse me - I'd like to freshen up . . she comes
back in a black teddy - Victor is sorely tempted - but he is
determined to do the right thing . . I must tell you - I'm
considering a relationship with someone. Ramona - is it someone new?
Victor - no. Ramona - I see - it's Nikki isn't it - you have children
together - you two should be together - she's your one true love.
Victor - I'm sorry - I hope you'll forgive me. Ramona - how could I
NOT forgive you ~hug~
** Back in Genoa City - Nikki is turning the bums out - I'm calling
security - picks up phone - I don't believe anything you said about
Victor - this picture could have been taken any old time . . drops it
in the wastebasket. Leanna - OK OK - I'll go - but I'm telling you -
Victor is in New Mexico with Ramona as we speak - we both know how he
operates - I don't trust him any more than you do - you'll find out
I'm telling the truth - one way or another - Mr Hollister - I'm
expecting you to come through for me - I mean it . . as she leaves.
Hollister hangs around for a moment - I'm sorry about what this has
done to you - Victor is my target - I'm pretty sure Ms Love's
information is correct. Nikki takes his words to heart - she calls

Simon, a writer and actress (Dr. Michaels) on GL's sister soap, As

Life -- Post B&B -- Can Be Murder
Agnes Bruckner (ex-Bridget, B&B) has landed some very impressive
roles since playing the role of a young Bridget Forrester. This year
she starred in the indie film Blue Car, about a troubled young woman
who is encouraged by a teacher to enter a poetry contest. The film
was screened at the Sundance Film festival and helped launch Agnes
into her latest, more high profile role. She is currently co-starring
in the Sandra Bullock thriller, Murder By Numbers, about two highly
intelligent high school students who commit a succession of "perfect"
murders. They then engage in a battle of wits with a homicide
detective (Sandra Bullock), who tries to solve the mysterious crimes.
Agnes appears to be making more interesting choices in her career
than many of her teenage peers. "It was just something real and
something honest and something that, you know, I can really feel good
after a good hard day of work. I can be like wow, OK, I really did
good today," she told the Associated Press. Murder By Numbers is
currently screening nationwide at selected cinemas.

B&B previews:

	 The Bold & the Beautiful Brooke feels Stephanie's wrath.
Deacon faces many obstacles. Erica fantasizes about a new life. Amber
embarasses herself. Bridget plans a party.

#7380 Director Sally McDonald Air date 5/14/02

BACK FROM THE BRINK: At Memorial - Izzy is still in a coma - Paul
keeps a steady stream of words going - tells Izzy about their
beautiful baby boy who can¡¦t get along without his mother - come on,
Sweetheart - wake up! Dr Thompson comes in to check on Izzy - the
good news is that her vital signs are stable - I¡¦ll be back to check
on her. Nurse rolls in baby - ready to meet his mommy - she¡¦s stunned
to see Izzy in coma - I¡¦m sorry - I¡¦ll bring him back later. Paul -
no - please leave him right here. Paul goes on to introduce beautiful
baby boy to this mother by describing him for Izzy - ten little
perfect fingers are no bigger than my thumbnail - ten perfect little
toes - he¡¦s just perfect - I know you can hear me, Sweetheart - he¡¦s
a big baby - 7# 4 oz - he¡¦s got soft downy hair - his little eyes are
closed too - please open your eyes, Sweetheart - so you can see our
baby. Izzy reaches over to touch Paul¡¦s hand - then opens her eyes.
Paul - thank God you¡¦re back - everything is going to be all right!
**Over at Gina¡¦s - Kay & Bug stop for something to eat after leaving
hospital - it¡¦s been a long hard day - they left knowing that Izzy
had a stroke but not much more - Kay doesn¡¦t want to be callous - but
she doesn¡¦t think this will change what happened between Bug & Paul.
Bug is annoyed - this is not something we should be talking about
now. Gina comes over to greet Bug - I¡¦m writing to Danny - I¡¦ll tell
him I saw you - now that you¡¦re back - you should stay. Kay - amen to
that. Kay¡¦s cell rings - it Paul reporting Izzy came out of coma -
she¡¦s having another CAT to make sure things are OK - thanks for
coming by hospital. Kay - we were glad to do it. Paul - we? Kay hands
phone to Bug - I was at the hospital with Kay - I¡¦m thankful the
crisis with Izzy is over . . gives Kay the phone . . it¡¦s Kay, Paul -
our prayers are with you. Paul - thanks again for being here for me.
**With Izzy back after CAT - Paul picks up baby - shows him to Izzy.
Izzy - his fingers are as small as your thumbnail. Paul - how did you
know that I said that - could you hear me? Izzy - I must have - I can
remember it - you and our baby brought me back.

PLEASURE ISLAND: Nick wakens Sharon with a ~kiss~ Sharon - I must
have drifted off - how long have I been sleeping? Nick - it doesn¡¦t
matter - we have all the time in the world - if you thought this
place is amazing in the daytime - let me show it to you now - look at
that moon - there¡¦s a shooting star. Sharon - the sky is so huge -
I¡¦ve never seen anything this beautiful in my whole life. Nick - I
have - everyday I¡¦m with you ~kiss~ They sit down in lounge chairs to
look at the sky - it seems so right - they don¡¦t even have to talk to
enjoy it. Sharon - maybe it will rub off on the rest of the family
too - especially Vikki. Nick points out Vikki has been through a lot -
  worried about them and Mom & Dad as well - in spite of her own
problems. Sharon doesn¡¦t understand the concern about Victor & Nikki.
Nick explains that Vikki found an engagement ring - doesn¡¦t
understand why her dad didn¡¦t give it to her mom - it¡¦s sort of a
mystery - Nick then declares no more talk about anyone who is not on
this island - Sharon seconds it - she wants to check out starry night
with a swim - cool with Nick - but he wants something else to happen
first ~kiss/kiss~
**Meantime back at Newman ranch - Nikki has tucked in Noah - he went
out like a light - now has questions for Victor - the other night
when we had such a lovely dinner together - I couldn¡¦t tell if you
were thinking about our past together or our future - I had a feeling
you were planning something - but it didn¡¦t happen - are you still
going on that mystery trip? Victor - it¡¦s still in the works - but he
doesn¡¦t want to talk about it - admits it¡¦s not business related -
don¡¦t worry about something you can¡¦t control. Nikki - does that mean
it has something to do with our future together?

CURTAIN FALLS: In dressing room at Walnut Grove - Shark wants to take
Mandy to get checked out at hospital - you went out like a light in
my arms. Amanda - no, I¡¦m fine - I just forgot to eat - jitters about
the show I guess. Shark - you¡¦re not in the show - things are going
just fine - stop worrying - Mac said you were a nervous wreck - if
you need to talk - I¡¦m here. Erica - here you are Amanda - Colleen
lost a button - she needs your help. Amanda - I¡¦ve got to go - see
you later - BTW - please don¡¦t mention this to Mac. Mac - so how¡¦s
Mom doing, Larry? Shark - she seems nervous just like you said - it
just can¡¦t be the play - I wish she¡¦d talk to me. Mac - sorry I¡¦ve
got to go.
Billy stops Mac - I want to talk to you about Danielle. Mac - why
bother - what you do is your business - sorry I¡¦m busy. Raul is off
stage for a couple of scenes - looks like you and Mac are doing
better. Billy - I need some air - come out with me to the park - Mac
& I are doing better - but she wouldn¡¦t listen to me about Danielle -
she has it all wrong - nothing happened. Raul - make her listen,
Billy - especially now that things are better - I¡¦ve got to get back -
  the show must go on you know.
Hidden Ralph has been listening - well what do you know - Mac is
growing up! Billy takes Raul¡¦s advice - talks to Mac in dressing
room - Danielle & I didn¡¦t have sex - I took her to our place - but I
kept thinking about you - now she wants to use that to get a summer
job - it¡¦s not going to happen, Mac - you do believe me don¡¦t you?
Mac - yes I do. Billy - does that mean we can be friends again - at
least till we graduate. Mac nods - I¡¦m for that.
They are in the wings when play ends - cast members take bows -
applause . . applause. Erica has roses for Britt from her parents -
she stays in costume hoping they¡¦ll come to take pictures. Diego
comes backstage to congratulate his brother - I had no idea you¡¦d be
the star. Diego goes off to check out the food. Britt is hurt &
disturbed that her folks haven¡¦t shown up. Raul - you were amazing -
it won¡¦t stop here - you¡¦ll be the next Gwyneth Palthrow - your folks
probably didn¡¦t know they were supposed to come backstage - we¡¦ll
stop by your house on our way to the lake ~kiss~
Shark pitches in to help take down flats and put stuff away - then
helps Amanda with the food & sodas. Mac agrees to go for walk with
Billy - I¡¦m going to stop by my locker for a sweater - I¡¦ll meet you
in the park. Billy thanks Raul for pushing him about Mac. Raul -
things must be looking good if you¡¦ve got two sodas. Billy smiles.
Amanda hears stage phone ring - answers it - Ralph tells her he is
still at the park - I saw the crowd leaving - the plays over - I want
to talk to you now. Frantic Amanda - you have to get out of there -
Mac is headed to the park - she can¡¦t see you. Ralph - OK OK - meet
at the Lake Motel - room 236 - and you¡¦d better show up! The horror!
The horror! Stunned Mac hears it all.

cleared the air the last time we talked. Alex - we did - it's just
that we haven't talked for a while - I'm not wasting anymore time
blaming anyone for what happened to Malcolm - including myself - I
certainly appreciate the support from Olivia and Nate - time with that
sweet little boy has really been good for me. Neil suggests that they
all do something together - like eating out at Gina's. Alex thinks
that making Nate's favorite meal might be good - no - it would remind
him of Malcolm. Neil suggests a Cub's game. Alex - Nate did that with
his father. Neil - Alex, you suggest something. When Alex can't - she
realizes it's time for her to leave Genoa City.

TOO LITTLE - TOO LATE?: Paul is putting on his last clean shirt when
Lynne comes in to tell him Izzy called - she asked if you were back
from your business trip - I told her you were - I hope that's OK -
looks like you're short of clothes - want me to go by Izzy's and get
you some - or is that a message you don't want to send just yet? Knock
- may I come in? Paul - hi, Katherine - good to see you. Kay - Lynne
told me you'd be back - I hope you don't mind that I just stopped by -
I have some news - I wanted to tell you in person - how's it going
with Izzy? the baby must be due soon. Paul - I don't know - she kicked
me out when I wouldn't say I'd marry her - I haven't talked to her for
about a week. Paul isn't sure why he didn't want to marry Izzy - knows
he doesn't like being pressured. Kay gives him the news about Bug
being back - then goes on to say Paul may still have feelings for her.
**At that very moment - Izzy walks into Gina's - has a bit of headache
- thinks she'll be fine after she eats - bumps into Dr Thompson (did
you see ANITA FINLAY on HBO's Six Feet Under last night?) - may I join
you? Dr T - of course - please sit down. Gina - I'll send over the
waiter. Dr T - it looks like tomorrow will be the last time I see you
before the baby comes - it must be an exciting time for you & Paul.
Izzy - I don't know about Paul - I gave him an ultimatum - marry me or
move out - it backfired big time. Dr T helps Izzy see that having Paul
there when the baby is born should be her major concern. Izzy - I hope
it's not too late. Izzy - Gina, I've changed my mind about eating now
- I want to cook Paul a special dinner - it's sort of a homecoming -
may I see the dessert menu?
Chantal blows in - hi you two - I have some good news. Gina - Alex is
back - I know how difficult being shorthanded can be. Chantal - it's
more than that - Bug is back! Izzy's mouth drops open.
**Paul comes into his apartment - puts his brief case down - looks at
picture of Bug - hears a noise - takes out his gun - clicks off the
safety - starts looking around with gun ready to shoot intruder - door
suddenly opens - Paul's arm goes down - it's Bug - she's just coming
out of the shower - OH MY GOD!

ATWT Welcomes Jessica Dunphy

Jessica Dunphy joined the cast of ATWT on Thursday, April 26, 2002 in

web of lust and betrayal as Alison attempts to gain the affections of
sexy Aaron Snyder (Agim Kaba), despite the fact that he has eyes on
Oakdale's sweetheart, Lucy Montgomery (Peyton List).
"Alison Stewart is the quintessential, conniving teenage girl who goes
to extremes in order to get attention," said Executive Producer Chris
Goutman. "Jessica knows how to play a character that audiences will
love to hate."
No stranger to a fictional world of corruption and back stabbing, this
native of Glenside, PA has appeared on HBO's hit series, "The
Sopranos," and ABC's "All My Children." Her movie credits include
"Storytelling," and "If Freud Had a Video Camera." Besides performing

Rumors Have Cole Making Exit
Posted Sunday, May 05, 2002 7:27:21 PM

Though a show spokesperson declined to comment on the rumors, there is
ongoing chatter that Bradley Cole (Richard Winslow) will be exiting
Guiding Light when his contract expires later this year.

The talk of Cole's departure first emerged late last year. According
to sources, Cole had expressed a desire to leave the show. However,
other accounts had the writing staff wrapping of Cole's storyline and
ditching the character.

Cole joined Guiding Light in June 1999. He quickly became a fan
favorite and earned a nomination for the Soap Opera Central Award for
Outstanding Lead Actor earlier this year.
Sheffer Will Remain ATWT Head Writer
Posted Sunday, April 28, 2002 9:19:45 PM

Celebrated As The World Turns head writer Hogan Sheffer will be
sticking around for some time to come.

Though terms of the deal were not announced, ATWT sources have told
Soap Opera Central that Sheffer has signed a new contract with the
show.

Sheffer joined As The World Turns in June 2000. Within a year, Sheffer
had turned the show around and ATWT garnered 25 Daytime Emmy
nominations. Sheffer and his team of writers were rewarded with an
Emmy for Outstanding Writing Team in last year's ceremony.

Prior to joining ATWT, Sheffer had had no previous experience in
daytime television. His previous work credits included a stint at
Dreamworks SKG where, for three years, he served as Director of
Screenplay Development.
Y&R's Serena Cast; She's Not a New Drucilla
Posted Sunday, May 05, 2002 10:08:52 PM

Gretchen Palmer has been cast in the role of Serena on The Young and
the Restless. For Palmer, an accomplished actress in both film and
television, the role will mark her first venture into daytime
television.

Palmer appeared in the UPN series "Homeboys In Outer Space" as well as
the film "I Got The Hook Up." Other credits include appearances on The
Hughleys, The Wayans Bros., and 21 Jump Street.

There has been some initial speculation that "Serena" might be a
covert attempt to recast the role of Drucilla, vacated by Victoria
Rowell in 2000. Those rumors were quickly quashed by insiders and the
show insists that Serena is a brand new character.

The casting of a female African American character comes at a time
when the show has lost several key Black performers. Shemar Moore (ex
Malcolm Winters) exited Y&R earlier this year and Alexia Robinson
(Alex Perez) will exit later this spring. Tonya Lee Williams (Olivia
Winters) remains in contract negotiations.

Palmer makes her Y&R debut on June 3rd.

DOLENZ DOES DAYTIME
It pays to have friends in the business. When As the World Turns
wanted a well-known name to preside over an upcoming wedding, Peter
Noone (Paddington) suggested his good friend, teen idol-turned
TV-producer Micky Dolenz. "He was the best man for the job," exclaims
Noone. Dolenz, a member of the sixties TV musical quartet the Monkees,
agreed to take on the role, as long as he didn't have to play himself.
"I turn them down," says Dolenz of self-appearances. "I told [ATWT]
from day one, 'Please, no Monkees references, because then it becomes
a sketch... and this show is grounded in some kind of reality.'"
To play the English vicar, Dolenz, a Los Angeles native, has adopted a
British accent. "There are some very exotic and eccentric characters
in the different parts of England," he shares. "It's a composite a
bunch of people that I've met there." Dolenz is keeping mum on whether
the couple he is set to marry actually makes it through the ceremony.
"I ain't going to tell ya," he declares in his stage persona's voice.
"Maybe I'm the one that marries... and Peter is my son!"
Dolenz is already familiar with the daytime format. His daughter, Ami,
starred on General Hospital. "I've always been fascinated at the speed
at which they produce [daytime]," shares Dolenz, who has directed live
sitcoms in England. The ATWT crew seems fascinated by Dolenz; he's
been signing a lot of autographs. "Maybe they'll create a role for the
vicar," he suggests with a chuckle, "with all the marriages that
happen on a soap."
Dolenz premieres on May 31.
Y&R NEWEST PLAYER
Gretchen Palmer has joined the cast of The Young and the Restless as
Serena, a feisty bartender. "I feel like I've won the lottery," says
the gleeful daytime newcomer. Describing her newest alter ego as a
woman who won't let anyone get at her, Serena comes head to head with
Neil Winters, played by Y&R vet, Kristoff St. John. "He intrigues me
because we have conflict with one another," Palmer previews.
Palmer's extensive list of credits includes the films Fast Forward and
When Harry Met Sally; prime-time appearances on 21 Jump Street, A
Different World and Baywatch; and a stint on the Showtime soap-like
series Bedtime. "We did 15 pages in a day, so it kind of prepared me
for the rapidness of the soap world," Palmer says. She's already shot
several episodes of Y&R. "I thought I would have a week or two before
we started, but I landed it on a Friday and was working three days
later. I'm the new kid on the block, and they are such a wonderful
family."
Look for Palmer to debut on May 15.
B&B writer Jack Smith returns to his roots at The Young and the
Restless. He'll share co-writing duties with the show's current head
writer, Kay Alden. Look for fan faves Gladis Jimenez and Alexis Thorpe
to reprise their roles of Ramona and Rianna on Y&R this summer.

the date that we expect him back in Springfield. Ed's tear-jerking
return to his hometown (interrupting a life-altering family moment)
will actually be a major surprise -- as will the person who finally
brings him home! Besides son Rick and daughter Michelle, Ed has an
ex-wife, Holly and an ex-lover, Lillian, on the canvas. Will he find
himself drawn to either one of them? Or will another woman catch his
eye? And why has the good doctor stayed away all these years? Tune in
and find out! Peter Simon is married to Courtney Simon, a writer and
actress (Dr. Michaels) on GL's sister soap, As the World Turns. The
couple met while co-starring on the now defunct Search for Tomorrow.

Life -- Post B&B -- Can Be Murder
Agnes Bruckner (ex-Bridget, B&B) has landed some very impressive roles
since playing the role of a young Bridget Forrester. This year she
starred in the indie film Blue Car, about a troubled young woman who
is encouraged by a teacher to enter a poetry contest. The film was
screened at the Sundance Film festival and helped launch Agnes into
her latest, more high profile role. She is currently co-starring in
the Sandra Bullock thriller, Murder By Numbers, about two highly
intelligent high school students who commit a succession of "perfect"
murders. They then engage in a battle of wits with a homicide
detective (Sandra Bullock), who tries to solve the mysterious crimes.
Agnes appears to be making more interesting choices in her career than
many of her teenage peers. "It was just something real and something
honest and something that, you know, I can really feel good after a
good hard day of work. I can be like wow, OK, I really did good
today," she told the Associated Press. Murder By Numbers is currently
screening nationwide at selected cinemas.

Zende's friends at school tease him about his new crush. Whip and
Deacon struggle for control. Stephanie wonders what's really
motivating Brooke. Tony must keep a secret from his wife.

UNEASY CALM BEFORE THE STORM: Victor's presence in courtroom has
everyone on edge. He walks over Jack - may I speak to you alone for a
minute? As Jack gets up to follow Victor out - Diane panics - if
Victor testifies for Jack it will devastate my case. Michael - get a
grip, Diane - nothing has happened yet. Sydney - calm down - no matter
what Mr Newman does - we have a strategy - this case is far from over
- you're first up - focus on what you're going to say.
In conference room - Victor tells Jack that after listening to both
him & Diane - he has decided to remain neutral - I'm not going to
testify for you. Jack - I should have known better than to think you'd
help me - you know what kind of a person Diane is - she can't be
trusted. Victor - that's not what this is about - from what I
understand she's been a good mother to that child - and you will have
a role in his life. Before they come to blows - Ash rushes in to tell
Jack he is needed in courtroom - now, Jack! Ash & Victor exchange
looks. Victor - I'm sorry about your brother - but taking that child
from his mother could ruin his life. Ash - I've been worried about
this since day one - I love my brother - but I wonder what this will
do to his life and his marriage - nothing will ever be the same again.
John has Diane on witness stand when Jack walks back in - John gives
him a look - Jack shakes his head. John's questions pull out negatives
from Diane - she's been a nomad since getting her architectural degree
in LA - had no personal friends in Milan when she went to live there -
was run out of town by Victor Newman after she used his sperm to
impregnate herself without his approval - her retired parents in
Florida don't know about her child even though she named the baby
after her father - and she made no attempt to find out who fathered
her child before she left town. Sydney's questions give Diane a chance
to tell her version of what happened - she has a more than adequate
explanation for what she did - admits to faults - points out that
having Kyle changed her life - that he's a happy, healthy child -
living a good life in a place where she is respected as a person -
pleads with judge to not take her baby away - it would be wrong - just
plain wrong.
Judge calls a brief break. Michael catches Phyllis in hall - she
thinks it looks like Diane will win - no need to go through with what
they had planned. In courtroom - Jack is still fuming about Victor to
John & Ash. John - you're up next, Jack - forget about Victor - your
testimony will be crucial to winning this case - you can do it - but
only if you pull yourself together.

SHARK MOUTHS OFF: Shark can see that what he said to Ms Abbott about
men's line ad campaign was not a hit - starts to leave to get back to
his job. Jill - whoa, Mr Warton - I don't know why I should listen to
anything you have to say. Shark - because I'm a janitor? Jill - that's
not it - you just don't know anything about this business - but I'm
open to various opinions - if this model isn't right for our ads -
please show me one that is more to your liking - go ahead, Mr Warton -
or do I have to say 'pretty please'? Shark grudgingly takes the book -
he doesn't find anyone - a real guy wants to see a real guy. Jill -
our ads open a window for our customers - it shows them what they want
to be like. Shark - maybe it should be a mirror - a real guy wants to
see himself - watching a game on TV - playing pool - shooting hoops -
twisting a wrench. Jill - that may be OK for beer - but we're selling
upscale products to upscale customers - Mr Warton, have you even tried
anything we sell or are you one of the teeming millions out there who
'could' be our customers? Shark has - apparently not impressed - needs
to get back to work. Jill - just one more question - does Jabot make
anything you like? Shark - remember dancing the other night at Gina's
- that perfume you were wearing made you smell real nice. Jill looks
dumbfounded as Shark flees.

Shemar Moore says goodbye to The Young and the Restless

Friday, January 11, 2002, Shemar Moore said goodbye to The Young and
the
Restless Moore, who joined the show in 1994, played the sexy womanizer
Malcolm Winters, brother of Neil Winters, a corporate stiff played by
Kristoff St. John. "You have been a tremendous asset to the show" said
Executive Producer David Shaughnessy, "and you're going to be sorely
missed."

It was a very emotional and tearful parting for Moore. He reflected on
what
he was supposed to do in life. "I was supposed to be a baseball
player," he
started, and immediately got choked up," that's all I knew how to do,
was
how to play baseball. Anybody who really knows me and knows my past,
they'll joke that Shemar could never really hold down a real job."
Let's
just say he proved them all wrong!

Shemar won an Emmy Award for Outstanding supporting Actor in a Daytime
Drama and four NAACP Awards for Outstanding Actor in a Drama Series.
Look
for Moore to win more (pun intended) Awards in the near future as he
tackles feature film, and theatre.

Congratulations to David Lago and Alexis Thorpe

On December 23, 2001, David Lago (Raul Guttierez) and Alexis Thorpe
(Rianna
Miner) were engaged. They've set a date and are keeping it secret for
now.
They are really happy and have already moved in together. We want to
wish
them well in their future together.

Scott Reeves Lands a Feature Film Role

Look for Scott Reeves in the near future to star in the independent
feature
film Waiting to Live. Though we don't have many details yet, we know
it
also stars Lee Majors. Remember him from The Six Million Dollar Man?
As the
details come in we will bring them to you!

Ashley Bashioum Moves On

The Young and the Restless will be recasting the role of Mackenzie
Browning
portrayed by actress Ashley Bashioum. Per the show at press time, "it
was
Ashley's decision to leave Y&R to pursue other acting opportunities
and
explore college. It was definitely not the show's decision, nor its
choice
to lose Ashley. We wish her well with her future endeavors." We too
want to
wish Ashley well, as it was a great three years watching her as Mac!

SHOCKING COMINGS AND GOINGS…ASHLEY BASHIOUM & ALEXIS THORPE OFF Y&R

In a surprising move, Ashley Bashoium—one half of Genoa City's premier
teen couple, Mac and Billy—has announced she's leaving Y&R.

"I've had to pass up a lot of opportunities by being on the show, so I
decided I didn't want to pass up any more," confides Bashioum, who
joined Y&R in 1999. "I'm going to go to college, then probably medical
school. I'm not going to stop auditioning. But a priority for me is
family and school. I don't think it's healthy to have acting as a
priority. That's just for me. I need to have other things on the side
that I'm also proud of."

At press time, Y&R was scrambling to recast Mac; Bashioum's last
airdate is Feb.

In light of the departure of Y&R's Ashley Bashioum (Mackenzie) sources
indicate that the powers-that-be are this close to naming a Mac
recast. Insiders are whispering that the producers are on the hunt for
a fresh, new face.

Also, insiders report that Bashioum's decision came as a shock to the
cast. "I was surprised to hear it," admits co-star David Lago (Raul).
"I have mixed emotions. I'm sad that she's leaving, but at the same
time, I'm happy for her. She definitely created that character."

"I think it was a bit of a shock to [Head Writer] Kay Alden," Cooper
adds. "When Ashley started out, she had a lot to learn. She was
willing to take criticism and try things. Kay adored her and really
fostered her, so I think she's just as saddened as I am. At this
moment, if she changed her mind tomorrow, Kay would jump with glee. So
would I."

"She's at a great age to explore her options," explains Alexis Thorpe
(Rianna). "I'm so proud of her for making such a bold decision and for
following through with it."

Thorpe, too, will be exiting this month. "It's going to be, like, two
days before Ashley leaves, so I beat her out," laughs Thorpe. "She not
the first one to go. It's sad, though, because so many people are
bolting at the same time. But I think it's going to be good for
everybody."

The actress, who made it known that she wanted to pursue other
projects, was recently bumped to recurring status. Her last air date
is February 14, the same day as the also-departing Shemar Moore
(Malcolm). "I like the way they're doing it," says Thorpe of Rianna's
exit. "She's graduating early and going to Spain as part of an
exchange program. As for me, I'm excited. I think it's a wonderful
opportunity because so many things are starting to happen for me
career-wise. (SOD & SOW)

CASTING UPDATE

Ashley Bashioum has quit to pursue other projects and go back to
school. She will be replaced by Kelly Kruger.


Ming Ho is a realtor and Pamella D'Pella is Julia... Asleigh Olden

THE NEWS (SOW)

MICHAEL DAMIAN SETS THE RECORD STRAIGHT

Michael Damian's ears must have been burning (not popping) when he
landed back in the United States on Dec. 11. Everyone was buzzing
about his returning to Y&R.

"It's pretty funny," Damian says. "I got here from France (where he's
been living with his wife, Janeen) for the holidays and was blitzed
with all these phone calls—everyone's talking about me returning to
the show. The reality of it is, I had one basic, informal conversation
[with Y&R] when I was in France, and that's it. I haven't negotiated
anything."

Yet, Damian admits he'd love to return to Genoa City. When he left the
show in 1998, head writer Kay Alden was vocal about wanting Danny to
remain a part of the canvas. In fact, she reportedly butted heads with
creator/senior executive producer Bill Bell over it.

"Bill's feeling was that we had come to an end of the era with Danny,"
Alden told Soap Opera Weekly at the time. "I just wanted to play a
bridge, a transition story, to see if we found new directions for the
character or if it was indeed time to move on."

"Kay's been great," praises Damian. "We've had a great relationship.
She's been a big supporter, and I've been a big fan of her writing.
Talk about a hard worker! My God, she's totally committed to the
show."

Damian remains committed to music—he's currently cutting a new
album—as well as a pilot he shot in France. "It's an action thriller
called Red Eye," which he stars in, and co-produced and co-wrote with
his wife. "We're now hitting the U.S. broadcasters for the sale of the
show." It's about an American who ends up in Paris working with the
French Secret Service, and he's a master at the art of decoding. He
used to work with the CIA and has this special visual ability called
high-contrast vision. The show is very high-energy, very edgy. It's
kind of like Mission: Impossible/Alias.

"I'm just here pursuing all my options," he adds enthusiastically. "If
something comes up with Y&R and it times out perfectly, hey, I'm open
to it."
 
Dishing the Dirt: Thad Luckinbill

PC's Brian Presley (Jack) dishes the dirt on Y&R's Thad Luckinbill
(J.T.)


Life With Brian
When Digest profiled Brian Presley (Jack, PC) in the July 24 issue, we
asked Thad Luckinbill to dish the dirt on his real-life roomie. Here,
we returned the favor This is what Presley has to say...  "We knew
each other from Oklahoma," Presley explains. "He's one of my best
friends. He's one of those guys you definitely put in your inner
circle. I didn't have a clue we'd both end up in daytime shows with
the same time slots. There we were at the Emmys earlier this year,
hanging outside Radio City Music Hall, going, 'Who would have
thought?'" So, which one is Felix and which is Oscar? Presley laughs,
"We're both not neat freaks, but we like a nice place. Some people you
can be great friends with, but you can't live with them. We've never
had a problem since we've lived together. He's really like a brother."

New Mackenzie Named
Posted Friday, January 18, 2002 11:30:05 PM

As reported last week, Ashley Bashioum (Mackenzie Browning) will be
leaving The Young and the Restless next month.

While there are two conflicting reports as to why the actress is
leaving the show, Bashioum's successor has now been named.

A setside source told Soap Opera Central earlier this month that
Bashioum and show executives were unable to come to terms on a new
contract.

A second report, however, claims that the decision to leave the show
was solely that of Bashioum. As Bashioum has gotten older - the
actress just turned 18 in December - she has apparently questioned
whether or not she wants acting as a full-time career. Bashioum would
like to pursue a career in medicine and obviously a full-time gig on a
soap opera would make schooling extremely difficult. It is said,
however, that Bashioum would not mind working on a primetime project
or film project that would only require a short-term commitment.
Bashioum's interest in medicine runs in her genes; her father is a
plastic surgeon.

The setside source interviewed by Soap Opera Central hints that both
scenarios could be true -- Bashioum might have asked for more time off
from the show, time that the show was unable to give the actress.

In the meantime, Kelly Kruger has landed the part of the to-be-recast
Mackenzie. Kruger is a veteran of the MTV series "Undressed."

No first airdate for Kruger has been announced. Bashioum makes her
final on-air appearance on February 15th. From Soap Opera Central.
 
Miner Change of Plans:
Thorpe To Leave Y&R
Posted Friday, January 18, 2002 11:27:32 PM

February will be a busy time at the Genoa City airport. In addition to
the previously announced departures [See the RELATED INFO section at
the conclusion of this article] of Ashley Bashioum (Mackenzie
Browning) and Shemar Moore (Malcolm Winters), the show will also be
losing another key player: Alexis Thorpe (Rianna Miner).

Thorpe has announced that she intends to leave the show to pursue
other projects. Late last year, Thorpe was bumped to recurring status.
She joined the show in October 2000.

The role of Rianna will not be recast. According to Thorpe, "Rianna
will leave for Spain as part of an exchange student program."

Thorpe makes her final on-air appearance on February 14th, the same
day that Moore makes his exit. According to a show spokesperson, there
are no immediate plans to recast the role. However, the show has not
ruled out a possible return down the road if necessary. From Soap
Opera Central.

Guiding Light Celebrates Its 65thYear
Guiding Light, the longest-running daily program in broadcast history,
marks its 65th year when the daytime drama airs its 16,293rd episode
on January 25, 2002. Known as The Guiding Light when the
fifteen-minute series premiered on radio in 1937, the show will also
celebrate its 50th anniversary on television on June 30, 2002. Created
by Irna Phillips, Guiding Light was -- and continues to be -- produced
by Procter & Gamble Productions, the company who put the "soap" in
soap opera.
Over the past six decades, Guiding Light has led its counterparts in
daytime and prime-time dramas in exploring a range of topical and
timeless issues. Beginning in 1962, the series tackled its -- and
daytime's -- first social issue-driven storyline: the early detection
of Bert Bauer's uterine cancer via a Pap smear. Since then, subjects
addressed have ranged from organ transplant to Down's syndrome,
substance abuse to domestic violence, birth control to adoption, and
leukemia to cochlear implants. Of course, love, romance, family and
community have always been at the core of the program.
The program has been the recipient of 54 Daytime Emmy Awards as well
as numerous other industry accolades. Guiding Light is also the only
daytime program inducted into the Soap Opera Hall of Fame. From

Ramsey Out As Sam
Posted Wednesday, January 09, 2002 1:33:31 PM

There are unconfirmed reports that Wesley A. Ramsey (Sam Spencer) has
been released from his contract with Guiding Light.

According to a source within the show, Ramsey was informed that he is
being released from his contract. The same source hints that Ramset
was first tipped off to his impending release before Christmas. At the
time, Soap Opera Central attempted to contact a show spokesperson for
comment on the report, but due to the holiday the show was on break
and no comment could be obtained.

The GL source reveals that several of Ramsey's cast mates also heard
the rumors that he was being let go and that several were very unhappy
the Ramsey had been kept hanging for so long.

A Julliard graduate, Wesley joined Guiding Light on September 13th,
2000. He is expected to make his final on-screen appearances during
the February Sweeps period.

A GL spokesperson declined to comment on the details of Ramsey's
release. Therefore, the show had no announcement about whether the
role would or would not be recast. From Soap Opera Central.
Pratt To Be Taken Off Contract
Posted Friday, January 18, 2002 10:31:30 PM

According to setside sources, Susan Pratt's (Claire Ramsey) contract
with Guiding Light will not been renewed. Pratt's future with the show
has been fodder for Internet rumors for several weeks.

Pratt debuted as Guiding Light's Claire in 1983. Pratt remained with
GL through 1986 before heading to ABC's All My Children, where she
played Barbara Montgomery from 1987 through 1991. Pratt remained with
AMC on a recurring basis for the next few years before taking a short
stint in 1999 as Charlotte Lindsay on As The World Turns. Pratt
returned to GL in April 2000.

Setside chatter hints that Pratt will not be written off the GL
canvas. In fact, it is widely believed that the actress will remain on
a recurring basis.

When contacted by Soap Opera Central, a Guiding Light spokesperson
reminded us that it is not their policy to discuss performers'
contracts.

The new of Pratt's departure comes with a bit of naming irony; just
last week Soap Opera Central reported that Wesley A. Ramsey (Sam
Spencer) had been told that his contract was not being renewed.
Fictional Claire's last name, of course, is also Ramsey. From Soap
Opera Central.

Canada on a Lifetime
                          movie. It's a very emotional, challenging
role, and we don't have a lot
                          of time to get it done. I am so grateful that
I won. I thank God, my
                          family and friends and my fans, and hopefully
I'll be there to accept
                          the next one!"

                               about Alex and Neil.
                               Since Tricia is out of town,
                               Victoria and Ryan have nothing

                               What does Traci discover in
                               Colleen's room?

                               smoothly as expected - or will

CBS scoop mailing list members...

Sorry for not getting the scoops out very often.  Rebecca has been
doing our best, but her life has been very hectic this year.  Soon
the scoops will be sent out by Stephanie instead.

The TV MegaSite is looking for someone to write Guiding Light and As
the World Turns summaries 2-3 days a week, at least.  We also need
people to write summaries for other soaps, and we will take other
contributions if you want to write about CBS or other soaps.  Please
email Suzanne @ suzanne@... if you're interested in
volunteering for us!

BTW, is it just me or have they been hinting on B&B that Massimo
might really be Ridge's father?  Maybe this will give him something
to do now that Taylor is leaving...

Thanks!
