Spoilers for Down the Road
Fall 2008 Spoilers "This fall will be about fresh starts, unholy
alliances, front-and-center families and lots of couples," previews
new GL Head Writer Jill Lorie Hurst tells SOD. Reva/Jeffrey: "Reva
and Jeffrey will make it to their wedding day, but not without some
strong opposition from Josh. The day will be fun and spontaneous.
Reva will be hit with some big challenges and changes that will
affect her both physically and emotionally. She will go forward
bravely and Jeffrey will be there every step of the way."
Josh/Cassie/Cyrus: "Josh will never completely give up on Reva, but
he sees that she's happy and he has to let her be - for now. Cassie
is ready to lighten up and having a cute jewel thief as a friend
isn't a bad way to start. She doesn't want to jump into relationship,
but [she and Cyrus] have some fun adventures together."
Alan/Beth: "Alan will get the medical help he needs and come back
more Alan-like than ever. [He] will not go to trial in the near
future, but Jeffrey is always looking to pin him for his crimes. Beth
will stick with Alan, but decides to go back to school, something
Alan's not crazy about." Grady/Daisy/Rafe: "Rafe won't be able to
fight Grady for Daisy for a while. Grady is in no hurry to redeem
himself in the eyes of Springfield. The only people he cares about
are Daisy and Cyrus. Grady's impulsiveness gets him in a lot of
trouble. He'll team up with someone in town and they'll wreck havoc
over the next couple of months. Daisy knows Grady is no good for her,
so she tries to steer clear and stay busy with a new job, but Grady's
so cute and misunderstood and that's hard for a girl to resist."
Mallet/Marina: "This romance is a breath of fresh air for both
characters. It will take some surprising steps in the months to
come." Lizzie/Bill: "Lizzie will stay in Springfield and help Bill
get over [losing] Max. They love each other, but can't get out of
their own way long enough to let the romance flourish, and their
mutual desire to run the business is another obstacle." Dinah: "Dinah
and Mallet will always love each other, but right now they're working
on being friends. Dinah is devastated by Bill's rejection and
realizes she needs to start over and take care of herself this time."
Coop/Ashlee/Blake: "Coop heads back to the classroom and Ashlee may
get in over her head as Dinah's right-hand gal at WSPR. [Blake's]
given up Coop, but we'll get her into some kind of trouble. Remy: "We
love the Boudreau family and plan to see more of them. Remy realizes
it's time to make some good choices. He wants love in his life. He
makes decisions that surprise his family and himself."

Lynn Leahey
Dear Readers,
We've gotten lots of feedback about OLTL's controversial Todd and
Marty
storyline, as an amnesiac, bedridden Marty grows close to her one-time
rapist. Most of the mail goes something like: love the characters,
are you
kidding with the story? In the new issue of Digest, OLTL Head Writer
Ron
Carlivati addresses viewer concerns. "It's not that I don't
understand the
seriousness of putting these two characters together," he says. "It's
fascinating to watch because you're wondering if and when it is all
going
to come tumbling down."... GL's Reva is afraid her life will come
tumbling
down, as she balances a cancer scare with her upcoming nups to
Jeffrey.
You can read all about it in your new issue, but stay tuned after that
because the plot twist coming afterward should shock even the most
jaded
soap fan. I'm not that easy to surprise but this is a moment that will
find me glued to the tube, to a show I think is getting better every
day.

TALES FROM THE INTERVIEW
Stephanie Sloane: Stephanie Sloane: I headed to ATWT's Brooklyn
studio to
interview Julie Pinson (Janet), who I know well from her days as
DAYS's
Billie. The actress, who was stuck at the airport in Chicago the day
before because of awful weather and was exhausted, was welcoming and
chatty nonetheless. She absolutely loves living in New York, as does
her
husband, Billy Warlock (ex-Frankie, DAYS et al). She is also loving
being
in Oakdale and working with Michael Park (Jack) and Austin Peck
(Brad),
her former on-screen brother. She shared an interesting fan encounter
she
had experienced while in the Windy City. "I was at a bar over the
weekend
in Chicago, and I happened to be sitting next to a girl that watches
the
show," she told me. "When I met her for the first time, she didn't
really
tell me that she knew who I was. Somehow, things got into soaps, and
she
goes, 'I'm a CBS girl,' so then I said, 'You know who I am?' And she
said,
'Yes you're Janet, I hate you, we hate Janet.' I asked her why and she
said, 'You are trying to break up Katie and Brad.' I asked, 'How long
has
it been since you actually watched the show?' and she said, 'Well it's
been a few weeks.' I told her, 'I'm with Jack now.' She was so
shocked by
that. But, you know, my job is to come on a show and do what I am
asked,
and that's all I can do. I don't pay attention to what the fans say, I
never have. I want to do my job with no second-guessing." For more on
that, her life in the Big Apple - and why she nearly quit acting -
check
out the new issue of Digest.
Devin Owens: In my interview with Kristoff St. John (Neil, Y&R) that
appears in the new issue, there's a mention that the actor sports nine
tattoos on that well-toned body. But only here does he reveal what
they
are. "I've got a dreamcatcher," Kristoff begins. "An Aum sign, a
cross,
two tribal armbands - one with my ex wife's initials - the Yin and
Yang, a
globe with my daughter Lola's name running through it, a little design
that I made myself with my other kids' Julian and Paris, initials and
there's a sunburst around my belly button." Believe it or not,
Kristoff
wants to get even more ink, but there's repair work that needs to be
done
first. "The globe needs to be fixed so it looks like a globe," he
chuckles. "Right now, people look at it and say, 'Is that a
marble?' "
CAMPAIGN TRAIL
You gotta love soap fans' creativity - Digest regularly receives
doodads
and goodies from readers who know how to make a statement.
Elaine G. Flores: I never fail to be amazed by the fun, creative
ideas you
fans come up with.
-- The folks at
http://sourceinterlink.r.delivery.net/r?
2.1.3Ky.2gt.11eqqO.BzJ2oi..N.EzdU.
18g.LIOEeW00 sent a BIG reminder of how they feel about DAYS's Daniel
and
Chelsea with a huge penguin-themed banner declaring that, "Love Knows
No
Age." Actor Shawn Christian (Daniel) also received one and tells
Digest,
"It was amazing; I couldn't believe how big it was! I want to thank
the
fans for doing it." -- Referring to a FRIENDS's episode, GH fans
wrote:
"Just like Ross was for Rachel ... Jason is Eizabeth's Lobster!"
(According to myth, lobsters mate for life.) The postcards were
accompanied by all kinds of shellfish doodads including stickers,
cocktail
napkins, a bib, beads and stuffed, 0;rubber and paper lobsters. Sadly,
there was no butter sauce, but I suppose that's too messy to send
through
the mail. -- Coincidentally, fans of AMC's Alicia Minshew (Kendall)
were
also thinking of shells. They sent cards bearing the message, "Time to
shell out for a new contract for Alicia Minshew!" along with a
variety of
seashells and sand dollars.... We're also still hearing from
supporters of
AMC's Aidan and Greenlee ("the couple worth rooting for"), who sent
scrapbook-themed postcards. It reminded me a little of the classic AMC
photo album featured in the show's intro. -- The ATWT CarJackers
resumed
their "Find True North" to reunite Jack and Carly campaign and sent in
more little compasses. You'll remember that this compass idea was
borrowed
by fans of GH's Kelly Monaco (Sam), who complained that they can't
find
her on-screen. Well, now a JaSam campaign device is being used by
lovers
of GH's Lulu and Johnny, who created an old-time wanted poster, which
reads: "Wanted Together Forever For: Stolen Kisses, Sneaking Hugs,
Tickle
Fights, Extreme Cuteness and Unlawful Hotness." The
reward? "Thousands of
Happy Fans." Aww!... Back to Sam, remember the huge box of cookies
decorated with an image of Lucky and Sam? Well the actors got some
cookies, too. Check out this adorable shot of Kelly Monaco and Greg
Vaughan (Lucky). -- New to the campaign trail, Catherine Hickland
(Lindsay, OLTL) got a boost. "Please let Ms. Hickland continue being
an
asset for the show," wrote one fan from N.Y.C. Also on the OLTL front,
Brody and Layla have a cheering section. "A war hero and a passionate
fashionista, please write us this romantic story!" implored a Llanview
devotee.

TYPE SET
Soap fans are a vocal bunch - see what fellow viewers are saying about
their shows.
"I'd like to file a missing persons report on GL's Coop Bradshaw and
Ashlee Wolfe! They seem to have disappeared without a trace! I miss
this
couple. Coop and Ashlee are one of the most real, sweet and loving
couples
GL has ever had and they have been thrown away for no reason. The
breakup
was hard to watch, but understandable. I cried for hours after
watching
it. Caitlin Van Zandt and John Driscoll are amazing and move in
perfect
sync with each other. I'm sick of Ashlee only being used to prop up
other
stories and where in the world has Coop been? It's time for this
amazing
couple to come back together." J.W., Fort Myers, FL

IN PERSON
My name is Lisa Melgar and I was lucky enough to tour the ATWT studio.
Dylan Bruce (Chris) was nice enough to go on half the tour with us,
even
though he was done for the day. He even joked that we were doing "a
day on
the set with Dylan." We also got to spend time with John Prescott
(Mike)
who sadly was saying his goodbyes. It was an amazing day as it was
Grayson's [McCouch, Dusty] first day back. There was such a buzz
around
the studio:."Have you seen Grayson?"...."Wait until you see Grayson".
Grayson is amazing He is just the sweetest. Everyone on set was kind
and
gracious. Come on everyone, let's support this show.

Soap Scrambler Answer
Jennifer Gareis (Donna)
TODAY AT SOAP 0PERA WEEKLY
August 22, 2008
Considering she's already killed one man and gone on the run with
another,
GENERAL HOSPITAL's Lulu (Julie Marie Berman) could certainly use some
advice from her mother. As luck would have it, Laura (Genie Francis)
knows
something about both subjects...but she doesn't know all that she
thinks
she does. Check our Late Breaking section for the news Lulu passes on
about a major event in Laura's life.

-Look for Eva Marcille (Tyra) and Jamia Simone Nash (Ana) to depart

THE TOP 10 PLUS
1. GENERAL HOSPITAL's Kate referred to bipolar gangster Sonny as
living a
"full" life, not a "productive" life. Hmmm.
2. AS THE WORLD TURNS' Lily laughing at Lucinda's sexy dress was
cold...
3. ...on the other hand, the divine Ms. Walsh looked really hot, and
it
was lovely of Noah to notice!
4. Seeing the Swiffer WetJet "Baby Come Back" commercials whenever
BOLD
AND BEAUTIFUL's Ridge is on...? Hilarious.
5. The Bad Seed's Rhonda Penmark might not hold a candle to ALL MY
CHILDREN's Kathy. Krystal, beware!
6. Did anyone else get a kick out of ONE LIFE TO LIVE's Gigi's trip to
1968 and seeing that things weren't what they appeared to be --
especially
meeting Shane as young Spencer?
7. Speaking of OLTL, nice touch using the Marvin Gaye and Tammi
Terrell
song "You're All I Need to Get By" during Aug. 19's romantic montage.
8. Who else is anticipating the return of AS THE WORLD TURNS' James
Stenbeck to wreak havoc on Oakdale?
9. Not that we're complaining, but does B&B's Owen even own a shirt
that's
not the exact same blue as his eyes?
10. Unless AMC has decided to age Spike, isn't he a bit young to be
sent
to a sleepaway camp?
11. Anthony threatened the DA in the middle of the Port Charles Police
Department, so don't tell us GH respects cops.
12. Talk about turning the other cheek! GH's Elizabeth is now giving
Lucky
and Sam love advice.
13. So much for security. DAYS OF OUR LIVES' Nicole strolled into the
DiMera mansion and poured herself a drink, and no one even tried to
stop
her.
14. YOUNG AND RESTLESS' Amber rambled on to Daniel about her (bogus)
surfer dude conquest like a silly high school girl.

WHY WE CLAPPED
The death of Victor's beloved Sabrina on THE YOUNG AND THE RESTLESS
left
him bereft, and Eric Braeden did an expert job of portraying the
shattered
business titan. Braeden slumped, teary-eyed, at her bedside, his
posture
the essence of defeat -- the complete opposite of the Victor fans
know and
love. Until, that is, Nikki arrived -- that's when Braeden restored
the
fire, and Victor raged and threatened Nikki. After dispatching her,
Braeden returned to tender mode as Victor made final arrangements for
his
wife. And we made arrangements to award Braeden Applause, Applause
kudos
for Issue 36.

NIGHTWATCH
-From Senior Writer/Editor Joe Diliberto: The latest episode of MAD
MEN
was all about fertility and the power of women. Yes, women, in 1962.
Now,
who did MM think it was fooling, sending Peggy to the Church of the
Holy
Innocents? She immediately exerted her influence by bewitching young
Father Gill (Colin Hanks), who found excuses to be around her ("This
is
how God works," he noted). After Father Gill learned Peggy had a
child out
of wedlock, he sought her out on Easter Sunday and handed her an
egg "for
the little one." Seemed to me he was referencing the pagan origins of
the
holiday, which stems from using eggs in spring fertility celebrations
among the ancient Romans and Babylonians. Older Greek, Egyptian,
Persian
and Japanese festivals even involved dyed eggs. And fertility is the
ultimate expression of female power.
There was also a different sort of Sunday activity going on ? Don and
the
crew had to work on the "day of rest" to prepare an airline
presentation,
which gave MM a chance to show us once again just how much society has
changed. Can you believe Joan and the other assistants -- I mean,
secretaries -- actually waited for all the men to eat first before
they
got a crack at the food? (It was like a pride of lions, where
although the
females hunt the game, the males eat first.) So much for the formal
social
power of women.
However, while everyone else was working, Roger was playing -- with
working girl Vicki. After just one look, Vicki had enough control over
Roger to get him spending his money like a fool. The conniving Mrs.
Barrett also put her...skills to work to convince Don that her husband
Jimmy deserved a TV show ? one that Don deemed "derivative, but with a
twist," just what the networks are looking for.
On the domestic front, Betty's power was challenged by little Bobby
and
what she perceived as Don's refusal to utilize his power to punish
their
son. Too bad she didn't know Don was regularly beaten by his own
father --
and the harsh treatment only made him fantasize about murdering the
creep.
Gulp! Talk about feeling powerless...
THE WE IN WEEKLY
-From Editorial Assistant Julie Globus: After attending the AMC fan
club
event this weekend, I find myself a bit confused about Colin
Egglesfield's
lack of airtime. Rumor has it that the execs feel fans don't accept
his
character, Josh, because of his status as the unaborted fetus (not
that
numerous just-as-wacky things haven't also occurred on soaps). But if
fans
truly feel that way, why did Colin get such a warm reception at the
fan
club event? And why do we get so much mail about him here at Weekly?
Colin
told his many fans to let the execs know if they want to see more of
Josh,
and I guess that's the way to truly find out if the execs are right or
not!
-From News Editor Mala Bhattacharjee: Hey, did you know there's a nu-
old
character on AS THE WORLD TURNS named Dani Andropoulos? If you didn't,
everyone from Emily to Susan to Alison made certain to introduce the
newly
returned Stewart-Andropoulos scion by her entire name. Several times
an
episode. To people she theoretically already knows. It got to a point
where I was playing a drinking game with my diet soda, chugging every
time
someone went, "Dani Andropoulos!" I don't know about anybody else,
but I
don't constantly introduce my multisyllabic cousins by their hefty
monikers...and you can bet I have several who fit the bill.
IT'S MY PARTY
-From Senior Editor Gabrielle Winkel: Last weekend we had ONE LIFE TO
LIVE's annual fan club festivities in New York. I've said this
before, but
everyone needs to experience being cheered on by a group of devoted
fans.
The screaming and yelling when 25 OLTL actors came into the room at
the
Marriott Marquis was deafening. (Hopefully, when one of them has a bad
day, they can just remember the energy in that room and they can move
past
whatever they are going through.) However, that was Saturday. My
events
started on Friday, when I attended the end of Trevor St. John's (Todd,
pictured at right) solo event and the beginning of Kristen Alderson's
(Starr) first solo gathering. St. John has a devoted fan following,
and he
spends lots of time with them. He's very funny, employs lots of
sarcasm,
to be sure, and enjoys hearing what his fans have to say.
I had a chance to talk to Alderson before her event. She had brought
things from home to give as gifts for the winners of her trivia
contest.
The questions she asked were all Starr storyline-related. Alderson is
such
a lovely young woman and wanted to make sure everyone had a nice time.
During the course of the event, her guests began popping in. Eddie
Alderson (Matthew) and Brandon Buddy (Cole) were first, followed by
Brittany Underwood (Langston), BethAnn Bonner (Talia) and Jason Tam
(Markko). Alderson talked about Starr's pregnancy and showed her fans
that
she clearly wasn't pregnant in real life.
Saturday was the annual OLTL fan club luncheon. I got to talk to some
of
the actors in the press room, which is always fun. I met Mark Lawson
(Brody) for the first time. He's very charming and very happy to be
on the
show (as are most actors, I must add). BethAnn Bonner is always a
bundle
of energy, always on time and rushing around, giving everyone big
hugs.
The actual lunch, which had the actors fielding questions, was more
of a
lovefest. For every question asked, there was a statement praising the
show.
Later that day I attended Catherine Hickland's fan club event, which
is
also a fund-raiser for the Cat Haven Wild Animal Park. Hickland
(Lindsay)
is always such a joy to be around. I almost didn't go (I was really,
really tired), but I needed a hit of Hickland love, so I went. I
wasn't
disappointed.
Be sure to check out the Sept. 9 issue of Soap Opera Weekly for
photos of
all the events.

Wedded bliss?
Sunday, September 7, 2008 12:47 AM | By Venus Stone
(SoapOperaNetwork.com) -- A wedding brings out old feelings for two
estranged couples, while the bride has feelings for another...
THIS WEEK ON:AS THE WORLD TURNS
Paul continues to hunt for James' buried money in order to pay Derek.
Barbara, knowing her son is in serious trouble promises to do what
she can but needs some time. When Paul calls Derek requesting some
more time to get the money Derek informs him he has only 24 hours to
do so. Paul, requesting Henry's help, inadvertantly puts him, Vienna
and Bonnie in danger.
Brad mistakenly thinks he's in the clear of the investigation of Leo
but learns that Jack received new evidence that could bring him front
and center. Brad instantly insists that Jack get rid of the
information he has, but Jack doesn't do so. Jack later tells Janet
about the evidence and shows her the file he snuck out of the police
station. A fearful Janet asks Jack to hand over the file to him.
A BRIDE HAS FEELINGS FOR SOMEONE OTHER THAN THE GROOM
While shopping for her wedding dress, Alison runs into Aaron, who
hands her a box of chocolate candies. The two are talking together
about the wedding when Chris calls asking for her to come over to
care for the dog. After caring for the dog, Alison leaves but leaves
the chocolates behind. Meanwhile, Dani asks Casey to get Chris to
meet him for lunch so she can casually 'drop' in on them. When he
arrives, Chris immediately knows what she's up to and starts to
leave. Dani quickly convinces him to stay. Alison, realizing that she
left her chocolates in Chris' room goes back and begins to freak out
when she sees the dog has gotten sick. Chris, getting the call from
Alison, tells Dani he has to head back to the hospital. Dani,
however, spots him getting back onto the elevator at the Lakeview.
Chris and Alison tend to the dog and when he shows signs of
improvement, an emotional Alison begins to cry. The two begin
discussing their feelings and soon find themselves not only in a
passionate kiss, but in his bed making love.
At the rehearsal party,Alison doesn't show up and Dani immediately
becomes suspicious. Heading to the hospital, Danie learns that
neither Alison or Chris have been there at all. She soon heads to the
Lakeview and spots Chris and Alison racing out of his room towards
the elevator. When Alison does arrive at Lily's for the rehearsal
party, Aaron is very attentive towards her, but Alison's guilt
mounts. Later on, Chris and Alison have another run in, where he
questions if she told Aaron what went on between them. Alison tells
Chris she will not reveal that at all to Aaron and departs; both
unaware that Dani has heard everything. When the wedding finally
arrives, Chris admits to Dani that he loves Alison and she in turn
tells him she won't reveal what she knows about the two of them.
Afterwards, Jack and Carly and Holden and Lily both find themselves
thinking about the love they shared, leading both estranged couples
into tender kisses.

is a man who's cut off and alone. Back home, he's presumed dead. It's

1993 and 1999] because this time there's very concrete evidence that
he's dead. The family has to try to cope with that. Also, what's
different than before is the presence of his son Adam, and certainly
the will that was drafted and changed weeks prior to Sabrina's death
becomes a very important component to this story. As you remember, he
was upset over the Sabrina article and Victoria and Nick's treatment
of her, and sort of in the heat of the moment he made a change to his
will, so that's the will they have to live with. It's going to be
really interesting to see how Nikki and all the family members have
to cope with his presumed death."
JACK/SHARON/NICK/PHYLLIS: "There's a lot more turmoil in the future
for the Restless Style gang. What's happening with Jack is that he's
hoping that much more explosive articles and exposés might give the
magazine a boost, whereas Nick and Phyllis are completely against
that. There is continued conflict and it's going to reach an
untenable position between the four partners."
CANE/LILY/CHLOE: "There's going to continue to be bombshells and
surprises in those relationships. People should be tuning in to see
what happens with them because there are so many secrets and lies
revealed; it's not what everyone expected it to be. It's going to be
really fun to watch."
DANIEL/AMBER/COLLEEN: "We're going to see Daniel emerging as an
artist and continuing to be caught up in a love triangle between his
heart, which is with Amber, though she certainly broke it, and
Colleen, who he's starting to have feelings for. That's going to be a
very interesting triangle going forward."
THE WINTERS FAMILY: "After secrets are revealed by Tyra and Ana,
their relationship with Devon is deepened. The whole family makes a
great sacrifice for Ana. You'll see that it's going to be an
emotional story about family.
GLORIA/JEFFREY: "The fun thing about them is what attracts them to
each other, and what makes them want to kill each other practically
is their continued scheming both together and separately. When two
black hearts fall in love, they really love each other, but do they
trust each other? We're going to see a lot more of them scheming
together – and apart. That's just their relationship; for them,
sparring and scheming are an aphrodisiac."
MICHAEL/RIVER: "This is going to be a really important story this
fall. What it really is is a story of Michael learning about himself
through discovering who his father is. What he's in store for are a
lot of surprises about who his father is at heart; he'll discover
that there's something of his father in him."
JILL/KAY/BRAD: "There's going to be a lot of upheaval at Jabot. In
the wake of David Chow [dying], a lot is going to be uncovered about
who knew what and when they knew it. It's going to be interesting to
see who emerges the leader. Who's going to come and calm the waters
at Jabot is not necessarily who one would expect."

SOAP OPERA DIGEST INSIDER
September 4, 2008
Greetings From The Editor
Lynn Leahey
Dear Readers,
There are two big daytime returns I can't wait to see: Eileen
Davidson's
to Y&R as Ashley, and A Martinez to a new role on OLTL. Davidson spent
time on B&B after being written off Y&R, and even though it seemed
like a
squandered opportunity - she was great with Ronn Moss's Ridge, and
Ashley
could have been a viable threat in the tired Ridge/Brooke saga if the
couple hadn't reunited - the show did a good job shoring up the
character.
When Davidson left Y&R it seemed like Ashley had run out of steam,
but in
L.A. she regained her strength and spirit. And from what we've been
told,
she'll be a vital force once again. Which is what I expect we'll find
with
A Martinez when he first airs as prisoner Ray. Any fan of SANTA
BARBARA
has to be itching to see this incredible actor back on screen, and Ray
sounds like the kind of complex, enigmatic character Martinez will
bring
beautifully to life. Check out your new Digest for the details.

O.1D%5f.FWMEdD00 to visit Soap Opera Digest's official page on
Facebook to
share your thoughts.
TALES FROM THE INTERVIEW
Lauren Flynn: Sometime around early spring, there were whispers that
OLTL's on-screen duo John-Paul Lavoisier and Farah Fath (Rex and Gigi)
were dating, but even then it was mere speculation, as even their co-
stars
were in the dark. After several public appearances where the two were
inseparable, it was clear that something special had taken hold, but
all
Lavoisier had to say at the time was, "Yeah, Farah and I are hanging
out."
So I was surprised when a month after he gave me that answer, he
agreed to
go on the record with Fath over dinner at a spot they frequent when
they're not ordering in five nights a week and watching themselves on
OLTL. After spending just a few minutes with the pair, I immediately
noticed how comfortable they are around each other, giggling,
cuddling and
openly sharing stories (with plenty of interrupting and playful
snapping).
I truly hope you enjoy reading their five-page feature, "Two Cute,"
in the
latest issue of Digest as much as I enjoyed laughing along with them
as
they recalled how insecure Lavoisier was about approaching the
glamorous
former DAYS starlet and the awkward details of their coming out as a
couple.
Naomi Rabinowitz: I've been writing the Ask The Expert column for
about
four years, but I have to say my interview with Ronald Mallett,
the "time
travelin' professor," was definitely amongst the most unusual experts
I've
ever spoken with. Though Rex and Bo's time travel story on OLTL was
written as a fantasy, Professor Mallett explained that their visit to
the
'60s could theoretically happen. However, he's no crackpot. He teaches
physics at the University of Connecticut and had plenty of scientific
equations to support the possibility of time travel. He even built a
time
machine - and then wrote a book about it, which Spike Lee is turning
into
a movie.
It was no surprise then that he enjoyed hearing about OLTL. "I guess
for
me, watching movies or shows with time travel storylines is a bit
like how
it feels for a lawyer or doctor to see their professions portrayed,"
he
explained. "I get a kick out of watching them, but they rarely get the
facts about time travel entirely correct. Though I understand that
they
have to make it more dramatic for the sake of the storyline."
Much as I enjoyed talking to Professor Mallett, though, I had another
fascinating interview in that same issue with Roscoe Born (Trent,
DAYS). A
veteran of 13 soaps, Born is certainly no stranger to drama
(including his
real-life scandal when he suddenly bailed on AMC in 1997) and I wasn't
quite sure how to ask him about this. But while he didn't talk too
much
about his reasons for leaving that show, he was surprisingly candid
about
everything else in his life - including the jobs he's taken in between
soap gigs. Though his DAYS stint is coming to a close, with his
background, chances are he'll soon pop up on another soap.
Whoops! Last week, we shared a story about Devin Owens's interview
with
Brandon Beemer (Owen, B&B). If you couldn't find it in your issue,
that's
because it's really in the one you're about to receive. No,
seriously, we
mean it this time.

CAMPAIGN TRAIL
You gotta love soap fans' creativity - Digest regularly receives
doodads
and goodies from readers who know how to make a statement.
Elaine G. Flores: This was a somewhat quiet week on the trail. I guess
that long holiday weekend slowed things down with mail delivery.
There was
another case of great-minds-think-alike campaigning: We got two faux
magazine covers.
-- DAYS's "Lumi" fans said it with flowers to show their support for
Bryan
R. Dattilo's Lucas and Alison Sweeney's Sami. The group sent over some
lovely roses as part of their "Lumi Flowers Campaign." -- One
entertaining
piece of mail to cross my desk this week was a tribute to ATWT's Meg
and
Paul featuring a mock Soap Opera Digest cover for an an all-"Peg"
issue
with blurbs, gushing: "At Last! Baby on Board" and "PEG Fans are
Thrilled!" Nice job.... Oakdale's Tom and Margo also got love with a
card
declaring that the duo is: "Looking Better & Better!" -- There were a
variety of shout-outs to Pine Valley, including glossy postcards
praising
AMC's Aidan and Greenlee. One "Love Is Devane" card came with the
plea,
"Keep Ailee - the perfect pair. No Ryan! No triangle!" We also got
cards
asking, "Where are Ian and Josh?" and the message, "Such cuteness
shouldn't be hidden!".... The fans at
http://sourceinterlink.r.delivery.net/r?2.1.3Ky.2gt.11g2vw.B%
5fApr2..N.Fau
g.1D%5f.HYMEdb00 were especially vocal, sending in love notes for Pete
Cortlandt, Dre Woods and Colby Chandler. -- Y&R's Chloe is catching
on.
The bad girl inspired some very cute cards with the classic Mae West
quote: "When I'm good, I'm very good, but when I'm bad, I'm better."
The
cards came courtesy of Elizabeth Hendrickson Fan Forum at
http://sourceinterlink.r.delivery.net/r?2.1.3Ky.2gt.11g2vw.B%
5fApr2..N.Fau
i.1D%5f.HdcEdd00 -- Someone has launched a campaign rooting for OLTL's
Tika Sumpter (Layla). Of the cards devoted to her, the coolest one
was a
slick Craze magazine cover, modeled after Llanview's fictional
glossy. The
custom-made Craze featured a sultry shot of the "Feisty
fashionista." --
In ongoing campaign news, I told you the milk cartons for ATWT's Noah
and
Luke had tapered off, but there was a flurry of new postcards this
week.
And last week, I told you about all the puzzles we got for GH's Jason
and
Elizabeth, this week we got a plastic bag featuring loose puzzle
pieces.
There's no way I'm patient enough to piece the whole thing together,
but
Online Producer Leeann Cannon bet me that she could get it done
quickly
and she sure did.
TYPE SET
Soap fans are a vocal bunch - see what fellow viewers are saying about
their shows.
I absolutely love the new season of GH: NIGHT SHIFT. It's 100 percent
better than last season. I am loving the story involving Robin and
Robert.
Bringing him back was one of the best moves made. Now if GH would just
follow suit and give us the viewers what we want! We like seeing the
return of classic characters with real storylines like Robert and
Jagger.
Vicki, via the Internet
IN PERSON
Vicky Sullivan, Webmaster at the Anthony Geary (Luke, GH) fan site
TonyGeary.Net, shared this shot of Greg Vaughan (Lucky, GH) and Jacob
Young (JR, AMC) at an August 24th meet and greet at the Tampa Seminole
Hard Rock Casino and Hotel. Sullivan tells us, "They were great. Greg
was
sitting on the side where fans could just stand and watch. These
people
didn't come in, but were just people at the Hard Rock. When they
realized
what was happening they came and took a lot of cell phone pictures and
Greg would sign some pics and throw them up in the air to them. He did
this several times. It was funny. Jacob would help people with their
cameras, which was nice. They had a drawing for a soap cruise. I think
everyone left there very happy." Lukefans@...

INSIDER POLL
Have your say in our exclusive subscriber-only poll.
Last week we asked: Do real-life soap couples have more chemistry

You said:
You betcha! Talk about your Method acting (wink, wink). 40%
Don't bet it on! That real-life sizzle can fizzle in reel-life. 60%
Here's this week's question:
B&B's reveal that Katie is pregnant was a total shocker, since she and
Nick had sex off-screen. Would you like soaps to drop more bombshells
based on off-screen events?
Yes! It's great to be totally thrown for a loop.
No! I don't want to miss a thing.

FOR YOUR EYES ONLY
From Editorial Assistant Meridith M. Miller: GL's Caitlin VanZandt

post-Lap-Band surgery. She shared a ton of personal tidbits about her
journey and transformation, and wanted all of her WEEKLY fans to know
how
much she appreciates their support. "I've gotten all of these letters
and
all of these messages on the show's message boards from so many
loving,
supportive fans," she shares. "They were full of questions and full of
praise. I cling to that. It means a lot." So if you're a fan of
Caitlin or
Ashlee, keep your messages and fan mail coming. Check out the Sept. 16
issue of WEEKLY for Caitlin's story.

Keep those goodies coming...
WHY WE CLAPPED
Drake Hogestyn has a lot of history on DAYS OF OUR LIVES, so it is no
small thing to call his recent performances the best of his 20-year
tenure. Hogestyn was challenged to pit different aspects of his
character
against each other, as well as the spectre of his father, Santo.
Hogestyn
played a vulnerable, innocent John, an angry older John and even a
more
relaxed and controlled John as Hogestyn helped his character make
peace
with himself. For tying together his character (and career) in one
sequence, we award him Applause, Applause kudos for Issue 38.

NIGHTWATCH
-- From Senior Writer/Editor Joe Diliberto: As the final season of THE
SHIELD plays out, CCH Pounder's Claudette Wyms is still in charge of
the
corrupt police precinct known as "the Barn," and that suits Pounder
just
fine. But don't call Claudette the "moral center" of the show. "What
the
hell does that mean?" Pounder muses. "It always bothered me, as a
label,
that she was the 'moral center' of the show, but I enjoyed it very
much,
regardless of the testosterone - of which there was a great deal on
and
off the set. It's wonderful to be the woman and walk through it and
infuse
the story with the power and the tenderness of women. I really did
enjoy
that. You want my opinion about being a girl on the show? I came to
the
show as a man, technically, because the role was written for a man.
The
idea that she was going to be one of the boys played out very well
for me.
It's kind of wonderful to be in a hard-boiled suit, but [have] some
morsels of compassion to dish out."
Catch THE SHIELD Tuesdays at 10 p.m. on FX.
-- That was famous author Jay McInerney (Bright Lights, Big City)
playing
the "famous author" for whom Dan was interning on this week's season
premiere of GOSSIP GIRL. Pretty convincing, eh?
THE WE IN WEEKLY
-- From Editorial Assistant Julie Globus: Watching Tad deal with
Kathy on
AMC has gotten harder and harder, and seeing his reaction to Kathy
pushing
Krystal off the ladder was the worst scene yet. He believed Kathy's
denial
over the story of his wife, who had no reason to lie about it. While I
understand that Tad just found Kathy and probably doesn't want to deal
with the trouble she's been up to, when she's putting the life of his
other daughter in danger, he should be taking it seriously.

VICTOR AND THE NEWMANS: "In the aftermath of Sabrina's death, Victor
is a man who's cut off and alone. Back home, he's presumed dead. It's
different than the last times [when he was presumed dead in 1983,
1993 and 1999] because this time there's very concrete evidence that
he's dead. The family has to try to cope with that. Also, what's
different than before is the presence of his son Adam, and certainly
the will that was drafted and changed weeks prior to Sabrina's death
becomes a very important component to this story. As you remember, he
was upset over the Sabrina article and Victoria and Nick's treatment
of her, and sort of in the heat of the moment he made a change to his
will, so that's the will they have to live with. It's going to be
really interesting to see how Nikki and all the family members have
to cope with his presumed death."
JACK/SHARON/NICK/PHYLLIS: "There's a lot more turmoil in the future
for the Restless Style gang. What's happening with Jack is that he's
hoping that much more explosive articles and exposés might give the
magazine a boost, whereas Nick and Phyllis are completely against
that. There is continued conflict and it's going to reach an
untenable position between the four partners."
CANE/LILY/CHLOE: "There's going to continue to be bombshells and
surprises in those relationships. People should be tuning in to see
what happens with them because there are so many secrets and lies
revealed; it's not what everyone expected it to be. It's going to be
really fun to watch."
DANIEL/AMBER/COLLEEN: "We're going to see Daniel emerging as an
artist and continuing to be caught up in a love triangle between his
heart, which is with Amber, though she certainly broke it, and
Colleen, who he's starting to have feelings for. That's going to be a
very interesting triangle going forward."
THE WINTERS FAMILY: "After secrets are revealed by Tyra and Ana,
their relationship with Devon is deepened. The whole family makes a
great sacrifice for Ana. You'll see that it's going to be an
emotional story about family.
GLORIA/JEFFREY: "The fun thing about them is what attracts them to
each other, and what makes them want to kill each other practically
is their continued scheming both together and separately. When two
black hearts fall in love, they really love each other, but do they
trust each other? We're going to see a lot more of them scheming
together – and apart. That's just their relationship; for them,
sparring and scheming are an aphrodisiac."
MICHAEL/RIVER: "This is going to be a really important story this
fall. What it really is is a story of Michael learning about himself
through discovering who his father is. What he's in store for are a
lot of surprises about who his father is at heart; he'll discover
that there's something of his father in him."
JILL/KAY/BRAD: "There's going to be a lot of upheaval at Jabot. In
the wake of David Chow [dying], a lot is going to be uncovered about
who knew what and when they knew it. It's going to be interesting to
see who emerges the leader. Who's going to come and calm the waters
at Jabot is not necessarily who one would expect."

Greetings From The Editor
Lynn Leahey
Dear Readers,
Everyone's buzzing about how great Y&R is these days, and in your new
Digest you can read about how they're working to make the show even
better. Eileen Davidson's return as Ashley is just the beginning - the
Abbott family has a "young Jack Abbott" to stir things up, and Kay and
Jill will be in the thick of things again. Topping it off will be a
location shoot in Paris with Victor, Ashley, Sharon and Nick. "It's
really
going to pay off and be fun, romantic and exciting," promises Head
Writer
Maria Arena Bell.... Also exciting is OLTL's Rex and Gigi finally
making
love. "She got pregnant and then she never had sex again until over 10
years later," marvels Farah Fath, "with the same guy who got her
pregnant!" Fath and scene partner (and real-life love) John-Paul
Lavoisier
offer colorful quotes on the situation in the new Digest.

TALES FROM THE INTERVIEW
Erika Martinez: On a sweltering, sunny day I had the pleasure of
spending
an afternoon with ATWT's Marie Masters (Susan). Not only did I get to
interview the venerable soap vet, she shared one of her greatest
passions
with me, art. We met at the Museum of Modern Art in New York, intent
on
reminiscing about her 40 years on ATWT and taking in a Salvador Dali
exhibition. To our dismay, MOMA was shuttered for the day, so we
headed
over to the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Masters was like a kid in a
candy
store, surrounded by priceless antiquities and eagerly ushered me
over to
see an Etruscan chariot on display in the renovated Greek and Roman
wing.
After a quick bite, we sat down to chat. Masters giggled and snorted
with
laughter as she recalled bloopers from her early days on the soap and
her
eyes sparkled as she brimmed with pride while talking about her
children.
You can read all about Masters' milestone anniversary in the next
issue of
Digest.
Mara Levinsky: It was truly a pleasure to sit down with Jacob Young
(JR)
for the interview featured in this week's magazine. It's an exciting
time
for the actor, who is hitting the five-year mark on AMC and
anticipating
the birth of his first child with wife Christen. He has been an
extremely
involved papa-to-be; he's accompanied his wife to all of her doctor's
visits save for one (and that was because he was at work). "The
technology
they have these days is amazing," he notes. "We paid a little extra
for
this procedure where you get 3-D images and video of the baby in the
womb.
It's absolutely incredible! An ultrasound is one thing, but to really
see
the face, it's truly like seeing the baby before it's born." To hear
how
he found out Christen was pregnant, his reaction to learning they were
expecting a son, why he has barely any room left in his bed and more,
see
this week's Digest!
TYPE SET
Soap fans are a vocal bunch - see what fellow viewers are saying about
their shows.
I can't help but wonder why an industry that is constantly telling us
how
much they respect and support our military men and women continues to
make
it look like any character that has come home from Iraq or
Afghanistan is
now either crazy, dangerous, or somehow unstable.... Look, everyone
has
their own opinion of the war on terror, but what we tune into our
shows
for is love in the afternoon.... When I want world news or a debate I
will
tune into my favorite news program. In the meantime I hope they
realize
that doing this is not only making me tune out of my soaps, but it is
also
pushing me in the exact opposite direction of the opinion they are
trying
to force-feed me! Sincerely, K. B., Glendale AZ.

Answers to your burning questions.
Q. Please help me settle a bet. I say that the actress currently
playing
Marty Saybrooke's mysterious nurse, Janet, on OLTL is the same
actress who
portrayed Lee Halpern, head of Dyna-women and mother of Mari Lynn
Dennison
in the mid-'80s. My friend says I'm wrong, and a dinner is riding on
the
answer. L.W., El Segundo, CA
A. Enjoy your dinner because that is indeed Janet Zarish (Janet) who
first
appeared on OLTL as Lee Halpern, the head of a consulting firm called
Dyna-women, from 1987-88. Max had a brief affair with the
businesswoman,
who turned out to be the presumed-dead wife of Tom Dennison. Lee's
reunion
with their teenage daughter, Mari Lynn, however, was short-lived: Mari
Lynn accidentally shot and killed Mom while trying to save her from an
attacker. Zarish also played Natalie on ATWT in 1981.

off-screen events?
You said:
Yes! It's great to be totally thrown for a loop.: 53%
No! I don't want to miss a thing.: 47%
Here's this week's question:
If you cheat on soaps, you're gonna get busted. What's the best way
for
soap characters to find out their significant other has been fooling
around?
They catch the illicit lovers in bed.
Some gossipy big mouth fills them in.
Overwhelmed by guilt, their significant other 'fesses up.
Everyone keeps quiet ... until the baby needs a blood donor.

THE TOP TEN PLUS
1. GENERAL HOSPITAL's Edward insisted that he does not eat raw food.
Maybe someone should order him a pizza!
2. ALL MY CHILDREN's Annie couldn't have shot Greenlee, because the
revolver was defective: Even though the hammer was cocked, the
trigger was already depressed and thus, useless.
3. How ironic that GUIDING LIGHT's Alan — who has a head full of bad
wiring — scarfed Wi-Fi from the guy across the street.
4. So AS THE WORLD TURNS' skilled liar Paul literally dug a hole?
That's equally ironic.
Roger Howarth (Paul, ATWT)
—JPI
5. YOUNG AND RESTLESS' Hogan Sheffer should write a book on how to
make boring characters (like David and Sabrina) exciting — and then
promptly kill them.
6. Okay, enough already. Telepathic memo to ONE LIFE TO LIVE's Viki:
Come home.
7. ATWT's Holden couldn't put a comb through his hair for Aaron's
wedding?
8. Speaking of slovenliness on ATWT, businessman Paul didn't have a
suit to throw on for his new nephew's nups? Oh, that's right — he
planned to burrow in the middle of the ceremony.
9. We really wanted BOLD AND BEAUTIFUL's Bridget to belt Katie, but
we guess that would go against that "first do no harm" oath she took
as a doctor. Darn.
10. Massive literary kudos to ATWT for using "love-in-idleness," the
flower in Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream, to make
Holden/Lily and Carly/Jack kiss.
11. Exactly what were B&B's Owen and Donna doing in the sack that
Stephanie was able to spy them in a clinch and get back to the
hospital before Donna pulled away with doubts? Playing Parcheesi?
12. Y&R's Neil is the true winner in Victor's recluse sweepstakes —
he was awarded CEO of Newman Enterprises.
13. DAYS OF OUR LIVES' Trent is 0 for 2 in the fatherhood department.
He abandoned Max and is pimping out Melanie.
FOR YOUR EYES ONLY
Back with more items next week...
WHY WE CLAPPED
ONE LIFE TO LIVE's Trevor St. John did a (relatively) slow burn as
Tina tried to convince Todd there was something off about Jessica,
but he exploded when Todd tried to force a confrontation with Tess.
But St. John reined in the fury when Todd could not connect with his
niece, and later he was downright gentle with Marty, the clueless
rape victim he is manipulating. For showing the depth of Todd's
emotion, we awarded St. John Applause, Applause kudos for issue 39.
LISTENING STATION
Are you a music aficionado? Can you recognize an obscure ditty at 0.5
measures? Listening Station would be happy to take contributions.
Feel free to e-mail the song, artist, show and date to
mala@..., along with your name so we can give you
proper credit for your mad musical skills.
NIGHTWATCH
•From Senior Writer/Editor Joe Diliberto: The CW's new 90210 is
shaping up to be a ratings hit. Could it be because the targeted teen
demo (and their parents) can both relate to the characters? "These
kids aren't so wholesome that they're not unrealistic," insists
executive producer Jeff Judah. "They're kids — and anyone who has
teenagers knows what that means — they're just a little different
than these kids in Beverly Hills. [Dixon and Annie] have had the
family on top of them and grounding them and keeping them in line,
but they will still do things that all teenagers do."
•Bravo is letting fans choose two model wannabes for the second cycle
of MAKE ME A SUPERMODEL, slated to air in early 2009. Visit
www.BravoTV.com anytime between now and Sept. 24 to vote for one
female and one male hopeful to join the field and get a shot at
$100,000 and a modeling career.
THE WE IN WEEKLY
•From Editorial Assistant Julie Globus: I was pretty appalled by
Zach's response to Josh's embezzlement. I don't at all excuse what
Josh did, but I think Zach wanting to kill him is extreme. Not only
is Josh his brother-in-law, but he has called him his own brother.
And let's not forget the great deal of forgiveness he showed
Greenlee, who kidnapped Spike and nearly killed him. That can be
forgiven, but stealing can't?
•From Senior Editor Gabrielle Winkel: I'm just loving the Tess Takes
Over Llanfair story currently on OLTL. And I'm relieved that the dumb
gene has been erased from the brains of many Llanview residents.
Finally — and I mean FINALLY — people are putting mean and Jessica
together and realizing that equals Tess is back. Bree Williamson
(Tess) has been outstanding, as have Melissa Archer (Natalie) and
Andrea Evans (Tina), who are both shaking in their designer pumps.

SOAP OPERA DIGEST INSIDER
September 18, 2008
Greetings From The Editor
Lynn Leahey
Dear Readers,
Right before their wedding, GH's Kate had to forgive Sonny for
sleeping
with Carly. But it's another woman in Sonny's past that could destroy
the
ceremony, and Sonny makes sure she's invited! Meanwhile, superstitious
Kate is increasingly unnerved by a string of bad omens, and sure
enough,
tragedy strikes at the altar. Check out your new Digest for the
details.... As one of the many fans who loved seeing A Martinez as
Ray on
OLTL, I'm disappointed his run will not be long-term.... With Vanessa
Marcil headed for LIPSTICK JUNGLE (where I bet she'll be terrific),
hopes
are dashed for her imminent return to waiting-with-open-arms GH. But
the
show may be looking to bring back another fan fave -- the Stuff We
Know
section of Late-Breaking News has the latest on that!

to
share your thoughts.
TALES FROM THE INTERVIEW
Danielle McClure: Kane Manera (Grady, GL) isn't your typical soap
actor.
Not only was he a serious scholar back in his native Australia (he
studied
politics and European relations in college), but he's also lanky,
incredibly candid and it'd be remiss of me not to mention those sexy
long
locks! Still, Manera makes one heck of an on-screen bad guy. His turn
as
GL's seedy Grady Foley sends serious chills down my spine every time
he
flashes a sinister grin! Off-screen, however, Manera is just a
super-friendly, laid back dude who loves going to concerts (U2 and
Rage
Against The Machine are two of his favorite bands), soakin' up the
city
and taking advantage of N.Y.C.'s amazing eats. It's hardly surprising
then
that adventurous Manera (a one-time line cook) is a self-proclaimed
foodie, who didn't even pause when I asked for his favorite
restaurants.
"I love eating in New York!" he shares. I love eating at The Spotted
Pig
and the ultimate meal is at [chef Mario Batali's] Babbo. It's the
thing to
do when you move to America: Eat cheese and put on weight!" he laughs.
Read more about Manera (including the surprising job he had when he
first
moved to the states) in the Focus On feature in the new issue.
Tom Stacy: I've recently become even more of a fan of Kirsten Storms
(Maxie, GH). No, not as an actress! She's always been captivating,
whether
she was cussing out absentee mom Felicia at Georgie's funeral on GH,
falling in love for the first time as DAYS's sweet Belle. Heck, she
even
stole the show as the spunky ZENON in the Disney trilogy from years
gone
by. No, I meant as a person. I've interviewed Storms on a number of
occasions but never really got to know her until we recently sat down
to
lunch for her latest Digest feature. I have to tell you, she knocked
my
socks off with her wit, honesty and self-deprecating humor. As you'll
see,
Storms pulls no punches as she talks about everything from reuniting
on-screen with Jason Cook (Matt; ex-Shawn, DAYS) to those nasty
anorexia
rumors to the very public DUI she received last year. While many
actors
might have shied away from such topics, Storms's candor was truly
delightful. Nothing was off limits, so be sure to catch "Modern
Maturity"
in the new issue of Digest. I wouldn't be surprised if you see this
shining star in a new light, too.
CAMPAIGN TRAIL
Elaine G. Flores: I know I always say this, but this was a really
interesting week on the trail. I marvel at how much effort you fans
put
into these ideas. Though, I have to admit, the nice man who delivers
the
mail must wonder what the heck is going on in my office with the
curious
assortment of items that come in. So, here's what's happening this
week.
- The AMC fans of "Zendall" have multiple strategies. There were
postcards
declaring that "Kendall is the 'Hart' of Pine Valley" and urging the
show
to sign Alicia Minshew to a contract and the fans kept the theme going
with a variety of heart-shaped picture frames and a chocolate heart
with a
silkscreen image of the actress. One crafty fan took the time to put
some
pretty photos of Minshew decorated with flowers and butterflies on a
colorful ribbon. They also boasted that AMC hit the jackpot with Zach
and
Kendall and sent in dice, poker chips, toy gold coins etc. Someone
made an
adorable slot-machine card featuring, "the money couple.".... The Zen
Zone
also wants more Josh and sent a recipe from the Kane kitchen for
Beefcake
-- adding that the recipe is "not recommended for the back burner."...
There was also plenty of mail for "Ailee." Aiden Turner's Aidan is
deemed
a, "Real Man," Aidan and Greenlee were praised as, "a perfect 10."
One fan
who is not digging the idea of Ryan and Greens informed us, "I will
not
drink the, 'Rylee' Kool-Aid" and sent in a packet of Kool-Aid for good
measure. Another card begged the show to, "Free Greenlee from Ryan,"
who
was branded "abusive, controlling, back-stabbing," and so on.
- ATWT's "Nuke" fans not only had a milk-carton campaign surge, but
actually put together an impressive book of testimonial letters from
Noah
and Luke fans. It even included a "Best of" DVD. Their message? "The
World
is Ready For More Nuke! Give Luke and Noah more Airtime."... Roger
Howarth's Paul got much love from
http://sourceinterlink.r.delivery.net/r?2.1.3Ky.2gt.11g2vw.B%
5faOZ8..N.GG8
Q.1Iy.DeYAEab0. There was also a mock City Times cover announcing the,
"Ryan-Snyder Newlyweds are Having a Baby!" and a nice min-poster
wishing
Howarth a happy 40th birthday (It was on September 13). Fans from
http://sourceinterlink.r.delivery.net/r?2.1.3Ky.2gt.11g2vw.B%
5faOZ8..N.GG8
U.1Iy.DfDAEaf0 sent postcards to say, "Paul and Meg True Love
Forever."...
We also got postcards lauding Tom and Margo as, "The Best Couple in
Daytime!" and calls to put, "Recipe for Success: Tomargo" on the front
burner. One amusing card featuring a shot from the old $25000 PYRAMID
game
show and the clue: "Things Found in a Prop Room" advised the show
that the
duo, "deserve to be on the front lines -- not on prop duty!"
- B&B's Steffy and Marcus and DAYS's "Fantastic Four: Nick,
Stephanie, Max
& Melanie" got shout-outs from
http://sourceinterlink.r.delivery.net/r?2.1.3Ky.2gt.11g2vw.B%
5faOZ8..N.GG8
S.1Iy.DedQEad0. Also from DAYS, we got stacks of the Sami and Lucas
cards
from a few weeks ago and cards criticizing the direction of Lucas's
rival
EJ. One fan, unhappy with EJ's aspirations to be good, sent
a "Wanted" ad
for "Devious, devoted and desirable DiMera." And John and Marlena fans
gave out awards for "Gold Medal Ratings," "Most Sex Appeal," "Best
Chemistry," and "Hottest Romance." They also nabbed the prize
for "Best in
All-Around Sexual Gymnastics," now that's a naughty first for the
trail.
Daniel and Chelsea's creative contingent sent more gorgeous handmade
cards
to say, "True Love Always Wins" and "Keep Daniel & Chelsea Around."
There
were plenty of oohs and ahs from those of us who wish we could whip up
something so pretty. Ditto for the Steve and Kayla fans who sent the
cutest albums with pictures of the two. Of course, the cover featured
the
couple's signature yellow rose and the message, "When They Fell in
Love It
was Forever."
- GH's "LuSam" lovers (of the cookie campaign fame) actually made up
stacks of professional brochures for the duo they declare "One Sweet
Treat." The brochures include, "Top 5 Reasons Lucky & Sam Are the
Couple
to Root For..." Reason No. 1: "Lucky & Sam are Fun, Romantic &
Sexy!"....
The fans of GH's Elizabeth literally took the cake ... and the
brownie ...
and the banana bread mix and you get the picture. Their point? "GH Is
Better With Elizabeth in the Mix!"
- ABC Fans are running with the network's "Everybody's Got Their
Something" ad campaign. I got lots from two camps: Jason and Sam and
OLTL's Vega family. Mail from the Kamar de los Reyes (Antonio) Fan
Club
included cards and even a magnet for Antonio, as well as postcards for
Cristian, Carlotta and even cute little Jamie.
TYPE SET
Soap fans are a vocal bunch - see what fellow viewers are saying about
their shows.
"I love GH's Diane and Max. I hope their split isn't permanent. I want
Diane back with her bodyguard." T.D., Stamford, CT
IN PERSON
I had the great pleasure of meeting my favorite actor from DAYS, Thaao
Penghlis (Tony)! He was so gracious as to have a private dinner with
some
of his fans the night before the Juvenile Diabetes DOOL Fan Event. I
had
been hoping to meet him now for a long time. He has always been so
open
and appreciative of his fans by doing chats with us several times a
year
and posting often in his guestbook. He was so charming and welcoming
and
his fans were treated to a fun evening, complete with Greek dancing!
As
you can see by my picture, Thaao gives awesome hugs! He and his hugs
were
the hit of the fan event! I will always remember our first meeting
and how
sweet and friendly he was to me. I hope to be able to meet with him
again
sometime in the future. Marianne Roesch Johnstown, PA

TODAY AT SOAP 0PERA WEEKLY
September 19, 2008
Sure, ONE LIFE TO LIVE's Jared (John Brotherton) is wary of Jessica
(Bree
Williamson) now -- as well he should be, given his role in the
accidental
death of her husband, Nash. But she's been awfully nice to him
lately...at
least he thinks she's been awfully nice to him lately. Jared is still
clueless to the emergence of Jessica's alter, Tess, who is really
running
the show. See our We in Weekly section, where senior editor Gabrielle
Winkel praises the revenge plot.

City this fall.
OUTs
No departure news this week!
THE TOP 10 PLUS
1. With that ability to sob on command, GENERAL HOSPITAL's Claudia
should
ditch the mob and head to Hollywood.
2. If GUIDING LIGHT's Josh was so eager to sign his divorce papers and
leave Cassie, why is he still wearing his wedding ring?
3. Is anyone else wondering why Chloe's pregnancy hasn't started
showing
yet on YOUNG AND RESTLESS?
4. ABC's National Stay at Home Week is next week, so ONE LIFE TO
LIVE's
Marty and Natalie will fit right in.
5. ALL MY CHILDREN's Greenlee gave Kendall a hard time about getting
involved in other people's business -- so what exactly did she think
she
was doing when she went to Zach to talk about Kendall?
6. AS THE WORLD TURNS' Paul actually had the gall to blame Meg's high
standards for his perpetual lying problem. That's a new one.
7. If they ever had a chance of being friends, Y&R's Amber labeling
Colleen "the go-to ho" made sure that's not going to happen.
8. Forget Taylor -- maybe BOLD AND BEAUTIFUL's Jack is fussy and
disconnected because his dad keeps swapping out girlfriends like
pairs of
socks?
9. Knowing where Kyle got the milk for his Milk & Cookies Party on GH:
NIGHT SHIFT, dare we ask where the "cookies" came from?
10. Believe it or not, it seems there are more people living at DAYS
OF
OUR LIVES' DiMera mansion than there are at GH's Quartermaine estate.
11. Talk about a feat! Amber's mystery man, Liam (a.k.a. Billy
Abbott),
was on his way to becoming Y&R's most intriguing character even
before he
aired.

Keep those goodies coming...
WHY WE CLAPPED
It's not every actor who's willing to literally shave his head for the
cause, but that's not the reason we honored GENERAL HOSPITAL: NIGHT
SHIFT's Tristan Rogers with Applause, Applause kudos in Issue 40. We
did
it because Rogers sold viewers on Robert's winking bravado while also
revealing his fear and vulnerability. Robert fought the pain, but
Rogers
let it seep out through small touches, like narrowing his eyes and
firmly
setting his jaw. Rogers was tender with Robin, yet harrowing as Robert
dropped the tough-guy facade to yelp and wince in pain. We were
cringing
right along with him!

NIGHTWATCH
-From Senior Writer/Editor Joe Diliberto: HEROES returns on Monday
with a
sneak-peek show at 8 o'clock, followed by a two-hour premiere, and
while
that's a lot of HEROES on the schedule, creator Tim Kring says fans
can
look forward to a more economical style of storytelling. "There's
something that I refer to as 'haiku storytelling': It's [like] the
classic
NAME THAT TUNE [show] -- 'I can name that "tune" in four story
beats.' 'I
can name that "tune" in three story beats.' In other words, you take a
story that would normally take 10 beats to tell and you try to find a
way
to tell it in five." But don't worry that plotlines will feel choppy
and
rushed. "It makes for a very exciting kind of storytelling, where
every
scene is very complete and very full," Kring promises. HEROES assumes
its
regular, one-hour 9 p.m. slot the following Monday.
-The second season of NBC's LIPSTICK JUNGLE has been filming on the
streets of New York, and star Brooke Shields (Wendy) says it's
anything
but a jungle out there. "As a native New Yorker, I feel that the city
is
its own character," the actress and mom explains. "We have stages in
Brooklyn, the sets for our apartments, our offices, and then every
week we
go out into the city. There's a lot of street scenes. The essence of
New
York is so present. You can't go into any other city and pretend it's
Manhattan -- you really do feel it. We love it when we're on location,
because it's always a different area of New York that you want to be a
part of -- Central Park, or Times Square, or the Circle Line." Shields
assures that the production has not run into any problems with the Big
Apple's reputation for gruffness. "It's remarkable how welcoming it
is and
how easy it is to be there," she smiles. Look for Shields on the
streets
of New York Wednesdays at 10 p.m. on NBC.
-Sunday's episode of MAD MEN will be a repeat. No doubt AMC is
expecting
fans to tune in to the Emmy broadcast and cheer MAD MEN to victory.
New
episodes will resume on Sept. 28.
-Stephen Colbert jokingly tried (and failed) to sell
his "unautographed
photo of Rick Springfield downloaded from the Internet" for a cool
$350,000 on THE COLBERT REPORT. Perhaps he figured Noah's return to GH
this week would pique interest?
THE WE IN WEEKLY
-From Editorial Assistant Meridith M. Miller: On September 30, Pocket
Books is scheduled to release Guiding Light: Jonathan's Story in
paperback. For all of you Jonathan lovers out there, the paperback
version
will include an all-new chapter. I must admit, I only thumbed through
the
last book, but I'm thinking the release of the paperback is a good
excuse
to read the whole story. I didn't care much for the Tourmaline story
and
sheriff murder plot on GL, but I did always want to know more about
Jonathan's mysterious time away. I'm hoping this will one day play
out in
Springfield onscreen, but now that Tom Pelphrey (ex-Jonathan) is
reportedly in talks with GH, I'm not sure that will happen. In the
meantime, maybe I'll cozy up with the book one rainy, fall afternoon
when
I have nothing else to do.
-From Editorial Assistant Julie Globus: I am actually enjoying AMC's
recently aged character, Pete Cortlandt. Despite the fact that he is
sometimes annoying, it's usually in an endearing, Spinelli-esque kind
of
way. Even though he has been up to no good with Adam, his presence has
brought some much-needed comic relief to Pine Valley.
-From Senior Editor Gabrielle Winkel: Although few houses (I know of
none)
have mysterious secret rooms and few people have DID/multiple
personalities (I know no one), I am eating up the current OLTL
storyline
of Tess having locked up Natalie. Tess is so deliciously ruthless.
Revenge
is sweet, as Bree Williamson (Tess/Jessica) is showing us. I LOLed
when,
on Wednesday's episode, Tess looked at Natalie through the camera in
the
living room. She's a kick, although I'm glad she's not my sister.
Jessica
would be okay, but Tess, oh, please, no!
-From West Coast Editor Janet Di Lauro: Kudos to Y&R for finally
having
the good sense to bring Eileen Davidson's Ashley back to the fold. The
character's relationship with Jack has been sorely missed. While
everyone
in town is hip to Jack's antics and scheming ways, Ashley has always
been
the only one who really calls him on his behavior 24/7 and gets him to
listen. The dynamic between the two siblings is always priceless and
right
on.

SOAP OPERA DIGEST INSIDER
October 2, 2008
Greetings From The Editor
Lynn Leahey
Dear Readers,
It's no fun learning an actor you like is leaving a show, but a
departure
under happy circumstances pads the blow. I was surprised to hear that
Nicole Forester quit GL (her contract expired), but it turns out
she'll be
very busy - she's getting married this month, and having a baby in
February! Cassie will be written off, at least for now, and we wish
Nicole
all the best.... Meanwhile, DAYS scooped up two PASSIONS leading men,
Galen Gering and Eric Martsolf. "This boy's going back to work,"
Martsolf
announces in your new Digest. He'll be playing a recast Brady (Kyle
Lowder, the original Brady, will see his B&B story picking up steam,
FYI),
though that wasn't the role Martsolf tested for. "I was basically
presented with the fact that I did not get the role I was reading
for, so
I was initially disappointed, but in the same breath they said, 'But
we
want you to come back as Brady.'" Get the details on that, as well as
Gering's take on working with Alison Sweeney, in the new issue.
TALES FROM THE INTERVIEW
Devin Owens: When I happily informed Lesli Kay (Felicia, B&B) that
she was
chosen as part of Digest's annual Soaps' Most Beautiful Women issue
(which
hit stands last Tuesday), she was actually standing in her underwear.
Let
me explain. That's because I was covering a photo shoot dubbed
Daytime For
Obama, where soap stars modeled designer skivvies sporting the face of
presidential candidate Barack Obama. Lesli was thrilled about my news
and
a week later, we chatted on the phone for not only Beautiful Women but
also her soul-baring feature that appears in the new issue. Believe
me,
you don't to want to miss this story because it contains some funny
and
really honest details that Lesli assures she had never told another
reporter.
Tom Stacy: In the new Digest, you'll see that we had soap co-stars
interviewing each other. But rather than go with actors who normally
work
opposite each other, I thought it'd be fun to put together two of GH's
most comedic characters, Bradford Anderson (Spinelli) and Carolyn
Hennesy
(Diane). Needless to say, they did not disappoint. We did the
interview on
a conference call, so here's the opening - once I figured out how to
stop
disconnecting them!
Bradford Anderson: Hello, gorgeous. How are you?
Carolyn Hennesy: Hi handsome. I'm swimmingly well. I'm super groovy.
Soap
Opera Digest: So, this is going to be a quick, fun free-for-all.
Hennesy:
Kind of like my sex life. Anderson: A-oh! Hennesy: And we're off!
Anderson: My first question is a short one. I'm at the Home Depot now
and
my question is, would you be my date the next time I come to the Home
Depot? Hennesy: Are you kidding? I'll show you where all the lug nuts
are.
I'll lead you down the grout aisle. Anderson: I'm looking at mulch
today.
That's what I'm here for. Hennesy: Mulch is fantastic! Anderson: I
freaking love it. Hennesy: But now here's my question. Why do you
assume
that I would be a Home Depot kind of gal? I appreciate it, but it's
not
quite where I wanted my image to go. Anderson: Here's the thing.
Everyone
who knows you knows how beautiful you are but not everyone knows how
industrious you might be and I know that with the [current]
renovations
with your house, and just the way you talk and the way you carry
yourself,
that you know your way around a Home Depot ? and I think that's
incredibly
sexy. Hennesy: Good cover. Anderson: Thank you. Hennesy: Exceptionally
good cover - I'll take it!
And that was just the beginning.... And until I get to interview our
newsletter editor Elaine G. Flores for a similar piece, check out the
rest
of this hilarious exchange in the new issue of Digest.
CAMPAIGN TRAIL
Elaine G. Flores: This week, I was surprised to find a big bag filled
with
shiny, new yellow pencils on my desk. The pencils are from the fans of
GH's Lucky and Sam and bear the message: "Learning to Love Again" and
"Learning to Trust Again." (I'd like to see that some schoolchildren
get
these pencils, but unless their class is filled with LuSam fans, I'm
afraid that such an adult sentiment might get some little kid
ostracized.)
Sam's portrayer Kelly Monaco also got lots of love via postcards
congratulating her on her fifth anniversary on GH. There's also a Port
Charles devotee from Garden City, NY who insists that Sonny belongs
only
with the late Emily (Natalia Livingston).
? The folks rallying for more of DAYS's Steve and Kayla made up some
very
nice T-shirts to express their displeasure with the "missing" pair.
There
were also postcards featuring an image of Chelsea and Daniel on the
night
they nearly had sex and a plea to reunite the duo. In other DAYS news,
there's already support for newbie Melanie and Nick, who
are, "putting it
all on the line." The DAYS writers also got props for EJ and Nicole's,
"emotional and character-driven scenes at the Brady Pub on September
18."
? The "Nuke" lovers had something new this week, colorful birthday
greetings for ATWT's Van Hansis (Luke), whose big day was on
September 25.
The fans cheered, "You Rock our World!" There was also an unusual
postcard
honoring Roger Howarth's Paul. The card from The RHFactor depicted his
face in nearly every billboard looming over N.Y.C.'s Times Square.
? Fans of AMC's Zach and Kendall made up fliers, cards and packets
touting
"AMC's Miracle Couple." The cards promised that more of the pair would
make "Ratings Grow." I expected to find garden seeds in the packets as
part of the making things grow theme, but was surprised to see hard
candy.
I guess they're thinking about making waistlines grow, too. We're
still
getting complaints about Ryan and Greenlee with the message, "I will
NOT
drink the Kool-Aid! Aidan and Greenlee are my couple now and always!"
? Finally, the gang at

2a9K8Y..N.Gzg
k.1Ne.DfdOEbW0 have welcomed newcomer Eden to Y&R with a card
celebrating
the Baldwins.
TYPE SET
Soap fans are a vocal bunch - see what fellow viewers are saying about
their shows.
I'm a huge Terri Colombino [Katie] fan and have loved all the Katie
pairings (yes, even Jack and Katie) on ATWT. But Brad's refusal to
take
responsibility for the Leo crisis and his macho overprotectiveness of
Liberty has convinced me that he's not "the one" for Katie.
Sure "Bratie"
was cute at the beginning, but that's not enough to make a marriage
last.
S.W., via the Internet
IN PERSON
It has been almost a year since my mother and I had the wonderful
pleasure
of visiting the B&B studio and we still talk about it frequently. Mom
and
I are both diehard fans (from episode No. 1), so it was a true thrill
for
both of us. We were allowed access to wardrobe and makeup as well as
the
video and sound rooms. I cannot say enough about the kindness of all
the
staff. In particular, [Domestic Publicity Coordinator] Jennifer
Mulhall
and [Associate Producer] Casey Kasprzyk went above and beyond to make
sure
our experience was the best it could be. We toured much of the studio
and
met almost every single cast member. Our first encounter was with
William
DeVry [ex-Storm] in the offices immediately upon our arrival. Then it
was
Winsor Harmon [Thorne] in the hall and John McCook [Eric] upon
entering
the set. Mr. McCook was incredibly inviting and made us feel
comfortable
right away. We had the pleasure of meeting Daniel McVicar [Clarke] who
spent a great deal of time with us. After that, we met the delightful
Lesley-Anne Down [Jackie] and [Ridge's portrayer] Ronn Moss
(Oh ,my!). It
was a true honor to meet Susan Flannery [Stephanie] who also took
extra
time to talk with Mom and me. Leslie Kay [Felicia] graciously stopped
to
speak to us on her way out and even made a special trip back with
photos
of the cast to sign. We met Jack Wagner [Nick] and the beautiful
Katherine
Kelly Lang [Brooke] took a quick moment to visit with us even though
she
didn't really have time as she was rushing to the set to block a
scene. We
saw MacKenzie Maury [Phoebe] briefly as she was on her way out
(appreciating a short day and looking forward to seeing her
grandparents).
And then there was Kyle Lowder [Rick]. Have I said, "oh, my"? Oh my,
my.?
We were lucky to catch Jennifer Gareis [Donna] as we were leaving the
set
? albeit much earlier than we wanted. What an incredible experience.
What
beautiful people. This show is aptly named and I am so grateful for
the
opportunity that Mom and I had to spend a little time with such
wonderful
folks. Thanks CBS & THANKS B&B! Jennifer O' Brien
I saw Laura Wright (Carly, GH) in Los Olivos, CA several months ago.
She
was at Mattei's Tavern with her husband and two children. She was very
pleasant and pointed out her husband and son and introduced me to her
daughter. Always fun to see someone you watch on TV and have them be
so
nice! Susan Wright
I had the pleasure of meeting Ron Raines [Alan, GL] when he came to
Maine
[last] summer to perform at the music theater here.... I was able to
say
hello to him and he did autograph one of his CDs for me. This man has
an
incredible voice and it was an evening I will never forget. Jolie

James E. Reilly Dead at 60
Legendary head writer James E. Reilly (DAYS OF OUR LIVES, PASSIONS)
passed away over the weekend. He was 60. Jonathan Russo, Reilly's
agent and friend for over 25 years, says Reilly had been recovering
from cardiac surgery when he died suddenly in the hospital. His
beloved sister Cathy Robinson was by his side. "James Reilly was one
of the most profoundly lovely human beings in our industry. He was a
towering person in our industry who had a tremendous faith in God and
Catholicism, as anyone who watched PASSIONS knows. Everyone will miss
him," adds Russo. There are no funeral plans. There may be a memorial
service at a later date.

SOAP OPERA DIGEST INSIDER
October 16, 2008
Greetings From The Editor
Lynn Leahey
Dear Readers,
Victor's in the thick of story on Y&R, but we hear about the
character a
whole lot more than we see him. That's because Eric Braeden took a
hike -
to Romania and Germany. And it wasn't just any vacation. "It was the
city
of Hamburg where I applied for my immigration papers 50 years ago," he
tells Digest. "I talked about my experience at a museum there because
I
came over on a boat. It's a very wrenching moment when you leave at
the
age of 18 with a suitcase in your hand." Braeden returned to Germany
with
a lot more than a suitcase - he screened his movie, called,
appropriately
enough, The Man Who Came Back. "I had a marvelous time," smiles the
actor.
Read more about Braeden's trip, and Victor's explosive announcement,
in
your new issue.
TALES FROM THE INTERVIEW
Stephanie Sloane: I was in Los Angeles last month and was lucky
enough to
spend two days at the DAYS studio. I had the opportunity to sit down
with
Arianne Zucker (Nicole) for a long chat for the first time since she
returned to Salem. Zucker had just come off of a 50+ page day, yet
graciously waited around to chat with me in her dressing room about
her
second time around in Salem. We touched on everything, from working
with
James Scott (EJ) and Drake Hogestyn (John) to talking about her
marriage
to Kyle Lowder (Rick, B&B; ex-Brady, DAYS) in the press to her
friendship
with that other real-life duo, Nadia Bjorlin (Chloe) and Brandon
Beemer
(Owen, B&B; ex-Shawn, DAYS). We also touched on the pregnancy story,
which
she admitted makes her yearn for one of her own. "Since I've been 21,
I
have been like, 'Oh, I can't wait to have kids. Oh, I'm not ready.
Oh, I
can't wait to have kids,' " she said. "In my personal life, I have so
many
friends who have babies or just had babies. Ali [Sweeney, Sami] is
pregnant and I've got my three nieces and now my character is
pregnant. I
feel like, 'Okay, okay I get it! It's time.' I cannot wait to get
pregnant. I think it's exciting and so darn amazing. I am completely
fascinated by it." Check out what else Zucker has to say in the next
issue
of Digest.
Erika Martinez: After only a few minutes with Noelle Beck (Lily,
ATWT),
you feel as if you're chatting with an old friend. The actress's warm
and
inviting demeanor made interviewing her for the new issue of Digest
such a
treat. Over breakfast in NYC's Union Square, Beck opened up about how
she
won the role of Lily following Martha Byrne's shocking exit earlier
this
year and how she is enjoying her new gig. Despite her high-profile
occupation, Beck appears incredibly centered and is totally down-to-
earth.
A devoted wife and mother (it's hard to believe she's had three
kids!),
she made sure she had her brood's stamp of approval before joining
ATWT.
You can read more about her and her alter ego in the on page 44.
CAMPAIGN TRAIL
Elaine G. Flores: After a brief lull, the campaigners were out in
full-force this week.
-- Fans of DAYS's Lucas and Sami made the most noise, sending in well
over
100 cards from Second Chances The LUMI Mega-Site at
http://sourceinterlink.r.delivery.net/r?2.1.3Ky.2gt.11eqqO.B%
2aVzvy..N.HjJ
Y.1Tm.NLKEfQ00 . The cards featured a gallery of Lumi shots and
included
messages on the back to, "Reunite Lucas and Sami!".... DAYS fans also
kept
up the drumbeat for more Steve and Kayla with a smattering of cards
asking, "WTHAS&K?" a.k.a. Where the hell are Steve and Kayla? The
cards
featured an impressive modern-looking graphic. Barbara of Tucson, AZ
sent
in a "Yesterday, Today, Forever" card featuring this hand-written
poem on
the back: "Roses are yellow/Leather is black/We need Steve &
Kayla/Please
bring them back."... There were also a few cards featuring Daniel and
Chelsea who share, "a love that won't be denied" and "a love like no
other." One writer, Liz, sent a card decreeing that the duo "are the
future," wrote, "I hope DAYS doesn't end this couple before they have
been
given a chance to succeed."
-- The JaSam crew is continuing to send in the "Precious Moments" post
cards for GH's Jason and Sam, there was also a new one noting, "You
may
have torn them apart, but you can't erase JaSam. Hollie of Salem, OR
wrote, "Fans have not forgotten that they share a rich history, which
should be showcased, not erased!"... The rival camp, who are rooting
for
Jason and Elizabeth, are gearing up for another operation. I received
a
couple of index cards with the note: "They talked about it years ago.
They
nearly made it there recently. It's time to give Jason and Elizabeth a
real taste of Italy!" These were accompanied by packages of Stella
D'oro
anisette toast cookies and chocolate Nonni's biscotti.... Natalia
Livingston (ex-Emily) got a shout-out from a fan stating that "Sonny
Needs
a Friend." There was also a card for Sonny and Kate,
announcing, "Can't
Resist Skate." Someone also made a couple of posters promoting Johnny
and
Lulu, asserting that the duo is "Better Together."
-- Natalie may have moved on to Jared, but that is not deterring some
OLTL
fans, who sent a flurry of cards proclaiming, "Chemistry 101 Jolie No
Lessons Needed."
-- The Zen Zone at
http://sourceinterlink.r.delivery.net/r?2.1.3Ky.2gt.11eqqO.B%
2aVzvy..N.HjJ
a.1Tm.OBKEfY00 sent in decks of cards featuring "AMC's Destiny Couple"
Zach and Kendall. The cards were accompanied by a quote from Head
Writer
Charles Pratt, Jr. saying, "I'm moving into a huge story.... It's
going to
basically reshuffle the deck." The fans crowed, "No matter how you
shuffle
the deck, it always comes up Zen!".... There were also several cards
decrying a Ryan and Greenlee pairing and promoting "Team Ailee,"
a.k.a..
Aidan and Greens.
-- ATWT viewers at
http://sourceinterlink.r.delivery.net/r?2.1.3Ky.2gt.11eqqO.B%
2aVzvy..N.HjJ
c.1Tm.OGaEfa00 sent another card rooting for Paul and Meg's baby,
cutely
decorated with an oversized plastic diaper pin and a pink ribbon....
We
also got a trickle of cards for Carly and Jack. One fan
demanded, "Enough
Angst & Obstacles! Time is Up! Reunite Carjack!".... After a recent
deluge
from fans of Noah and Luke, the troops were quieter this week, but
still
sent in a couple of milk carton cards and the 10-01-08 kiss cards from
last week.

What's an essential item of your makeup regimen?
Nazanin Boniadi (Leyla, GH) says, "My No. 1 thing to carry, if I

carry around anything else, is concealer. That's my secret weapon. I
like
Clé de peau." For more information, check out:

TYPE SET
Soap fans are a vocal bunch - see what fellow viewers are saying about
their shows.
I love Colby and Pete banding together against Adam on AMC! Colby may
not
like what Pete did, but I love all of it! There's something so
complicated
and human about those two together that it works. Brianne Moncrief
[Colby]
and Daniel Kennedy [Pete] have developed a chemistry that just leaves
you
wanting to see more! I'm glad this relationship hasn't been rushed,
because the buildup with these characters makes me want to tune in!
C.H.,
Seattle, WA
IN PERSON
I wanted to share my picture of Grayson McCouch (Dusty) on his first
day
back to the ATWT set. Even though he had a busy filming day and about
a
hundred people he had to stop and see, he still took the time to
pose. He
is an incredible person, down-to-earth and the way he looks at you
makes
you blush. Welcome back, Grayson! Lisa Melgar
While attending a matinee of The Little Mermaid on Broadway. I was
outside
at intermission and noticed actress Paige Turco. She was with her
family
[I felt bad about approaching her]. As we went inside in the lobby, I
couldn't contain myself any longer and went up to her. She was the
nicest,
sweetest star I ever meet. I have followed her career from AMC [as
Lainey]
up till now and always thought of her as a very talented and beautiful
actress so it was such a pleasure meeting her. She was so gracious to
introduce me to her husband Jason O'Mara and beautiful son. Jason was
equally as nice and very handsome. I am looking forward to seeing his
new
series LIFE ON MARS. I wish them both luck and happiness in their
future
careers. I just want to thank them for such a nice encounter and their
hard work as actors. Carol Ann Biase, Harrison, NJ

THE TOP 10 PLUS
1. How funny was GENERAL HOSPITAL's Maxie bossing Jason around? That
was
the perfect comic relief. And it was impressive that he actually got
Maxie
the correct magazines!
2. Thank goodness that ONE LIFE TO LIVE's Viki is finally back at
Llanfair! Maybe she can channel her inner Niki Smith to take care of
the
disaster Tess has caused...
3. Now that ALL MY CHILDREN is about to be ravaged by the tornado of
the
century, maybe somebody could remind the architects that Pine Valley
used
to be a small town, not a city.
4. Margo's John Dixon shout-out to Dusty on AS THE WORLD TURNS raises
one
important question: Where the heck is John Dixon?
5. Well, of course BOLD AND BEAUTIFUL's Owen comforted Donna while
shirtless. It's what he does!
6. It might be time for AMC's Greenlee to invest in a sturdier door.
It
was awfully easy for Ryan to break it down.
7. YOUNG AND RESTLESS' Lily freaked over Colleen taking over her Fresh
Face of Jabot gig, but had no problem with her BFF hooking up with her
ex-hubby, Daniel.
8 DAYS OF OUR LIVES' EJ is giving dad Stefano a run for his money
when it
comes to fathering Salem kiddies.
9. It's hard to determine what's worse -- watching Dinah and Grady
make
out on GUIDING LIGHT, or watching Kate and Daniel make love on DAYS.
10. With some soaps sticking with the same stories we've seen 100
times --
like B&B's Brooke and Taylor fighting over Ridge ? don't you miss the
sometimes ridiculous yet always entertaining antics of PASSIONS?
11. The ever-outspoken David Letterman called the McCain/Obama
political
battle a soap opera on Wednesday night, labeling it "The Old and the
Restless."
FOR YOUR EYES ONLY
More items next week...
MAILBAG
Keep those goodies coming...
WHY WE CLAPPED
GUIDING LIGHT's Jessica Leccia portrayed Natalia as a mixture of
frightened and fierce as she struggled to find a way to keep her son
out
of prison. With Rafe, Leccia was all misty eyes and vulnerability. But
that softness vanished when Natalia defended her intention to submit
to
sleazy lawyer Russo's physical demands. Leccia managed the tricky
feat of
looking determined to do something she loathed. But we loved awarding
her
Applause, Applause kudos for Issue 44.

NIGHTWATCH
-From Senior Writer/Editor Joe Diliberto: It was almost midnight on
Wednesday, and I was in a foul mood because I'd just come home after
watching my beloved New York Rangers lose at Madison Square Garden,
when I
remembered that I'd taped PUSHING DAISIES earlier in the evening.
Although
it was late, I decided to give DAISIES a few moments to see if it
grabs my
attention. Never fear: I was hooked from the moment I saw little
Olive dig
up a triceratops skeleton in her front yard. Within 10 minutes, I had
completely forgotten that a few hours earlier, I had paid $8.75 for a
beer
to watch my boys lose, and was transported to the convent where Olive
uncovered a murder mystery. It wasn't long before she summoned Ned,
Chuck
and Emerson to investigate. When they arrived, Emerson claimed they
were
"Father Dowling," "Father Mulcahy" and "Sister Christian" of
the "Vatican
Police." Of course, Dowling was the name of the crime-solving priest
played by Tom Bosley in THE FATHER DOWLING MYSTERIES on TV. Mulcahy
was
the chaplain played by William Christopher at the 4077th on M*A*S*H.
And
"Sister Christian" is the name of a power ballad released by the band
Night Ranger in 1983.
The "murder" turned out to be an accident perpetrated by a
truffle-sniffing pig against an ersatz nun who was using the convent
as a
cover to genetically engineer truffles.
It is precisely this endearingly over-the-top, skewed take on
storytelling
that makes me love this show so much. Any other detective series would
have used a plot about, oh, probably drugs, but black-market lip
gloss and
fashion mags? Artificial Italian white truffles? Hah. The feather-
light
touch of the script and eye-poppingly colorful staging (teal nuns'
habits)
makes things like a nun tumbling to her death from a bell tower
palatable
(even fun -- really). And the characters are so bizarre, they are
utterly
captivating. Could Chuck be any more bright and sunny, even if she
weren't
dead? And Ned's reluctance to revive the deceased Sister Larue with a
crucifix in the room was just the kind of personality quirk that
makes him
endearing. How soapy was it when Chuck discovered that her Aunt Lily
is
secretly her birth mother? And how can you not love a show that ends
with
Chuck tearfully filling in a family tree she began way back in third
grade
as a "family stump"? I am declaring myself a PUSHING DAISIES pusher.
THE WE IN WEEKLY
-From News Editor Mala Bhattacharjee: I can't say enough good things
about
GH: NIGHT SHIFT. No, seriously, I can't. It's a little sick. Go check
out
my blog at
http://sourceinterlink.r.delivery.net/r?2.1.3Ky.2gt.11eqqO.B%
2aXJpy..N.I5G
S.1UO.FQEbC000 and pick up the next two issues of Weekly, and you'll
see
what I'm talking about. I need an intervention, stat. It's starting to
border on lunatic. Luckily for you all, and unluckily for me, NS wraps
this coming Tuesday, Oct. 21. Check it out if you haven't yet.
-From Editorial Assistant Julie Globus: As anyone who reads Weekly
knows,
I am grateful to Brandon Beemer for inadvertently introducing me to my
fiancé. However, I do have a bone to pick with his B&B character,
Owen.
Owen claims he is Donna's friend and that he loves her, and yet he
shows
no respect for her repeated request that he keep his amorous
intentions to
himself. Every time he finds her in a moment of vulnerability, he
starts
trying to make out with her. Bad Owen.
-From Editorial Assistant Meridith M. Miller: Don't you love a good
soap
payoff? I got mine on Wednesday, when Y&R's Daniel showed up at
Amber's
door to tell her he loved her. When they kissed, I seriously felt
butterflies. I love the couple, and I'm happy Daniel has finally
forgiven
Amber. The breakdown of their relationship, from the moment Daniel
returned from touring with Danny and learned Amber slept with Adrian,
to
the minute he embraced her on Wednesday, was written splendidly. I've
really enjoyed it. They are a couple with love and passion. They're
fun
and flawed, and a treat to watch. The best part about Daniel and
Amber's
reunion is that opportunistic traitor Colleen got exactly what she
deserves for betraying Lily -- dumped!
IT'S MY PARTY
-From Senior Editor Gabrielle Winkel: I get to go to a lot of
interesting
events. One is the semiannual New York Resort and Spa Expo. What's the
soap connection? Soap, perhaps? Well, yes, but I like to go to those
trade
shows to find fun things to incorporate in the Free Stuff column in
Soap
Opera Weekly. It's fascinating to see the great products that people
come
up with. There are a lot of interesting gadgets and concepts out
there.
Well, I got to experience what you'll soon be reading about -- kissing
fish. (I'm also writing about this because they sent me a photo
of...me!...having my hands treated by these kissing fish.) Apparently,
this is the rage in Japan, but instead of clipping and picking at the
dead
skin on your hands -- especially the cuticles, which you are probably
picking at right now; I know I will once I finish typing -- you dip
your
hand in a bowl filled with these teeny-tiny fish and they nibble the
skin
off. As I write this, I realize it sounds really gross. But they
tickled!
And my hands were more smooth. Note the pictures; don't I look happy?
There's no fear there. For more information on fish as beauty aids,

Soap Vet Joins AMC
AMC has cast Frank Runyeon, who rose to soap fame in the 1980s as one
half of the supercouple Steve and Betsy (Meg Ryan was the other half),
to play the recurring role of Forrest Williams, Reese's (Tamara Braun)
father. He'll start taping in mid-November, the actor (whose close
friend, Chuck Pratt, is AMC's head writer) tells Digest. Expect some
tension when Forrest hits the scene; Pratt told Digest that Reese's
family was not as accepting of her sexual orientation as Bianca's
family ultimately proved to be of hers.

Meet the Latest Corinthos
Ex-'Young and the Restless' Star Has Been Chosen to Play Dante
By Maria Ciaccia, About.com
After much speculation, the role of Dante Falconeri, the son Olivia
(Lisa LoCicero) hid from Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) all these
years, has been cast. Dante will be played by David Lago, a 2005
Daytime Emmy Award Winner for his role as Raul Guitierrez on The Young
and the Restless. Lago played Raul for five years.
The 29-year-old California native has been active in show business
since 1997. Before landing a part on The Young and the Restless, While
best know for his role of Raul Gutierrez on The Young and the
Restless, Lago played Jeremy on the WB series 7th Heaven and starred
in a series for the Animal Planet Network, Hollywood Safari. He also
appeared on several television shows, including Step by Step,
Dangerous Minds and Pacific Blue.
Since departing The Young and the Restless in 2005, Lago has appeared
in eight independent films and formed his own production company, Lago
films. His company debuted with a short drama, Obsidere, in 2007.
An accomplished musician, Lago has a band, panacea, in which he plays
several instruments and sings.
Now he adds to his busy schedule by taking what promises to be the
intense role of Dante. Dante has no idea that his father is mobster
Sonny Corinthos, and from his conversations with his mother Olivia,
believes that Corinthos is a man to be feared.
Well, pretty soon, Dante will be calling Sonny "Daddy."

THIS WEEK ON: GUIDING LIGHT
Olivia gives Natalia a list of things to do, and leaves the hospital
to do her webcast. Olivia tells Natalia how much she appreciates all
her help. Daisy finds a badly bruised Rafe who pleads with her not to
tell Natalia. Desperate to help Rafe, Daisy turns to Grady who takes
bitterly to her new interest.
The Inside Story: Plot Trouble
Dinah promises Grady she'll get him his money in exchange for
returning Lizzie safely. Over Alan's protest, Mallet helps Bill out of
a jam when he explodes after running into another dead end in the
search for Lizzie. Lizzie stabs into the van, which causes a leak.
Dinah fails at her attempt to steal the ransom and later finds Grady
reeling outside the house after a tense exchange with Lizzie. Dinah
manages to sneak a cell phone with its speaker on into the house
unnoticed. Dinah tells Grady that the deal is off and they need to
cover their tracks. Lizzie cries out to Bill when she suddenly hears
his voice coming out of the cell. Bill explodes when the call suddenly
cuts off and he's told it can't be traced. Meanwhile, an angry Grady
stomps the cell phone and approaches Lizzie with a sharp object. A
troubled Dinah is poised to confess when she learns that Lizzie hasn't
been found yet. Billy tries to talk some sense into a drunken Bill.
Bill finds the white van and an item that belongs to Lizzie. Bill
follows the leak the van left to a factory and knocks out the masked
man he finds. Bill runs into the factory screaming for Lizzie and the
two are finally reunited. Bill tells Lizzie how he found her and then
calls the police. Dinah is relieved when she learns that Bill didn't
see the kidnapper's face. Grady manages to escape just as Bill is
about to unmask him. Grady covers his tracks with Daisy. Bill
confesses to Lizzie that he loves her and that he can't live without her.

Greetings From The Editor
Lynn Leahey
It was a tough couple of weeks for the soap industry, which saw the
passing of three daytime legends. Emmy winning Irene Dailey, who played
AW's Liz for 20 years, died on September 24 at the age of 88. AMC's Eileen
Herlie (Myrtle) passed away at age 90 on October 8. Both actresses were
respected and beloved by co-stars and fans, as evidenced by the outpouring
of affection upon their deaths, a response that was still reverberating
when the news came that on October 12, James E. Reilly had died at age 60
after heart surgery. Reilly, a brilliant, fearless writer, was best known
as the creator of PASSIONS and two-time head writer of DAYS. We offer the
friends and family of these three daytime treasures our deepest sympathy.
How lucky for all of us that stars who shone this bright were in our
orbit.
Tales From The Interview
Naomi Rabinowitz
During my chat with Elizabeth Hendrickson (Chloe, Y&R; ex-Maggie, AMC),
the actress admitted that she had some reservations about playing a bitch
on Y&R, especially since she was so beloved on AMC. "I was a little
worried about people not liking me or thinking that I'm that way in real
life," she says. "I don't think I am ? or at least I try to be nice
[laughs]."
Still, she's learned to embrace Chloe's not-so-nice tendencies. "She gets
some great lines," Hendrickson notes. "She's definitely one of the funnier
characters on the show and one of the funniest I've played. Sometimes I'll
ad-lib a little, but for the most part, the writers are great at what they
do. They give her some wonderfully snarky things to say. She definitely
speaks her mind!"
That said, she's happy to report that Chloe's getting a positive reaction
from fans. "Now that we're getting to know her and see how she has hardly
any friends or a relationship with her mom, you realize that there's a
reason she's not the nicest," says Hendrickson. "I think people see that
she is vulnerable and like seeing that softer side. But at the same time,
they like that she has an edge. She's turned out to be a much more complex
character than she was when I first started on the show, which I love."
For more on Hendrickson, check out her feature in the new issue.
Mara Levinsky
As of this week, David's back on AMC ? did you miss him? I certainly
missed getting to interact with his portrayer, Vincent Irizarry, a
sweetheart of a man who's been sorely missed among his castmates. Bobbie
Eakes (Krystal), for one, is thrilled. "For me and for my character, it?s
the chance to get into all of that untapped stuff that we never got to do
and I always wanted to do," she says of the Krystal/David relationship.
"We had some story together, but no real connection. And what we?ve been
taping has been really good."
I spoke to Vincent by phone for this week's issue,
then saw him at the studio later in the week when I went to the party
celebrating the taping of AMC's 10,000th episode. He told me a hilarious
story about going to Italy to celebrate a GL anniversary (the show is
hugely popular there, and was toasted with a primetime special) back when
he was on that show as Nick. I'd try to repeat it, but I can't do it
justice without Vincent running around the rehearsal hall to emulate the
chaos that occurred when a very poorly planned, high-energy GL trivia
contest was waged at a TV studio as part of the celebration. In any event,
see this week's issue for more with the man they call Dr. Evil (on-screen,
anyway).
Campaign Trail
Elaine G. Flores
Uh, yeah, so Friday morning I?m watching GL at my desk when the mail
arrives and I received a very unusual item from Courtney in Fort Wayne,
IN. She?s a fan of Y&R?s Lily and Cane. How big a fan, you ask? She writes
that she?s, ?Dropping my panties for Daytime?s Hottest Couple!? Yes, this
Y&R devotee literally dropped drawers into the mail. The size 6 aqua
undies were embellished with a Tootsie Pop as part of the ?Lollies and
Lingerie for Lane!? drive. A few days later, I received coral Fruit of the
Loom unmentionables from another fan, Carolyn of Desoto. TX. She wrote the
duo?s name with a felt marker on the back of the bottoms and included some
lollypops. Beth of Cincinnati, OH didn?t drop trou, but she did send
lollies, noting, ?I?m a sucker for Lane! I love Lily and Cane as well as
their portrayers, Christel Khalil and Daniel Goddard.?
I thought that would be the most out of the ordinary campaign material
this week until this morning when I got called into my boss?s office ? cue
dramatic music. As it turned out, she wanted to show me the ginormous
assortment of balls on her floor. Golf balls, Wiffle balls, tennis balls,
basketballs, footballs, bouncy balls,
balls-that-I-don?t-even-know-what-you-do-with-them-balls. Some DAYS fans
(Teresa from Texas, Meredith of Washington State, Ivonne from New York and
Tammy of Indiana) sent the balls to protest what they see as the
emasculation of DAYS?s DiMera men. These ladies were not pleased to see
Stefano babysitting and are vexed that EJ has, ?become the manipulatee
[sic] instead of the manipulator.? They also are annoyed that Tony is on
the back burner and so are asking, ?Please help us make sure that the
DiMera men get their balls back.? Well, I think this might be the one time
when I can safely say that the fans went balls out to make a point.
Those ballsy fans weren?t the only Salemites raising a ruckus this week.
We got stacks of mail from competing camps ?Lumi? and ?Ejami.? How lucky
is Alison Sweeney (Sami) to have two such fervent fan bases? The crew over
at Second Chances the Lumi Mega-Site sent a hearty amount of new cards
featuring pictures of Sami and Lucas and the words ?Live, Laugh, Love.?
Their rivals sent a similar amount of the ?Wanted? and ?Aspiring to be
Good; Born to be Bad? postcards that we?ve been getting over the past few
weeks, along with a couple of new ones. One features an attractive
sepia-toned shot of James Scott (EJ) and the warning, ?DAYS, Don?t Lose
This Man.? ... We?re also still getting a variety of creative postcards to
demand more Steve and Kayla, but this week the fans also sent goods. We
received a really nice ?WTHAS&K? T-Shirt from fans pondering, ?Where the
hell are Steve and Kayla?? There was also an orange tote bag devoted to
the duo. It featured a to-do list:
Go to the cleaners...
Get some groceries...
Wash the car...
Wash the dog...
Pick up the kids from soccer practice...
Do two loads of laundry...
Meet the girls for lunch...
Check with the babysitter for Friday night...
And...
Find out what the HECK happened to Steve & Kayla!!!
Fans of ATWT?s Luke and Noah are HOPEful. They have started a witty
election-themed drive featuring a red, white and blue card touting the
?Couple We Can Believe In: Snyder-Mayer ?08.? Okay, guys, I?m with you,
but don?t start e-mailing me for donations.... Oakdalers also sent a
birthday greeting for Marie Wilson (Meg), whose big day was on October
12.... And there?s a fan in Reno, NV who comes up with a number of funny
cards to root for Tom and Margo. The latest batch included a shot of the
duo at Al?s, ?now under new management? because as Tom explains to his
wife, ?You got a better way for me to get seen??... We?ve also been
hearing regularly from a fan in Grand Rapids, MI who wants the show to
?Reunite Carly & Jack.? One card noted, ?It may be Halloween, but it?s not
nice to trick the viewers!? and another showed Carly extending an apple
and urged, ?Give in to temptation.? GHers sent an array of cards, ?In
Loving Memory of Baby Lila McCall,? Sam?s daughter with Sonny who died on
November 8, 2004. Some of the cards featured Sam being comforted by
Jason.... There was also more love for Sonny and Kate, who one fan decrees
is, ?THE reason I watch.? Team Slater lovers sent cards letting AMC know
that ?Zach & Kendall And Their Fans? are ?Unbreakable.? Some other fans
sent a funny cartoon to air grievances over Bianca becoming pregnant by
Zach or as they put it, ?My lesbian sister?s daughter is my husband?s
baby... And my son?s cousin is also his sister.? ?This is ALL MY CHILDREN.
Same thing as SPRINGER,? sums up one of the card?s cartoon characters....
A fan from Boston is cranking out the pro Aidan and Greenlee cards,
trumpeting that ?Ailee = Love.? Finally, OLTL is still hearing from fans
of Natalie and John. One features Snow White?s evil queen crowing,
?Mirror, our evil plan to destroy the fans of John and Natalie is working
... bwahhhh.? The mirror responds, ?Your poison may have worked ... but
the love for John and Natalie never dies ? it?s only sleeping.?...
Langston and Markko?s recent scenes got praise from soapteenscom, who are
?glad to see a focus? on the duo.

Soap fans are a vocal bunch ? see what fellow viewers are saying about
their shows. Thanks for giving me a place to sound off regarding the NIGHT
SHIFT finale and Head Writer Sri Rao's depiction of Robert Scorpio's
history. To see the townhouse where Robert lived as a happily married man
was great for all of us longtime fans. That being said, where was Holly
Scorpio (aside from a cursory mention from another character)? Emma
Samms's availability aside, they couldn't use a flashback to honor Holly
and Robert's relationship? Robert couldn't have a fond memory of her?
There has got to be plenty of footage available in the GH archives! Robert
and Holly Scorpio were a beloved, memorable couple who were an '80s
supercouple. Back when GH was at the top of the ratings. For all NS2's
bragging about respecting history, they seriously missed the mark. M.S.,

In Person
We were at the Girls Day Out Fair at the South Point Casino in Las Vegas,
Nevada. The two soap stars appearing were supposed to be GH?s Greg Vaughan
(Lucky) and Brandon Barash (Johnny). We were told that Greg wouldn't be
able to make it because his grandfather had passed away (we are so sorry
Greg for your loss!) so at the last minute, Laura Wright (Carly) who was
staying out at Lake Las Vegas with her family on vacation offered to step
in for him. How wonderful of her was that? She was adorable and so
beautiful in person and sweet and funny! She posed for me to take a pic of
her! I'll never forget that Sandy, Las Vegas, NV
My husband and I traveled to New Orleans last week to see Eric Braeden's
The Man Who Came Back at the New Orleans Film Festival. He attended the
showing and a party before. A very nice guy. A very good movie also.
Donna Boumans, Lafayette, LA
In August, while attending a performance of Les Miserables in Brunswick,
Maine, I spied Ron Raines (Alan, GL) in the lobby. I took my chances on
approaching him, not knowing how he felt about fans infringing on his
private time. He was most gracious and gave me a hug. I was visiting in
Maine, as I live in Anchorage, Alaska, and we conversed about his and his
wife's trip to Anchorage to perform at a theater back in the 1990s. Ron
was in town to perform at the Maine State Music Theater on Monday night;
alas, they were sold out; not so good for me, but great for this very
talented man. Laurel Goodwin
I have been watching B&B since its premiere episode. Although I did not
meet him personally, I was at a Dodger game on Sept. 23 where Kyle Lowder
(Rick) sang the national anthem. WOW, what a voice ? I did not realize he
sings. Instead of mutilating the anthem (which so many singers do in
public appearances!) he stuck to the original melody without "enhancement"
and did a truly beautiful job! I do wish others would follow his example.

A Nope, that was "In My Arms" by Plumb. "That was a song that was more of
an alternative rock song that we made into a lullaby," says Supervising
Music Director Paul S. Glass. "We did it slower and in a lower key and it
was much more hushed."

THE TOP 10 PLUS
1. Can the Julian family from NIGHT SHIFT come over to GENERAL HOSPITAL:
DAY SHIFT? There was more compelling drama with the feuding brothers (and
their fabulous mom) than all the mob explosions combined!
2. After his failed marriages with Julia Larabee and Katie, you'd think AS
THE WORLD TURNS' Jack would know better than to propose to a woman he
hasn't dated very long.
3. Now that Amanda Baker's free from playing Babe on ALL MY CHILDREN,
maybe psycho Jolene could wake up and cause some havoc in Nadine's life on
GH...
4. ... and if she tried to steal GH's Nikolas away from her sis, it would
be a great excuse to whip out the ol' Dolly Parton tune for a montage.
5. The pepparkakor at Al's must not be bringing in much dough if AS THE
WORLD TURNS's Henry and Vienna are renting out space for Oakdale U student
government meetings.
6. ONE LIFE TO LIVE's Jared finally figured out the code to release
Natalie -- just in time for Tess to swoop in and lock them both up.
Luckily there's a bed in there, so they can make the best of it.
7. Talk about a mother's nightmare. Having your daughter kidnapped is bad
enough, but for AMC's Annie, not only was little Emma abducted, she was
taken right before a huge tornado hit Pine Valley.
8. DAYS OF OUR LIVES' Nicole refused to believe Sami about the murderer on
the loose, so her running off and literally tripping over the mayor's dead
body was quite the wakeup call.
9. Why hasn't OLTL's Viki remembered the secret rooms and tunnels at
Llanfair? She used to have full run of them!
10. Did our eyes deceive us, or did BOLD AND BEAUTIFUL's Stephanie and
Donna actually team up to catch Pam? What's next? Hell freezing over?
11. Raise your hand if, after escaping a kidnapper, you'd return to help
him like Lizzie helped Grady on GUIDING LIGHT. Didn't think so.
12. DAYS' Sami has been walking around in muumuus for months and nobody
realizes she's pregnant?
13. Too bad OLTL's Rex wasn't completely himself when Gigi showed up in a
nurse's uniform. Isn't that every straight man's fantasy?
14. YOUNG AND RESTLESS' Heather behaves more like a stalker than an
assistant DA.
FOR YOUR EYES ONLY
-From Editorial Assistant Meridith M. Miller: I've got news for GL viewers
who are Cyrus and Marina fans. If you were fuming when Cyrus betrayed
Marina and started sleeping with Harley, and are annoyed by the lackluster
Marina/Mallet pairing, all hope is not lost. As previously reported by
Weekly, Mandy Bruno (Marina) mentioned that Marina might still be carrying
a torch for Cyrus. Now, according to Murray Bartlett (Cyrus), Marina and
Cyrus could possibly be poised to reunite. "There's stuff coming up with
Marina and Cyrus that's kind of interesting," says Bartlett. "We just shot
some scenes. It's pretty open, and I hear there are more things coming."

MAILBAG
The craziest thing in our mailbag this week was, without a doubt, a pair
of panties from an avid fan of Y&R's Lily and Cane, as part of a "Lollies
and Lingerie for Lane" campaign. Lollies we like! Undies...? Well, let's
just say that we here at Weekly are not exactly Tom Jones!
WHY WE CLAPPED
BOLD AND BEAUTIFUL's Jennifer Gareis sparkled as Donna faced a
life-and-death threat from a crazed, gun-toting Pam. Gareis initially
played Donna as frightened and tearful, but her fear was later overtaken
by pity and disgust. When Donna was later prevented from accepting Eric's
proffered reconciliation, Gareis' tortured eyes broke hearts. And that
earned her Applause, Applause kudos for Issue 45.

-MOMMA'S BOY, a new six-week unscripted dating series in which...um,
enthusiastic and dedicated mothers help their...well, devoted sons choose
a perfect match, debuts on NBC Oct. 29 at 9 p.m.
THE WE IN WEEKLY
-From Editorial Assistant Julie Globus: I couldn't believe how abruptly
Jesse told Angie about his daughter, Natalia. Granted, it was in the
middle of a serious storm, and they didn't have time to sit down for a
chat, but I still think he could have done it a bit more delicately. After
hiding it from her all this time, he just blurted it out, with no warning!
There's got to be a kinder way to let your wife know you've got a secret
child.
-From News Editor Mala Bhattacharjee: How pricelessly cute was GH's
Robin's bachelorette party/bridal shower at Jake's? While Robin's
hard-drinking daytime pals represent the polar opposite of her quieter,
more emotional friendship with Saira on NIGHT SHIFT, it's still great to
see the Girls Night Out gang together again. Scenes featuring female
friendship are so rare on GH that I'll take what I can get -- whether it's
Alexis and Diane or the gals pounding back the tequila. To whit, I was
even amused to see their battle cry of "Lick it, slam it, suck it!" raised
once more. I also admit to totally coveting Kelly's cute top -- but not
the animal print underwear Coleman gave Patrick. LOL. (And was it just me,
or did it look like Kelly and Coleman are starting a little
something-something?)
However, I do have one beef: Where was maid of honor Maxie? I know she'd
probably want to don a Hazmat suit before walking into Jake's again, but
the continuity editor should have noted she'd have to attend instead of
running around Shadybrook with Spinelli and Lulu.

Greetings From The Editor
Lynn Leahey
Dear Readers,
GH's Sebastian Roché (Jerry) was released from his contract at the
soap,
but you won't hear him complaining. "I don't know if I can say that I
was
surprised," he shares in the new Digest. "The character had been
painted
into a corner." And while Roché says he'll miss his castmates, it's
not as
if he'll never see them again. "We'll keep in touch," he insists. "I
had
quite a lot of fun there. It truly was wonderful to be on that show."
Best
of all, he expects Jerry to return to Port Charles every now and then.
You'll find the details in your new issue, including a message from
the
actor just for fans.... As daytime bids adieu to one charismatic
charmer,
it welcomes another: Soap vet Jon Lindstrom will be ATWT's latest
incarnation of Craig, starting December 3. "It was a very magical,
effortless situation to come my way," he raves to Digest. For more,
you
know where to look!
TALES FROM THE INTERVIEW
Lauren Flynn: Back in January, I was at the OLTL studio getting
quotes for
the special "Go Red" episode (remember all that Campbell's Soup
business
on AMC and OLTL in February?) and chatted with Robin Strasser about
Dorian's regal red dress. With its corset-like bodice and giant,
ruffled
skirt, we mused over it being part fairy godmother/part wicked
stepmother.
We then got to talking about jewels and shoes, etc., and the next
thing I
knew I was in Strasser's dressing room checking out some personal
photos
of her time on PASSIONS as Hecuba. I suggested that at some point, we
do a
spread in the magazine on her costumes over the years, and Strasser
and I
recently followed up on that deal. I e-mailed nine select photos to
her,
she took a few days to gather her thoughts and then called with a
novel's
worth of stories which I had to condense for "A Thousand Words,"
starting
on page 62. At the end of our conversation, she said, "If you could
look
at me now I'm just grinning and filled with so many memories. Tonight
when
I get some of my bill paying and administrative stuff done, I'm going
to
just stop and look at these and do some writing of my own." Should

essays.
Danielle McClure: Like any proud papa, GL's Bradley Cole (Jeffrey)
says
tackling real-life fatherhood is one of the biggest joys that he's
ever
experienced. The actor admits that his 2-year-old son, Sean, has
given him
a crash course in a different kind of daytime television. "Everything
from
Barney to Elmo to the Muppets and of course, SESAME STREET," Cole
grins.
"Sean's favorite, though, is the BACKYARDIGANS. I start staring at
these
things and I'm going 'Boy, this is really good!' There are also these
guys
called The Wiggles from Australia. I'm in the wrong business!" he
grins.
Now that Cole's Springfield alter ego has also officially entered the
paternal fray, the GL star has much to dish about in our first feature
with him since 2003. Read all about Cole's fatherly pursuits, both
on-screen and off, in the new issue.
Tom Stacy: If you're a longtime GH fan, then our interview with Genie
Francis (Laura) and Kin Shriner (Scott) is a must-read. The actors
truly
open up about their long-ago real-life romance as kids and reflect on
their 31 years of friendship. And since you're a subscriber, here's a
fun
little tidbit that didn't make the issue: Francis shared that if she
got
to write the script, Laura's reaction to Luke's marriage to Tracy
would
have been different. Here's the excerpt.
Francis: Laura said, "Take me back to the hotel." I think the next
beat
should be them in the hotel room and her crying, her figuring it all
out
and then her getting up, taking off her wedding ring and
saying, "Scotty,
this is your lucky day [laughs]." Honestly, if there was ever a moment
when she would act out, that would be it. Shriner [In baritone]: Oh,
yeah!
CAMPAIGN TRAIL
Elaine G. Flores: Wow, there was a deluge of mail this week, much of
it
themed to the season.
Election fever was in the air: AMC fans sent in tons of red, white and
blue "Team Slater" buttons, rooting for "The Winning Team" of Zach and
Kendall. Meanwhile, the ATWT, "Nuke" fans, followed up on the "Couple
We
Can Believe In" cards that I previously told you about with a huge
poster
rooting for Snyder-Mayer '08.
There was also really big noise from GH's Jason and Elizabeth lovers,
who
bombarded us with spooky Halloween candy that looked like eyeballs.
Their
message? "All Eyes are on Jason & Elizabeth." The fans also sent some
eyeball trinkets like a ring and funny glasses.
The absolute most mail came from fans of DAYS's Sami and Lucas. Second
Chances The Lumi Mega-Site got totally mobilized to entreat the show
to
"Reunite Sami and Lucas." Rival camp EJami still made a respectable
showing with more of the most Halloween-themed cards that I mentioned
last
week.
In the odds and ends category, fans were very into food themes. There
was
a bottle of hot sauce for Steve and Kayla "Heatin' Up DAYS."... An
ATWT
fan was so happy about Jack "popping" the question to Janet that we
got a
packet of microwave popcorn. And one fan sent in Atomic Fireball candy
because DAYS's Daniel and Chelsea are "hot! hot! hot!"

Soap Scrambler Answer

Today at Soap opera weekly
ONE LIFE TO LIVE's Tess (Bree Williamson) is certainly missing a lot

TOP TEN PLUS
1. It is said that happiness never lasts for long on soaps, and
GENERAL HOSPITAL's Robin and Patrick proved that to be very true.
They finally got their wedding and then the birth of their child,
only to have an drama-filled birth that put not only the baby's life
in danger, but Robin's, too!
2. It's been drilled into our heads over the years what a good
swimmer GH's Carly is, but we didn't know she was a super-mermaid.
Not only did she manage to pull the chains off of Sonny's ankles, she
was able to lift him above water on her own — and during all of this,
she gave him underwater CPR with her beautiful blonde hair flowing in
the waves.
3. Tess' priorities are a little bit askew on ONE LIFE TO LIVE.
Instead of getting the help she needed for her unborn child, she
endured the pain, kept Natalie and Jared locked up and even found
time to put dynamite in the room.
4. ALL MY CHILDREN's Krystal feared David would kill himself due to
the sorrow of losing their daughter, Babe. Krystal should have known
better — he's going to make everyone else pay.
5. DAYS OF OUR LIVES' Nicole never learned the lesson of crying wolf.
After years of denying all of her misdeeds, no one believes her when
she's actually innocent.
6. It's definitely time to move on when your ex is trying to get you
hooked up. GUIDING LIGHT's Josh is spending so much time hovering
over Reva that she's setting him up with a new woman.
7. Between Jack's antics and Sharon's never-ending loyalty to Nick
and the Newmans on YOUNG AND RESTLESS, it's a wonder their marriage
has lasted this long!
8. If DAYS had to put Nicole in jail, couldn't she at least have worn
a designer orange jumpsuit?
FOR YOUR EYES ONLY
and we have so much fun. It's just been a pleasure." Speaking of a
good time, check out the Nov. 25 issue of WEEKLY to find out what
happens when Remy and Christina have a wild night.
From News Editor Mala Bhattacharjee: Looks like ATWT's Paul and
Parker aren't the only psychics in Oakdale. On the afternoon of
Tuesday, Nov. 4 — a day that will go down in U.S. history, no matter
which candidate you voted for — I happened to be on the phone with
Grayson McCouch (Dusty), who pegged Barack Obama as the winner of the
2008 presidential election. "McCouch calls it early. You heard it
here," predicted the actor. Hey, Grayson, any idea who's going to win
the next Jets game?

WHY WE CLAPPED
When Lizzie was kidnapped on GUIDING LIGHT, Daniel Cosgrove played
Bill daring to harbor hope for her safe return, even after bungling
the ransom drop. As Lizzie's captivity stretched on, Bill did not
descend into anger — Cosgrove depicted him as frightened and
frustrated. Bill's nervousness came through in Cosgrove's back-and-
forth pacing and twitchy gestures. It took the addition of TV cameras
to spark Bill's rage and let Cosgrove really cut loose, earning
Applause, Applause kudos for Issue 47.

Anna, played by Julie McNiven (Hildy, MAD MEN), because she can hear
the conversations of angels on SUPERNATURAL Nov. 13.
THE WE IN WEEKLY
From Senior Editor Gabrielle Winkel: The baby boom Nov. 6 episode of
ONE LIFE TO LIVE was one for the record books. First, let me address
the controversial Todd/Marty sex part of the show. People hate this
pairing, and why not? Falling in love with one's rapist is repulsive.
But you watched, didn't you? And Todd didn't jump right into bed when
Marty asked him to. He admitted a few faults (not all, of course —
that would have taken a week). Kristen Alderson's (Starr) extremely
realistic labor scenes made me once again rejoice I chose to remain
childless, although she was certainly surrounded by loved ones during
he process. If Alderson doesn't get a Daytime Emmy nomination, it
will serve NATAS right for not getting a network to air the show.
Bree Williamson (Tess) matched Alderson contraction by contraction,
as she gave birth with an imaginary Niki by her side. Even doggie
David Vickers (or should that be Davida?) inspired more love — Cain
and Tina — when she gave birth to her puppies. And the cherry on the
sundae of this episode was seeing Erika Slezak as Viki, Jean and
Niki! Catch this one on SOAPnet if you missed it.

What doesn't kill us makes us stronger.
THIS WEEK ON: GUIDING LIGHT
Mallet and Marina continue to argue over Dinah. Josh insists on
taking Reva to the hospital after she faints. Reva and Josh receive
good news about the baby. Josh quietly leaves after Jeffrey arrives
on the scene. Rick tells Jeffrey that he needs to take Reva to the

oncologist goes off just as Reva makes a firm decision about her
future. Marah tells Josh that Shayne is a changed man.
A Closer Look: Going to the Chapel...
Christina reconsiders her harsh assessment of Remy after a chat with
Mel. Remy accepts Christina's apology. Mallet's joke takes a serious
turns when he insists that he and Marina make it legal and get
married. Mallet grabs Remy, to be a witness, who in turn drags
Christina along on the groups search for an all-night chapel. The
foursome share some drinks before heading to the chapel. Marina and
Mallet have a change of heart. Christina and Remy, tipsy from the
drinks, stumble back to the casino after losing track of Mallet and
Marina. The next morning, Remy and Christina wake up in a hotel room
with major hangovers and no memory of the previous evening. The duo
is shocked when a bellhop shows up at their door to congratulate them
on their wedding. Christina gets sick to her stomach after viewing

enjoying their predicament despite themselves.

his brother. Billy and Vanessa both begin to consider the legitimacy
of Frank's claim much to Lizzie's chagrin. Frank shows Lizzie and
Alan the surveillance video of the kidnapper breaking into the van.
Lizzie is aghast when she finds a jacket similar to the kidnappers'
in Bill's thing. Frank and Alan walk in to the room just as Lizzie is
set to light the jacket on fire. Daisy and Grady listen to Ashlee's
video blog of Rafe explaining how Grady is the reason he's in prison.

SOAP OPERA DIGEST INSIDER
November 14, 2008
Greetings From The Editor
Lynn Leahey
Dear Readers,
You've seen a lot of Y&R's Victor on our Digest covers lately, which
has
gotten a very positive response so far. That must be because even when
he's not on air (as when Eric Braeden took time off recently), Victor
is
still at the center of the action these days. Now he's returning to
Genoa
City for Katherine's funeral, and we can expect fireworks ... and
forgiveness. Braeden tells Digest in the new issue that he was
pleased to
see his character embrace certain family members again. "It was
difficult
to play Victor being so hard on his family," Braeden admits. "I hate
that
kind of estrangement in real life, so I'm glad he's ready to move
forward." Victor's ready to move forward with son Adam too, but that
won't
be so pretty. Check out the new issue for details.
TALES FROM THE INTERVIEW
Erika Martinez: I recently got a chance to catch up with ATWT's Terri
Colombino (Katie) to discuss her tenth anniversary on daytime. You'll
have
to pick up the new Digest if you want to hear what the plucky blonde
had
to say about her alter ego, as well as her leading men. But I thought
I'd
share a tidbit about a movie project the actress has worked on
outside of
ATWT. Colombino has a role in the thriller iMurders, about a group of
chat
room users who are systematically murdered. When I wondered when we
can
expect to see the flick, she shared, "It's out of the festivals
trying to
get distribution like any independent film." In addition to earning a
paycheck, Colombino enthused that she also "learned a lot about
independent films too. It's such a difficult world -- only 10 or 15
percent of them ever get bought or make their money back. It really
is the
passion of people who just want to tell their story or just need to do
their project. It's amazing to see and nice to see, but it's also sad
because you'll never hear from most of them. You'll never hear about
it --
maybe even this one," she cracked. "I feel really good about this
one. It
has an amazing cast." She promised to keep me posted and as soon as I
know, you will too.
WATER COOLER
Mara Levinsky: For this issue, I worked on a feature tackling the
question, Were soaps better in the '80s? For many devoted fans of the
genre, it was a golden era, from Luke and Laura on GH to the
explosion of
supercouples on DAYS. (And trust me, I was not immune: I bought my
very
first issue of Soap Opera Digest when Patch and Kayla got married.)
But in
my canvass of various experts who weighed in on this topic, arguments
against the notion that the '80s were the heyday of soaps were
proffered
-- compelling ones at that. There was one person, though, for whom the
'80s were unquestionably the peak of soaps, and that's Thom Racina,
who
served as head writer of both DAYS and GH during that decade. Check
out
this week's issue for his personal reflections, as well as the
musings of
Vincent Irizarry (David, AMC), DAYS EP Ken Corday, and others.
CAMPAIGN TRAIL
You gotta love soap fans' creativity -- Digest regularly receives
doodads
and goodies from readers who know how to make a statement.
Elaine G. Flores: The election team is taking a week off to finish
tabulating all the contested voting results. Come back next week!

TYPE SET
Soap fans are a vocal bunch - see what fellow viewers are saying about
their shows.
I know AMC's Jake [Ricky Paull Goldin] and Taylor [Beth Ehlers] had
"history" as GL's Gus and Harley, but not all AMC fans were invested
in
these two players from the get-go. Most AMC fans do not know these
characters/actor and are not invested in them yet. When they do their
scenes, it's like watching a show that we know nothing about! AMC was
on
the right track by pairing Jake with Amanda. They had chemistry and
were
fantastic together. We were getting to know Jake, but now it's like
the
Jake and Taylor show. He hardly interacts with anyone except Taylor
and
it's boring. We also don't know her at all. Give Taylor and Jake
separate
storylines and establish them as Pine Valley characters. Then, once we
viewers fully know who they are, go for the match. Right now, they're
totally boring and uninteresting together. Samantha, via the Internet
IN PERSON
I drove from Las Vegas to Universal Studios because I wanted to see my
all-time favorite soap stars from DAYS. I had the pleasure of meeting
James Scott (EJ) during the DAYS event at the CityWalk. I waited in
line
for three hours and he was really nice and gracious. I told him my
concerns and how I felt about the show and my favorite couple EJami.
He
told me to be patient and keep watching. So I will keep watching. Dawn

Whoa. GUIDING LIGHT fans knew that Coop (John Driscoll) had rebuffed
the advances of one older Springfield woman — Blake Marler — but
apparently he couldn't resist Beth Spaulding's (Beth Chamberlin)

Didn't he almost marry Lizzie when he thought Sarah was his daughter?

THE TOP 10 PLUS
1. ONE LIFE TO LIVE's doctors need some refreshers. Wouldn't Dr.
Joplin realize that the premature dead baby in her office is
significantly less developed than Starr's full-term newborn?
2. ALL MY CHILDREN's David needs to stop twirling his evil mustache
in public! With his monologues about revenge being spewed all over
town, it's only a matter of time before his evil plans come to light.
3. BOLD AND BEAUTIFUL's Rick needs to grow out his own mustache, so
he can twirl it.
4. While it's great that GENERAL HOSPITAL's Laura is doing better,
shouldn't Shadybrook be a little more responsible about getting their
escaped patient back into the hospital?
5. AS THE WORLD TURNS' Luke encountered a bunch of kids boozing up
smack in the middle of Old Town. Guess Oakdale has no open container
laws — just like Vegas!
6. With the way GH's Nadine and Johnny were "presented" to Laura,
you'd think she was the Queen!
7. So how exactly did OLTL's Bess find dark-rimmed glasses lying
around the abandoned vineyard? Did one of the workmen leave them
behind?
8. What better way to ensure you go somewhere on your own than to
knock your companion out, like ALL MY CHILDREN's Aidan?
9. It took minutes for a doctor to show up to Bill's room when Lizzie
made her emergency call for help on GUIDING LIGHT. That's pretty bad
service. Must be the recession.
10. Talk about a quick-change artist. DAYS OF OUR LIVES' Nick went
from being the nicest guy in town to Salem's most menacing creep.
11. Imagine how screwed up Jack's life would be on YOUNG AND RESTLESS
if he didn't have his dead dad's conscience guiding him?
FOR YOUR EYES ONLY
From Senior Writer/Editor Joe Diliberto: Got something to say to
GENERAL HOSPITAL's John J. York (Mac)? Get out a pen and paper — then
go find some stamps. "John J. York is computer-stupid and proud of
it!" the actor crows. "I don't do computers. Period. It never was my
thing. If someone wants to talk to me, call me." Or, in the case of
viewers, if you cannot make it to one of GH's fan events, you can
send York snail mail at:
GENERAL HOSPITAL
c/o ABC-TV
4151 Prospect Ave.
Los Angeles, CA 90027-4524
WHY WE CLAPPED
YOUNG AND RESTLESS' Nia Peeples was peerless when she had to portray
Karen's shattering confession that she can never have children
following a hysterectomy. Peeples was a bundle of barely restrained
tears, and we could not bear to hold back Applause, Applause kudos
for Issue 48.
NIGHTWATCH
•From Copy Editor Marc Wilkofsky: ER's Nov. 13 installment was
outstanding. Hitting 60 within a minute, the intensity did not let
up, thanks to the frenetic pacing and the way the NBC drama presented
Dr. Cate Banfield's tragic flashback (interlaced with scenes of a
current, parallel medical crisis). Anthony Edwards' captivating
return as Dr. Mark Greene (who passed away in 2002) in the flashback
created surreal nostalgia, and the inclusion of two of Mark's fellow
doctors, Weaver and the also late Romano, strengthened the story's
believability. Mysteries were cleared up, such as why Haleh
recognized Banfield (Angela Bassett, who was both engaging and
heartbreaking here) when she joined the ER's ranks as the razor-edged
chief of staff. It was surprising, yet inarguably fitting, that the
present-day Banfield chose Morris with whom to share her first truly
close moment with a colleague, as the strong-willed doctor has had no
problem getting right back on her case in past episodes. In
Banfield's moving comment to Morris about the difficulty of
describing a mother in her situation, one could say she displayed the
reason why she relentlessly talks so tough: Words are all she has
left. Now that viewers know that Mark was the doctor who valiantly
tried to save her son's life soon before he lost his own to a brain
tumor, a connection has been formed that is unbreakable...as well as
unforgettable, like this ER episode.
Plus, a prime-time edition of For Your Eyes Only: ER's Edwards
reveals that his return engagement garnered an additional medical
reward. Having been on the board of directors of the Shoe 4 Africa
charity (www.Shoe4Africa.org) — he notes that in addition to offering
AIDS education in Africa, "We take used running shoes to Africa and
do running events with women and children, and empower them through
the sport of running" — the actor asked for the construction of a
children's hospital in Kenya, instead of his wallet, to benefit from
his appearance. "In lieu of payment, [Warner Bros.] gave the hospital
$125,000, which Steven Spielberg (an ER co-creator) found out about
and matched. [Executive producer] John Wells kicked in $50,000."
Edwards says he was surprised by the experience: "Not that I didn't
think that I was going to have fun; I just didn't think I'd have as
much fun as I did. To not just have 10 minutes and leave, but
actually spend all day with [colleagues] — that was really a nice
gift. I thank them very much for that." As for what Mark would be
doing now if he were still alive, he remarks, "He would've probably
moved up and been more of a director of the hospital." ER, continuing
its 15th and final season, airs on Thursdays at 10 p.m.
•Indie rock band Tokyo Police Club performs as "Cold Splash" during a
battle of the bands on DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES Sunday night.
•Jordana Brewster (ex-Nikki, AS THE WORLD TURNS) kicks off the first
of three episodes as Chuck's college girlfriend, Jill, on Monday's
CHUCK. Jill broke his heart, and now she's back.
THE WE IN WEEKLY
•From Editorial Assistant Meridith M. Miller: I might be alone here,
but I thoroughly enjoyed seeing GL's Beth and Coop hook up.
Everything from their flirtatious glances at Company, to Coop
seductively opening the door to their room at the Beacon and
massaging Beth's shoulders before they hit the sack, was delightful!
Beth Chamberlin (Beth) looked H-O-T, and so did John Driscoll (Coop).
Normally I'm against the age difference in relationships (I didn't
care for Sabrina and Victor on Y&R, and Chelsea and Daniel on DAYS
were just okay), but Beth and Coop are a great match. I remember
watching their scenes and thinking, "Wow. This is sexy!" I haven't
thought that of any soap scene in a while (I think the dual elevator
hookup scenes with EJ, Nicole, Lucas and Chloe on DAYS might have
been the last time I did). Anyway, I'm feeling the chemistry between
Coop and Beth, and I can't want to see where this goes!
•From Editorial Assistant Julie Globus: I'm glad AMC's Frankie
changed his tune about the situation with his dad. Not that I blame
him for having strong feelings about it, but I think Natalia is the
last person he should have been taking it out on. She is an innocent
party in all this, just like he is.

Kettlebell pro Beth Chamberlin (Beth, GL) takes her beloved fitness
routine to the next level with the release of her second workout DVD,
Kettlebell Way to Your Perfect Body Vol II: The Empire State, which
can now be purchased online at www.beacon-fitness.com. "I'm really
psyched about it," Chamberlin shares. "We shot [the video] from this
amazing penthouse, so we have the entire New York City skyline.
Beginners can use it, but in every round there's an alternative round
that's more advanced. Every round is also three minutes: It's a
minute each of upper body, core, and lower body. There's also a
shuffle feature so it mixes it up," she smiles. Be sure to check out
an upcoming issue of Digest for more scoop on Chamberlin's love for
kettlebells.

falling in love with him. Badda bing! That's sure to put a crimp in
Paul's plan.

SOAP OPERA DIGEST INSIDER
November 20, 2008
Greetings From The Editor
Lynn Leahey
Dear Readers,
It's the biggest soap news of the year, if not the decade: Deidre
Hall and
Drake Hogestyn have been let go from DAYS. In an exclusive interview
in
the new Digest, Executive Producer Ken Corday explains that NBC
renewed
the show, but at a "greatly reduced" fee that necessitates major cuts.
Hall and Hogestyn are two casualties, with more likely to come. It's
unfortunate, because DAYS is on an upswing in ratings (it's the only
show
that's actually improved since last year), but the rocky economy is
taking
its toll. "The state of NBC and DAYS is not the same as it was six
months
ago," laments Corday. "We're lucky that we're still on the air for 20
months, with possibly another year after that." To hear more about
what's
in store for DAYS, check your new issue.
TALES FROM THE INTERVIEW
Mara Levinsky: Before Alicia Minshew (Kendall) went on her
extended "Just
Married!" vacation, I spoke to her about her special bond with on-
screen
sister Eden Riegel (Bianca), thinking that I might use it in the
feature
interview I was scheduled to write about Eden. Well, as I hope you'll
agree when you check out the new issue, there was an embarrassment of
material, and Lish, I love ya, but you didn't make the cut! So,
especially
for you subscribers, here's what Alicia has to say on the subject of
her
dear friend, Eden Riegel:
"I say I have this maternal feeling for her but really it's more of a
sisterly feeling. When I see her, I always feel like, 'There's my
little
sister!' She's like a tiny piece of home. She's the first person I
ever
worked with on ALL MY CHILDREN. My very first day, my very first
scenes
were with her. Cut to seven years later and I feel like our bond is
stronger than ever. Our husbands are great friends, too, and I've
seen her
grow into such a lady. She was such a little girl when I met her and
she's
grown into such a lady. She's married with a beautiful home; she's
doing
this cool Imaginary Bitches thing with her husband, which I think is
hilarious and great. And when she comes back to work, every single
time,
she's great. She is always right on top of her game. She is that kind
of
talent, where you know that even though she's been gone for a year,
she's
going to pick up exactly where she left off. Emotionally, she's right
there. I really wish that I had more scenes with her. I'm going to
demand
them when I get back [laughs]!"
Devin Owens: As viewers know, Kyle Lowder was thrown into heavy story
as
soon as he premiered as B&B's Rick. But what we didn't know, the
actor's
first day at work continued to be challenging even after the cameras
were
done rolling. "They had their big holiday party that same night so I
was
going to meet everybody, cast and crew, at once," he
chuckles. "Luckily,
it turned out to be a really great experience. Everybody was one big
family and acting like it. There were no cliques and anyone standing
around by themselves. They went out of their way to make me feel
welcome
and feel like a part of the show. I'll always appreciate that." Look
for a
feature on Kyle in the new issue.
Naomi Rabinowitz: I had a great time chatting with the fascinating
Peggy
McCay (Caroline, DAYS) for my feature on her. Though she's been on
DAYS
for 25 years now, she has over a hundred other prime-time and film
credits
-- very impressive! Yet what truly made me admire her is how involved
she
is in real-life causes, including helping the homeless, championing
animal
rights, and dealing with actor issues, such as revamping the Daytime
Emmy
nomination process. "I've been very fortunate in my life so I want to
give
back to others," she explains. "I feel like it's part of my job to do
that."
That said, she's tried to infuse some of her own chutzpah into her
DAYS
alter ego. "I like Caroline best when she's strong and she hasn't
always
been," she admits. "I've really enjoyed her storyline this year,
though;
she's shown a lot more backbone."
Either way, she's still enjoying her time at DAYS. "I'm lucky to
still be
working as an actor and to have a job I like," she states. "I'm not
planning on going anywhere, as long as they keep giving me stuff to
do."
Danielle McClure: How the heck did author/motivational speaker/TV host
Montel Williams -- one of the busiest men in showbiz -- become GL's
Papa
Boudreau? Williams says it's all in the timing. Thanks to GL's
flexibility
and a few (albeit small) gaps in Williams's crazy schedule, the actor
has
been able to spend time in Springfield and give the Boudreau clan a
much-needed storyline boost. " It's a lot of fun. The cast over there
is
great. It's a break from my day-to-day, and everybody likes to get to
go
do something else and play a little dress up!" he says of his new
gig. And
if you think your family Thanksgiving gatherings are full of drama,
then
wait until you see Clayton's reaction to Remy's juicy news when the
family
gathers at Towers for some (belated) turkey and stuffing on December
1.
"It's another one of those shocking Boudreau moments!" Williams
teases.
Read more from my interview with Williams on page 46 of the new
Digest.
CAMPAIGN TRAIL
You gotta love soap fans' creativity -- Digest regularly receives
doodads
and goodies from readers who know how to make a statement.
Elaine G. Flores: In terms of sheer of volume, the clear winner was
DAYS's
"Lumi," Fans at Second Chances The Lumi Mega Site went crazy with the
rainbow-colored cards in honor of Lucas and Sami and bearing the
message,
"True love can not be found where it does not exist, nor can it be
denied
where it does."
The other big noise came from ATWT's "Nuke." Following the Obama-
themed
"Couple We Can Believe In" campaign, the Noah and Luke fans have come
up
with more election-inspired designs including glossy, "I Vote for More
Nuke!" cards. In lieu of actual counting, I'll say we got a million,
give
or take.
"Change" was also a hot topic with lovers of GH's Jason and
Elizabeth, who
literally put their two cents in by taping shiny pennies to their
fliers.
Talk about putting your money where your mouth is -- especially in
this
economy.
Two other GH groups decided to go for products. Fans of GH's Lucky
and Sam
sent "I HEART Lusam" bumper stickers. Carly and Jax fans made
keychains
with the messages, "Carjax Are Where It's At," "And Baby Makes Five.
We
Want a Carjax Baby Girl!" and "Jax is the Key to Carly's Heart."
I'm just gonna say that my next door neighbor Joyce is one of the
biggest
soap fans I've ever met. She watches soaps across networks (and
regularly
accosts me at my door for a lengthy interrogation.) She is going to
LOVE
those bumper stickers and keychains. I'll slip them under her door and
run!
TYPE SET
Soap fans are a vocal bunch - see what fellow viewers are saying about
their shows.
Applause, applause, SOD, for choosing to salute GH: NIGHT SHIFT
Season 2
finale as the Editors' Choice in the 11/25 issue. My soap buds and I
absolutely agree with all your comments and are wishing Season 3 would
arrive sooner than later. We are grateful that TPTB at GH:NS and GH
have
selected Robin and Patrick as the soap couple who make it. Thanks
again.

PLUS
•AMC's Michael E. Knight (Tad) has re-signed with the show.
THE TOP 10 PLUS
1. GENERAL HOSPITAL's Kate is finally standing up for herself. Her
insults to Sonny were so sharp, they must have hurt worse than
Sonny's stab wounds.
2. ONE LIFE TO LIVE's Cole is going to need a lot of therapy. In one
short week, he lost a baby and gained a mother, only to find out she
doesn't even remember him!
3. How hot are ALL MY CHILDREN's David and Amanda together?
4.Watching YOUNG AND RESTLESS' Katherine the Great dine on pork and
beans is a bona fide hoot!
5. Wouldn't it have been nice if GUIDING LIGHT's Ashlee had
interviewed Rafe to give him a voice and help him get into a better
prison, instead of interviewing him to trash Grady, someone who
doesn't need help to look like a jerk?
6. When DAYS OF OUR LIVES' Nick is finally carted off to jail, the
show should underscore it by playing "What I Did for Love."
7. Has AMC's Di ever heard of calling the cops? Why was her first
instinct to grab a gun when she realized what Annie was up to?
8. Two Bell boys have unusual ways to refer to their moms: Y&R's
Noah, speaking with Jack this week, called Sharon "your woman," and
talking about his mother, BOLD AND BEAUTIFUL's Rick recently called
her Brooke.
9. ATWT's Brian is officially a dirty old man! Not only did he smooch
his new wife's grandson, but Luke was drunk!
10. Who else0;just wanted to slap Jill at her rude treatment of Nikki
all during the days surrounding Katherine's "death" on Y&R? One of us
practically cheered when Katherine's will stated for all to hear that
Nikki was more like a true daughter to her. Jill, you need to be
nicer!
11. Speaking of Y&R's Jill, she was furious that Kay left Gloria her
Jabot stock. I guess leaving Jill control of an empire and billions
of dollars just didn't cut the mustard.
FOR YOUR EYES ONLY
•From Editorial Assistant Meridith M. Miller: Grant Aleksander's
upcoming January 2009 return to GUIDING LIGHT as Phillip is exciting
enough, but what fans really want to know is what kind of story
Phillip will be involved in. Aleksander admitted to WEEKLY that
Phillip would probably be focusing on his children and involved in
something with Rick, Beth and Alan when he returns, but when asked
which single Springfield woman Phillip should be involved with,
Aleksander laughed, "Listen, I'm dumb, but I'm not that dumb! I leave
that completely in their hands. I would only offer, as I near 50
here, that I think they have younger, better prospects."

WHY WE CLAPPED
While GENERAL HOSPITAL's Robin fought for her life, her babydaddy
Patrick struggled with the prospect of living his life without her.
Jason Thompson excelled at portraying Patrick's agony in subdued, yet
heartfelt terms. His eyes swollen and red, he spoke quietly, giving
the impression that Patrick was holding himself back — while barely
holding it together. Thompson exposed Patrick's heart by confessing
his fear of inadequacy to his brother, but also in the careful way he
showed Patrick cradling his newborn daughter's fragile head. His
touching performance was "adequate" enough to earn him Applause,
Applause kudos for Issue 49.
NIGHTWATCH
•From Senior Writer/Editor Joe Diliberto: THE SHIELD wraps up with a
90-minute finale on Nov. 25 at 10 p.m., and the FX series' creator,
Shawn Ryan, is determined not to disappoint dedicated fans of the
cutting-edge drama. "I've paid a lot of attention in the last couple
years to the finales of shows that I really admired," he
reveals. "There are shows that I thought were fantastic and had what
I thought were weak finales, and shows that had really great finales.
Obviously, we will strive to fall into that latter category," he
laughs, while diplomatically declining to name names.
"The one thing I've learned is that the shows that stay true to
themselves in their finale — rather than to try to do something that
was outside the umbrella of what they usually did — those were the
finales that for me succeeded more," Ryan explains. "I think when you
watch the finale, it will feel like THE SHIELD's universe; it will
feel completely appropriate. And we hope that you'll be knocked over
by it!"
•Don't forget to check out the season finale of HBO's TRUE BLOOD this
Sunday night. The series' bloody good ratings have secured a second
season in 2009.
•Teen sensation Miley Cyrus performs her latest single, "Fly on the
Wall," on the season finale of ABC's DANCING WITH THE STARS Tuesday,
Nov. 25 at 9 p.m.

jour is Rick, over-the-top Rick, who has made destroying Ridge his
life's purpose. I catch B&B before my official show, which is ONE
LIFE TO LIVE. OLTL has been exceptional, but is also a tad draining.
B&B is the perfect antidote.
•From Editorial Assistant Julie Globus: I really enjoyed how AMC's
Aidan and Annie both took digs at Ryan and Greenlee for each other
this week. When Greenlee expressed her shock at how crazy Annie had
become, Aidan made sure to point out that Ryan had a hand in her
insanity. Later, Annie made sure to point out to Greenlee that Aidan
was barely hanging onto life because he jumped in front of a bullet
that was meant for her. Looks like those that get their hearts broken
together stick together — and I kind of like it!
IT'S MY PARTY
•From News Editor Mala Bhattacharjee: I could rave for days on end
about the 13th and final ABC Super Soap Weekend. I spent Friday
afternoon through Monday morning in sunny Florida, at Walt Disney
World and its Yacht Club resort, and got to catch up with the stars
of AMC, OLTL and GH.
Digest's OLTL editor, Lauren Flynn, and I had all kinds of wonderful
experiences — like being at the afterparty on Saturday and telling a
surprised Bradford Anderson (Spinelli, GH) about how a little girl
sang "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star" to him at a GH talk show panel
earlier that day. (He wasn't scheduled for that particular Q&A.) Then
there was asking Cameron Mathison just how he pulls off all his
hosting duties and his gig as AMC's Ryan. When I called
him "Superman," he told me, "I really care about people having a good
time. I do it because I love what I do. I try to understand what my
role is: to serve the people that are here and make them have as good
a time as possible." As for his energy, "I've been trying to pace
myself, and I'm not doing a great job of it," he chuckled,
adding, "But I like to show gratitude; I like to show my
appreciation." Well, I have massive appreciation for you, Mr.
Mathison!
OLTL's Brandon Buddy (Cole), meanwhile, was outed by pal Kristen
Alderson (Starr) — he loves the movie Enchanted! "I'll admit to it:
It's in my top 10, actually. I'm kind of obsessed with it. I'm
obsessed with the princess," he smiled.
Then there's Kelly Monaco (Sam, GH), whose candid comments made her a
major hit at all the talk shows she attended. I grabbed a few minutes
with her to dish Jason, Lucky and another of Sam's important
relationships: her mom, Alexis. "I don't think Sam can become a
better woman until she and her mom can have some sort of a
relationship. It's just not possible," she declared.

--From Soap opera Digest and Weekly Insider (about all soaps)

subject Soap Opera Digest Insider
Dear Readers,
I often join the chorus of complaints when a show kills off a
character for what appears to be a short-term shot of drama, but
sometimes losing a familiar face pays off. That promises to be the
case on B&B next week: In the new issue of Digest, Kyle Lowder talks
about the accident that kills Phoebe, and Rick's part in it. "This is
the saddest moment I've ever played in the eight years I've been in
daytime," says the star. And it's bound to have major ramifications —
check your new Digest for details.... We talked to Tony Geary about
whether he'll re-up as GH's Luke (no word yet), and he reflected on
the possibility of a Luke and Laura reunion. Knowing how fond Geary
is of Genie Francis you might think he'd jump at the chance for
another chapter in the grand Luke-and-Laura love affair, but there's
a more "interesting" way he'd like to see them move forward. It's all
in the new Digest.... And so are updates on what's going on behind
the scenes at DAYS, including the debut on the show of an old AW
fave. Don't miss the latest news!
Stephanie Sloane: I recently conducted an interview with DAYS
newcomer Eric Martsolf (Brady; ex-Ethan, PASSIONS) over the phone.
Some actors are better in person, but Martsolf was quite the
conversationalist; he is bright, funny and a pleasure to talk to. He
weighed in on everything, from the cancellation of PASSIONS, that
nearly made him reconsider his decision not to become a lawyer, to
his twin boys, Chase and Mason (and how JOHN & KATE PLUS 8 is his and
wife, Lisa's favorite show) to Ethan vs. Brady. "No disrespect to the
character of Ethan Winthrop but I always had an issue with his
indecisiveness," he says. "The women really ran the show on PASSIONS.
Guys were such wallflowers. On this show, there is equal ground and
Brady is coming in guns blazing. He's really matured since he has
been gone. They made that really clear to me when they offered me the
job. He's been through rehab and he's had a lot of life happen to
him." He was also overwhelmed by his predecessor, Kyle Lowder (Rick,
B&B; ex-Brady), lauding his hire in Digest. "When a guy like that
does a classy move and promotes another guy taking over your
character, it's worth praising. I think that shows a lot about his
character and I think it all stems from our mutual love of Bon Jovi."
For more on Martsolf, check out the new issue of Digest.
Lauren Flynn: I'll be honest, I knew very little about Florencia
Lozano (Téa, OLTL) and her work when I sat down with her for a
feature interview in this week's issue. There was a time when
I "broke up" with OLTL and decided I only had room for one fictional
drama in my life and that was GENERAL HOSPITAL (a decision I'd
probably rethink today). Unfortunately, that was when Lozano came on
as Téa, yet I've always heard positive things about what she did with
that character (making Todd sizzle with someone other than Blair?
Come on!). Our photo assistant, Bryan Beckley, for one is often
praising Lozano's efforts. Well, I soon learned that sitting down
with someone I know very little about is actually one of the best
ways to go about an interview. I was cognizant of the serene vibe she
gives off, her fluid hand movements, her slightly gravelly voice and
how incredibly young she looks. One of the first things I said to her
is, "Now I know why you're not still playing Blair's mom on GOSSIP
GIRL! You look way too young for the part," and she laughed and
said, "That's what they said!" Another daytime alum, Margaret Colin
(ex-Margo, ATWT), was recast as Eleanor Waldorf after the pilot.
Lucky for OLTL, because it got Lozano back at a time when she is
definitely needed. In the meantime, the actress has been a busy lady,
from starring in an upcoming indie flick with heavyweights Harvey
Keitel and John Leguizamo to acting in a theater troupe with
Elizabeth Rodriguez (Carmen, AMC) and UGLY BETTY's Ana Ortiz (Hilda).
Find out more on what she's been up to in "Now And Zen", starting on
page 62.
Devin Owens: In my interview with Y&R's Michael Gross (River), you'll
learn he is far from the dad he played on FAMILY TIES. Still, he has
fond memories of the sitcom and is still in close contact with his TV
wife Meredith Baxter. "We stay in touch on the phone although it's
been a while since we've seen each other," Gross reveals. "Even when
we were doing FAMILY TIES, Meredith was very preoccupied with her
family. She had five kids. One of the jokes we had is that I could
hardly get her out of Santa Monica where she lives. I lived in the
Pasadena area and I always had to go over there or meet her somewhere
halfway. I think she came to my house once in the seven years of
FAMILY TIES. She is a very hands-on mother and she took it seriously.
I love still talking to her."
You gotta love soap fans' creativity — Digest regularly receives
doodads and goodies from readers who know how to make a statement.
Elaine G. Flores: Fans totally got into the holiday spirit this week
with Thanksgiving and seasonal themes.
• ATWT's Luke and Noah supporters sent postcards to say: "Fans thank
AS THE WORLD TURNS for giving Luke & Noah the election storyline with
lots of airtime and great drama. More, please!" There was also a
Happy Thanksgiving card featuring autumn leaves, pumpkins and the
sentiment: "Thank You For Keeping The World Turning!"
• DAYS's Dan and Chelsea fans also sent an assortment of cards with
messages like, "Thanks for Danesa Chemistry!" One creative fan,
Haydie from Kearny, NJ, made a cute, colorful turkey. His plumage was
decorated with the words, "Sexy Love" and a shot of Daniel and
Chelsea smooching.
• Fans of GH's Jason and Elizabeth kept the seasonal vibe going by
sending yummy scented spice and vanilla candles a selection of
flavored teas and coffees because, "Jason Needs Sugar and Spice,"
which as it turns out is, "What Elizabeth is Made of." The heroine is
also made of (love, compassion, passion, excitement, loyalty, home,
family, caring, marriage, children, adventure, spunk, action, daring,
intrigue and danger.) Well, I'm glad nobody is made of snips and
snails and puppy dog tails because that would not be a fun campaign.
• Now, some Jason and Sam enthusiasts took their inspiration from
iconic big-screen and TV duos. Jason and Sam's faces graced a
miniature Casablanca poster, The Morgan Identity postcard and my
personal favorite a shot of MORGAN TO McCALL, (Think you guys can
borrow David Vickers from OLTL to play Freeway?)
• We also heard from a few fans of DAYS's EJ and Samantha who
declare, "We Accept No Substitutes!".... Second Chances The Lumi Mega-
Site voted DAYS's Lucas, Sexiest Man In Salem" and "The Only Man Sami
Brady Will Ever Truly Love!".... AMC's "Zendall" contingent is coping
with Kendall's coma by sending cards that picture her sleeping, Zach
reading Sleeping Beauty to the kids and delivering a kiss that will
hopefully rouse Kendall. The cards and flier bear the message: "And
from this slumber you shall wake when true love's kiss the spell
shall break..." .... There was also a pretty card with a photo of
Rebecca Budig and a plea for AMC to reunite Aidan and Greenlee; a
reminder that "The Beautiful Chemistry of Maurice [Benard, Sonny] and
Natalia [Livingston, ex-Emily] is what GH needs."; a call to Reunite
ATWT's Carjack and a couple of cards from www.therhfactor.net in
praise of Roger Howarth (Paul, ATWT), who is "the Right Man for 'The
World' "
Beauty tips from the stars.
GH's Lisa LoCicero (Olivia)
What's your recipe for a bad hair day?
"Any day that I'm not working, I only wear my hair in a bun. To catch
me with my hair down is like sighting Bigfoot. It doesn't happen.
I've gotten fancy pencils now. I take one of those, roll it around,
put it up and there it is."
Soap fans are a vocal bunch — see what fellow viewers are saying
about their shows.
I am so happy that Grant Aleksander [Phillip] is coming back to GL.
Heaven knows Lizzie needs her daddy! I only hope that they are
bringing him back SANE! The whole mental illness thing fell flat when
Rick faked Phillip's death to get him out of town for the sake of
Jude and Zack.
T.P., Roseburg, OR
IN PERSON
I had the EXTREME pleasure of seeing Rick Springfield (Noah, GH) in
concert at the Mid-South Fair recently. He was on stage for a full
hour and a half, taking time out to step off the stage to engage the
audience. We were behind the VIP fence, so didn't expect to get to
see him up close let alone interact with him. However, he stood on
the chairs in the last row of the VIP section at one point and I was
one of the lucky few to get to hold his hand. He held on to me for
about 20 seconds rather than just giving my hand a [quick squeeze].
To make things even more interesting, the young woman next to me
pointed out a woman who was with [her] and told me she had dated Doug
Davidson (Paul, Y&R) in 1983. Since Doug and Rick are friends, this
woman had spent the summer around the pool with the two of them and
had pictures to prove it. The experience was the highlight of my
fall. What a sweetheart!
Amy Coolidge, Whiteville, TN
On October 16, I was at a benefit in West Hollywood to raise money
for the AIDS Walk and Cops 4 Causes. There were about 25 soap stars
there.... I will attach a few of the pics I took that night....Being
a huge fan of soaps for over 20 years, it was a night I will never
forget. I want to personally say that Carolyn Hennesy (Diane, GH),
Dylan Bruce (ex-Chris, ATWT), Cynthia Preston (ex-Faith, GH), Adam
Grimes (ex-Kyle, GH: NIGHT SHIFT) and Bradford Anderson (Spinelli,
GH), deserve a shout-out for their willingness to spend time with the
fans.
Robert Wofford, West Hollywood, CA
Fan Molly Bruch with Shawn Christian (Daniel, DAYS, top l.), Nadia
Bjorlin (Chloe, DAYS) and AMC's Cameron Mathison (Ryan).
I went to The Calgary Woman's Show this past weekend and on the first
day, met Cameron Mathison (Ryan, AMC). He was so gracious to
everyone, and even stood up and danced with one of the fans right in
front of me! While signing autographs, he took his time to speak to
every fan, take pictures, and sign two things for everyone. On the
second day, I was lucky enough to meet Shawn Christian and Nadia
Bjorlin (Daniel and Chloe) from my fave show, DAYS. They were
hilarious, and Shawn was especially very funny about his current
grandaughter/grandmother storyline. Both stars were so kind, and
happy to be there. I was very star-struck, but talking to them and
joking around with them during the interview from the front row,
really calmed my nerves. They also took the time to interact with
their fans, and made sure everyone got a picture with them. Best
weekend ever!
Molly Bruch, Calgary, Canada
I was in Ojai, CA for a meeting September 25th through the 28th.
While there I heard a rumor that Tyler Christopher (Nikolas, GH) was
getting married at the same hotel. Although I couldn't see the
wedding, on Sunday I met Rick Hearst (Ric). He was so incredibly
charming. As he moved up in line to check out we kept talking. When I
left to go back to my room, I met Tyler and his bride going to the
lobby. I congratulated them both and they stopped to talk to me. They
were both very sweet and it was a pleasure meeting them. They were
very down-to-earth and I appreciated that.

Kassie DePaiva (Blair, OLTL) in the 1987 film Evil Dead II.
Q. Is that Kassie DePaiva (Blair, OLTL) in the movie Evil Dead II?
N.K., via the Internet
A. Absolutely. That was DePaiva's first film. "It was totally hands-
on," she revealed to Digest in 2007, saying that she'd often get
called to the set to move or hold props while they were shooting in
Wadesboro, NC. "It really helped me get over my fear of horror films
because I could see how fake everything was. Who knew that it would
end up being such a cult classic?"

1. St. Luke may be gone forever on AS THE WORLD TURNS, but the
troubled young man's cracked halo has proven to be a whole lot more
interesting!
2. Kudos to ONE LIFE TO LIVE for not throwing away the character of
Brody; it's nice to have a tortured hero other than John in Llanview!
3. GUIDING LIGHT actually integrated a vegetable juice into the
storyline via dialogue. Does that mean the advertiser paid more, or
the writers ran out of ideas?
4. Speaking of ideas, it's a bad one to use actors like Kurt McKinney
(Matt) and Liz Keifer (Blake) to push the advertisers. The vegetable
juice scene is the only screen time the actors had in the GL episode.
5. After what happened in New York, it's hard to accept GENERAL
HOSPITAL's Lulu encouraging Johnny to teach piano again.
6. Here's an idea, OLTL people: Why not match Marty with Bo? She
could use a nice, stable, sane, not weird beau.
7. It's good to know ALL MY CHILDREN's Bianca doesn't let her
troubles keep her down. One minute she's confiding in Reese about how
upset she is, and the next she's taking part in a dance party!
8. Isn't it a tragic mistake for THE YOUNG AND THE RESTLESS' Ashley
to leave her job in L.A. to be Victor's rebound girl? It hasn't been
that long since Sabrina's death.
9. Isn't some kind of ethical code being violated having a
psychiatrist — namely, DAYS OF OUR LIVES' Marlena — blackmailing John
into getting therapy?
10. Who knew THE BOLD AND THE BEAUTIFUL's Rick would be such an
entertaining baddie?
11. Only Y&R's Jack could be so calm and cool while being
interrogated by the Feds.
FOR YOUR EYES ONLY
From News Editor Mala Bhattacharjee: I recently had an opportunity to
be part of a call for the NBC police procedural series, LIFE, and I
got to ask star Damian Lewis if he really enjoys eating all that
fruit that quirky detective Charlie Crews consumes every week. "I've
eaten some pretty exotic fruit in the last year," admitted the
actor. "The staple — you know, apples, bananas and oranges — has been
left behind for African-horned Melon and strange pears, and kumquats
and passion fruits, and papaya and guavas, and all sort of fun
things."
Though Lewis confided that he's no papaya fan — it's his "least
favorite fruit" — he did assure that he loves fruits in general, "and
I eat fruit when I'm just between takes. I go to Craft Services and I
eat more fruit. So it's lucky, you know."
Especially for his vitamin and antioxidant intake!
WHY WE CLAPPED
ONE LIFE TO LIVE's Kristen Alderson is, like her character, barely
more than a child herself, but she gave a mature performance when
Starr delivered her baby. Alderson plastered a look of raw wonder on
Starr's face as she realized she had accomplished giving birth. But
that was replaced by sheer horror when Starr learned her child had
died. Alderson's agony was so moving that we had no choice but to
reward her with Applause, Applause kudos in Issue 50.
NIGHTWATCH
—Patrick Ecclesine/The CW
•From Senior Writer/Editor Joe Diliberto: Thanksgiving is a time for
family, and one of my favorite prime-time family members is Jessica
Walter's deliciously decadent granny, Tabitha, on 90210. In addition
to dispensing the expected hard-won advice about life, Tabby is
always dishing up a story about her adventures in old Hollywood — and
pouring herself a drink. But while Tabitha is unique among prime-time
characters this season, she does bring to mind Walter's previous
regular role, the oblivious Lucille Blum on the late, lamented
ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT. Does Walter herself see any similarities? "I
think every character that an actor plays, you put a lot of yourself
into it," Walter smiles. "The difference between Lucille and Tabitha
is, first of all, Lucille liked vodka and Tabitha likes scotch
(laughs). The reason that Harry and Debbie and the family have come
to Tabitha's Beverly Hills mansion is to take care of her because she
has been drinking, but now she's now on the wagon. That'ssomething
Lucille never really tried." 90210 airs Tuesdays at 8 p.m. on The CW.
THE WE IN WEEKLY
•From News Editor Mala Bhattacharjee: I almost nominated GH's Braden
Walkes(Cameron) for Applause, Applause this week, as Cam and Jake
(and, oh, Sam and Elizabeth, too) faced an onslaught from the
Russians, except that I know we don't give out those accolades solely
on the basis of how precious and adorable someone is. Little Braden's
timing couldn't have been better as he tried to hold back the cutie-
pie who plays Jake (even cuter now that he has hair!) and cried, "No,
no, no!" at the younger child. What a charmer! I had the luck of
seeing him in person at the recent ABC Super Soap Weekend and can
testify that he's just as adorable in person as he is onscreen. I
think he's easily my favorite child actor, next to ONE TREE HILL's
Jackson Brundage (Jamie).
•From Senior Editor Gabrielle Winkel: There's nothing like talking to
a returning actress. They are always so grateful and happy to be back
on their soaps. I've never, ever heard one say, "It's lousy to be
back. Everyone is horrible." Of course, would they actually say that
to the press? Doubtful. That said, recently I had a lovely chat with
Florencia Lozano, who is about to return to OLTL as Tea. Now, to be
honest, I never really watched her when she was on back in the
proverbial day. So I was never privy to that TNT (Todd and Tea)
magic. But I believe the stories I've heard. Lozano is thrilled to be
back in Llanview and very eager to reclaim the role of Tea. As she
told me (the interview will run in the Dec. 16 issue of WEEKLY), Tea
is back in town for a number of reasons, including her past history
with Todd. Now, if anyone in town needs a friend, it's Todd. Cuz he's
got none at the moment.
•From Editorial Assistant Julie Globus: Watching the AMC scenes with
Ryan, Annie and Greenlee unfold in the penthouse on Monday, I found
myself thinking that Ryan and Greenlee aren't much better than Annie
in terms of thinking of Emma's safety. Ryan berated Annie for
jeopardizing Emma's safety, but then handed Greenlee a gun to keep
Annie in the apartment. Meanwhile, Emma was just in another room.
Shouldn't everyone's first instinct have been to keep the gun as far
away from Emma as possible?
•From Editorial Assistant Meridith M. Miller: I am thrilled about all
of the fantastic people on their way back to GL. During the show's
fan club weekend in September, I got the chance to interview Jeff
Branson about joining the cast as Shayne. He's such a nice guy, and I
loved that he was already pumped about playing Shayne and he hadn't
even begun filming yet. A few weeks later, I was on the phone with
Grant Aleksander for the first time about his shocking return as
Phillip. Like other GL fans, I couldn't believe it was actually
happening. Phillip's return is the most talked-about buzz on GL
message boards, so I was glad to have the opportunity to pick
Aleksander's brain. This week was particularly exciting for me,
because I learned that David Andrew Macdonald would be returning to
GL as Edmund! Macdonald is one of my favorites, and Edmund is a treat
to watch, so his return has me smiling from ear to ear. I can't wait
to get the scoop from him, but in the meantime, I'm applauding GL for
what appears to be a comeback. After a year of mixed reviews over the
show's new format and other changes, I'm glad that things are looking

SOAP OPERA DIGEST INSIDER
December 4, 2008
Greetings From The Editor
Lynn Leahey
Dear Readers,
There are certain events soap fans wait and wait for, and the more
impatient we get, the more rewarding the payoff. That promises to be
the
case when Gloria finally gets carted away for contaminating the Jabot
face
cream. And that's not the worst of it: she's set up for the bust by
the
man she loves most. Get the details in your new Digest.... No less
dramatic is Jason and Liz's final split on GH. "They have to break up
for
good," explains Rebecca Herbst (Liz). "They're playing with fire."
Who'll
mend Jason's broken heart? Well, he's on the cover with Sam....The new
issue has the latest comings and goings, too, from Y&R's Don Diamont
(out!) to GH's Tristan Rogers (in!). It's all in the new issue!
TALES FROM THE INTERVIEW
Danielle McClure: I love secret romances on soaps, so I was thrilled
(albeit stunned) when the months-long off-camera affair between GL's
Beth
and Coop was revealed to viewers. When I sat down with Beth Chamberlin
(Beth) and John Driscoll (Coop) to discuss their sizzling new scenes,
the
duo (who'd never worked together before, mind you) had lots to share -
-
including their own surprised reactions upon learning about their
on-screen romance on the same day that they shot Beth and Coop's first
love scene! It took a hot minute for the actors to get used to their
sexy
new storyline, but they're loving the Beth/Coop dynamic and so are we.
Here's a snippet from the interview that didn't make the magazine:
Beth Chamberlin: I kind of elected not to watch the [first] love scene
because I felt a little uncomfortable with it. Not only was it the
first
scene that we shot in the story, but it was the first scene of the
day!
And it's one of those scenes where you're kissing and talking and
kissing
and talking, so I was still trying to figure out how we work together
and
I wasn't quite sure what I was doing! But we figured it out really
quickly. I felt by the end of the first day that we worked together
that
we had figured it out. It's important to work with someone you trust.
I
trust John and I trust where he's taking us. John Driscoll: It's fun
because even I feel a little flustered in the scenes themselves --
myself
as an actor, but that's the fun part. When you see a lot of the smiles
[between us], they really are smiles. She's an animal! She eats me up
and
I love it! [Both laugh]
Be sure to check out the new issue for the rest of the fun -- and
revealing -- Q&A.
Tom Stacy: Greetings readers! Here's a little known secret from a
Digest
reporter's notebook: Every once in a while, fate steps in and guides
you
when choosing a lunch spot for dish with a soap star. Originally,
when I
was supposed to sit down with GH's Lisa LoCicero (Olivia), we chose an
Italian restaurant in Beverly Hills. Of course, it slipped my mind
that I
wasn't meeting Bensonhurst babe Olivia, but instead, the slim and trim
actress who plays her, Lisa. When we arrived, the place was packed and
loud, hardly conducive for our in-depth chat. So, we decided to walk
and
see what was around. We happened upon Luckyfish, a sushi place. While
it
wasn't our first choice (I admit, if you look up meat and potatoes in
the
dictionary, you'll see my picture.), the place gave us the privacy we
needed, a menu chock full of delicious and healthy items to choose
from
and fantastic service. As you'll see in the new Digest, Lisa gave us a
candid interview about her life in soaps and how, she believes, her
"slutty-looking face" got her the job. Somehow, I don't think the
feature
would have been as fun and intimate if we hadn't found the right
place to
talk so, lucky us!
WATER COOLER
Ever wonder what Digest editors talk about in the halls? Here's
what's on
our minds this week.
Devin Owens: For the nighttime sudser fan on your list, check this

CAMPAIGN TRAIL
You gotta love soap fans' creativity -- Digest regularly receives
doodads
and goodies from readers who know how to make a statement.
Elaine G. Flores: Pretty quiet week on the trail. Here's what's new:
- AMC's Bianca and Reese got love from fans at
http://sourceinterlink.r.delivery.net/r?
2.1.3Ky.2gt.11g2vw.C1Okce..N.KVJ6.
1lM.XEEbP000 - "What is paradise on a chilly winter day?" Watching
ATWT's
Roger Howarth (Paul) declared a fan.... Other Oakdale fans asked about
Noah, querying. "Who Is This Man?" and seeking details on his past....
Santa got requests for more Noah scenes and also for a CarJack
reunion. -
DAYS devotees sent "Sami Brady Fan" cards, calling her: "strong,
troubled,
devoted, sexy, feisty, passionate, defiant and courageous." We also
got
matching "DAYS is more fun with Bad EJ" cards.... Fans with a jones
for
Johnsons, made up new glossy postcards to again ask, "Where the hell
are
Steve and Kayla?".... Carolyn from Findlay, OH sent a card to say that
when John and Marlena exit, "that's when I leave also, after over 30
years
as a fan."... There were also cute holiday cards noting, "All I Want
For
Christmas is Daniel and Chelsea," featuring the duo in a snow globe.
Like I said, it was a slow week, that's it until next time.

Soap fans are a vocal bunch - see what fellow viewers are saying about

I'd like to take a moment to say "Congrats" to DAYS's Arianne Zucker
(Nicole) on her recent scenes when Nicole lost the baby. Her
performance
ripped my heart out. From the moment she was losing the baby, to the
dream, to back home and crying on the bed and yelling at anyone who
tried
to be nice. She was amazing! B.B., via the Internet
STAR SIGHTINGS
GL's Robert Newman (Josh) making his way through New York's Grand
Central
Terminal at evening rush hour.
IN PERSON
My daughter, Ashley, and I went to the Day of DAYS at Universal
CityWalk
in Hollywood. All the cast members were there to sign autographs. You
could also take pictures of them or with them. We got to meet Bryan R.
Dattilo (Lucas), Alison Sweeney (Sami), Shawn Christian (Daniel),
Stephen
Nichols (Steve), Mary Beth Evans (Kayla), Kevin Dobson (Mickey), Blake
Berris (Nick), Molly Burnett (Melanie) and Galen Gering (Rafe). My
daughter met Joe Mascolo (Stefano) in the parking garage when she
went to
get our jackets out of the car, because it started to rain on us.
Lucky
her, I didn't get to meet him. I wish we could've met the rest of the
cast, but there was a lot of people there and not enough time. They
all
were very nice and just as good looking as on TV. My favorite was
meeting
Lucas he is so hot! My daughter's favorite is Nick she thinks he's
hot!
Well maybe next time we can meet the rest of the cast. Wish the day
never
had to end. I'm attaching a few pictures at the signing. Thank you for
taking the time to listen to the best Day Of Our Lives! Christine &
Ashley, Hesperia, CA
I just came back from New Jersey after seeing GH's Steve Burton
(Jason),
Bradford Anderson (Spinelli), Derk Cheetwood (Max) and Brandon Barash
(Johnny) at the Sheraton Eatontown on 10/19. I have to tell you that
I was
pretty exhausted after a very long drive from Michigan but that was
one of
the best events that I have attended. All four of the guys were all so
friendly, appreciative and absolutely entertaining. I thought that
since
this would have been their third day in a row on their weekend tour
that
they would show signs of tiring but no way. I cannot thank them
enough for
their generosity and it is so good to know that they appreciate us
just as
much, if not more, than we do them. JoAnne, Dearborn Heights, MI
I recently met Brandon Barash at an appearance in Connecticut and I
can't
say enough nice things about him. He was extremely pleasant and very
personable, a down-to-earth kind of guy. It was a pleasure to meet
him and
I would most definitely like to meet him again! Monica G., New Haven,
CT
James Scott (EJ) and Arianne Zucker (Nicole) both were in Paducah, KY
for
the 52nd Annual Telethon of Stars. Both were a blessing to the
telethon
and added much excitement to the event. This is "EJ's" second
appearance
here. Lou J., Paducah, KY
Susan Seaforth Hayes (Julie, DAYS) and I were on stools next to each
other
editing digital prints on a store's computers when I noticed Bill
Hayes
(Doug) on her screen. I had just seen Bill in Chicago at the Golden
Apple
Theatre in Sarasota and she had some pictures of him with the cast so
we
talked about how good the production was and that we had missed her
that
day because she had to take her great-grandson home before it was
over. We
had our pictures taken with Bill after the show. We also talked about
other plays she and Bill had done in Sarasota that we had seen. She
kept
saying what a small world it was. She's definitely right about that, I
find that whenever I'm in L.A. or N.Y.C. I usually spot some soap
actor
that I don't expect to see. I love that. Diana, Bradenton, FL

Soap Scrambler Answer
Lauren Koslow (Kate)
December 5, 2008

in not one, but two items in our Top 10 Plus section.

PLUS...
•Finola Hughes (Anna) and Tristan Rogers (Robert) will both be
appearing when GH's Robin and Patrick finally tie the knot!
THE TOP 10 PLUS
1. GENERAL HOSPITAL's Jax and Carly can finally call the score even —
they both cheated on each other equally. Maybe now they can work on
getting their marriage back on track.
2. Like sands through the hourglass, so are the days of John's lives!
Why was DAYS' Brady even surprised Dad's a DiMera?
3. Bringing the Bon-Jour Café to Llanview on Thanksgiving was a
stroke of genius; not only did it remind viewers of last year's best
story, it also brought back fan faves ONE LIFE TO LIVE's Moe and
Noelle!
4. ALL MY CHILDREN's always had great psychos, but since when are
they superhuman? Annie didn't suffer a scratch after jumping off that
balcony!
5. Kudos to GH's Johnny for actually making good on his threat to
leave town if Claudia and Sonny married...
6. ...but is GH still trying to insist Johnny and Claudia aren't all
FLOWERS IN THE ATTIC? 'Cause he seemed totally jealous of his sis!
7. Note to AS THE WORLD TURNS' Jack: When you're on your millionth
wedding and the economy sucks, is it really wise to spring for a
$5,000 wedding dress?
8. How brilliant was OLTL's Erika Slezak (Viki) in those scenes in
the mausoleum? Just a reminder of how she won all those Emmys. A true
star.
9. With BOLD & BEAUTIFUL's Eric devastated from thinking it was Donna
he caught on camera with Owen, and GUIDING LIGHT's Alan clueless
about Beth running around with Coop, older men dating younger, hot
blondes are having the worst week ever.
10. Perhaps AMC's Greenlee taking care of Emma is in poor taste?
11. Only DAYS' Sami could land in a safe house and get free passes
out.
12. With all of its sideshows, THE YOUNG AND THE RESTLESS' Jabot
stockholders' meeting had more action than a three-ring circus.
THE CRAZIEST STUFF IN OUR MAILBAG
This isn't actually a crazy thing in our mailbag; it's pretty sane,
especially for the season. The AS THE WORLD TURNS-loving posters at
VanHansis.net have organized their second annual Project Holiday
Spirit campaign, which kicked off on Dec. 1, World AIDS Day, and
seeks to raise funds for Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS. 2007's
efforts raised more than $6,000. Visit http://phs.vanhansis.net for
more info.
WHY WE CLAPPED
ONE LIFE TO LIVE's Marty has been back in Llanview for quite a while
now, but it wasn't until she was able to confront the gaps in her
life that Marty was truly back. And that gave Susan Haskell the
opportunity she needed to cut loose. Haskell was actually physically
intimidating as Marty loomed over Todd and expressed her disgust at
the possibility of becoming pregnant by him, then gloated over
walking away from him. But Marty wasn't all fire; Haskell also
grappled with the pain of trying to integrate her Swiss-cheesed
memories. We won't soon forget Haskell's performance, so she gets
Applause, Applause kudos for Issue 51.

NIGHTWATCH
•From Senior Writer/Editor Joe Diliberto: After racing 30,000 miles
across five countries, the last three teams are set for the season
finale of the 13th cycle of THE AMAZING RACE this Sunday at 8
o'clock. I'm rooting for the brother/sister team of Nick & Starr to
edge out Andrew & Dan and leave Ken & Tina far in the dust. THE
AMAZING RACE always wins the reality Emmy, and this season should be
no different. I'm guessing last week's installment, in which
mother/son team Toni & Dallas were eliminated after he misplaced
their money and passports, will be featured in the show's Emmy reel.
But there were no recriminations or hard feelings, just a
compassionate Phil, who let the stragglers down easy — and didn't
force them to limp through the final leg of the stage. It's that
heart that sets the RACE apart.
•If you have little ones, cozy up to them on the couch and listen for
the voices of Josh Duhamel (ex-Leo, ALL MY CHILDREN) and Steve
Schirripa (ex-Bobby, THE SOPRANOS) in a holiday-themed episode of
animated series THE REPLACEMENTS on the Disney Channel Dec. 8 at 5
p.m. In "Dick Daring's All-Star Holiday Stunt Spectacular V," the
Daring family hosts their annual comedy show, featuring holiday-
themed sketches and musical numbers — which is where the guest stars
come in.
THE WE IN WEEKLY
•From Senior Editor Gabrielle Winkel: Yes, I am suffering from MAD
MEN withdrawal, but not from the absence of Jon Hamm from my radar.
Um, he's now EVERYWHERE. Let me share: of course he was stellar on
SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE recently, he was named one of People magazine's
Sexiest Men (great choice), he was one of GQ's Men of the Year and he
was the Man of Style in In Style magazine. And wait, there's more. As
I was going through my stack of fashion mags, I thought, isn't it
about time that he appears in a fashion spread? Why hasn't that
happened? Well, I hadn't opened the bible of all fashion mags, Vogue,
yet. The December issue, with Jennifer Aniston on the cover, had a
major fashion spread featuring Hamm as the male date, as it were, to
the female model. It's been a great photo-driven fall for Hamm fans,
of which I am one. Of course, I pride myself on being his fan for
more than a year. These people are just newcomers to the scene.
•From Editorial Assistant Julie Globus: I just have to say what a
wonderful job JR Martinez is doing on AMC as Brot. He has no prior
acting experience and is taking his heavy storyline in stride. So
bravo to JR for holding his own with the likes of Ricky Paull Goldin
and Beth Ehlers (Jake and Taylor) — a job well-done.
•From Editorial Assistant Meridith M. Miller: I'm disappointed that
after all this time, external circumstances are still preventing GL's
Bill and Lizzie from being happy together. First Jonathan came back
to Springfield and tried to keep them apart, then Bill and Lizzie
spent months arguing and fighting over Spaulding. They finally
settled their business differences and got it together, and then
Lizzie gets kidnapped. Bill saves her, and after being injured in a
bad accident, he wakes up and is indicted for the kidnapping he
rescued her from. When will the torture of "Bizzie" end? Bill can't
remember anything, so it doesn't look like relief for the lovebirds
will come anytime soon. I'll keep my fingers crossed, though, because
all I want for Christmas is peace and love for Bill and Lizzie.
•From West Coast Editor Janet Di Lauro: Y&R's Billy really is a chip
off the old block. Not from his father John, mind you, but rather his
big brother Jack. The youngest Abbott son is a bona fide Jack mini-
me. He connives like a master, pulls the wool over people's eyes like
a pro, and, just like his senior sibling, does it all with a grin. If
ever Y&R deserves kudos for a sublime casting choice, it's for
bringing in Billy Miller to play multiple daytime Emmy-winner Peter
Bergman's baby bro.

his marriage sky-high," admits Peter Bergman (Jack). And things may
get even worse. Pick up the Jan. 13 issue of Soap Opera Weekly for
the details.

character already on the Llanview canvas.

Spoilers for down the road: 2009 preview
Grant Aleksander rejoins the cast as Phillip Spaulding on February
6th. David Andrew MacDonald returns as the Prince of Darkness -
Edmund Winslow on January 22, 2009. Both returns will have huge
impacts on Springfield.
Edmund's return will mean big changes for Reva, Josh, Jeffrey, Shayne
and Dinah - all of those who he feels have wronged him (or are
related to them). With Cassie gone to Hawaii, Edmund's focus is on
those who he feels let her move on without him.
Phillip's return (during a wedding, TPTB reveal) will certainly have
impact on the Spauldings - Lizzie, Beth and Alan, the Coopers, ex-
wives Blake and Olivia and BFF Rick. But which Phillip will be
returning? He has something up his sleeve (like Edmund) but we won't
know what all they are up to for awhile - which is a good thing.
Phillip and Alan square off both with Alan's shooting of him and his
relationship with Beth. Phillip's return happens at a key point in
the Coop/Beth/Alan romance. But who will Beth end up with? Beth will
share airtime with her other ex-husband (Edmund) as well.
Phillip and Reva will connect now that they share a grandchild (baby
Sarah). In the meantime, Reva's big goal is to give birth to a
healthy, happy son. Jeffrey and Reva butt heads over her ideas, but
Jeffrey does all he can to protect Reva and his son. Reva and Jeffrey
will have great scenes with child birthing classes and a huge baby
shower. TPTB do promise that despite some close calls, Reva will give
birth to a healthy son.
Beth and Coop's relationship comes out into the open - which will
bring out a lot of drama for many of Springfield's citizens. With the
return of Phillip, and the anger of Alan, can their relationship
survive? When Alan learns the truth, he issues Beth an ultimatum
which affects many in Springfield.
Shayne has a lot of emotional baggage to unload before he move on -
but look for his relationship with Dinah to be a good move for both
people with bad luck in love.
Phillip owes Blake an apology for his part in Ross's death. Will
Blake ever forgive her ex?
With Ava out of Springfield, Remy will grow closer to Christina. He
really wants to help her with the goal to become a doctor. She'll be
tempted with some dangerous choices, but Remy will use his experience
to try to get her back on track.
Phillip's return means more challenges for Rick - and hopefully more
airtime! Rick and Olivia's bond over their heart transplants will
continue to flourish. Natalia and Frank grow a little closer,
finally, and Natalia does something for Frank when he needs a favor
the most.
Last year gave Lizzie and Bill a number of tests to their
relationship, which will continue. After all of her problems with men
and relationships, Lizzie wants to take a break from love for awhile,
leaving Bill to have to work hard to keep her love alive. But GL's
writers state that this couple will have happiness in the new year.
Bill's parents have their hands full with Bill and Dinah. Billy still
thinks of getting back with Vanessa, once things settle down a bit.
Phillip's Aunt Alex will see more air time and fans will see how all
of the family struggles have affected her.
Dinah and Grady's schemes are over, but their secrets keep the
connection strong. Both will pay in some way for Lizzie's kidnapping .
Frank and Natalia finally take a chance on romance in 2009. And Rafe
will be released from prison.
Mallet and Marina try to adopt in the new year.

SOAP OPERA DIGEST INSIDER
December 31, 2008
Greetings From The Editor
Stephanie Sloane
Dear Readers,
The New Year is kicking off with a bang all over daytime. GH's Jason
will
be pushed to make his most difficult choice yet, while newlyweds
Robin and
Patrick face a serious medical issue and Carly and Jax try, try again
to
make things work. In other news, Y&R's Sharon dumps Jack and ATWT's
Lucinda will finally find out that Brian is gay -- from a most
unlikely
source. We also have the exclusive exit interview with DAYS's Blake
Berris, whose run as Nick comes to an end on January 15. "If you're
going
to go out, there's not a cooler way to go out," he told me. "I was
basically playing my dream role right at the end there." But the best
part
of the new issue may just be the treasure trove of old pictures that
we
found of your favorite stars. Check all of this out -- and more -- in
your
next issue and I hope you all have a happy and healthy 2009.
TALES FROM THE INTERVIEW
STEPHANIE SLOANE: I first met Grayson McCouch in 1993, when he joined
ANOTHER WORLD as Morgan. We had our first sit-down interview in 1994,
where he told me, "You are not a good actor until you have had 20
years."
When I brought it up to him during our most recent interview, he
laughed,
"I said that? That's cool. I got 25 on me now. That's just
professionally.
I educated myself at this game. This is what I am going to do for
life and
it feels great to be 40 and be getting paid." The actor, who hit the
four-decade mark in October, gave a revelatory look at his year away
from
Oakdale, which included a disappointing trip to Los Angeles, the
heartbreaking death of his beloved dog, George, and a life-changing
trip
to Italy with his mother. "I came back invigorated to come back and
looking forward to coming back and wanting to come back in a different
shape and form," he told me. "The year I was away from that show was
like
nothing I had estimated, so finding myself back on AS THE WORLD
TURNS, my
perspective has changed. My perspective on the people around me has
changed, everything has changed." To hear more from the introspective,
intelligent McCouch, who postponed leaving for his country house to
chat,
saying, "I'm finishing my interview with you first before I get on the
road. Stephanie, seriously, I didn't want to be driving for this
interview
because it was important to me," check out the next issue of Digest.
I had a two-fer this issue, because in addition to McCouch, I also
interviewed Kevin Dobson (Mickey, DAYS). Now, I have to confess that
I am
a huge KNOTS LANDING fan (the brass at SOAPnet knows this well; I was
near
devastated when they stopped airing the show and told them all about
it)
and Mack McKenzie was my favorite character. So, needless to say, I
was
pretty thrilled when he joined the cast of DAYS. I spoke with the
actor
right before their holiday break and he dazzled me with stories of
how he
broke into acting. It was a long, hard road for Dobson, who worked on
the
Long Island Railroad and as a taxi driver to make ends meet. He hit
rock
bottom in L.A. in the early '70s and revealed, "I had 0;walking
pneumonia.
I ran out of gas and I had to coast down to a gas station and at the
time,
gas was 47 cents a gallon and all I had was 46 cents. I got the
gallon of
gas and I was done. I could not rub 2 cents together. I still had the
passion for my acting career, but I was finished." The next day, he
booked
a role on KOJAK and he has been working ever since. Though he'd like
to
see Mickey in Salem more, he's happy to be an employed actor. Read all
about him in the next issue.

CAMPAIGN TRAIL
You gotta love soap fans' creativity -- Digest regularly receives
doodads
and goodies from readers who know how to make a statement.
Elaine G. Flores: As you'd expect, soap fans took advantage of the
holidays to come up with attention-getting themes for their
campaigns.
-- ATWT's Luke and Noah devotees created a bound book of letters to
Santa.
Their wishes ranged from more shirtless scenes to interaction with
Noah
and Dusty to "better living arrangements for them where they don't
have to
worry about Grandma Emma's rules."
-- AMC's Zach and Kendall fans sent a 'Twas The Night Before Christmas
poem, custom-tailored for their favorite duo. This version started off
with: " 'Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the Slater
house not a creature was stirring, not even a back-stabbing sister or
a
pseudo-lesbian louse." It concluded: "Zach laughed and cuddled Kendall
close, 'Oh, my love' he said, 'Anyone who tires to get between us is
toast!' Team Slater together again is truly a sight, And they want to
wish
'Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good night!' " Someone also
created
a really pretty pop-up card of the duo.
-- A crafty DAYS viewer put together a lovely fabric Christmas banner,
embellished with pictures of Steve and Kayla. There was also a bottle
of
Korbel "To ring in 2009 with hopes that Steve and Kayla get a great
new
storyline." Talk about champagne wishes.
-- Also in the mix: A cute card urging Y&R to reunite Lily and Cane,
whose
images were superimposed on to ornaments and a wish for "Happy
Phickalicious Holidays" from the Nick and Phyllis crew. The fans
included
their names and how long they've been watching from just one to 35
years.... DAYS "Ejami" fans note that just one EJ/Sami hug can "make
those
winter chills disappear.".... GH's Jason and Sam fans are delighted
that
the pair are "Coming Home For Christmas" and ATWT's Jack/Janet fans
are
cheering that "Our Christmas Present Came Early" with the newlyweds
nups.
Here's hoping all you soap fans have daytime dreams come true in
2009.
TYPE SET
I have been watching DAYS since 1985. I've shed my tears (a whole
box). I
have been continuously angered and shocked by both storyline and
casting
changes, but I have to say that this move [firing Deidre Hall and
Drake
Hogestyn] is insane.... But I take comfort in knowing that there will
never be another Marlena and John, as they have set standards and
provided
a quality of work that viewers have come to expect. They are
icons.....

IN PERSON
A few years ago the Rite Aid Health & Beauty Expo came to Sacramento,
CA.
My mom and I played hooky from work so we could attend. Here's a
photo of
my mom, Dee Perry, and Jackie Zeman (Bobby, GH) and Jackie and I. She
was
such a sweetheart! She took time to chat with everyone, sign
autographs
and pose for photos. Drake Hogestyn (John, DAYS) was also at the
Expo. We
didn't get a chance to meet him. His line was REALLY long, he's a
popular
guy you know! Ha Ha! Lori Hannah, Citrus Heights, CA

THE WE IN WEEKLY
The late Eileen Herlie (ex-Myrtle, AMC)
—ABC
•From Copy Chief Michael Karol: The December 19 episode of ALL MY
CHILDREN, a tribute to the late Eileen Herlie (Myrtle Fargate), was
not only a bittersweet valentine to Herlie and the fabulous character
she played for more than 30 years, but an early holiday present to
longtime fans of the show, as well. For once — in a long time — AMC
did something absolutely right, and in the best tradition of the TV
soap opera. The tribute episode was wonderful — sad, funny, touching,
respectful, and everything it should have been.
Herlie, a classical actress, brought out the best in every other
actor she played opposite, especially pros like Susan Lucci (Erica),
Jill Larson (Opal), Darnell Williams (Jesse), Debbi Morgan (Angie)
and Thorsten Kaye (Zach). The writers' device of having Myrtle send
presents to all her Pine Valley friends ("all her children") — that
were opened after her death — was simple yet effective, and a natural
trigger for flashbacks (expertly chosen and blended in with a
memorial service held at a makeshift carnival, courtesy of Zach and
his construction crew). For example, when Opal opened her gift,
Myrtle's crystal ball from her "carny" days, it triggered a memory
that taught Opal's son Petey that Myrtle was much more than the "nice
old lady" he thought he knew.
Zach's loss of his dear friend (on top of Kendall being in a coma)
drove the macho man to lock himself in an elevator at the memorial
service, tears streaming down his face, not able to face anyone. It
was a touching, true moment, of the kind that's rare on AMC or any
soap these days. I found myself tearing up on any number of
occasions; it became obvious that every actor sharing his or her
memories really felt a strong loss at Herlie's passing.
I've been watching AMC since the early 1980s, and this episode
compares favorably with any of the best. One can only hope that
Herlie, and her equally fantastic AMC cohorts Langley (Louis Edmonds)
and Phoebe (Ruth Warrick), are stirring it up somewhere else in the
cosmos. I miss their presences here.
•From Assistant Editor Julie Globus: I really enjoyed watching
Greenlee seeing Ryan, Annie and Emma's home video on AMC. Something
needed to make her feel like the homewrecker she is (not that Ryan
doesn't shoulder the blame, as well). What they've done to Annie was
painful to watch, and it was nice to see that addressed...finally!
•From Senior Editor Gabrielle Winkel: It's Tuesday, and I'm watching
ONE LIFE TO LIVE, which is what I'm usually doing at around 2 p.m.
Again, I beg the people at OLTL (and A Martinez) to please bring Ray
back for a longer stint in Llanview. And here's why: There was more
electricity between Tea and Ray on the telephone than I've seen in
the past few weeks between Cristian and Vanessa in person. There,
I've said it. Moving right along, it's gotta be said that love does
sometimes make men and women stupid. Todd is so besotted with Marty
that he doesn't see a train wreck in his future.

moment is sharred between the twol. As she heads out she passes by
Paul's room. When he sees her he tries to convince her to help him be
able to see Meg and Eliza. She does so and both head to the Snyder
Farm only to see that Meg isn't at all thrilled to see either of
them. Craig wants Parker to see Johnny but when he learns that Dusty
left with him he hits the roof. He soon arrives at the Lakeview and
whisks Johnny away from a stunned Josie, who is baby-sitting. She
immediately calls Dusty.
Lily gives Craig the suggestion to get his life in order if he wants

if she will be his wife. At home, Casey tells Tom that he has

to lunch with Casey.
What to Watch: The Need for Closure
Lucinda, still burning from Brian's betrayal, makes it a point to
continue to give Luke the cold shoulder. Jade calls her on it and
tells her to stop blaming Luke for things that her husband has done.
Taking it to heart Lucinda goes to find Noah. When they sit down to
talk, she tries to persuade him to take Luke back. Jade soon appears
and Noah fingers her as the one trying to stir things up by using
Lucinda to do her bidding. He tells Jade that there is nothing more
between him and Luke. Casey in the meantime is trying to talk to Luke
about making up with Noah and it is at Old Town where Luke pours his
heart out to Noah. Noah moved by what Luke has said pulls him into a
kiss. Luke and Noah head home and share ice cream with Lucinda who
soon makes peace with her grandson. The next day at Worldwide Lucinda
is burning Brian's belongings when he shows up. He once again pleads
with her to help him find closure but she rebuffs him. Crushed by her
rejection Brian heads to Java where he encounters Noah. There he asks
Noah into convincing him to get Luke to speak to him. Noah tells
Brian he will do no such thing but also points out that he and Luke
are together again. Although pleased that things worked out for them
Brian leaves and heads back to the Lakeview. Worried that Brian might
hurt himself he follows him but Brian refuses to let him in. Noah
calls Luke who comes to the Lakeview. They immediately begin to think
that Brian is thinking suicide but Brian refutes the claim. As he's
admitting that he is in fact gay, Lucinda arrives and the two finally
talk.
Janet questions Liberty about her and Parker. Liberty tells her that
she and Parker are seeing one another, to which Jack instantly puts
his foot down on. Jack's not only surprised that Janet is allowing it
but that Carly agrees with her. Jack soon starts to worry that Carly
is too close to Craig. Meanwhile, Lily tries to explain why she
didn't want Holden helping her by lending her money for Metro. Back
at the house Parker and Liberty are alone in his bedroom and the two
begin to make love when Jack barges in. Embarrassed at being caught,
Liberty flees out of the house and an upset Parker takes off after
her. Jack finds Carly with Lily having lunch and begins to place the
blame not only on her but Janet for allowing the teens to see one
another. Carly surprises herself when she tells Jack that she agrees
with Janet that the kids have to be trusted enough to be responsible.

SOAP OPERA DIGEST INSIDER
January 8, 2009
Greetings From The Editor
Lynn Leahey
Dear Readers,
Prepare for some farewells in the coming weeks. The biggest, of
course, is
the departure from DAYS of Drake Hogestyn and Deidre Hall on January
23. A
breakthrough for John is right around the corner and it involves a
break-in and a major confrontation; get the details in your new
issue. And
on ATWT, Laurence Lau has wrapped up his guest turn as Brian, but he
hopes
it won't be his last. "I'd play this character again in a heartbeat,"
raves the actor. "The cast of this show is terrific." Also out is
AMC's
Krystal -- not from Pine Valley, but from her shaky marriage to Tad,
who
learns his wife has been cheating on him with David. But that's not
the
worst of it for Krystal -- check out Late-Breaking News for more.
TALES FROM THE INTERVIEW
LAUREN FLYNN: The last article I wrote on the multitalented Catherine
Hickland (Lindsay, OLTL) was called "The Heart Healer," in reference
to
the column Genie Francis's character wrote in the 2007 tearjerker THE
NOTE. I had no idea at the time that we would be discussing a 30-
chapter
book aimed at helping women overcome heartbreak. I was impressed, but
0;even more so when an advanced copy hit my desk this past November,
the
very same week that my best friend admitted to me a heartbreaking
truth:
Her co-workers often find her crying in her cubicle over her semi-
recent
breakup. So I decided to use her as the ultimate prep for my December
interview with Hickland and put her on The 30-Day Heartbreak Cure,
which
is now in stores and available at Amazon.com. She loved it, although
she
did suffer a setback that the author herself offered to help my friend
through! The latest interview, conducted exactly one year after the
first,
is called "How to Heal" but not for the reason you think. Hickland
doesn't
babble on and on trying to get you to buy this book (but I will -- if
your
heartbroken friend is lost, this book will change her life and yours).
Instead, she talks about her latest mission, healing through
hypnosis, as
well as a few other exhaustive endeavors she's taken on. This woman
never
ceases to impress me; I can't wait to see what she's up to next year!
(Oh,
yeah, and she's still on recurring status with OLTL, so don't worry --
you'll see her again this year.)
NAOMI RABINOWITZ: I truly enjoyed speaking with Billy Miller (Billy,
Y&R)
for my feature on him in the 1/20 issue. For one thing, Miller is
always
on time for interviews, and in this case, was even a little early.
Believe
me, in our fast-paced business, respecting our deadlines is much
appreciated. I also like chatting with him because he's not only
funny and
quotable, but always manages to share something unexpected.
During our latest talk, I was surprised to learn that before becoming
an
actor he overcame a potentially debilitating bone disorder and then
developed his own bar building company when he was just a teen. "I
can be
a bit of an ass sometimes and will do what I can to push myself," he
joked.
However, he's clearly a hard worker. Though he received positive
reviews
while playing AMC's evil Richie and is quickly gaining popularity as
Billy, "I'm still brand new to soaps," he clarifies. "This may be my
second show, but a lot of it was luck. There are some great actors on
Y&R
and there were great actors on ALL MY CHILDREN, too. I'm just trying
to
sit back and learn from them. I take classes ... I never expected to
just
come in and be this perfect actor."
That said, he's fit right in with the Abbotts on Y&R -- for which he
gives
a lot of the credit to TV brother Peter Bergman (Jack). "Peter's
really
been there for me," he praises. "The guy knows everything about the
show,
so if I have any questions about my character or past storylines, he
always helps me out. I'm really glad I ended up being a part of this
family that has all of this history."

CAMPAIGN TRAIL
You gotta love soap fans' creativity -- Digest regularly receives
doodads
and goodies from readers who know how to make a statement.
Elaine G. Flores: Hello, fans! Happy New Year! This week you ushered
in
2009 with a variety of brand new additions to the trail.
GH enthusiasts sent the highest volume of mail and also came up with
the
most unusual ideas this week. For starters, fans of Jason (Steve
Burton)
and Elizabeth (Rebecca Herbst) mailed in real "For Sale" signs to
support
the Second Annual Liason Event, which will be held on January 24 at
the
Palazzo Hotel in Las Vegas. "I am so excited to meet Steve and Becky.
They
have such amazing talent and chemistry. I'm traveling from Florida,"
wrote
Heather. I hear that though tickets are going fast, there are still
some
available. For more information, visit
http://sourceinterlink.r.delivery.net/r?
2.1.3Ky.2gt.11g2vw.C2fgX8..N.MydG.
1tA.DeMEcX00. (This is all happening right around my birthday, so I
think
my boss Lynn should stick a couple of plane tickets to Vegas in my
card.).
I guess Liz and Jason like Mexican food because we also received
packets
of Lawry's Enchilada Sauce mix. The packages were accompanied by
postcards
proclaiming "Bad Boys Do..." And "Good Girls Can..." The fans
0;filled in
the blanks with their own handwritten sentiments such as "make love
and
war" and "raise kids and hell."... Liz's rival Sam got some love, too
via
an assortment of Happy New Year cards from Kelly Monaco loyalists. The
assortment of postcards were printed with messages like "Jason & Sam
Are
So Fine in 2009" and "A New Year, A New Chance At Love."... At least
one
fan is stumping for a retro redo, Elaine from Florida writes, "In the
new
year, I'd like to see an Anna and Duke reunion on GH. It has been
exactly
20 years since they were torn apart by the warehouse explosion. A
Jesse
and Angie-style reunion is in order." The card featured a sexy tango
shot
of the pair and the message, "Anna & Duke (it takes two)"
Over on the AMC front, Patricia from Chicago sent cards to
say, "Welcome
back Alicia [Minshew] And Welcome back Kendall Hart! No one could
fill our
place, you are indeed the heart and soul of this show." She also
scrawled
the phrase "Time for Revenge!!!" on the cards and added, "Bring us
back
the take-no-prisoner, kick-ass Kendall Hart!" I want to stay on
Patricia's
good side..... There were romantic cards from
http://sourceinterlink.r.delivery.net/r?
2.1.3Ky.2gt.11g2vw.C2fgX8..N.MydI.
1tA.EDcEcZ00 pronouncing "Bianca and Reese -- great together." Someone
else sent cards demanding that AMC "Stop Insulting Lesbians." The fan
wrote, "We are not BAD people. We are human. We don't need a man in
the
middle of our relationship to survive." .... There was also a card
with a
black and white shot of Aiden Turner and the message "Aidan Devane, A
Darker Shade of Gray? Yeah, Baby!!! AT Rocks AMC!"
There were several glossy cards to plead, "Give us back the good old
days
... When Luke and Noah were happy, affectionate, and together on
ATWT!".... Meanwhile, there was an array of cards with pictures of
Roger
Howarth (Paul) "Peg" fans have "Hope for Paul and Meg". There was
also a
cute birth announcement to "welcome their beautiful angel Eliza into
the
WORLD!" The crew at
http://sourceinterlink.r.delivery.net/r?
2.1.3Ky.2gt.11g2vw.C2fgX8..N.MydK.
1tA.EJMEcb00 sent a mélange of love notes.
In terms of DAYS, there's a new "Ejami" card with the
phrase, "Desperately
Searching for Grey EJ." A fan wrote, "We miss our bad boy and want him
back ASAP. Sami and their children need him."... Another DAYS devotee
said
it with a rhyme: "Lift Up Your Glasses And Let's Give A Toast. It's
Steve
& Kayla We Want to See The Most!"
The folks at soapteens.com urge B&B to "Break the Cycle of 'Family
Love'
Keep Steffy and Marcus Together!"
And Y&R newbie Eden already has support with this message: "No one
said it
would be easy. I'm glad to see Eden is sticking around Genoa City!"
TYPE SET
The scenes between GH's Elizabeth and Lucky playing video games and
her
helping with his taxes on the 1/7 episode were completely adorable.
It was
nice after two-plus years of constant grimaces and looks of secret
pain
and longing to see Elizabeth laughing and smiling again. I had almost
forgotten she knew how to do that. It was refreshing to see scenes
that
allowed Lucky to have not only a personality but a sense of humor. The
jokes, teasing and the comfortable familiar knowledge of what the
other
was thinking was a wonderful reminder of what this couple once was. I
hope
that GH continues with this direction and gives us more scenes like
this.

ASK US
Answers to your burning questions
Q. I'm a little confused about something. The girl who plays Haley on
ONE
TREE HILL looks just like the actress who played Michelle on GL in the
'90s, but I do not recognize her name. Can you clear this up for me?
Are
they the same actress, and if so, when/why did she change her name?
T.F.,
Boston, MA
A. Yes, they are the same. As Joie Lenz, Bethany Joy Galeotti played
GL's
Michelle Bauer from 1998-2000. She began going by her birth name,
Bethany
Joy Lenz, when she took the role of ONE TREE HILL's Haley in 2003. On
December 31, 2005, she married Enation band member Michael Galeotti,
thus
becoming Bethany Joy Galeotti.

THE TOP 10 PLUS
OLTL's David (Tuc Watkins)
—ABC
1. Robin and Patrick's wedding on GENERAL HOSPITAL was brilliantly
done, with the return of Robert and Anna, the focus on family, and
the use of the show's history. Including flashbacks!
2. GH should leave LuSam together. Sam brings out the Spencer side of
Lucky, and when given airtime, they're fun to watch.
3. David Vickers is back in ONE LIFE TO LIVE's Llanview. Con artist
or reformed monk, we love him.
4. How is it that even with a Puddle of Mudd performance at Ultra
Violet, OLTL's Addie still had the best party on New Year's?
5. If YOUNG AND RESTLESS' Olivia is such an expert on relationships,
why did she come back to town still single?
6. Considering Theo's penchant for wandering off, DAYS OF OUR LIVES'
Abe and Lexie should invest in a full-time bodyguard for the tyke.
7. Why hasn't anyone in town thought of running a DNA test on Y&R's
back-from-the-dead Kay?
8. It was a kick to see GUIDING LIGHT's Alan encounter the new
Shayne — played by Jeff Branson, who portrayed a young Alan in
flashbacks during the Maryanne and Carrie Caruthers story of 2003-'04.
9. DAYS' Daniel sure gets around. With all these affairs, he should
get some advice from Y&R's resident "sex addict," Jack.
10. Why is everyone surprised that OLTL's Cole is on drugs? When we
met him, he was taking steroids...
FOR YOUR EYES ONLY
David Andrew Macdonald (Edmund, GL)
—JPI
•From Assistant Editor Meridith M. Miller: The time has almost come
for GL fan favorite David Andrew Macdonald to return to Springfield
as Edmund. As if his return isn't exciting enough, fans will be
pleased to know that the writers have cooked up a fantastic twist to
reintroduce the "Dark Prince." I can't spill the beans, but here's a
hint: Edmund's return is tied to Shayne in some way. Macdonald told
me how much he's enjoyed being back in the studio. "It's always nice
to have the opportunity to come back," he said, "especially since I'm
so connected to the show. And also, as a New York actor, it's a
wonderful gig to have." Macdonald also noted the great time he's been
having working with Jeff Branson (Shayne). "Working with the current
incarnation of Shayne, Jeff, is really wonderful. He's a lot of fun
to work with, so it's been a pleasure." And it'll be a pleasure when
Macdonald returns to our TV screens. Stay tuned.
WHY WE CLAPPED
Kyle Lowder (Rick, B&B)
—JPI
Kyle Lowder's Rick spent Christmas at Phoebe's gravesite, keeping THE
BOLD AND THE BEAUTIFUL's viewers glued to their screens. Lowder
physically fought to contain Rick's emotions by clenching his eyes
and gritting his teeth. He gave voice to Rick's anguish, and when
Taylor arrived, let loose his more wistful feelings. We wished to
bestow Applause, Applause kudos on Lowder for Issue 2.

NIGHTWATCH
Vincent Pastore
—JPI
•From Senior Writer/Editor Joe Diliberto: THE SOPRANOS — The Complete
Series is now available, collecting every episode on 33 DVDs, and
listing for $399.98. Vincent Pastore, best known for playing Big
Pussy on that legendary mob series, took on the role of mob kingpin
Maximus Giambetti on GENERAL HOSPITAL for a few weeks this past fall,
so I could not resist asking him for his impression of HBO's highly
controversial series finale, which left fans in the dark.
PASTORE: I was totally disappointed with it. I spoke to David [Chase,
the series' creator], and I said, "Why'd you do that to the public?"
He said, "It's over." And I said, "Why didn't you give them a
finale?" I think that they did that because they don't know if they
are going to do a movie; they don't know if they are coming back to
television, so they didn't give us closure. I know a lot of fans are
disappointed. Just to go to black? After watching for six years? Can
I ask you, how did you feel?
WEEKLY: I was so shocked; I thought my cable went out.
PASTORE: I think David's computer broke down when he was writing the
scene. He never finished, and just turned it in.
WEEKLY: I just made up my own ending. I decided the blackness meant
Tony got whacked.
PASTORE: Everyone says, "Are they gonna make a movie?" How are they
gonna make a movie [without] all the characters that were rich and
entertaining? Paulie Walnuts, he's still there. Silvio's in a coma.
Christopher's dead. Big Pussy's dead. All these guys are dead. Are
they gonna make a movie with a whole new crew? Is it gonna be about
the kids growing up?
WEEKLY: THE SOPRANOS: THE NEXT GENERATION?
PASTORE: The next generation? You know what — that doesn't entertain
me. What entertains me is maybe if they make a movie about the
beginning, like The Godfather, Part II. Are they gonna use all-new
actors with Jimmy [Gandolfini, Tony]? The reason why Sex and the City
was a hit was because it was the same cast. You know what I'm saying?
Gimme those characters back again, and take us back to the beginning.
That's what I'd do.
WEEKLY: Maybe they could use the ghost of Pussy?
PASTORE: Maybe. I'm not asking Hollywood to give me a job or
something like that; I'm just saying, if you're gonna make a movie
about THE SOPRANOS, what are you gonna make it about? When CHEERS was
over, CHEERS was over. When FRIENDS was over, it was over. It's done.
THE WE IN WEEKLY
AMC's Kendall (Alicia Minshew)
—ABC
•From Assistant Editor Julie Globus: With ALL MY CHILDREN's Kendall
in such a precarious position, I need to take a moment to reflect on
all the additional hurdles she will face if she wakes up. I am so
disappointed with how AMC has handled Gabrielle's parentage. What
should have been the beautiful welcoming to the world of a baby girl
became a travesty when AMC chose the absolute worst father for Bianca
and Reese's baby. Scratch that: Zach is hardly a poor choice for a
father. The worst choice was simply the way the story was written.
It's hardly shocking that Bianca would look to Zach for a sperm
donation. His DNA would allow the new baby to be biologically related
to Miranda, not to mention the fact that Zach is a man she loves and
respects. What was absolutely shocking was both Zach and Bianca's
decisions to keep the truth from Kendall. If AMC had stayed true to
Zach's character and to his relationship with Kendall, he never would
have made the decision to father Bianca and Reese's baby without her
input. Likewise, Bianca, who has long been known as a pillar of
morality, would never have gone behind her sister's back in such a
way, or kept the secret for so long. AMC essentially threw Bianca, a
much-beloved character, to the wolves by having her come between Zach
and Kendall. And the worst part of all? Had Zach and Bianca acted in
character, and asked Kendall before making such a life-changing
decision, the odds are that she, acting in character, would have said
yes. This is the woman who was ready to give up her own biological
child to her best friend. I hope that next time, AMC will stay true
to its characters, and avoid the backlash of the century.

ATWT Actress Returns!
Kristina Sisco Romero is back at AS THE WORLD TURNS, but not as
Abigail. The actress, who left Oakdale in September 2002, directed
the January 15 episode. "It was quite by happenstance, because my
talent manager and I had seen some rumors on the Internet that they
were thinking about bringing Abigail back to the show," recalls
Romero. "So she ended up calling Chris [Goutman, executive producer]
and talking to him and she starting telling him about the things that
I've been doing. I just graduated USC with my Masters in writing and
directed some things, so it came to the point where she asked if
there were any opportunities. He said, 'If Kristina's really
interested in directing, she can come out and shadow the directors
and learn.' So I ended up talking to Chris myself and he was just so
receptive to the idea and so welcoming. It was wonderful. I got to
come out to New York and I stayed with Terri Colombino [Katie] and
her husband Artie and essentially went back to AS THE WORLD TURNS. At
the end, Chris was nice enough to give me scenes to direct and I
directed Jon Hensley [Holden], who played my dad, Michael Park [Jack]
and Noelle Beck [Lily]. I directed five or six scenes with them and
it ended up going so well that Chris invited me back to do my own
show and that's what I did in the end of November." Tune in 1/15 to
see Romero's turn behind the cameras.
Yup, They Did It!
After months of fan anticipation for when landmark gay male duo Noah
and Luke would hit the sheets, AS THE WORLD TURNS pulled off a good,
old-fashioned soap surprise with a little smokin' Nuke-lear energy in
yesterday's episode. "We have been telling Luke and Noah's story in a
sensitive and respectful way. The scenes were a natural progression
of their relationship and the time seemed right for this couple to
reach this milestone," a rep for the show tells Weekly. And Nuke fans
certainly seem to agree — so far, the cleverly unspoiled love scene
is garnering rave reviews!

Grant Aleksander rejoins the cast as Phillip Spaulding on February
6th. David Andrew MacDonald returns as the Prince of Darkness -
Edmund Winslow on January 22, 2009. Both returns will have huge
impacts on Springfield.
Edmund's return will mean big changes for Reva, Josh, Jeffrey, Shayne
and Dinah - all of those who he feels have wronged him (or are
related to them). With Cassie gone to Hawaii, Edmund's focus is on
those who he feels let her move on without him.
Phillip's return (during a wedding, TPTB reveal) will certainly have
impact on the Spauldings - Lizzie, Beth and Alan, the Coopers, ex-
wives Blake and Olivia and BFF Rick. But which Phillip will be
returning? He has something up his sleeve (like Edmund) but we won't
know what all they are up to for awhile - which is a good thing.
Phillip and Alan square off both with Alan's shooting of him and his
relationship with Beth. Phillip's return happens at a key point in
the Coop/Beth/Alan romance. But who will Beth end up with? Beth will
share airtime with her other ex-husband (Edmund) as well.
Phillip and Reva will connect now that they share a grandchild (baby
Sarah). In the meantime, Reva's big goal is to give birth to a
healthy, happy son. Jeffrey and Reva butt heads over her ideas, but
Jeffrey does all he can to protect Reva and his son. Reva and Jeffrey
will have great scenes with child birthing classes and a huge baby
shower. TPTB do promise that despite some close calls, Reva will give
birth to a healthy son.
Beth and Coop's relationship comes out into the open - which will
bring out a lot of drama for many of Springfield's citizens. With the
return of Phillip, and the anger of Alan, can their relationship
survive? When Alan learns the truth, he issues Beth an ultimatum
which affects many in Springfield.
Shayne has a lot of emotional baggage to unload before he move on -
but look for his relationship with Dinah to be a good move for both
people with bad luck in love.
Phillip owes Blake an apology for his part in Ross's death. Will
Blake ever forgive her ex?
With Ava out of Springfield, Remy will grow closer to Christina. He
really wants to help her with the goal to become a doctor. She'll be
tempted with some dangerous choices, but Remy will use his experience
to try to get her back on track.
Phillip's return means more challenges for Rick - and hopefully more
airtime! Rick and Olivia's bond over their heart transplants will
continue to flourish. Natalia and Frank grow a little closer,
finally, and Natalia does something for Frank when he needs a favor
the most.
Last year gave Lizzie and Bill a number of tests to their
relationship, which will continue. After all of her problems with men
and relationships, Lizzie wants to take a break from love for awhile,
leaving Bill to have to work hard to keep her love alive. But GL's
writers state that this couple will have happiness in the new year.
Bill's parents have their hands full with Bill and Dinah. Billy still
thinks of getting back with Vanessa, once things settle down a bit.
Phillip's Aunt Alex will see more air time and fans will see how all
of the family struggles have affected her.
Dinah and Grady's schemes are over, but their secrets keep the
connection strong. Both will pay in some way for Lizzie's kidnapping .
Frank and Natalia finally take a chance on romance in 2009. And Rafe
will be released from prison.
Mallet and Marina try to adopt in the new year.

-- A marriage of convenience...
THIS WEEK ON: AS THE WORLD TURNS
Vienna prepares to work her magic in getting Katie and Brad back
together again, while Dusty advises Brad not to be an idiot in
letting Craig's actions ruin what he has with his wife. Katie decides
to contact Brad and the two meet at Metro to talk things through.
After deciding on taking Craig out of the equation of their lives,
they make up. The CBS Daytime line-up is pre-empted on Tuesday,
January 20 for President-elect Barack Obama's Inauguration.
The Inside Story: Indecent Proposal
Craig's constant contact with Parker sets Jack off, who demands to
know why Craig suddenly wants to be 'involved' in his son's life. Not
pleased, Jack hightails it over to see Carly. The two instantly get
into an argument where Jack threatens to haul Carly into court if she
doesn't keep Craig away from the kids. That day at Milltown Parker
tells Craig what happened between Carly and Jack, which prompts Craig
into doing what he can to get Carly to 'see' him in a new light.
Craig informs Carly that he is going to confront Jack to tell him to
back off, but it's Janet that beats Craig to the punch when she
advises Jack to stop pushing Carly's buttons. Jack later meets Carly
and tells her that he's going to stay out of her business. After Jack
leaves, Craig shows up and Carly thanks him for his help with getting
Jack to leave her alone. Craig instantly takes credit for something
he didn't do and uses it to his advantage to get Carly to say yes to
his marriage proposal. That night Craig arranges everyone to arrive
at Metro where he tells them that he and Carly are now engaged.
Dusty, who happens to be there during the announcement prepares to
depart with Johnny. Craig sees them and tries to say good-bye to the
young boy but is stopped by Dusty's fist. Once alone, a livid Carly
tells Craig that if he's using her just to get back at Dusty, he can
forget about marrying her. He admits that it is part of reason but
points out she's doing the same thing by trying to get back at Jack.
A Closer Look: Cutting Ties
In hopes of helping Paul have more of a chance to spend time with

bruised when he hears Abby ending her conversation with the
word 'dad' in them. Furious that Victor is once again entering
himself in the picture, Brad decides to confront Ashley on the
matter. Ashley, who had been reluctant to Victor's request of Abby
acknowledging him as her father, tells Brad that he has nothing to
worry about, but also points out that Victor has been nothing but
wonderful to Abby. Brad is not pleased to hear that Victor has a
close bond with the young teen. Things get worse for Brad when Victor
demands that he step down from his position on the board of

Abby lets slip that Victor has gone to her parent/teacher conference.
Brad once again hides his anger and ends their lunch date early. At

attend the conference, but Victor insists that he wants to be a
father in Abby's life. The moment Brad shows up, it's on. Brad and
Victor have a heated exchange with one another, where Brad tells him
that he will never take his place as Abby's father. Seeing the

realize how Brad is feeling about his presence. After things have
cooled down for Brad, he decides to take matters into his own hands.

THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 5, 2009
Y&R -- DON DIAMONT will exit the role of Brad Carlton after more than
twenty years in that role. Word is that Brad's exit will
be 'shocking.'
YOUNG AND RESTLESS
FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 27, 2009 -- WINTER PREVIEWS
Y&R -- A SPRING WEDDING is reportedly in the works - but no details
have been released yet.
VICTOR continues to plot to make Jack pay for fabricating Victor's
fraudulent diary - and makes plans to hit Jack where it will hurt
Jack the most. Jack becomes suspicious that Victor IS plotting
revenge - while Ashley sits on the fence - committed to Victor but
sympathetic toward Jack's point of view. Jack is destined to
experience a huge reversal of fortune. In the meantime, there IS a
possibility that Victor's attitude toward Adam COULD thaw!
PHYLLIS FUMES while Nick and Sharon grow closer and seem to be
spending a LOT of time together, dealing with issues concentrated on
Noah. Meanwhile, Daniel and Amber's relationship remains solid.
Current speculation is that MICHAEL GRAZIADEI, who appears as Daniel,
does NOT plan to sign a new contract when his current contract
expires in MARCH of 2009.
SUPPOSEDLY - Brad's exit will be 'an incredibly dramatic story'
of 'operatic proportions.' SUPPOSEDLY - Brad's exit will change the
lives of many people in Genoa City forever - (We'll believe it when
we see it!) DON DIAMONT will be exiting the role of Brad Carlton -
possibly soon. Speculation is that Brad's exit will occur when Brad
becomes the victim in a 'new' murder 'mystery.' It is being
speculated that DIAMONT's exit will be only the FIRST of a number of
exits which will take place in Y&R's pool of 35-and-older cast
members.
GLORIA continues her efforts to get out of the slammer - and another,
even more shocking revelation - is right around the corner. This new
revelation will have far-reaching consequences for Michael, River,
Gloria and Eden.
BILLY'S RELATIONSHIP with Lily will begin to get comfortable. But,
while Billy and Lily are still exploring their relationship,
a 'surprising' burst of passion among the four of them will upset the
apple cart once again.
THE ABBOTT FAMILY will remain in turmoil as they all jockey for
position in the power struggle to head up the family empire. ABBEY
returns and is immediately suspicious about Noah's relationship with
Eden.
When KATHERINE makes attempts to reclaim her life - she runs into a
roadblock. JILL is convinced that Katherine is a fraud who is just
attempting to muscle in on the cushy CHANCELLOR life-style! Katherine
begins to wonder if Jill really IS her daughter!
BRAD/NOAH SPOILER
Brad makes a final appeal to Sharon for her love, but she doesn't
feel the same way. As Brad drives home, his car breaks down in the
snow and he hears someone calling for help. It's Noah, who has fallen
through the ice, after lieing once again about going to a skating
party, with Eden. Brad save him ,but once at the hospital, He doesn't
know who saved him.
**COULD THIS BE BRAD RUMOR HEROIC EXIT***????
According to Kevin Schmidt(Noah) something bad is going to happen to
Noah that land him in the hospital,on his youtube blog! His most
recent video(Jan 6th), he is on the Y&R set, in his dressing room in
a hospital gown in really pale make-up During the video, you can hear
someone over the intercom saying "Peter, Joshua etc to the "hospital
atmosphere"

Speaking of b*tches, Victor has a proposition for Gloria!

Greetings From The Editor
Lynn Leahey
Dear Readers,
The time has come to say good-bye to DAYS's John and Marlena -- the
super
couple bids Salem adieu next week. Digest honors Drake Hogestyn and
Deidre
Hall, as well as their legions of fans, with a collector's issue
including
the history of their romance, notable quotes over the years and
tributes
from their fans. Get the details on how the couple will exit (yes,
there's
a wedding), too, in the latest issue.... Also saying goodbye (again)
is
AMC's recently returned Colin Egglesfield (Josh). Susan Lucci (Erica)
describes her on-screen son's dramatic death, and the profound effect
it
has on his family. Let's just say it's good news for Kendall fans....
And
a big welcome back to Natalia Livingston (ex-Emily), who will be
playing a
new character on GH. Her first scenes aren't with Emily's still-
grieving
love Nikolas, though -- find out who grabs her attention, in the
Late-Breaking News section.... And on our web site, be sure to check
for
classic interviews from industry greats. TV Guide Canada's Nelson
Branco
pointed out that Doug Marland's Digest piece, "How Not To Wreck A
Show,"
has been circulating the Internet for years, and suggested we reprint
past
words from daytime's best and brightest. Keep an eye out for more.

TALES FROM THE INTERVIEW
MARA LEVINSKY: In this week's Digest, a cross-section of the genre's
most
impressive tear-producers, from GL's Kim Zimmer (Reva) to AMC's Bobbie
Eakes (Krystal) to Y&R's Sharon Case (Sharon), share the tricks of
their
trade, from how they gear up emotionally for big crying scenes to how
they
modify their makeup routines if they know they're about to turn on the
waterworks. We also asked the stars whose crying ability they admire
(Arianne Zucker, DAYS's Nicole, picks Y&R's Michelle Stafford,
Phyllis,
while ATWT's Terri Colombino, Katie, gives props to former co-star
Martha
Byrne, ex-Lily). The topic may be a sad one, but the results are a
lot of
fun!

WATER COOLER
Ever wonder what Digest editors talk about in the halls? Here's
what's on
our minds this week.
DEVIN OWENS: Robin McGraw (the wife of Phil McGraw a.k.a. DR. PHIL)
was
thrilled to make her first soap appearance on yesterday's B&B. Not
only
did she get to mention her new book What's Age Got To Do With It?,
but she
also met some of her fave soap stars. It turns out that Robin is a
long-time B&B fan, even though, as she mentioned in last week's Q&A,
she
doesn't get to watch much because of her hectic schedule. "My husband
and
I are very passionate about our platform of Family First," smiles
Robin.
"Family does come first with us and that's the reason why I come on
his
show everyday. When we made this huge leap of leaving our lives in
Dallas
to come here [to Hollywood], it was still about family. I told him
that I
would support him and be there for him." So, what did Robin think
about
visiting the B&B studios? "I was surprised how small the sets are,"
she
chuckled. "If you came to the DR. PHIL show you would be shocked how
large
the set is. It's huge. So to see a set here, it's much smaller. When
Phillip was on the set of FRAISER, I was blown away that it was a
miniature version of what I watch on TV."
CAMPAIGN TRAIL
You gotta love soap fans' creativity -- Digest regularly receives
doodads
and goodies from readers who know how to make a statement.
ELAINE G. FLORES: We had a relatively light week in terms of mail this
week, but it was nonetheless interesting. Here's what's new:
-- This week's sweetest campaign came courtesy of the Bianca and Reese
fans at
http://sourceinterlink.r.delivery.net/r?
2.1.3Ky.2gt.11g2vw.C2n3nq..N.NNIy.
1uc.IIeEeK00 who celebrated "2 months, 2 proposals, 1 GREAT LOVE" with
Ring Pops. I guess Ring Pops are very popular. I can tell you a
couple of
girls here squealed when they saw this candy. I'm on a low-carb kick,
so
unless it's bacon on a stick, I'll pass.... In other Pine Valley news,
"Team Slater" sent cards with pictures of their favorite duo nuzzling.
Their message was: "The resolution AMC should make and keep: A better
year
for Zach & Kendall.".... There was love for the Crazy/Beautiful Annie
and
Aidan. "I want more 'A Team!' " declared a Boston fan.
-- Over in Oakdale, we got glossy postcards with a broken heart and
shots
of Noah and Luke looking looking sad and lonely. "We want the good old
days when Luke and Noah were together and happy on ATWT," was the
message.
Clearly, these were sent before the duo got all smoochy and naked on
Monday's episode. If I know my "Nuke" folks, I will receive a deluge
of
happy mail next week. Don't make a liar out of me, people.... There
was
more rejoicing for newlyweds Jack and Janet. Devotees at Jack & Janet
Online at

1uc.CZAEcK00 say, "Let's End 2009 The Way We Are Starting It ...
Together.".... We got another take on that Campaign Trail classic, the
"Wanted" poster. This time it's for "Paul Ryan And Meg Snyder Alive
And
Together. Reward: Priceless."
-- GH's Jason and Sam fans continue to crow about the duo with an
array of
new cards and messages ranging from "Stairway To Heaven" to "Born To
Be
Wild." What, no "Free Bird"? Also, The Biggest Natalia Livingston Fan
Ever
is all excited over her return to the show as Rebecca and already
pushing
for a pairing with Sonny. Among the messages: "Trouble Never Looked
This
Good" and "She Is Back! Who do we want her paired with?" Sonny"
That's all for now. Have a good week.

Chicago Sun-Times), I saw a classified ad urging all Jason and
Elizabeth

called, for sure, but had to give that a shout out. I hope ABC
reconsiders
the decision to end this couple and gets them back together this
January

IN PERSON
I had the great fortunate of meeting Vincent Irizarry (David, AMC) in
person. My brother Tommy is a saxophone player in a rock band and one
of
his band members, John Irizarry, happens to be Vincent Irizarry's
uncle
(even though they are only three years apart). On Thursday night,
December
11, the band played a benefit concert at a small club in Greenwich
Village
in New York City to raise money for a charitable organization. Vincent
Irizarry attended the benefit and was the spokesperson on behalf of
the
organization. Later in the evening, he got on stage and sang a
Christmas
song with the band. He sounded amazing!
When he first arrived at the club, my father was bold enough to
approach
him and asked if he would mind posing for a picture with me. He was
gracious enough to honor my father's request. Needless to say, I was
speechless as we posed for the picture! After the picture was taken,
he
chatted with me for a few minutes and was very polite and very down-
to-
earth. Later in the evening, he was gracious enough to give me his
autograph. I now have the picture and the autograph together in a
beautiful frame.
As I was leaving the club, I said good-night to him and thanked him
for
the picture and the autograph. He leaned in and kissed me on the
cheek.
Again... SPEECHLESS!! I then told him he was much nicer in person
than he
is on television. He said, "Well, I hope so!!"
Thank you Vincent Irizarry for your kindness, and for making that
evening
a very special and memorable one for me!! Laura Najarian, Brooklyn, NY

to stay in jail to kiss up to Katherine; only Katherine was bailed out
soon after that...oops!
2. Why is ALL MY CHILDREN's Frankie suddenly so upset about his
girlfriend's past as a hooker? Isn't that what attracted him to her
in the
first place?
3. Looks like GENERAL HOSPITAL's Kate has a new foe -- Claudia should
watch out for "the mistress."
4. Y&R's re-caffeinated Kevin and Jana are much more watchable now;
they
recently became somewhat...watered down.
5. BOLD AND BEAUTIFUL's Rick showed up at Big Bear so soon after
Marcus
left, it's a wonder they didn't pass each other on the driveway.
6. With GH's Maxie breaking his heart and Winifred hacking into his
hard
drive, Spinelli clearly needs to update his antivirus software!
7. What the heck is AS THE WORLD TURNS' Lily doing suggesting that
Craig
find himself a wife after the travesties of his marriages to her
sister,
her sister-in-law, and one of her friends?
8. DAYS OF OUR LIVES' Lucas might as well have his head buried in the
sand, considering how blind he is to Chloe and Daniel.
9. Considering the mess Jack got him into, Y&R's Adam should have
more of
a vendetta against him than Victor.
10. So ONE LIFE TO LIVE's Cristian and Vanessa have sex seconds after
Sarah leaves Llanview. Good call to dump him, Miss Roberts.
WHY WE CLAPPED
THE YOUNG AND THE RESTLESS' Jess Walton used her whole body to express
Jill's excitement and then disappointment when she thought her mother
had
returned from the grave. Walton touched her character's mother
tentatively
when Jill doubted Katherine was flesh and bone, then she groaned when
Jill
decided it was all a scam perpetrated by Marge. The disgust on
Walton's
face would have been enough to wither Marge; instead, Walton's
piercing
glares, waving hands and standoffish body language broke Kay's heart.
While Jill could not believe her eyes, we knew we could trust ours --
and
awarded Walton Applause, Applause kudos for issue 4.

NIGHTWATCH
--From Senior Writer/Editor Joe Diliberto: Fans of J.J. Abrams' Fox
series
FRINGE -- which returns on Jan. 20 at 9 p.m. -- know the creator of
LOST
is building a mythology for the science-oriented show, and while it
may be
fun to search for the bald-headed Observer in every episode, spotting
him
is not essential to enjoying the series. And that's just how Abrams
likes
it: If fans want to delve deeper, fine; if not, they can still have
fun.
In addition to strange characters, FRINGE also has a rather unique
visual
style, including the cryptic images that appear onscreen just before
commercials (along with the advisory about how long the break will
last).
Those are usually called "bumpers" in the industry, but Abrams calls
them
"blips," and says a lot of careful thought went into designing the
imagery. "In terms of the blips, it's something that we're doing for
people who care to figure it out and follow it," he reveals. "But
it's not
something that a viewer has to consider when they watch the show."
That's
good to know, because a lot of viewers might be distracted by another
of
the series' trademarks, the block lettering that appears to be part
of the
scenery when introducing a location. "It was in the script," avers
Abrams.
"We just thought it was going to be a fun thing to do as a way of
introducing a location."
--BATTLESTAR GALACTICA fans will have a chance to buy thousands of
props,
pieces of sets, and authentic costumes from the Sci Fi Channel series
at
an auction in Pasadena, Calif., this weekend. It all begins with a
preview
on Jan. 16, and then the live auctions run from Jan. 17 to 18 at the
Pasadena Convention Center. The auction can be followed at

20. A
portion of the proceeds will benefit United Way.
THE WE IN WEEKLY
--From Assistant Editor Julie Globus: Is there a bigger hypocrite than
Y&R's Nick Newman? Here he is, furious with his wife for getting
involved
in Sharon's personal life, while he was the one sharing a secret kiss
with
Sharon in Paris. And he has the audacity to call Phyllis paranoid? If
the
kiss alone weren't enough to make Phyllis question his devotion to
her,
there's always the fact that he cheated on Sharon with Phyllis,
proving
how serious he is about marriage. Nick: People in glass houses
shouldn't
throw stones.
--From News Editor Mala Bhattacharjee: I know the "big news" in ATWT-
land
this week was Luke and Noah having sex, but I want to give a shout-
out to
some other great stuff this week. I loved Brian's last scenes with
Noah,
Luke and Lucinda, and am going to miss Laurence Lau's heartfelt
portrayal
of a deeply closeted man slowly coming to terms with his identity. I
also
loved the Casey, Jade and Derek standoff with Robbie at Metro --
especially the unintentional amusement of Casey noting to Jade that
Metro
is closed in the middle of the day. With the amount of customers Carly
gets (read: none!), it doesn't make much difference! The only thing I
didn't like about that story beat? That the only character of Hispanic
origin that we've seen in Oakdale in years had to be one as
stereotypical
as Robbie. ¡No me gusta!
--From Senior Editor Gabrielle Winkel: I do a lot of smiling when I
watch
OLTL. There's David Vickers, of course, but I grinned through all the
scenes with Rex and his son, Shane, and Bo and Nora and their son,
Matthew. Rex telling Shane about sex and Shane countering with, "So
sex
with mom was meaningless?" was priceless. The always expressive John-
Paul
Lavoisier (Rex) was adorably befuddled. Robert S. Woods (Bo) and
Hillary
B. Smith (Nora) were also stressed when Matthew pointed out how much
the
two of them like to drink. "And alcohol is a drug," he reminded them.
Damn
those smart kids.
--From West Coast Editor Janet Di Lauro: Y&R's veteran actress
extraordinaire, Jeanne Cooper (Kay), loves sharing the screen with the
show's younger set. "It's fun mixing it up," says Cooper. "Michael
Graziadei (Daniel), Greg Rikaart (Kevin) and Adrienne Frantz (Amber)
are
divine," raves Cooper. "They're very professional and deliver to a
scene.
You can play off of them. They can play off of you. They give and they
take, and that's what acting is all about -- acting and reacting.
They're
a joy to work with."

Carly's well being when it comes to Craig being in her life. Meg and
Dusty jet off to get her a quick divorce from Paul and to wed each
other. Once they get back to Oakdale Meg tells Holden and Lily about
their quick nuptials. Holden is angry that Meg rushed into such a
thoughless move. Dusty in the meantime takes Eliza to visit Paul, who
flips the minute Dusty tells him of his marriage to Meg. Jack and
Janet realize that money issues are hindering them in providing for
their family on Wednesday, January 28. Casey and Alison have some
mis-communication with one another on Friday, January 30.

down the aisle with Craig. Tom and Margo, who are in attendence don't
care for how Craig is doing things to get what he wants. Holden also
voices his concerns to Carly about marrying Craig, telling her she

(SoapOperaNetwork.com) -- Unreciprocated feelings...
THIS WEEK ON: THE YOUNG AND THE RESTLESS
Phyllis's marriage to Nick continues to unravel before her eyes. Brad

Casey. Trouble is Noah's middle name Thursday, January 29.
The Inside Story: She's Just Not That Into You
Unable to forget his love for Sharon, Brad decides to go to the Abbott
cabin where she is as a surprise. Sharon, however, is neither happy or
interested in seeing him and tells him that she's tired of dealing
with people that do nothing but lie and hurt her; and he did that the
minute he decided to go in cahoots with Phyllis to sabatoge her
marriage to Jack. As she and he continue to talk, Brad soon begins to
realize that the only person that will ever have her heart is Nick.
Sharon admits that Nick will always be a part of her life; not only
have they known and loved each other since highschool but they also
have a child together. With his feelings hurt, Brad comes to terms
with Sharon's rejection and promises to leave her alone. Brad soon
departs trying to return home before the storm.
A Closer Look: A Deal with the Devil
After turning Jill, Jeffrey and Jack down flat for her stock, Gloria
agrees to give Victor her Jabot stock for some serious cold hard cash
from him. Victor, however, stresses that Gloria keep her mouth shut as
to who bought the stock. Gloria is thrilled that it was Victor that
has come to her and begins to think about how he could benefit her in
the long run. Unfortunately the jokes on her when Victor secretly
takes the stock and gives it to Jill; but with Victor in control,

Y&R -- "Victor's Shocking Offer" -- Gloria is stunned when Victor
turns up at the jail and offers to buy the 5% of Jabot stock which
Katherine left to Gloria in her will. Victor offers to pay Gloria an
incredible sum of money for the Jabot stock. And Gloria leaps to the
conclusion that Victor will not only help her get out of jail - but
that Victor will see to it that Gloria receives a top position at
Jabot once she is released. Gloria finally agrees and Victor insists
that the sale DEPENDS on Gloria remaining mum about who bought the
stock from her. Of course, Victor immediately double crosses Gloria by
giving the stock to Jill. Victor advises Jill that he is giving the
stock to her ONLY on the condition that Jill appoint BILLY as CEO or
Jabot - ahead of Jack! Although Jill worries about Cane'e reaction
when Cane learns that bit of news, Jill finally agrees to go along
with Victor's plan. At Jimmy's Bar, Brad gloats when Nick shows up in
time to hear Phyllis desperately attempting to convince Brad that the
time is ripe for Brad to drop in on Sharon at the Abbott family's
remote mountain cabin. When Brad cheerfully advises Nick to cut
Phyllis loose and put her out of her misery - Nick ends up punching
Brad! As Nick and Phyllis argue about Phyllis's jealous streak, Nick
declares that he will be packing a bag and staying at the office. then
Nick storms out on Phyllis. Brad is pleased that his trick worked so
well. After Nick storms away and Phyllis rushes out after Nick, Brad
gets on his computer and looks up the location of the Abbott family
cabin. Jana and Daniel are stunned when the pawnshop owner suddenly
turns up while Kevin and Amber are inside the pawnshop, searching for
the records of the shop owner's sale of Katherine's heirloom ring.
Amber and Kevin manage to duck out of the pawn shop before the
pawnshop owner enters the shop - but, in their scramble to hustle on
out of there, they leave behind a clue. Billy is impressed when Victor
tells Billy that, because of Victor's deep respect and affection for
Billy's sister, Ashley, Billy will ALWAYS be welcome at Newman.

FRIDAY, JANUARY 30, 2009 -- SUMMARY OF THE WEEK'S EVENTS
Y&R -- After a bitter argument, the distance between Nick and Phyllis
continues to grow. Victor makes Gloria an offer she can't refuse. As
soon as he leaves the jail, however, Victor double-crosses Gloria.
Nikki receives bad news about her sister, Casey. Kevin and Amber try
to help Katherine regain her identity, but will they get in over their
heads? Katherine's campaign to prove her identity runs into a snag
when the court does NOT approve the DNA test! Victor gives Brad an
ultimatum. Billy continues to be concerned about Chloe's baby. Brad is
disappointed when he pays Sharon a surprise visit at the Abbott cabin.
KATHERINE'S PLAN TO PROVE HER IDENTITY RUNS INTO ANOTHER SNAG --
Unaware that Amber, Kevin, Daniel and Jana have decided to break into
the pawn shop in order to learn WHO bought Katherine's heirloom ring
from the pawn broker, Kay is devastated when Michael arrives with the
news that the court has ruled that there is NOT enough evidence to
suppose that 'Marge' might actually be Katherine - and the judge has
ruled that he can NOT order Jill to cooperate by undergoing a DNA test
which would prove whether or not Jill and Kay were related. Then
Michael decides that it might help if Katherine actually confronted
the jeweler who purchased Kay's ring from the pawnbroker! Michael
arranges for the jeweler to visit Murphy's trailer - and has Katherine
dressed to the 9's. When the jeweler arrives and presents the ring to
Kay, the ring fits perfectly when Kay tries it on. Michael and
Katherine manage to convince the jeweler to loan the ring to them
while they establish Katherine's identity. The next step in their plan
is for Kay to confront the pawnbroker who originally purchased the
ring and try to get the pawnbroker to admit that he DID purchase the
ring from Katherine. Murphy tags along - with a back up plan in mind.
Perhaps, if friendly persuasion does NOT work on the pawnbroker, a
little UN-friendly persuasion will do the trick!
SHARON AND JACK SAY A SAD FAREWELL -- Sharon is not really surprised
when Jack turns up at the Abbott cabin. Jack explains that he got the
divorce papers and wants to make one more attempt to patch things up.
While Jack is there, the cabin's generator goes out and Jack gets busy
fixing it up. While Jack is there, Jack is able to share some quiet
time with Sharon, but, eventually, Jack finally agrees that there is
now too much water under the bridge to repair all that has gone wrong
with their marriage. After sharing a sad farewell, Jack leaves and
Sharon is once again alone at the cabin. But not for long!
BRAD IS UNLUCKY IN LOVE - AGAIN -- Believing that the time is right
for him to be able to convince Sharon of his genuine love and
affection for her, Brad decides to surprise Sharon while Sharon is
staying at the remote Abbott cabin. However, when Brad arrives, he is
disappointed when he realizes that Sharon actually resents his
intrusion. As Sharon lectures Brad about his lack of candor and the
foolishness of throwing in to assist Phyllis in breaking up Sharon's
marriage to Jack, Brad suddenly realizes the Sharon STILL loves Nick!
After Sharon admits that she may still be more tied to Nick than she
would like to admit, Brad apologies for the intrusion and decides to
leave. However, after Brad leaves, a fierce winter storm hits the area
where the cabin is located.

WHERE IS ADAM HEADED? ~~ Viewers need to know about the following
statement, recently made in one of the Soap Magazines: In Soap Opera
Weekly, 8-19-2008, P.6), CHRIS ENGEN (Adam) says: "The (producers)
want the character to transition the way that Michael Corleone did in
THE GODFATHER. That is a tall order -- to transition from the good
innocent country boy to (someone) corrupted by power and consumed by
evil... That is what I have been trying to do."
YOUNG AND RESTLESS
FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 27, 2009 -- WINTER PREVIEWS
Y&R -- A SPRING WEDDING is reportedly in the works - but no details
have been released yet.
VICTOR continues to plot to make Jack pay for fabricating Victor's
fraudulent diary - and makes plans to hit Jack where it will hurt Jack
the most. Jack becomes suspicious that Victor IS plotting revenge -
while Ashley sits on the fence - committed to Victor but sympathetic
toward Jack's point of view. Jack is destined to experience a huge
reversal of fortune. In the meantime, there IS a possibility that
Victor's attitude toward Adam COULD thaw!
PHYLLIS FUMES while Nick and Sharon grow closer and seem to be
spending a LOT of time together, dealing with issues concentrated on
Noah. Meanwhile, Daniel and Amber's relationship remains solid.
Current speculation is that MICHAEL GRAZIADEI, who appears as Daniel,
does NOT plan to sign a new contract when his current contract expires
in MARCH of 2009.
SUPPOSEDLY - Brad's exit will be 'an incredibly dramatic story' of
'operatic proportions.' SUPPOSEDLY - Brad's exit will change the lives
of many people in Genoa City forever - (We'll believe it when we see
it!) DON DIAMONT will be exiting the role of Brad Carlton - possibly
soon. Speculation is that Brad's exit will occur when Brad becomes the
victim in a 'new' murder 'mystery.' It is being speculated that
DIAMONT's exit will be only the FIRST of a number of exits which will
take place in Y&R's pool of 35-and-older cast members.
GLORIA continues her efforts to get out of the slammer - and another,
even more shocking revelation - is right around the corner. This new
revelation will have far-reaching consequences for Michael, River,
Gloria and Eden.
BILLY'S RELATIONSHIP with Lily will begin to get comfortable. But,
while Billy and Lily are still exploring their relationship, a
'surprising' burst of passion among the four of them will upset the
apple cart once again.
THE ABBOTT FAMILY will remain in turmoil as they all jockey for
position in the power struggle to head up the family empire. ABBEY
returns and is immediately suspicious about Noah's relationship with Eden.
When KATHERINE makes attempts to reclaim her life - she runs into a
roadblock. JILL is convinced that Katherine is a fraud who is just
attempting to muscle in on the cushy CHANCELLOR life-style! Katherine
begins to wonder if Jill really IS her daughter!

SOAP OPERA DIGEST INSIDER
January 22, 2009
Greetings From The Editor
Lynn Leahey
Dear Readers,
GH might just top the Metro Court drama with the latest hospital crisis,
involving a hijacked shipment of deadly biotoxin. What starts as a fairly
routine surgery leads to a deadly calamity, intersecting several
front-burner storylines. Get the details in your new Digest.... Our West
Coast writer, Devin Owens, is currently taking to the high seas for a
cruise with soap stars. In addition to a glowing tan, he'll be back with
gossip galore, which we will of course report back to you. If you'd like
face time with soap actors but don't have time for a cruise (or get
seasick, like me), the same outfit that put together the cruise is
launching soap tours all over the country, bringing stars to the fans. For
more info check out
http://sourceinterlink.r.delivery.net/r?2.1.3Ky.2gt.11g2vw.C2wKFa..N.NooU.
1wK.HQIEeA00.... On AMC, Kendall finally wakes up, and she's slammed with
the news that her husband is the father of her sister's baby. How does she
react? Not how you'd expect -- get the scoop in your new issue.... And if
you're a former GL fan who hasn't tuned in in a while, you owe it to
yourself to check out the show these days. It's funny and down-to-earth
and poignant, classic soap with a twist. They really seem to have made it
through the growing pains of a new format and are doing something special
out In Peapack.
TALES FROM THE INTERVIEW
Danielle McClure: As any GL fan who's met her in person knows, Gina
Tognoni (Dinah) is a bundle of fierce energy. She radiates good vibes and
she has such a tremendous spirit that you can't help feeling cheerful when
you're around her. So, when I sat down with the actress to discuss her now
four-year tenure on GL as well as her upcoming wedding (she's set to marry
her longtime beau, Joseph Chiarrello in May), Tognoni was, not
surprisingly, super ecstatic to dish about all the planning details
regarding her Florida nups. "Why Florida?" she grins. "Because we wanted
to do a destination wedding and initially we wanted to do Bermuda. Well,
Bermuda wasn't really feasible for lots of different reasons. One because
you have to have passports and not all of our friends have passports so we
didn't want to go there -- it would be too difficult. Palm Beach is so
similar to Bermuda in lots of ways and my father also lives in Florida.
I'm a big fan of Florida and it's just easy to get to so we said, 'That's
it!'" But, as Tognoni explains, choosing a destination wasn't the most
difficult part of the process. "The hardest was the guest list ...
excruciating! It's huge for me. I've never thrown this big of a party.
It's insane. You're throwing a knock-down party for over 100 people. It's
big by my standards. Anything under 200 is not considered big, apparently.
I am excited to kind of just get through that day. It's a bummer that you
wait a year for this one day and it goes so quickly!" Read more about
Tognoni's big day, starting on page 62 of the new issue.
Tom Stacy: They say that when a woman's looking for a man, a good guide to
judge him is by how he treats his mother. Well, if that's true, Vivian
Weitz is a very lucky gal. Vivian, of course, is the wife of GH's Bruce
Weitz (Anthony), and he speaks with nothing but love and adoration of his
89-year-old mother in his Digest feature. "Her name is Sybil, and she's a
tiger," he grins. He continues to note the impact Sybil has had on his
career. (He jokes that if she'd had her druthers, he would have passed on
HILL STREET BLUES because of the wardrobe) and credits her for GH keeping
him on ("I think my mother wrote about 5,000 letters," he laughs). While
he's no mama's boy, get a never-before-seen glimpse of the softer side of
Port Charles's tough talking mob boss in the latest issue of Digest.

CAMPAIGN TRAIL
You gotta love soap fans' creativity -- Digest regularly receives doodads
and goodies from readers who know how to make a statement.
ELAINE G. FLORES: Lots of fun mail and creative campaigns this week from
AMC, ATWT, DAYS and GH viewers.
-- I swear, I'm like the Amazing Kreskin. Did I not fearlessly predict
that "Nuke" fans were going to bombard me with mail? Fans of ATWT declare,
"It's time for Luke & Noah" and they sent a wall clock featuring the duo!
Sticking with that timely theme, some other fans sent boxes of candy
watches and an array of postcards celebrating the pair.
-- Fans at the Aidan and Greenlee Message Board at
http://sourceinterlink.r.delivery.net/r?2.1.3Ky.2gt.11g2vw.C2wKFa..N.NooY.
1wK.HbIEeE00 wrote to let us know that they are supporting the Broadway
Cares "Soap-a-thon" in which fans can donate in the name of their favorite
ABC Power Couple. They are inviting fans to support "Ailee" here. The fans
included a Russell Stover valentine, but we already know they have their
hearts in the right place.... Reese and Bianca also got mail courtesy of
http://sourceinterlink.r.delivery.net/r?2.1.3Ky.2gt.11g2vw.C2wKFa..N.NooE.
1wK.GEIEdQ00. The cards featured smooch pictures and the messages: The
best proof of love is trust" and "'You're my first in every way that
counts.' "... Team Slater is counting down the days to January 30 when
Kendall wakes up and AMC's "Heart Beats Again." I cannot wait to see what
they come up with when their favorite heroine comes to.
-- GH's Steve Burton (Jason) is one lucky fellow with fans battling it out
over which Port Charles woman his character should be with. While the
Jason and Sam side are sending optimistic cards with messages like "A
Change is Gonna Come..." The Jason and Elizabeth camp mailed in an
assortment of mismatched socks to illustrate the point that "Keeping Jason
and Elizabeth apart doesn't make sense either!"
-- Finally the DAYS Steve & Kayla folks note that the couple is "Strong,
Sweet And Steaming Hot." In other words, "The Perfect Blend." They made
their point with a package of Maxwell House coffee. S&K lovers also sent a
tin of Mrs. Fields cookies to Stephanie Sloane. Kimber from Clarksville,
TN wrote, "I thought I'd share some cookies with you since DAYS won't
share Steve and Kayla with us!" Since it's my birthday and my nickname is
actually Cookie, I was the beneficiary of this tin, which Steph passed on
to me. I read somewhere that it's okay to eat carbs on your birthday....
Soap fans, have a great week!
STYLE FILE
Beauty tips from the stars.
Nazanin Boniadi (Leyla, GH)
Advice for a bad hair day?
"Keep it simple. Take a couple of bobby pins, do a little French twist and
pin it back." What hair products do you swear by? "I use the Pureology
line. I'm not big on product. My mother always taught me to wash and
condition but not use a lot of hairspray or gel. She likes simplicity."
Did you ever have a perm? "No and I would never! Never in a million years.
I have naturally curly hair so I'm always trying to straighten it. I also
think it's less flattering on women. Fake curls don't look good." What's
the weirdest beauty advice you've gotten? "My grandmother is old-school.
She was raised in Iran and she mentioned something they would use locally.
She lived in the outskirts of the capital city in a village-type
environment so she said egg yolk on the hair. I can't imagine doing that!"
TYPE SET
B&B finally got something right! I am loving the interaction between
Bridget and that sexy scoundrel Owen. I love how the sparks flew between
them and love that these two flirt and laugh and smile together. Bridget
deserves romance and Owen needs lovin', too, so why not make these
unlucky-in-love characters lucky in love? BOLD has struck gold here and
they would be fools if they passed it up! R.B., Sweden
STAR SIGHTINGS

IN PERSON
I have attended two DAYS Charity events so far! I had an amazing time, and
have met so many wonderful people. I attended the Days Charity Event in
Burlington last August, where I met James Scott (EJ), Matthew Ashford
(ex-Jack), Darin Brooks (Max), Thaao Penghlis (Tony), Lauren Koslow
(Kate), Bryan Dattilo (Lucas), Nadia Bjorlin (Chloe) and Brandon Beemer
(Owen, B&B; ex-Shawn, DAYS). It was a wonderful experience, and gave me
memories for a lifetime!! My husband Ron bid on a sketch of James Scott
during the live auction, and we paid $900 for it in honor of my
grandmother who passed away from diabetes. The sketch artist was Steve
O'Brien, and his work is phenomenal. I have e-mailed him since the event,
and he spent over 60 hours sketching the drawing. I also had an
opportunity to have dinner at the sponsorship lunch, which was amazing. My
husband and I, along with a few other lucky fans, had great conversations
with James and all the other stars who attended. James Scott was kind
enough to personally autograph the sketch for us! I had a wonderful time!

January 23, 2008
Raise your hands if you love THE BOLD AND THE BEAUTIFUL. (We know many of
you are out there!) Senior Editor Gabrielle Winkel pays tribute to the
fastest soap in town in this week's The We in Weekly section. One of her
favorite storylines: Jackie (Lesley-Anne Down) and Clarke (Daniel McVicar)
pulling off their hijacked fashion show in record time.

THE TOP 10 PLUS
1. Did ALL MY CHILDREN's Angie really have to have the drugs tested to
find out they weren't FDA-approved? David is notorious for his
concoctions.
2. On YOUNG AND RESTLESS, Phyllis' schemes are finally blowing up in her
face. She destroyed Nick and Sharon's marriage, and now she's getting what
she deserves.
3. GENERAL HOSPITAL is having yet another super virus sweep through Port
Charles...at least this time it wasn't contracted by a monkey.
4. We're glad AMC's Tad is finally seeing Krystal for what she is --
trash! Babe's death was no excuse for her to turn to David.
5. Why is Y&R's Tyra so against Neil and Karen adopting Anna? If she cared
so much, why didn't she adopt Anna during the 12 years she was raising
her?
6. ONE LIFE TO LIVE's Matthew was raised in a relatively stable
environment, thanks to Bo. Why not make him the responsible one in the
drug story, rather than an insecure follower?
7. Talk about gall! After weeks of accusing Kevin of killing "Mrs. C,"
Y&R's Amber wants to team up with him to prove Kay's true identity.
8. So much for being an ace bodyguard. DAYS OF OUR LIVES' Rafe left Sami
in the protective hands of Sister Theresa.
9. It was somewhat depressing to see GUIDING LIGHT's glum Olivia have her
dinner at home by herself...but something tells us she should enjoy these
quiet times while she can.
10. Good for OLTL's Natalie for pointing out to Viki that she's tired of
being looked at as the lesser of the two daughters.

WHY WE CLAPPED
GENERAL HOSPITAL's Maxie and Spinelli never seemed more grown up than they
did when childishly lashing out at each other after sleeping together once
more. When their characters got naked, Kirsten Storms and Bradford
Anderson stripped away the artifice and mannerisms Maxie and Spinelli
usually hide behind to find the people underneath. Anderson gave us a
Spinelli who was truly wounded by Maxie's subterfuge, while Storms'
good-time girl found herself taken aback by the fact that a guy would
truly like her instead of just want to sleep with her. Maxie and Spinelli
knew just what to say to insult each other, while Storms and Anderson
delivered the lines with aplomb and endured their cruelty with heart. They
were indivisible as their characters were torn apart, and thus deserved
joint Applause, Applause kudos for Issue 5.

NIGHTWATCH
--From Senior Writer/Editor Joe Diliberto: BURN NOTICE returned to USA
this week for the second half of its second season, and star Jeffrey
Donovan (ex-Dwayne "Popper" Collins, ANOTHER WORLD) admits that shooting
the spy series gives him a chance to pick up some rather...unorthodox
procedures. "It's a nice little bonus to be able to learn a new skill
every week," Donovan smiles. "It's a lot of fun to learn those little
skills. Some of them you can use in everyday life, and some of them you
can't. One that I've been able to use is how to bug my co-stars' dressing
room (laughs). One I don't really use that much is how to make a bomb out
of a toaster." Help make sure BURN NOTICE doesn't...er, bomb in the
ratings by watching it every Thursday at 10 p.m. on USA.
Prime Time Revolving Door
--Grant Show (ex-Jake, MELROSE PLACE; ex-Tom, SWINGTOWN) plays Addison's
brother, Archer, who moves to Los Angeles and takes a job with rival
Pacific Wellcare on the Jan. 29 episode of PRIVATE PRACTICE. Sharon Leal
(ex-Dahlia, GUIDING LIGHT) also appears, as Sonya.
--Dondre Whitfield (ex-Terrence, ALL MY CHILDREN) plays Wes Green on
SAMANTHA WHO? Jan. 26.
--Kevin Alejandro (ex-Dominic, THE YOUNG AND THE RESTLESS; ex-Santos, UGLY
BETTY) guests on KNIGHT RIDER Jan. 28.
--Jeremy Sumpter (Peter Pan) starts taking snaps as new quarterback J.D.
McCoy on FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS Jan. 30. Zach Roerig (ex-Casey, AS THE WORLD
TURNS) will recur on the series as rodeo rider Cash.
--The Jan. 28 episode of LOST sees the return of Nestor Carbonell as
Richard Alpert, Sonya Walger as Penny and Alan Dale as Charles Widmore.
--Colin Ford reprises Young Sam on SUPERNATURAL's Jan. 29 flashback
episode. (This time, Brock Kelly appears as an older version of Young
Dean.)
THE WE IN WEEKLY
--From Assistant Editor Julie Globus: Personally, I'm sad ALL MY CHILDREN
made the decision to kill off Josh. I've always thought that character had
so much potential, and yet he barely had any story after his initial
storyline with Babe. At the very least, they didn't have to turn him into
such a bad guy before he died. One minute he was the man taking care of
Kendall and the boys when Zach went missing, and the next, he's robbing
Cambias? Such a shame.
--From Senior Editor Gabrielle Winkel: So I'm watching television -- no
surprise there -- and was delighted to see John Rue (Moe, OLTL) on DAMAGES
last Wednesday (Jan. 22). He's the assistant to the bad guy. (DAMAGES can
get very complicated, so I'm not quite sure of the names yet.) So I gave a
little cheer for the Llanview team. Speaking of complicated shows -- can
we spell LOST? I love this show, but I just wish they'd do the "enhanced"
episodes every week for those of us who get confused regarding the time
travel, etc. Good grief. Where do these guys come up with these ideas?
Daytime can be less complicated, and I guess I'm grateful for that. I've
got to say I remain devoted to that speedy soap, THE BOLD AND THE
BEAUTIFUL. It's fun to watch, because everything happens so fast. No long,
drawn-out storylines there. People fall in love in the course of the
22-minute episode. Naturally, I'm speaking of Steffy and Rick. (Poor
Marcus, right?) I suggest they just elope, already. That would really make
Ridge angry. Note the speed in which Jackie pulled off that fashion show.
"Here are the stolen designs, and let's put on a show." No time to waste.
Chop-chop. B&B is the perfect soap break!
IT'S MY PARTY
--From Assistant Editor Meridith M. Miller: This week, I went to
Washington, D.C., for the inauguration of President Barack Obama. It was
an amazing experience, and I had a wonderful time meeting a few of the
millions of people who ventured to the city from all over the U.S. and the
world to celebrate and witness the historic event. Since all of you soap
readers out there have different views, I'll skip the political commentary
and focus on the parties. The weekend leading up to the swearing-in was
full of events and galas. I went to a few of them, but the one that stood
out was The Daily Voice's Inaugural Reception and Hope Awards. One of the
Web site's 12 honorees was former GREY'S ANATOMY star Isaiah Washington
(ex-Burke). Washington has been rumored to not have the most pleasant
attitude, but I'm happy to report that through a brief interaction, he
seemed to be a very nice and humble guy. I don't agree with everything
he's said or done, but seeing him be so gracious with fans was very
touching. As a huge GREY'S fan, I really just wanted to ask, "How could
you have left Dr. Yang at the altar like that?" but of course, I thought
that would be inappropriate.

B&B's Rick Versus Stephanie
It's the showdown of the week when Stephanie learns about Rick's
affair with Steffy AND his betrayal of Forrester. "Stephanie finally
realizes that Rick holds the detonator to a bomb that could blow up
her family," Kyle Lowder (Rick) explains. So what's Stephanie's plan
of retaliation? Pick up the Feb. 10 issue of Soap Opera Weekly.
Brad Disappears On Y&R
J.T., and later Victor, help Colleen hunt for her missing father on
YOUNG AND RESTLESS. Adding to a drama — a snowstorm. "They find Brad's
abandoned car and his phone is inside," reports Tammin Sursok
(Colleen). Where is Brad? For more pick up the Feb. 10 issue of Soap
Opera Weekly.
B&B's Rocco Returns
B&B is bringing back Bryan Genesse to reprise the role of Rocco
Carner, who was one of the original characters when the show debuted
in 1987. Back then, Rocco dated an insecure Katie but was really in
love with Donna. "Truly, this is a homecoming for me," Genesse says in
a statement. "I know the writers will make it an exhilarating roller
coaster ride that I hope lasts a long, long time." Genesse's first air
date is March 12.
And Many More!
Happy Birthday, GUIDING LIGHT! The longest-running soap in broadcast

SOAP OPERA DIGEST INSIDER
January 29, 2009
Greetings From The Editor
Lynn Leahey
Dear Readers,
Last week was like my own personal "Where Are They Now?" for soap stars.
First I got a call out of the blue from Lilibet Stern, who soap fans last
saw in 1983 as Patty Williams (Paul's sister). After successful careers in
nursing and medical sales, Lilibet has started a company coaching people
for job interviews, and is eager to spread the word about her new venture.
You'll be able to read all about it in an upcoming issue. Then, wearing my
other hat as editor of tween magazine Pixie, I was trying track down a
representative for the boy who makes the Fred videos on YouTube
(hilarious, an Internet sensation you probably haven't heard of unless you
have a child under 18). Turns out the savvy manager who snatched him up
and is steering him toward superstardom is none other than Elissa Leeds,
who played a young Hope Bauer on GL, then GH's Steffi Brand in 1984. Small
world, right?
TALES FROM THE INTERVIEW
LAUREN FLYNN: Whenever I meet someone who's a soap fan and finds out what
I do for a living and that I cover OLTL, the most common response is, "I
love David Vickers!" While coming and going from OLTL to his prime-time
gig on DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES and other pursuits, Tuc Watkins has managed to
maintain fan-fave status. His feeling is that every drama needs a little
levity to mix things up and keep viewers happy, as he explains in "The
Humorist," starting on page 42. But as funny as he is on-screen, Watkins
takes his humor very seriously. During our phone chat a few weeks ago, we
got into an in-depth discussion on the various types of humor (he prefers
the subtleties of 30 ROCK as opposed to the more traditional EVERYBODY
LOVES RAYMOND) and where he draws his inspiration. We also got talking
about books, as I reminded him that the first and only time we met, he
commented on a Carl Hiaasen book that was peeking out of my bag. As it
turns out, he's often reading something by David Sedaris or Dennis Lehane,
two more of my favorite authors! After learning this, I developed an even
greater "friend crush" on Watkins. And who wouldn't? I, too, love David
Vickers.
STEPHANIE SLOANE: I recently caught up with former Salem stars Eric Winter
(ex-Rex, DAYS) and Matt Cedeno (ex-Brandon). The duo, who met while
modeling 12 years ago, have now teamed up with Body Language Sportswear, a
Brazilian sportswear line. Cedeno got hooked in with the company through
his fiancée Erika Franco, then brought pal Winter and his wife Roselyn
Sanchez (ex-Pilar, ATWT) on board. "I had been looking for something to
invest in and Matt and I are interested in business, so he brought it to
me," explains Winter. "The customer reaction that we had seen was great.
Without publicity, people were going into the store because they'd heard
about it and wanted to check it out and have all been repeat customers."
That list includes a host of celebrities. "Eva Longoria [Parker, Gaby, DH;
ex-Isabella, Y&R], Vivica Fox [ex-Stephanie, Y&R; ex-Maya, GENERATIONS],
Nicollette Sheridan [Edie, DH], Brittany Daniel [ex-Eve, DAWSON'S CREEK],
Kim Kardashian and Alexis Bledel have all bought from the line," says
Cedeno. "Our base store is in Sherman Oaks [CA] and we have buyers coming
in from DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES and other TV shows." The duo is offering

CAMPAIGN TRAIL
You gotta love soap fans' creativity -- Digest regularly receives doodads
and goodies from readers who know how to make a statement.
ELAINE G. FLORES: Lots and lots of mail this week. Here's what's new.
--In terms of sheer volume, the most mail came from fans of ATWT's Luke
and Noah, who sent a deluge of cards to say thanks for the show's "Nuke"
love scene. The glossy cards featured hearts and the message: "Thanks for
the lovin'! Please keep it comin'!"
--The first Creativity Award goes to lovers of GH's Lucky and Sam who put
together a variety of Love In The Afternoon CDs with love songs like, "You
Are My Everything," "You Take My Breath Away," "Afternoon Delight" "Come
Away With Me" and so on. Each CD had a different lineup. What a fun idea,
I can tell a lot of thought went into it.
--The second Creativity Award goes to fans of the Zen Zone, who asked AMC
to "Give Us What We Treasure in 2009." That would be Zach and Kendall, of
course. The fans found really adorable miniature treasure chests and
filled them with postage stamp-size pictures of the Slater family,
chocolate kisses, little swords, tiny scrolls. The best part is that the
chests come with little keys that actually lock and unlock them. Naomi
Rabinowitz said that you guys have to get a creativity award because you
included chocolate.... I also have to give props and a Creativity Award to
the fans at
http://sourceinterlink.r.delivery.net/r?2.1.3Ky.2gt.11g2vw.C32nRA..N.OELo.
1yQ.DdecEbB0 who sent an AMC Memory Game featuring duplicate cards of
various characters. "Match your favorite AMC couples that belong together
and win!" hints the crafty group. Don't think for one minute that I won't
be playing this at my desk when I have some free time this afternoon. Just
don't mention it to Lynn, she's got this thing where she likes me to
actually work at work.
--I can always count on DAYS fans to come through with something unusual.
One fan, who is Taking the Oath for Steve & Kayla, sent a flier with a
presidential seal and the following pledge: "I do solemnly swear that I
will faithfully watch Steve 'Patch' Johnson and Dr. Kayla 'Sweetness'
Johnson, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, extend and dedicate
my viewership to the soap opera DAYS ... As long as they both are on."
Some extremely talented Steve and Kayla fan also sent pretty stuffed
fabric hearts with embroidered patches of their favorite duo. The hearts
were attached to a ribbon. Awwwwww.... Less Aw and more Ew, a rather grim
campaign features paper headstones with the names of fans who stopped
watching DAYS now that Drake Hogestyn's John is gone, proclaiming:
"Drake's Last Day is My Last DAYS." Instead of dates of birth and death,
the headstones had the dates of when the viewers started and stopped
watching the show.
Well, that's all for now. Thanks for playing, fans.
TYPE SET
While I am still very bitter that AMC chose to kill off Colin
Egglesfield's Josh, I am pleased that the writers remembered how close
Josh and Kendall were. When Josh pledged his love to her, stating that
coming to see her was worth the risk of potentially losing his life, and
then with his dying breath telling Erica to give Kendall the second chance
she deserves, it brought tears to my eyes. I'm thankful that AMC didn't
destroy the connection that has been present long before they ever knew
they were half siblings. CJ Smith, Norman, OK
IN PERSON
In 2006 I won a trip to the Daytime Emmy's from Alice 97.3 and Vitamin
Water. We went to a special bowling party at Lucky Strike in LA with
Vanessa Marcil (ex-Brenda, GH). You should've seen my husband's face when
I told him who we were going to meet! She posed for photos, signed
autographs and bowled with us. Ludacris also stopped by after filming
JIMMY KIMMEL LIVE across the street. The next day (while still recovering
from a hangover) we got to watch Rick Springfield (ex-Noah/Eli, GH)
rehearsing for the show. This was a trip we will never forget! Here are
photos of my husband Ray with Vanessa and Rick Springfield rehearsing.
Lori & Ray Conrado, Elk Grove, CA
Robert Newman (Josh, GL) did an amazing job in Shenandoah at the Barn
Theatre in Augusta, MI. His performance was in August of this past summer.
I have also seen Kim Zimmer (Reva) at the Barn Theatre in past years. D.
Walker, Galesburg, MI
We met and visited with the very gracious and lovely Judith Chapman
(Gloria, Y&R) at her restaurant in Palm Springs, CA. (The Vineyard Tuscan
Grill, great Italian food by the way). We were celebrating our dad's 83rd
b'day and she came over, introduced herself, found a comfortable area for
our family to have after-dinner drinks that she actually carried over
herself and gifted to us. She was so nice as she was at the door greeting
a myriad of friends and guests during the evening. She had minimal makeup
on, dressed casually and looked beautiful, inside and out. She is a truly
classy, warm, friendly, lovely person who added to our celebration.
Beatrice and Lisa Lenes, Palm Springs, CA
I had the pleasure of meeting Tamara Braun and Eden Riegel (Reese and
Bianca, AMC) at Bobby Flay's Steak in the Borgata in Atlantic City on Sat.
January 24th. My husband asked if I could get a picture with them and they
said sure. They were gracious and very warm. Sheri Guttman, Manalapan, NJ.

January 30, 2008
GENERAL HOSPITAL is no stranger to action-packed storylines like the
current biotoxin crisis at the hospital. This week, the OR staff embarked
on a surgery to save a life, not knowing that their own lives would soon
need saving. Check out our For Your Eyes Only section, in which Senior
Writer/Editor Joe Diliberto chats with Jason Thompson on how Dr. Drake is
handling the situation.

Revolving Door
INs
--Matt's back in Oakdale, as Eric William Morris returns to ATWT on Feb.
2.
--Look for Ian Buchanan to return to B&B as James on Feb. 6. Bryan Genesse
(Donna and Katie's former object of affection) then returns after a
20-year absence from the show, on March 12. Robin Riker (Beth) and Andrew
Collins (Jarrett) are back on Feb. 5.

Meanwhile, look for the condition of Nazanin Boniadi's character, Leyla,
to take a turn for the worse.
--Don Diamont's last airdate as Y&R's Brad is Feb. 5.
THE TOP 10 PLUS
1. It's clear that YOUNG AND RESTLESS' Chloe and Billy had a lot of time
together during their clandestine romance.
2. BOLD AND BEAUTIFUL's sudden designer Pam was a riot trying to hide her
"masterpieces" from the "spies" for Jackie M.
3. Well, ONE LIFE TO LIVE's Dorian calling Rex "that meddling little
bastard" makes it obvious what she thinks about him.
4. DAYS OF OUR LIVES' Stephanie gives new meaning the words "low
maintenance." She passed on Philip's fancy-schmancy date in favor of a
beer and game of pool at The Cheatin' Heart.
5. So much for taking a job where no one knows her. On her first day of
work, Y&R's Lily ran into Cane, Kate and Roger.
6. B&B's Eric told Nick he could keep the Forrester designs in exchange
for Eric "keeping" Rick. Um, why would Nick say no to a deal that sweet?
7. AS THE WORLD TURNS' Emily offered to pay Jade to woo Casey, and Jade
spat that she wasn't a hooker. Irony alert!
8. Finally (and hooray!)...ALL MY CHILDREN's Kendall woke up. It looks
like life will definitely not be a dream for her.
9. More with OLTL's Dorian...when David asked her, "What is a journey
without a single hardship?" her very telling answer was, "First class!"
10. It's ironic that GENERAL HOSPITAL's Patrick realized how dangerous
Earl was after grabbing the phone from...Epiphany.
11. Why did B&B's Rick stand there silently when Stephanie told him she
knows he's the Forrester traitor? Is she that menacing? Actually, yes.
12. It's fun to see GUIDING LIGHT's Bill and Billy together -- and
thankfully not fighting!

FOR YOUR EYES ONLY
From Senior Writer/Editor Joe Diliberto: With the biotoxin ravaging the
hospital, claiming victims left and right, I asked GENERAL HOSPITAL's
Jason Thompson how Patrick is dealing with all the chaos.
WEEKLY: Patrick has a lot of balls in the air this week.
THOMPSON: Y'know, it's basically his ass on the line, to be frank about
it. People are coming to him, as far as running the hospital, and all this
stuff has just happened, and he's not immune to it. He's not a superhero.
There's a lot going on with Patrick, and within the hospital everybody's
got their own story, [we're] losing people, and all that kind of stuff.
It's a little bit of a hectic time. WEEKLY: And Patrick has a particularly
personal stake, with Matt's fate on the line. THOMPSON: Matt was in the
OR, and Patrick feels guilty because it was his surgery at first, but Matt
took the surgery, so Patrick feels guilty about that. That is Patrick's OR
team, and he didn't check the X-rays. There is a lot of worrying about
who's responsible. Who's not responsible? WEEKLY: Did you research real
biotoxin effects? THOMPSON: Not necessarily, because more than half the
story is not knowing the effects of it. It's a weapons-grade toxin, and
we're just not sure of the extent of it. We're not sure how bad it's going
to get.
WHY WE CLAPPED
In the end, AS THE WORLD TURNS' Brian was simply a flawed man -- but
Laurence Lau's portrayal was without fault. Lau fought back tears before
unleashing Brian's anger at those who wanted to help. The crack in Lau's
voice and tears in his eyes betrayed a man who finally realized he could
no longer deny his true nature to others -- or, more importantly, to
himself. Lau uncorked Brian's frustrations and allowed the character to
breathe at last. Lau was, in a word, perfect. Which earned him Applause,
Applause kudos for Issue 6.

NIGHTWATCH
--Don't forget to tune in to NBC on Monday, Feb. 2. The Peacock network is
kicking off the evening with a special 3-D episode of CHUCK at 8 o'clock,
followed by the start of a new volume of HEROES at 9, and the season
premiere of MEDIUM at 10 p.m.
--As long as you don't mind creepy-crawlers, you will want to watch A&E's
new reality series, THE EXTERMINATORS, beginning Feb. 4 at 10:30 p.m. The
13 half-hour episodes follow Louisiana's Vexcon, a family business that
tackles so-called "extreme" pest cases -- everything from an army of ants
that invades a home to gigantic snakes.
THE WE IN WEEKLY
--From News Editor Mala Bhattacharjee: So, I have this thing for cute guys
holding babies. I've waxed poetic about it in blog entries and in my
weekly print column, The Soapbox. GENERAL HOSPITAL's Patrick and Emma?
Baby-holding Hall of Fame! Ditto for Lucky and his boys, Cameron and Jake.
This week, I got a double whammy of baby-holding goodness when AS THE
WORLD TURNS' Dusty brought Eliza to see Paul. I was so enthralled by that
adorable, wee child and the handoff from one set of arms to the other,
that I didn't even care that this was Paul and Dusty's umpteenth fight
over Meg. I was just like, "Awww, they're all so cute together! Why can't
they all move into Fairwinds and cuddle?" Then there was Wednesday night's
LOST. As you might expect, I was...lost. Because that's just the nature of
that show. But watching Henry Ian Cusick extol the virtues of Scotland to
Desmond's curly-haired little son more than made up for me having no idea
what's going on with the island. It's amazing how much trauma-inducing
story this favored trope of mine will allow me to hand-wave away.
