Y&R PreVUE: Week of March 23 Edition

Sunday, March 22, 2009 8:12 PM ET | By Venus Stone

-- Just below the surface...



THIS WEEK ON: THE YOUNG AND THE RESTLESS



Nikki begins to doubt that Katherine is the real deal on Monday, March 23. That

same day Victor puts his two cents in by telling Nikki that the last time she

trusted someone, she nearly got herself and others killed. Cane begins to

question if gaining custody is the right thing when Lily turns his proposal

down, Wednesday, March 25.



The Inside Story: Digging Deep

Unable to get over the fact that nobody believes who she is, Katherine begins to

lose hope. Not wanting to give up on her friend, Nikki talks to Paul about

another possible way to prove who she is. Paul says that the only other way is

to exhume the body to prove that it's truly Marge. Nikki is on board but Heather

puts a big damper on things when she tells them that it's not their call to

make; they must get Jill's permission, to which she quickly denies. Not giving

up, Nikki approaches Victor on the matter. When Victor hedges on helping,

Katherine lashes out at him in true form; which makes him realize that it really

is her. Victor then convinces Jill into giving the go ahead to have the body

exhume, on the condition of his giving her controlling interest in Jabot. In the

meantime, Murphy, who truly loves Katherine, pops the question of marriage. She

instantly accepts. Things however get nasty between Jill and Katherine when both

bicker about who is right.



A Closer Look: Losing Grip on Reality

Amber finally finds herself face-to-face with an injured Kevin. She insists that

they get him to the hospital but he refuses, taking them back to the cabin. When

Amber tried to talk to him he becomes angry and shoves her in the closet with

Clint's dead body and locks it. Through the door Amber tries to convince Kevin

that Clint, who he still thinks is his dead father, Tom, is truly dead. Kevin

opens the closet door and tells Amber he wants her to help him make a coffin to

put the body in. Unfortunately Amber says the wrong thing when she tells him

that she thinks they should go to the poilce, causing Kevin to snap, pushing her

into the coffin. Meanwhile, no longer in the coffin, Amber is told by Kevin that

he's taking her to Canada and that she's going to help him with the next bank.

woman who looks like Kay IS Kay - Victor reminds Nikki that the LAST time that

Nikki trusted a con artist, David left destruction in his wake wherever he went.

Jana and Gloria become worried when they spot news reports about the chipmunk

mask being found at a scene splattered with blood. When Amber rushes to the

crime scene, Amber finds Kevin and returns with Kevin to Clint's most recent

hide-out. However, Amber soon realizes that Kevin has lost touch with reality.

Kevin keeps telling Amber that Kevin is being forced to rob banks by his

"Father" When Amber tries to explain that Kevin's father, Tom Fisher, is dead,

kevin goes off the deep end and locks Amber in the closet with Clint's body!

Meanwhile, Michael and Daniel have arrived at the scene of Kevin's latest

Chipmunk robbery. A police officer lets slip the information that Amber was

spotted with Kevin shortly after the robbery. In the meanwhile, Amber tries to

get Kevin to believe that Clint is NOT his father and that Clint is dead - but

Kevin remains suspicious. Murphy is thrilled when Katherine turns up to see him.

While they are discussing the mystery of Katherine's latest DNA test, Katherine

has a brief memory of the time which she spent with Murphy - and they embrace.

becomes concerned when Kevin produces an electric saw and declares that, since

with Kevin's plans and they end up making a coffin from an armoire inside

Clint's hideout. Amber tries to talk to Kevin about Jana and the happy life

which Kevin shared with Jana in Genoa City - and Kevin begins to come out of his

fog. At the same time, local news begins to report that Amber is Kevin's partner

in crime. Amber tries to convince Kevin that they need to go to the police and

explain what happened - but Kevin is frightened by Amber's suggestion. Instead,

Kevin tries to convince Amber that they need to make a run for the Canadian

border to keep Clint from finding them. Amber finally agrees to go along with

Kevin's plan - and they begin driving toward Canada. Afterward, Michael and

Daniel arrive and are concerned when they discover Amber's bloody scarf and

Clint's body. However, Amber DID manage to leave a message behind which enables

Michael to deduce that Kevin has flipped out entirely and is on a crime spree.

At the same time, while on the run with Kevin, Amber attempts to convince Kevin

to consider calling Michael. However, Kevin rejects Amber's plans outright and,

instead, announces that they need to rob another bank. Jill quizzes Jack about

Sharon and Jack hit the sheets. When Paul and Nikki originally suggest that they

exhume 'Katherine's" body in order to determine Katherine's identity, Jill

initially refuses. Accompanied by Katherine, Nikki next goes to Victor for help.

When Victor explodes at Nikki and begins lecturing Nikki about trusting con

artists and coldly advises Nikki to just let Katherine rest in peace, Katherine

erupts with an explosion of her own and gives Victor a royal piece of her mind

about Victor's rude behavior. Victor quickly concludes that only the real

Katherine Chancellor would have dared to jump down Victor Newman's throat that

way! After Nikki (and Katherine) succeed in convincing Victor that Victor should

lend his assistance to their quest, Victor approaches Jill with a tempting

offer. Victor offers to turn the 5% of controlling stock in Jabot over to Jill -

finally agrees to allow Marge's body to be exhumed.

The Young and the Restless Spoilers

Submitted by Jillian Bowe on March 19, 2009 - 8:25pm

Hey dolls! Sorry for the delay, mama had to get her hair done and as much as

mama loves the kids, she's not about to cancel that bad boy! Some really great

stuff's headed our way on The Young and the Restless.



Kevin/Amber: While on the phone with Daniel, Jana and Michael, Amber ends up at

the latest bank that Kevin's robbed when she hears gunshots. Amber ditches her

phone and is unable to alert the gang about what's going on. She heads out to

search for Kevin and she finds him with a bullet wound. Meanwhile the gang is at

Crimson Lights terrified after hearing the gunshots ring out, which has Daniel

and Michael dashing out to look for their loved ones. When the men wind up at

the bank, a cop lets them know that the Chipmunk Bandit has struck again and

Amber was spotted with Kevin. Kevin and Amber head back to a cabin and Amber

figures out that Kevin is very far gone from reality. Kevin then tells Amber

that his "dad" is forcing him to do things and Amber fills Kevin in on the harsh

reality that Tom's dead. Kevin doesn't believe what Amber is saying, he thinks

that Clint is his dad and goes off on Amber and locks her up in the closet with

Clint's corpse! Amber is scared out of her mind because of her friend's mental

state and also wonders if Kevin killed Clint. Amber tells Kevin that Clint is

not his father and that Clint isn't "sleeping," as Kevin says he is. She tells

Kevin that Clint's dead.



Kevin has an eerie calmness about him and then he whips out a chainsaw and tells

Amber they have to make a coffin for him! The duo do so by using an armoire at

the cabin. Frantic about her friend's stability, Amber talks to Kevin about Jana

and tries to fill him in the great moments they've had and Kevin starts to

revert back to normal. At that moment, they both hear a news bulletin that says

Amber is Kevin's partner in crime, which has Amber flipping out. She tells Kevin

they both need to head to the police to straighten things out, but unfortunately

for her, Kevin once again loses it and whips out a gun and makes Amber get into

the coffin! Kevin tells Amber that they will head to Canada so that Clint will

not locate them. After they are long gone, Daniel and Michael arrive at the

cabin and spot a dead Clint, along with Amber's bloody scarf. They find a

message from her that lets them know that Kevin's gone off the deep end and he's

on a robbing spree. Amber tries to cajole Kevin into calling Michael and have

them turn themselves into the police, but Kevin flashes his gun and tells Amber

that they are going to another bank. Amber's between a rock and a hard place.

She knows that Kevin may snap and kill her if she doesn't go along with his

plan, but also doesn't want to leave her friend by himself.



Paul/Nikki/Katherine/Jill: Paul (where the hell has he been?) and Nikki hatch a

plot to prove that Kay's really who she says she is. They have a roadblock

though, Jill! Paul comes up with the idea to have, "Kay's" body exhumed to prove

that its not really her. Heather lets her dad and Nikki know that in order to do

that they need Jill's permission. Heather spins a lie to Jill in order to get

her over to the GCAC . When she shows up, Jill comes face to face with Paul and

Nikki and they let her know that they want to exhume Kay's body to match her DNA

to Jill's. Jill shoots the idea down because she truly thinks that her mother is

dead and wants her to rest in peace. Nikki then goes to Victor for help and he

unloads on Nikki for her even thinking that Kay's alive and that's too much for

Kay to take because the grand dame goes off on Victor for speaking to Nikki in a

harsh manner. That is all the proof Victor needs that his dear friend is in fact

alive, only Katherine Chancellor can dress Victor down in that way.



With Victor on the bandwagon , he comes up with a deal that Jill cannot refuse,

exhume Katherine's body and he will give her total control of Jabot. Jill tries

to find out why Victor wants to do this but as usual the Black Knight doesn't

reveal a thing to Jill so she decides to do it. "Kay's" body is taken to the

M.E.'s office for the testing. While that is going on, Nikki and Kay start to

ponder if Jill's really her daughter. Murphy pops by and shocks Kay by asking

her to marry him and she agrees! Later on at Joe's diner, Jill and Kay have a

showdown where both women are sure that once the test comes in it will prove

what they are saying. As Jill waits at the medical examiner's office, she is

positive that the results will come back and show that Kay's really dead and

Marge is a con that she's been telling people about. What goes down next is

something that fans aren't expecting.



Jill/Kay: Fans of the duo's famous brawls get ready because these two throw down

at Billy and Chloe's wedding!



Mac: She returns with daddy Brock.



Cane: He has a proposition for his baby brother.



Nick/Phyllis: The lovebirds have a showdown over Sharon.4228 Hillsdale Circle







********************************************************************





--From tvguide.sympatico.msn.ca (about all soaps)





  The Suds Report: March 20, 2009

By Nelson Branco





Natalia accepts Frank's proposal on `GL'! `Melrose Place' diva is `AMC's new

Liza! Is Rick Hearst out at `GH'? How much money was Deidre Hall making on

`DAYS'? `Y&R's Katherine finally regains her memory













SUDSIEST QUOTE OF THE WEEK:

"I feel much sexier and much happier. This is the first I felt good enough to

say, `Here I am, world.' And I'm in a swimsuit."

—Caitlin Van Zandt (Ashlee, GL) in People magazine

Translation: True beauty comes from the outside not the inside.



All My Children, A/ABC — Liza returns — and she's no Christian!

• Melrose Place super-bitch Jamie Luner has been recast as the new Liza Colby

and is expected to air in either late April/early May. Previously played by Emmy

winner Marcy Walker, Liza has "reinvented herself as an attorney and will come

back to town to reclaim her daughter Colby [Brianne Moncrief]," exec producer

Julie Hanan Carruthers tells TV Guide magazine. "We also find out Liza is

secretly working for someone in Pine Valley." You just know head writer Chuck

Pratt is playing with himself over this casting coup. Knowing Pratt, Liza will

come to town as a confused bisexual.





• Writer Darin Little is stuck in merry ol' England due to Visa problems. Don't

worry, fans — the former Coronation Street scribe is still penning the bad crap

we watch each day from across the pond. Hurry back, Darin.



As The World Turns, Global/CBS — Damian and Noah?

• Super-sexy Paolo Seganti (Damian) is getting a new love interest. Guess who?

No, it's not Noah! Actually knowing this incestuous soap, it very well could be

— or Luke, for that matter. Meanwhile, Seganti tells Soap Opera Digest that his

return is open-ended. "We're taking it day by day," reports the Italian

Stallion.



• Congratulations to one of the most underrated and beautiful actresses in our

business, Colleen Zenk Pinter (Barbara, ATWT) and her sexy hubby, Mark Pinter

(Agent Rayner, GH). The real-life soap couple became first-time grandparents on

March 15. Daughter Siri Pinter and boyfriend Carson Daly welcomed Jackson James

Daly, who weighed in at 7 lbs., 8 oz. Hopefully, Colleen will shove a burger and

a milkshake down Carson's skinny throat sometime soon. He's way too thin these

days.



• Super stud Billy Magnussen (Casey) has taped an episode of the new Amber

Tamblyn (ex-Emily, GH) ABC series The Unusuals. The episode, "The Dentist," will

air in May where Magnussen plays a character named Bo.



The Bold and the Beautiful, CTV/CBS — Is Bill Spencer B&B's new man-whore?

• According to Don Diamont, his character Bill will likely be paired with that

dingbat Donna Logan. But knowing this soap, in a few months time, Bill will have

bedded Brooke, Felicia and Katie, and married Rick!



• B&B chief Bradley Bell tells TV Guide's Michael Logan this week that Thomas is

the culprit behind the various murder attempts on Rick's life. WTF? According to

Bell, Thomas felt Rick usurped him as man of the house when the fashion designer

bedded his mother and two sisters. Man of the house? That's funny, because

Thomas hasn't lived at home in years. I need a better motive than that. How

about Thomas was jealous he was the only family member not to have sex with

Rick? That I'd believe.



Days of our Lives, Global/NBC — Is Brooks leaving?

• Emmy-nominated Darin Brooks' (Max) pilot Blue Mountain State has received a

12-episode order on Spike TV. Good luck with that.



• DAYS superstar Alison Sweeney (Sami) returned to work eight days after she

gave birth to her daughter, Megan Hope Sanov. Sweeney and her new bundle of joy

are featured in this week's People magazine, where she claims she lost all her

baby weight using the Nintendo Wii. "That helped a lot," she says. The pretty

star is also on the cover of Soap Opera Digest this week. Welcome back, Ali;

we've missed you! DAYS was even harder to watch without our favourite vixen

wrecking havoc in Salem.



• Insiders report that prevailing wisdom suggests that head writer Dena Higley

has something on executive producer Ken Corday. Using that logic, does that mean

Josh Taylor (Roman) has something on Corday, too? This week, Bo's latest

premonition has Hope and Roman ending up in bed together! All together now:

Ewww! But who can blame Hope? Taylor is sex on two legs. Um, no. Oh-so-beautiful

Kristian Alfonso (Hope) should be paired with the likes of James Scott (EJ) or

Galen Gering (Rafe), and not an old man.



• In court papers filed on March 9 regarding Deidre Hall's (ex-Marlena) divorce

from Steve Sohmer, it was revealed that the superstar made $28,000 a month from

DAYS. Doing the math that means she only made $336,000 a year. And Corday

couldn't afford that?



General Hospital, CTV/ABC — Hearst out? Charleson staying?

• Thanks a lot, Without A Trace! After seeing my straight wife, Vanessa Marcil

(ex-Brenda) on the CBS procedural, I realized how much I miss my Emmy-winning

Portuguese Goddess. Las Vegas wasn't exactly my favourite show, but I've gone a

long time without a Marcil fix. And I want more. TVGuide.ca hears CBS is very

happy with Marcil's work, and may sign her to a longer contract. I say, sign on

the dotted line, beautiful.



• Here's more proof actors should never become writers: Laura Wright tells

Michael Fairman her "dream is to do an Alias-type storyline, where Carly gets to

change clothes, kick guys in the face, and karate-chop them. [Jax would be her

partner]. Ingo [Rademacher, Jax] would look so good in a tuxedo. We would be

really funny at it, too. I don't know how well that works [on] GH, but maybe we

have our own spinoff!" Keep dreaming, Laura. And the less violence and

action-adventure on this show, the better, so keep your opinions to yourself.

That's all we need is head writer Bob Guza getting any more ideas.



General Hospital, ABC  • Sexy bitch Jerry Jacks (Sebastian) must have lost a

bet. On April 15, the 24 actor returns for a brief cameo.



• The New York Times weighed in on the Acai berry "phenom," a.k.a. Monavie Gate.

Click here to see what the authority had to say about Steve Burton's (Jason)

part-time job.



• My GH moles are reporting that Leslie Charleson (Monica) is safe, but Rick

Hearst (Ric) is not. "Rick's known for a while he's getting the boot, and is

trying to get back on Y&R," says an insider. Although most critics would prefer

Hearst return to GL, it doesn't look like the three-time Emmy winner is ready to

move back to New York or Peapack, N.J., for that matter.

Guiding Light, Global/CBS — Olivia's worst day ever!

• Congratulations are in order for the very-reproductive Daniel Cosgrove (Bill)

and his wife, Marie. The happy couple welcomed their fourth child — and first

son — Finnian Jack on March 4. Finnian joins big sisters Lily, Esmé and Ruby.

Hey, if I was married to that rascal Cosgrove, I'd be with child all the time,

too.



• Put down the plaid shirts, Otalia fans: This week, GL's most fascinating

character, Natalia, says yes to Frank's proposal! Also, Emma runs to Phillip for

support. Frank Dicopoulos tells Soap Opera Weekly that Frank is in the dark

regarding Otalia's mutual lust and love for each other. The front-burner star

says, "He knows that they're really close friends and that Olivia's been very

helpful by giving him some pointers and some insight into Natalia. That's it."

Someone buy this guy a clue. With Jessica Leccia (Natalia) about to go on

maternity leave, it will be interesting to see where GL will head with this

breakout story. Can the ratings-hungry soap afford to have their biggest couple

off their show?



One Life to Live, A/ABC — Jared and Natalie learn the truth!

• There's hope for Starr; or is there? This week, Natalie and Jared figure out

Chloe is Starr's baby, Hope. OK, major gripe time: Why is head writer Ron C

blowing his load so early with this ingenious plot? Remember when baby-switch

storylines lasted decades? Apparently, Natalie and Jared don't tell anyone but

considering Natalie's paternity was withheld from her, is that really realistic?



• This is awesome news: Réal Andrews (ex-Taggert, GH) is auditioning for a part

on One Life! Hopefully, ABC signs the sexy bastard.



• The role of Stacy needs to be recast. Sorry, but Crystal Hunt is phoning it in

and just doesn't gel in the role. Also, Hunt and Farah Fath (Gigi) look nothing

alike. Raise your hand if you're hoping this serial killer (zzzz…) makes Stacy

his or her latest victim? Meanwhile, Daytimeconfidential.com's Jamey Giddens had

a brilliant casting idea recently. How about recasting Adriana with Passions

star Lindsay Hartley? Now that'd be a hot love triangle I could invest in.



The Young and the Restless, Global/CBS — Katherine finally regains her memory!

• Whoever is writing the "black storyline on Y&R" should be shot. Why does Neil

Winters always have to be paired with a black woman? Y&R should have paired Neil

with Victoria, which would further help integrate Neil with the rest of the

show, especially Victor Newman. One of the biggest mysteries on this show is why

the African-American clan are always segregated from the rest of the canvas?

It's bordering on racist, people. Also, as daytimeconfidential.com's Jamey

Giddens recently opined, "It looks like Olivia is the new Mamie!" Poor Tonya Lee

Williams (Olivia)! She came back for this?  The Young and the Restless, CBS



• Holla: Vail Bloom (Heather) and Eric Braeden (Victor) are my new favourite Y&R

super-couple! Nothing in my life gives me greater pleasure than watching Victor

Newman treat that stupid bitch like trash! Did you see that scene last week when

Victor slammed the door in the D.A.'s face, while she screamed from outside and

he blissfully ignored her? I loved it. And I want more. Who knew that Eric

Braeden (Victor) and Vail Bloom (Heather) would become my favourite Y&R pair?



• What do you with a problem named Gloria? One step forward and two steps back.

Listen to daytimeconfidential.com scene-stealer Mike, who hit the nail on the

head on the CBS podcast.



• Finally! On April 1, Beau Kayser (Brock) returns to finally prove that "Marge"

is really Katherine Chancellor. Sources say that the show delayed the reveal to

coincide with the soap's 36th anniversary on March 26. On the special day,

Jeanne Cooper narrates the episode as Marge from the waitress' expensive coffin.

So, all is forgiven. In fact, I take everything I said back about the timing of

the storyline. Yes, it should have been wrapped up earlier, but luckily Y&R spun

a new dynamic last week when it was revealed that Katherine regained her

long-term memory, but lost her short-term one — which left my head spinning.

Whose heart didn't ache when Kay forgot about our beautiful Murphy? I simply

heart Kay and Murphy. May or Kurphy, anyone?

SOAP OPERA DIGEST INSIDER



March 19, 2009



Greetings From The Editor

Lynn Leahey



Dear Readers,

In the new Digest, Joanna Johnson is refreshingly candid about her return

to B&B as Karen (twin sis of the late Caroline). "I was a little nervous,

because I haven't acted in a long time," says Johnson, whose TV career

morphed into writing after her B&B job. Not only that, but her co-stars

have kept in soap-star shape. "They still look fantastic," laughs Johnson.

"I've been hiding in writers' rooms and eating." For more on Johnson's B&B

comeback, check Late-Breaking News.... That's where you'll also get the

scoop on another returning vet, Emma Samms, who's reprising the role of

GH's Holly. As for talk of big name cast cuts at the show, a GH

spokesperson insists, "There is no truth to these rumors."







TALES FROM THE INTERVIEW



DEVIN OWENS: For our 3/31 issue, I sat down with Y&R's Head Writer Maria

Arena Bell and Executive Producer Paul Rauch to see what makes them tick

as the show's behind-the-scenes wonder combo. One question that didn't

make it into my Q&A is what do they do during their free time (if any!)

away from the set?



Maria says: "I got very involved in the non-profit world and one of the

big passions in my life is the arts. I came through public school here in

California and I've always loved visual arts. I have a degree in art

history so one of the things I do in my spare time is that I chair a

non-profit board here in Los Angeles that puts the arts back into

elementary schools. I feel we're not encouraging creativity in our kids

and not reaching the students we should be reaching." Paul says: "Opera is

my life. It's soap opera during the day and opera at night. This year, my

wife is taking me to Bayreuth, Germany for the Wagner Festival. I've

wanted to do it all my life and Ava Wagner, who is the daughter Wolfgang

Wagner and a very close friend of ours has taken over the festival. I've

been trying my whole adult life to get tickets so for the first time, I've

gotten them so we'll be going in August. I know all the Wagner operas by

heart."



TOM STACY: So, what do you think of GH's Rebecca, or as some fans call her

notEmily or motorcycleEmily? The jury's still out for me, but I am

hopefully optimistic if, for nothing else, the sheer enthusiasm of her

portrayer, Natalia Livingston. In her latest sit-down with Digest, you'll

read that Livingston is giving the new role everything she has -- and even

she doesn't know where the story's headed! But despite the new hair, the

new clothes, the new makeup and the new voice, she's still the same

charming, effervescent gal underneath. Thank goodness! For more on what

the actress was up to during her time away from GH, check out the new

issue of Digest.



DANIELLE MCCLURE: The unique relationship between GL's Natalia and Olivia

has sparked a tremendous amount of buzz. No matter how you view the duo's

complicated love story, it's one that is being told slowly, steadily and

with the utmost care by GL's writers, which is what makes portrayers

Crystal Chappell (Olivia) and Jessica Leccia (Natalia) so happy to be a

part of it. I recently sat down with the two lovely ladies to discuss the

interesting "Otalia" dynamic and they didn't mince words about what it's

like to delve into such a complex on-screen romance. In short, they love

it and are happy that it's not being defined or restricted by labels.

Here's a bit of the interview that didn't make the final cut. Check out

page 62 in the new issue for the full story:



Chappell: It's just a love story and you can just embrace it. What we're

telling is a different kind of love story. Some people will call it what

they want to call it and that's fair. [Olivia and Natalia are] both saying

what some naysayers are saying. I think Olivia even says to Doris, 'A big

part of who I am is the reaction I get from men and I like that power, so

I don't know if I want to give that up.' We're addressing those issues.

Leccia: It's really basic. It's genuine. Chappell: Especially as Olivia,

she's the character who gets ousted and not the one who tells the love

story! I haven't really done a love story in ten years. I don't see a lot

of [love stories] being played out slowly on daytime. I'm a huge soap fan

and I watch all the soaps. I flip it around because I want to see what

people are doing and what's happening. I think that this is such a nicely

built love story that I'm just thrilled to be part of.... [turning to

Leccia] Have you talked to Moose [the security guard at GL's CBS studios]?

I've never seen people so excited about a storyline and he'll just say,

'Are you guys going to keep doing this!?' What's lovely is that nothing

has even happened! He'll get up, leave his post and go watch the show!

Leccia: I thought maybe there should be some dream sequences or something

but then I thought well that's just me writing the show in my head! You

know, dream kisses so they don't technically count. Chappell: Like

Natalia's kissing Frank and then she pulls back and it's Olivia...?

Leccia: Okay, sure! [laughs]!

CAMPAIGN TRAIL

You gotta love soap fans' creativity -- Digest regularly receives doodads

and goodies from readers who know how to make a statement.



VERA HADZI-ANTICH: Even though it was a fairly slow week on the campaign

trail, there were some cute St. Patrick's Day themed campaigns that came

in! The EJ and Sami campaigners sent in the coolest plastic champagne

glasses with "Ejami Go Bragh!" written on them and little green shamrocks

stuck along the edges. Also in the St. Patrick's Day spirit, the AMC

Zendall supporters sent in King and Queen postcards for the couple saying

"Kendall Slater is Queen of Zach's and the audience's hearts! Zach Slater

is King of Kendall's and the audience's hearts!" GH's Jasam fans also

hopped aboard the festive wagon and sent in green postcards claiming that

Jasam's "love will never be forgotten or fade away."



Unrelated to the holiday, ATWT's Peg campaigners sent in cards saying, "I

know the world is cruel but this is ridiculous! Reunite the Ryan family!"



Thanks for getting us in the St. Patrick's Day spirit!



TYPE SET



I would like to see Zach and Kendall sit down to really talk to each other

about what is happening in their marriage and how to get back what is

missing because you can see that Zach and Kendall are still so much in

love with each other, but they just don't know how to talk to each other.

Once Zach and Kendall finally sit and talk to each other, that is when

they will be able to move ahead in their marriage and get back what is

missing. Zanna





IN PERSON



I am a huge fan of ALL MY CHILDREN, and like millions of other women in

America, Thorsten Kaye [Zach] is my favorite. I was extremely fortunate to

be able to meet him Feb. 28th at the 9th Annual Detroit Red Wings Charity

event.



I'm a professional singer in one of Detroit's top bands, and we have the

honor and pleasure of performing at this event every year. Imagine my

excitement when I looked out in the audience and realized he was there!

Thorsten was the epitome of charm and humor and meeting him was the best

part of my evening! Julie Dilworth



STAR SIGHTING



I was recently at the Atlantis in the Bahamas and played blackjack at the

same table as Aiden [Turner]. Then, if that wasn't enough, we were on the

same flight home to JFK on JetBlue. He's a great guy, and he looks just as

sexy in person! Terri Goodlow, Dayton, NJ

really familiar. His name is Kevin on the show. Was he ever on a soap?

GUIDING LIGHT's "teaming" of Dinah (Gina Tognoni) and Shayne (Jeff Branson) got

props from both News Editor Mala Bhattacharjee and Copy Editor Marc Wilkofsky.

Check out our We in Weekly section for their comments.





LATE BREAKING

 

 

Sneak Peeks — Issue of March 31, 2009





B&B's Thomas (Drew Tyler Bell)

—JPI

AMC

•Frankie and Randi wed.

•Zach punches Aidan.



ATWT

•Damian returns.

•Jack walks in on Craig and Carly.



B&B

•Rick learns that Thomas is the guilty one.

•Owen learns Bridget's secret.



DAYS

•Bo envisions Hope with Roman.

•Chloe makes a shocking discovery.



GH

OLTL

•Stacy blackmails Gigi.

•Antonio leaves Llanview.



Y&R

•Kevin terrorizes Amber.

•Murphy proposes to Kay.



Revolving Door



INs

•Emma Samms is bringing Holly back to GH! She'll be back in May. Also, after

much speculation, GH is recasting young Michael, who will be a tad older when

Drew Garrett takes over the role on April 14.



•Thorsten Kaye is staying on as AMC's Zach. Phew. Stuart and Cindy's son Scott

will return to the soap. He'll be played by daytime newcomer Adam Mayfield and

debut April 9.



•Roscoe Born's Tom returns to Y&R on March 31 to torture Kevin, and Beau Kazer

is back as Y&R's Brock on April 1.





THE TOP 10 PLUS

 

 



GH's Johnny and Maxie (Brandon Barash and Kirsten Storms)

—ABC

1. Plot device du jour: ALL MY CHILDREN's Reese and YOUNG AND RESTLESS' Adam

were blinded by the hand of others.



2. Somehow, it's totally believable that GENERAL HOSPITAL's Carly just happened

to have a gorgeous wedding dress in her closet.



3. Whoo! GUIDING LIGHT viewers get Bizzie again.



4. March Madness? Sweet Sixteen? Who needs basketball games when you have AS THE

WORLD TURNS' Parker getting married? The judge even called Carly on a personal

foul!



5. ONE LIFE TO LIVE's post-accident Cole is still taking pills...it's time for

someone to seriously help the guy.



6. Y&R's Ashley has showed Adam more love than his father and siblings combined.



7. GH's postpartum Robin hit on a hunky carpenter in a bar? Insert your own

inappropriate "hammered" and "nailed" joke here.



8. OLTL's Rex shaving his head was sweet for Shane — and him doing it shirtless

was sweet for Rex fans.



WHY WE CLAPPED

 

 



Marcy Rylan (Lizzie, GL)

—JPI

Playing a character at her wit's end, GUIDING LIGHT's Marcy Rylan had to balance

Lizzie's fear of her father with anger at her mother and concern for her

grandfather. Rylan made the emotional roller coaster look effortless, but not

painless — especially when she physically collapsed at the realization that

Grady had kidnapped her. We'd like to prop her up with Applause, Applause kudos

for issue 13.





MAILBAG

 

 



•From News Editor Mala Bhattacharjee: It's not often that we get to see the

literal "fruits" of our labors here at Weekly, so imagine my surprise when I got

a beautiful basket from Edible Arrangements from some fans of AMC's Zach. The

whole floor had to help me devour it, so we all thank you!

 

 



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

 

 



Grace Park (Sharon, BATTLESTAR GLACTICA)

—JPI

•From Senior Writer/Editor Joe Diliberto: With BATTLESTAR GALACTICA wrapping up

tonight, I cannot help but feel nostalgic about this high-water mark in TV

drama. I had occasion to ask Grace Park (Sharon) about some of her favorite

memories of BSG. "I have so many good memories," she beamed before referencing a

surprising episode. "It's funny: the boxing episode [season three's "Unfinished

Business"], even though I wasn't featured very much in it. Tahmoh Penikett

(Helo) and I hung out for eight days straight. We were in it a lot, because we

were in the background. It was a blast. Some of the scenes [were favorites],

like shooting Adama at the end of first season, and having Athena/Boomer with

each other. That was particularly stressful for me, but in the end, I thought it

looked really amazing." Based on what I've seen to this point, my hopes for

tonight's finale are sky-high. I will share my thoughts in my Night Shift blog

on our Web site Monday.





Nathan Fillion (Rick, CASTLE)

—JPI

•From Managing Editor Gabrielle Winkel: So I finally caught an episode of

CASTLE. Nathan Fillion (ex-Joey, ONE LIFE TO LIVE) is just so darn cute and

appealing. I like the show, and hope it's a hit for him and ABC. He deserves —

he needs to be a star. I loved the little shout-out to OLTL when Rick, the

character he plays, said he got some ideas for his first book when he watched

OLTL when he was younger. And the commercials for CASTLE, which run during the

soaps, mention that Fillion played OLTL's Joey. Cross-referencing — we love it.





 

 THE WE IN WEEKLY

 

 



AMC's Amanda and Jake (Chrishell Stause and Ricky Paull Goldin)

—ABC

•From News Editor Mala B



Bhattacharjee: I've already admitted to being intrigued by GH's non-couple

Johnny and Maxie (and I go on at length about their scenes this week in my March

18 blog entry; go check it out), and now I'm being reeled in by a few more

would-be pairings. Like my colleague Marc below, I'm charmed against my will by

GL's Shayne and Dinah. And I'm really, really trying not to think about the fact

that she's the contemporary of Harley, who babysat Shayne when he was a newborn!

I'm also becoming a fast fan of AMC's Amanda and Jake. Jake's got that charming,

snarky Martin banter down pat, and I'm so happy Amanda finally has a decent guy

in her corner. And despite my recent declaration in my Soapbox column that I

can't root for anyone on OLTL until Todd is paired with the Grim Reaper, Brody

and Jessica's sweet friendship has definitely caught my eye. The jury's still

out on Cristian and Layla, though. The "You're a bitch, but clearly we should

have sex!" vibe feels kind of contrived, since they never used to hate each

other so much. But, hey, being locked in a freezer together is a surefire way to

thaw out.





•From Copy Editor Marc Wilkofsky: Call them Shaynah or Shinah (I prefer to go

with Dayne), but GUIDING LIGHT's Shayne and Dinah are one pair that's full of

heart...and emotionally tortured souls. I loved that Josh, who has generally

accepted his son's unpredictable new flame, mentioned to Shayne that he and Reva

haven't been fans of Dinah. Wonder why? Oh, right, for one thing, she

semi-accidentally killed Hart, the love of Reva's sister Cassie's life. Just

like several Springfielders, Reva and Josh have been finding their way past

Dinah's problematic deeds, and that's a good thing, because her scenes with

Shayne are consistently riveting. Just keep her away from guns, please.









AMC's Ryan (Cameron Mathison)

—ABC

•From Senior Writer/Editor Joe Diliberto: I stared at my TV, slack-jawed, when

ALL MY CHILDREN's Ryan claimed that he did not have to look at the unidentified

corpse to know it was Greenlee, because she was wearing a personalized ring that

Ryan had designed for her. Aidan should have pointed out that anyone could have

stolen the ring from Greens, or even found it along the riverbed and put it on.

Of course, the mystery lady would have then fallen into the river and died in

the exact same manner as Greenlee, but, hey, that's less unbelievable than Ryan

assuming an unidentified corpse is his wife just because he saw a ring. Ryan was

supposed to be in love with Greenlee, so I would expect him to be absolutely

thorough. But then I run up against AMC's need to keep the door open for the

character to return — no matter whose face she's wearing.





•From Managing Editor Gabrielle Winkel: I'm going to sound like a broken record

for the next few weeks because of the very dark stories ONE LIFE TO LIVE is

telling. However, I'm thinking that the Cristian/Layla dynamic is going to be

the lighter story we're given. I do like them together. She's finally tough

enough to stand up to him. She'll melt, eventually. But the squabbling is very

entertaining.

Daytime Emmys To Air On The CW

GoldDerby.com reports that The National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences

are about to announce that the Daytime Emmys will be broadcast on The CW network

in late August, most likely on Aug. 31. The news ends months of speculation on

the dismal fate of the awards show. Though The CW doesn't air any daytime soaps,

it is the home of GOSSIP GIRL and various talk shows that are also in the

Daytime Emmy world.



DVDs of performances from all the pre-nominated actors (Check out the pre-noms

here) have been mailed out today to the voters. Nominees in the major categories

will be announced on May 14 during the fourth hour of the TODAY show. The

remaining nominees will be announced during a reception that evening at the

Hearst Building in New York City.





Y&R's New Jill?

Is Jess Walton leaving Y&R or is the show casting Katherine Chancellor's

biological daughter? A casting call went out for Jill Abbott today, to start

shooting ASAP. The show is seeking an "established actress" for the contract

role. She is described as "late '50s, Caucasian, female. This sexy, fiery woman

is a smart and confident CEO of a successful company. While she is strong and

can hold her own, she is also a mother and grandmother who wants what is best

for her family." An insider says Walton has been under the weather lately, so it

could just be a temporary recast. Check back with soapoperadigest.com for more.



Y&R's Kevin Goes After Amber

Clearly, Kevin is big trouble. When his good friend Amber finds him, instead of

being happy and normal, Kevin forces her to rob a bank with him. "Kevin has lost

it. He doesn't even really realize who Amber is," explains Adrienne Frantz

(Amber). For more on Kevin's downward spiral, pick up the March 31 issue of Soap

Opera Weekly, on sale now.

(SoapOperaNetwork.com) -- Putting trust in the devil...



THIS WEEK ON: AS THE WORLD TURNS



Luke and Noah make new friends, Thursday, April 2. Casey gets some much needed

guidance from Allyson on Monday, March 30. Lucy gives Dusty information that

Paul is using her to get even with him. Holden doesn't trust Damien as far as he

can throw him and begins to suspect that he's the cause for Luke's accident;

while Damien on the other hand tries to persuade Noah to get Luke on his side.



The Inside Story: Reversal Decision

After her night with Craig, Carly wonders what Jack must think of her after

walking in on the two of them in bed together. She immediately goes over to

clear the air but Jack dismisses her. Janet later explains to Carly that Jack

was about to make amends with Parker but changed his mind after seeing her with

Craig. Craig in the meantime gives Parker and Liberty reassurance that he's on

their side but points out that Parker shouldn't strive to gain his trust fund

simply to spite and get even with his parents. Back at the police station, Margo

tells Jack that he should put aside his pride and offer the olive branch to

Carly for Parker's sake. Jack heads to Milltown and finds Carly at home. The two

of them talk things out and head to the hearing together. When they arrive, Jack

steps up by defending Carly's character to the judge when he starts talking

about all her past crimes. When the judge returns with his decision, he tells

Parker that he will not give him emancipation, let alone control over his trust;

but he will give him the opportunity to choose who he wants to be trustee over

it. Parker tells the judge that he wants Craig to oversee his trust fund. Jack

flips out and quickly points the finger at Carly, saying she's the cause of

everything. While Carly is giving Craig a stern warning, Parker on the other

hand becomes smug, thinking that Craig will let him have his way with

everything. Jack, still seething at what has taken place tries to demand that

Craig step down as Parker's trustee, but Craig refuses, Janet, on the other hand

is trying to talk some sense into Lliberty and when it looks as if it might

work, Parker's arrival has Liberty changing her mind. Parker and Liberty head to

go apartment hunting and find one but when it comes time to get the money from

his trust fund, Craig tells the young man no. Carly comes up with another

solution; move into the house with her. The teens reluctantly agreee. That

evening, Carly has a drink to celebrate her trust in Craig.



A Closer Look: Vienna's Second Chance

Shortly after discovering that the insemination procedure didn't go through,

Vienna and Henry learn that Vienna is in fact pregnant; this time with Henry's

baby. Viennna insists that they continue through with making Brad and Katie's

dream come true by passing off their actual baby as theirs. Henry tells her that

it is wrong for them to hide the fact that Brad's not the baby's father, but

Vienna points out to Henry that he was the one that said he never wanted to be a

father and plans on holding true to her promise to their best friends. Meanwhile

back home, Brad and Katie begin to wonder if there is something that the duo are

keepign from them. When Katie approaches Vienna on it, she assures her that all

is fine. Henry in the meantime begins to develop feelings of what it feels like

to have Vienna carrying his baby instead of Brad's. Later that day,Vienna and

they all can share in the joy of the baby's progress.

make an impact on Thursday, April 2.



The Inside Story: Unrelated

After Katherine stuns Jill with the news that they are not mother and daughter,

Jill lashes out accusing Kay of pulling out another con job. Katherine, tired of

Jill's turning of a blind eye to the fact that all three tests were legitimate,

leaves. Shortly after, Nikki arrives at Jill's office and snaps into her about

her constant doubts. Jill sneers at her that she will never believe the DNA test

is correct. Nikki hits a nerve when she tells Jill that she doesn't even know

who she belongs to and that if she feels the need to be right, to choose a lab

of her own to conduct the test. Without realizing it Jill blurts out that Nikki

best contact Brock to return to Genoa City to coduct a final DNA test. Taking

her advice, Nikki does exactly that and calls Brock with the news that Katherine

is still alive and is needed back home. Afterwards she shares the news with

Katherine who instantly begins to worry but Nikki assures her that Brock will

know who she is. As the women are talking, Katherine admits that she has grown

to love Jill as her 'daughter'. Meanwhile, Brock who is at the coffeehouse meets

furiously refuses. Later that day, Katherine, who is at the doctor's office for

her tests gets the confirmation that she in fact does have Lyme Disease. Jill,

having second thoughts shows up at the trailer and Katherine is stunned to see

her. Things start off cordially between the two women until Katherine tells her

about her diagnosis. Jill quickly points the finger at Katherine telling her

that it's nothing more than another con. Fed up with Jill's accusations,

Katherine tears into her and midway through her tongue lashing Jill realizes

that she truly is Katherine. Unable to handle the truth it becomes Jill's turn

to lash out warning Katherine to stay away from Billy and Chloe's wedding.

wedding whether she likes it or not.

YOUNG AND RESTLESS

MONDAY, MARCH 30 2009

Y&R -- JILL'S REGRETFUL DECISION -- Lily breaks off her engagement to Cane.

However, Cane convinces Lily to hang on to the ring anyway - in case she changes

her mind. As Katherine confronts Jill with the facts about the DNA tests in

Jill's office, Jill continues to refuse to believe that the two negative DNA

tests only prove that Jill is NO relation to Katherine. When Nikki suddenly

arrives and suggests ANOTHER DNA test, Jill snaps that Nikki should call Brock

and have BROCK's DNA tested against the DNA of Nikki's fraudulent friend. Nikki

decides that Brock WILL hold the answers - and begins making plans to convince

Brock to come to Genoa City. Still on the run, Kevin forces Amber to help him

rob the bank. During the robbery, Amber looks directly into the surveillance

camera and mouths the words "Help me." When Amber prepares to leave the bank,

she realizes that Kevin is so weak from the loss of blood that he is on the

verge of collapse. After Kevin and Amber escape from the bank, Amber panics when

they arrive at their getaway car - but Kevin suddenly loses consciousness. Amber

begins to worry that Kevin will die from his wound. As Amber hears the police

sirens rushing toward the bank, Amber struggles to revive Kevin and get the car

started. When Amber is unable to get the car started, she pulls Kevin out of the

car in the hope that Kevin will be able to run with her - but realizes just how

THURSDAY, APRIL 2, 2009

Y&R -- KATHERINE'S HEATED CONFRONTATION WITH JILL -- Adam is affected by

Victor's words. Billy and Sharon hit the sheets on the eve of Billy's wedding to

Chloe. At the wedding rehearsal, Jack and BIlly prevail upon Sharon to serve as

Chloe's bridesmaid. Billy and Sharon are both obviously unnerved by this turn of

events. Jill orders Katherine NOT to turn up at Billy's wedding. So, of course,

Katherine is determined to put in an appearance. At the rehearsal dinner, Chloe

and Jill begin sniping at each other and the snarky remarks begin to become

contagious. As everyone at the dinner begins to indulge in spiteful remarks,

Billy attempts to get everyone to call a truce - but no one pays any attention

to Billy. This unnerves Billy - so Billy heads for the nearest bar. Later, Billy

just happens to run into Sharon. In spite of their best intentions, Billy and

Sharon end up hitting the sheets again. In the meantime, BROCK has listened to

Katherine's description of her memory losses and has suggested that Katherine be

tested for Lyme Disease. When Katherine IS tested - it is confirmed that Kay is,

indeed, suffering from Lyme Disease. Later, when Jill stops by the trailer, Kay

brings Jill up to speed about the report of lyme disease - and Jill erupts! When

Jill snaps that this is just another con by a con woman, Katherine explodes and

reminds Jill of some of Jill's past mistakes. Jill is shaken and begins to

believe Kay's claim to be Katherine Chancellor. However, Jill hides her growing

concern and angrily orders Kay to stay away from Billy and Chloe's wedding. As

Katherine and Jill get into another argument - Kay declares that she will be

attending Billy's wedding whether Jill likes it or not.

fraud really IS Katherine, Jill engages in some two-fisted drinking as Billy's

wedding approaches. In the meantime, Billy is still unnerved by his recent

escapade with Sharon - but attempts to put on a calm front. The wedding ceremony

experiences a few interruptions - and the wedding guests end up taking a small

break. Although Billy is eager to move forward with the ceremony, Billy ends up

being overruled once again. In the meantime, besides being tipsy, Jill is ALSO

miffed when Nikki arrives at the reception with the results of Katherine's DNA

test with Brock. After Jill lets fly some snippy remarks to Nikki - Katherine

steps in and attempts to get Jill to shut up. Instead, Katherine accidently

swipes her hand across the wedding cake and Kay and Jill end up in a cake fight.

Sharon, it COULD turn out to be the last straw where Nick is concerned.

Hendrickson had a brooch she bought and put on some ribbon to wear in her hair."

is by Tadashi, with beaded details at the lapels."



Eileen Davidson (Ashley) - "This eggplant-colored knit dress came right off the

Is beauty a thief or a gift?



Flux's 2009/10 season, "A Season of Give and Take" begins with Adam Szymkowicz's

PRETTY THEFT, a play about ballerinas, boxes and the dangers of beauty. After

losing her father, Allegra falls under the wing of bad girl Suzy, only to find

an unexpected friendship with Joe, an autistic savant. When things between them

take a violent turn, Allegra and Suzy escape on a cross-country trip. The girls

end up befriending Marco, a mysterious thief who claims he cannot be caught.

Newest Flux member Angela Astle stages this unsettling play from the critically

acclaimed playwright of Nerve, Food for Fish and Incendiary.



The creative team for PRETTY THEFT includes Kate August (Stage Manager), Heather

Cohn (Set Design), Andy Fritsch (Lighting Design) Kevin Fuller (Sound Design),

Becky Kelly (Costume Design), and Ashley Martinez (Choreographer).

the chance to discover new talent, and Johnna Adams' wildly ambitious…new

trilogy is currently offering a bumper crop of it." Mark Peikert, Backstage (The

THE RUNDOWN

Damien vows to prove his innocence.



Lucy begs Dusty to keep her secret.



Luke and Noah get some help at the foundation from newcomers Zac and Zoe.



Vienna and Henry dig themselves into a deep hole.



THE SETUP

Lucy tries to convince Paul that she and Dusty had sex in Chicago, but when he

sees Meg and Dusty kissing, he warns Lucy that he's not easily fooled. He

reminds her that he's the one in control and can spill her secret to Craig if

she doesn't take Dusty to bed. When Dusty learns about Meg being forced to stay

at Fairwinds, he vows to never put his wife in jeopardy again. He decides to

take action to secure Meg's safety and heads to talk to Lucy about his secret

meetings with Johnny, deeming them the cause of his failure to keep Meg from

Paul. When Dusty arrives, Lucy falls apart in his arms and kisses him, insisting

she's not over him. Dusty doesn't fall for his ex-flame's sudden desire, though,

and she's forced to tell him everything. With time running out, Lucy suggests

that they pretend to be together so Paul will back off and Dusty reluctantly

agrees. While Lucy tells Paul that she's making her move on Dusty, Dusty

ominously tells Meg to trust him and not believe anything that Paul tells her.



OAKDALE HAPPENINGS

Alison tricks Casey into going to Oakdale U with her and he agrees to take an

extension course with her. Little do they know, it might not be so easy. When

Vienna realizes she's pregnant again, this time with Henry's baby, she asks

Henry to help her pass off the baby as Brad and Katie's. Henry's a tad

reluctant, starting to like the fact that Vienna's pregnant with his child. Brad

and Katie suggest that Henry and Vienna move in with them so they can be closer

to the baby, and Henry and Vienna soon set their plan into motion.



Despite Jack's defense of Carly in the courtroom, Parker's emancipation is

denied. However, Craig is appointed as a new trustee over the teen's trust fund

and Jack is livid, especially when Carly asks him to give Craig a chance. Parker

and Liberty's happiness is short-lived when Craig throws his support behind

Carly.



Damian tries to reach out to Luke by agreeing to fund PSA's for the foundation,

but Luke coldly refuses. Holden and Lily agree to fund the PSA's themselves and

return from taping to find their house ransacked. Although evidence keeps

mounting against Damian, Noah's convinced that Damian really is innocent and

tries to convince Luke of the same. Luke doesn't budge and when Damian

approaches Noah for help reaching out to his son, Noah rebuffs him.

Daytime Confidential Spoilers for wk of 3/30

« Thread Started on Mar 27, 2009, 5:59pm » [Quote]

Coming up are some interesting times for Rick – hopefully, more interesting than

the interminable uncle/niece love affair. He'll be putting Ridge in a difficult

position in exchange for keeping quiet about Thomas. He'll be receiving an

insincere apology from Thomas when Rick decides not to go to the police. He'll

also be giving Steffy an engagement ring, which will rub Ridgiculous up the

wrong way, but Brooke will be happy for the twosome.



Stephanie will be distraught when Donna unknowingly creates a ruckus between her

and Eric. They're going to be arguing over Rick and Steffy, which will lead to

Eric throwing Stephanie out of Forrester Creations. She'll reminisce about her

newlywed days with Eric, and receive unexpected advice from Nick. I wish she'd

just rip Eric or Donna a new one. That dumbass skank Donna is no match for the

Stephmonster.

Owen is going to be moving over to Jackie M. He'll also be sharing a kiss with

Bridget. Rumor is, he may have flirtations (or more) with Jackie in the future.

Sounds like he could be heading for a "pretend" romance with Wacky Jackie.



Jackie and Owen are both going to be moving. Could they end up together? I doubt

it, but you never know with this soap. Personally, I would love to see Owen's

character fleshed out a bit more, and for Bridget to properly connect (and

boink) with him. But, are the writers capable? I'm not sure, and that ticks me

off, because I think there is a lot of wasted potential on this show.

Opportunities are being missed every episode – instead, we get the same recycled

crap, week in, week out. Would a tiny bit of exposition about Bridget and Owen's

relationship do us any harm? Apparently, it would, because all we get is Sick

(AKA Steffy and Rick) 24/7. Hell, I am sick to my stomach watching that junk.

(Sorry about the rant if you were just looking for spoilers!)

As well as kissing Owen, Bridget is going to be surprised at Eric's response to

her new designing job over at Jackie M.



Nick and Jackie research the history of Forrester Creations to try and get the

upper hand.

Another rumor is that Stephanie and Jackie will spend more time in scenes

together. I hope this is true – Susan Flannery and Lesley Anne Down can knock it

out of the park on a daily basis, unlike some of the other "performers" on this

show.



Rick, Steffy, Bridget and Thomas are the ones RUMORED to be taking the show

forward as the younger generation. To be honest, the Tridge kids are not

impressing me with their acting chops, but hey – it's all subjective. I do think

Kyle Lowder is doing great with the crappy scripts he gets. I love Ashley Jones

too, but she's not been on much – hopefully once her stint on True Blood comes

to an end then we'll see more of Budge.



In addition to Joanna Johnson's upcoming two-day appearance (April 28/29), rumor

is she could possibly return for a longer stint in July.

SOD interview with Don Diamont

« Thread Started on Mar 25, 2009, 4:00pm » [Quote]

This week's SOD features an interview with Don Diamont, where he discusses his

new role on the Bold and the Beautiful.



Diamont is very enthusiastic about his new role and says "this is unbelieveably

exciting". He says just to be on B&B is "great", but that it's "wonderful" that

Brad Bell wanted to create a character for him to play.



Diamont says he prefers not to discuss his departure from Y&R, but he says he

had already gotten inquiries from "a New York show" when he heard from Brad

Bell. Diamont says that Bell gave him some information about the character, "and

I was all over it. It's exhilarating and refreshing to sink my teeth into

something like this."



Diamont will be playing Bill Spencer, Jr. He says that the character is "very

powerful, but he didn't grow up with a silver spoon." The character and his

father developed a relationship a few years ago after having been estranged.

Diamont explains that "it wasn't exactly a cuddly [relationship], but it was

still a relationship, and they bonded over business."



Diamont then discusses the differences between Brad Carlton and Bill Spencer Jr.

"This guy could not be a bigger departure from Brad." He says that Bill dresses

differently than Brad, he thinks differently, he's ruthless, and "he's even

better looking".



SOD explains that since B&B tapes across the hall from Y&R, Diamont was happy to

be back in familiar surroundings. Diamont says that "everyone at Y&R has been

thrilled for me", and he says visiting the Y&R set was like a "welcome home".



Diamont says that after he taped his first day on B&B, he understood why Eileen

Davidson liked it so much. "Everyone has been so warm and welcoming. It's such a

relaxed atmosphere."



Diamont also notes that his Y&R character was named after Brad Bell, and now

he's playing someone named Bill, "so that's just beautiful to me", since both

shows were created by Bill Bell.



Diamont's first airdate is May 12th.

CBS Shopping for `Light' Replacement

« Thread Started Today at 10:44am » [Quote]

CBS may soon decide to pull the plug on "Guiding Light," the longest-running

daytime drama in television history.



While no final decision has been made, the network's deal for the Procter &

Gamble-produced drama—the least watched of the eight daytime serials currently

on the air—ends in September. But if CBS does drop "Guiding Light," it likely

would lock in a decision within the next month, people familiar with the matter

said. That would give writers a chance to tie up storylines.



CBS also would need to finalize new programming for the daytime hour that

"Guiding Light" would be vacating.



In the most significant indication that the network is seriously pondering life

without "Guiding Light," CBS has been talking to outside studios about potential

replacement programming for the show, sources said.



Possibilities under discussion include both game shows and talk shows. CBS could

easily cut its programming costs for the hour in half by switching away from a

scripted drama.



Representatives for CBS and P&G declined comment.



In addition to contracting with an outside studio for programming to replace

"Light," CBS daytime chief Barbara Bloom has been developing possible in-house

candidates for the soap opera's slot.



CBS executives are taking their time deciding the fate of "Light," which has

survived more than 70 years on radio and television. P&G also produces the CBS

soap "As the World Turns."



Nonetheless, a decision by CBS to end "Light's" run on the network wouldn't be a

surprise.



The serial has been the subject of cancellation rumors for the better part of a

decade. Those rumors became particularly intense within the past 18 months, but

P&G threw something of a Hail Mary pass last year when it implemented a radical

reworking of "Light's" production model.



On Feb. 29, 2008, the show ditched its traditional storytelling style in favor

of a lower-cost model that also was intended to give the show a more realistic,

less staged feel. Around the same time, CBS renewed "Light" for the current

season, retaining an option for an additional season.



Ratings for the show haven't improved since the switch. "Light" is averaging a

0.9 rating among women 18-49 and a 1.6 household rating, according to Nielsen.

Season-to-date, it's averaging 2.17 million viewers and a 0.9 rating in women

18-49; season-to-season, it's down 18% in viewers and down 25% in the

demographic.



"Light" began life as a radio soap opera, moving to CBS television.



Moving to the Web?



It's possible P&G or CBS could attempt to keep the show alive in some form on

the Internet, though doing so likely would require another radical reinvention

of its production model.



Much of the daytime drama business is struggling, with ratings for most soaps

down significantly over the past decade. NBC is down to one soap, "Days of Our

Lives," following the decision to dump "Passions" in 2007 (the show survived one

more season on DirecTV).

over for speeding. Jeffrey and Josh desperately try to get the unsympathetic cop

to release them so Jeffrey can get to Reva. Jeffrey finally arrives. Edmund and

asks Jeffrey to step out while the doctor checks Reva's progress. An anxious

Zack (ConroyJames Spaulding) Interview

« Thread Started on Mar 25, 2009, 8:41am » [Quote]

The younger generation of the Spaulding family is about to get a little bigger.

As Lizzie tries to settle down from the chaos of her life, she must be relieved

to have someone else around to take a little of the family's attention off of

her...or maybe not. Zack Conroy will be making his first appearance as her

brother, James, on April 8. The character was last seen as a child but has now

been magically aged to 18, just the right age to be a handful of trouble for

everyone. The cast has enthusiastically welcomed him on board.



Conroy only began shooting a few weeks ago, but already had a taste of how the

show works when he appeared as Leo on As The World Turns last year (Brad tried

to drown him). "It's like shooting independent film," he told me. "Very

enjoyable." In addition to that experience on P&G's fellow soap, he also just

happens to have grown up in the Peapack area. "This is cool for me. Kind of like

going home," he said. As well as looking remarkably plausible as the offspring

of Beth (Beth Chamberlin) and Phillip (Grant Aleksander), he arrives with an

added kind of recognition. The young actor previously appeared on the hit series

"Gossip Girl," playing Ben Simmons during its first season. Whether it was this

high profile gig or his good looks and easygoing manner, he's already proving to

be smart casting. Groups of young women seemed to be following him wherever my

colleagues and I spotted him.



So far, he's been taking the hectic schedule that the show has become famous for

in stride, impressing everyone on the set with his work ethic and devotion to

developing his character. I wondered how he went about doing this considering

there is so little to go on. "There isn't, but if you look at the relationships

people around you have, you can get a feel for it. Like, if my father didn't

like my granddad, maybe they'll have me having the same relationship with

Phillip," he explained. The general consensus among those I talked with was that

James' relationship with his father could very much mirror that between Alan and

Phillip.



Of course, it isn't just his parents who he will be sharing time with. Although

he and Lizzie may be siblings, he's always kept himself separate from her. "I've

seen a lot of the things she's doing and I don't agree with a lot of the stuff

she does," he commented. For the moment though, he'll be trying to steer clear

of the business to pursue other things. Possible sibling rivalry aside, he has

already set his eyes outside of the family and will try wooing Daisy. Of course,

nothing could infuriate his elders more than another Spaulding heir hooking up

with a Cooper.



The back-story created for the character has already hinted at other

similarities with his troubled father. James attended the same boarding school

and had a similarly rocky time there. Returning to Springfield and the family

fold, he tries to keep his distance from the rest of the Spauldings and their

unsavory reputation, but isn't against 'begrudgingly using the name' when it

will serve his interests. What those could be, and who he will be siding with,

still isn't clear. "Alan is like a father figure, but now that Phillip is back,

he's trying to take over that role... and I've never really liked Alan," Conroy

said. "He's trying, like I am, just to figure out what the relationship is and

what their motives are," he added.



This latest addition to Guiding Light is sure to strengthen the already rich and

complex dynamic that its most notorious family shares with the rest of the town.

It looks like good times are ahead for fans of the Spaulding family.

Last time we saw The Young and the Restless, Chloe (Elizabeth Hendrickson) asked

Lily (Christel Khalil) for help in getting Cane (Daniel Goddard) to back off the

custody suit for Delia but Lily lost her cool with Chloe. Jill (Jess Walton)

released Billy (Billy Miller) as C.E.O of Jabot and tried to offer Billy a

different position but Billy decided to quit instead. The drama intensified as

Jill fired both Jack (Peter Bergman) and Ashely (Eileen Davidson) while Kay

(Jeanne Cooper) delivered the DNA results to Jill in person to inform her that

all three tests didn't match since Jill is not Katherine's daughter.



Coming up on The Young and the Restless: Nikki (Melody Thomas Scott) devises a

new plan to prove Kay's identity. Will Jill agree to go along with it?



Monday

The week kicks off as Nikki and Jill have it out after Jill suggests she call

Brock. Elsewhere, Kevin becomes unconscious, consequently leaving Amber worried

about the leg wound killing him. Shortly after the robbery, Jeff and the bounty

hunter arrive at the crime scene and discover blood. On the other hand, Lily

shockingly turns down Cane's proposal and the couple part ways.



Tuesday

Phyllis questions Nick why he's always protecting Sharon as Billy takes his

frustrations out on Chloe. Meanwhile, Sharon overhears Jack coaching Colleen.



Wednesday

Amber struggles to get Kevin to snap back to reality while Billy gets an

unexpected yet tempting offer from Cane. Wednesday also marks the return of

Brock and Mackenzie to Genoa City.



Thursday

Billy and Chloe may have set the date but that doesn't stop Billy and Sharon

from hitting the sheets the night before his wedding. Adam, on the other hand,

is greatly affected by Victor's words.



Friday

The week concludes as Phyllis threatens Sharon while Jill and Katherine get into

a cake fight at Billy and Chloe's wedding.

Daytime Confidential Spoilers for wk of 3/30

« Thread Started on Mar 26, 2009, 12:43pm » [Quote]

Katherine/Jill

Its official, former enemies turned mother and daughter are NOT related! The

saga unfolds when Jill of all people gives the idea to Nikki when the latter

pushed for another DNA test. Jill denies this request and tells Nikki to have

Brock come back in town for the testing. Nikki loves the idea and brings it up

to Katherine. This is delightful for Kay because she knows that Brock will prove

who she's been saying she is but at the same time, Katherine's also scared to

have the test because it means that Jill will no longer be her daughter. Kay

would love for them to keep their relationship as is, even though they've had

fights the ladies still had some good times and Katherine will miss the close

relationship they've created. Meanwhile, Jill is rejecting the thought of not

being Katherine's daughter but as time goes on, it starts to look that way and

Jill is very hurt and starts to act out in anger. Brock comes to town and he

heads to Murphy's trailer where he sees his mother and knows that the woman in

question is his mother. Mother and son share a heartfelt reunion and Katherine

knows that she doesn't have to go all out to prove who she says she is to Brock.



Viewers will also find out why Katherine's memory has been lapsing. Brock knows

about his mother's memory loss before her, "death," and starts thinks she may

have Lyme Disease. Sure enough, once Katherine gets tested she finds out that

she has the disease and Brock phones Jill and implores her to face the truth,

Katherine is alive despite what the previous tests showed. There is an emotional

moment that Brock and Jill share and she finally relents to see Katherine. The

peaceful moment doesn't last thanks to Jill... When she learns of Kay's Lyme

Disease, Jill being Jill thinks that its all a hustle and starts to spew rude

things at Murphy (No that hoe didn't!). Kay becomes disgusted by Jill's

behaviour and unleashes her fury at Jill only the way Katherine can and that's

when it dawns on Jill... It really is Katherine!



The realization hits Jill like a ton of bricks and before the test results are

in and it disturbs her. Things take another nasty turn when Jill orders

Katherine to stay clear of Billy's wedding and Katherine being her vetos that

idea. When Billy's wedding day arrives, Jill becomes a bundle of nerves since

the test results are due that same day and she throws back quite a number of

mimosas! Katherine comes to Billy's wedding and the all the anxiety snaps when

Nikki arrives at the reception with the results of Brock and Kay's DNA testing.

Jill starts to become very bitchy and starts hurling insults until Katherine

finally puts her foot down and tells her to knock it off and swipes her hand and

we all know what goes down after that.........



Billy

The walls seem to be closing in on the playboy when Chloe tells him she wants a

splashy wedding at the Chancellor mansion. Billy nearly bites Chloe's head off

for coming up with that idea and Chloe keeps on pestering him on that idea until

he finally cracks on why he doesn't want to get hitched there.... Billy tells

her that he married Mac there! The poor guy has a hard time with Chloe's request

but he finally relents. Later on, Billy's watching Delia and he starts to have

pre-wedding jitters because he has an idea on what being married would be like,

him at home with Delia while Chloe's out shopping. Billy love Delia but he's not

too keen in the idea of Chloe being his spouse. Later on Bill dreams of being

married to Mac if things had worked in their favor and he loves that dream...

Cane swings by Billy's and starts to grill Billy about giving up the single life

for diapers and late night feedings. Cane then tries to bribe Billy by saying

he'll get CEO at Jabot if he gives up Delia.



Billy rips Cane and throws him out of the house. At the rehearsal dinner, Jack

and Chloe rope Sharon into being Chloe's matron of honor! The entire thing makes

Billy uncomfortable and things nosedive at the dinner when Jill and Chloe get

into a bitching match and everyone else at the dinner does as well. Billy tries

to calm everyone and when nobody acknowledges him he flips out. Billy ends up at

a Bar and bumps into Sharon and the duo end up back in the sack. The following

day is the nuptials for Billy and while he's at the Chancellor estate, on the

outside Billy's the picture of calmness but in his mind he's freaking out. The

wedding hits a few bumps and the guests want to have a tiny break but Billy

wants to go full steam ahead! Billy is hell bent on going though with the

ceremony because he knows he'll bolt if there is the slightest delay.



Jack and Ashley

Big bro and lil' sis get the axe at Jabot by Jill. She gets a kick out of doing

it.



Nick

He leaves Phyllis!



Victor

The mustache continues his secret plot against Jack.

SOW -A Closer Look: Billy Abbott

« Thread Started on Mar 25, 2009, 3:54pm » [Quote]

It's a big week for Billy, which starts when Chloe confesses that she wants a

big wedding at the Chancellor Mansion and he lashes out at her for it. He

married Mac there, which is the biggest reason he has an issue with it. Chloe

keeps pushing the idea and Billy can't really say, "I'm sorry, but my last

wedding was here." He has a difficult time accepting the idea, but he finally

caves and gives in to Chloe's request. The wedding will take place at the

Chancellor Estate.



Later, while he's watching Delia, Billy begins to have a few pre-wedding doubts.

He knows what life as a married man will be like. He thinks she'll be out

shopping while he's stuck with the baby. He loves the kid, but he's not so sure

about the idea of Chloe as a wife. Later, he has a fantasy about Mac and what

his life with her would've been like if things had worked out. That vision is

much more pleasant for him.



Afterwards, Cane drops by and questions Billy's decision to give up the playboy

lifestyle in exchange for fatherhood. Billy says, "You don't even know who I

am." Billy might be a little slow up the uptake as far as fatherhood goes, but

he's not ditching his responsibilities.



That's when Cane offers Billy a deal: Billy will gets the Jabot CEO position in

exchange for letting Cane raise Delia. Billy's response is, "Why listen to the

bartender about gifts he can't really give?" It's a slap in the face that Cane

wants to pay Billy off, so he orders him to leave the house.



Next comes the wedding rehearsal dinner, where Chloe and Jack trap Sharon into

being the matron of honor. Obviously, Billy is uncomfortable and this is the

last place he wants to be. As usual, things keep going from bad to worse when a

little family bickering takes place -- the usual for family gatherings. Chloe

and Jill get into a heated argument. Then everyone else at the table does. Billy

tries to keep the peace, but when nobody seems to pay him any attention, he

finally loses his temper.



Later, he goes to a bar and runs into Sharon, then ends up spending the night

with her. Billy Miller describes it as "a very lustful relationship. I don't

think there's a whole lot of discussion between them."



The next day, Billy heads over to the mansion, prepared to become a married man.

In his head, he's panicking. He's confused. There's a moment where things go off

kilter with the guests and they want to take a small break. Billy's like, "Don't

you understand? If we take a break, I'm out of here. So let's go on with this."

Billy wants to get the wedding over with and say the darn vows already!

Short Interview with Co-HW, Scott Hamner

« Thread Started on Mar 25, 2009, 3:51pm » [Quote]

Why They Undid It



We asked Y&R Co-Headwriter Scott Hamner about the show opening this new can of

worms with Katherine and Jill.



DIGEST: So why make Jill and Kay not be mother and daughter?



HAMNER: The writing team felt as if the Kay/Jill story in the last few years had

evolved to the point where things needed to be shook up. We started talking

about how to get back some of the dynamics that these two characters had when

they were archenemies. The Kay and Jill feud led to such incredible and wild

fights, so we wanted to bring some of that fun back. It just felt right that

this would be the next plot twist in the story that would give us back some of

the excitement and entertainment value of years ago.



DIGEST: Most fans did not like them being mother and daughter.



HAMNER: I really believe the impulse to throw them together in that way was a

brilliant twist. It created great story and it was such a huge shock, but we're

now at the point where we can all be satisfied with learning that was never the

truth. When you say fans didn't like it, I think we, as a writing team, felt

that same kind of dissatisfaction on some level.



DIGEST: What kind of relationship will they have now?



HAMNER: It will be even more complicated than when they were arch-enemies. We're

not looking to take them back to the exact place they were then. They have

developed a bond and a connection over the years. They care about each other as

if they are mother and daughter. But they're like oil and water. This is going

to tear it up for them and it's going to be a free-for-all.



DIGEST: This means Kay still has a daughter out there and Jill has a birth

mother to find.



HAMNER: All of those are possibilities because the best scenario is that story

begets story. This has set in motion a whole series of events that can take

numerous directions.

Interview with Christel Khalil

« Thread Started on Mar 25, 2009, 12:32pm » [Quote]

Interview Y&R: Christel Khalil Wants to Test Lily's Mettle



Like most characters on a soap opera, Lily Winters has gone through a lot in the

span of only a year. From losing the one that she loves, realizing that it

wasn't true, then finding out the guy that she's with hasn't been truthful with

her, well, that can change a girl.



Christel Khalil, who has played Lily on The Young and the Restless off and on

since 2002, realizes that all these things can really have an effect on a girl.

Christel says: "She's dealing with things that most people her age don't deal

with. That will make someone grow up and mature."



Now that the cat is out of the bag that Chloe's baby really is Billy's, not

Cane's, the aftershocks can still be felt. Lily was "shocked and disgusted and

hurt. I think Lily always likes to believe the best in people, and to find out

that Chloe is just plain evil is pretty sad for her. Lily is just too nice to

people most of the time."



Cane and Lily are free to be with one another, but Christel believes this would

have happened whether the truth about Chloe's baby had come out or not. She

explains: "I think their true love would have prevailed either way. When Cane

thought that the baby was his, it didn't matter, because he made it clear that

he didn't care about Chloe in that way, and he wanted to be with Lily. I think

that no matter what, Cane and Lily would have found their way back to each

other."



So, what was the deal with Billy? Did Lily have feelings for him, or was he just

a replacement for Cane while they were apart? "Lily was developing feelings for

Billy. It started out as a rebound, but then she started to like him. She liked

him, and she didn't really care about what anyone said. She was doing something

that she really wanted to do and didn't worry about what other people thought."



Even though Cane is not the biological father of Delia, he still wants his

parental rights. Christel reasons: "For seven months, he thought it was his

child, and he grew attached to her. Whether it was his child or not, he didn't

care; he really grew to love her. Lily understands his feelings about Delia, but

she doesn't really agree with him trying to take the baby away from Chloe."



Behind the scenes, things are far from dramatic. In fact, it's a veritable

lovefest. Christel says: "I love working with Elizabeth (Hendrickson, `Chloe'),

because she and I are such great friends. It's so fun to have fighting scenes

with her, because we love each other so much. Also, I miss working with my

family. I never work with my family anymore; I'm always with Cane's family. I

miss working with Kristoff (St. John, `Neil'). And I love working with Bryton

(McClure, `Devon'), because he and I are really good friends too."



So, Cane and Lily are back together. Now what? "I'd like for them to have some

time together where they can be happy for a while, but then, bring on the

drama!" Christel offers. "Drama is always more fun — maybe have something bad

happen to test their mettle as a couple."

  The Suds Report: March 27, 2009

By Nelson Branco





Will Tyra Banks host the Emmys on The CW? Exclusive: `Y&R' pens gay storyline!

`AMC's Tamara Braun out! `DAYS' afterlife: Deidre Hall tell-all? Plus: Thaao

Penghlis books a movie! OMG: `One Life's Daisy Awards available! Is Mickey Dwyer

Dobbin heading back to CBS? `Y&R' cast Canada-bound! Will `One Life' welcome

back Roger Howarth as Todd?









SUDSIEST QUOTES OF THE WEEK:

"You mean I have to buy that bitch again?"

—Robin Strasser (Dorian, One Life) explaining to welovesoaps.com's Roger Newcomb

that she had to re-buy a Susan Lucci (Erica, AMC) People magazine cover she

donated because it received zero bids at her charity auction

Translation: I'm the real star of ABC, and don't ever forget it.



"I don't know that I would mind it so much, but everyone around me says I'm not

allowed."

—GH's Kelly Monaco to TV Guide's Michael Logan regarding the possibility of her

going topless at her upcoming Las Vegas Peep Show

Translation: I only pose nude for Brian Frons, dumb ass!



"It's a wonderful thing. It looked like the show was flatlining, and now it has

a second wind, and the best place to get a second wind is on a youth-oriented

network. I don't know the production company or the specifics, but I wouldn't be

surprised to see a CBS influence [on the show] given that CBS and The CW are

part of the same [corporate] family."

—Former Soap Opera Weekly editor and Starting Over Emmy winner Jonathan Reiner

to Variety's Michael Maloney

Translation: Because we all know young adults sit home all day watching bad

soaps, game shows and reality series.



"Everyone's talking about it. People are excited, and they're already buying

dresses."

—Talent manager Michael Bruno to Variety's Michael Maloney in the same article

that didn't give credit to The Envelope's Tom O'Neil, who actually broke the

story.

Translation: Soap stars are morons for buying dresses before the nominations are

announced — and before NATAS confirms that, in fact, The CW is airing the Emmy

ceremony. Also, everyone's talking about the American economy — not the Daytime

Emmys, sillies!



"I get to the set and they have this nice, comfy hospital bed all ready for me.

I said, `I'm not giving birth in that! Go find me a birthing bed with stirrups.

I need stirrups!' The crew looked at me like I had three heads, but you know me

— I can't do anything half-assed. So get ready `cause it's all right there,

baby. This birth will be in your face!"

—Kim Zimmer (Reva, GL) to Michael Logan in TV Guide regarding her character's

upcoming late-in-life birth

Translation: I should be running this cheap-ass show!



"I would never say anything about someone else's sexuality. Ever."

—Clementine Ford (nuMac, Y&R) to TV Guide's Michael Logan, after the columnist

pressed her about coming out in Diva magazine while she starred in The L Word

Translation: That's SOAPnet.com's job.



AWARD SHOW CENTRAL

The Daytime Emmys headed to The CW; Tyra Banks to host?

And the winner is… the daytime-TV industry?



Yesterday, L.A. Times' awards show impresario Tom O'Neil exclusively broke news

that The CW is thisclose to announcing it will air the 36th annual Daytime Emmy

Awards, which have been homeless for almost a year.



As previously reported, ABC, SOAPnet, and CBS all turned down the opportunity to

air the awards show telecast, which claims to honour the best in daytime

programming.



O'Neil learned that the Daytime Emmys will be held in Los Angeles in late summer

— probably on Aug. 31 — at the Orpheum Theatre.



According to the story, O'Neil reports, "Some details are still sketchy, but the

National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences hopes to have everything ironed

out and unveiled by late next week. Nominees will be announced May 14. About a

half-dozen top categories, like drama series, talk shows and lead acting, will

be unveiled during the fourth hour of the Today show on NBC. Another half-dozen

categories, like supporting acting, will be announced during a reception at the

Hearst Building in New York that evening, followed by the release of the full

list of nominees a few minutes later."



Meanwhile, the buzz around town is that the youth-oriented network plans on

asking Daytime Emmy-nominated Tyra Banks to host the kudo-fest. A source close

to Banks opines, "It makes sense since America's Next Top Model is The CW's

crown jewel. That, and the fact that she'll more than likely be nominated again

for hosting her daytime talk show [The Tyra Banks Show]. I wouldn't be surprised

to see [her pals] Jay Manuel and Miss Jay with their glam sticks on the red

carpet. I doubt they'll ask a soap star to host [the Emmys] since The CW doesn't

air any. She'll more than likely invite [multiple Emmy winner] Oprah [Winfrey]

to join her. Tyra is all about her image now, and hosting the Emmys is at the

top of her list of things to [accomplish]."



An Emmy-winning soap head writer tells The Suds Report that she's not impressed

with the network choice or the Emmy airdate. "Everyone knows that the Labour Day

weekend is the lowest-watched time of the year. I doubt the ratings will be

above a 3.0, to be honest. Gossip Girl basically averages that number, and it's

the most-buzzed about show on the net. [Conversely], Y&R attracts five million

viewers each day, so [I believe] this is a step down. Last year's Emmy Awards

earned a five-something rating on ABC, so do the math. They should air on a

major network, not The CW."



The insider continues, "[Also] The CW's demos [skews] very young. For them to

honour an industry that is watched primarily by an older demo is a little

[risky]. Is the CW audience really watching soaps and talk shows during the day?

I doubt it."



The source continues to say that the daytime younger demo ratings rank under one

million for most soaps, so trying to attract young adults is, in her words,

"foolish. TV Land, Lifetime, or Bravo would have been a better fit. I bet The

CW's thinking is they want to attract soaps' older audiences to their network —

and not the other way around. But I also hear there's a back-up network in case

The CW changes its mind, or NATAS wants more money [for its licencing fee] to

air the damn thing!"



Meanwhile, an Emmy-winning soap actress worries that the Emmycast will feature

more talk shows than soaps, since The CW's daytime lineup mainly consists of

court programming and chat-fests.



She asks, "If [ABC and CBS] rarely aired soap clips during the acting

categories, can you imagine what The CW will do. You just know they'll promote

the hell out of Gossip Girl, 90210, and the upcoming Melrose Place [update]

rather than our shows. This sucks."



Stay tuned for more on this developing story.



EXECUTIVE RESHUFFLING

Is Mickey Dwyer-Dobbin returning to soaps?

Daytimeconfidential.com's Jamey Giddens caused quite a stir the other day when

he reported that a former network exec is in talks to take over a pair of soaps.

So who could it be? Well, it sounds a lot like former CBS/P&G exec Mickey

Dwyer-Dobbin to me. When The Suds Report spoke to the newly svelte exec at this

past year's Tech Emmys, Dobbin — who helped kill Another World by promoting soap

blocker Christopher Goutman and Ellen Wheeler — claimed she was very happy not

working in the "stressful" soap world anymore. Hmmm… has she had a change of

heart? And why would she ever want to return to run ATWT and GL back into the

ground — if those are indeed the soaps in question. Considering Dobbin is a

proud New Yorker, that rules out the west coast soaps, unless the other

candidate is former ABC chief Angela Shapiro, who created the now-defunct soap

magazine, Soap Opera Update.



All My Children, A/ABC — Tamara Braun out! Did One Life make a play for Kaye?

• As previously reported, Emmy winner Eden Riegel (Binks) is back on the AMC set

this week filming her mini-return to help whisk off Tamara Braun's sexually

confused character, Reese, out of town. Expect the scenes to air sometime in

late April or early May. And yes, that means Braun has decided not to sign with

the soap for a longer stint. Smart move, Tams. Riegel tells The Suds Report fans

can expect, "a semi-happy reunion," for the maligned lesbian couple. "They

return to Paris," Riegel teases.

• Thorsten Kaye (Zach) tells The Suds Report he's happy he re-signed with AMC.

"There's still lots of story to be told," he says coyly, without revealing the

length of his new contract. The big question is: Did One Life make a play to

steal the Emmy-nominated actor during his touch-and-go contract negotiations?

"Nope," he answers. "No one asked me." His wife, and former leading lady, Susan

Haskell (Marty, One Life) tells me that she'd welcome him back on her soap as

either Ian or Patrick Thornhart in a heartbeat. She states proudly, "I love

working with my husband. We never get sick of each other!"



• Ca-ching: Daytime's version of Bruce Willis and Demi Moore, Emmy winner

Michael E. Knight (Tad) and Spirit Award winner Catherine Hickland (Lindsay, One

Life) have sold their 12th-floor co-op for $2.3 million.



• Susan Lucci, who? Daytime's most famous un-aborted fetus, Colin Egglesfield

(ex-Josh) lends his hair-model talents to CW's Melrose Place update. He's signed

a contract with the nighttime sudser as one of its leads, avid surfer Auggie who

also works as a sous-chef at a hot resto. Congrats.



• Is head writer Chuck Pratt-erella trying to lure yet another prime-time diva

to their show? That's the buzz on set.



• Emmy winner David Canary (Adam/Stuart) returns to Pine Valley on April 3 after

a brief "hiatus."



• Valley tidbits: Jamie Luner debuts as nuLiza on April 17. Also, ABC has

confirmed that former MVP actress Brittany Allen debuts on April 21 as Marissa

Tasker.



As The World Turns, Global/CBS — Dancing With Van Hansis? World Turns in

jeopardy?

• Considering the passionate and loyal Nuke fan following, would Van Hansis ever

consider joining Dancing With The Stars as a contestant? The star, who was

dancing up a storm on Bob Guiney's Rock The Soap Cruise, tells The Suds Report,

"No! I'm an actor. I could care less about fame or celebrity." Wisely put, Van.

Meanwhile, check out Hansis' foray into broadcast journalism as he interviews

one of my favourite actors, Paolo Seganti (Damian):







• Soaps.com has learned that two new female characters will debut on World Turns

in the next few weeks.



• Will World Turns be renewed this year? No one knows for sure. "We're a little

scared," offers one setside source. "It looks like GL will be renewed, but we

haven't heard anything about our [show]."



• Charissa Chamorro (ex-Tory, GL; ex-Sophia, One Life) has been cast as a

mystery woman who has clairvoyant powers! Just what daytime TV needs…



• Hurray: Sarah Glendening (Lucy) is leaving the soap again as one of the worst

recasts in recent memory. She last airs on April 2. Hansis tells me that

Glendening and he are pals, and is "sorry to see her go." Meanwhile, despite

news reports to the contrary, Chauntee Schuler (Bonnie) is staying in Oakdale.



• Beloved production associate Alex Roalsvig has left the soap after decades of

loyal service. Good luck in your future endeavors, Alex! As soap legend and

creator Irna Phillips announced moments before World Turns started spinning each

weekday: "We know the bleakness of winter, the promise of spring, the fullness

of summer and the harvest of autumn. The cycle of life is completed. What's true

in nature is true in man, for he too, has his cycles. As the World Turns."



The Bold and the Beautiful, CTV/CBS — 22 years of camp, incest, and rags! East

coast soap tried to seduce Diamont!

• In honour of B&B's 22-year anniversary, welovesoaps.com's Roger Newcomb dug up

the campy soap's first eppy. Tune in here to see how far the mighty have fallen.



• Here's a storyline idea I'd kill to see: Stephanie learns that Taylor almost

slept with Eric at one point. But knowing La Forrester, she'd justify it somehow

by blaming it on our dear Brooke. "That slut from the Valley forced you to date

Eric, didn't she? Don't worry, my little plastic surgery victim, I'll kill that

whore!"



• Sexy bastard Don Diamont (Bill) tells Soap Opera Digest that he's thrilled to

be back working at Television City (where both Bell soaps tape), but refuses to

discuss his departure from Y&R. As the never-before-mentioned son of Bill

Spencer, Diamont says it's ironic that his Y&R character, Brad Carlton, was

named in honour of his new boss, B&B chief, Bradley Bell, and that his new

character, Bill Spencer is named after Bell soap creator, William Bell. Diamont

also reveals that a New York soap offered him a role, but he turned it down.

Question: which soap has enough cash to hire Diamont? One Life? AMC?



Days of our Lives, Global/NBC — Is Hall planning to write a tell-all book?

• Clarification: Deidre Hall's (ex-Marlena) salary for 2008 was $1,238,656, not

$336 000 as The Suds Report previously reported. Hall's monthly $28,000 income

was a stipend paid out from her company, Panache, and not her full salary from

DAYS. Panache provided the superstar with a basic income, while additionally

taking care of her additional expenses, which include travelling, and aesthetic

expenditures. Thanks to Daytimeroyalty.com's jane1978 for the tip.



Regardless, my point remains: if $336,000 a year was what Hall needed to live

on, it proves she would have been amenable to a pay cut to continue playing Dr.

Evans Black.



Meanwhile, don't be too surprised if Hall writes a tell-all book in the near

future. A source close to Hall tells The Suds Report, "That's why she isn't

giving any interviews about her DAYS exit. She's a class act all the way, and

doesn't believe in burning bridges." Well, until she lands a million-dollar book

deal, that is.



• Thaao Penghlis (soon-to-be-ex-Tony) and I recently caught up in Los Angeles.

The Daytime Emmy-nominated actor tells The Suds Report that he finished taping

DAYS two weeks ago. "I just came back from a location shoot where I shot a

film," said the actor, who was in great spirits. Penghlis says he hopes his name

appears on the final Emmy ballot this May.



• One of my favourite DAYS hunks, Michael T. Weiss (ex-Dr. McHairy Mike Horton),

is starring in Broadway's Impressionism, which opened this week.



• DVR alert: Blake Berris (ex-Nick) booked a gig on the season's highest-rated

new series, The Mentalist, which airs on April 7.



• Stop the presses: John Callahan is back as Dr. McBloated on April 3.



General Hospital, CTV/ABC — Pelphrey GH-bound!

• GH pulls a B&B: On April 6, the ABC soap will start airing on Swedish

Television. Tragically, the Swedes will be introduced to the awful Metro Court

hostage storyline in its first episode, and not, you know, GH's glory era. That

should attract big numbers. Not.



• Soap Opera Weekly is reporting that GH decided to recast Michael Corinthos

instead of casting Sonny's other son, Dante in an effort to secure Emmy winner

Tom Pelphrey in the highly coveted new role. Pelphrey is trying out his luck

during pilot season before he decides to do us all a favour by returning to

soaps. Hurry back, Tom, because I'll be better able to stomach GH if your sexy

mug adorns this ridiculous soap. Can you imagine the heat a possible

Pelphrey/Sarah Brown on-screen hookup would generate? Poor Sonny!



• Next week, Port Charles fans can look forward to my Sarah Brown (Claudia)

interview, and the following week, a Jason Thompson (Patrick) and Kim McCullough

feature to help celebrate the show's 46th anniversary on April 1.



Guiding Light, Global/CBS — Is Kim Zimmer being shown the door?

• TV Guide's Michael Logan was brave enough to ask Emmy winner Kim Zimmer if

Reva's leukemia thread is GL's way of trying to ditch the high-priced diva! She

simply shrugged, "My contract's up in June. Who knows how this will all turn

out?"



• Is hair model Alicia Leigh Willis (ex-Courtney, GH) Springfield-bound? Soap

Opera Source is reporting that the former L Word star recently auditioned for

the role of Michelle Bauer. Wow — how the mighty have fallen.



• I'm watching Sex and the City all over again (which I do twice a year), and lo

and behold, Murray Bartlett (Cyrus) is featured in season four. Bartlett plays

Carrie's gay boyfriend, Oliver Spencer, a shoe distributor whom Carrie meets at

one of those homosexual dance clubs. Oliver sweeps Carrie off her feet, making

her gay husband, Stanford, very jealous.



One Life to Live, A/ABC — Will Llanview welcome back Roger Howarth?

• Count Emmy winner Erika Slezak (Viki) as yet another person who thinks this

Stacy storyline is a bunch of horse dung.



• Are you missing my darling Andrea Evans (ex-Tina)? Well, don't cry for the

sexy diva. She's been wisely cast in a starring role in the upcoming dark comedy

independent feature, Hit List. Evans portrays a former beauty queen who becomes

a trophy wife and mother. Congrats!

• One Life to Live executive producer Frank Valentini was one of the many people

honoured by the Heart Share Human Services of New York. The gala took place

during the 21st Annual Spring Gala and Auction at the Marriott Marquis Hotel.

Soap blocker, ABC chief Brian Frons showed up to support executive producer

Frank Valentini, as did most of the One Life cast. Check out the subtext in this

picture, featuring Frons, Valentini and "head writer" Ron Carlivati from the

event.

• My favourite One Life scene ever has finally been posted on YouTube! Here's a

well-deserved thank you and big kiss for welovesoaps.com's Roger Newcomb for

finding it. As a kid, I knew every single line to the unrivaled and hilarious

Emmy spoof, The Daisy Awards — and its infectious opening song, "Here's To The

Shows, Those Daytime Shows…" After re-viewing the Daisys, the lyrics to the

brilliant song came back to me. I immediately sent the clip to NATAS to show

them how an awards show is done right. I would kill for the Emmys to open up

with this number (as long as Susan Lucci doesn't sing it, that is). The Daisys

remain one of former executive producer Paul Rauch's most stellar moments from

his spectacular Llanview tenure. Also, watching Jessica Tuck's tour-de-force

deathbed performance (from the genius mind of former head scribe Michael Malone)

reminded me that one of the greatest acting achievements on soaps prompted a

decade-long hate-fest for Erika Slezak (Viki) because she "stole" the lead

actress Emmy right from underneath Tuck. Why? You see, Slezak was a supporting

actress that year, and unfairly submitted herself in the lead category, costing

the best One Life actress since Judith Light her Emmy gold. All is forgiven now,

though. Watch the entire clip — and thank me later. On a side note, wouldn't it

have been cooler had Gigi switched on Fraternity Row and caught her slutty

sister, Stacy acting as a lingerie model on the college soap?







• Perhaps the Pussycat Dolls, who will perform their hit single, the English

version of "Jai Ho" from Slumdog Millionaire on May 13, can teach lingerie model

Crystal "I've had no cosmetic surgery" Hunt how to strip and pole-dance

properly. "The Pussycat Dolls are unmatched in terms of their success as a girl

group," said Valentini in a statement. "We are thrilled to have them on One Life

to make [our] high-school prom a truly memorable event for the teens in

Llanview." If they are all released from the hospital, that is!



• Best casting news ever: On April 1, sexy daddy Doc Dougherty returns from his

spectacular debut as Jackie McNaughton this past fall to help Powell Lord, er, I

mean Todd Manning, along with one of Marty's other rapists, Zach (Josh Phillip

Weinstein), who is first seen on April 2.



—Speaking of Powell, when I recently asked head writer Ron Carlivati if the show

was trying to write out Trevor St. John (Todd), he said, "no way. I love

Trevor." Do I believe Carlivati? Of course, I do. But when I pressed the Emmy

winner if he would turn away Roger Howarth (Paul, ATWT) should the CBS actor

want to return and leave World Turns, RC teased, "we'd love to have Howarth

back."



Which got me to thinking: The only way to explain this Drake Hogestyn/Wayne

Northrop-inspired switcheroo would be if St. John's Todd isn't Walker Laurence,

but in fact Powell Lord, who has the real Todd caged up somewhere. Since Powell

is related to Viki, it would explain why he loves the Lord family so much, and

why St. John's "Todd" remembers gang-raping Marty. Hmmm… Personally, I wouldn't

welcome back Howarth. The Emmy winner made his bed and should lie in it. Also,

One Life doesn't need another actor trying to dictate what ends up on the

written page, which Howarth was infamous for doing. He's Goutman's problem now.



The Young and the Restless, Global/CBS — Exclusive: Which character is a friend

of Dorothy's?

• Who said the diehard Republican Bell family would never write in a major gay

character? Y&R chief Maria Arena Bell continues to amaze me. The future Emmy

winner will soon reveal that a current Genoa City citizen is —gasp! — a friend

of Dorothy's, report several sources. Guess who? Our lips are sealed…



• Change of plans: Thad Luckinbill (J.T) and Amelia Heinle (Victoria), and Lesli

Kay (Felicia, B&B) can now be seen as soap stars on that awful show, Ghost

Whisperer, airing on April 24.



• Canadian Y&R fans — get ready to gamble. Joyce Becker's soap-opera festival is

heading to Caesars Windsor Casino in Windsor, Ont., on May 9. Tickets are $10.

Scheduled to appear are: Sharon Case (Sharon), Christian LeBlanc (Michael),

Jeanne Cooper (Katherine), and B&B's Kyle Lowder (Rick-erella). Tickets are

available at the Box Office or at www.caesarswindsor.com through

www.ticketmaster.ca  or charge by phone 1-888-345-5885.



• Memo to Jeanne Cooper (Kay): No more makeup! You look a million times more

beautiful sans the colouring. Who out there agrees with me?



• In story news, Billy weds Chloe next week. And Mac appears in the shape of

Clementine Ford on April 1. Why didn't Y&R hire Eden Riegel instead? Oh right, I

know why. Two words: Barbara Bloom.



• Did you know that dynamic duo, executive producer Paul Rauch and Y&R

impresario Maria Bell worked together in the past on a project called Coming of

Age on NBC? Who knew?



• Welovesoaps.com's Roger Newcomb isn't the only Eric Braeden (Victor) fan out

there! Recently, Stephen Colbert opened his show, The Colbert Report, reading a

recent Soap Opera Digest issue featuring the Emmy winner and the lovely and

talented Eileen Davidson (Ashley). Check out the hilarious clip here. Colbert,

however, jokes about One Life's Stacy drama and not Y&R. Clearly, the funnyman

knows which two shows are the best in daytime.





SOAP OPERA MYSTERY HOUR: This week's hottest blind items

her head writer not told her they didn't care if the popular thespian stayed or

left?



—Which popular leading man irritates every single actor on his show? "No one

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







SOAP OPERA DIGEST INSIDER



March 26, 2009



Greetings From The Editor

Lynn Leahey



Dear Readers,

I knew Y&R had hit a grand slam when my sister Laurie, not a major soap

fan, e-mailed me to find out if Kay is Jill's mother. Her subject line

was: You HAVE To Tell Me!!! And she's not alone in her curiosity, which is

why I'm glad we've got the latest on that story in the new Digest. Turns

out there's a very good reason Kay's DNA doesn't match Jill's, and a

strange but logical explanation for her memory lapses. It's all in the

cover story.... In the news section, GH's Laura Wright discusses the aging

of her TV son, Michael. How does she feel about cute, little Dylan Cash

being replaced? "There's only so much you can play with a 13-year-old,"

the actress points out. "It's a whole different ballgame." See what else

she has to say about the situation in your new issue.





TALES FROM THE INTERVIEW



Stephanie Sloane: As the DAYS editor at Digest, I have had many

opportunities to interview Austin Peck (Brad, ATWT) over the years. Our

most recent chat, which appears in the next issue, took place over the

phone, while Peck was roadtripping to visit his mother in Maryland. Peck

is not a BS-er. He admitted from the get-go that he was going through a

rough time, though it didn't affect our conversation about life in Oakdale

one bit. He talked about his current story ("I don't know what it's like

wanting a child and not being able to have a child, because a father is

always something I wanted to be. And once children became a possibility,

it happened within a short amount of time.") to Katie ("Brad has kind of

made his whole world to be Katie, and to me I think they're an absolutely

perfect match.") to how seeing The Wrestler made him think of himself ("I

was like, 'Oh, my God, is that gonna be my life? "I was once on a soap

opera! You want my autograph?" Three people will show up; I'll make about

15 bucks. I'll live in the back of a van, recreating scenes from 1996, the

Sami/Carrie/Lucas/Austin storyline.") For more from Peck, check out Brad

Behavior on page 48 in the new issue.



Naomi Rabinowitz: Taylor Spreitler (Mia, DAYS) may be young, but when I

interviewed her she was as poised as any of the adults I've spoken with.

And no wonder -- she's been acting and modeling since she was 5 years old.

Still, there were some moments where the kid in her did come out, such as

when we were discussing her co-star, John Callahan (Dr. Baker; ex-Edmund,

AMC).



"I used to watch him when he was on AMC; his character was my favorite,"

she gushed. "So it was really weird to come to DAYS and then be working

with him. It was surreal. Now I'm more used to it, but at first I was

like, 'Oh my God, it's Edmund, I know you!' " Spreitler laughs. "But I

love working with him and Ari [Zucker, Nicole]. Sometimes they make me

laugh so much, it's difficult for me to get through my scenes!"



For more on Spreitler, check out the 4/7/09 issue.

CAMPAIGN TRAIL

You gotta love soap fans' creativity -- Digest regularly receives doodads

and goodies from readers who know how to make a statement.



VERA HADZI-ANTICH: The AMC Zendall crew is still at it! This week they

have a cute campaign: "Simple math: Kayne/Minshew + Zach/Kendall + Team

Slater = Happy Viewers!" Along with the mathematical postcards, they sent

in calculators. Thanks! These will help us crunch the numbers while tax

season finishes up.



GH's Johnny and Lulu fans sent in the top reasons they support Jolu. Some

of the postcards most have gotten lost in the mail, because I only

received numbers 2-7. If the missing numbers surface, I'll let you know.



For now, here are numbers 2-7:

2. He doesn't like to see her cry

3. He gave her his mother's necklace

4. He stopped to pick her up -- twice

5. She sees the good in him

6. He was there when she needed him

7. Because there's so much passion in every one of their kisses



Dueling DAYS campaigners are rooting for Chloe's pairing with two

different men. The Daniel and Chloe supporters claim, "Danloe is love."

Philip and Chloe fans write, "individually they may be flawed, but

together they are perfect."



The Nuke fans have, yet another, new campaign. This one is titled "The

Academy Of Daytime Drama Report Card." This is how Nuke fans grade ATWT:



Supercouple creation: A+

Giving Fans Their #1 Wish: C

Creativity: C

Airtime: D



Thanks for the creative campaigns!

I just love the Ethan and Lulu scenes on GH. I want to see more Ethan and

IN PERSON



I had the great good fortune to see some of my favorite ABC stars and

support a worthy cause when I attended the ABC Daytime Salutes Broadway

Cares/Equity Fights AIDS concert on March 9th. Not only was it a night of

amazing performances, but I also attended the post-show reception at the

Marriott Marquis where I renewed my acquaintance with Scott Clifton and

Anthony Geary. After a scant 3 1/2 hours sleep, I drove my mother into the

city for a meet and greet at the view studios where we had the pleasure of

meeting Mr. Geary, Brandon Barash and the incomparable Bradford Anderson.

A lot of money and not a lot of sleep, but worth every minute and cent!

1. There's nothing like relationship advice from an expert. When Kendall

2. AS THE WORLD TURNS' Carly is desperate for revenue at Metro, but she

couldn't show up for the LGBT rights benefit Luke and Lily held there?!



3. Call us prudes, but we think the camera was a little too close to BOLD

AND BEAUTIFUL's Rick and Steffy during their recent love scenes.



4. Talk about a "ring"-ing endorsement: When a mystery man carried ATWT's

Luke to Memorial and left a note on his chest, was there any doubt it was

Damian's hand?



5. GENERAL HOSPITAL's Spinelli and Sam want to start a P.I. firm? Oh,

been in and out of jail.







FOR YOUR EYES ONLY



--From News Editor Mala Bhattacharjee: Did anyone else wince when AS THE

WORLD TURNS' Luke got plowed over by the car and bounced off the hood this

week? Well, you weren't the only ones. So did actor Van Hansis. "That was

brutal," he gasped while we were chatting for a news interview last week.

"Because we usually shoot our location after we shoot what's happening in

the studios -- it's usually a couple of weeks later -- Luke was supposed

to get hit by a car, but nothing too bad. I was acting like Luke was hurt,

but not seriously hurt." When it came time to film the action sequence,

Hansis' stunt double took a harder hit than expected, going over the hood.

"It was weird, because we were all just sitting there watching a guy get

hit by a car," notes Hansis, adding, "Thank God he's all right. It looked

pretty intense. My hat is off to the stunt double, because he really took

a beating that time."





MAILBAG



--From Senior Writer/Editor Joe Diliberto: Who would know crazy better

than Crazy Train singer Ozzy Osbourne? Ozzy has a new unscripted series

called OSBOURNES: RELOADED, debuting March 31 in the coveted post-AMERICAN

IDOL slot at 9 p.m. It's a wacky show that gives superfans a chance to

meet the wizard of Ozz, and to promote a communal viewing experience. Fox

sent me a huge platter packed with cheddar goldfish, honey-roasted

peanuts, sour gummi bears and M&M's. It may not have been as healthy as

the fruit arrangement Mala got last week, but it got devoured by my

colleagues just as quickly!





WHY WE CLAPPED



Events in Gigi's life have been changing rapidly lately, and ONE LIFE TO

LIVE's Farah Fath reflected that by keeping Gigi's actions fast and

jittery. She bounced from shock and confusion over her finding Rex

cheating with her sister to nurturing mother of Shane to a vulnerable

woman wronged. When Gigi scolded her sister, Fath grew strong and

confident -- and we were confident she deserved Applause, Applause kudos

for Issue 14.



LISTENING STATION



--Tune into B&B on March 31, for a montage featuring an original song

called "Y.O.U." by B&B composer Jack Allocco and sung by musician Scott

Bennett. Avid soap music fans may remember that Bennett, who currently

tours with Beach Boy Brian Wilson, also did several songs for Y&R,

including J.T. and Colleen's song, "I Do."



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 Editor Michael Karol: Battlestar Fantastica: I've followed the

ragtag group of spaceships led by the mighty Galactica since the original

BATTLESTAR GALACTICA debuted in 1978. Perhaps I'm showing my age, but

things were a bit less complicated for Starbuck, et al 20 years ago. There

were humans looking for Earth, and there was an evil, reptilian race

called the Cylons who created clunky metallic robots (also called Cylons)

to kill the humans. And that was pretty much it. The newer version had a

few more, er, complications for our human counterparts, i.e., humanoid

Cylons capable of infinite replication and apparently varied loyalties.

But most of the Cylon leaders still wanted to kill off the humans, and had

been involved in various battles for dominance on different planets and in

space. The finale erased all my doubts about where the series was headed,

and ended with real closure for the patient fan. There were those who

complained the religious nature of the solution to several major plot

threads was too literally "deus ex machina." For example: Was Kara an

angel, and is that why she disappeared at the end?" Ditto Baltar and his

Virtual Six -- the ones "imagined" by the real Baltar and Six? Was God

thus ultimately responsible for leading the humans to our Earth and

planting young Hera there 150,000 years ago as the mother of all humans?

Question for those people: Did you conveniently forget that religious

themes and motifs have been prominent in both Galactica series, especially

the second one, since their inceptions? The finale addressed everything

I'd been waiting for all season, especially the reveal that Tory had

killed the Chief's beloved wife, Cally, which I'd been bugging my fellow

editors about. Not only was it revealed, it turned out to be the linchpin

on which the finale's plot hinged. Frakking fantastic!



--The fiercest reality show out there at the moment is not AMERICAN IDOL,

THE AMAZING RACE or THE BIGGEST LOSER; it's RUPAUL'S DRAG RACE. What could

be fiercer than nine drag queens competing on the same stage (and in the

same dressing room!) to be "America's next drag superstar"? Since I asked,

the entire party is presided over by Drag Queen Mother RuPaul. Happy? I

was. From start to finish, the show provided laughter, tears, bitchiness

and drama galore; scandal, surprises, and, perhaps most surprising of all,

a whole lotta touching moments. There were two that stood out, and both

had to do with an issue that is still slamming the gay (and nongay)

communities worldwide, but one that receives little press anymore:

HIV/AIDS. One of the contestants, Ongina, revealed after winning the

weekly contest (which meant he was free from elimination the following

week) that he'd been living with HIV for the past two years, and broke

down. There wasn't a dry eye in the house, just as there wasn't when

another queen, Bebe, talked about the devastation AIDS has wrought on his

home country of Cameroon, and that he hoped, if he was the winner, to help

improve the horrible situation. Bebe did win. And throughout, RuPaul, in

drag and out, proved that the ethic expressed in his first hit single,

"Supermodel" ("You better work!"), was not just a phrase. He worked the

show, he brought in guest judges like Bob Mackie and special guests like

Charo and Tori Spelling, and he was father/mother/sister/brother/confessor

to all nine contestants. RuPaul and company put the real back in reality.

Rumors are that Logo will renew DRAG RACE for a second season. I've got my

acrylic nails crossed. In the meantime: You go, girls!





THE WE IN WEEKLY



--From News Editor Mala Bhattacharjee: When it comes to GUIDING LIGHT, I'm

a pretty staunch "Otalia" supporter. And, in the past, while I liked Josh

and Olivia, my favorite non-Reva pairing for him was probably crazy Annie

Dutton. So color me incredibly surprised by Josh and Olivia's

tension-laden interlude at Towers. Um...wow. Way to get all husky-voiced

and flirty. I will never quite look at a cocktail olive the same way.





--From Managing Editor Gabrielle Winkel: I do love THE BOLD AND THE

BEAUTIFUL. From the music to the dialogue to the kissing, it's all very

daytime drama-ish. And then there's Stephanie -- she can put someone down

in three words and she loves doing it. And, as the ONE LIFE TO LIVE

editor, I am glad there are no sick children on the show. (P.S. from Mala,

the B&B editor: That's because there are no children on my show. Jack,

Hope, RJ, where aaaaare you?)





--From West Coast Editor Janet Di Lauro: Just when there seemed to be hope

for DAYS OF OUR LIVES' Kate -- she gave up butting into her kids' love

lives and decided to let them be -- she's back in meddling mom mode.

Granted, learning Chloe, Lucas' fiance, and Daniel, her ex-lover, were

having a fling, would be enough to send anybody over the edge. But it's

propelled Kate to new dastardly heights. Watching her scheme and plot to

get even with the twosome and expose their affair has been intriguing.

Let's just hope Lucas isn't destroyed when the truth finally comes out.

GL Canceled!

Soap Opera Digest has learned that the cast and crew of GUIDING LIGHT were

notified today that yes, the 72-year-old show has been canceled and will turn

out the light on Sept. 18. "Being on the air for more than seven decades is

truly remarkable, and it will be difficult for all of us at the show to say

goodbye," said Executive Producer Ellen Wheeler in a statement. "I'm proud of

everything we've been able to do, including outstanding storytelling, our

community service around the country with Find Your Light and the launch of our

new production model. This show has such a rich history, wonderful fans, and I'm

honored to have been a part of the GL legacy."



Adds GH Executive Producer Jill Farren Phelps, who helmed GL from 1991-95:

"GUIDING LIGHT has a very special place in my heart. I began my career in

daytime there as a production assistant and later returned as executive

producer. It was a privilege (both times) to be a part of such a fabulous group

of people who did such outstanding work. Some of the most talented actors,

writers and directors have walked through the doors of GUIDING LIGHT. The

industry will mourn the loss of this beloved show, but GUIDING LIGHT leaves a

rich legacy for all of us in daytime to treasure. I wish all my dear friends a

gentle landing."





Nia Peeples Off Y&R!

Soap Opera Digest has learned that Nia Peeples, who plays Karen Winters, has

been axed. The actress originated the role in April 2007 but was let go by May

2008, then brought back last July. A last airdate has not been announced.



Y&R: Jill Update

Soap Opera Weekly has learned that Jess Walton has re-signed and will remain as

YOUNG AND RESTLESS's Jill.



On Friday, soapoperadigest.com broke the news that Y&R put out an emergency

casting call for the role of Jill, played by Jess Walton. At the time, we heard

she was sick and thought it could be a temporary recast, but now we're hearing

it's actually a contract dispute and Walton is holding her ground against the

show she's been on since 1988. Check back for more details.



ATWT Awarded!

It was a great weekend for Oakdale residents as AS THE WORLD TURNS' Van Hansis

(Luke) and Jake Silbermann (Noah) accepted a GLAAD Media Award for ATWT in the

Outstanding Daily Drama category and Mick Hazen (Parker) took home a Young

Artist Award for Best Performance in a TV Series-Recurring Young Actor.

ATWT PreVUE: Week of April 6 Edition

Sunday, April 5, 2009 7:41 PM ET | By Venus Stone



(SoapOperaNetwork.com) -- Sober up...



THIS WEEK ON: AS THE WORLD TURNS



Luke won't give up until he finds out what Damien is up to. Damien on the other

hand catches Lily up to something, Thursday, April 9. Lucy finds another way to

give Dusty what he wants. Luke and Noah's new friends pull a cruel prank at

Damien's expense.



The Inside Story: Bottoms Up

Janet, wanting to get a break from all the troubles that have been bothering

them, suggests Jack and she go to Metro. Jack, not wanting to deal with anything

associated with Carly hesitates. Across town Carly is getting ready for her date

with Craig but gets cold feet when Sage expresses how she wishes she would just

stay home with her. When Craig arrives Carly tells him that she thinks they

should call the date off but Craig insists they go out and takes her to Yo's.

When they arrive they run iinto Jack and Janet. Janet quickly offers the olive

branch by buying drinks to thank Craig for all his help with Liberty and Parker,

which peeves Jack. While together Jack realizes that Carly is drunk but Craig

comes to her rescue. After their night with Jack and Janet, Craig takes Carly

back home where he and she have more drinks together and later make love. Back

at the farmhouse Janet expresses her concerns about Carly's drinking. In the

meantime, Parker is upset that Liberty won't return home to him and takes his

frustrations out on Carly. Craig advises Parker to be there for Liberty if he

really loves her. Liberty on the other hand is sharing her doubts about marrying

Parker with Jack and Janet. The two parents insist that she tells Parker how she

feels but when she does go to talk to him, Parker tells her how sorry he is for

hurting her. Craig, wanting to continue to look good in the eyes of the kids and

in Carly's, decides to give Liberty a chance at an internship in New York. When

Craig shares the news Liberty is instantly excited but Parker doesn't like the

idea at all. Wanting his plan to work, Craig goes to Janet and tells her about

the internship and asks if he can have her permission to give Liberty the

opportunity. While Jack is surprisingly agreeing to the internship, Janet on the

other hand isn't ready for her daughter to leave Oakdale. Liberty sonn receives

a call saying they want her to start the internship the following day. Craig and

Carly agree to take her since they have business to do in New York as well.

Parker is upset that he is unable to go but Craig and Carly convince him that

since it's only for one night Liberty going without him will be fine. Meanwhile

A Closer Look: Bad Influence

When Luke and Noah learn that the account for the foundation has been frozen

Luke immediately points the finger at Damien, accusing him of starting drama to

get his attention. Noah, however, isn't sure that he is the one that did it.

When they inform Lily about the matter, she goes over to confront Damien at the

hospital but finds that he isn't in his room. When Lily doesn't get back in

contact with Luke he worries about where she could be. He soon finds the two of

them together in his hotel room. Lily quickly explains that a stitch from his

wound came loose and she was helping him, but Luke is still leery of his father.

Back at the office, Noah is trying his best to find out where the funds might

have gone. Zac soon arrives offering his help but when the computer crashes he

stuns Noah by giving him a spontaneous kiss. Pushing him away Noah asks why he

did that. Zac quickly apologizes and leaves before Luke arrives. Once alone,

Noah tells Luke what has happened and Luke gets upset. He soon calms down and

realizes that Noah isn't going to let anyone come in between them. As the two

are talking Luke lets Noah know that he just doesn't trust his father and wants

to make sure his mother doesn't fall for his lies. Meanwhile Zac and Zoe learn

that Damien is Luke's father and begin to badmouth him.

much to bear as she helps Natalia pick out a wedding dress for her wedding to

Frank. Beth calls Olivia to inform her that she's holding a family dinner and

she's invited. Natalia offers to go to the dinner with Olivia and Emma. Olivia

declines Natalia's offer explaining that Emma needs to get use to not having her

finds Natalia crying. Emma thinks Natalia isn't really happy about marrying

Frank because her real family is with her and Olivia. Christina confides in

Ashlee about the problems she's been having with Remy. Remy's family surprises

him with a birthday party. Mel thinks she can make things better for Remy and

Christina so she gives Christina a gift to give Remy. Remy's smile turns upside

down when he gets a special delivery from Christina: divorce papers! Later, Mel

arranges for Remy and Christina to meet in front of a judge and they sign the

divorce papers. Shayne tells Edmund he's the reason why Lara is dead. Edmund

breaks into Shayne's room and smashes the music box. Shayne seems calm about the

broken music box but Edmund is privately shaken. After Edmund leaves, Dinah and

Shayne make love again. At the hospital, Jeffrey is shocked when the doctor

tells him baby Colin is ready to be released. Shock turns to sadness as it hits

Jeffrey that he and Colin will be separated from Reva. Reva blows Jeffrey and

Colin a goodbye kiss. Reva is overjoyed when she learns that Jeffrey has set up

a web cam so she can watch him and baby Colin whenever she wants.



The Inside Story: Spaulding Family Matters



Bill and Lizzie continue to pretend they've only just met. Lizzie explains to

Bill that it's the universal rule to wait until after the third date before

having sex - but informs him that he'll be waiting until after their tenth date.

Bill is confident that he can get Lizzie to break the rules.



Daisy finds herself in quite an awkward position with a "new" Spaulding, James,

(SoapOperaNetwork.com) -- So this is good-bye...



THIS WEEK ON: THE YOUNG AND THE RESTLESS



Kevin and Amber get into more trouble when the cuffs go on them Wednesday, April

8. Karen may have some decisions to make regarding her marriage when she learns

more about what's been going on between Neil and Tyra, Thursday, April 9.



The Inside Story: Walking Out

After his heated confrontation with Phyllis, Nick finds himself at Sharon's

suite at the G.C.A.C. When she opens the door she breaks down in his arms but

soon pulls herself together and requests that he goes away. Nick refuses,

telling her he's staying right where he is. Sharon soon tells him that if he

wants to really help her he can do whatever he can to keep Phyllis away from

her. In the meantime, Phyllis, unable to accept Nick's constant concern for his

ex, dons a disguise to snoop. Nick's coming out of Sharon's suite when he spots

Phyllis lurking about ready for another showdown with Sharon. Phyllis becomes

upset and tells Nick that everytime Sharon calls he's right there and she wants

it to stop. Nick, fed up with Phyllis's accusations whisks her back to their

house where they have it out. Things go from bad to worse, however, when Phyllis

trashes Sharon's character, which causes Nick to pack his bags. Upset with his

decision to walk away, Phyllis questions if their whole marriage to one another

was a lie but Nick's silence speaks volumes. Meanwhile, Jack wants another

chance with Sharon but she tells him that there is no new start for them since

she's signed off on the divorce papers. A saddened Jack heads back downstairs to

the bar and spots Nick. Jack expresses his concerns by telling Nick that if he

cares for both Sharon and Phyllis, he'll need to decide on doing the right thing

by both of them. Later that evening, Sharon's upset that Noah has missed his

curfew and instantly heads over to find Nick at the tack house. When she arrives

though she is met by Phyllis who lets her know that Nick has moved out of the

house. Phyllis continues by telling Sharon that the more she runs to Nick for

help the more she's damaging their marriage and pulling him away from his

family. Their conversation is interrupted when Noah shows up and before Sharon

can talk to him about his curfew, he lashes out that he's not interested in

another discussion. After Sharon has left, Nick returns home with hopes of

possibly working things out.



A Closer Look: More Than He Can Handle

Billy can't bellieve his eyes when he comes face-to-face with Mac at his wedding

to Chloe. Things instantly get tense when Katherine, emerging from her fight

with Jill, tells everyone that the DNA results have come in. She explains that

while Brock is definitely her son, Jill on the other hand is not her daughter.

The news sends everyone in a tailspin, including Mac and Billy, who both realize

that this news shows that they are not related after all. Sensing how

uncomfortable Chloe is about Mac's arrival, Esther tells her about Billy's

relationship with her. Billy later pays Mac a visit and Chloe seeing the two of

them together, is not pleased. After he and Mac have parted ways, Billy passes

his phone number along to Brock to give to her, unaware that Mac has decided to

stay in town.

Nick Walks Out on Phyllis!(SOD)



This week, Phyllis is on the warpath and the drama comes to a head between her

and Nick because he can't stay away from his ex-wife, Sharon. "Everything was

going really well for Phyllis and Nick," points out Michelle Stafford. "It

wasn't like they were having all these problems so he had an affair. The only

problem was this ex-wife who was constantly in Phyllis's eyes, sniffing around

and throwing herself at Nick. So Phyllis sees Sharon as the problem. Sharon is

always manipulating Nick to be close to her and Phyllis gets that. She can't

believe that everything is falling apart because of this one woman."



Nick checks up on Sharon at the hotel suite when she has an emotional breakdown

and she ends up crying in his arms. "Sharon's true love has always been Nick,"

says Sharon Case. "But she's still angry with him for getting back together with

Phyllis after the cabin incident. Sharon got her hopes up when she and Nick

slept together and she pretty much assumed that things would start moving in

their direction, where she and Nick could get back together. So when he went

back to Phyllis, that was a real slap in the face to Sharon because it was the

second time that he chose Phyllis over her. So Sharon hasn't been doing well

about that ever since."



Eventually, Sharon finds a little strength and asks Nick to leave her room. Not

surprisingly, he refuses. "He sees that Sharon is really going through something

and wants to help," explains Joshua Morrow. "Now the problem is that Nick being

around her is just making the situation worse. He really wants to help, but he's

the problem."



When Nick asks Sharon if there's anything he can do for her, she blurts out that

he can help her by "keeping that woman (Phyllis) away." Nick is frustrated,

because he's been trying to do that already. He's asked Phyllis numerous times

to leave Sharon alone.



Phyllis shows up at the GCAC wearing a hat and sunglasses to disguise herself.

When Nick leaves Sharon's room, he sees Phyllis immediately. "Phyllis is on her

way to confront Sharon, and Nick is not going to allow that to happen," explains

Morrow. "Nick stops Phyllis and she fights him a little, so he forcibly guides

her away." In other words, he drags her out of the building.



When they get home, Nick and Phyllis continue to battle it out. "Now it's not

really a standoff over Sharon," explains Stafford. "It's Phyllis realizing, 'Oh

my God, he refuses to stay away from her, so this is a real serious thing.'

Phyllis is completely devastated and she's not questioning if her marriage was

just a lie." Says Morrow: "Nick just can't seem to get Sharon out of his system.

He's tearing Sharon apart and Phyllis wants him to fully commit to their

marriage, which means staying away from Sharon, and he just can't do it."



More angry than ever, Phyllis hits below the belt. "She says that Sharon is a

slut, a manipulator and a thief and she's not the woman that he thinks she is,"

Stafford sighs. Nick says, "I know who Sharon is, but I'm beginning to wonder

who you are." Ouch!



That's when Nick packs his clothes and gets ready to leave. "He's had it!" says

Morrow. "They're not able to talk reasonably and he thinks things will just

escalate to a level they can't come back from. So he just wants to leave so they

can cool off." This doesn't make Phyllis happy. She tells him, "I want you to

tell me that you were always in love with Sharon and our whole marriage was a

lie. I want you to tell me that!" Nick remains quiet and it drives Phyllis

crazy. She tells him to get out of the house and he walks out on her.



Across town, Jack runs into Sharon and requests that she give their marriage

another shot. She responds by whipping out their divorce papers, which she's

just signed. Says Case, "Nothing is going in any clear direction for her right

now. The one thing she can do that makes sense is to just go ahead with the

divorce. She has alot of issues to deal with right now."



Feeling rejected, Jack runs into Nick at the GCAC bar. "Everyone goes there for

a cocktail when they've got a problem," quips Morrow. They begin talking, and

Jack tells Nick that both Sharon and Phyllis are going to continue hurting until

he finally makes a decision: does he want his ex-wife or his current wife?

Jack's advice leaves a strong impression with Nick.



Meanwhile, Noah has missed his curfew and refuses to answer his mother's calls,

so Sharon heads over to Nick's place in search of her son. She encounters

Phyllis, who tells her that Nick has moved out. "Believe it or not, Phyllis

doesn't yell at her," says Stafford. "Instead she does a little gaslighting. She

says to Sharon, 'You constantly being in my husband's life is confusing him. If

you tear our family apart, it will end up devastating Nick and you're the one

who did it.' Please indicate these are Phyllis's thoughts and that Michelle

doesn't care before the fans go crazy because they think I feel this way. So

this is Phyllis's opinion that Sharon is manipulating the situation." (LoL!)

Afterwards, Phyllis tells Sharon to seek some help and Sharon insists that she's

just fine.



Noah comes home and Sharon isn't happy with him. When he argues that he's not in

the mood for another boring lecture, Sharon is stunned by her son's hateful

tone. She starts talking about the regrets of young love and Noah realizes that

his mother is actually reminiscing about her relationship with Nick. Once Noah

heads to bed, Sharon leaves.



Once Sharon makes her exit, Phyllis gets another surprising visit -- this time

from Nick. Phyllis is happy to see her husband, but she's so tired of the

situation that she decides not to push the subject of Sharon. Phyllis is tired

of the situation and just says, 'You're back,' but she doesn't ask him if he's

home for good.



Things go from bad to worse for Phyllis and Nick's marriage when another issue

with Noah arises later in the week that requires both of his parents attention.

Says Morrow: "It's terrible for all parties involved."

OWEN KISSES BRIDGET - AND JACKIE!



Owen's pucker power gets a work out this week after he's hired by Jackie to

handle the legal aspects of Jackie M. "They have already been flirting with each

other, so there's definitely an attraction going on," concedes Brandon Beemer.

"Jackie is a beautiful and fascinating woman. She's different from anybody he's

ever met. She's classy and not needy, so when she's interested in Owen, that

makes him scratch his head and go, 'Wait a second. Is this really happening?'"



But Owen's first order of business is questioning Jackie about Nick's

controversial decision to hire Stephanie, who was recently fired from Forrester

Creations. "Owen is a little leery about what her true intentions are, but

Jackie assures that Stephanie is on board to do some good work," Beemer

explains. "Then Owen finds out that Stephanie has something up her sleeve to

benefit Jackie M, so he can relax. She's definitely doing things that will help

Jackie M."



Owen then meets with Bridget so they can strategize on how to market her new

line. They interact playfully, which Owen eats up. "She makes Owen weak,"

chuckles Beemer. "He really cares about her and thinks she's a great catch, but

after everything she's gone through with Nick, she makes it very clear to Owen

that she's not ready for another relationship. He makes it clear that he wants

to get to know her better by dating her, but she says that's not what she

wants."



Still, Owen makes a move. He plants a kiss on her," says Beemer. "She admits

that she is attracted to him, but knows that it's not going anywhere between

them because they work together."



Next, Owen meets Jackie at her new residence. "It's a hip loft," says Beemer.

"Times are tough, so she needs to downsize her home. He makes her feel good

about moving into something that's a little less than what she's used to."



Jackie shares about Stephanie's latest favor for Jackie M and that a new

investor is interested in the company based on Bridget's upcoming collection.

Jackie and Owen get carried away by the excitement over a brighter future for

her company. "Then Jackie gives Owen a promotion to chief of staff," smiles

Beemer. "He decides to thank her with a nice kiss."

"Stephanie feels like she's hit rock bottom in her life. She's someone at a

crossroads. She's found herself at a place she never thought she'd find

herself," explains Bradley Bell. "She's out of her home, she's out of her

company, and she's really lost and alone in the world. That's when her dear

friend Taylor comes to her aid. They've had their ups and downs, but Taylor and

Stephanie have been allies and admirers of one another since they first met.

Very often in soaps, you hear, 'Why doesn't anyone have friends?' These are

great friends and it's a friendship that's going to get more intense and

beautiful as time goes on."



Intense is how it gets when Stephanie learns that Nick is the one that suggested

that Taylor take her in, and that Nick has plans for her, as well - at Jackie M.

"Nick is an unlikely guy who has come to Stephanie's aid at this time. He sees

someone who he knows has so much strength and fortitude. To see her down and

vulnerable...he reaches out to her," notes Bell.



Not that Stephanie is instantly receptive. "At first, Stephanie doesn't want any

help, especially from Nick," asserts Bell. "She thinks she's being used.

Stephanie always has her guard up; she's very cautious. But when she sees Nick

is sincere, she goes along with it. I think it's just that she's been Mrs. Eric

Forrester for so long, Stephanie is finding her individuality as Stephanie the

woman - an independent woman who can do things. Although it seems like the last

thing in the world she would do - leave Forrester and start up with the

competition - it's a job offer and her life has to go on."



But can she take such an offer, especially knowing what it might do to Eric?

"Eric always had Stephanie. If Eric was with someone else and they were apart,

they were always friends. This marks a new chapter in their relationship where

Stephanie doesn't want to be his friend," teases Bell. "Stephanie's mad at him.

Stephanie, who has always supported him, even when he hasn't been there for her.

Now she's looking out for herself."



So look out, Forrester Creations!

RUMOR REPORT: Is P&G Shopping Guiding Light and As The World Turns as a Package

Deal?



Don't stand up and cheer about As The World Turns reportedly being offered a

one-year pick up from CBS. We're hearing from several sources The Tiffany

Network has already informed producers of the soap opera this pick up would be

the last for the sudser, which today celebrates its 53rd anniversary on the air.



"The people at World Turns were told they won't be picked up again after the

one-year renewal," says one source.



Another insider, the same one who informed Daytime Confidential's Mel months

back that Guiding Light would be cancelled if it didn't achieve and sustain a

1.8 household rating by April—as we all know the sudser was cancelled on April

1—is saying P&G has been in fact pitching their serials as a package deal to

other networks and cablers.



"P&G was recently in talks with SOAPnet about picking up both soap operas, but

the deal fell through about a month ago," reveals the mole.



According to an ABC mole, P&G is gearing up to pitch Brian Frons once again.

OWEN KISSES BRIDGET - AND JACKIE!



Owen's pucker power gets a work out this week after he's hired by Jackie to

handle the legal aspects of Jackie M. "They have already been flirting with each

other, so there's definitely an attraction going on," concedes Brandon Beemer.

"Jackie is a beautiful and fascinating woman. She's different from anybody he's

ever met. She's classy and not needy, so when she's interested in Owen, that

makes him scratch his head and go, 'Wait a second. Is this really happening?'"



But Owen's first order of business is questioning Jackie about Nick's

controversial decision to hire Stephanie, who was recently fired from Forrester

Creations. "Owen is a little leery about what her true intentions are, but

Jackie assures that Stephanie is on board to do some good work," Beemer

explains. "Then Owen finds out that Stephanie has something up her sleeve to

benefit Jackie M, so he can relax. She's definitely doing things that will help

Jackie M."



Owen then meets with Bridget so they can strategize on how to market her new

line. They interact playfully, which Owen eats up. "She makes Owen weak,"

chuckles Beemer. "He really cares about her and thinks she's a great catch, but

after everything she's gone through with Nick, she makes it very clear to Owen

that she's not ready for another relationship. He makes it clear that he wants

to get to know her better by dating her, but she says that's not what she

wants."



Still, Owen makes a move. He plants a kiss on her," says Beemer. "She admits

that she is attracted to him, but knows that it's not going anywhere between

them because they work together."



Next, Owen meets Jackie at her new residence. "It's a hip loft," says Beemer.

"Times are tough, so she needs to downsize her home. He makes her feel good

about moving into something that's a little less than what she's used to."



Jackie shares about Stephanie's latest favor for Jackie M and that a new

investor is interested in the company based on Bridget's upcoming collection.

Jackie and Owen get carried away by the excitement over a brighter future for

her company. "Then Jackie gives Owen a promotion to chief of staff," smiles

Beemer. "He decides to thank her with a nice kiss."

As the 'Light' dims, Reva gives birth

« Thread Started Yesterday at 12:32pm » [Quote]

From: NY Daily News



"Guiding Light's" cancellation this week after 72 years on radio and television

hit fans hard, but it hit the actors harder.



"I'm in mourning," says Kim Zimmer, who joined the soap as fiery Reva Shayne in

1983. "It's different when an actor chooses to leave, because the comfort is in

knowing that that show will always be there. But this is it for our little

family as we know it and love it."



The news comes just as Zimmer's story line is heating up - the cancer-stricken

Reva, who is in her 50s, gave birth yesterday.



"I'm the oldest woman to give birth on a soap opera while being treated with

chemo and radiation for leukemia during menopause," says Zimmer. "But hey, it's

Reva Shayne."



All of Springfield gathers in Reva's hospital room today, including her

ex-husband, Josh, to ooh and ah over the miracle baby and wish Reva well with

her treatment.



"Everyone is talking about how sick she is, but my dialogue doesn't refer to

that," says Zimmer. "I say things like, 'I'm not going to die. I beat this once,

and I can beat it again.' I was hoping I'd take off this pregnancy pad and I'd

be 40 pounds lighter, but that didn't happen."



Actually, Reva looks pretty good for a woman battling cancer.



"I'm tan because I was in Florida, so my joke was that I'm tan from the

radiation," says Zimmer.



The truth is that "GL" was hedging their bets with Reva's cancer story line

because Zimmer had made it clear she was not keen on taking a big pay cut when

her contract expires in a few months.



"If I didn't re-sign, there was always the chance for a dreadful recurrence,"

she says.



That's moot now.



"It's been a great ride," says Zimmer. "I would like to thank all our fans who

have hung in there with us, and I pray we will deliver to you classic 'Guiding

Light' right up to the end" on Sept. 18.





SoapNet Sneak Peeks for wk of 4/6

We're still in shock from this week's announcement of "Guiding Light"'s

cancellation. You also had a lot to say about it on our message boards. But the

show doesn't go away until September 18th -- so until then, we're tossing our

sadness aside and looking forward to next week's episodes ...



Is Phillip going to the slammer? Looks like that judgment is coming down next

week -- and it doesn't look good. He's found guilty! How's he going to handle

prison life? It's not like you can just toss your cellmate over a cliff.

Especially if he's bigger and has more tats.



Meanwhile, Edmund is a quietly simmering A-bomb of rage when it comes to

Shayne's involvement with Lara's death. You see, Shayne tells Edmund the role he

(Shayne) played in the demise of Edmund's daughter. Is Edmund just a sleeper

cell of anger? Is he going to explode? Given Edmund's track record (trying to

kill Reva and half the town, drugging Dinah, kidnapping Beth, jailing Holly for

giving him bad press ..), we think Shayne should probably watch his back and

keep his eyes open.



Reva will only be able to enjoy motherhood for one brief, shining moment before

Jeffrey takes baby Colin home. At least they're going to set up a web cam so

Reva can watch her new tot from the comfort of her hospital bed. And that may be

a good way for Reva to take her mind off the cancer treatment she's about to

begin.



Springfield gets a new addition in the form of James Spaulding, Beth and

Phillip's rapidly aged son. He's played by newcomer Zack Conroy. Look for

flirtation to strike up with Daisy, daughter of his daddy's ex Harley.



When the cast of "Guiding Light" was at Universal Studios Orlando a few weekends

ago, they celebrated Mardi Gras by donning flamboyant costumes, tossed beads

a-plenty, and had a pretty great time! Check out our slideshow and tell us if

you don't think they should where those wacky costumes all the time.

After a week of revelations and shocking returns, there's a lot to sort out on

"The Young and the Restless." Find out what's up next for Genoa City:



Nick and Phyllis are still fighting about Sharon, so he walks out. Well, that's

one way to end an argument. Do you think he should reunite with Sharon? Or are

you Nick and Phyllis fans? Sound off below!



Victor has had it with Jack using Colleen (and really with Jack just being

Jack). He moves his Mary Jane plan into phase 2 -- and everything goes off

without a hitch (so rare in soaps, no?). And thus, he sits in a wing-backed

chair, places his hands together, and in his best Mr. Burns, utters "Excellent

... ." In our minds.



Elsewhere, Billy is understandably all aflutter about Mac's inconveniently timed

return. He's married to Chloe, but he still wants Mac to stay. Can he win her

over?



Amber and Kevin, or "bizarro bummer Bonnie and Clyde" as we like to call them,

are arrested, putting an end to the chipmunk-related nightmare that's been

plaguing the Genoans (not a real word) for weeks.



And Karen's life plans take a serious turn when she discovers Neil loves Tyra.

Hmm ... sounds like a good way to send her packing ...



What do you think will happen with Billy, Chloe, and Mac?

« Thread Started on Apr 2, 2009, 5:21pm » [Quote]

Hey kids, big developments are headed to The Young and the Restless.



Kevin/Amber

Amber is finally able to have Kevin get a grip on things. Unfortunately for him,

Jeff comes in with with the bounty hunter and Kevin thinks that Jeff's his dear

ole' departed dad Tom and attacks him. Just when this occurs, Michael, Jana and

Daniel are on the scene where Michael thinks that Jeff pretending to be Tom can

be helpful for Kevin. Jeff agrees to play the part and Kevin explodes on him

thinking he's Tom. It starts to work when the police show up and arrest Kevin

and Amber.



Katherine/Jill

The women lash out at each other. Later, Jill says she's moving out of the

Chancellor estate. Kay propositions Jack with a job.



Jack

He informs Sharon that he doesn't want to sign off on the divorce.



Sharon

She gets arrested! Once she's sprang from jail she confides in Nick.



Phyllis/Nick/Sharon

Nick decides to swing by the athletic club to make sure Sharon's OK where she

has an emotional breakdown. Nick comforts her and asks if there's anything he

can do to help her and she tell him to have Phyllis back off and away from her.

Nick is thrown through a loop because he didn't know that Phyllis was harassing

Sharon. While this is taking place, big red (Phyllis) happens to be spying at

the club trying to find out what is going on between Nick and Sharon. When he

leaves, Nick spots Phyllis and is pissed with her. When the couple return to

their house, they have a huge argument where Phyllis trashes Sharon. Phyllis

tries to fill Nick in on Sharon's relationship with Billy but he doesn't believe

her and lets Phyllis know that he needs to take some time away from her and

moves out. After this takes place, Sharon goes by the tack house to find Noah

because he never returned home. Phyllis lets Sharon know that Nick has moved

out, instead of lashing out at her Phyllis decides to mess with Sharon's mind by

telling her she needs to get some help and that her actions are having an effect

on Nick's behavior.



Meanwhile at the GCAC, Nick bumps into Jack who lets him know that Nick's

actions are causing more harm than he realizes because he's not choosing which

one he wants to be with. Jack's words make an impression with Nick and the next

day he turns back hoe to Phyllis. Phyllis is so glad he's back that she doesn't

mention Sharon and when the two are trying to piece their marriage together

again, a situation arises with Noah that has Nick and Sharon getting close.

Sharon better watch her back though because Phyllis plots to crush her.



Billy/Mac

Ex-wife Mac is in town because she hears that her beloved grandma is back from

the dead. Mac doesn't know that Billy's getting hitched and the former lovers

come face to face with each other and are blown away. Due to the DNA test that

Brock took with Katherine, it becomes proof positive that Jill isn't her

daughter and Billy and Mac are not related. With Mac being back in town, Billy

starts to have doubts marrying Chloe and Jack tears into Billy and tells him not

to screw up his new life with Chloe and Delia. Jack lets him know that Mac may

not harbor the same feelings he has for her. Later on after he and Chloe have

hit the sheets, he heads over to the Chancellor estate to see Mac. Mac puts

Billy on notice- she's going back to Darfur and doesn't carry the same feelings

she had for him in the past.



While this is happening, Chloe wakes up and sees that Billy's gone and heads out

to the Chancellor's with Delia. The new Abbott family return home but Billy

sneaks out yet again and heads back to visit Mac.This time Brock blocks him on

seeing her. When speaking with Esther, Chloe gets the back story on Billy and

Mac's relationship. Chloe tries to get the info from Billy himself about Mac and

he shuts her down. At week's end, Mac lets Kay and Brock know that she's going

to stay in town for good. Viewers should realize if they haven't already that

Mac has and always will be the love of Billy's life and due to them thinking

they were related he never got over it and is the reason why he's a playboy.



May Sweeps

Can't talk about it, at least not yet. Trust me I would if I could, I made a

deal with the devil not to speak about it and I ain't about to pay that sucker

with my soul! All I can say is this, sweeps will be so hot so bad butt that

you'll be speaking about this for years to come! Y&R's not joking when it comes

to keeping the genre alive with what's going down in May.

What a week the show has in store for us!



Genoa City will be seeing the likes of Brock April 1, when Kay and Brock

reunite, and Jill meets with Brock, who has advice for his …sibling? He brings

along Mackenzie, who has a new look that nobody will recognize, of course,

because this time around, Mac's a recast.



Billy gets a tempting offer… is it Sharon on a bed of lettuce? We think so, and

we think he'll go through with having sex with her, before he marries Chloe. I

hope Chloe wasn't expecting Billy to be anyone but himself, otherwise she'd be

crushed at this piece of news. Will she find out? Will anyone? Not before Sharon

agrees to become Chloe's maid of honor! Yes you read right! (I hope you didn't

choke on your tea!)



Amber tries hard to bring poor Kevin back to reality. It's enough that he's shot

and losing it because of that, but will she be able to bring him out of his

personal hell?



Katherine and Jill have a heated confrontation, leading to a cake fight at the

wedding, the next day. Billy and Chloe's wedding is filled not with blessings

and love, but outrageous goings on that you simply have to see for yourself!



Sharon is threatened this week…will this lead up to another confrontation

between Nick and Phyllis? We know that next week brings a huge change between

the duo, but does that mean anything to Sharon? Isn't she into Billy? And who

could blame her!

SOW - A Closer Look: Kevin

« Thread Started on Apr 1, 2009, 2:39pm » [Quote]

It's the end of the line for Kevin and Amber this week, when they're tracked

down by the cops and arrested. Greg Rikaart elaborates on what it all means for

his mentally fractured alter ego.



WEEKLY: Just as Amber calms Kevin down and gets him to agree to go home, Jeff

enters the boxcar. How does seeing Jeff affect Kevin?



RIKAART: Considering Kevin's fragile mental state, he mistakes Jeff for Tom. It

kind of sends him back into a tailspin. Any progress that Amber was beginning to

make is undone.



WEEKLY: Does Kevin end up attacking Jeff?



RIKAART: Yes. He knocks him out with a pistol. Then he pinches him and beats

Jeff up a bit.



WEEKLY: When Michael, Jana and Daniel arrive do they intervene and calm Kevin

down?



RIKAART: No. By the time they arrive, there's already a police standoff going

on.



WEEKLY: Michael and Amber tie up Jeff, and then Michael pushes Kevin to use Jeff

as a substitute father. How?



RIKAART: Michael, in some therapeutic way, thinks if will help Kevin to play out

some of that anxiety and pain he's feeling with Jeff. Kevin ends up taking more

of his anger on Jeff.



WEEKLY: Meanwhile, the police end up arresting Amber; is Kevin aware of this,

and does he freak out?



RIKAART: No. Kevin's not really cognizant of what's going on.



WEEKLY: Gloria arrives on the scene just as Michael is coaxing Kevin out of the

boxcar, promising he'll be by his side. Is Kevin receptive to Michael's plea?



RIKAART: Yes. Kevin believes Michael. Michael assures Kevin that he'll be

helped, and he walks out trusting him.



WEEKLY: Unfortunately, Michael can't keep his word. The police swarm Kevin,

pushing Michael away and making it impossible for Jana or Gloria to get to him.

What's the whole scene like?



RIKAART: Jana and Gloria are trying to be there for what they're hoping will be

something of a happy ending, but it's not. Kevin's not cognizant of them or

what's going on around him. The cops really overwhelm Kevin, and he becomes

somewhat catatonic.



WEEKLY: The cops cuff Kevin, and Amber tries to reach out to him, to no avail.

What is Kevin's mental state?



RIKAART: He's in a fragile, pretty bad place



WEEKLY: Is Kevin aware of everything he's done?



RIKAART: He kind of goes in and out of moments of lucidity. So he's somewhat

aware of it, but not fully comprehending it all.



WEEKLY: Is this the lowest psychological low Kevin has ever endured?



RIKAART: Up until this point, yes. But unfortunately, it's going to get worse

before it gets better.

SOD & SOW - Chloe, Billy & Mac SL

« Thread Started on Apr 1, 2009, 2:37pm » [Quote]

Mac is Back!

This week, Mac returns to Genoa City but her surprise re-appearance doesn't hold

a candle to the news that Brock is Katherine's son and Jill isn't.



"Billy is in overall shock when he sees Mac," admits Billy Miller. "It's like

getting hit by a massive semitruck. It's really messed up and couldn't be

happening at a worse time."



When he learns that the love of his life isn't related to him after all, it

throws him for a loop. "It means Billy and Mac got screwed over royally a long

time ago," says Miller. "All that time in the shrink's office talking about the

possibility of being in love with and nearly sleeping with your cousin was all

for naught."



Billy and Mac both try to come to terms with the news, albeit separately. After

Colleen coyly suggests that Chloe should "get to know" Mac, Esther fills Chloe

in on Billy's past with her. Chloe is shocked when she learns that the two of

them were married and in love. Meanwhile, Jack does everything in his power to

keep Billy from making a big mistake -- like kicking his current wife to the

curb. Says Miller, "I don't think Billy knows what (kind of feelings) he has for

Mac. All he knows is that was the only real relationship he ever had, and it was

taken from him."



"I think that the whole thing that happened with mac is part of why he's been

the way he's been with women. When you lose someone you love, you react, and

that's how he was trying to deal with the pain -- by being a playboy for all of

these years. He's been searching for someone to fill that void," says Miller.



Jack slaps Billy in the face with a harsh dose of reality. "Who's to say Mac is

still interested -- that she hasn't moved on?" notes Miller. "Jack also points

out that Billy just made a lifelong commitment to Chloe and has a baby. The

whole point of him getting married was for the baby."



Chloe and Billy end up exiting their reception early. Once they're alone, Chloe

tried to wiggle some information about Mac out of Billy, but he responds by

planting a kiss on her and they end up making love. "Billy has a way of making a

woman shut up," laughs Miller.



Billy thinks that having sex with Chloe will help him forget about Mac. He

thinks he can lose himself in sex. But he doesn't get lost enough. Later, Chloe

wakes up and realizes that Billy is gone. He's gone to se Mac.



"Billy wants to feel her out," says Miller. "He just wants someone to talk to.

Mac is pretty cold. She says they've both moved on. Billy needs that connection.

He doesn't have it with anybody else, and Mac's denying it. It's frustrating."



While Billy begs Mac to talk to him, she reveals that she's returning to Darfur

as soon as possible. That's when Chloe arrives, baby in tow. "Elizabeth stole

that scene," raves Miller. "She killed it! Chloe stakes her claim, like any good

woman would."



Billy goes back home with Chloe and the baby, but he eventually finds a way to

sneak back out and heads over Chancellor Estate -- yet again. However, Brock

won't let him see Mac. Billy pleads with Brock to take his phone number in hopes

that Mac will contact him.



"Billy has no idea what he wants," admits Miller. "Billy realizes people change

and move on as they get older -- things are never the same -- but he feels

there's still a glimmer of something there. It could turn out that he and Mac

will just be buddies, but he's got to find out."



By week's end, Mac informs Brock and Kay that she's decided to stay in Genoa

City for good. Says Miller, "It'll be interesting to see where this all goes."

--From tvguide.sympatico.msn.ca (about all soaps)







  The Suds Report: April 3, 2009

By Nelson Branco





'ATWT': Axed next? Sabotage at ABC and CBS? 'One Life' cleans house! Insiders'

'GL' reactions! Right again: 'GH's Hearst and Ward out! Finally, the truth: Why

Bob Guza is safe on 'GH'! Hallelujah: Jess Walton re-signs!







SUDSIEST QUOTES OF THE WEEK:

There is a destiny

None goes this way alone

All that we send into the lives of others

Comes back into our own

—Guiding Light prologue

Translation: That is, until Ellen Wheeler got her hands on the oldest show in

broadcast history and killed it.



"It was not handled with class. I really believe that after the sixth death,

it's a hostile act. I don't understand why this character has always got to be

killed." "[On my final] day, my executive producer, Gary Tomlin, wasn't there."

—Thaao Penghlis (ex-Tony, DAYS) to Soap Opera Digest on his umpteenth firing

Translation: Kill me off a handful of times, shame on you. Kill me off a sixth

time, shame on me.



All My Children, A/ABC — Nixon's a computer geek!

• Who knew our old girl, Agnes Nixon, was so savvy? AMC is launching an

"Internet initiative to enhance international broadcast licensee opportunities

for cross-platform monetization." Um, whatever that means. Soap icon Agnes

Nixon, together with our very own Toronto-based The Fremantle Corporation, are

trying to raise additional revenue streams through merchandising and DVD sales,

linking up with the www.AgnesNixon.com website, texting opportunities and

measurement apparatus. Good luck with that, Agnes. Hasn't anyone learned

anything from GL's cancellation? Why promote a bad product? Fix the writing

first, people.



• Memo to Les Moonves, Anne Sweeney and Brian Frons: According to sources, CBS

Daytime VP Barbara Bloom and AMC executive Julie Hanan Carruthers, who are best

bitch pals, have systemically killed various casting coups between CBS and ABC

for personal and professional agendas. Sounds like corporate sabotage to me.

More proof that these selfish friendships are killing the business.



• Remember when former Y&R head writers Jack Smith and Kay Alden were placed on

ABC holding deals? Once again, Babs killed that. Apparently, Brian Frons wanted

the duo to take over AMC before those hacks Barbara Esensten and James Harmon

Brown took over Agnes Nixon's favourite soap. Babs, who allegedly despises

Smith, demanded Caruthers put an end to the appointment. And then they wonder

why AMC was almost cancelled.



As The World Turns, Global/CBS — World Turns cancelled in 2010?

• Congratulations are in order for Mick Hazen (Parker), who won best young actor

at the Youth Artist Awards. Poor Eddie Alderson (Matthew, One Life).



• This is hot, sick stuff. Me likes.



• On the day of its 53rd anniversary, daytimeconfidential.com reported that

despite World Turns' one-year renewal, CBS apparently informed executive

producer Christina Goutman that the venerable sudser received its last pick-up.

P&G is allegedly looking to sell the recently cancelled GL along with World

Turns as a package deal to a cable or online network. According to DC's Jamey

Giddens sources, "P&G was recently in talks with SOAPnet about picking up both

soap operas, but the deal fell through about a month ago." Which begs the

question: why was soap blocker Ellen Wheeler so shocked when GL was cancelled if

they were shopping the series around?



  On April 17 and 18, Emmy winner Martha Byrne (who is currently lending her

talents to B&B's writing team) will reunite with Paolo Seganti (Damian) for two

special events at the Peter J Sharp Theatre to support Epic's after-school

Bridge Project. The project allows NYC public high school students to

collaborate alongside professional theatre artists to adapt and perform a

classic play with contemporary power. Each 90-minute benefit will include a

series of staged readings plus an exclusive screening of Paul Leyden's film, Bye

Bye Sally, and a reception with the cast and Epic artists. Click here for more

details. Expected to join the real Lily and Damian are Elizabeth Hubbard

(Lucinda), Leyden (Simon), Tamara Tunie (ex-Jessica) and Kathleen Widdoes

(Emma).



• OMG: That whore, Zac, makes a move on Noah, not Luke — shocker!



The Bold and the Beautiful, CTV/CBS — Bad week for Winsor Harmon



	 • TMZ.com reports that underrated soap actor Winsor Harmon (Thorne) is

embroiled in the middle of a legal war over a car he leased through his company.

According to a lawsuit filed in L.A. County Superior Court, Harmon's 2006

Mercedes Benz was repossessed last year because he allegedly skipped out on

lease payments. Now, Daimler Chrysler Financial Services says he still owes more

than $30k in costs for the car, plus some serious interest. FYI: B&B was dark

this week so the show couldn't respond on Harmon's behalf.

Days of our Lives, Global/NBC — Higley does it again!

• From the desk of NBC publicity: DAYS is pleased to announce plans for another

"Day of DAYS" fan event for 2009. The event will take place on November 7, 2009,

at Citywalk at Universal Studios, Hollywood, Calif. and includes cast signings,

special presentations and more. Additional details will be announced in the near

future. As an added bonus, maligned head-writer Dena Higley will be giving out

free botox shots to fans!



• In story news, EJ vows to avenge Tony's death, Rafe tells Sami he's done with

her unhealthy rapist obsession and Philip pisses off every Salem woman because

he's prettier than the lot combined — well, with the exception of Nadia Bjorlin

(Chloe).



• More proof head scabber Dena Higley was born with a horseshoe up her arse:

DAYS finished the first quarter of 2009 tied for No. 2 among network daytime

series in the women 18-49 demographic while ranking No. 2 outright in the

valuable women 18-34 category. You know what? Good for her. Daytime can't afford

to lose another soap, no matter how bad it is. On second thought… maybe we can.



• That big queen, Ross Mathews, will make another appearance on DAYS as Kate's

butch assistant, Chris, on April 14. That'll make up for the losses of Deidre

Hall (ex-Marlena), Drake Hogestyn (ex-John) and Thaao Penghlis (ex-Tony). Not.



Eden Elizabeth Ensenada, ImaginaryBitches.com

• Imaginary Bitches stars unite in new Andrew Miller mini-film!



On the Rock the Soap cruise, Toronto's Andrew Miller and his tragic bride, Eden

Riegel (Bianca, AMC) filmed another online opus, Eden Elizabeth Ensenada, as we

exclusively reported last week. We were on hand for the impromptu filming, which

Miller tells us, "came to me when I woke up at 6 a.m. one morning on the boat."

The short film co-stars Imaginary Bitches' entourage Greg Rikaart (Kevin, Y&R),

Elizabeth Hendrickson (Chloe, Y&R), Robert Sudduth, Van Hansis (Luke, ATWT),

Dave Altarescu and Melissa Claire Egan (Annie, AMC). Unfortunately, I couldn't

make an appearance in the campy masterpiece because I refused to take the

imaginary pay cut Miller was offering. Bitch — don't you know who I am? By the

way: no tequila was involved in the filming of this movie. Yeah, right. Check it

out here.



• Next week, TVGuide.ca will announce an exclusive contest to win one of the

most highly anticipated TV dvds since The Sopranos series collection — Imaginary

Bitches: Season One. The orgasmic collection will be autographed by the entire

cast. Plus, the winner will find a secret message from Heather and Catherine

teasing season two. But be forewarned: There will be a skill-testing question

for all those real bitches imagining they can get a piece of Andrew Miller so

easily.



General Hospital, CTV/ABC — Why Guza will never be fired! Plus: Hearst and Ward

dropped!

• Once again, The Suds Report hit the nail on the head. Despite GH's denials in

the soap magazines, Emmy winner Rick Hearst (Ric) and Megan Ward (Kate) have

been dropped to recurring status. We have learned that only this group of actors

is safe from being dropped to recurring status: Laura Wright (Carly 2.0), Emmy

winners Sarah Brown (Claudia), Anthony Geary (Luke), Maurice Benard (Sonny) and

Steve Burton (Jason). Hmmm… how about Ingo Rademacher (Jax) and Bradford

Anderson (Spinelli)?



• Is Life In General creator and GH writer, Karen Harris, writing the Scrubs

storyline? Harris tells The Suds Report she can't take all the credit for

Robin's post-partum storyline: "While I wish I could, I really have to publicly

set the record straight. I've never been shy about how much I love writing this

couple, [but] the talented General Hospital writing team is equally responsible

for executing this storyline ... and every storyline assigned to us by our

wonderful head writer Robert Guza." OK, then.



	 • The Suds Report has learned exclusively why head writer Bob Guza-Marcil will

never be fired from GH despite terminal ratings and viewer/critical

dissatisfaction. A trusted insider tells me, "When [ABC chief] Brian Frons

couldn't get arrested after his stint on NBC, Guza and [executive producer] Jill

Farren Phelps recommended Brian for the head job at ABC daytime. So, alas, he

owes them and will never get rid of him."



• Emmy winner Steve Burton (Jason) is sporting one hell of a diamond ring on

set. Thank you, Monavie.



Guiding Light, Global/CBS — GL cancellation aftermath!

• "I'm in mourning," Kim Zimmer tells Carolyn Hinsey in Friday's Daily News

regarding GL's axing. "It's different when an actor chooses to leave, because

the comfort is in knowing that show will always be there, but this is it for our

little family as we know and love it."



The irrepressible Zimmer also dishes on her current storyline: "I'm the oldest

woman to give birth on a soap opera while being treated with chemo and radiation

for leukemia during menopause," she cracks. Tell that to Darlene Conley

(ex-Sally, B&B).



• "This show has been here since before World War II," said executive producer

Ellen Wheeler of her show's cancellation. "It has gone through wars and

tragedies and triumphs -- man walking on the moon, and the dawn of the computer

age. This show chronicled all these changes in society. It has been our mirror

on society for generations, and when you lose something that is part of the

fabric of society you lose something precious."



• From Emmy winner Sally Sussman Morina, Generations creator:



When CBS announced the cancellation of Guiding Light, no one thought it was an

April Fool's joke despite the cruel irony of the timing. Rumors of the show's

demise have dogged it for years and finally, CBS pulled the plug and put the

show out of its misery. Guiding Light will now join the ranks of other venerable

institutions that have fallen by the wayside lately; the big city newspaper and

the U.S. auto industry.  But despite the setbacks and financial problems, these

institutions share a unique place in the fabric of American life and are not

replaceable.



Even though the current model for newspapers is failing, people have an

insatiable appetite for news. They just want it instantly, not the next morning.

So the newspapers that migrate successfully to the internet may find a whole new

national and international audience that will far exceed their current

circulation because of their brand names like the Chicago Sun-Times or the Miami

Herald. These brands are recognizable and have credibility, something the

upstarts can only hope to achieve. Brand identity takes years to cultivate and

its value is priceless.



Whatever form General Motors and Chrysler finally morph into, it will surely be

with those brands which are their most trusted and successful ones. Everyone

knows what the Cadillac or Buick brands stand for and they will always have an

edge over a new, untested foreign one.



The same can be said for Guiding Light, a brand that's been part of the American

consciousness for seventy-two years. It's no accident that as it transitioned

from radio to television the name stayed the same. Even without a presence on

the CBS network, Guiding Light doesn't have to fade into darkness. Surely,

Proctor & Gamble knows the value of their brand which is why they must pursue

any avenue to keep the show going.  The network ratings may have been low but

grabbing two million eyeballs each week is no small feat.



Twenty years ago I created Generations for NBC, a soap heralded as

groundbreaking when it premiered yet it only lasted two years. We would've

killed to have had half the success of Guiding Light, even a tenth of it. So

while we all deride the way Nielsen under represents and reports the daytime

audience, the ratings are only one measure of a show's impact. Generations of

viewers have grown up with Guiding Light and its Guinness Record as the

longest-running drama series is unlikely to ever be broken.



So while fans mourn the loss of their show and perhaps send millions of

flashlights to CBS in protest, they should take comfort in the fact that their

brand has even more value in today's scattered media landscape than it has on

the network which may cease to exist itself in a few years. As someone who

watched over the ending of a show, my advice to the producers and writers of

Guiding Light is to go out with a bang and leave the audience wanting more. You

may be 72 years old but in the world of new media, your age is invaluable.



• "I am grateful to have been a part of the greatest achievement in the history

of dramatic television, Guiding Light. Every TV program ever produced borrowed

some part of the model built by Guiding Light. It's as though a dear old friend

has gone to rest, but we can take comfort in the quality of the time we spent

together." —Scott McKinsey, GH director.



• "Guiding Light has a very special place in my heart. I began my career in

daytime there as a production assistant and later returned as executive

producer. It was a privilege (both times) to be a part of such a fabulous group

of people who did such outstanding work. Some of the most talented actors,

writers and directors have walked through the doors of Guiding Light. The

industry will mourn the loss of this beloved show, but Guiding Light leaves a

rich legacy for all of us in daytime to treasure. I wish all my dear friends a

gentle landing." —Jill Farren Phelps, GH executive producer.



• "It's very upsetting to see such an iconic part of TV history say good-bye. GL

will be greatly missed." — Alison Sweeney (Sami, DAYS).



• "Soapnet should pick it up as a first run, afternoon daily show." — Michelle

Van Jean, GH writer.

One Life to Live, A/ABC — Llanview bloodbath!



	 • Thanks a lot, One Life! Just as I was falling in love with Emmy winner A

Martinez (Cruz Montez), the ABC sudser fires the actor! That's the last time I

work hard at investing in a new character. Too bad – Martinez and Robin Strasser

(Dorian) ooze sexual chemistry. The fledgling super-couple could actually test

my David and Dorian loyalty. Damn you, bitches. Likewise, just as I was warming

up to newcomer Melissa Fumero wannabe, Camila Banus (Lola) – who took my breath

away at Broadway Cares in a revealing red-hot number – One Life canned her.



• Despite online reports, The Suds Report can reveal that Emmy winner Jerry ver

Dorn (Clint) will remain on contract. Sorry, GL fans.



• Soap Opera Spirit Award winner Beth Ann Bonner (Talia) landed a gig on Law &

Order. Congrats!



• Big surprise: One Life wants Emmy winner Gina Tognoni (Dinah, GL) back as

Kelly Cramer. Too bad Babs Bloom has other ideas. Tognoni is the most wanted

actress from GL next to Crystal Chappell (Olivia).



• Memo to Brian Frons: cast Crystal Hunt (Stacy) in a porn movie if you like her

that much, but get her off my screen now!



• It's a miracle: The best ABC soap finally paired its hottest leading man,

David Fumero (Cristian) with a viable love interest, Tika Sumpter (Layla) after

consecutively pairing the Cuban stud with four horrific romantic-lead ladies.

Cristian and Layla are simply sex on four legs. Kudos to Sumpter for nailing

this storyline. Good work, One Life.



• Emmy winner Michael Malone just sent me his new novel, Four Corners of the Sky

(Source Books), which will be released in May. After I finish reading my newly

acquired hard-copy version of Harding Lemay's 8 Years in Another World, I'm

going to dive into my favourite One Life head writer's book! Hopefully, there's

no rapemance or Santis!



• One step forward, a million steps backwards: Soap Opera Spirit Award winner

Kathy Brier (Marcie) has been fired. Bad move, One Life. Really bad move. I

guess Brier isn't slutty enough for soap blocker Brian Fons' taste. Also out is

Brier's super talented co-star Chris Stack (Michael). Meanwhile, Brier wrote

this message to her fans on her MySpace page:



  "Last week after seven years on OLTL I was told by the powers that be at ABC my

contract was not going to be renewed at the end of my current cycle (May 31st).

I was told that they don't know what else to write for Marcie. Obviously I don't

agree with that statement. I think Marcie has so many layers still left to

explore. That being said I want to take this opportunity to thank you all for

being the most loyal fans I will probably ever have in my entire career. Over

the years I have received countless emails and letters expressing how much

Marcie has given hope to and inspired you but I want you all to know that you

have done the same for me.



You welcomed Marcie in a medium where she was never expected to flourish and

helped me to break boundaries that my fellow voluptuous thespians (hollah —

Chandra Wilson, Melissa McCarthy) continue to break down.



I hope to have your support as I enter this new adventure in my life and career

and I hope, you have enjoyed the life and times of Marcie Walsh McBain as much

as I have."



TVGuide.ca spoke with one of the most talented actors in soaps just two weeks

ago on the Rock The Soap cruise:



TVG: There are always these rumours that you are about to bolt One Life?

Kathy Brier: Really? Omigod, I love the show and the role. I'll play Marcie as

long as Erika Slezak [Viki] is on the show.



• Who's stealing the show these days? That's easy: Carmen Lo Porto (Jack),

Hillary B. Smith (Nora) and Shenell Edmonds (Destiny). "John McPain," quipped

that little superstar in the making Lo Porto! Memo to Eddie Alderson: watch your

back and paralyzed legs, Carmen is coming after you, buddy! I want more of Jack,

the only character Todd Manning is fearful of!



• I love Florencia Lozano (Téa). And it's unconditional. This woman is a star.



Soaps UP, A — Amanda Wilson — don't do it!

First GL's cancellation and now this depressing news: My favourite soap show,

Soaps Up, has officially pissed me off. Soap Opera Spirit nominee Amanda Wilson

announced she will split her hosting gig with some blonde hair model. Don't do

it, Amanda. Because I'll start boycotting the show when you're not on by taping

the American feed again. Please reconsider. If you don't, I swear I'll kidnap

your boy toy, Dan Gauthier (ex-Kevin, One Life) Todd Manning-style. Seriously,

you'll be missed on those odd weeks you're not hosting



The Young and the Restless, Global/CBS — Nia Peeples fired!

• One of Canada's most popular shows, Y&R, has always wisely boasted an

on-screen Canadian presence. The Suds Report has learned there are more maple

syrup loving actors on the show. Along with Toronto native Tonya Lee Williams

(Mamie 2.0), we have learned that Sharon Case (Sharon), Jeanne Cooper (Kay),

Jess Walton (Jill) and Tracey Bregman (Lauren) all have Canuck ties. Cool, huh?



• Another reason to trust The Suds Report: we reported eons ago that Nia Peeples

(Karen) was fired from Y&R. Unfortunately, Y&R pulled a Lauren Woodland

(ex-Brittany) by failing to notify her agent by the deadline. So, they had to

renew Peeples for another 13-week cycle. Don't let the door hit you on the way

out, honey!



• Emmy winner Jess Walton (Jill) has re-signed with the show after seeing the

film and prime-time stars interested in the part. The Suds Report has learned

major boldface was in the running, so smart move, Jess! I'm thrilled Walton is

sticking around, but if I had to recast the part I would have given it to

Colleen Zenk Pinter (Babs, ATWT) without an audition. Regardless, Walton is

about to embark on the biggest storyline of her career, so good move, Jess.



• Canadian Y&R fans— get ready to gamble. Joyce Becker's soap opera festival is

heading to Caesars Windsor Casino in Windsor, Ont. on May 9 at 4 p.m. ET.

Tickets are $10. Scheduled appearances include: Sharon Case (Sharon), Christian

LeBlanc (Michael), Jeanne Cooper (Katherine), and B&B's Kyle Lowder

(Rick-erella). Tickets are available at the Box Office or online at

www.caesarswindsor.com through www.ticketmaster.ca  or charge by phone

1-888-345-5885.



• Emmy winner Eric Braeden (Victor) actually had a boy's night out! My hero had

dinner at Martha Madison's (ex-Belle, DAYS) hot Los Angeles resto/bar, Luna

Park, on Friday night. Braeden has great taste.



• One of Y&R's biggest stars ever, Victoria Rowell (ex-Dru) exclusively reveals

to The Suds Report that she's about to be fitted in a Jane Wilson-Marquis

wedding gown. Guess who is walking Rowell down the aisle? None other than

Oscar-nominated actor and Rowell's former co-star, Samuel L. Jackson.



In other Rowell news, the Daytime Emmy-nominated diva is also attending The

Metropolitan Museum of Art to attend the film première for Lymelife, starring

Emmy winners Alec Baldwin and Cynthia Nixon at the 14th Annual Gen Art Film

Festival-going with her super sexy fiancée, acclaimed artist Radcliffe Bailey.

One of my all-time soap divas also just signed a deal to publish her oh-so

scandalous faux-memoir, Confessions of a Soap Opera Diva. We can't wait!



SOAP OPERA MYSTERY HOUR: This week's hottest blind items

—Which west coast actor is telling anyone who will listen that he's done with

his hit soap because he hasn't had a storyline in a dog's age? He's eager to

find a new role on another soap. And yes, that's the alcohol talking.



—Which executive producer went into rehab recently when his wife found out about

his various vices and affairs?



—Which soap starlet is battling prescription drug abuse? The show is very

worried about the fan fave.



—Which soap manager is working with two soap superstars who want to return to

their iconic soap roles? Let's hope the pay cuts don't ruin these potential

casting coups!

SOAP OPERA DIGEST INSIDER



April 2, 2009



Greetings From The Editor

Lynn Leahey



Dear Readers,

It was a sad day in the Digest office when we heard GL was canceled. I

have loved that show since I was a little girl watching with my mother,

and I just can't imagine daytime without it. We're talking to GL-ers past

and present about what it all means; stay tuned for more in future

issues.... It looks like a man other than Ridge or Rick will be getting

some action on B&B very soon: No sooner has Owen planted a kiss on his

crush, Bridget, than he's thanking Jackie with a buss. Will Owen get lucky

with either? Bridget makes it clear she's not in the market for romance,

and Jackie insists nothing can happen because they work together.

Something tells me both women are wrong.... Megan Ward (Kate) and Rick

Hearst (Ric) have been taken off contract at GH, but we're told they'll

remain on the show -- unless they get a better offer.... Back for a quick

visit is OLTL's Tuc Watkins, for an appearance you won't want to miss.

David informs a proud Dorian that he got his big break -- in a hemorrhoid

treatment commercial. Robin Strasser confesses to Digest that the scenes

were among the hardest acting assignment she's ever had, because it was

all she could do to keep from falling off her chair laughing!





TALES FROM THE INTERVIEW



Stephanie Sloane: Over the years, Thaao Penghlis (Tony) has been so

lovely, charming and cooperative with the magazine and it has been a

pleasure for me to talk to him. He has been killed off DAYS yet again and

this time, the actor says, "I really believe that after the sixth death,

it's a hostile act. I don't understand why this character has always got

to be killed. It's not the leaving, because I've always gone on to do

other things, and I am certainly in the middle of some very exciting

things now, but I was given some really interesting things to play in the

last few weeks, and I think it's a pity that wasn't there before." For the

full interview, check out the new issue.



Lauren Flynn: When I was preparing for my Hillary B. Smith interview in

the current issue of Digest, I wasn't exactly certain what we'd be talking

about, but I imagined it would have something do with Smith returning to

the "front burner." The actress was quick to point out, however, that she

doesn't consider her story involving Nora, Matthew and Bo front burner,

but rather "one of the stories that's happening because it's a cataclysmic

event. It was the perfect storm: Blair getting stabbed, Cole on drugs, him

hitting Gigi and Shane and the discoveries of Shane's illness and all of

it just happened all at once," she observed. "So you realize you're just a

piece in a bigger puzzle and your job is to make sure that your piece is

full and fits nicely with the puzzle." It's an event that she's been

waiting for since at least 2005, when Nora went into a coma and it looked

like Smith was going to walk. But something in her heart told her to stay

and see what would happen for Nora, and boy, are we glad she did. When

given the chance to shine, Smith always rises to the occasion but without

eclipsing the other fine performers. That's what makes her an invaluable

ensemble player and this plot "Worth the Wait" (see page 62).



Devin Owens: Besides talking to Digest about her latest tenure on Y&R,

Eileen Davidson (Ashley) maintains a realistic view about an acting

career, especially during these economical times befalling soaps. "When

you're an actor, you kind of sign on to the fact that you're a vagabond

and a traveling salesman," explains Eileen. "Consistency and stability is

the antithesis of the definition of what acting is all about. The fact

that you have that steady income and stability in your life because of

soaps is an anomaly and very rare. That's why when I was fired from Y&R

the first time, I always said, 'You know, it never said in my contract

that I get to play Ashley Abbott till the day I die unless I choose not

to.' That's just not how life is and certainly not in this business.

There's been some huge changes in daytime lately but it's been a great

ride for everybody."

Style.





CAMPAIGN TRAIL

You gotta love soap fans' creativity -- Digest regularly receives doodads

and goodies from readers who know how to make a statement.



Vera Hadzi-Antich: Normally fan campaigns are geared toward a specific

couple or actor/actress, but this week we had two group campaigns. The

first is from the folks at

http://sourceinterlink.r.delivery.net/r?2.1.3Ky.2gt.11g2vw.C5AzWA..N.QLy0.

2bQ.bW89MQ%5f%5fCeGaFPK0 celebrating "the next generation of soaps' 'bad

girls'" with a quote from Mae West saying, "When I'm good, I'm very good.

When I'm bad, I'm better." The second group campaign is from AMC

supporters asking for some R-E-S-P-E-C-T! They say: "It's time for AMC &

ABC to show some love to these women and the viewers." It's nice how

campaigners came together on these!



Of course there are also some couple-based campaigns. ATWT's Nuke fans,

yet again, gave us a new campaign telling us "how to write for Luke &

Noah: 1. Keep Luke & Noah together forever 2. No breakups 3. No cheating"

... Well, yeah, but where's the drama in that? Dueling Y&R campaigns vie

for Billy's love. Billy and Lily supporters say they are the "real deal."

Billy and Chloe supporters beg the writers not to "take a child from her

parents!" Even though the news broke yesterday that GUIDING LIGHT would be

wrapping in September after 72 years, fans would like to see more Olivia

and Natalia scenes. They are calling themselves "Team Otalia."



My favorite creative campaign this week comes from the Thorsten Kaye fans

and their "Special Kaye ... he does AMC good" campaign. I always

appreciate a little laugh.



Thanks everyone!





TYPE SET



Kudos to GL! I was skeptical when it was first announced that Doris Wolfe

would be revealed as a closeted lesbian, but her scenes with Olivia have

been so emotionally raw that I have found myself near tears. I have always

been a fan of Orlagh Cassidy [Doris], but her involvement in the "Otalia"

storyline has brought a certain humanity to Doris. Crystal Chappell

(Olivia) has this unique way of making you feel every emotion of her

character. Throughout this whole past week, her scenes with Jessica

Leccia's Natalia made my heart need a reboot! I can't say the last time

any show has elicited so much emotion from me. Thank you, GL! Paige S., GA







STAR SIGHTING



I recently saw Dirty Dancing on Broadway at the Cadillac Theatre in

Chicago. GH's John Bolger (Mayor Garrett Floyd) plays the role of Baby's

dad. He was great. Sara, via the Internet

A. Sorry, Kay's memoir, I'm Going To Live 'Til I Die, was strictly

INSIDER POLL



Have your say in our exclusive subscriber-only poll.



Last week, we asked: GH just announced that they are aging the character

of Michael Corinthos, and rumor has it that the character of Kristina

Davis is next. How do you feel when your show does this?



You said:



It's great -- it creates new storylines with characters we already know

and love: 21%



I hate it -- it's so unrealistic and I'd rather the show just create new

characters: 50%



Neutral -- as long as the plots are hot, I don't care what they do with

the character's age: 29%



Here's this week's question:



ATWT's Parker and Liberty are 16 and 17 years old, respectively, and they

tied the knot. What do you think about young marriages on soap operas?



It's romantic, but I don't expect it to work out.



It's pointless. We know how it's going to turn out ... in divorce.



It's entertaining. Young love is a beautiful thing!
