More news concerning the Day that Daytime celebrated! TV Guide Canada reported in this weeks Suds Report, that Brian Frons reportedly gave Chuck Pratt three months to clean the show up, but due to fan unhappiness, story not improving, and veterans complaining, especially Susan Lucci, something had to be done. Yesterday, Daytime Confidential reported that Agnes Nixon protege, Lorraine Broderick would fill in for the time being for AMC's transition.
Read more...I'm not going to waste time talking, but Chuck Pratt has been fired from AMC. Is the show ready for a revival now? Let's hope he didn't have time enough to pen the anniversary storyline.
This week's Suds Report says that Trevor is revealed to be Jake's son. Just after she slept with David. Liza loses her baby. Wow, now I see why Chrishell Stause didn't want to be conracted with this soap.
Check the latest ATWT scoop from this week's Suds Report:
• As Suds reported exclusively a few weeks back, Emmy-nominated actress Meredith Hagner is indeed leaving World Turns (smart girl!). However, according to a couple of sources, David Kreizman has changed his mind and won’t be killing off Liberty. Instead, the role will be recast. Apparently, a casting breakdown for a 16-18 young female with a “hard edge” has already been released. Smart move, David.Read more...
• Nuke fans, rejoice: Word from the Brooklyn set is that Noah’s blindness is only temporary.
• Is Marnie Schulenburg out? Sources close to the actress relay that Marnie is seriously considering leaving when her contract expires in February. So perhaps instead of killing Liberty the show may off Alison instead. I pray this is true so I don’t have to keep looking up how to spell the name of one of Oakdale’s worst recasts ever!
• Holy Kreiz! Take this gossip with a grain of salt, World Turns fans. The growing buzz is that the venerable CBS sudser will be renewed for one more year! No joke. When Suds Report contacted our CBS sources for confirmation, several insiders claimed it’s pretty much a done deal but nothing will be announced until after November Sweeps. “We can’t cancel World Turns so soon after Guiding Light,” explains one network mole. “I don’t watch the show but everyone here says World Turns has gotten its act together creatively so the thinking is to give it another year.” Ya think?
Funny video of the DAYS cast having a dance-off that was done by Molly Burnett (Melanie) and Casey Deidrick (Chad). LOL AT Crystal Chappell!! And also Peter Reckell, Eric Martsolf, James Scott, Arianne Zucker, Wally Kurth, Mark Hapka, and all the rest of the cast included in the vid! Just saying, Casey Deidrick looks great gangsta! I think Crystal Chappell so totally won!
Check out this interview Peter Bergman (Jack) of Y&R dishes with ET Online!
Read in full, but here are some excerpts:
ET: How has daytime changed over the more than 20 years you have been a part of it?
Peter Bergman: Let me give you a few examples. When I first started, on every single show there was the town slut. You can't do that post-AIDS. People on television are talking about whether or not they are protected. That stuff never went on 30 years ago. Scenes were longer. Stuff really happened in scenes. Between commercials there would be two scenes, now there are four.
ET: Do you think that is because of MTV?
Peter Bergman: In part because of MTV; in part, America's attention span has just shrunk.
ET: Why do you think "Y&R" has been No. 1 for so long? Do you think it is the reality of the stories?Read more...
Peter Bergman: I think in part it is the reality of the stories. There is something to be said for momentum and people not changing the channel. When you turn on "The Young and the Restless," you know what you are going to see. You are probably going to see Nikki (Scott), or Victor, or Jack, or Ashley (Eileen Davidson) -- the people that you are used to seeing on the show. Some of these other shows, you turn it on and you don't know the characters.
ET: And you know this because…?
Peter Bergman: I always make it my business to watch [other soaps]. I am here at Television City in my dressing room. I watch "Days of our Lives," "One Life to Live," "All My Children," "General Hospital" and "The Bold and the Beautiful." I make my way around a) because I have friends on these shows; and b) because I can steal stuff.
Is Stacy's baby about to become a part of the "Kish" storyline?
AE: Will there be other bigger stories for them? RC: Oh yeah, absolutely. The other story that's going on with them at the same time is that from his one night stand with Stacy there's a pregnant girl out there that's carrying his baby. As their relationship moves forward, you know that complication is lying out there. Obviously I'm farther ahead with the writing, but what you're seeing now is just playing out the romance and the love story without the obstacles at the moment. Down the road, the baby story will become a big part of their relationship.
It saddens me much to think of an Alicia Minshew/Kendall-less AMC, but I am floured with happiness that that arrogant Zach Slater will be packing his backs. This week Soapgeist is reporting that Alicia Minshew and Thorsten Kaye are filming their final scenes
Daytime’s biggest douche-bag super-couple, Kendall and Zach, are leaving Pine Valley together. Actors Alicia Minshew and Thorsten Kaye only have three last episodes to tape. Thankfully, AMC’s taping schedule is so far ahead that the actress’s early birth didn’t affect the schedule. Minshew will return at the end of the month and film the farewell, report sources. The character’s myriad on-screen children will also exit the canvas. Whew. As previously reported, AMC will finish taping on Dec. 11 and then start re-taping around Jan. 11, 2010. Good times. Let’s hope now that One Life is taping in the same studio as The View that daytime’s redheaded stepchild may benefit from their new neighbours. Riiight.
We Love Soaps had several great interview with Days of our Lives stars. I didn't choose them all, but since Soaps-Now is back and better than ever, I chose the best interviews as I saw fit. Interviews I chose included those featuring little tykes Lauren Boles (Ciara) & Terrell Ransom Jr. (Theo). Also Renee Jones (Lexie, James Reynolds (Abe), Dylan Patton (Will), Taylor Sprietler (Mia), Suzzanne Rogers (Maggie) and Molly Burnett (Melanie). Check 'em out!
NJ.com is reporting that OLTL just recently had an on-location shoot featuring the characters of Todd (Trevor St. John), Blair (Kassie DePaiva), Danielle (Kelly Missal), Tea (Florenica Lozano), Ross (Michael Lowry), Bo (Robert S. Woods), and Nora (Hillary B. Smith).
The episodes are said to be dealing with a hostage situation on the Raritan bridge and will air the weeks of Dec 4 & 17. Seems like the Tea's secret arc will be coming to a head, and I can't wait because it is pestering me that Danielle doesn't know she's the splitting image of her father Todd! I'd also like to see her duke it out on screen with Starr & Jack!
Noah's Blind, Rosanna proposes, and is that?????.....Yes, Felicia Forrester gets airtime on ATWT!!!!
TO ALL OF OUR READERS:
I AM SORRY, VERY SORRY FOR BEING OFF FOR SUCH A LONG TIME.
School had just gotten back into the swing of things, and it was hard for me to update, and still is.
But yet I am back to post as much as I can, and much as possible. Yes, I am still interested in finding co-owners if possible. Just contact us (information at bottom of page if interested).
I am also in the process of developing like a mini-Justin Bieber fansite (if you haven't noticed if you follow us on twitter im a BIG Bieber fan), rebooting the Kris Allen site, and also getting together this new project called ENTERTAINMENTSPOT.US which will just toss everything from the entertainment, music, television biz into one.
So I decided this neat lil' thing, the last post I had was Sarah Brown's exit story, and today was her first day on B&B! Not a nice decision, but I hope she does good. Even though I was all for Sarah on GH, and wanted her as Vikki on Y&R.
I'll try to start posting frequently soon. So hang tight!
