DAYS' Cast Members Talk Christmas!!

Mark Hapka (Nathan): Any special plans this holiday season?
I rallied my entire family up this year and am meeting them in Buffalo, NY (where Christmas FEELS like Christmas)! Then I catch a flight to Orlando to see my Florida parents for a couple days before I drive out to Miami to meet my boys for New Years!



Taylor Spreitler (Mia):
Do you have a favorite childhood holiday memory?
My sister and I staying up all night to see Santa, she saw him I never did.


Molly Burnett (Melanie):
What is your favorite holiday food?
MY MOMMY'S COOKIES!!! They're like Russian teacakes, and melt in your mouth.

Gabrielle Rodriguez (Gabi):
Do you have a favorite childhood holiday memory?
I remember when I was ten, my dad got me a dirt bike for Christmas, but he never told my mom about it. On Christmas morning, when we woke up and saw the huge bike right by the tree, I was super excited, but my mom went insane! She was furious. I guess she was worried I would hurt myself, like my dad did when he used to race. Luckily, I never did, and now, we look back at that Christmas day and laugh.


Louise Sorel (Vivian):
Do you have a favorite childhood holiday memory?
Christmas trees have always been my favorite memory and for a Jewish person it's not so common.


Eric Martsolf (Brady):
Any special plans this holiday season?
To spoil my kids rotten before they get to the age where they realize it!   


Crystal Chappell (Carly):
"Any holiday traditions you care to share?
My family and I trim the tree with Christmas music every year.

BRYAN DATILLO OUT AT DAYS!

Soap Opera Digest reports that Bryan Datillo's agent stated that the show was not picking up his contract and he taped his last episode before holiday break. Datillo's contract officially expires in February 2010.

Oh, no. Maybe he will go somewhere else. Not like he was being utilized at Days anyway. They would rather throw Chloe and that overly-hunk old man together.

Will Rogers get an another Emmy in a SHOCKER DAYS story?

There had been rumors before, but in today's Suds Report, Nelson Branco says:

• Show runner Gary Tomlin is determined — and rightfully so — to secure Emmy winner Suzanne Rogers her second statuette! Word on the set is that Mickey Horton will die which will drive Maggie back to the bottle. Brilliant, much? Yep! I can’t wait to see this …  You just know Lucas (Bryan, you look amazing, by the way! Welcome back!) will be dying to utter the cliché, “Pot. Kettle. Black.”

WHAT!? DAYS' Dylan Patton is OUT as Will is recast!

Ohhh noooooo! Just something else to add on to a day of bad news.  My favorite younger actor in daytime, Dylan Patton, is out at DAYS, according to Soap Opera Digest. It's a shame. According to the mag's site, Chandler Massey will take over the role. An insider tells them  "They just felt they needed to make a change with the story coming up."  This news deeply saddens me, so either I hope the new guy will do good in the role or I may have to be angry with DAYS casting director who has usually been on point in the past few months.



Wishful Casting: B&B had decided to recast Brooke's kids, Hope & RJ. Hope will be now portrayed by. Even though im not an avid B&B viewer, looks like one of the best shots would be to throw him in as R.J., the sole child of Ridge (Ronn Moss) and Brooke (Katherine Kelly Lang)

DAYS' Carly Manning has a daughter?

Yep, that's what you heard. The rumors say that Crystal Chappell's Carly Manning will move in with her Aunt Maggie (Suzanne Rogers) in order to be closer to her daughter, which has to be either Mia (Taylor Sprietler) or Melanie (Molly Burnett). While most people hope it's Mia, including TVGCanada's Nelson Branco, who I thought loved my MollyDolly (LOL), I definitely hope its Melanie.

DAYS' Hartley: Arianna isn't like Theresa.

Look what DAYS' Lindsay Hartley (Arianna) had to say when she spoke to Daytime Confidential's Jamey Giddens.

"This character is nothing like Theresa," Hartley told me on the red carpet outside of the 36th Annual Daytime Emmys. "Arianna is a drug dealer, but she has a strong motivation for what she's doing that you will see very soon. What I love about being on DAYS is that the stories have a resolution. They don't just go on and on without any pay off. You will definitely see pay off with Arianna's story."

Roscoe Born's Back!!? But Where?

Daytime Confidential's Jamey Giddens is reporting that Roscoe Born will be returning to one of his former sudsers for a top-secret storyline, but doesn't let us know who yet!!

It makes perfect sense that it is peak time for one of Born's alter egos on three soaps to return. His OLTL character Mitch (whom Born played from 1985-1987, then again from 2002-2003)'s daughter Jessica (Bree Williamson) is freaking out because she's being stalked. Y&R's Tom (whom Born portrayed from 2005-2006, and again in a dream in 2009)'s son Kevin (Greg Rikaart) finds out daddy had another son in Ryder (Wilson Bethel). But what if he pops up in Salem as Trent Robbins (Born played in 2008) just as life is getting good for daughter Melanie (Molly Burnett).

Guess we'll just have to stay tuned..

Is Tamara Braun being courted by Y&R as Victoria?

Could this fantasy come true, is Tamara Braun (ex-Carly, GH; ex-Reese, AMC, ex-Ava, DAYS) talking to Y&R? Here's snip from the Suds Report.

Casting Coach: Is Y&R courting Emmy winner Tamara Braun (ex-Reese, AMC, ex-Ava, DAYS) as a Victoria Newman recast? I can’t say — but will CBS have the balls to fire a pregnant woman? Well, if they don’t have the cajones — then they should buy some. Check out my exclusive sit-down interview with the best executive producer in daytime history, Mr. Paul Rauch, this Wednesday.

Sarah Brown' (Claudia, GH, ex-Carly, GH, ex-Julia, ATWT) is still my ultimate #1 choice for Victoria Newman, but Braun would be the only second there could be!
Well since AMC's moving to LA, it's the perfect time for Heinle's Mia to return and reunited with Frankie and have their SORAS-ed son with them.
