ABC Soaps In Depth的February 26, 2018目录

Maxie (then Robyn Richards) didn’t dump high school boyfriend Kyle for posting their sex video on-line, but did call it quits when their partying led to her drug overdose. Maxie fell for undercover cop Jesse while helping him clear his name, but her first love was killed during a shoot-out at the town carnival. The Text-Message Killer not only strangled Maxie’s beloved sister, Georgie, but also murdered her boyfriend, Coop. Thanks to her own web of lies while acting as Lulu’s surrogate, Maxie lost custody of daughter Georgie and fell into an epic fight with her bestie. Crushed that she’d accidentally “killed” cousin Robin, Maxie (fill-in Jen Lilley) falsely confessed to murdering crazy Lisa Niles and married a guilty Matt to cover for him.…

STATUS Word is that Vinessa Antoine (Jordan), who joined GH in early 2014, has inked a new deal with the soap. But that isn’t the actress’ only exciting news! Antoine, who recently guest-starred on NCIS, also has a top-secret scripted dance project in the works with friend and fellow dancer Finola Hughes (Anna). “We’re not ready to talk about it yet, but Finola and I have been working on something for quite some time,” she teases. “I’m so happy and so excited about it, because we’re both very passionate about it… and I can’t say any more!”…

Things have been rough for both Anna and Felicia of late, so the friends find a little time to commiserate on Monday, February 12. That same day, find out why Finn is looking for legal advice! Although Ava can’t help being concerned on Tuesday, February 13, she also can’t help looking forward to spending time with Griffin on Wednesday, February 14! Find out what pushes mild-mannered Molly to lash out on Tuesday, February 20, not to mention how Alexis winds up in a rather precarious position on Wednesday, February 21. And even as Ava’s gallery is threatened on Thursday, February 22, Griffin is reaching out for help on Friday, February 23! Dates are subject to change.…

J.T. shares a very special moment with Traci on Monday, February 12, as they reflect on Colleen, the young woman who meant so much to both of them. Jack can’t help but gloat about Jabot’s newest hire on Tuesday, February 13, while Phyllis continues to dig for info. Join Lily and Cane as they renew their wedding vows on Wednesday, February 14. Victoria hatches a scheme designed to drive Ashley out of Newman on Thursday, February 15. And on Friday, February 16, Devon stumbles upon a secret that could change everything!…

FYI FYI FYI World Renowned: “Having the opportunity to work in different countries is a blessing,” raves the actor. Infamous: Until a recent gym run-in, the GH heavy says, “I’d never been recognized as Faison in Denmark!” The Anti-Faison: “It’s great to be a father,” gushes Hove, who’s currently shooting a film with son Elliot. His One Regret: “I never got to work with Maurice Benard (Sonny),” Hove notes with a sigh. GENERAL HOSPITAL’s Faison tore through Port Charles like a whirlwind — wreaking havoc, killing his newfound son and then dying himself, all in the blink of an eye. It was a blast for Anders Hove, who has played the supervillain on and off for 30 years, so no, of course, he wouldn’t mind in the slightest if another…

Starter House GENERAL HOSPITAL’s Haley Erin (Kiki) and fiancé Logan Luedtke adore their new home, but aren’t yet sure it’s a keeper. “It’s like a little cottage,” she explains. “There are no closets and everything’s original. It was built back in the early ’50s, and it’s the only house in our neighborhood that hasn’t been expanded. If you look at Google Maps, you can tell which is our house because it’s like a third the size of the others. For first-time home buyers, it’s exactly what you’re looking for.” With the second bedroom turned into a cloffice (that’s half closet/half office), however, it’s not ideal for raising a family. “It’s possible we could have a kid in this house, but that’s not the goal,” the actress chuckles. “We’d have to…

Sweet Love GH’s Chad Duell (Michael) and B&B’s Courtney Hope (Sally) When GH’s Bryan Craig (ex-Morgan) introduced castmate Chad Duell (Michael) to Courtney Hope (Sally, B&B) almost three years ago, they instantly hit it off . “We started talking about music, agricullture — real things,” Hope recalls. “And at parties in L.A., that’s not common.” After the party, however, Duell backed off. “I wanted to hang out with her… but part of me knew I would end up dating her,” he admits. “I guess I was scared.” Hope, who found herself the pursuer for the first time ever, is grateful she sent Duell one last silly message before giving up. “My parents always used to tell me love should be easy and with someone who’s your best friend,” she explains.…

10. GENERAL HOSPITAL’s Jax & Brenda After having her heart broken by Sonny in the late 1990s, Brenda was sure that she’d never love again. Neither did she want to, nor did she even think it was possible. But that was before a smitten Jax took her hand in his and gently made her see that love didn’t have to hurt. It wasn’t supposed to, either. When at last she truly opened herself up to the potential for a new beginning with the handsome Aussie, her whole outlook changed. “Do you know what I feel like with you?” she once asked him. “I feel like you know what I’m saying even when I’m not saying it… Could you really be the best thing that’s ever happened to me?” Depending on…

Q: Which of your co-stars is the master of Twitter and why? Kin Shriner (Scotty, GH): “Michelle Stafford (Nina) uses Twitter quite well. Maurice Benard (Sonny) also does a lot of tweeting and is really good with responding to fans.” Melissa Ordway (Abby, Y&R) “Christian [Jules] LeBlanc (Michael). He is so great at communicating and taking pictures and posting them on social media!” Anthony Turpel (R.J., B&B) “Not me! I don’t really like it. I’m not very active on social media, and I don’t really look at my phone too much.” Christel Khalil (Lily, Y&R) “It seems like Daniel [Goddard, Cane] is, because he seems to post all the time, and he might have the most followers. He’s pretty active on Twitter!” Stephen Nichols (Steve, DAYS) “Deidre [Hall, Marlena]. Somebody…

THE BOLD & THE BEAUTIFUL While planning Brooke and Ridge’s wedding, Katie and Thorne flirted, and he prodded her about her “mystery man.” Katie and Wyatt were conflicted on whether or not he should join her at the ceremony, but, ultimately, he remained at her place and staged a romantic surprise for her return. Steffy attempted to convince Liam to join her at her father’s wedding. Later, she and Hope made a pact. Eric and Quinn were supportive of the surprise that Ridge, Pam and Charlie had planned for the bride, while Hope and Maya gifted Brooke with a special “something old.” With Carter officiating, the couple officially tied the knot and enjoyed the subsequent reception surrounded by their loved ones. Brooke and Ridge take a little time to revel…

The In Depth Story: “It’s impossible to understate how fragile Maxie is right now,” says co-headwriter Shelly Altman. “No one should have to go through what she is experiencing right now. She’s just trying to get through every day.” In the wake of having buried her beloved husband, Maxie finds herself drowning in emotions beyond her control. “She’s looking for answers,” says Altman, “and to assign blame for what happened to Nathan Nathan..” It is a sad irony that the very people she needs the most are, in some cases, also the ones she can’t help but blame. Certainly Lulu, who wrote the story which brought Faison to town and set in motion the tragic events leading to Nathan’s shooting, is among them. As a result, “Maxie rejects the overtures…

The In Depth Story: The potential series is based on Lauren Palphreyman’s popular viral romance by the same name. “Based on reaction from the first episode, they’re going to decide when they want to shoot the rest of the season,” Watkins tells Soaps In Depth. “But it’s looking really good!” The supernatural romance follows Lila, a teenager who is contacted by The Cupids MatchMaking Service — and discovers that her perfect match is Cupid! “I am Cupid,” smiles Watkins, who admits that it is a tad “weird” to be playing the love interest of a high schooler. “I feel like I’m a little old to be playing high school, but it works because Cupid is over a thousand years old. So there’s room for age flexibility when he has to…

The In Depth Story: “I’m thrilled, and very grateful, that the journey continues,” he tells Soaps In Dep . “I’m looking forward to what’s ahead — and, of course, I’m extremely happy.” As it turns out, the fan favorite — who joined GH a few years after a stint as ALL MY CHILDREN’s Nico — has plenty to smile about, both on screen and off. Not only is he thrilled about Sonny’s emotional new storyline involving his father, Mike (see page 9), but the Emmy winner is excited about his two vastly different upcoming films, the inspirational Hold On and the deliciously horrific Nightmare Cinema! “I’ve been doing other things [outside of GH], which makes me happy.” It seems like it’s a good time to be Benard, and the actor…

IN As Brad and Lucas work on adopting a baby, Parry Shen has been back on set! “Had to pop into a hospital real quick,” said Brad’s portrayer in an Instagram video shot last month in the GH parking lot. “I’ve been feeling a bit under the weather… but oh, maybe this place has something that will help me fix this bug!” At press time, his air date was unavailable. Meanwhile, Anthony Montgomery puts in an appearance as Andre on Wednesday, February 15, when Anna visits her friend for a little headshrinking. The character hasn’t been seen since he was carted off by the WSB late last year for his part in Jason and Drew’s memory swap, and we heard at that time that there was more ahead for him.…

On Monday, February 12, Marlena wants answers as to why John’s been behaving so weirdly! But on Tuesday, February 13, he tries again to inject Steve with dose of the mysterious drug! That same day, Kate is reunited with Billie, who has a secret reason for being back in Salem! Eric realizes that he and Jennifer got their wires crossed on Wednesday, February 14, so he hopes to have another chance with the beauty on Thursday, February 15. And on Friday, February 16, a hospitalized Steve makes a discovery that’s sure to shock him!…

FYI FYI FYI  Birthday: June 11. Birthplace: Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. Kudos: Bergman praised Camryn Grimes’ portrayal of Mariah when she confessed to Sharon that she might have feelings for another woman. “That was a kickass two days. Cammy was fantastic!” Change Of Heart: The actor says that he once considered directing. “But directing is less about working with actors. It’s now more technical. So now I think about teaching acting.” THE YOUNG & THE RESTLESS’ Peter Bergman has taken his alter ego, Jack, on some pretty wild rides throughout the years, with storylines involving everything from drug addiction to doppelgangers. But having mom Dina return to town only to discover she’s suffering from Alzheimer’s has given the Emmy winner a story that is as poignant as it is real. Soaps…

FYI FYI FYI  Alma Mater: Ohio Wesleyan University. All In The Family: The actor’s children are Greysun, 8, and Boheme, 2. Coming Soon: “F.R.E.D.I. is a cute adventure movie [about a lovable robot] that your 13-year-old would love,” Christopher shares. “I play a dad.” Winter Binging: “Bri and I are gonna do GAME OF THRONES and STRANGER THINGS this season,” Christopher confides. So far, DAYS OF OUR LIVES’ Stefan O. DiMera — the handsome schemer who has grabbed the keys to the family kingdom — has reminded viewers of the Cheshire Cat. Beneath his easygoing manner and hypnotic smile lies a mind that’s at least two steps ahead of everyone else’s. In fact, we suspect that even if he were to take a fall in his efforts, he’d most likely…

Gam-Worthy! ALL MY CHILDREN’s Eden Riegel (Bianca) looks great in a romper, which has already become this year’s warm-weather fashion must! Double Vision Starting with a basic black turtleneck, GENERAL HOSPITAL’s Donnell Turner (Curtis) put together two entirely different looks. While both are terrific, the dapper gray suit left our informal voters swooning! Polka Dots Fashionably speaking, a dose of dots adds frivolity and fun. These current and former ladies of GH make great use of such a bold graphic trend. Shining Star…

Longtime ONE LIVE TO LIVE stage manager Raymond J. Hoesten, Sr., passed away in December at the age of 74, but Erika Slezak (Viki) tells Soaps In Depth that he was a “wonderful man” whom she won’t soon forget. “He was an excellent stage manager with strength and control, and a marvelous sense of humor, which got us through many a difficult day,” she confides. Meanwhile, the GH cast is mourning the loss of choreographer Rick Pessagno, who died last month. “We were fortunate enough to work with Rick for the last six Nurses Balls,” shares executive producer Frank Valentini. “He was an incredible guy. He touched all of our lives with his immense talent and will be greatly missed. “…

Y&R’s original executive producer, John Conboy, passed away on January 19 at the age of 83. A four-time Daytime Emmy winner, the prolific producer helmed Y&R from its debut until 1982, when he left to launch CAPITOL for CBS. Conboy also served as SANTA BARBARA’s executive producer and, later, GUIDING LIGHT’s. “It is with a heavy heart and a grateful smile that I called him my friend,” wrote Y&R’s Judith Chapman (Gloria) in a social-media post announcing Conboy’s passing. Added CBS Daytime on Twitter: “He will remain in our hearts forever.”…

GH tapped TV legend Max Gail to assume the role of Sonny’s father, Mike — and Maurice Benard is delighted with their storyline. “It’s beautiful but tragic,” the fan favorite tells In Depth. “This story has scared me more than any other story I’ve done!” That’s because Benard understands the importance of the heavy tale the show is telling regarding Mike’s memory loss. “It’s a feeling in my gut,” he confesses. “This is something everyone can relate to.” Gail, who made his GH debut last week, is best known as BARNEY MILLER’s Wojo, and previously played DAYS OF OUR LIVES’ Merle in 2007. He takes over the role of Sonny’s gambling-addicted dad from Ron Hale (Roger, RYAN’S HOPE), who retired in 2010. (And if you thought Mike’s girlfriend, Rita, looked…

Stunned by the stolen kiss he witnessed, Wyatt makes a bold suggestion to Katie on Monday, February 12. Steffy is taken aback by Hope’s assessment of their relationships with Liam on Tuesday, February 13. Hope delivers a Valentine’s Day gift from Steffy to Liam on Wednesday, February 14. Having learned the identity of Katie’s “mystery man,” Thorne tries to secure a future with her on Thursday, February 15. And on Friday, February 16, Liam and Steffy share a special moment during her ultrasound appointment.…

While most Port Charles locals knew how they felt about Faison, GENERAL HOSPITAL’s Anna was conflicted. As the WSB agent struggled to balance her emotions, portrayer Finola Hughes kept us on the edge of our seats. Facing A Madman Anna seemed to quake at the very idea of Faison, and once she actually saw him with a gun to Finn’s head, Hughes kept her character squirming with a mixture of fear, fury and deep repulsion. The agent seemed to savor the memory of how she’d last mistreated Faison, but when he whispered in her ear, unwelcome tears appeared. With Hughes and Anders Hove playing on decades of chemistry, it became clear that Anna’s issue wasn’t only with Faison but also with the woman she’d been with him. No matter how…

General Hospital In Depth asked... Should Sam ultimately wind up with Drew or Jason? Jason may have barely edged out Drew, but it was so close that we’re just going to call it a draw and let the fans sort things out! This issue’s question... Do you think Nelle and Michael’s baby will bring them together?

OUR TAKE GH Hot Topic: Are You Buying Anna And Finn’s Romance? It’s been an impressive thing to watch the turning of the tide among viewers when it comes to Anna and Finn — and a testament to both the GENERAL HOSPITAL scribes and the actors playing the unlikely romance! Although we were immediately smitten with the adorably awkward and sexy pairing, many viewers balked. Some were still smarting over Hayden dumping Finn. Others simply didn’t buy that Anna would get involved with someone like Finn. But as the two bantered through their fear of commitment while battling a baddie, we saw the audience slowly warming up to the couple. Of course, simply putting them together would be far too undramatic, so the soap has used Anna and Finn’s mutual…

How does Bergman answer fans who accuse Jack of being hypocritical over his anger at Phyllis and Billy’s affair, when Jack once slept with his father’s wife, Jill? “I don’t think somebody has to have lived their life perfectly in order to feel pain,” he counters. “Somebody who has done horrible things can still feel betrayed. Of course, whether Jack takes the high road or not, the audience can argue over that. But I hope the audience hasn’t just seen Jack’s anger but his deep, deep pain!” And there’s another difference. “Jack slept with Jill one night,” reminds Bergman. “It was not months of sleeping around in every place that Jack owned, every place that Jack lived, every place that Jack once felt comfort and security!”…

FYI FYI FYI Keep Up: Follow @RyanPaevey on Twitter. Accentuate The Positive: Working for Hallmark, “the films are happy, so we never have to go to dark mental places,” notes Paevey. What A Tangled Web To Browse: In soaps, says Paevey, “total strangers hate you for no reason — and they’re really vocal about it!” As Handy As They Come: “I’m always helping friends fix their houses or fixing things in my own,” says the down-to-earth former construction guy. Days after shooting Nathan’s death, GENERAL HOSPITAL’s Ryan Paevey is having “mixed emotions” about wrapping up his run in Port Charles. “It’s weird,” he sighs. “I’m so excited about what’s ahead, but the last week is when it really started hitting me. I’d be shooting scenes with somebody and think, ‘This…

Christopher and his wife, Brienne, have recently put down roots in her home state by launching an exercise business near Indianapolis. “We’re working hard to make it a success,” he enthuses of PurposeFit Pilates Studio. “Pilates is something that Brienne has been into for half of her life, and she’s one of the only master trainers in this area. She also teaches cardio, dance and barre.” The actor says that in addition to bringing the popular Los Angeles trend to the Midwest, they are also sharing it on-line. “Three days a week, she streams a workout from the studio that anybody can do at home using a chair or the back of a couch,” he reveals of the affordable subscription service. The duo hope to open a second location by…
