ABC Soaps In Depthの 11/6/2017 の目次

THE YOUNG & THE RESTLESS’ loss has become DAYS OF OUR LIVES’ gain. As first reported by our good friends at TVLine, the NBC soap has tapped Emmy winner Greg Rikaart (ex-Kevin) for a multi-episode arc! Due to DAYS’ accelerated production schedule, the Y&R fan fave will make his debut in the spring of 2018. But details surrounding his character are being kept under wraps. Rikaart was let go from his Y&R gig back in June after 14 years as the reformed Internet predator-turned-computer engineer. He’s made a handful of Genoa City appearances since then, and — good news for Y&R fans! — sources tell TVLine that the DAYS gig won’t preclude the actor from continuing to recur on the CBS soap.…

Paul Leyden (Simon, AS THE WORLD TURNS): He’s now a successful writer/ producer, but this tall, dark and handsome Aussie has the right accent and the right energy, and certainly knows how to play charming! Cameron Mathison (Ryan, AMC): Fans can get their fix of this fave in Hallmark Movies & Mysteries’ MURDER, SHE BAKED franchise or hosting ENTERTAINMENT TONIGHT. But really, who wouldn’t prefer to see him back on ABC Daytime? Shawn Christian (Ross, ONE LIFE TO LIVE): This Midwestern hunk doesn’t have the Aussie accent, but between his gigs on sudsers on all three networks, we can safely say that he knows his way around a soap set! Winsor Harmon (ex-Thorne, B&B): How about a little show swap? Since Rademacher has taken over Harmon’s role, he is now…

It looks as if Billy’s heading for big trouble on Monday, October 23, while that same day finds Chelsea being asked to keep a secret. Billy tries desperately to save his relationship with Phyllis on Tuesday, October 24, but it’s not looking good! Victoria tries doing damage control at Brash & Sassy on Wednesday, October 25, but things don’t go as planned. Dina’s children make a shocking discovery about her on Thursday, October 26. And as things take an unexpected turn between Zack and Abby on Friday, October 27, Scott finds himself being put in his place!…

Ben’s revelation about the “late” Will was a game-changer for DAYS OF OUR LIVES’ almostmarried Sonny and Paul. Going forward, “it’s defi- nitely going to test their relationship,” Freddie Smith (Sonny) confirms, “and just see where everyone stands.” Being the most upstanding of gentlemen, Paul agreed to postpone the wedding while the truth was figured out. But that doesn’t mean that his heart wasn’t breaking ev- ery step of the way. “I think it just shows what an incredible person Paul is,” Smith suggests. “It takes someone who is super strong, confident and secure to handle [a shock] that way.” However, Christopher Sean (Paul) says that his character might not be quite as comfortable with the situation as his fiancé thinks. “It’s not as if he really had a choice”…

When Steve Burton left the role of GENERAL HOSPITAL’s Jason in 2012, it was all about spending time with his wife and kids in Tennessee. He then took on the role of THE YOUNG & THE RESTLESS’ Dylan for three years, after which he realized he needed another dose of family time. Upon leaving that soap, he spend nearly a year enjoying his loved ones (and launching a business, Burton Nutrition, with them) before fi- nally deciding it was time to head back to his other home, Port Charles. Father Figure “Being home, I saw what I’d been missing — and how hard my wife’s job is!” quips the proud father of three (Makena, 14; Jack, 11; and Brooklyn, 3). “I coached, took my daughter to her piano lessons, took…

A member of one of Port Charles core families, this sophisticated lady loved playing men off each other… but did she have what it takes to stick in your memory? Let’s see if you recall her name. We’ll even give you hints. 1. After stealing the Ice Princess, this schemer painted it black and sent it to Port Charles. 2. The Port Charles newcomer convinced Edward Quartermaine to support her syntheticdiamond business. 3. When the sexpot hired Luke to do her dirty work, Laura was sure — rightly! — that it was just a ploy to shag him. 4. The conniver once hid a mink, plane tickets and money at Laura’s apartment in order to frame her. 5. This vixen was frozen to death in Mikkos Cassadine’s ice chamber. see…

The weather is starting to turn chilly, but have no fear! Sam Page (Trey, ALL MY CHILDREN) will soon be melting hearts in Mr. Christmas, a Hallmark Movies & Mysteries flick about a guy named Tom whose job it is to find the perfect presents for his clients’ loved ones. “A former fraternity buddy feels like his girlfriend is becoming distant and wants to lock her into a long-term relationship, so he hires my character to help,” the actor explains. “But it’s pretty clear that they’re not quite right for each other, regardless of the Christmas gift, and in going undercover to research her likes, dislikes, wants and desires, Tom strikes up a friendship with her.” Pine Valley Memories Page says that creating sparks with leading lady Tara Holt was…

When it comes to the Spectra gang on THE BOLD & THE BEAUTIFUL, there’s one member of the tight-knit group who doesn’t quite fit the mold exemplified by her audacious cohorts. Whereas Sally and Shirley are veritable dynamos surrounded by their quirky hangers-on, Coco has the poise and grace of a, well, Forrester. Is it any wonder, then, that she’s ended up working among the Forresters and dating one, too? It’s Coco’s ability to flit between both groups with ease that most appeals to portrayer Courtney Grosbeck. “Being able to work so closely with so many cast members is really phenomenal,” says the actress, who adds that big group scenes are among her favorites to film. “Being on set with everyone and just bouncing off each other’s energy is spectacular.”…

Posting snaps on Instagram, pairing vintage styles with mod looks and taking the bite out of vampires… These are a few of Hayley Erin’s favorite things, according to the way the Mickey Mouse lover behind GENERAL HOSPITAL’s Kiki picked between the choices we gave her. What else did we — and can you — find out about the actress? Read on and find out! Daredevil or ’fraidy cat? “Daredevil.” “First in line” or “fashionably late”? “Fashionably late… for personal things. For work stuff, I’m always early. It’s the weirdest thing. I don’t want to be late. I just can’t help it.” Book or movie? “Book first, then movie.” Cook or clean? “Cook. Definitely not clean. What’s sad is, my true colors are showing right now: I’m dirty and late!” Ball game…

DAYS’ production schedule has allowed Smith to enjoy a dual life. “I get to act and tell stories, and I get to do other projects I’m passionate about,” the entrepreneur offers. “It’s a really cool balance.” Smith and his longtime love, Alyssa Tabit, have traveled extensively as part of their joint business ventures, their favorite trip being to Honolulu. “There was something about that place…” he sighs. “I just felt the best!” While exotic locales have been memorable, Smith has made just as many memories in the heartland. “Every state we’ve gone to has left more of an impression than just the cool restaurant or location that we visited,” he reveals. “It’s been all the people that we’ve met as well as the friendships and partnerships that we’ve created.” That…

The In Depth Story: “I adored her,” sighs Rebecca Staab, who played Amanda’s daughter-in-law, Elizabeth, on the GH spin-off. “We would sit in hair and makeup and talk, even though she was always cameraready upon arrival.” Kin Shriner (Scott) had a connection with Jeffreys that pre-dated GH: She knew his parents. “She used to tell me that she’d said hello to me and my brother when we were in our strollers,” he shares. “She was such a delight — she brought that classy, Old Hollywood movie star [quality] to Amanda.” Lynn Herring (Lucy) has never forgotten the advice Jef freys offered her on motherhood. “She’d regretted adhering to the Hollywood code of keeping a thin profile while pregnant,” she reveals. “Anne advised me to enjoy having my child and not…

Just when it looks as if Bonnie is going to become Mrs. Victor Kiriakis, Justin and Maggie interrupt the wedding on Monday, October 23! By Tuesday, October 24, the walls are closing in on Bonnie as her plot unravels. Wednesday, October 25, finds Justin, Steve and Kayla trying to set Adrienne free. And as Victor is dealing with yet another shock on Friday, October, 27, Justin fills Lucas in on the truth about Bonnie and Adrienne!…

Hot Topic : Could Anna And Finn Be More Than Just Pals ? OUR TAKE GENERAL HOSPITAL has a history of starting love stories with delicious, cantankerous bickering that warms into something else as respect and friendship grows between the players — and that’s what we’ve seen happen ing between the ever-refined Anna and socially awkward Finn! Finola Hughes (Anna) and Michael Easton (Finn) easily pass the chemistry test… but are the characters a good fit, romantically? Like many, we’re still mourning Finn’s loss and rooting for Rebecca Budig to bring Hayden and their baby home. We also wouldn’t mind seeing Anna and Andre continue their dance. That said, if Anna and Finn are drawn to one another, their other relationships automatically become more complicated and, by extension, interesting. Whatever…

In real life, THE YOUNG & THE RESTLESS’ Mishael Morgan tends to weigh her words carefully, always choosing kindness over the occasional cutting remark. “I overthink everything I say — and I have since I was a little kid,” reveals the actress. “My older sister is more of a free spirit, while I tend to be more reserved and analytical about every little thing, which is why I love the opportunity to play some one like Hilary! “I love playing a bitch!” she adds with a laugh. “Hilary says what she wants and does what she wants and is completely unapologetic! But I love that she can do these crazy things and say these in sanely rude things. I can enjoy being in the moment, so I’m having such a…

Macy Alexander The original Sally Spectra’s daughter was nothing like her audacious, outspoken mother, and, like Coco, just wanted to make a good impression on the Forrester family as Thorne’s on-again/off-again sweetheart. Kimberly Fairchild The daughter of Sally’s ex-husband, Adam, this blonde bombshell’s looks belied her innocent persona. The doe-eyed beauty ultimately didn’t stand a chance next to daring rival Amber in the quest for Rick’s heart. Caitlin Ramirez Inheriting a strong sense of right and wrong from her heroic firefighter father, this teenager was wholesome and pure… which is probably why her dad, Hector, didn’t want to see her get “burned” by the Forresters! Hope Logan This apple really tried to fall far from the tree by not repeating the same mistakes her mom, Brooke, had made. She ended…

Q: Which famous sporting event in history would you love to have been able to witness live and why? Brytni Sarpy (Valerie, GH) “I was a big [Chicago] Bulls fan back in the Michael Jordan/ Dennis Rodman era, when I was a kid. To be at one of those [NBA] finals games would have been epic! But you know what I can’t wait for? We’re going to be doing the Olympics [in 2028] in L.A. and I want to go to that. It’s going to be crazy!” Joshua Morrow (Nick, Y&R) “There are a million of them! I guess I would pick when the Oakland A’s played the Los Angeles Dodgers in the World Series in ’88. I was just obsessed with the Dodgers and A’s, so to have seen that…

THE BOLD & THE BEAUTIFUL Quinn went off on Katie after catching her in bed with Wyatt but was also upset with Eric for keeping the relationship a secret. Appalled by his wife’s reaction, Eric visited Katie to make sure she was okay, while Mateo helped work out Quinn’s tension with a massage session. Sheila tried bonding with Pam over their shared interests. Ridge prodded Liam about why he’d ousted Bill from Spencer Publications, but the young man turned the tables by interrogating Ridge about his feelings for Brooke. Steffy told Bill that she’d help convince Liam to erase the incriminating audiotape, but only if Bill dropped his vendetta against his son. No sooner had Bill appeased his daughter-in-law, however, than he and Justin conspired to give Liam a taste…

The In Depth Story: “Even though he has a tough exterior, Bill is very vulnerable, and Steffy is the one person who can really get through to him,” explains Jacqueline MacInnes Wood of her alter ego’s affinity for the deposed tycoon. “She has always been the one who can talk straight with him, make him look at things differently.” Having been dumped by Brooke, Bill may be starting to see Steffy in a whole new light — which wouldn’t be good news for Liam! “They had an attraction before,” Wood says. “Don [Diamont, Bill] and I have always tried to play that [as an undercurrent], keeping a hint of it in our scenes. So I’m really excited to see where this may go. But perhaps someone ought to remind Steffy…

PSST! The In Depth Story: When the GH vet moved his family back to the mainland from Hawaii earlier this year, there was hope we’d see even more of Jax in Port Charles. And we did, for a spell. “We came back in January so my wife could be closer to the factory for her clothing line, Mahiku,” he sets up. “We weren’t shopping me around the daytime shows. I was just going out for auditions, and I was working pretty much non-stop. It was GH, then it was HAWAII FIVE-O [where he recurs as prosecutor Robert Coughlin], then back on GH. There wasn’t much of a break in between.” During his last visit to Port Charles in April, however, Sonny had Jax deported… and that was that. “I hadn’t…

After reclaiming the Spencer CEO chair from Liam, Bill makes his son a surprising offer of employment on Monday, October 23. Realizing exactly how much he has on the line, Mateo bucks Sheila’s edicts and defects to Quinn’s side on Tuesday, October 24. A nervous Charlie warns Pam about her burgeoning friendship with Sheila on Wednesday, October 25. Sheila’s plan to break up Eric and Quinn takes an unexpected turn on Thursday, October 26. And Shirley offers Sally some unsolicited advice about how to land Liam on Friday, October 27.…

After THE YOUNG & THE RESTLESS’ Cane received divorce papers from Lily, he flew solo for about half a minute… then invited Juliet to move in with him! Is she planning an all-out attack to win his heart? Not so fast, says the beauty’s portrayer, Laur Allen. “It’s too soon to tell if Juliet is falling in love with Cane. But she definitely isn’t shying away from exploring her emotions toward him.” And the chance for a Cane and Juliet pairing has never been greater, now that Lily has given her hubby the heave-ho! Allen concedes that her alter ego and Cane have become a lot closer, not only because Cane insisted that his babymama move in with him but because Juliet has become his No. 1 cheerleader. But there’s…

Sharing The Credit ▪ To realistically portray Finn’s addiction and detox, GENERAL HOSPITAL’s Michael Easton tapped into his personal vault of experiences. “I had a good friend who did that lowrent rehab, where you go through withdrawal with them,” he confesses. “It had been a long time — 25 years! — but it came back clearly in that moment. So it was difficult. I’m glad it’s over.” That said, the actor enjoyed digging into the story. “It was a great challenge, good fun, and you are only as good as your dance partner. And I was very fortunate to share a lot of those scenes with Rebecca Budig (ex-Hayden),” raves the soap-hopper, who’s now clashing with Finola Hughes (Anna) and was previously paired with the likes of Michelle Stafford (Nina),…

Phyllis: Way back when she was still a redhead (played by Michelle Stafford, now GENERAL HOSPITAL’s Nina), Phyllis introduced herself to the locals by claiming Christine’s fiancé, Danny, was her babydaddy! In reality, she’d drugged the pop star after getting herself knocked up by another guy and altering son Daniel’s paternity test! Jill: The former beautician is the original vixen (played at the time by Brenda Dickson). Her affair with wealthy Phillip launched a feud with his wife, Katherine, that lasted decades. In fact, one of Jill’s more egregious schemes was deliberately knocking Katherine off the wagon before plotting to drive her insane! Chloe: The pint-sized beauty (Elizabeth Hendrickson, Maggie, AMC) went off the deep end when she murdered Adam. But she was a vixen long before that. She broke…

Double Trouble GH Emily had sur vived Helena’s curse but knew that she’d never truly be free until ding-dong, the wicked witch was gone. Since true love Nikolas was in jail, she asked his lookalike, Connor, to impersonate him to lure his murderous grandma out of hiding. However, upon learning the details of the prince’s life, Connor decided that he truly wanted everything that was his, including Emily! You wouldn’t think this story could get much darker than Connor raping his doppelganger’s lover and forcing her to kill him in self-defense, but it does: At that point, out came a gun-toting Helena, who’d eagerly have done away with Emily, had Lucky not taken the bullet for her. Oh Well AMC Doing the standard doppelganger thing and impersonating her beautiful sister, Natalie, was…

Who makes you laugh? “My husband, my friends, Melissa McCarthy, Will Ferrell, Pauly Shore, Kristen Wiig… I could go on!” What are your favorite foods? “Grilled artichokes or fresh sourdough bread.” What was the last gift that you bought for yourself? “A bright blue Michael Kors purse. I splurge on accessories, because if you take care of them, you can have them for a long time!” What’s the last song you caught yourself singing in the shower? “Something from the Hamilton soundtrack. Maybe ‘Helpless.’” What’s the one thing your husband thinks you’re less than perfect at? “Driving. I’m a nervous driver… and L.A. drivers are nuts! Yikes.” Who is your favorite singer? “Too many to pick one… I love music! Chance The Rapper, Adele, Lin-Manuel Miranda and Ed Sheeran are…

Dating a rich, handsome guy ain’t always all it’s cracked up to be… just ask GENERAL HOSPITAL’s Nelle! By taking the blonde from ticked at her beau to energized by boss Nina’s advice, Chloe Lanier earned herself this week’s Gold Star! The Cold Shoulder Talk about turning on a dime! Thinking Nina was arriving at the office, Nelle was all smiles… only to have her demeanor go from warm to chilly the second she realized Michael was the one who’d gotten off the elevator. Her attempt to appear detached failed miserably, eventually leading Nelle to blast him for seeming to judge her. No matter what defense he mounted, she countered by twisting his words. This was not the sweet girl who fawns over her guy, but someone who, frankly, bore…

When we last checked in with DAYS OF OUR LIVES’ Freddie Smith, he was thrilled with Sonny’s determination to stake his claim on the Kiriakis empire. Having bested Uncle Deimos in those ef for ts, the young man came out on top. “He’s worked hard, feels victorious and is really happy for the family and the business,” the actor says. “But this whole thing with Ben [claiming that the widower’s husband, Will, is alive] has created a distraction. Son ny was going to have the perfect marriage to Paul and run the company, but when you have a huge life event, it can throw you off track.” Who Said Life Was Fair? Not only has cousin Brady begun gunning for power, but Sonny’s also got fiancé Paul sitting with his…
