ABC Soaps In DepthJune 6, 2016的目錄

The In Depth Story: While Hughes has been behind the camera before, she’s quite eager to gain more experience in that department. “I would love to direct television,” she tells Soaps In Depth. So when given the opportunity to shadow a director on Freeform’s THE FOSTERS, she jumped — even though that meant missing the annual lunch. “This was my second time shadowing, and it’s been amazing,” says Hughes, who previously directed a short film and most recently, the supernatural indie series CYPRESS BAYOU, which doesn’t have a home yet. (She was slated to direct the indie feature Byrd And The Bees last summer, but funding fell through.) The actress certainly isn’t the first daytimer to step behind the camera. Her TV daughter, Kimberly Mc-Cullough (Robin), will soon direct her…

Besides Robin and Emma, look for a Nurses Ball appearance by Drew Cheetwood’s Milo, who has been off-screen since the actor relocated his family to Michigan late last year. “One hospital I don’t mind checking into,” Cheetwood shared on Instagram when he returned to the GH set in mid-April to tape his scenes. We can’t wait to see what Magic Milo & The Magic Wands have in store for this year’s performance!…

Ian Buchanan’s Duke pays Anna another ghostly visit on Friday, May 27, in a rather bittersweet scene. As Buchanan previews for In Depth, their interaction is “a way of him setting her free to move on with her life.” Of course, Buchanan says that “if I came through once a month to scare the crap out of Anna, that would be lovely! Or maybe I can be an apparition in my son’s life!” That’s not to say that Buchanan wouldn’t mind if Duke somehow returned from the dead. “All they have to do is breathe a little life into him, which only requires you write a little life into him,” the popular actor quips, adding that he would even play a new role. “I’m an actor!”…

The women in Deimos’ life — that would be Kate and Nicole, for those not keeping track — duke it out on Monday, May 23. Jennifer fights temptation on Tuesday, May 24, and Jack is on hand to help his widow battle her demons. Meanwhile, Kayla gets help as she searches for Joey and Jade on Wednesday, May 25. But it might be Steve and John who figure out where the runaways actually have been hiding out on Friday, May 27! Can anyone convince the teens to come back to Salem?…

The folks at GH want to keep some of the looks which will be donned by your Port Charles favorites under wraps until the big day, but we got a few details on these stunning outfits! And for more Nurses Ball fashion, pick up the next issue, on sale Monday, June 6!…

We’re used to seeing marriages unravel on THE BOLD & THE BEAUTIFUL weeks, months or sometimes even days after the “I dos,” but now that the truth is out about Sasha’s real connection to the Avant family, will Vivienne be able to forgive and forget? “It’s not news to anybody in America that there are children born out of wedlock, or ‘on the side,’ as someone might say,” notes Obba Babatundé (Julius). “That’s not really the story here, so much as ‘How is it going to affect everyone else?’” Vivienne famously defied Julius on Rick and Maya’s wedding day last year, proving she doesn’t always agree with her contentious hubby. Then again, says her portrayer, Anna Maria Horsford, “She’s a very traditional lady. She’s always felt that it was important…

Long before he was GH’s new doc, Matt Cohen (Griffin) was a SUPERNATURAL patriarch, recurring as a younger version of John Winchester on The CW series. Cohen regularly attends SUPERNATURAL conventions and has even been known to take the stage with co-star Rob Benedict (Chuck Shurley/Carver Edlund/Nar r a-tor) to jam. “Rob has a band called Louden Swain that plays con ventions on Saturday nights, and he invites the cast to cover a song, or sing one of their originals,” Cohen explains. “I don’t sing. But Rob is one of my best buddies in the whole world. So I have a glass of wine and get out there and try to do it. Does it sound good? Absolutely not! But the fans enjoy it, and they give so much to…

FYIFYIFYI Birthday: July 15. Born: San Fernando, Trinidad. Raised: Toronto, Canada. Words Of Wisdom: Morgan says that there’s no shortage of people offering tips on how to take care of her son. “People are definitely quick to offer advice, but they’ve also been very respectful. What’s funny is most of the time their advice is not to listen to people who give advice!” THE YOUNG & THE RESTLESS’ Mishael Morgan and her alter ego, Hilary, are both soaring these days, although the reasons couldn’t be more different. Hilary has fi-nally managed to grab a seat at the table of Genoa City’s power players, thanks to hubby Devon’s billions. Morgan, on the other hand, has been glowing ever since she gave birth to her son, Niam, more than eight months ago.…

THE BOLD & THE BEAUTIFUL’s Zende may have traded in Nicole for her best friend (and sister!) Sasha, but there’s no denying that there are still sparks between the Forrester interns. Good friends in real life, Rome Flynn and Reign Edwards weigh in on their on-screen chemistry and their offscreen antics! Soaps In Depth: Nicole and Zende’s first kiss… give us the inside scoop. Reign Edwards: Well, I was actually sick that day, so I was scared he was going to be freaked out about that. But it worked out, and he was super cool about it. Rome Flynn: It was kind of awkward, because we had to make sure we did it a certain way. Edwards: Oh, yeah. The director tells you whether they want the kiss to be…

FYIFYIFYI Tweet Him At: @VincentIrizarry. Small-Screen Dreams: Irizarry would love to guest-star on RAY DONOVAN or HOUSE OF CARDS. Moonlighting: “I sell real estate with Keller Williams,” the actor reveals. “I’m a broker-agent.” In His Car’s Trunk: “I have golf clubs in there,” Irizarry says. “I try to hit the driving range at least once a week.” While most folks in ALL MY CHILDREN’s Pine Valley were baffled by the actions of dastardly David Hayward, his portrayer, Vincent Irizarry, always knew what made him tick. It’s that ability to get inside a villain’s head that is now making his portrayal of DAYS OF OUR LIVES’ master manipulator, Deimos, so compelling. Stabbed In The Back “The character’s backstory is wonderful — here’s a guy that was imprisoned for 30 years for…

In the wake of his breakup with Nina, GENERAL HOSPITAL’s Franco went into an emotional tailspin which left him uncertain of who he was, but left us convinced that portrayer Roger Howarth was deserving of this week’s Gold Star. Deny, Deny, Deny! Caught in the bushes by Jason and Sam, Franco seemed genuinely befuddled by the accusation that he’d been spying on them. With eye rolls and impatient stares, Franco casually dropped barbs and even sang a rhyme denying his guilt. Glimpses of anger peeked through, but he seemed to be resisting the urge to engage, going so far as to back away when things got physical. After letting Sam get ahold of his backpack, Franco nonchalantly revealed that he’d been sketching, even admitting that he’d been having a hard…

DAYS OF OUR LIVES Steve headed to Los Angeles to find Joey. Fynn found an antidote for the virus and offered Adriana a job at the hospital. Victor anonymously received information about Summer’s past. Andre agreed to back up Aiden’s story if the newly returned man helped get him out of jail. Hope wasn’t sure how to feel about Aiden, but she did kiss him… which Rafe witnessed. Rafe then turned to his father for advice but ended up giving some, as Eduardo was being haunted by his past. Deimos asked Kate to sign a prenuptial agreement. Later, he and Nicole heated things up! Two women want the same man. Yeah, this is definitely about to get ugly!…

The latest comings and goings — and how they will change your shows! The In Depth Story: It looks as if Sabrina is in some pretty hot water from the moment we catch up with her! “She deserves it,” Castillo admits. “She knew what she was getting herself into! But at that point, she felt like she had nothing left in Port Charles, and there was a chance to give her baby a father who has always loved her and stayed true to her… or so she thinks.” While Castillo was ready to jump into action after four months off, she was crushed to learn of Jeffrey Vincent Parise’s exit as Carlos. “I was in the makeup chair, and they were filling me in on what I’d missed,” she recalls.…

When Michael finally gets the answers to his burning questions on Monday, May 23, he may regret having ever asked them! Someone meets a grim end when a body is found on Thursday, May 26. Did the victim die of natural causes, or might it have been murder? (Given that the corpse was found in Port Charles, we’re pretty sure that’s a rhetorical question… but hey, you never know!) An investigation gets under way on Tuesday, May 31, and it sounds as if crucial evidence will come to light on Wednesday, June 1! Perhaps when Jason and Sam wind up working together on Thursday, June 2, they’ll crack the case!…

Sasha offers some quid pro quo relationship advice to her father on Monday, May 23. Nothing gets left unsaid on Tuesday, May 24, when Liam and Quinn come face to face in the interrogation room at the police department. After much deliberation, Liam seals Quinn’s fate on Wednesday, May 25. An overjoyed Maya and Rick reveal their newborn’s name to friends and family on Thursday, May 26. Maya isn’t ready to take Sasha at her word, so on Friday, May 27, she tries to find out if her new sister is really pregnant… or just playing Zende!…

Who would have thought that Abigail, the precious daughter of DAYS OF OUR LIVES’ Jennifer, would grow up to be someone who could douse her former fiancé in lighter fluid and set him on fire? Yet, that’s exactly what happened, and some would say the guy had it coming! But what does her shrink think? “Dr. Robinson truly feels that she’s dealing with a woman who has some very serious problems,” offers the character’s portrayer, Anne-Marie Johnson. “Abby’s definitely her most challenging and sympathetic patient.” Despite being weeks into in-patient therapy, things aren’t turning around as fast for Abigail as her husband would have hoped… and there’s not a darn thing he can do about it! “That’s the natural conflict between Dr. Robinson and Chad: He’s used to being the…

Working It Out I’m enjoying Lulu and Dante rediscovering their love and commitment. This is such a good story for young people to be watching, and they’re playing it perfectly. Dianne Cantor via Soaps In Depth Facebook page Second Chances Very much enjoying the possibility of Laura and Kevin together. They have a lot of chemistry. A new older couple would be good to have, along with the younger ones. Suzie Ortolani Sweemer via Soaps In Depth Facebook page A Mobster Is A Mobster! If GENERAL HOSPITAL won’t eliminate the Mob element on the show, at least stop pretending all mobsters are horrible, murdering monsters except Sonny, Jason and Duke, who are portrayed as heroes and the heart and soul of PC. The overwhelming hypocrisy of everything to do with…

Lisa LoCicero (Olivia) often leaves the studio without “scrubbing off” her heavy television makeup. And FYI, it’s not a good look! “Going out into the world in soap makeup, you look mentally ill,” she contends. “It does not look like you’re going to a party.” But nothing beats the time the actress had to dash out between scenes to pick up her son Luke, now 14. “This was back during the [2010] bus crash,” she sets up. “I had on a hospital gown and bracelet and was in crazy makeup with bruises, wild, stringy hair and a cut lip. I couldn’t take it off, because I had to go back to work. So I just ran over to his elementary school and grabbed him offthe playground.” Luke and his pals…

Choosing your child’s name can be one of the most thrilling and yet challenging things for a new parent to do. However, Morgan says the selection of Niam was a bit more pragmatic than people might realize. “I wanted his name to start with an N because my husband’s name starts with an N,” she shares. “And we wanted something unique but not weird, something that he’d be able to pull offin daily conversation without having to repeat it 20 million times. My husband asked me if I liked the name Liam, and I thought that was nice.” Still, the new mom didn’t want to actually name their son until after he was born. “At the hospital, every time he’d cry out, I felt like saying, ‘Oh, Niam, it’s okay.’…

Chad Brannon (ex-Zander, GENERAL HOSPITAL) knows how to make himself heard, and he’s been having one heck of a time doing it for the last decade. “I’ve been really busy and really blessed to have a fruitful career in voiceovers,” he says. “For the last two years, I was the promo voice for AMERICAN IDOL, and now that that’s ended, I’m going to be doing the promos for BONES and AMERICAN GRIT.” Hear Ye, Hear Ye He’s also been lending his tones to CBS’ NCIS and NCIS: NEW ORLEANS as well as the majority of the shows on the History Channel. He was even the live announcer for the recent iHeart Radio Awards on TNT. “What do I love about this work? There’s no makeup!” he laughs. “I approach it…

… or does Aaron — the adorable, knitting chef — seem too good to be true? Kristina and Sonny bought Aaron’s wideeyed enthusiasm, but we weren’t convinced. Perhaps it’s not fair, but considering Kristina’s history with guys (which is nearly as problematic as that of mom Alexis), that literal run-in outside Morgan’s hospital room and Aaron’s bubbling excitement over Sonny’s legit businesses felt suspicious to us. We don’t care if Kristina dates guys or gals, we just hope she doesn’t wind up getting her heart broken yet again!…

Irizarry may be a born and bred New Yorker, and he’ll never give up rooting for the Mets, but he is finding that life in California has much to offer. “At the end of a week, I like going with [my girlfriend, costume designer] Donna [Petraca] to sit at an outdoor place somewhere,” he confides. “We’ll enjoy a happy hour, maybe have a glass of wine and an appetizer.” On his days off, Irizarry likes to hit one of the many local museums or head to the beaches of Malibu. “One time, we went to Paradise Cove in January and sat outside in these Adirondack chairs,” he sighs wistfully. “It was like, ‘Where else are you gonna be able to relax, have a glass of wine, look at the ocean…

THE YOUNG & THE RESTLESS Billy and Phyllis made love. Afterward, an ashamed Phyllis fled. When Jack quizzed his wife about her feelings for Billy, she promised that their marriage would be her main focus! Victoria realized that Billy and Phyllis may have hooked up and comforted herself by jumping into bed with Travis! Stitch was devastated when Max was taken to a long-term care facility. Vowing to stay sober, Nikki decided to divorce Victor. Adam sabotaged his father’s plot to be released early, and then renewed his wedding vows with Chelsea. After reading Sage’s journal, Nick wanted Adam arrested! Adam realized that Victor was framing him for murder. Sharon told Mariah the truth about Sully’s parentage. One woman makes a risky decision in order to try and save her…

Mother’s Day arrived a week early for THE YOUNG & THE RESTLESS’ Melissa Ordway (Abby): The actress and her husband, Justin Gaston (ex-Ben, DAYS OF OUR LIVES), welcomed their first child on April 30. “We are overjoyed to announce the birth of our daughter, Olivia Christine,” they shared on social media, posting a precious shot of their napping newborn. GENERAL HOSPITAL alum Scott Clifton (ex-Dillon; now B&B’s Liam) is also a new parent! The actor’s wife, Nicole, delivered son Ford Robert earlier this month. “Born Friday, May 6, at 7:02 in the evening. 7 lbs., 3 oz.,” Clifton captioned a sweet shot of his little one on Instagram. “Quiet, curious and beautiful like his mother.” Congratulations to both families!…

For the first time in years, Robin will attend the Nurses Ball! And this makes sense, given the gala is closely tied to the history of Kimberly Mc-Cullough’s beloved character. “The ball came about because of the storyline we were doing with Stone dying of AIDS,” she recounts to In Depth of GH’s groundbreaking mid-’90s tale about a teenaged Robin and her boyfriend. “The Nurses Ball was a forum to talk about AIDS with other members of the community. Robin and Stone performed [the death scene from] Romeo And Juliet at the first ball [in 1994]. He died the year after that, and then the next year, Robin was the keynote speaker and had to be carried off the stage” by Jason when she broke down after revealing that she…

After Nicol as Bechtel (Spencer) wrapped the first season of Disney Channel’s STUCK IN THE MIDDLE in early May, the little cutie clocked back in at GH. Having spent the past few months offscreen, Spencer returns to the canvas on Friday, June 1, and Monday, June 3, for what Bechtel calls a “very crazy storyline.” Spencer will also cross paths with his pal Emma, who’s back in town for a visit. “We haven’t worked together in a really long time, so I’m super-excited,” adds Brooklyn Rae Silzer (Emma). “I miss him so much.”…

As Adam prepares to do battle on Monday, May 23, Victoria makes an unsettling discovery about a member of her family that same day. Nick has some tough words for Victor on Tuesday, May 24, while Chelsea makes a risky decision in order to protect her family. Fans of Chrishell Stause (Amanda, ALL MY CHILDREN) won’t want to miss the episode airing on Wednesday, May 25, when she debuts as Bethany! And on Friday, May 27, Luca plays games with Victoria!…

preview Maybe the fact that GENERAL HOSPITAL’s Avery was conceived in a mausoleum and kidnapped by a madwoman moments after being born should have been an indication that nothing would be easy for the tot. Since then, an epic battle has waged over custody of Sonny and Ava’s daughter and this week, that fight gets ugly! Or maybe we should say uglier. Want details? Read on! Ava Wants Her Child Back! Although Avery is currently staying with Sonny and Carly, headwriter Shelly Altman reminds us that, “Ava has full custody of the little girl. Avery has been staying with Sonny because Ava felt she was in danger, plus she needed to tend to Kiki after she was shot on the docks. But now, Ava is quite ready to just pluck…

Lexi Ainsworth (Kristina) was “a little nervous” about how GENERAL HOSPITAL viewers would react to her character questioning her sexuality, let alone falling for her older, married, female professor! “I know GH has an older following,” Ainsworth explains. “In fact, my grandma watches the show, and she doesn’t like to talk about it. ‘Okay Grandma, that’s fine.’ But it’s mostly been pretty good feedback. I’m shocked and happy about that. People write in and say they’re going through the same thing, and that’s the best part about doing what I do. It’s definitely rewarding.” The actress feels lucky to get to explore the “gray area” of sexuality in this “amazing” storyline… but planting a kiss on Ashley Jones (Parker) was another story! “I got to make out with a pregnant…

Sonny Corinthos has been the top dog in Port Charles for decades now, but many have tried to take him down over the years. Which of these characters never took aim at the mob boss? see page 96 for answer key gh singled out answers (from page 46) B. For all those Helena targeted over the years, Sonny was never at the top her hit list.…

YOU WIN SOME... GH’s Obrecht didn’t get fired… YOU LOSE SOME … but she was demoted to the records room! To paraphrase a song from The Sound Of Music, “How do you solve a problem like Julexis?” The couple has a huge following of active, vocal fans… and yet it would appear that their relationship is not actually viable at this point. After all, Alexis can only turn a blind eye to what is going on right under her nose for so long… unless, of course, she is willing to compromise her principals for the rest of her (married) life. Julian will, of course, attempt to claim that he only went back to the dark side in order to help Ava, but it seems unlikely Alexis will adapt a forgiveand-forget…

Ask anyone who knows him, and they’ll tell you: Folks don’t come much nicer, funnier or more handsome than GENERAL HOSPITAL’s John J. York (Mac). Here, the long-running fan favorite sits down with Soaps In Depth and tackles the tough questions. Ready or not, here we go! Angel food cake or devil’s food cake? “Angel food cake. It reminds me of the desserts my mom used to make.” Disney movies or horror movies? “Of course, Disney. I work for Disney! What do you think, I’m stupid? Seriously, Disney, because it reminds me of all the wonderful memories we had of my daughter, Schyler, growing up. All we did was go to Disney movies, starting with The Little Mermaid.” Vampire lover or vampire slayer? “Vampire lover. I’m for anything with the…

Q: What TV show would you love to do a guest-starring gig on? Chad Duell (Michael, GH) “I’d like to play a character that is not an English dude on GAME OF THRONES. Maybe a prince from some sort of province.” Melissa Ordway (Abby, Y&R) “THE BIG BANG THEORY! That would be so fun!” Ryan Paevey (Nathan, GH) “GAME OF THRONES! I’m a fan. Sometimes when the series is running, I have people over to watch it, and we all get dressed up. It’s a good time, especially if you’re a fan of the show.” Marc Anthony Samuel (Felix, GH) “I’d love to do a guest gig on THE ORIGINALS, VAMPIRE DIARIES, AGENTS OF SHIELD, ARROW and anything funny by the people who made PARKS AND RECREATION. I like sci-fi,…

THE BOLD & THE BEAUTIFUL Wrongly believing Zende only had eyes for Sasha, Nicole was overcome with emotion when he made a gesture that proved how much he loved her. Julius gloated to Sasha about this fact, but she warned her dad that she wouldn’t relinquish her man so easily. Steffy was horrified when Quinn showed up and asked for help in earning Liam and Wyatt’s forgiveness. Instead, the whack job was led away in handcuffs. Brooke’s plan to make inroads with her sister backfired in a big way — at the worst possible moment! Instead of being grateful to Brooke, Katie was enraged with her. Thomas was shocked to finally learn that he was actually the father of Caroline’s baby. Caroline then begged Thomas to honor Ridge’s request that…
