ABC Soaps In DepthAugust 31, 2015的目錄

The In Depth Story: ABC Entertainment Group president Paul Lee tells Soaps In Depth exclusively that Carlivati did “a fabulous job. He’s been a fan of the show for many, many years. And it’s been a wonderful few years with him. I know that the team is looking forward to figuring out the next act, but this last act Ron gets huge credit for. I want to thank him.” The incoming scribes were both a part of Carlivati’s team when he was ONE LIFE TO LIVE’s top scribe, and most recently had shared duties at Y&R before Charles Pratt Jr. took over last September. A source tells In Depth that Carlivati only had six months left on his contract, but there was a clause allowing ABC to release him early…

Congratulations to GH’s Michelle Stafford (Nina) and Teresa Castillo (Sabrina), who have both announced that their families are expanding! Castillo, who is due in mid-January, tells Soaps In Depth that she and her husband, Aaron Shane, are “super excited to be having a boy after having had a girl. We get to experience both worlds!” Daughter Victoria is 14 months old. Meanwhile, single mom Stafford shared on Facebook that “a surrogate is carrying my own biological child for me,” just as she had with 5-year-old Natalia. “Yes, I am happy. Yes, I am lucky. Yes, I am crazy. But honestly, there is nothing better.”…

Lisa LoCicero’s maternity leave has ended, which means Olivia returns to Port Charles with one heck of a quandary. “She’s trying to decide if she’s going to tell Julian that their son is actually alive,” LoCicero previews to In Depth. “I’m getting my head around how much she must fear the idea of being Mobadjacent with a baby. It’s a major league fear! She feels that if she could trust that Julian was really out of the Mob, there might be a chance that she could have her whole family together.” But during Olivia’s time away, she hasn’t been witness to just how much of an emotional hit their son’s “death” was to Julian. “I’m sure she’ll see him as more of a human being, and it’ll really break her…

It was a surprise to many when THE BOLD & THE BEAUTIFUL’s Deacon went through with his marriage to Quinn earlier this year even when his old flame, Brooke, let it be known that he still had a chance with her. Now that the honeymoon phase has ended and real life has set in, will Deacon come to regret not exploring what might have been with the blonde? “She’s always lingering in Deacon’s mind,” acknowledges his portrayer, Sean Kanan, “but when things are going well for him and Quinn, it’s probably easier to not have Brooke at the forefront of his mind.” Quinn, however, wasn’t quite so cavalier about her husband’s friendship with Brooke when she recently caught them palling around. If her jealousy ends up getting the better of…

… or do you find it hard to take GH’s Morgan seriously as a suspect in Silas’ murder? Sure, Morgan wanted to prevent Silas from telling Kiki about his relationship with her “aunt,” but enough to kill him? We haven’t exactly gotten the impression that Morgan and Kiki have the kind of love that would inspire that sort of passion. Then again, being hot-headed and impulsive does run in the family!…

FYIFYIFYI Birth Name: Jason Craig Thompson. Birthday: November 20. Birthplace: St. Albert, Alberta, Canada. Did You Know? Thompson never flew on a plane until he was 18 years old! The Name Game: Thompson named one of his pooches Vedder after the Pearl Jam lead vocalist. Make ‘Em Laugh! “I love the movie Superbad,” he admits. “It’s just hilarious to me. I could watch that movie and laugh every time. As far as old school, I’d go with Caddyshack or Dumb And Dumber.” If you think you know GENERAL HOSPITAL’s Patrick Drake, portrayer Jason Thompson might actually beg to differ. After all, despite having played the sexy surgeon since first he was introduced back in 2005, the actor himself feels as if there’s much about Patrick that even he doesn’t know.…

If Kin Shriner (Scott) is ever looking to earn a little cash on the side, Lynn Herring (Lucy) believes that her pal has a future in journalism! “Have you ever heard Kin talk about being a cub reporter?” Herring asks. “When we travel, we try to outdo each other when we meet strangers with how much information we can find out about them.” According to Herring, Shriner has a gift for quizzing peo-ple and finding out just about every thing there is to know about them. “You have to be genuinely interested in them, and he is. He will pick apart stories and get to the bottom of why the person does what they do. I’ve seen him quiz somebody for a half hour on the most mundane job, and…

FYIFYIFYI Birthday: July 31. Birthplace: Fes, Morocco. Model Behavior: Pernas entered showbiz via the catwalk after being scouted by a modeling agent. “I was always introverted, and not very comfortable in my own skin,” she reveals. “Modeling helped me get out of that!” Growing up in a scholarly household in souther n California, THE YOUNG & THE RESTLESS’ Sofia Pernas (Marisa) says that her father — a physicist who graduated from Berkley — wasn’t exactly thrilled when she revealed her intention to become an actress. “He was always telling me to pursue more erudite directions,” she reveals with a laugh. “My mom was my hero — she still is my hero. She battled my father. When he said, ‘She should do this,’ my mom was like, ‘You know what? This…

When the episode aired in which Nicole called out Maya for having formerly been her brother, Myron, the social media world went nuts. “That day was so crazy,” Edwards recalls. My twitter blew up! I actually wasn’t in L.A. that day. I was visiting with family, and I walked into my uncle’s house and saw my face on the TV screen because [ENTERTAINMENT TONIGHT] was covering it! It was actually one of my favorite scenes to shoot, because the build-up and anticipation made it such a big moment.”…

Welcome to WINTERTHORNE, the whimsical new Internet drama from Michael Caruso, creator of the Emmy-nominated DEVANITY. “It’s got all of the traditional soap elements that audiences love,” Caruso explains to Soaps In Depth, “but with a fantastical, gothic take — it’s about a very powerful family of candy makers that is controlled by its women.” In anticipation of the series’ premiere on Thursday, August 27, over at www.winterthorne.com, In Depth takes you behind the scenes!…

Whether you think of Sonny Corinthos as a good father or the godfather, we can all agree that he’s one of GENERAL HOSPITAL’s sexiest sinners! Now, his popular portrayer, the one, the only Maurice Benard, gives Soaps In Depth readers a glimpse into his workaday world! MY FAVORITE DAYS AT WORK ARE THE ONES: When I get to joke around with my favorite actors and the crew. It’s just like high school. MY FIRST DAY ON THE SET, I REMEMBER THINKING: Should I listen to the [director’s] note to talk louder or not? Before I started, I had already told the producers, “Don’t ask me to talk louder.” On ALL MY CHILDREN they had me do that [as Nico], and it ruins your acting. I said, “I’ll do the show,…

Serena tried to save Caroline’s life. Nicole and Xander had a tense confrontation. Brady tried coming up with a solution to his Theresa problem, even as the brunette realized she could use Xander to her advantage. Eve, meanwhile, secretly stirred up trouble for Jennifer. Roman was furious when he figured out JJ’s intentions. Kate confronted Rafe about his feelings for Hope, while Paul confronted Will about his lies. And after taunting Chad with their engagement, Ben told Abigail he wanted them to move away from Salem! Someone is contemplating a change. But are they doing it for the right reasons?…

The In Depth Story: The actress was due on August 17 — which just so happens to be the birthday of her TV love interest, Bryton James (Devon) — but a little birdie tells us that the show had been busily shooting extra scenes in recent weeks so that the couple can continue to be seen on screen while Morgan takes a few weeks off. As for the star’s maternity leave, she tells In Depth that she’s striving for a balance. “I don’t want to take too much time off, but I do want to take it all in and enjoy that whole bonding experience with my baby,” she smiles. “I want to keep my momentum going workwise, so I’ll probably take a couple of weeks off and then jump…

The latest comings and goings — and how they will change your shows! The In Depth Story: “I’ve been looking everywhere for my middle child,” Nancy Lee Grahn (Alexis) jokes to Soaps In Depth. “In the closets, under the couch cushions. Thanks to [executive producer] Frank [Valentini], she’s been located and is being sent immediately back to Port Charles and into her lovin’ mama’s arms. The Davis girls are back together where they belong!” It is indeed a welcome return. Ainsworth played Kristina from 2009-’11, at which time the character went off to college. Upon Kristina’s return from Yale six months later, she had a new face, with recast Lindsey Morgan in the role and a new career, starring in her own reality series, MOB PRINCESS. Although Morgan did a…

Summer hiatus is almost over for GH’s Finola Hughes (Anna), who took two months off from the soap. “I will be back soon and will catch you up,” she told her Twitter followers. Back in early June, Anna left Port Charles to bring Duke’s ashes home to Scotland. In the days leading up to her trip to the land of HIGHLANDER, Anna was being haunted by the ghost of Carlos, whom she’d murdered in cold blood to avenge Duke’s death. GH is remaining tight-lipped on whether Hughes’ return to the canvas means Jeffrey Vincent Parise will be back as Carlos or if we’ll see Grayson McCouch reappear as Anna’s protector (and potential love interest), Sloane… but we certainly hope to see their handsome faces!…

THE YOUNG & THE RESTLESS’ Abby ignored one big dating rule — never become romantically involved with a guy who’s slept with your mom — and now she’s paying the price! Certainly, the beauty has found her patience worn thin by beau Stitch’s patronizing attitude, with him treating her more like a teenager while he has thought-provoking discussions with Ashley! “It kind of hurts Abby’s feelings,” says Melissa Ordway (Abby). “She wants their relationship to work, but she keeps finding he doesn’t open up to her. He opens up to Ashley! She’s starting to go, ‘Wait, what’s going on? He’s my boyfriend!’ Abby is starting to feel like a third wheel! “She’s having second thoughts about Stitch,” adds the actress. “She wants to fight for their relationship, but she also…

Dante’s Dilemma Dominic Zamprogna (Dante) and Emme Rylan (Lulu) have come to life with a vengeance with off the charts, amazing, Emmy-worthy performances! They are proving that they belong in the big league as leads on the show. And newcomer Brytni Sarpy (Valerie) is certainly holding her own, braving the challenging role of playing the reviled home wrecker for the beloved legacy supercouple, Lante. Terry Folster via Soaps In Depth Facebook page Man Hungry Moms Port Charles has the highest per capita number of moms sleeping with their daughters’ husbands or boyfriends. Please make it stop! Jackie Allen via Soaps In Depth Facebook page The Incomparable Mr. Geary Saying goodbye to Tony Geary (Luke) is bittersweet. He is entitled to have some time away from GENERAL HOSPITAL, but all of…

Might Sonny and Laura be a future GH supercouple? Maurice Benard (Sonny) thinks that sharing a storyline with Genie Francis (Laura) would be fantastic! “I don’t know what it is about Genie, but there’s something there,” raves the actor of his beloved co-star. “There’s a vulnerability that I get from her, on stage and off. Sonny’s never had that type of woman… except Lily. All of the women Sonny’s been with have been a certain type. They’re either too strong, or they’ll kick your [bleep]! There’s something about Genie where I know we would connect well on stage. But better than that, it would be interesting.” Benard has been yearning to work with Francis for a long time. And from his character’s point of view, “Sonny has always had enormous…

Pernas says that she got the acting bug when she first watched the movie, All About Eve. “When I saw Bette Davis, I was like, ‘Can I be like her?’” she recalls with a laugh. “I just thought it was so incredible how she transmitted so much emotion and expression through her eyes!” Today, the actress looks to the phenomenally talented Cate Blanchett as her inspiration. “I’m such a big fan of hers!” sighs Pernas. “She could play anything. She is one of those actresses who is absolutely fearless, and I really aspire to just come close to the attitude that she has, to acquire any character and just go for it! She’s extraordinary!”…

Q: What TV show do you find yourself binge-watching? Ryan Carnes (Lucas, GH) “HOUSE OF CARDS. It’s brilliantly written. It’s brilliantly acted. It’s very cinematic. I favor TV shows that are shot more like a film. It’s compelling. It’s thrilling without being a thriller. There are so many twists and turns without it being overwrought. I just love it.” Suzanne Rogers (Maggie, DAYS) “LAW & ORDER. I’m addicted to both the original and LAW & ORDER: SVU. I think [series creator] Dick Wolf is brilliant! I love the marathons. I can watch them all day!” Peter Bergman (Jack, Y&R) “I love DOWNTON ABBEY. It’s a really fine soap opera. It only gets better and is done really well.” Billy Flynn (Chad, DAYS) “THE WALKING DEAD. I also did a pretty…

Before her wedding ceremony, Maya overheard Julius and Vivienne having a very candid conversation that reduced the bride to tears. Maya still allowed her father to walk her down the aisle, but in the midst of their procession stopped to demand answers about what she’d overheard. After Julius confessed his true feelings, Maya managed to shake off her pain and marry Rick as planned, but Nicole was livid with her dad for disturbing her sister’s big day. Steffy confided in Thomas about what really happened the night Aly died, and feared what Ivy might do with the information. Thomas was consumed with thoughts of Caroline, who shared with Ridge her unshakable desire to have a child. Are two former flames simply offering each other advice… or getting closer?…

The behind-the-scenes romance is over for Y&R’s Robert Adamson (Noah) and THE BOLD & THE BEAUTIFUL’s Linsey Godfrey (Caroline), who were engaged to be married and share a daughter, 1-year-old Aleda. “Linsey and Robert have made the difficult decision to call off their engagement and separate,” says a B&B spokesperson. “They will always remain connected as they are committed to co-parenting their daughter Aleda in a loving and amicable environment, and her needs will always be their common priority. They thank their fans for their support and ask that their privacy regarding this matter be respected.”…

The killing of GH’s Silas — and therefore the exit of Michael Easton — caused a firestorm among his loyal fans that ignited just moments after the July 30 cliffhanger in which the character was seen face down in a pool of his own blood. After all, it was only in March that the actor had renewed his contract with the soap. Easton’s huge fan base took to social media to protest ABC’s decision, and a petition asking executive producer Frank Valentini, co-headwriters Shelly Altman and Jean Passanante, and ABC executive vice president Vicki Dummer to reinstate the popular actor was immediately drawn up and posted. Within a matter of hours, it had nearly 2,000 signatures (and still counting). Easton has been a member of the ABC Daytime family since…

On Saturday, August 22, Justin Gaston (ex-Ben, DAYS OF OUR LIVES) will play John Stamos (ex-Blackie, GH) — aka FULL HOUSE’s Uncle Jesse, the heartthrob with the killer coif — in Lifetime’s latest behindthe-scenes tell-all, The Unauthorized Full House Story. “A lot of it is personal. Bob Saget and Dave Coulier dealt with a few family tragedies, while John Stamos was [in the spotlight] for his [romantic] relationships,” Gaston previews. “It’s so cool to see what was really going on in their lives as they were portraying these characters that everyone fell in love with.” Gaston and Stamos have a lot in common: They both worked in soaps, they’re both talented musicians, and they’re both ridiculously handsome. However, to nail Stamos’ memorable ’90s look, Gaston required a little help. “I…

Ridge and Caroline debate a serious business matter on Monday, August 17, but their friction pales in comparison to the tension in the room on Tuesday, August 18, when Lt. Baker interrogates Steffy about the details surrounding Aly’s death. On Wednesday, August 19, Thomas struggles over his romantic feelings for Caroline. Steffy finally confides in Liam on Thursday, August 20. But on Friday, August 21, Steffy finds herself once again on the defensive when Ivy offers her eyewitness account of Aly’s death to the Spencer brothers.…

There comes a time in the life of every parent when they wonder, “Where have the years gone?” That time is now for GENERAL HOSPITAL’s Laura Wright (Carly). As the mother of two teenagers — Lauren, 16, and L.J., 14 — Wright is adjusting to the idea of slowly untying the apron strings. “Now they’re adults,” she says with a smile. “The transition of letting them go was a little rough because they want their freedom and to make their own decisions. It’s like it happens overnight. You’re the center of their world, and then you’re not.” Her son recently went through a transformation involving a comb and pair of scissors that made Mom realize he wasn’t her little boy anymore. “He cut off all his hair!” she laughs, referring…

Its bet’s been five years since Billy Warlock (ex-A.J., GENERAL HOSPITAL) was last seen in daytime. While he’d love nothing more than to return to the genre that launched his career, he wasn’t willing to sit by the phone forever. That’s why he and wife Julie Pinson (Eve, PORT CHARLES) decided to get out of Dodge! “I’d been going to Telluride [CO] since 1985, and I used to have a place there but sold it in 1999,” he explains. “Then a few years ago, my buddy was building a house up on one of the mesas and I went to help — and I fell in love all over again!” Adios, L.A.! Convincing Pinson to move to the very small town — a former silver mining camp in the San…

FYIFYIFYI Birthday: December 1. Hometown: Baltimore, MD. Learning From The Best: Edwards was excited to be in scenes directed by her Emmywinning colleague, Heather Tom (Katie), earlier this year. “It’s nice to work with someone who knows exactly what it’s like to be on the acting side of things,” she says. Star-Struck: Edwards was once rendered speechless meeting singer/actress Brandy. Though THE BOLD & THE BEAUTIFUL’s Nicole swooped onto the scene with major attitude and a not-so-above-board agenda, the time she’s spent in L.A. getting to know her sister, Maya, has transformed her for the better, thinks her portrayer, Reign Edwards. “She’s definitely changed,” says the actress. “Something is connecting with her heart now. She’s not so shallow anymore, and she’s come to see what her actions have caused for…

Everybody has their limit, and walking in on Morgan and “Denise” in bed together was just about all GENERAL HOSPITAL’s Silas was going to put up with. Defending his daughter, Kiki’s, honor, he not only promised to tell her that her boyfriend was cheating on her, but he was doing so with her supposedly dead mother! Michael Easton took Silas on an emotional roller coaster ride of guilt, regret and then the rage only a parent would know when their child is so deeply wronged. Silas Gets A Shock! Silas could no longer live with the fact that, in a roundabout way, he was the reason Nina was losing touch with reality again. Thanks to Ric’s successful machinations, she was convinced that she kidnapped Avery, a crime that Silas had…

On a television show where looking like an underwear model can be a job requirement, it’s nice to actually be one — or at least a former one like Moss, who once posed for James Tudor skivvies. What does he do to maintain that physique? “Lift the remote? Just kidding!” he laughs. “I go to the gym four or five days a week and do weightlifting, exercises and sometimes CrossFit.” However, Moss also enjoys stretching, especially stretching out on the couch with his favorite lady — and oh yes, the remote! “My significant other and I just finished the series PARENTHOOD — that was cool — and we’re big fans of SCANDAL,” he relates. “She also got me hooked on FRIENDS, which [aired] when I was little, so now I’m…
