Would someone please tell me why they killed Stuart Chandler on All My Children??? Sweet, kind, gentle, wonderful Stuart…..the antithesis to his power-hungry, manipulative, devious, identical twin Adam Chandler. Both characters have been so adeptly played by veteran David Canary.

Nothing’s perfect. That’s for sure. But, in my opinion, the 36th Annual Daytime Emmy Nomination list is much more on target than last year’s picks. There’s absolutely no question that Kristen Alderson (Starr/OLTL) deserves to be on that list in the Younger Actress category. That omission just leaves me shaking my head. I just don’t [...]

It is so great to have the opportunity to get up close and personal with your favorite soap star. It really is just pure fun! Most of the soap actors/actresses who I have met over the years are so gracious and friendly and so happy to meet and greet the fans. At any rate, while [...]

Vincent Irizarry plays (the sometimes evil) Dr. David Hayward on ABC’s All My Children. He originated the role in 1997 and played Hayward for almost 10 years, before being let go by AMC. He then moved to The Young and the Restless as David Chow. When David Chow was killed off Y&R in August, Vincent [...]

The Daytime Emmy Prenomination list has been announced for the upcoming 36th Annual Daytime Entertainment Emmy Awards. Check out the list below and see what you think. But remember – it’s Pre-Nom, which they will whittle down to the final list. As far as I’m concerned Bree Williamson (Jessica/OLTL) should be a shoo-in for Outstanding [...]

Hey all of you All My Children fans out there…. Did you know that talk show host Kelly Ripa (Hayley, AMC) is a horse show mom? Well she is. And a proud one at that! I know this because I met the co-host of Live with Regis and Kelly Sunday at the Winter Equestrian Festival [...]

We discuss things like what actor is coming or going and what storyline or character we like or don’t like. Generally speaking, it’s about what [...]

I spent Saturday afternoon listening to four of daytime’s hottest stars dish about everything from things they hope for their characters to their most memorable or favorite scenes. And, seasoned journalist that I am, captured it in my notes to share with you! More good news: I had one-on-one interviews with them and will post [...]

Can’t get to Super Soap Weekend Nov. 15 and 16 to meet the soap stars at Walt Disney World’s Hollywood Studios in Orlando? If you live in South Florida – or if you can get there – four of daytime’s favorite stars are appearing for a meet and greet from 1 to 3 p.m. Nov. [...]
