Emmy Pre-Screening Nominations Announced
It's daytime television's biggest night. Soap Opera Central has all
the Emmy angles covered. Select an option from below to link to more
The pool from which this year's Daytime Emmy nominees will be drawn
has gotten a little bit smaller. The National Academy of Television
Arts and Sciences (NATAS) has released this year's list of pre-
screen nominees in the performance categories of Daytime Dramas for
the 33rd Annual Daytime Emmy Awards.
Briefly, each soap holds its own mini-Emmy ceremony in which the
cast and crew cast their votes for the top performers in the six
acting categories -- Lead Actor, Lead Actress, Supporting Actor,
Supporting Actress, Younger Actor and Younger Actress. The top two
vote-getters in each category are the two nominees that the show
puts forward into the pool from which the final Emmy nominees will
be drawn.
The pre-screening process was put into effect three years ago as a
response to growing criticism that shows with larger casts were
unfairly seizing control of the nomination process. For more
information on the reasons behind the pre-nominations, please click
Nominees in the performance categories will be pre-screened along
with the other Daytime categories at the pre-screen judging on
January 21st and 22nd, 2006. The pre-screening will be conducted in
both Los Angeles and New York. The nominees for the year's Daytime
Emmys will be announced on February 8th, 2006. This year's ceremony
will be broadcast live on ABC on Friday, April 28, 2006, from the
Kodak Theater in Hollywood, California.

sees Daniel at the coffeehouse. Brad crushes Victoria's bridal
planning dreams. John convinces Ashley to go with him to the D.A.'s
News and Events:
Straight Shooter
As he sat down with his cup of tea and bear claw, Jerry Douglas
(John) took some time to shoot the breeze on his current storyline.
You've had an action packed storyline lately. What was your reaction
when you found out John would shoot Tom?
JERRY: I was very surprised but I can believe he shot him because
[Co-Executive Producer/Co-Head Writer] Jack [Smith] has had a much
more interesting edge to John Abbott in the last three years than
ever before. I think [Y&R Creator] Bill [Bell] saw my character a
lot in his own making and not that it wasn't great stuff over the
years but it was very conservative. And I also recently belted
Roscoe's [Born (Tom)] character.
Was that fun?
JERRY: Oh yeah. My kids asked me, 'Can you punch good?' And I
said, 'Yeah, I used to box.'
Do you think John should allow Ashley to take the blame for the
JERRY: I can't imagine he would. The show has always dealt with
principle on a very high level. Even though John acted to protect
his family, he did bring a gun. Even though he did it to protect
himself, it did lead to a shooting and he's responsible for it. I
think John will be punished. This is a clean cut shot where he just
shoots him. We could do some great scenes from jail. And it would be
interesting to see John come back with an edge to him.
Is it difficult to act out the heart attack scenes?
JERRY: That's hard for me. That's very tough because I keep myself
in great shape, but it's workable because you could have a guy
that's in great shape who happens to have a weak heart. What's more
difficult is the flashbacks the pieces of my memory coming back.
You're flashing back to different scenes and you have to think about
what you're reacting to.
How do you feel about John frequently ending up in the hospital?
JERRY: I like hospital scenes. When John had the big outburst
because of Kevin and fell down the stairs -- those kinds of scenes
can be very fun to do.
Do you ever tease the writers about their treatment of John lately?
JERRY: I just say, 'Boy, I'm in good shape for a guy that's always
falling down [laughs].' That's kind of fun. I remember I had to do a
scene after he gets out of the hospital with a broken hip and he
gets seduced by Gloria and we had to take our clothes off to some
degree, and I said, 'He sure has a lot of energy for a guy who's
always injured![laughs].'
The addition of Gloria has really thrust John into the center of a
lot of storyline. Are you enjoying working with Judith Chapman?
JERRY: Judith is the best girl I've had in a long time. She's such a
combo of strength and vulnerability. And besides, Judith happens to
be a terrific actress.
John's off-screen wife, Kym, and his on-screen wife Judith Chapman
having fun.
Speaking of wives, in honor of Valentine's Day, do you have a
favorite romantic memory with your wife Kym?
JERRY: The most fun was our honeymoon 21 years ago this April. We
went to Bermuda and it was when I was on the screen all the time. It
was the beginning of the Abbotts and they were the only power
family now there's the Newmans and the Abbotts and I was working
all the time. I got a nice break and we went for five days. When we
got there it was like I was the biggest movie star that ever lived
because everybody on that island that works there loves The Young
and the Restless and they watched it every night at 8. So, the
concierge gave us a private beach so that we were able to be alone
and nobody would know me. We put on little disguises, took a cab,
got on the beach and got a blanket out; We jumped in the water and
then she was laying down and I went to kiss her. As I leaned down to
kiss her, I saw three photographers in the bushes. Then I looked up
and saw more faces, so that was the most romantic memory because it
was just so funny.
Here Comes Traci!
Beth Maitland will return to her popular role as Traci Abbott on The
Young and the Restless. Traci will return to Genoa City to offer

The Young and the Restless
John Abbott has a surprising proposition for Paul. The gossipy
Leanna Love (Barbara Crampton) ambushes Ashley during a tabloid
television interview. Prosecutor Will Bardwell (Knots Landing grad
Ted Shackelford) finds out that Ashley had her manicured hand in
Tom's trumped-up drug charges. Lauren worries what Michael will do
next. Nick and Phyllis have a close call. Dru and Neil allow Lily to
return to Genoa City. Can they trust their daughter to stay away
from her lovelorn ex-boyfriend, Daniel?
Scoop! The Young and the Restless cast and crew gathered on the set
this week to share a farewell cake for soap vet Jerry Douglas.
TVGuide.com has learned that Douglas, 73 who has played Jabot
Cosmetics tycoon John Abbott since 1982 was let go due to a story-
line-dictated twist.
Spoiler alert! As viewers know, John shot the vile Tom Fisher
(Roscoe Born) and refuses to allow his daughter Ashley (Eileen
Davidson) to cover for him by taking the murder rap. What will be
the Abbott patriarch's reward for ridding Genoa City of human scum?
A seven-year prison sentence. Although it's sad to see this beloved
pro go, Douglas has been woefully underused for years. At least Y&R
is sending him and his classy character out with a bang!
Although Bold and the Beautiful honcho Brad Bell has admitted to
feeling tempted to keep Lesli Kay on the canvas, the CBS sudser will
kill off the dying Felicia Forrester as planned. Bummer!
"Isn't she marvelous?" Susan Flannery (Stephanie) asks
TVGuide.com. "I'm sad to lose her, too, but it's such a powerful
Despite Kay's popularity, her TV mom thinks it'd be a mistake to
reverse Felicia's terminal cancer diagnosis just to keep her
around. "Doesn't that kind of burn the audience?" Flannery says. "We
have to go down this path and pay off the story in the right way."
Word is, Felicia's unfortunate demise will give rise to a Bold new
saga: a tussle over her baby son, Dominick. Look for Italian
stallion Dante (Antonio Sabato Jr.) to start asking, "Who's your
real daddy?"
Scoop! Although Kristoff St. John's contract negotiations got
unusually close to the wire, the Young and the Restless star who
has played Neil Winters since 1991 tells TVGuide.com he is
now "committed to three more years in Genoa City."
As viewers saw last week, Yolanda (Chene Lawson) abruptly skipped
town after Neil rebuffed her seduction attempt. (Basically, the
recovering crackhead dropped her towel, and the very married Mr.
Winters insisted she put it back on and check herself!) For his
part, St. John feels relieved that Y&R's writers changed their minds
about playing out an infidelity scenario. "It would have been very
disrespectful for Neil to step out on Dru with their foster son's
mother," he says. "Neil has too much dignity and integrity for
That said, it sounds like Y&R has something much juicier planned for
the Denzel of daytime. "There's some major, family-related trouble
coming up for Neil and Dru," St. John teases. "We're trying to bring
back Malcolm, but with Shemar Moore doing so well on Criminal Minds,
I don't think we'll be able to get him. If we have to, we will do
the story without him. But this is some major stuff and I don't
know if all's well that ends well for Neil and Dru's marriage."
Those who read Eric Braeden's candid interview last Friday know how
passionate he is about his role as Victor Newman on The Young and
the Restless. As hinted last week, the soap vet also aims to get
back on the big screen. "I am planning to make a revenge picture,"
Braeden reveals exclusively to TVGuide.com. "I will produce and act
in it as well. When that becomes a reality, meaning when the money
is there to bankroll it, I will gladly talk to you again." And I'll
be glad to pass on the dish to our loyal readers!

Michelle Stafford's Y&R Blog
by Michelle Stafford
Hey! I'm Michelle Stafford and I play Phyllis Summers Newman on CBS'
The Young and the Restless. This is my first entry for my new
TVGuide.com blog. TV Guide soap-opera guru Daniel Coleridge invited me
to write this, so here it is....
My body is very tired because I've been crying for the last three days
on the show. I�ve been working with Christian [LeBlanc, Michael on The
Young and the Restless], and he�s out of his mind. When Christian and
I rehearse, I like to walk around The Grove (great shopping center,
right next door to where we tape at CBS Television City) and run our
lines, and go to my favorite Brazilian restaurant at the Farmers
Market (adjacent to The Grove). Even if we�re two hours away from
shooting, Christian is hesitant to leave the studio. Christian likes
to run, and run, and run the lines. I like to run the lines a few
times. Peter [Bergman, who plays Jack] likes to run the lines a few
times too. Josh [Morrow, who plays Nick] doesn�t like to run the lines
at all.
Christian and I had lunch together yesterday. I had the chicken and
macaroni and cheese. I am a big fan of the macaroni and cheese at our
beautiful CBS commissary. I even go to the salad bar and put a couple
big scoops of bleu cheese on top of the macaroni and cheese. I make my
own three-cheese macaroni and cheese. Christian had a scoop of tuna on
lettuce. I think he has a bed scene coming up. I noticed that some of
the men get more nervous about �dropping trou� than the women do.
Sharon Case [who plays Sharon] isn't nervous at all about it. I myself
make the crew turn their backs to me if I have to take my clothes off.
And I make Josh close his eyes. He�s a married man, after all. And I
have to look his wife in the eye. One time in a scene, my bare back
had to show, and I said to him, �All right, I�m going to have my boob
right on you. Can you deal with it?� He said, �I think I can.� Then I
put a piece of paper in between our skin, because he's a father of two
young boys and I have to look them in the eye as well. Josh keeps on
telling me he�s already seen them (my bare breasts), but I know he
hasn't because I am very careful about hiding them when we have those
scenes. When Josh and I do our love scenes, we are laughing and
goofing off right up to the moment of action. I�m shocked that
anything good ever comes of it.
When I do my love scenes with Sharon... Oh no � forget that � that�s a
future story line. Nevermind. Oh shoot, I shouldn�t have let that slip.
What else? I was there last night until 9 o�clock. The cleaning crew
was standing outside of my room waiting for me to leave. I�m very
happy that we have a shopping center right next door to our studio.
During my time off, if it's during the day, I usually go shopping at
the Gap. I am a big fan of the Gap. What happened to the $25 t-shirts?
That�s what I want to know. If I have a lot of time in between scenes,
sometimes I'll see a movie at our fabulous movie theater inside The Grove.
We have a four-day weekend at work so we'll all get to relax and take
some time off. We are now shooting six shows in four days at work. We
are there longer hours, but we get more days off. I like this new
Anyway, stay tuned to this blog. I will have more fun and frolicking
for you in the future. Those are a lot of F's right there.
Why As the World Turns Will Break My Heart on May 1
That adorable redhead Zach Roerig says goodbye to CBS' As the World
Turns on Tuesday, May 1. Roerig's contract expired and the 23-year-old
actor has opted to pursue other projects. So his character, Casey
Hughes, is being written off to jail. Sigh.
This really bums me out. If you're already missing Zach/Casey like I
am, please join me in my unhealthy obsessing over the superhot screen
caps and publicity photos on this fabulous fansite.
Oh, and don't even bother leaving snarky comments below. It's not like
I don't know I'm gay, OK?
Top Model Judge to Guest Star on Y&R
OK, so I was just watching Dancing With the Stars hoofer Louis van
Amstel do his cameo on All My Children when news of another
reality-soap crossover hit my inbox....
Fashion shutterbug Nigel Barker � who judges America's Next Top Model
� will play himself on The Young and the Restless on Tuesday, May 29
and Wednesday, May 30.
Barker will host Y&R's fictional reality show Extreme Catwalk. He'll
dish with Jill and Gloria about Amber, who models her very own designs
on the runway. Catwalk sounds like catty fun to me!
Soap Star Grad Lands on Bold and the Beautiful
Good news! The hunky Dean Cochran � my fave contestant ever from
SOAPnet's I Wanna Be a Soap Star � has finally landed himself a
soap-opera gig.
Dean joins CBS' The Bold and the Beautiful this Friday, April 27. He
plays one of the policemen investigating the demise of homeless hottie
Shane McGrath (Dax Griffin).
"I am playing Detective Troy Scott," Dean wrote to me via my MySpace
page. "I'm basically Lt. Baker's (Dan Martin) prot�g� and we are
investigating this case, which involves many of the front-burner
characters. It's a recurring role for as long as this case goes on.
Who knows? Maybe Lt. Baker will need his right-hand man the next time
something comes up that requires brilliant investigative skills. We'll
have to see. But for now, it's been great to spend a couple of weeks
on set with a great cast and crew.
"For me, it's been especially fun since the B&B stage is next door to
The Price Is Right stage, where my wife Brandi Sherwood is a model. So
I know all the crew over there, and some of them work on B&B as well.
"I got the role in large part thanks to [my manager] Michael Bruno,
who showed my reel to [B&B casting director] Christy Dooley after Soap
Star," Dean continued. "Michael was a big supporter on that show and
was kind enough to want to help me out (like yourself). When this part
came up, he put in another call to Christy, who got on board! Thanks
to them, I got a shot to get my foot in the door. All the B&B cast
members are terrific people, as I'm sure you know. It's been a great
experience for me, coming from a feature film background, to try my
hand at soaps."
Good luck, Dean! Or is it break a leg? Whichever works best for you
pretty-boy actor types.
Y&R Vixen Michelle Stafford Reacts to Her Emmy Nomination
by Daniel R. Coleridge
Two-time Daytime Emmy winner Michelle Stafford has yet another shot at
a shiny statuette this year. The Young and the Restless star's latest
nomination came as no surprise to us, since she puts such pizzazz into
her performances as Phyllis Summers Romalotti Abbott Newman, Genoa
City's homewrecker with a heart of gold. Here she shares her reaction
to the Emmy nod. And don't miss her very special news at the end of
the Q&A!
TVGuide.com: You're already fancy with all the awards you've won. Did
this nom even come as a surprise?
Michelle Stafford: It's always shocking and totally surprising! It's
really an honor. First of all, your peers at your show say you're good
enough to go up for the award. And then you go up for the nomination,
and you get it because people thought you were good enough to possibly
win. That's really cool, and that never gets old, believe me. You
think, "Oh God, I better get this. They put their faith in me."
TVGuide.com: What have you submitted for Emmy consideration?
Stafford: For the prenom, I chose an episode where Jack and Phyllis
are stuck in an elevator and she's about to give birth. It's not the
show where she gave birth, but the show before that one, where she
went into labor.
TVGuide.com: Any scene you're sharing with Peter Bergman (Jack) is
likely to be good stuff.
Stafford: Yeah, I like the dynamic between the two characters. Phyllis
and Jack have a shaky relationship. And people do give birth in sucky
situations. It does happen!
TVGuide.com: It's certainly more believable than your evil
plastic-surgery double coming to town.
Stafford: Totally!
TVGuide.com: Phyllis recently blackmailed Brad. I've enjoyed watching
her go back to her wicked ways.
Stafford: To Phyllis, Brad is a cocky loser who doesn't deserve to be
in the position he's in. She thinks he's a buffoon. So she loves to
play with Brad! Don Diamont (Brad) always says [in character], "Oh, I
wouldn't listen to you, I've killed people." I look at him and go,
"Well, I have, too, buddy!"
TVGuide.com: That's right. Didn't Phyllis kill her ex-friend Sasha
years ago?
Stafford: That was during the days Sandra Nelson was playing Phyllis.
Sasha died in a fire and I think it was insinuated that Phyllis killed
her, but the audience didn't see it. I don't know. I wasn't playing
the role, so I can't take responsibility for it! I did run over Paul
in my car once when I was playing Phyllis.
TVGuide.com: Is it fun for you to play a bad girl again?
Stafford: You're probably the 50th person who has asked me this, so I
guess you guys care! You know, I don't care. As long as it's a fun,
well written story to play, I don't care how Phyllis is... good, bad
or indifferent. I like makin' out with Josh [Morrow, Nick]. I could
think of a lot worse things to do in life. It ain't too shabby.
TVGuide.com: I think Phyllis and Nick's early make-out scenes in the
Newman stables belong on your Emmy reel.
Stafford: (Sassy) Really, you think so? I don't think that the [Emmy
voters] are really interested in watching me make out. I don't know if
that's going to get me an Emmy.
TVGuide.com: OK, maybe I should start the "Danny Awards" and give you
and Joshua a trophy for best kiss?
Stafford: (Laughs) Right on! That's cool.
TVGuide.com: Have you talked to your fellow outstanding lead-actress
Stafford: I called all the girls. Kim Zimmer (Reva, Guiding Light) is
really excited. She's awesome.
TVGuide.com: I love how Zimmer said she'd stop submitting herself if
she won an Emmy last year. Then she won and forgot all about that.
Stafford: Well, you know, Zimmer is a passionate woman. She speaks in
the moment and she doesn't hold anything back. That's what I love
about her. Anyone can change their mind. What the hell! It's only a game.
TVGuide.com: Do you and your Y&R cast mates sit down together and
discuss what you'll submit?
Stafford: Oh, yeah! The seven of us who've been nominated � me, Peter
Bergman, Christian LeBlanc (Jack), Jeanne Cooper (Katherine), Kristoff
St. John (Neil), Greg Rikaart (Kevin) and Bryton (Devon) � are a
pretty tight group. Me and Christian are the first up in the
production office scouring our tapes. I told Jeanne, "You better get
your ass up there and do it! I'll help you pick." It's tough to look
at your own work; you can become apathetic and only see what's wrong
with it. Sometimes you need another pair of eyes. We all help each
other out.
TVGuide.com: How does it feel to be nominated up against Jeanne in the
same category?
Stafford: Oh, my god, I couldn't be happier. I think she's so good and
she deserves to win. She actually has one of these tchotchkes already.
It's so much fun to be in there with her. There's absolutely zero
competition. (Laughs) We're broads. We've been around. These women are
my friends. I like them and I like their work. The Emmys are just a
fun game. It's an excuse to get dolled up.
TVGuide.com: I don't think all daytime actors feel that way, Michelle!
Some take the Daytime Emmys very seriously.
Stafford: This is art. These awards are based on opinion. I submit my
tapes and then let it go because it's out of my hands, right? I have a
different viewpoint of this than others might. Maybe it's because I've
won before. It could be that. But don't get me wrong � I wanna win!
I'm not just sitting here going, "Oh, whatever."
TVGuide.com: By the way, I'm so glad you're joining TVGuide.com's
roster of celebrity bloggers.
Stafford: Oh, I know, that's gonna be cool. I'm happy to be asked, my
friend. It's the computer age, man!

Greetings From The Editor
Lynn Leahey
Dear Readers,
DAYS's evil EJ has been holding down the fort, but the DiMeras are
about to
come charging back in a big way. The new Digest reports that Joe
Mascolo is
returning as Stefano, after turning down offers to reprise the role
in the
past. Also coming back is Thaao Penghlis, who played Tony.... Y&R's
Braeden is leaving the show to shoot a movie. How did Y&R write out
front-burner Victor for the duration of filming? A "cataclysmic
event," of
course. Read all about it in the new Digest.... And a GH preview
what's ahead in Port Charles, including Nikolas dying. Is it for
"Well, I'm near the end of my contract," admits Tyler Christopher

Tales From The Interview
Reporting By Danielle McClure
There are a few of us in the office (okay, maybe it's just me and my
cubicle neighbor, Lauren Flynn) who love a good bargain, especially
it's one involving fashion. So when I recently sat down with GL's
Dennison (Daisy), I had to ask her where she picks up her cute style
and if
she's a fool for a great fashion find like we are. I secretly hoped
tell me she scored her smart outfit (an adorable blue top and jeans
boots) on the sale rack so we could swap sample sale scavenging
stories and
tales of bargain bin brawls. Much to my delight, she credited her
sense to picking up her grandmother's old jewelry and shopping at
markets. "Eclectic sort of stuff. Just like American Apparel mixed
grandma's old jewelry," Dennison said of her style. She happily
obliged when
I asked her where she found her unique necklace. "It's my grandma's.
cool piece of jewelry I have is from my grandparents. I guess they
don't make cool jewelry anymore!" she laughed. "It was a gift of a
friend of
hers. I think it's emerald. It's an Aztec something or other." And
about her
flea market and thrift store excursions, she admitted she's just not
to pay an outrageous price for someone's old shirt. "I used to go
weekend. You have to be adamant about it and have a standard in what
spend. I mean, it's used clothing with boutique prices. I don't want
to pay
that much! It's really crazy." I couldn't agree more. For more of my
interview with Bonnie, check out the new Digest.
The Water Cooler
Ever wonder what Digest editors talk about in the halls? Here's
what's on
our minds this week.
Lauren Flynn: Did anyone see Chris Beetem's (Tate, ONE LIFE TO LIVE)
wickedly hilarious Tom Cruise spoof on April 23? To summarize, the
baseball pro-turned-underwear model ventured to THE VIEW to talk
about much
more than his skivvies. Yours truly got to sit in as an extra that
day, and
although I can't say I made it on-camera, it was definitely an
We were shooting on a snowy day in early March, so most of the
audience was
dressed for cold weather, while the first two rows of paid extras
brightly colored spring clothing. (I'm going to blame my black
for the lack of face time.) The whole segment was filmed on THE VIEW
after taping of the regular show, and being behind-the-scenes was
especially watching OLTL Executive Producer Frank Valentini in
blocking moves with Beetem and keeping up the crowd's enthusiasm.
Valentini and Beetem seemed to have a neverending supply of energy,
demonstrated by Beetem's expert jumping. He is one agile actor! Catch
action shot on page 99 in the latest Digest.
Tom Stacy: In the spirit of the big reveal that Sebastian Roch�'s
GH incarnation of James Craig is really Jerry Jax, I am about to make
confession. I, too, have a secret identity. Really. Most of my co-
and the fans I speak with know me as a mild-mannered reporter for a
soap magazine, but there is more to my origins than you know. In
fact, more
than I even knew until recently when my visiting parents dined with
fellow staffers here in Los Angeles. Leave it to my cohort in crime,
Owens, to get the scoop. As he and my mother bonded as thick as
thieves, she
revealed that I was actually named after a soap opera character! It's
That was news to me! I knew Dolores was a lifelong fan of AS THE
TURNS, but I had never known that Thomas Christopher Stacy was
named after Thomas Christopher Hughes! "How could you not have told
that?" I demanded to know. "It never came up," she sweetly replied.
FOR SOAP OPERA DIGEST AND IT NEVER CAME UP?" I'm still dumbfounded by
news, but you can bet I'll be hunting down Scott Holmes at this
year's Emmys
so I can have my picture taken with my namesake. Since I've gone this
I'll also admit that I used to make fun of people named after TV
-- but no more. I am one of you! So, to all the Sonnys, Carlys,
Friscos and
Felicias out there, I embrace you and I thank you for welcoming me
into our
exclusive club.
Survey Says
Last week, Digest asked readers which pair of characters who were
romantically linked they'd like to see together. The e-mails poured
in. K.
D. nominated GL's Cassie and Alan and came up with a whole plotline:
storyline could have Alan truly fall in love for the first time in
his life,
and be so enraptured by Cassie that he truly becomes a better man.
All the
while Cassie will be diabolically plotting to steal his riches and
ruin his
life for what he did to her daughter Tammy. She will succeed, and
Alan will
not put up a fight because of his true love for her and he will end
up a
homeless bum. Whereupon -- of course -- Phillip will return to
to rescue his father and take back the Spaulding empire, as the No. 1
would do, of course, causing the brotherly rivalry with Alan-Michael
to rear
its ugly head...." R.T. writes, "I would like to see Kevin and
Colleen on
Y&R hook up! I think that they will make a perfect match ... besides

wants to
see Sharon and J.T. together (Imagine what Victoria would say about
Other possible pairings were OLTL's Antonio and Talia and Marty and
GH's Noah and Alexis, C.B. writes: "Alexis deserves a sexy, NICE man,
the original Dr. McDreamy might just fill the bill;" AMC's Jonathan
and Ava
and Y&R's Sharon and Neil.

I am so loving Austin Peck as Brad on ATWT. I was skeptical at first
his last role as DAYS's Austin was so passive and nice, but he is
very convincing playing a womanizing jerk who underneath it all has a
of gold. Keep it coming ATWT, let Austin Peck keep flexing those
acting chops.

weigh in with their reviews.
I saw Ilene Kristen, Roxy from OLTL, live at a bar/restaurant called

soul of a great entertainer. She rocked the house. Energy,

excitement describes Ilene.

I was fortunate enough to be able to catch Rick Springfield's two-
concert stint at the Borgata Hotel & Casino in Atlantic City, NJ in
February. Despite being under the weather with a bad cold (it seemed
his entire band had the sniffles!), Rick put on a spirited
performance both
nights! Pausing only to soothe his throat with sips of hot tea,
poured his usual abundant energy into his show. Fans enjoyed a mix of
material with Rick's big hits from the '80s; he even ventured out
into the
audience a couple of times to interact with the appreciative crowd.
were a few people out in the audience who attended the show on a last-
whim -- they had no idea Springfield is still performing and
recording new
music -- who left the venue vowing to track down his newest CD's to
add to
their collections! Scratchy voice or no, Rick Springfield wowed his
audience, as always.

In the summer of 2006 I traveled to Augusta Michigan to see Kim
Zimmer in
Gypsy. Delayed two hours at the Bluewater Bridges between Sarnia,
and Port Huron, Michigan didn't dampen my resolve. I barely made it
on time
for the performance, but was so glad I'd persisted. I had twice
before made
the trek to experience dynamo Kim!!! First in Shirley Valentine, and
then in
Blood Brothers she wowed the audience. Gypsy made the perfect "hat
Whatever the role, Kim imbues it with spirit, honesty, energy and
skill. She
also respects her fans and audience in general. Imagine my surprise
when she
autographed a photo of us together with these words: "Thank you for
energy!" As I am a GUIDING LIGHT fan I chose to give Kim a silver and
Breast Cancer bracelet in honor of her recent storyline. She promised
wear it on the show. As I have limited vision I haven't spotted it,
but know
she would be true to her word. I value Kim's theatrical talents and
her for all the joy she continues to give to her fans ...even when
