Craig: Jailbird No More?
Word has it that TPTB at 'The World Of Oakdale' are looking to cast the role of Craig, just like the regular show recently did. We sat down with Executive Producer and Headwriter Dusty Alford to get the scoop. "I've had plans to bring Craig back for some time now. Way before the regular show ever announced their intentions of casting the role. But the timing sucked back then. Now, it's perfect." Alford also went on to say that their should be an announcement sometime next month. He also hinted that Craig may be a changed man when he gets sprung from jail. "I just never liked the way that they portrayed him in recent years. He definitely will be a changed man, I think, and that will turn some Oakdaleians' heads."


Extra! Extra! HOT!
'The World Of Oakdale' has been taken by storm. Thousands of fans have acknowledged their continually growing interest in the pairing of Andy Hughes and Emily Stewart. Oakdale Digest caught up with Scott DeFreitas to ask him what it's like to be part of such a fan-approved coupling. "Oh, it's awesome," says DeFreitas. "Kelly and I love working together and we just go in there and do our thing. I think Emily's a good fit for Andy because they're so much alike. They just don't see it." But recently, Emily's done something that Andy won't approve of. She's been snooping around town trying to take photos of newly arrived celebrity Jason Summers. "Emily has always been the type where she'll do anything for a good story. Like a true journalist. But Andy just doesn't see why she's so insistent on running this story," says DeFreitas. With the new issue of The Enquirer flying off the printers at the end of last Friday's episode, a viewer begins to wonder what Andy's reaction will be. Stay tuned to find out.
