WEEK OF JULY 29, 2007 EDITION

AMAZING AUGUST SNEAK PREVIEW

"Things may be calming down but we certainly aren't slowing down," promises EP/HW Tim Lowery. "August was a huge month for us last year and is even bigger this year. It's the perfect time to set things up for Fall while also amazing fans with big twists and reveals. There will be lots of romance for our couples. It's also an action-packed month, even if ships aren't sinking."

Roman/Marlena: "Grief is supposed to bring a family together but, instead, it's tearing the Brady's apart. Roman's guilt is pulling him away from Marlena and is leaving him in a dark place. Meanwhile, Marlena puts her own recovery at risk to be there for her family and for Roman. Fans will be shocked where all this ends up by month's end."

Bo/Hope/Steve/Kayla: "Steve wants to find out if what Orpheus told him is for real so he heads to New Orleans to find out. He will make a ominous discovery there. Kayla and Hope are puzzled by Steve's recent behavior and expect Hope to get dragged into this more actively by month's end. This story is being built up to be huge in the Fall. Meanwhile, Bo tries to get his life back on track and strives to be there for his family. Look for Stephanie to return too for a little bit."

Max/Abby/Forrest/Chelsea: "Forrest's agenda is not clear. Is he good or bad? Why is he so fascinated with Abby? Chelsea is unable to help so Max is on his own. Stephanie will come for a visit and will be drawn into this too, along with Frankie and Greta. The Horton's will get involved but, ultimately, Max is the only one who can save Abby. However, the harder Max tries, the more distance he puts between Abby and himself. Look for Abby and Max to confront their relationship problems, as well."

Victor vs Stefano: "The war has been re-ignited and now what we have is both men seeing who acts first. Stefano will do something that is a little more subtle and, once Victor learns of his actions, the feud will really explode once again. Greta tries not to get involved but will be drawn into this in a HUGE way by month's end. Meanwhile, Philip has his own problems in trying to make sure his father doesn't learn of his actions. He will try to be the perfect son to Victor. Look for Victor to be puzzled by Philip's sudden change in behavior, only intensifying his suspicions of Philip."

Tony/Anna/Carrie: "We know Tony wants Anna back. We also know that Anna still loves Tony but there is alot of inner conflict there. Anna tries to reach out to her daughter but that's easier said then done. Tony will try to prove his love to Anna by assisting with Carrie and ends up messing things up even more, which could cost him Anna forever. Tony will also be dragged into a mystery as the summer comes to a close while Carrie will make a major life decision that will shock her loved ones."

Lexie/Abe/Celeste/Cassie: "Celeste has another vision that really shakes her up. She begins to believe that Lexie saw her and Abe's kiss on the ship. Abe and Celeste try to find out what is going on but Lexie is putting up this wall. Lexie and Cassie begin to battle for Stefano's attention and the right to control the Dimera empire. Lexie finds herself under the guidance of Tony, making Cassie jealous and causing tension between her and her father. Tony and Stefano will butt heads while Lexie and Cassie keep trying to one up each other. Look for one of the women to commit a shocking action by month's end."

Lucas/Will: "Lucas falls into a deep pit of despair without Sami. He shuts out his family and friends and begins to even ignore his responsibility to Will, who needs him now more then ever. He is in his own little world. Maggie will snap him out of it somewhat. Lucas will also begin to throw himself into his work, where he will be tossed into a very troubling situation that sets the stage for his story this Fall."

Victor/Maggie/Doug/Julie: "Maggie and Victor are in love and finally together. She promises to stay out of his business dealings and they begin to work out what issues they have to deal with. There will be a big romantic culmination for these two, as well as for many of our couples. Maggie tries to get her life back on track and will make a big purchase by month's end. Maggie and Victor, along with Alice and others, try to reunite Doug and Julie, but will they be able to? Sometimes love isn't enough and that may very well be the case for Doug and Julie."

Cal/Katherine: "Katherine gets a big job offer but keeps it from Cal, whose behavior is worrying her more and more. Cal will begin to take his place as head of the Toscano empire and we will have him deal with all he has learned and all that has happened. There will also be some resentment towards the Brady's, especially Roman, that will be explored. We will bring some closure to their story but it's not a closed book. They just need to be rested for awhile but other doors will be opened."

Kim/Shane: "Shane is forced to leave town. Kim decides to go with him but some big things happen before they leave. Expect some wonderful scenes of reconciliation between them and their loved ones. We are not closing the book on them either. We will leave fans of them in a nice place. They will be back."

Kate/Nicole: "Both women find themselves in the same boat. They both are being shunned by everyone in Salem. This is their comeuppance and it's long overdue. Kate will be forced to deal with her actions and will also be faced by her troublesome past. Meanwhile, Nicole must decide which path to choose. She is conflicted by who the real Nicole is and that will be her issue to deal with going forward. The actions of others toward her may very well define what she ultimately becomes."

Jack/Billie: "They are alive and on an island. They will rely on each other for survival, which will make the bond between them even stronger. This part of their story is very romantic and will solidify them as a couple. By month's end, they will be found and then there will be a HUGE twist in the story."

Orpheus: "He isn't gone. He'll be around. Like always, he is just waiting to strike."

New and Returning Faces: "There will be some returns for Eric and Sami's funeral during the week of 8/6. Stephanie is one of them and she will stick around for a bit. We will also introduce several new faces this month, as we previously announced. These new faces will really shake up the canvas as we go into Fall."

MORE CAST CUTS!!! 4 STARS OUT!!!

The cast cuts continue at SALEM LIVES. Four more stars are out and will see their characters last air before August is over while two more are also predicted to be axed and off the canvas by summer's end. The most recent castoffs are recurring players Charles Shaughnessy (Shane) and Patsy Pease (Kimberly) and longtime vet Josh Taylor (Cal) and his onscreen wife Terri Garber (Katherine), who only signed a one year contract that expires in November. "We've made no secret of the fact that we are cutting cast," says EP/HW Tim Lowery. "We have had a large cast for over a year and some characters just need a rest. We are also bringing some new faces in to invigorate things. We just want to have characters on here who aren't just going to be side pieces we trot out once in awhile or just to say we use them. This is something we need to do and it's not over. We love all these actors. Terri was only signed for a year anyway and we planned on resting her and Cal upon the end of their current story. We feel this is what is best for Salem Lives right now."

Setsiders continue to report that even after the next two impending dismissals, the cuts aren't over. Sources hint more will come by year's end and early in 2008. For more on the next two upcoming cast cuts and on the big returns for the funeral of Eric and Sami Brady, check out next week's Insider.

FORMER GH ACTRESS JOINS SALEM LIVES

SALEM LIVES has snatched up another former GH vet. In a shocking move, Kristina Wagner has come on board to play the recurring role of Salem new DA Patricia Cromwell. The actress has been taping for weeks and first airs on July 30. However, Wagner somehow managed to work undetected for weeks. "We smuggled her in," laughs EP/HW Tim Lowery. "I will admit we were looking for a veteran actress and had others in mind but Kristina fits the role well. Patricia is somewhat like Nancy Grace. She is tough as nails and very annoying but still humorous. She has a sweet look to her, which is why I like her in this because she looks innocent but she is playing a character that isn't. The role is recurring and she will be a nice person to add some comic relief and to amp things up."
