Josh

In "THE LIGHT" With : Julia Barr Julia Barr Please Note: This is a fictional interview. It is for entertainment purposes only! SONBC: First let's discuss what is on the mind of all your fans, you leaving "All My Children" after two Emmy awards and over 30 years of dedication. What transpired? JB:I first and foremost have no regrets and nothing but good things to say about "AMC", however, when I was offered recurring status, I felt that I deserved better than that. There are no hard feelings towards anyone at "AMC" it was a wonderful place to call home and I'll miss it very much. SONBC: So full of class, dignity and grace. Can you at all talk about how you're character, Brooke will leave the Pine Valley scene? JB: Because I am still considered to be under contract with ABC and AMC I'm afraid that I cannot address how Brooke will be leaving the canvas, what I can talk about however is my upcoming role on "The Light" as a key player in one of Springfield's most historical families. SONBC: Nice segway, so yes let's talk about your new character, Hope Bauer Spaulding. Very historical role, Ed's niece, Alan's ex-wife, Alan-Michael's mother so many great connections. How did the character come about? JB: Well when I decided to not renew my contract word got out there and "The Light" brought me in without an audition, pitched a story and signed me within days. I'm looking forward to playing Hope, she is such a far cry from what Brooke was lately....and by that I mean active and involved in front burning stories. SONBC: So you did sign a contract? JB: Of course! With I might add the promise of a story following my introduction one that begins later this winter. I'll be interacting with entire Bauer clan, Alexandra, Alan and so many wonderful others. I am truly looking forwards to working with this crew. SONBC: Hope Bauer is a complex character, who has been away from Springfield for a very long time, what brings her back? JB: Hope is an amazing character and she returns when Ed calls her when Springfield recieves some disturbing news about Alan-Michael...all that I can really say is that my first two scene partners, Ron Raines and Peter Simon both feel the full force of Hope. Look for Julia Barr to debut as Hope Bauer Santos later this year.

Thanks!!! I knew something big was going to have to happen with Reva's stalker...it being her sister and then Tony taking the bullet for her, it is going to have long legs for Marah when she returns!!!

The Light: Episode 014 Friday, November 17, 2006 The Beacon is secured as everyone reacts to the shooting...Cassie and Josh seem to be fine, but as Reva is standing she sees blood all over her white gown and screams out when she sees... Rick arrives back at the hospital and goes to see Mel. He tells Mel that he needs her to come back to him, now more than ever because he almost done something that would have sent their lives into a downward spiral...Rick begin to tear up and begs her to come back to him... Reva screams out as she sees Tony bleeding and calls out for a doctor and paramedics rushes towards his cousin!! Shayne decides that he is tired of being stuck in the house with everyone and tells Marah he is going to a local bookstore or something. Once there he runs into a guy his own age named Derek Bowden [Matt Lanter]. The two seem to hit it off and Shayne tells Derek that he is visiting his brother and sister-in-law, Derek says he got stuck in Minneapolis because of delayed flights and that he is on his way home to New York City for Thanksgiving. The guys talk...end up having coffee and Shayne leaves. Reva is sobbing at Tony's side and begs him to fight this...she is weeping when the paramedics pushes her aside to see his son, Reva is crying beyond control as Josh takes her in his arms, she finally composes herself and then locks eyes with Roxie and charges after, "What have you done? Why?" Reva asks. At Cedars, Rick is holding Mel's hand as she begins to wake from her coma, asking what happened!! Cassie says that she has to find Danny and Frank tells her that they are going to take Tony to Cedars and that she should find Danny and tell him what happened. Cassie says she will, but asks what is going to happen with Roxie and Franks says that they will put her in jail tonight and deal with her the next day. Rick explains that someone hit her with a car and the doctors put her into a drug related coma so that her body could heal, which apparently it has done. Mel places her hand over her stomach and says she saw the woman who hit her...as Harley arrives with a picture of Roxie Shayne. Danny and Cassie arrive at Cedars just as Tony is arriving in the ambulance...doctors work to stablize him as Danny waits outside... In Washington D.C. Michelle [The role of Michelle Bauer Santos is now being played by Christie Clark] boards the plane and sits down next to a very handsome man her age. She asks where he is headed to and he says that he is going to Oakdale, Illinios. The man introduces himself, Dr. Braxton O'Dell [Jason Campbell]. Michelle says that she grew near Oakdale...the two continue talking throughout the flight, which would connect in Atlanta, Georgia. Reva and Josh arrive at Cedars where they tell Danny and Cassie that Frank has Roxie in custody and that they will question her tomorrow. Reva says that Roxie is her sister and was responsible for stalking her, just as Harley shows the picture to Mel and she identifies her as the woman who ran her over. Rick is stunned to see Roxie after all these years, but does not tell Mel his connection to her. Reva apologizes to Danny and he says that it wasn't her fault and is almost ready to forgive her when a doctor comes out and breaks the news to Danny, that TONY HAS DIED!!!!

Another death...I'm speculating on which Horton is going to bite the bullet.....

The Light: Episode 013 Wednesday, November 15, 2006 Having been asked by Josh to keep an eye on Cassie and Reva...Tony offer his arm to escort Reva on the stage, which she gladly takes. Cassie introduces the Chairwoman of Prince Richard Winslow Foundation, her sister, Mrs. Reva Shayne Lewis...as Judith takes a place in the back of the room. In Chicago, Gus examines the picture and wonders who the woman in the picture could actually be. He decides to then open the journal and begin to read: Back in Springfield...Rick finds himself at Outskirts...where he orders a shot of strong whiskey...the bartender pours him the drink as a woman approaches from behind questioning if Rick really wants to take that drink... Reva addresses the crowd about what a truly wonderful man Richard and that along with his widow and her husband, Joshua a scholarship foundation shall be sat up in conjuction with the building of "The Prince Richard Winslow Memorial Library" in San Cristobel...as the crowd applauses, Judith reaches into her hand bag, clutches a gun and whispers, "This is for you Johnny." Alexandra tells Vera [Played by Jill Larson] that she has a contact at bank in Chicago and that Roy Baker had a safety deposit box there. Vera asks if the secret is out and Alexandra tells her it is not...yet. Vera assures her that she'll do whatever it is to help Alex protect her sercret. Alexandra thanks her and hands her an envelope and says that a suite has been reserved at Towers under Vera's name! Gus continues to read Roy Baker's journal: The last entry dated nine months prior to Gus' birth. Vera arrives at Towers and says her name is Vera Ginatonio Mindy asks Rick again if he really wants to take that drink and he says that it seems like the right thing to do. Mindy tells him to go ahead, drink it...then another, then another and another. Rick asks what she is doing and Mindy says that when Mel wakes up from her coma, she'll want Rick...he has to decide where he wants to be when that happens, by her bedside or slumped over some bar drunk. Rick doesn't say anything and Mindy says that she doesn't want Rick to go down the same path Ed went down...she tells him to make his choice, kisses his cheek and leaves. Rick is left to wonder if he should take the drink or not. Gus decides that it's time to go home to Springfield and find more answers there...while packing up the safety deposit box another picture falls out of Roy's journal with writing on the back: "Roy and Alexandra, February 1970." Mindy recieves a telephone call from her secretary in Paris. She copies the number down and hangs up. Mindy dials the number and Michelle Bauer Santos answers... The applause at The Beacon dies down and suddenly everyone hears from the back of the room, "I baptize myself the slut of Springfield. Nothing but a common whore, a slut, a gold digging murdering jezebel. Isn’t that right Reva? Joshua? Cassie?" The entire party turns toward the woman as she pulls out a gun...Reva is frozen in the moment and whispers, "Roxanne", Cassie is pushed to the ground by an officer, Josh rushes towards Reva...as the gun is fired...police officers take Roxanne down, as Reva is also pushed to the ground, by someone other than a Springfield officer!

The Light: Episode 012 Monday, November 13, 2006 Rick picks up the Get Well card left by Judith and begins to open it... The ball seems to be going off successfully so far. Frank however tells Josh that he is keeping Cassie and Reva secluded away so they can make their grand entrance together, in hopes of luring Reva's stalker out. Josh says that is if the stalker is even really here...as Frank goes to check on the women, Josh grabs Tony and pulls him aside. Alexandra welcomes Vera to the Spaulding mansion. Vera says that she is surprised that Alex isn't off at the big fancy party, living it up. Alexandra tells her that she has more to worry about than that, she tells Vera that the secret she has worked to hide for over thirty years is about to break...Vera asks what Alex wants her to do. Alexandra says she's glad that she's asked and slams the bracelet down on the table! Before Frank arrives, Cassie and Reva are alone. Cassie reassures her sister that everything is going to be all right and that nothing bad is going to happen. Just then a knock is heard and an usher from the party delivers a note to Cassie, addressed to Reva... At the same time, Rick is opening the "Get Well" card for Mel...Both he and Reva read the same thing at the same time, "“Tonight is the night you both pay for your sins.” Rick begins to worry and calls Lillian into Mel's room...she says she doesn't know what is going on and Rick tells her to call Harley. At the ball, Marina stops Harley and tells her that she has to tell her something. Harley however is taken away by Lillian's call and she rushes off to find Frank! Reva is shaken by the note and feels uneasy about going through with the ball, but Cassie convinces her that it has to be done, just as Frank arrives. Cassie shows Frank the note and he says that most likely Reva's stalker is here, just as Harley enters with news about Rick's note...both are shocked to learn they are the same and Harley races off to Cedars, questioning where Gus is at. Lizzie enters the ball, her true identity complete disguised. She is asked to dance by a man who is also in complete costume. The two don't speak, just dance and afterwards, Lizzie is left speechless! Harley arrives at Cedars just as Frank phones her to tell her that he believes Reva's stalker has also been targeting Mel, because of the hit-and-run and now the note. Frank tells Harley that he's sending over uniforms to watch Mel's room, because he believes the stalker is at The Beacon. Before she leaves, Harley informs Rick of what is going on and he is in shock! Gus opens the safety deposit box and begins going through the contents of it: A picture of a very young Roy Baker with a man named “Locke” dated one year prior to Gus’ birth ; Another picture of a man and woman, written on the back of the photograph is Locke & Girlfriend ; Roy Baker's journal ; newspaper clippings about Brandon Spaulding and the founding of Spaulding Enterprises and in the very bottom of the box he finds a picture with writing on the back...

(Jason and Liz) Favorite line of GH: S&L "Liz mounts Jason, the lust pouring out of them like water as they begin tearing each other’s clothes off. “Make love to me Jason,” Elizabeth whispers in anticipation."

That however is not the answer and Rick realizes that sooner rather that later which is a good thing for him. "The Light" has invited Krista Tesreau to remain with the series as a regular guest star. "I love the character of Mindy but there is no room on my canvas at this time to have as a regular, contract player." Says Hawkins, "But we will be using her from time to time as a story would require." Which will be next week as Rick tempts the bottle, look for Tesreau to appear in Episode 012.

Something along those lines...yeah, I suppose.

I don't recall the name, but doctors give patients that have been in serious accidents the drug to keep them sleeping. My mother was given it when she was ill. You'll be surprised what you learn when you're in a hospital for a month. What it does is keep your body away from pain and allow itself to heal. What will also happen is either the patient will awake from the coma, a'la the drug wears off or is stopped or the patient drifts into a much deeper coma.
