You could be right Josh. I had just heard the lines several times and felt her comeback to him was supposed to be "does that scare you?" and she drew a blank. But anyway, it was enlightening regarding the two wannabes. When I hear actors say someone is a very giving actor, I imagine that they help the other over fumbles, as well as giving the correct emotions to play against.

I so agree about the Evangeline-type girl. She is gorgeous, fresh and so very appealing too. I would say cast her for Jett, but I would hate for the poor thing to have to react to wood, being a newbie and all.

In my opinion, Days desperately needs women and I do hope a woman wins this competition. The 25-30 age group is woefully deficient.

Travis could be great as Brady Black, perhaps? Alec Musser has proven that its better to come in as a recast character with ties to existing people on the canvas, than it is to come on as a total new face (i.e. Mykel Shannon Jenkins, Mikey Jerome).

Days could use a male for Billie. She needs a love interest bad. I love Travis and Monica. They feel the most "real." I feel more drawn in by them both then anyone. I could see Travis as Brady. Good casting that would be.

Loving MBE and HS as judges. Could Bruno be anymore looks-driven? Then, he goes and knocks a girl's accent? Ugh. Replace him as a judge next.

I'm watching the Bewitched movie with Nicole Kidman and I've noticed the set used for the bedroom on Soapstar is from the movie...the scenes where they're shooting Bewitched in a hotel room, the hotel room set is the exact same as the one used on Soapstar.

How odd is that?

Here's what I can guess...

Bewitched was made by Columbia Pictures, which owns/is part of Sony Pictures, which makes Days.

Maybe when Bewitched was made in 2005 they figured it was a nice set to keep around; was it ever used on DAYS?

Billie needs singlehood bad. Must every character always be dating, married to, or having sex with someone?

Many people disliked Sheffer's comments about the importance of good looks over acting talent. Seems like Bruno is not the only one in daytime that put good looks on a pedestal.

I was shocked that Travis acted so badly in the last show but still was surprised he was axed. He was my fave guy. I thought he had a very good chance of winning and thought (too) that he'd be good as a NuBrady Black. I think Ashleigh is good, but she needs to improve. I do think she might be good as Evangeline on ONE LIFE, but also might make a good relative of Lexie's on DAYS. I think Monica looks like Renée Elise Goldsberry and would make a good Layla (although I like Tika Sumpter as Layla). I agree that Monica also would be good as a Dani Frye re-cast on AMC. I hate Justin's eyebrows, they make him look gay (sorry). Guys should NOT arch their eyebrows!! I don't even like women doing it much, lol. Only some women look good w/ eyebrows arched. Justin's a good actor, but don't see him on DAYS (maybe as a gay character).

Will there be another season of I Wanna Be A Soap Star? If so, for what show will wannabe thespians be competing to be on? I think it's going to be for Y&R with Karen Rea and possibly LML being the judges. If only Victoria Rowell were still on the show. That woman just rocks!

      Well, Mo should have tried harder lol GH has had the narrative for years that Sonny is "good" mob and everyone else is "bad" mob.  It's never made any sense no matter how many characters tell us that.  How about no mob?  That's the best kind of mob

      I'll be brief with this response because it is veering into Classic thread territory, but I agree about the Taggert writing especially when the show revealed he worked with/was mentored by Deke and knew Sonny killed him.  It gave Taggert a bias that was unnecessary and made it seem like he was a poor judge of character, so the audience was already primed to dislike him even if Taggert was right. Plus, Garcia and Taggert were pretty obnoxious, especially early on lol.

      ALL: General Retro Soap Discussion

      By Contessa Donatella · Posted

      THE ROAD OF LIFE from 12-13-1984 to 7-1-1955. But this soap had been on radio & very popular from as far back as 1937. Then in 1954 P&G suggested to Irna Phillips that she develop this project for television & P&G would sponsor it. It may have been the beginnings of the sponsor-owned soaps.

      SOD Where Are They Now? She left daytime more than 25 years ago, but GUIDING LIGHT fans have not forgotten Lynne Adams (ex-Leslie, GUIDING LIGHT, 1963-71; 1973-76; ex-Amy, SECRET STORM, 1971-72). She's one of Digest's most frequently requested "what ever happened to...." GL alums — a pleasant surprise to the actress. "I'm really flattered," she smiles, then admits that fans still occasionally recognize Leslie Jackson Bauer Norris Bauer. "It's amazing because I haven't done it for so many years." By Melissa Scardaville   The years that she did spend there were good ones. "My main memory is of all the women I knew on the show, like Charita [Bauer, ex-Bert], and Fran Myers [ex-Peggy] used to be a great friend of mine." Adams's main storyline — the tortured triangle of Mike/Leslie/Ed — was also a bright spot. "I really enjoyed doing it, until the character got married [to Mike] and she was happy." That, in turn, was the impetus for Adams to leave. "The character got boring, frankly," she shares. "It was very conservative and boring and happy. Not that happy is bad; happy is great, but it's not that great on a soap opera. You want to have some conflict and drama, and her biggest drama was that she was worried that her stepdaughter was going to get involved with some guy. It just wasn't interesting, so I left."   GL has ties to Adams's current project, Made-Up, a comedy about our culture of beauty that she wrote, starred in (with her sister, Brooke Adams, as well as brother-in-law Tony Shalhoub and Eva Amurri) and produced with Sister Films, a company she founded with Brooke. "The whole time I was on GUIDING LIGHT, I used to dye my hair because I went white when I was about 16," she shares. "After I had been off the soap for a while, I let my hair go, and it was shocking the difference in the way people treated me. You feel like you've disappeared and you're not a viable person somehow. Then, I would go to an audition wearing a wig, and suddenly it was a whole different story again."   That experience led her to write a one-woman show, Two-Faced, which she performed for nine years. Adams then embarked upon the arduous task of taking a version of the play to the screen — "One time, we had the $5 million in the bank and Kevin Kline couldn't do it and all the money fell apart." But, thanks to her husband, George Fifield, a media arts curator, she eventually got it shot on video as a mockumentary. "It's a movie that people who used to know me would love to see," she notes. To check if the film is coming to your area, log onto www.madeupthemovie.com. Adams also points out, "If you click 'Contact,' that [e-mail] comes to me, and I'll answer it."   Sure, her plate is full now, but would Adams ever return to soaps? "If you had asked me two years ago, I would have said yes. If you had asked me 10 years ago, I would have said no. Right now, I live in Boston, so that would make it kind of impossible," she chuckles. "But I loved doing soaps. It was a hard job, but it was really fun. I used to have some relationships with some of the people who watched the show who would write to me. I miss all that."

      Thank you for this!  My guess is that they had actresses audition as backup in case Tunie said no. Debbi Morgan mentioned she was asked but turned them down and I imagine it was likely for Anita as well. I love that they sent her a letter acknowledging her advocacy.  I hope that down the line they consider her for another role. We need two Articulettes!

      Very interesting - thanks, @P.J. and @DeeVee!  This makes me want to go back in time and start my watch at '89. I think I'm going to power through just a little more of '96 right now just to see A-M/Lucy marry (so I can see their happy ending), how Phillip enters the picture, more of Alex vs. Amanda (because that's so funny/amusing to me), and what happens to Blake's twin babies (the only things really keeping me going right now).

      Today marks the 139th anniversary of Emily Dickinson’s death. She died on May 15, 1886 at the age of 55. WalMart has said their prices are going up. As ideas go, I am againsr this one.
