When Reel Life Meets Real Life

[Quent]

Love this thread! Keep the juicy stuff coming...much more entertaining than what's on the screen these days.

[RuAsRuAnAu]

Do you have more info about the above statements, TC Greene? Send me a message via SON.

[AmandainNC28655]

The ones I somewhat remember are:

Eva LaRue and John Callahan's marriage and the eventualcrumbling of their marriage

Kelly Ripa and Mark Conseulos' secret marriage in Las Vegas

The behind-the-scenes tensions on Days between Kristan Alfonso and Lisa Rinna.

In the 80's, it was no secret that Kristian Alfonso and Peter Reckell did not get along with each other when their characters were first paired together.

Melissa Reeves departure from Days during her popular first run as Jennifer, due to her affair with Jason Brooks who played Peter Blake.

Maurice Benards battle with depression. He and his wife have been on Oprah discussing this.

The firing of Kari Wurher from GH, because she found out she was pregnant and some show execs said something along the lines of that she could not be sexy???

The firing and lawsuit of Hunter Tylo against Aaron Spelling, when he fired her from the role of Taylor on Melrose Place, a role that later went to Lisa Rinna. All of this because Tylo was pregnant with one of her daughters.

Deidre Hall and her hubby at the time, quest to be parents via a surrogate.

This one is primetime, but it was the firing of Shannen Doherty from 90210 due to her off set shenanigans, fights with co-stars, her constant tardiness to work, etc. Also, it was her brief marriage to Ashely Hamilton, when he was on Sunset Beach back in the 90's that made news.

The behind-the-scenes tension between Susan Lucci and Sarah Michelle Gellar from AMC.

Apparently, many Y&R thespians disliked Victoria Rowell. I cannot imagine her being unlikeable in the least bit. She is just fabulous. If this is true, then I guess it is due to jealousy among the cast.

[Paul Raven]

Jerry Douglas (John Y&R) had some cosmetic surgery done on his eyes in the 90's and it was written into the script in a throwaway scene where John told Ashley that he'd had the same procedure.

It was weird because it was out of character for John Abbott and truthfully wasn't that noticeable.

Imagine if some our more senior performers had their off screen work written into the show-Days would be working overtime to give them all a mention!!!

The backstage battles between Rauch/Lemay and Reinholt/Courtney that saw the latter two fired and defect to ABC.

At OLTL Jacquie was involved with the producer Joe Stuart-in a magazine spread,his photo was visible on her bedside table!

When Joe Stuart departed in 83,Jacquie's character Pat also departed.

[AMCer]

Kate Collins and James Kibeard supposedly disliked each other a whole lot at AMC in the early 90s. Here is an EW story about it from the early 90s. http://www.ew.com/ew/article/0,,311424,00.html

Didn't Hunter Tylo hire some little person bodyguard to defend her against Kimberlin Brown or something? Because Brown testified that Tylo was a bad mother.

Um, WHAT?! Erections during a fight scene? Surely , YOU JEST.

[DaytimeFan]

Well...speaking from experience I have to say that I have witnessed Victoria Rowell in 'action' and I wouldn't doubt that she could be very difficult to work with. It was at a charity fund raiser...Victoria basically acted very 'superior' to everyone else in the room (a room filled with people who aren't used to being anything but the best) and while I didn't speak to her the table she was seated at was directly behind mine. Basiclly, Victoria conducted herself with this odd mix of superiority and politeness...I'm wondering if perhaps she just didn't feel a bit out of her element and was a touch defensive. I won't ever really know.

Listen, she's obviously a talented woman and a huge asset to Y&R...but RuAsRuAnAu I have to tell you: a peach she ain't. I can see how her attitude would be off putting...sort of a lack of a sense of humor.

[TC]

Jealous? Jealous of what?

Don't get me wrong. I love Victoria Rowell. But I either laugh or have the urge to tear my hair out whenever the "J" word turns up.

[Paul Raven]

Does anyone recall the details of Jordan Clarke's (Billy GL) arrest for cocaine possesssion?

Did it result in his dismissal?

Was Geoffrey Scott cast in the role because of that incident?

[Paul Raven]

Whem Marcy Walker (Eden SB) and Michael E Knight (Tad AMC) both renewed their contracts with NBC and ABC respectively,their spouses at the time -Billy Warlock and Catherine Hickland,both popped up on sister soaps at the same networks.

Coincidence,or part of the deal?

[RuAsRuAnAu]

This bggest one so far in 2007? Someone impersonating Ko*a Bo*f on internet message boards. Wikipedia even blocked her page indefinately. Why do people hate B*of so much? Is it jealousy? She can help to "save" daytime.

RuAsRuAnAu, I do agree with you on K*la B**f. I've never bought that she was ErikaKane4Life because she had nothing to gain from that. Why create the controversy when she was already speaking her mind under her real name at WoST? She also had two soap jobs which the ErikaKane person helped her lose. Say it was [!@#$%^&*], wouldn't she have dropped ErikaKane after that drama lost her the job at DAYS? It makes no sense really.

I enjoyed her work on Y&R and I still hope that she gets her shot at soaps. I read an outline of a fantastic story she had planned for the DiMera's at DAYS and it knocks anything Hogan did out of the water. For all those sick of the fued being all about Sami and EJ, I don't even recall them being mentioned. Actually, this story would've began long before the fued, so it would've just been one good story on top of whatever she'd do with the Anna, Tony and Stefano returns. I also read her radically different take on Daniel's porn addiction (which was her idea) at Y&R. In the story I read he actually had a legitimate reason and it involved the entire family in a very character driven way.

Of course my source could be blowing smoke up my ass, but the stuff she told me was so detailed that I tend to believe. Plus, it's not like she has spread these stories all over the net to restart the drama. If what I read was truly from the mind of [!@#$%^&*], she'd be a godsend to any soap on air. My first choice would be ATWT, which I think she'd have a legitimate shot at revamping and seeing positive results.
