When Reel Life Meets Real Life

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.

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.

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.

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.

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?

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.

    • Yes, I am sure not everyone remembers Brook Lynn's romance with the Text Message Killer or her foray into being a paid escort first by Carly and then by Nik.  Those two examples you cited are when Amanda was actually in the role and are relatively recent.
    • These things especially make the retcon weird. 
    • May 16th interview with Cherie Jimenez.   30 minutes long. (for Vee, she's the current Gabi -- mother of Will&Sonny's daughter Arianna. Cherie has been airing since June 2024). This previously posted on the spoiler thread because it mentioned the casting of Marissa Reyes as SORASed Arianna Horton, and the recent scene where Gabi noticed Arianna wasn't in her room. Now that all of this has aired, I'm bringing it over to the main thread, as there are no spoilers anymore. Cherie is 40.  Marissa is 21, playing an 18-year-old.  Cherie is aware that they look more like sisters than mother/daughter.  Interestingly, Cherie said that in real life, her own mother was a teen when Cherie was born, and that people commonly mistake Cherie and her mom as sisters. Most of the interview is about Cherie as Gabi, getting cast, working with Brandon Barash, working with Casey Moss.

    • So, I guess John might be on the way out now that Robert is back and Nate's body has been found....  Or are they going to jump through hoops to keep him on the show and make us watch two Sugdens fight over a Dingle?

    • I preferred the Devil spawn delivery of the previous Rachel. She felt like the perfect child of Kristen DiMera and all the dysfunction she’s been through. The new actress is just a sweet girl.
    • I just read a new post where PersonB was quoting personA and I wanted to comment on the post so I started to quote ... with  I myself as the PersonC. I tried to quote what PersonB quoted from PersonA.  It should have been attributed to PersonA, but before submitting the post, I checked to see how it would display, and it automatically misatributed PersonA's words to PersonB.  So I didn't click to submit the post. So yes this is an ongoing glitch. I will need to take the time to go back and find the original post from PersonA to quote that.

    • I think the story in theory is good.  I don't believe Brook Lynn, Lois, and Dante are the right characters for this.  It becomes wild retcon on top of wild retcon. We watched AL's Brook Lynn talk about losing her virginity to Diego.  Dante and BLQ had multiple conversations about them always being friends.  Dante told Lulu nothing ever happened between him and Brook Lynn.  We saw Cody and Brook Lynn meet on the show.  There was no indication they knew one another previously.  Brook Lynn faked an entire pregnancy for Maxie and wasn't triggered at all by her previous pregnancy?  Brook Lynn never once questioned Gio's existence and her family's obsessiveness over him?  I mean, that fact was added like a month ago, but c'mon, Brook Lynn's not that dumb. Am I enjoying the fallout of this story? Yes, but you practically have to throw out everything you knew about Lois, BLQ, and Dante to make it work and that is annoying to me. With Setton in the role we've already lost Brook Lynn's unique style, edge and her singing talent.  Brook Lynn's basically become an entirely different character and not in a good way.
    • The recast really tanked the character.  I was team Sophia when Madelyn Kientz played her.  I liked her more than Holly.  Now Sophia just walks around on the verge of tears looking meek and scared.  I think now that the show has recast and aged Ari, Sophia is probably on her way out.
