I went to the above play over the weekend and it was amazing. to see these actors and actress' play aanother role was great, at first i thought i would never be able to not see them as the char on the soaps... but they were all amazing. Michelle Stafford & Chris leblanc were incredable. I did not see Michael & Phyliss when they were on. To my shock Emily O'Brian & Daniel G. were also powerful. (aide note: emily o'brian was on the phone with woody allen/or his people re taking a role in a new play he is doing. i ovehreard it...). Judith Chapman is one firece woman. she asked for no flash photos, no video recording, and no noise. and she met it. and she got it. it was the most quiet thing ever in that room except for the actors.

the message of play was great and it is an amazing story. the daughter of the couple involved in the original trial was there and spoke. it was great. its amazing how this still stands true today.

after the play you got to have wine and snaks and chat up the cast.

oh and i must also say that John C (ex-edmund, amc) was not good and was by far the weak link in the play, and i was shocked. also not that it matter re his performance but wow has he let himself go. bad.

Judith was great and came out to the area first. she thanked everyone for comming and then worked a room like i had never seen a star do before - and we all know i have met many a stars. she would stay in an area and talk to people and then excusae herself and go to the other side to find other talk to. sometimes i find this annoying as you almost have to hunt them down to meet them, but with her i knew she ould coem up and meet me. and thats how it happened.

emily o'brian was nice and cute and sweet. the guy who plays korbell had a huge group of people around him so i skipped him. chris was funny and nice and charmig as always. greg had mosty of the younger crowd around him. michelle was a riot. shes sooo much fun. we had a convo that involved a lot of bad words about how cold it was, lol. daniel g. is the sexiest man. you ahve no idea of the sex appeal he puts out there in person.

Below is a brief discription of the char's along with what actor played them-

Chris LeBlanc as Father Daniel Berrigan, a Jesuit priest;

Vincent Irizarry as Father Philip Berrigan, a Josephite priest;

Rodney Tethal as Bro. David Darst;

John Callahan as John Hogan;

Greg Rikarrt as Tom Lewis, an artist;

Emily O'Brien as Marjorie Bradford Melville;

Eyal Podell as Thomas Melville, a former Maryknoll priest;

Daniel Goddard as George Mische;

Michelle Staffordas Mary Moylan, a former nun.

Sounds really good! I have often wondered what it would be like to see soap stars momentarily step out of their existing roles and play somebody radically different. I think it's kind of cool that these stars (mostly Y&R) took it upon themselves to direct, produce and star in a play in order to push their boundaries.

I can totally believe that Daniel Goddard is insanely hot in person. You know who else I suspect of being the hotness IRL? Michael Grazadei. Something about that devilish glint in his eye.

Sorry to hear about John Callahan who sounds like he's going through a tough time if his acting and physical appearance is anything to go by.

Judith Chapman is pretty well known for directing plays and doing lots of different projects and maintaining contacts that way. My mom who is a Murder, She Wrote fan (yeah, don't ask) keeps spotting her guest-starring on old MSWs. JC has appeared at least three times playing different characters -- including once as the victim and once as the murderer. LOL.

    • You're probably right. They may have just wanted edits of certain characters. Hopefully the rest is around.
    • Of course!

      I'm wondering if there were bits cut from this footage, because to me it seems that may be the case. At 11:23, Laurie tells her psychiatrist that the bar phoned and told her Mark got into a fight and needs to be picked up. It starts to fade to the next scene, you hear some different music begin and get cut off between the static, and where you'd expect to see the aftermath of the fight, we cut back to a later scene of Laurie in bed worrying about what's happening. The credits at the end also show that more than Mark, Laurie and Dr. Northcote should have been in this episode. Another character, Brody, played by Ed Setrakian, is mentioned but not shown. If this is the case, perhaps the original fan who saved this episode has the additional scenes.
    • Anyway… It’s a shame that the video that depicted Leticia’s death was removed from YT.

    • Ms. Phelps holds a BFA in directing from Carnegie Mellon University, awarded in 1972. At a time when women were underrepresented in directing programs, she was one of the few women in her graduating class. To suggest that she possessed no further talents than completely changing the style of music used on soaps seems like a vast underestimate when one reads her online biography through an objective lens. I guess that I should be more clever than to constantly blame misogyny for these misguided interpretations of her management style.  But, I'll never comprehend why fans unquestionably align their opinions even years after fact. Post-modernism, and the ability to reinterpret context through the study of history, seems to elude this conversation.

    • This is 100% correct.  It was even on the nightly news where the US Government would not let the cast and crew travel to Egypt because it was deemed not safe.  The Achille Lauro hijacking took place on October 7, 1985, when the Italian ocean liner MS Achille Lauro was hijacked by four men representing the Palestine Liberation Front off the coast of Egypt, as she was sailing from Alexandria to Ashdod, Israel. The location shoot was probably scheduled to be filmed in mid-October to air throughout November with a two week tape to air date.  Remember on the show they did some in studio scenes doubling for Egypt before shifting the action to Arizona.  It was an awkward end to a truly bizarre storyline.

      New episode from late 1973 or early 1974!
    • Coronation Street had a very good story where one of the characters befriended a man who she later learned had been involved in her husband's death - when told right it can be very powerful (not like AMC trying to make it a romance). ATWT almost had a big fire in mid-1994, so this seemed to be a "thing" with P&G at the time. I guess it fits the disaster backstage atmosphere.
