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.

      I felt for Ted early on but as the story unfolded it has changed my opinion on him. To know he was cheating while his wife was struggling to give him a baby is a lot to deal with. Plus, this happened ages ago and still he's paying Leslie off and threatening her to leave town.  What really caused me to lose him in this episode was how even though he was busted, he still refused to take responsibility and come clean and the way he talked to Martin and Eva was terrible. To tell Smitty he better get Martin away from him when that is his SON who he used to cover up his affair? That is true dog behavior. Ted seems upset he got caught but I'm not seeing the remorse I would need to want Nicole to forgive him. I'm curious how I'll feel after Ted gets to talk to Nicole but I need him to fix it with the rest of the family as well.

      ALL: Drag/Crossdressing Disguises in Soap Operas?

      By Contessa Donatella · Posted

      I'm sorry. I well remember Jake doing Doris but I have no independent memory of the story around it.  Krystle with a K Lake, sure, both Tony the Tuna stories & NOT.  And, Jake also impersonated a woman named Bunny Eberhardt but he didn't know she was a woman so there was no drag. This weekend I re-watched Kevin & Mac, GH, and my strong impression is exactly what it was when I watched it in real time: They did not let them look very pretty. Of course, I think the best ever drag on GH was Alexis posing as the Q butler.  In a different use of drag at AW one Halloween, Jensen Buchanan went as Charlie Chaplin & Judi Evans went as, I think, a male gypsy.

      I'm not sure who wanted them to dump REUNION & instead do a "Dallas-like daytime show" but it seems that it def came from NBC to AW through Rauch, so, yes, it absolutely could have been his (cough-another-stupid?) decision!!!! I've just begun the new Lisanti book so maybe I will find out. (I waited for the kindle version to come out.) I would apologize for being so critical & so sarcastic, too, but, well, I'm not actually sorry!  Silverman was NOT a friend to AW.  And, I believe the critique is on point & deserved! I wanted to explain why I think the timing is off for the 90 minute show to be a reaction to the GH Luke & Laura story & its hype. Because, for sure, networks & production companies did react to it! The first 90 minute show was Monday, March 5, 1979.  And, there was some unknown amount of time ahead of that with people arguing about it & then, planning it.  The Luke & Laura wedding was mid-November 1981.  They were on the run from Frank Smith & stayed overnight in Wyndham's Dept. Store early August 1980.

      Yes, I am familiar with Fred Silverman. Agree, the 90 minute AW a very poor decision by Silverman. I think Silverman was behind the decision to go with Texas.

      I really wonder how they'll handle Netflix's usual long breaks between seasons. That girl is going to grow up fast... makes me wonder if this wouldn't have been a better fit for HBO Max considering they're leaning into a more broadcast style of production model with The Pitt.

      I agree -- I didn't suspect Ted, either. I think a lot of people are giving themselves way too much credit in predicting Ted's problems

      And can I have a different take on Ted here? Yes, he's made a huge mistake with this Leslie debacle, and yes, he has to suffer and pay for it. But does that make Ted a terrible human being? I don't think it does. He made a horrific mistake over 2 decades ago, and as far as we know, he's been a good husband and father since. As far as we know, he hasn't strayed or violated his marriage since. He didn't know that he fathered another child, and thought he "removed" Leslie from his life. I won't blame Nicole if she doesn't forgive him, but I also won't blame her if she decides what they have and what they've had more than makes up for what he did. Ted is getting dragged far more than Bill is on these boards, and I think Bill is MUCH worse as a husband and father. How many times did he cheat on Dani during their marriage? How many times did he do vile things in his role as fixer? How much did he hurt his daughters by screwing their friend and marrying her? With Keith Robinson coming in as Ted, maybe we'll see a character change in direction and we'll discover that Ted has many flaws and always had a dark side. For now, though, I'm inclined to both be angry with Ted for hurting his family while also sympathizing with him. I know what you mean, but I do think that was intentional. So much was going on in that episode, and I think they decided not to let Nicole's reaction be lost in all that. Nicole will get those scenes that you're asking for.

      In Loving Memory: Ruth Buzzi (Letitia Bradford, Days, 1983)

      By JAS0N47 · Posted

      That was the original point of me sending you her 6 airdates, so now with those, and the link to the daily episode guide I've provided, that should help you more easily find the additional Ruth Buzzi scenes. I will always repeat myself when it comes to defending my data that I've taken decades to research and compile. But, as you pointed out in a recent post, I am kind, so at least I will do it with you in a kind way as opposed to the usual social media way most people do with just getting rude/nasty. That's not my style, as you correctly pointed out earlier this week, and never will be.  So, all is well!

      Ambyr Michelle continues to be *that girl.* She’s just a star, period. Elevates every scene she’s in on the sheer strength of her emotional realism and charisma. Can sell any dialogue. I wish the show veered away from the B&B-style scripting. TMG/Leslie’s tirade stood out, I suppose, but she’s getting a bit mustache-twirly. And I wish DD had more to do in that episode than stand and sob.
