More exits!

The Revolving door keeps turning at World Turns. On the heels of Grayson McCouch (ex-Dusty), Cady McClain (ex-Rosanna) Scott Bryce (Craig), Ryan Serhant (evan) and Wally Kurth (Sam), comes word that Jennifer Landon and Jesse Soffer (Gwen and Will) will both be exiting in March.

"It's a group thing," explains Landon of her decision to exit with acting partner Soffer. "we already know what's going to happen, knowing that we'll be leaving together."

The actress, who joined ATWT in 2005, describes her tenure with the show as "good times", adding "I learned so much and I'm so grateful."

But some of her co-stars aren't so grateful. Sources say the slew of roster changes has the ATWT cast on edge, and vets like McClain have already been vocal about the show's policies toward the cast and the crew. "Half the crew was getting fired the following day." she noted to Weekly about her last day on-set.

So buckle up: These may not be the last exits from Oakdale.

Stage hands Win Grievance at ATWT

The Writer's Guild isn't the only union conflice going on at As The World Turns. the stagehands' union (IATSE, Local 4) recently won what one actor called a "massive grievance" against the Brooklyn-based soaps. Accoring to insiders, the taping schedule was changed to span only four days, Monday to Thursday. While this move saved money, the stagehands filed, and won, a grievance against the show. Since the episodes aired five days a week, union members were entitled to five days' worth of pay, whether they actually worked them or not. hence, ATWT has returned to a five-day workweek.

at press time. calls to Local 4 had not been returned. Reps for P&G and CBS declined comment.

    • Poor Chelsea... having Bill and Dani for parents has to suck.  And while the acting during the Chelsea/Dani scene was good (Karla, for once dialing it back)... I still view it as Dani making it all about her.  Narcissists like Dani will never change   
    • Love love love that casting choice. Chip can read a bish like no other .
    • Chip Fields. She does mostly directing now but she might be coaxed into another acting gig.
    • I think Kassie was a decent enough support figure on GL but probably not able to play complexity (most of the ingenues who came and went on GL couldn't), although they didn't really give her any either. She once said that they gave Blake everything that had once been there for Chelsea. She does better on OLTL but that took a while too.
    • Chelsea and Dani's scene was just fantastic.  I was instantly reminded of my own coming out to my mother. Karla and RhonniRose gave me all the feels. Just wonderful.   Im kinda glad that the show has kept Andre and Ashley as friends and didnt take it there while she was sad about Derek. Leslie is such a damn menace and Im eating it up. I read that the show is looking to cast her mother. I hope they cast someone as delicious as Tricia is.
    • He's so talented and good looking some people get all the genes lol. I think the acoustics always sound weird to me when it's on the GH stage.  I am not exactly a musical snob, but his violin always sounds too high pitched when he's playing on camera.  It's clearly not like that in his videos so it has to be something else.
    • Im tearing up at the Chelsea and Dani scene. That was beautifully done
    • Yay! More or less their first? Or Gossip Girl.

    • How are we 50+ episodes in and Hayley has had little to no independent character development? She started off as one of the show's heavy hitters in the first couple of weeks due to storyline but has faded into the background more and more every subsequent week. They've made no effort to integrate the character into the canvas outside of being Bill's "child bride." It's really bothering me because I like the actress and I think she has potential. Can she get a friend or at least scenes without Bill? I'm now at the point where I like Derek more than Ashley. That's how bad things have gotten with her. The actress isn't terrible but she isn't very good either and the writing for her been abysmal.
    • I find it so odd people have such a hard time with Kat’s wardrobe, I just assume they haven’t been exposed to much diversity.
