From DC: http://daytimeconfidential.com/2009/05/a-m...oon-blind-items

*This soap executive producer is busy trying to convince a rising, young star to stay on his or her sudser, even though the person-in-question has told everyone and their Mama they're quitting. Will the show convince them to stay? If so, what will that mean for the heavily-pimped exit storyline the show already had planned?

*A network executive is reported to be in quite the bidding war with one of the executive producers of one of his or her own soaps over one of the struggling soap's biggest stars! The corporate shark wants to pluck the star for one of their network's higher profile shows, meanwhile the struggling soap is desperately trying to keep the coveted soaper.

*This popular soap star came thisclose to remaining on his or her network, when a sister soap came up with a storyline to spin the thesp over to their daytime drama. Too bad the network chief nixed the idea. Oh well, the talented entertainer has already booked a new gig.

*A wildly popular soap superstar is rumored to reprise his or her role on this soap opera this summer for a blink-and-you'll miss it guest stint. Could the return be in conjunction with a family tragedy?

*Frustrated fans wondering when they will see storyline payoff on one daytime drama shouldn't hold their breath. The storylines denoument is likely to be scrapped, because the network brass keeps rejecting every finale the soap proposes.

My bets are; the first one is Crishelle Stause, the second one is probably something to do with CBS wanting to pluck one of the GL stars for another show before it ends. Can't think of the third one, maybe Ric Hearst? The fourth one, I can't think? The fifth one has ABC written all over it sinnce Frons is so keen on interfering with storylines.

CS at AMC

No idea.. maybe ABC and Sarah brown?

Rick H?

I wanna say someone at OLTL

The last one is so OLTL

#3 has to be Rick Hearst. I'm thinking #4 may be Kelly Ripa?

DC pulling more crap out of their asses?

#3--Rick Heasrt, to AMC (with Robin Christopher's Skye providing a connection).

I think the fifth one is either GL, since it is ending and a few of its stories are in need of a conclusion, or an ABC soap since Frons supposedly excercises a lot of contol over those soaps.

Yes.

That site has become so obnoxious.

I'm guessing Kelly Monaco

Gotta be Rick Hearst

Kelly Ripa for the win

Guidng Light or OLTL

I agree with the Kelly Ripa guess. Makes a lot of sense. As for the last one, my guess is OLTL and Rex's father.

I wonder if the Ric Heart guess is right if Chuck Pratt wanted him for his new D.A role.....

If any of this is true, I agree with Cashton's Kelly Ripa and Kelly Monaco guesses. Kelly Ripa will be at the funeral. Frons probably wants to do more with Kelly Monaco, especially since GH may be on its last legs.

I'm not good at these so....

No idea. I assume its ABC. Who from AMC is Frons trying to lure to GH?

Gotta be Rick Hearst

Agreed. I've seen some people suggest him as the next Kevin Buchanan on OLTL. God knows I adore Dan G. but I believe he's now gone by choice. Hearst would've made an excellent Kevin 12.0.

*A wildly popular soap superstar is rumored to reprise his or her role on this soap opera this summer for a blink-and-you'll miss it guest stint. Could the return be in conjunction with a family tragedy?

Kelly Ripa with a remote possibility of Robin Christopher instead of or perhaps in conjunction.

For all of GL's issues, I think TPTB want to say a decent goodbye. OLTL couldn't find a decent story resolution if it was tied to a bed in a frat house.

I definitly agree with Kelly Ripa being #4..but in my heart Im hoping its Robin Christopher (although its a long shot).

Edited May 16, 200916 yr by Ms. Chandler Quartermaine

I wondered if #4 might be the DHs, Mary Beth Evans, or Stephen Nichols.

#5 sounds like GH to me, as Daytime Confidential loves "Liasion" and the show seems reluctant to go there.

I think the first one might be Van Hansis at ATWT. He has recently discussed openly about not resigning. Chrishell Stause on the other hand has not and I think that is a done deal.
