ON SOAP OPERA DIGEST AND WEEKLY ONLINE

http://www.soapoperadigest.com/soapstarstats/kristianalfonsobio/

Kristian Alfonso developed an early passion for figure skating. She became a Junior Olympic Champion with bright prospects, until a tobogganing accident caused multiple fractures to her landing leg. The Wilhelmina modeling agency offered Alfonso a contract, and by age 15, her "fancy face" graced the covers of Vogue and Harper’s Bazaar. An NBC casting director saw her photographs and gave Alfonso her first acting role, opposite Rock Hudson in THE STAR MAKER (1981), a TV movie. She was then asked to audition for Hope Williams on DAYS OF OUR LIVES, but she passed, fearing she might actually land the role and have to move to Los Angeles. A year later, she did audition. When she tripped and fell down the staircase in the Horton house during her screen test, her clumsiness captivated producers and she was cast. Alfonso left the role in 1987, returned in 1990 for a 13-week stint and came back once again in 1994 as amnesiac Gina. She has played Gina as Hope, Hope, and Princess Gina.

Scott Hamilton Expected to Recover After Brain Surgery

Benign tumor reappears after six-year absence

Olympic skating legend Scott Hamilton underwent brain surgery, after a benign tumor that was removed in 2004 came back.

The 51-year-old figure skating gold medalist from the 1984 games is expected to make a full recovery, his representative told People magazine.

"They're happy with the progress of the entry process and now [doctors] can begin to get rid of the tumor, spokeswoman Michelle Thornbury said Wednesday, midway through the operation.

The surgery was done at a Boston hospital, with Hamilton's wife, Tracie, and brother, Steve, on hand to provide support. Hamilton could be back home by next week, Thornbury said.

    • 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.

    • I apologize in advance for asking y'all questions about who half these people are or what they're doing as I reenter this show after quite awhile.
    • Speaking of that story, it led me to this scene, which was part of a story I despised (it was one of the reasons I would skip wide swathes of the show at this time), but is another reminder of what a good actress Kim Zimmer was when given the material. I was a fan of Edmund's in spite of the many bad things he did - I think I was mostly just a fan of DAM, but I did often feel sorry for Edmund - but this story is one time where if Reva had put a cap in his ass, I would have been perfectly satisfied. There are so many stories Edmund survived that by many rights he shouldn't have...again, credit to DAM here. Maybe he had his own version of the Bradley Cole stans. Good for them. I always thought Mark Dobies (RIP) and Kim had some decent chemistry, even if the relationship was one of many discarded for "always." This for me was Beth's absolute dumbest story, which is saying a hell of a lot. I wonder how Beth Chamberlin felt about it. She always had chemistry with DAM, but chemistry was not enough for her to wander around that cardboard castle for months enabling and being such a smug princess.

    • Not much happened today, but there were a lot of good scenes. It was nice seeing people have someone to talk to about everything that’s been going on, especially Chad and EJ. I liked that Chad was there for him after what happened with Johnny yesterday. EJ convincing Chad to vote for him at the board meeting could lead to something interesting happening as well.  I also enjoyed seeing Kayla, Julie and Maggie all going head to head with Xander. The writing seems to have improved for all three of them.  NuRachel did a good job too. Just the way she delivers her lines sounds less evil than the other one did lol I still think that there’s something more to what she told Brady and Kristen. And I’m glad that Brady ripped EJ too. It was very well deserved, and I hope it was the first time of many. Belle was a little stupid in that scene though.  Btw, I didn’t expect the fate of the hospital to be all up to Brady lol  And, we got an update about Bo. It would be nice to see it though. I’m enjoying all these storylines, but too much of it seems to be happening offscreen. 
    • It's those Shayne genes, as Reva is also healed from blindness about 5 years later.
