This is an admittedly weak pull by me, but I'm excited: The successful new Kickstarter for Season 13 of Mystery Science Theater 3000 (now funded for 9 episodes, almost up to 12) has begun announcing bad movie titles for its upcoming season. One of the unfortunate films featured will be 1993's Robot Wars, featuring Lisa Rinna (Billie, DAYS/Taylor, MP) and Barbara Crampton (Leanna, Y&R/Mindy, GL). Stay tuned!

From my Soap Opera Cast Lists page

SPOTLIGHT ON.... ..Michelle Forbes
Michelle Forbes kept us riveted as Dr. Sonni Carrera Lewis and her alter Solita on GUIDING LIGHT back in the late 1980s and has portrayed a multitude of characters over the years. Her latest television role in Big Sky is just another example of excellent casting.
Forbes' role of Margaret Kleinsasser has transformed from a cowering, pill popping mess to formidable lioness. One of her "pride" was murdered by his brother, her third son a meth dealing murderer, while her daughter weaned her off of the pills.
 
Margaret confronted her abusive husband, letting him know that the last face he'll ever see will be hers. Hugging her murderous son JW, practically to the point of smothering him at the graveside she whispered "I know you did it".
 
Once again we have the opportunity to watch Michelle Forbes bring an easily one dimensional character to life, and that makes us the lucky ones. Kudos to her!
 
BIG SKY stars Katheryn Winick as Jenny Hayes and Kylie Bunbury as Cassie Dewell. Forbes' leading man is Ted Levine (MONK, SILENCE OF THE LAMBS) as Horst Kleinsasser. It can be seen Tuesdays at Ten P.M. Eastern Standard Time. Two episodes remain in the season, but it has been renewed for Season Two.
 
 
Sebastian Roche (Jerry Jacks, GH) is appearing as Sheriff Wagy  on Big Sky and as Brill on Debris.

Sorry if this has already been posted, but it's an interview with Kane Manera (the notoriously awful Grady on GL, so awful that he was turfed off a cliff by Philip and no one gave a damn), who is now a real estate agent. In another example of lazy journalism, it seems whoever did this just went to Kane's IMDB page and assumed he was on GL for three years, rather than noticing the 2006 credit was for a shorter-term role.

Hahaha..having a core character murder someone and everyone was like...okay, lets move on. I don't think he was ever mentioned again. I am amazed that the person pictured in the story is the same person who disgusted the GL audience so much..he looks much better, cleaned up!

Phil Morris was on the season finale of A Black Lady Sketch Show alongside Kik Wayans, Tyler James Williams and others. I saw the photo stills but as I post this, I still have yet to see this. Looking forward to it.

Sad news:

 

 

Lisa Banes played the first Eve McBain, John and Michael's mother, on OLTL in 2004. I used to refer to her arch character who sang spooky torch songs in dark clubs while the show attempted to poorly chemistry test her with Bo Buchanan as "Scary Death Lady," but Banes is in fact a very talented star of the NY stage as well as countless films (like Gone Girl) and television shows. This story is awful.

        I'm sorry but I'm a glutton for punishment. Would love to see this woman OWNING the canvas. Telling off Leslie who tells her she's the head b!tch.
    • And in case anyone is confused; Rusty was hired by HB to work undercover and infiltrate some gang sabotaging Lewis. 
    • Emmerdale shares most nominations for the British Soap Awards with EastEnders, 13 each.

    • The Dallas finale was the highest-rated episode since October 9, 1987 (Gone with the Wind). Prior to the finale, the last Dallas episode to finish ahead of a new episode of Murder, She Wrote was October 23, 1987 (Tough Love). Prior to the finale, the last Dallas episode to finish ahead of a new episode of The Cosby Show was February 22, 1985 (Shattered Dreams).
    • 40 years ago this month, the best and most pivotal television season of the 1980s came to an end. Here’s how the rookie breakout and the four soaps wrapped up the season. The Cosby Show – Cliff’s Birthday (season 1 finale, May 9): Clair and the children surprise Cliff by planning a birthday celebration around a Lena Horne concert. Dallas – Deliverance (May 10): Bobby seeks evidence to free Jenna. The Ewings go confidently to court. Mitch asks Lucy to move in. J.R. wants Sue Ellen hospitalized. Dynasty - The Heiress (May 8): Krystle learns Daniel is dead. King Galen courts Alexis. Amanda sees Michael with Elena. Sammy Jo learns Krystle will handle her money and is furious about the decision. Knots Landing – One Day in a Row (May 9): Ben aids in Karen's search for Val's babies. Mack replies to the governor's offer. Ruth uses Abby to break up Laura and Greg. Falcon Crest – Cold Comfort (May 10): Fugitive Lance desperately searches for Lorraine, who lies comatose in a San Francisco hospital. Robin returns with startling news.   Dallas – Swan Song (season 8 finale, May 17): Jenna's release from jail depresses Pam. Sue Ellen thinks she saw Dusty. Donna tells Ray about her pregnancy. Cliff consults an attorney about an annulment. Lucy and Mitch remarry. Sudden tragedy strikes Bobby. Dynasty – Royal Wedding (season 5 finale, May 15): Sammy Jo makes her roommate look like Krystle. Elena reassures Amanda about her upcoming marriage. Terrorists come for the royal wedding of Prince Michael and Amanda. Falcon Crest – Confessions (May 17): Melissa confesses to framing Lance. Pamela gives Maggie proof that Richard bribed Judge Holder. Connie reveals her love for Chase. Knots Landing – Vulnerable (May 16): Ruth wants Abby to break up Greg and Laura. Karen makes a breakthrough in her hunt for Val's babies. Joshua hampers Val's recovery. Knots Landing – The Long and Winding Road (season 6 finale, May 23): Abby fears being linked to the disappearance of Val's babies. Laura leaves Greg. The Fishers are determined to keep Val's babies. Falcon Crest – The Avenging Angel (season 4 finale, May 24): Lorraine dies. Angela throws a victory party. Cassandra's mother arrives. An explosion rips through Richard's house. 1984/85 was the season the primetime soaps pulled out all the stops to out-do each other and everything culminated in the spring. May 1985 was the zenith of primetime soaps as a genre.

    • Charles Grant first appeared as Evan in September 1988. I was surprised to come across this item from December 1985, almost 3 years earlier: "Lots of action behind the scenes at Another World . . . I have bad news for fans of Christopher Holder (Peter Love). He will be leaving the show in the new year. I have heard that the producers are recasting the part and are also seeing actors for new roles. One of the main characters this spring will be Marlee [sic] and Victoria's father. The producers have been talking to Charles Flohe (John "Preacher" Emerson, Edge Of Night) about another new character to be featured. I will fill you in on the results as soon as I know." It seems obviously too early for anyone to have been planning to introduce Evan Frame. Based on the context he's not being considered as a recast of Peter. Maybe they were considering him for the character that turned out to be Neal, who started around the same time as Marcus Smythe as Peter?

    • That was my point really. These anniversary party scenes are the first ones, and now they won't be able to use them (meaning these actual scenes, as aired, with OG Ted). They can recreate them but I doubt they will spring for all the extras to come back and film and recreate everything, so it will be more like tight closed in shots of Ted with one or two other actors, or snippets of Leslie's original speech where Ted wasn't visible. It would be hard to recapture the original energy of the scenes are as they were filmed in their full context. I just think that's too bad, but maybe they will prove me wrong. I never really saw what was so off in his portrayal to warrant a recast, anyway, so that colors my perception as well.
    • Yeah, and quite honestly, are there really that many scenes that are flashback-worthy at this point in the run?
