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’ve been enjoying the pace the show has taken recently. Things don’t languish as long as they have and if they are drawing something out, like Gio’s adoption, it’s hasn’t been as excruciating. Also, my nosey nature would appreciate less interaction with posters I have on ignore so I don’t have to click on “options”.

    • Okay...I'm just going to call it. Ambyr Michelle is the breakout star of this show with the young set hands down! There is no character like Eva that pulls my heart strings, and she's playing it perfectly. If Eva and Leslie are on, it's a good episode! If written properly, Eva and Kat's rivalry is one that could go on for YEARS. Of course, it's fun to speculate about who is really whom, but I could see them developing as frenemies after some time. They really need a guy to tussle over to amp it up. Tomas is pretty, but the actor has got to loosen up some in his scenes, I think. He is improving though. It would be good to introduce a new young man in that story for a foursome.  Martin and Smitty finally feel like a real couple to me, too. Hopefully, they locked them into four year contracts.
    • I'll be that guy and say I don't think TMG is a fool. This is a popular contract role on a year-round soap opera for a woman of a certain age (to say nothing of a woman of color). If I'm her I pull a Kimberlin Brown and ride this til the wheels fall off.
    • Tbf it's not unusual for a family when they are dealing with some bad news that changes a life to use song to give out hope.Especially black families. I personally had to deal with that very thing this weekend. Partly off putting, but at the same time, I did get the point and it gave me a bit of hope in the moment.      MM is definitely acting. But Smitty is just so passive. It could turn into quiet strength at some point, but for now...passive IMO. 
    • Am I remembering correctly that the Madison's lived in a Spanish revival-style house? I have a vague recollection of the fireplace looking especially Spanish in style. It is unusual that Montecello had so many architectural styles.  Obviously, that might occur IRL.  But, look at other east coast soaps and there is a definitive style that is throughout (because it was styled by a set decorator) regardless of the income of the occupants.
    • @kalbir MSW was a powerhouse for CBS. Angela Lansbury was a superb actress. In 1985, TV viewers were tiring of the primetime soaps and the like. People wanted storytelling and MSW was great at that and had great guest stars. Storytelling -- an amazing and novel concept. CBS Daytime by 1985 was beating ABC so CBS was on the upswing.
    • I'd say just the opposite - conflict means they will find out and then be at odds. For the limited amount of time people on this show have conflict (if they aren't named Nina or Ric, I guess).
    • Totes mcgoats (aka I agree). But, now the character needs to move forward.  Clyde's exit was 12/11/24.  It is May.  She and Chad have been on one date. I don't think they've slept together. And she was only planning on sticking around for a year.
    • That is one of the best insults I've heard in a long time.  I burst out laughing when Kat called Eva that.  LOL Their scenes, of course, were really good.  Colby and Ambyr have so much chemistry.  The only thing I'd change is Kat saying "you're dead to me."  That's a phrase usually said about someone you care about.  I would've preferred something like "You will never be my sister," or something similar to that.  Nice contrast at the end with both mothers/daughters:  Kat comforting/consoling her mother, and Eva being locked out by her mother.  Yeah, I wasn't a big of fan of the singing either, especially after your daughter's life has been destroyed.  What?  LOL And I also agree with those that thought Dana/Leslie's scenes with the Dupree's didn't feel right since Eva is not a Dupree....unless she is.  But as of right now, she's not. 
    • Trisha Mann-Grant, Ambyr Michelle, Sean Freeman are destined for bigger and better things. They need to move on as soon as their initial contracts are done.
