As many may know, Michael B Jordan is starring in Creed. I'll just leave this gif here and let the thirst begin

The legendary Alexis Colby Joan Collins was on Wendy Tuesday. LMAO at the shady look on her face when Wendy asked if she auditioned for the Royals

Can't she afford a more natural looking wig? Seeing her's next to Wendy's is like night and day. Other than that she looks great. What a babe.

I'm sure she'd worn better wigs than that lately...

 

It won't be anywhere in the US, presumably, but she's going to appear in a "Text Santa" (ITV telethon) sketch based on the sitcom Benidorm (some sort of resort for older people in Spain).

Goodbye to all the haters who said Carrie Genzel's 6 month ass was the best Skye. #RobinForever

Joking aside, I said she was my favorite, not the best. It's subjective. I think they both did fine work on AMC. I don't really count anything after AMC as Skye, to be honest (Robin did OK at GH but the writing was awful throughout).

Robin Christopher is a breathy shitty actress who apparently think she's the lead in some 40s noir film all the time??? I really do not like her at all and Skye is just a monster and not a fun one so all the calls to "Bring her back!" never made any sense to me. As well as the people saying she should have been Victoria on Y&R.

 

You know what she needs? Some light therapy, looking like she has jaundice all the time.

Who's idea was it to make Skye, Rae's daughter, then Alan's daughter  have her go to OLTL AND GH? Was it Jill Farren Phelps?

Phelps and whoever was in charge of ABC Daytime then - Pat Fili-Krushel?

 

I like to pretend that never happened. If not for Robin's rapport with Stuart Damon and John Ingle it would have been even more disgusting.

Virginia Madsen plays Jennifer Lawrence's soap-opera-obsessed mother in David O. Russell's latest film,

Joy. But rather than include clips from a pre-existing daytime soap, Russell shot original scenes with soap veterans Susan Lucci (Erica Kane on All My Children), Maurice Bernard (Sonny Corinthos on General Hospital), Laura Wright (Carly Corinthos on General Hospital), and Donna Mills (Abby Ewing on Knots Landing).

After working with these actors, Russell praised them in this week's 

THR directors roundtable

, calling them "professional athletes."

I'd go, "Donna Mills! Susan Lucci! Let's have a catfight." They don't go, "Oh wait, what's my motivation?" They just go, bang! I was blown away by the power of these women actors.

Fellow roundtable participant Quentin Tarantino said, "That might be one of the most interesting things said at the table. The power of soap opera actors. That actually is a nugget, and I buy it 100 percent."

And he's not wrong. Soap-opera actors shoot multiple scripts in one day, and with the decrease in budgets since the heyday of the genre (the '80s and '90s), there's not often time for reshoots. You must know your lines, be on your mark, and be ready to shoot. There's no time for Method acting or arguing with a director. It's the sort of professional athleticism that Alfred Hitchcock greatly admired in actors. In 1962, during a series of interviewswith François Truffaut, Hitchcock famously referred to actors as cattle. For example, during the shooting of I Confess, Hitchcock didn't get along with Montgomery Clift. According to Patricia Bosworth's Montgomery Clift: A Biography, Hitchock would tell Clift exactly how he wanted him to behave in scenes. Clift balked at the demands and would act how he wanted in other takes, but Hitchcock would ultimately use the takes where Clift followed his instructions. It shouldn't come as surprise that a number of the actors Hitchock worked with — including Farley Granger, John Forsythe, and Macdonald Carey — went on to act in soaps.

Russell, who has been known to battle with his own actors on set, is probably just embracing his inner Hitchcock. He even has Lawrence as his icy blonde. And really, is it any surprise that a director who loves a good screaming match and casting Lawrence older than she actually is in every film would love a good Erica Kane soap-opera catfight?

she was the better Skye on AMC. Robin Christopher won me over on OLTL and GH, but CG's run as Skye on AMC was better than Robin's

Didn't Robin Christopher return to AMC or was I mistaken? Too bad she didn't reappear toward the end of its ABC run

No. She made a guest appearance after Stuart's funeral but she never actually rejoined the show
