Members SFK Posted November 4, 2014 Author Members Share Posted November 4, 2014 I'd love to read his autobiography, or at least an in-depth WLS interview. And like so many EPs, actors seemed to have adored him or despised him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Titus Andronicus Posted November 22, 2014 Members Share Posted November 22, 2014 I have no doubt this has been posted here at some time, but I'm just now discovering Sex and Death in the Afternoon: An Oral History of the American Soap Opera. It skips over a ton and just kinda ends, but a few comments are priceless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DramatistDreamer Posted November 29, 2014 Members Share Posted November 29, 2014 Who?? http://www.inquisitr.com/1642213/corey-sligh-young-and-the-restless-actor-beaten-on-thanksgiving-while-delivering-dinner-to-friend/ Has anyone heard of this guy? Because I sure haven't. Still, it is truly frightening how irrational people can become, the actions of the perpetrator(s) were uncalled for...in fact, they were criminal. Hopefully they find the people who did this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members slick jones Posted November 30, 2014 Members Share Posted November 30, 2014 I read on some site in 2012 that actor Corey Sligh would be appearing on Y&R, but he must have been an U5 or background person, because I never found a character for him.

Members slick jones Posted November 30, 2014 Members Share Posted November 30, 2014 According to CBS news reports, Sligh was a bartender and a waiter on Y&R. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DramatistDreamer Posted December 8, 2014 Members Share Posted December 8, 2014 I was watching an episode of Y&R from 2000 or 2001, I think and there was a character by the name of Alex, a lawyer, I think she might have worked as counsel at Newman. Supposedly she got under Neil Winter's skin, at first but Malcolm seemed to be very attracted to her. I admit I wasn't watching very closely at that time so I don't know what happened to this character. Does anyone remember her? If so, was she played by Cassandra Creech? She really looks like Cassandra Creech to me. I tried to look it up but got distracted by this picture: http://www.gettyimages.com/detail/news-photo/cassandra-creech-of-as-the-world-turns-and-kristoff-st-news-photo/2279903 Who in the world is Kristoff St. Johnson? He sure looks like Peter Parros to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members slick jones Posted December 8, 2014 Members Share Posted December 8, 2014 Alex was Alex Perez[Alexia Robinson...ex Meg Lawson Davis, GH]...I think she left when Malcolm was lost in Africa, but I wasn't watching that much around that time either.

Members DramatistDreamer Posted December 8, 2014 Members Share Posted December 8, 2014 wow, thanks slick. Boy, there is a pretty good resemblance, they could've played sisters or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members slick jones Posted December 8, 2014 Members Share Posted December 8, 2014 Two fiery actresses that definitely would have been great as sisters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members robbwolff Posted December 8, 2014 Members Share Posted December 8, 2014 That is Parros in the photo with Creech. They were both on As the World Turns at that time. Clearly, Getty Images was trying to (mistakenly) attribute the actor as Kristoff St. John. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DramatistDreamer Posted December 9, 2014 Members Share Posted December 9, 2014 Yeah, I know it's Parros being facetious but thanks. I just thought it was hilarious since Parros and St. John look nothing alike but the Johnson struck me as especially funny for some reason. Now had they mixed up Alexia Robinson and Cassandra Creech that would've been understandable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted February 6, 2015 Members Share Posted February 6, 2015 I thought people might enjoy this writeup on the extended footage filmed for the mega-flop Airport 79: The Concorde. Soap actors who were involved in this turkey and the extension of said turkey include Andrea Marcovicci (looking ridiculously old in the attempts to make her seem like a young Russian gymnast!), Kathleen Maguire, Jose Ferrer, Jessica Walter, George Kennedy. There's one more whose name isn't mentioned in the descriptions, but you can see them in a few photos. I'll let you see if you can spot the person. http://originalvidjunkie.blogspot.com/2013/06/on-celluloid-chopping-block.html?zx=83804f1f259627c1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members SFK Posted February 11, 2015 Author Members Share Posted February 11, 2015 From Entertainment Weekly's website: The Bold and the Beautiful star Linsey Godfrey, who plays Caroline, was struck and pinned down by a car on Monday, February 2. After being rescued by bystanders, she was rushed into surgery to repair her broken legs. Though the actress is expected to make a full recovery, she did tweet yesterday that she was facing a “long road.” This, of course, begs the question of whether or not B&B will write her injury into the storyline, or whether they will opt for a temporary recast until Godfrey is back on her feet. Unlike movies, which can shut down production or reshuffle their schedule when an actor gets hurt—or primetime, which shoots many fewer episodes a year—daytime doesn’t stop for any man or woman. Sometimes, there is no choice but to go with a recast, no matter how jarring that might prove to the audience, in order to keep the story going. Check out some of our favorite fill-ins below, and see how they worked out! http://community.ew.com/2015/02/10/soap-operas-temporary-recast/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
