SOAP SLEAZE JOINS PASSIONS

Daytime Emmy nominee Crystal Chappell (Olivia, Guiding Light) has prime soap dish on her husband, Michael Sabatino. "He's going to do some time on Passions," Chappell tattles to TVGuide.com. "I think it's only 10 episodes [and he'll play] a sleazy guy. Yeah, that's usually his thing."

Indeed, Sabatino — who has been pursuing a second career as a building contractor — has played many soap nasties. My two faves: Rapist Lawrence Alamain from Days of our Lives and Knots Landing's devilish Chip Roberts, who was impaled on a pitchfork. Ouch! Most recently, Sabatino recurred as crooked lawyer Vince Russo on his wife's show, GL.

A Passions rep confirms that Sabatino has been cast in a short-term role but kept mum on specific details. Stay tuned....

OMG that is so cool!!

I wonder if he will be one of the new characters included in the 16 people in Italy. He may be involved in the Fancy/Noah/Maya plot with that women who is threatening Fancy and Maya. Perhaps he is the one who killed that women's partner and took the mysterious package, although I thought that was Alfieri's character. Maybe they wil extend his run too-I hope so because I love him!!

Doesn't look like it...

From TVGuide.com:

He's playing J.T. Cornell, the tabloid reporter who got Ethan's paternity scoop from those beeyotches Gwen and Rebecca years ago. Look for Theresa to have an informative meeting with J.T. in Rome on May 18. (TVGuide's words, not mine :lol: )

JER, it says he got the scoop from you know who...not that he revealed it. Mort, bless her fish-fileting heart, could have gotten the information in some other way. Though, I must say, Mort revealing it int he first place...odd. :blink:

Keith, I believe you're confusing Mort with DORT, Kay's buddy at the Crane Cannery, portrayed by the Divine Louise Sorel (ex-Vivian Alamain, "Days of Our Lives.")

Mort was played by another soap vet, Martin Grey (ex-Jim, "Santa Barbara," ex-Lennie "Grace Under Fire"). He revealed Ethan's true paternity at Ethan and Theresa's engagement party in the Crane Mansion in Late January 2001.

    • It has come up in this thread before that early on it was specified that Another World was set in Bay City, Michigan, but somewhere along the line the references shifted to Illinois-ish.    I have tried and failed to find any specific clear reference to Michigan, although there have been some circumstantial details that suggest Bay City is not in Illinois. i notice that the AW Bible begins by describing the location as simply "not far from Oakdale", but things do change (Pat was originally called Cynthia) and we can't take that as pure canon.    
    • At this point (and I've changed my tune several times), I'd fully rest the Cassadine family at this point.

    • The loooong pan around the room that ends in actual action with Maria and Edmund vs. just silently surveying the damage is very technically impressive. I don't think I've ever seen more than bits and pieces of this; my viewing was very spotty early on in '93/'94. I mostly remember the aftermath.
    • Disgusting how Gilly was written out. I'm glad I was not watching that travesty. Petronia Paley deserved better as well.   Interesting to me how so many viewers wanted Annie to succeed--the same way they were so invested in Marian/Brett.

      Oh how I wish Angela Lansbury would have called out Les Moonves and put him on blast.  
    • The first time I cried from a soap, Zane's death. I cried for 3 days.
    • Very happy to see GH hit #1 on Hulu! The show's been on fire and deserves the added eyeballs.
    • I really appreciated all the movement in today's episode.  It resonated with me that it felt like the sort of nervous energy that can surround a family after death. I want to point out the EJ scene.  I was riveted by his multi-layered performance. When he told Belle that he went to her because he loved her, and then saw that she was embarrassed by him, and rejected the part of her that was attracted to him.  It started to make even more sense why he would try to protect Johnny (who I still don't think shot him).  EJ feels like a pariah (although TBH, it wouldn't have hurt to bring Marlena some of that tea that everyone had been promising her all morning).  And he doesn't want to pass that along to his son by exposing him as the shooter.  It is interesting that we see none of those same concern between Kristen and lil'Rachel. 
    • -- What a stupid party. Devon and Abby leave while Victor goes upstairs to the GCAC bar and talks with Kyle. Then we see Jack giving Nikki ANOTHER birthday toast as if the party has just begun. Huh??? -- This party perfectly encapsulates sweeps month for this show: lame, deadly, boring af. -- Once again, Cole gets really sick and no one insists on an ambulance or the ER. They really want him dead, don't they? Instead we hear multiple characters say "Gee, I hope Victoria doesn't catch it." Cole will be dead before Dumas. -- Kyle is really offering to make a contract with Victor so he can continue to see Claire? Jesus Wept. -- And then the shoe ends with Victor praising Nikki for softening his heart over the years -- after we've seen him treat Kyle, Michael, and Jack like sh_it for days.
