I wonder if they’ll be appearances on CBS Mornings as well next week. I know both Tunie and Duplaix will be hitting the NYC promotional circuit heavy next week, leading up to the Paley Center event on Thursday. 

Would be nice to have one of them guest on The Daily Show as well next week, but CBS definitely deserves kudos for all they’ve done to promote the show. 

Tamara Tunie and Daphnee Duplaix will be on CBS Mornings on Thursday, February 20. Tamara will be on Colbert on Wednesday, February 19, while Clifton Davis and Karla Mosley make a "special appearance" on After Midnight that same night (technically Thursday, February 20).

Holy 🤯

Is this the first time daytime soap has been promoted on a late night show?

Now this... is AMAZING. This is what I was waiting for.

Whattttt???? 😃😃

Note: It's unknown at this time if Lindstrom will continue portraying Kevin Collins on General Hospital, ala Wally Kurth who appears on both GH (as Ned) and Days of our Lives (as Justin), the latter of which as a contract player.

I had wondered about Jon Lindstrom, since he and Michele Val Jean have been tweeting compliments and support to one another for the past year.

I had my suspicions. When we saw them as surprise guests during our press junket, I was floored.

Now, when I said it would break the soap internet (still quite early), I didn't mean literally, but I know GH fans will be pissed if this means the end of his appearing as Kevin (albeit he barely appears as is). It only shows that GH wasn't using him because clearly he's willing to work.

Contract or recurring roles? 

Looks like Cady’s been hinting at it on her IG recently as well:

She also randomly posted a flashback to her Emmy win for ATWT (her first stint there being the best acting work of her whole daytime career, IMO):

Cady McClain is a surprise to me.   I find this all surprising because, like Kimberly McCullough, Cady seemed to have transitioned into directing.  Cady acted in a one-woman show at a summer theatre a couple of years ago, but generally didn't do much acting.

She's been the artistic director of a theatre in New York for the past three years
https://www.axialtheatre.org/whoweare
That may have been part of the reason why she did only infrequent short-term stints as substitute Jennifer Horton on DAYS.

Cady lists her various projects here:
https://www.linkedin.com/in/cady-mcclain-71439325 

I wonder if she'll continue at the Axial Theatre while working part-time at BTG?

The SOD article quotes Cady in a way that makes it sound like a significant role at BTG. (unless it's a short-term significant role?) I don't know.  This sounds rather meaty:
“I’m just so thrilled to be a part of this incredible cast and this amazing show,” McClain enthused. “I think it is so exciting. It’s such a beautiful production [with] such amazing actors, and I have the great pleasure of getting to work a great deal with Karla [Mosley], and we have so much fun— probably too much fun!” Pamela will be in the thick of storyline with Mosley’s character, Dani. “We play very, very, very, very, very dear old friends, and we get up to a bit of trouble,” McClain teased.


Oh wow,  Cady's IG shows she recently dyed her hair red!!!!!  Must be for the BTG role?

Last time I went red with bangs (in 2010) I felt like a new person! As I do now! I love becoming new people, new parts of myself. It’s like unwrapping a present…

Anything that breaks up Kevin and Laura's boring marriage works for me at present! I do love Kevin but I have never liked those two characters together.

I would hope Jon is doing the Wally Kurth special but I'm sure we'll find out soon enough. Always happy for Cady, less happy for her latest disastrous hair choice.

A beautiful morning in a welcoming city. Happy Valentine’s Day to all who celebrate! Love is love!! 💗 😆❤️

^  is that Atlanta? New York?  somewhere else?  

I thought the initial contract cast seemed small. Maybe it still is, but it seems like there might be some additions that weren't revealed. 

Did we ever find out what Real Anderws secret project was? I am wondering if he might pop up here too if his new project hasn't been announced.

Headed back to NYC today after a beautiful week of work (can’t share about it yet, but soon!). It is a strange and remarkable time. My soul is the driver but damn if shes not one wild child! Grateful for the work and for friends who keep texting and for students who keep learning, keep reaching, keep trying… and to keep being a student myself! It never ends.
