GENERAL HOSPITAL's Jack Wagner on golf, soaps — and his surprise daughter
Wagner says that if “Twitter is a way to measure fan reaction, it’s been pretty crazy. The 50th anniversary has been a pretty big deal, to have a show that runs 50 years, first of all. And to have everyone back on the show has had such a massive impact.”
The reunion has been leading up to this week’s Nurses Ball, which was an annual event on the show in its heyday. Wagner’s Frisco Jones will play the event, but he says he’s also had fun exploring “the tracks of the character, who really did abandon his family, which we got into. He wasn’t trying to justify what he did, but he reconnected with his daughter, which was very emotional and deep, which was important. That humanizes the character, as someone who’s not without sensitivity or awareness.”
Mary-Ellis Bunim & Michael Eisner among nine added to Academy of Television Arts & Sciences’ Hall of Fame
Mary-Ellis Bunim’s unique talents in producing daytime soap operas (SEARCH FOR TOMORROW; AS THE WORLD TURNS; SANTA BARBARA) combined with Jonathan Murray’s experience in news and documentaries proved to be the perfect ingredients to develop The Real World. This groundbreaking MTV show quickly became part of the cultural DNA, and it has now endured for almost 20 years, having been renewed through its 28th season. During their 14-year partnership, Bunim and Murray broke the boundaries of conventional television to create more than just a show. Instead they pioneered a whole new genre known as “reality television.”

In a Friday afternoon interview, Mantooth called firefighters the "heart and soul and backbone of homeland security. To me, nothing's more noble in life [than] to be a firefighter-paramedic."

GH's Nancy Lee Grahn (Alexis) answers fan questions "There are few people on this planet that I love more than Connie [Towers]. NuKristina is cute and you would totally believe she is the grown up version of little Kali."
"Brian Frons is extremely generous with his [Dodgers] season tickets, if he can't go he lets one of us go. I have no idea who won, that's not why I go. I was busy admiring the backside of the players, looking around at everyone and eating. Isn't that why everyone goes to a game?"

But under questioning by her attorney, Michael Nolan, she said neither time was on high school property.

NBC Uni eyes Lifetime stake NBC Universal, owner of Oxygen and iVillage, might add another female-driven property to its portfolio. Hearst, Disney ABC Cable and NBC Universal Cable are considering restructuring their partnership in A&E Television Networks to include Lifetime Networks. Hearst and Disney ABC both own 37.5% of A&E Networks, and NBC Uni holds a 25% stake. Lifetime is a 50-50 partnership between Hearst and Disney ABC.
Daniel Goddard Reveals How Y&R Pulled Off Its Shocking Twist "I have to give all the credit to Maria Bell. She did a phenomenal job keeping this quiet. I was so honored to be part of it. When you have a great plot twist the last thing you want to know is let people know early because it dilutes it. I wasn’t really told anything. I try to work page to page because if you get too far in front you start to play something that may or may not happen. If you start to play what you think is going on and then it doesn’t happen, you’ve put yourself in a corner."
Upfronts 2009: Time To Restore the Network Faith The Great American Sales Trip is over, and now the television advertising world congregates this week in New York. And this year's upfront is a jump ball like no other. Marketers-and procurement departments-are scrutinizing TV ad buys like never before, looking for the ultimate in flexibility and, of course, value for money.
Tug-of-War on Upfront Prices Media buyers are still calling for price rollbacks going into television’s annual upfront advertising market this week, but network executives say demands for price cuts have softened since the stock market bounced higher. This week, the broadcast networks—plus cable networks Turner Broadcasting System and ESPN—will be unveiling schedules and wooing advertisers in New York at presentations mostly downsized from the glitzy bashes they staged only a couple of years ago. Last year, advertisers spent $9 billion in the upfront. Analysts forecast that spending at this year’s upfront, where commitments for about 75% of TV ads are sold, could be down as much as 20%.
No more soaps for South Africa's SABC? TV producers are to hold an urgent meeting on Monday to decide what to do regarding the SABC's outstanding payments of millions of rands, which is threatening to derail the production of several TV programs. Some of the country's most popular programmes - including GENERATIONS and ISIDINGO - could disappear from TV screens within weeks, to be replaced by repeat broadcasts, if the SABC can't find the money to pay its outstanding bills for programmes which have already been delivered to the broadcaster.
WHERE ARE THEY NOW: EDGE OF NIGHT's Tony Craig In the 1970s, Craig was at the pinnacle of his career playing Draper Scott on the ABC soap opera THE EDGE OF NIGHT Women fawned over him as he lived a lavish New York City lifestyle.
"That was probably the best time in my life," Craig said. "I was living the dream. "The producer of THE EDGE OF NIGHT pulled me aside and said I needed to work on my accent. I didn't think I had an accent, but Pittsburgh people never do. But we have a terrible accent. I worked with a speech therapist for six months to adopt a Midwestern non-accent-accent."
Craig moved home to Pittsburgh in January 2008, to be near his brother and sister-in-law, nieces and nephews, and his aunts. He signed with a local casting agent and though he's had many call-backs, he hasn't landed any roles. He said he considers himself retired, but he wanted to get out of the house.
When the Pittsburgh Pirates hired him last spring as a part-time employee at the ballpark, it "changed my life," Craig said.

A look at the Lexington ratings impact of the firing and hiring of a Kentucky basketball coach During the afternoon conference announcing the firing of Bill Gillispie as Univ. of Kentucky basketball coach, WKYT, who normally airs GUIDING LIGHT at 3 p.m., and the show typically draws one ratings point and a 6 share, saw its ratings soar to 6 points and a 16 share.

Similar increases were seen for the press conference announcing John Calipari's hiring. THE YOUNG AND THE RESTLESS on CBS typically scored a 3/15. Calipari's hiring scored a 7/26.

WGA Strike One Year Later: WGAW Executive Director David Young Speaks "Our current contract was the result of a months-long effort to negotiate in good faith with the companies, who unfortunately forced us into a 100-day strike. The struggle was marked by a high degree of unity among writers — television and screen, broadcast and cable, blockbusters and indie film. Thousands of you marched, picketed and blogged, and won the solidarity and support of union members, fans and the general public, in the US and around the world.
We didn’t achieve everything we wanted – we never do – but we achieved our most important objectives, something we hadn’t done for decades. Over the past 20-plus years the companies have tried to use every important development in the industry – be it distribution technology or reuse method – to weaken our strategic and financial position. A difficult strike in 1985 led to a rollback on home video. This has never been corrected and has cost writers about $1.5 billion in lost residual income. We could not get global jurisdiction of scripted programming on basic cable, and to this day we are still fighting with the companies to cover many cable shows. Genres like reality and animation, where the WGA lacks coverage, have grown into a large portion of the worldwide market and are now significant areas of non-Guild production."
GENERATIONS: Morokas are like family now South Africa’s longest-running soap opera, GENERATIONS, turned 15 recently. To celebrate, fans were treated to an hour of interviews with Mfundi Vundla, the mastermind behind the popular series, and some of the stars, and snippets from the first episodes.

2009 Oscar winners list Slumdog Millionair took home eight trophies at last night's Academy Awards.
Red carpet no-shows irk photogs There was much grumbling among photographers over the Academy's new policy of having some stars (Jennifer Aniston, Kristen Stewart, Katherine Heigl and Jessica Alba) enter through an off-camera back entrance.
"Magazines want photos from the red carpet -- the stars have spent hours getting ready and they're prepared to pose," said one. "We sell these photos all year. This is a disaster both for us and for the designers who want their dresses seen at the Oscars."
NAB 2009: Shrinking Broadcast Presence At 2009 Show With a wave of slashed budgets washing across the television industry due to the current economic downturn, many broadcast network and station engineers are expected to skip their annual pilgrimage to the National Association of Broadcasters' annual convention this April.

Heath Ledger's family accepts Oscar on his behalf "First of all, I have to say this is ever so humbling," explained Ledger's dad, Kim Ledger, as he took the podium with the actor's mother, Sally Bell, and his sister, Kate Ledger. "This award tonight would've humbly validated Heath's quiet determination to be truly accepted by you all here, his peers, within an industry he so loved. Thank you."
FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHT parents drive the action Slate's Hanna Rosin writes: "In most American shows about teenagers, the parents are not really relevant. They might leave a ham sandwich on the table or some milk in the fridge, but basically, their role is to let the kids wallow in their own histrionics. But in FNL, the parents drive all the action. When they are absent, they are really absent, as in gone off to war, or deadbeat, turning their kids into old souls who have to endure alone."
Ofcom clears EASTENDERS pedophile plot Communications regulator Ofcom has ruled that EASTENDERS' controversial pedophile plot was handled "appropriately and sensitively" and therefore was not in breach of the broadcasting code.
Katherine Kelly set for big things on CORONATION STREET CORRIE bosses have hailed Katherine Kelly as their new "golden girl" - and signed her up until 2011 at least. They handed her the bumper new deal to ensure she stays on as man-mad waitress Becky Grainger.
A source said: "Quite simply, Kathy is the golden girl around the place. The bosses drool over her character because the response from the viewers has been absolutely amazing."
INTERVIEW: GENERATIONS' (Africa) Connie Ferguson On GENERATIONS' ability to match the life-span of, say, THE BOLD AND THE BEAUTIFUL, which has been running for more than 20 years, Ferguson muses: "Okay, that's the next five years. Why not? We have already made history as the first African soap to enjoy such longevity that I can definitely see many more generations of GENERATIONS."
The Real Deal about Motherhood: A True Story of one Woman's Struggle to Keep From Losing Herself, her Career, and her Sanity "Where Did I Go: The Personal Chronicle of a SAHM (Stay at Home Mom), as She Shares her Fulfilling, Frustrating and Often Comical Journey from Womanhood to Motherhood," by B. Erin Wylde, is a warmhearted and funny memoir that captures the experiences of a woman who leaves her profitable career to care for her two year old child suffering from GERD (Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease), and her four year old son. Wylde, in her down to earth, chatting with a pal style, has written about what it’s really like when a woman has to turn away from her career to care for her family, even if it is only for a few years.
"Where Did I Go?" is not a how- to book, or a compilation of tips and tricks on arts and crafts or disciplinary techniques, as are many books on motherhood, but is more of a myth buster about SAHMs and motherhood in general; however, Wylde, having always been a career woman, sets the tone at the beginning of the book by formally apologizing to all SAHMs. The introduction, aptly titled, Not Too Big to Admit When I'm Wrong, debunks the myth of the Bon Bon eating, soap opera watching, women that so many still buy into.
Long-serving FAIR CITY stars axed as actors fear more cuts may follow FAIR CITY stars Bryan Murray and Una Crawford O'Brien have been axed from the soap as bosses revamp the Carrigstown cast. The two actors, who play Bob Charles and Renee Phelan, are being written out of the popular RTE show.

Deep Soap: Location, Location, Location Sara A. Bibel blogs: "2008 may go down as the year that soaps left the studio. During the golden era of soap operas, shows rarely left the confines of their soundstage. When the shows aired live, it was impossible to go on location. There were too many variables and it would have been impossible to switch from location to taped segments. Once soaps switched to pre-taping in the 1970s, some began experimenting with location shoots. By the 1980s, sending the show to an exotic location had become a ratings sweep tradition. Supercouples married in lavish outdoor ceremonies. Adventure storylines culminated with cinematic action scenes. Shows even traveled to other countries. As ratings and budgets declined, location shoots largely disappeared. CBS has decided to bring them back, in an attempt to re-engineer the genre."

SORDID LIVES not renewed for second season....yet Per Del Shores latest blog, the renewal rumor is false. "As much as I appreciate all the congratulatory emails and myspace messages regarding LOGO picking up the show for Season 2, this is an internet rumor."
From Donaldsonville to Hollywood It’s quite a journey from Donaldsonville to Hollywood, but Stacy Caballero has made it with a few significant stops in between.
She’s an up-and-coming costume designer who worked on two recently released movies, the Will Smith superhero movie Hancock and the action racing movie Speed Racer, as well as the next, Star Trek, scheduled for release in May 2009. She was the assistant costume designer on all three films.
After an internship in Los Angeles, Caballero moved there. Even though she had very few "connections," she started sending out resumes and working in daytime television. She worked on the wardrobe team for THE BOLD AND THE BEAUTIFUL and SUNSET BEACH and was finally offered a full-time position for THE YOUNG AND THE RESTLESS. She stayed two years.
What attracted Y&R's Michael Damian to his wife? "Her smile, and her beauty and energy," he tells OK Magazine. "She was shy when I first met her. She’s staring at me right now. She’s leaving the room now because I kicked her out. Actually, I met her at a telethon in Utah for the Children’s Miracle Network. She was there with her dad, which I didn’t know was her dad at the time, James Best, who is Rosco from THE DUKES OF HAZZARD. I thought it was her boyfriend! Later, I found out from my brother that it was her dad. Yeah, I was like ‘God, she’s so pretty and sweet’ and I got this really good feeling when I met her. I was actually in shock when she said she was a SOLID GOLD dancer because I thought she’d be like ‘hey I’m really cool, I’m on TV all the time,’ but she was very shy and soft-spoken."
Give the man a break already The pitfall of playing a menacing soap character is that viewers, who become so immersed in the twisted storyline, find it difficult to distance the actor from their fictional persona.
While Robert Whitehead (Barker Haines, ISIDINGO), Joseph Mascolo (Stefano DiMera, DAYS OF OUR LIVES) and Seputla Sebodogi (Kenneth Mashaba, GENERATIONS) are famed villains, it is harder for soap addicts to accept it when the relatively good guys succumb to morally corrupt ways à la Jack Devnarain's ISIDINGO character, Rajesh Kumar, and, more recently, Marlon Roelfze's EGOLI character, Shaun, turning into a wife-beater.
HOLLYOAKS star praises lack of stereotypes OLLYOAKS newcomer Lena Kaur has praised producers for not stereotyping Asians on the program. The actress, who plays Leila Roy, revealed that she has been impressed with her character's storylines since she joined the show alongside Stephen Uppal, better known as her on-screen brother Ravi, earlier this year.
Kaur told Take 5 magazine: "The storylines for me and Stephen aren't being dictated by the colour of our skin. We're both British Asians in real life as well as in the show. We are both totally westernised. We've been brought up in Britain, so the storylines will reflect people like Stephen and me."
Fans on soap box don't scare 'Sam' The star of new web soap THE SECRET LIFE OF SAM KING has said he isn't daunted by the prospect of viewers posting critical comments about him online.
Greg Foreman plays record company runner Sam in the show, which allows fans to send messages to characters and shape plotlines on the social networking site Bebo.
Greg, who has previously appeared on CASUALTY said: "Because it's on the internet, people can interact with the characters on a day-to-day basis. They can watch an episode and then go on Sam's profile and say 'I can't believe you've done this' or 'You're lucky to be there'. Even if it's the most negative criticism people are giving you, at least they're watching it and they take an interest in it."

Dytime Confidential: AS THE WORLD TURNS: Further Evidence of an Anti Luke and Noah Kiss Conspiracy.
Out in Hollywood: Sorry, at no time during this fantasy do these two crazy kids (ATWT's Noah and Luke) kiss. Why would they? Just because it's Valentine's Day? Just because they love each other and are attracted to each other? It's become a distraction, this whole non-kissing thing. And insulting to the gay storyline and the fans of the show.
