NEWS: ABC's Motion Denied in Prospect Park Lawsuit; Civil Rights Drama Being Developed For AMC; Eileen Fulton; Taylor Miller, Kevin Alejandro, Barry Watson

ABC Fails To Trim Prospect Park Soap Suit
Deadline.com reports that a judge has denied ABC's motion to strike a component of Prospect Park's amended complaint against the network (in which PP requested an extension for its license to AMC and OLTL and to be excused from its payment for the license). "I'm going to let them leave it in," Judge Robert Hess said, per Deadline. ABC has 20 days to respond to the amended complaint.

TRUE BLOOD Alum Developing Civil Rights Drama For AMC
BOMBINGHAM takes place in the city that was the epicenter of the modern civil rights movement. The storytelling will shift time frames between past and present to tell the story of a murder that is discovered 50 years later and threatens to upend the fragile peace in the city between whites and African-Americans. The title refers to the city’s nickname in the black community, which suffered a slew of racially motivated bombings and other violence from the late 1940s through the 1960s.

Kevin Alejandro To Co-Star In CLEMENTINE
The ABC drama centers on troubled 28-year-old psychic Clementine Ross (Sarah Snook) who sees her life begin to change in unexpected ways when she decides to stop running from her past. Alejandro will play Charlie Madsen, Clementine’s ex-boyfriend and father to her young daughter, Lucy, a former bad-boy who transformed into a responsible man when he realized he was going to have to raise Lucy on his own due to Clementine’s personal struggles.

STORY:
Cliff was working at Pine Valley Hospital in 1979 when he met and fell in love with Nina.  Nina's father, Palmer (the late James Mitchell), vehemently disapproved and did everything he could to keep them apart.   Over the next decade the couple would marry four different times with the first being one of the most lavish weddings in the show's history.  Some of the obstacles faced by Cliff and Nina over the years (to name just a few) were Nina almost going blind, the pregnancy of nurse Sybil Thorne (Linda Gibboney), Sybil's murder, Nina's affair with Steve Jacobi (Dack Rambo), Nina's relationship with Matt Connolly (Michael Tylo) when Cliff was thought to be dead, Cliff's short-lived engagement to Angie and...  Oh, we said just a few.  You get the picture.

FLASHBACK: Not So Fragile Taylor Miller (But Handle With Care Anyway) 1981

As a tribute to ALL MY CHILDREN's final weeks on ABC, we continue our series of daily Flashbacks today with a look at Taylor Miller (Nina Cortlandt ).

The March 1981 issue of Daytimers magazine featured two-page spread on Miller titled "NOT SO FRAGILE (but handle with care anyway!)". At the height of AMC's popularity Miller would get chased down the streets of New York by fans.

"It's a frightening feeling," Miller said at the time.

We hope you enjoy and come back daily for a new AMC classic article.

Catching Up With Taylor Miller, Part Three

Longtime soap fans will never forget Taylor Miller's run on ALL MY CHILDREN as Nina Cortlandt Warner. Her pairing with Peter Bergman's Cliff is one of the most memorable in daytime history. Miller created the role of Nina in 1979 and played the role off and on until 1989. She returned in the mid-1990s a couple of times and will be returning again for soap's 40th anniversary in January. Miller also played Sally Frame on ANOTHER WORLD for a year during a break from AMC. For the past 20 years, Miller has been raising her two children in Chicago and occasionally performing in plays or acting in films. The role she plays in her latest film, Hannah Free, is a huge departure from Nina and she is winning rave reviews. Miller recently spoke with We Love Soaps about her days as a soap star, her other roles, life as a mom, and seeing both her children off to college.

In Part One of our interview, Miller shared stories about landing the role of Nina and handling instant fame. In Part Two, the actress discussed leaving ALL MY CHILDREN the first time, her stint on ANOTHER WORLD, and why she left AMC again in the late 1980s.

In the third and final part of the interview, Miller describes her experience working on her new film, Hannah Free, and the response she received when she asked to return to ALL MY CHILDREN.

We Love Soaps: Do you have any interest in writing?
Taylor Miller: No. Now that both of my children are in college I do have an interest in acting. I just auditioned for Virginia Woolf and I want to play that role. I think one of the things is that I'm kind of a "one at a time" person. I've done a couple of plays in Chicago and a couple of movies, but I wanted to come home and make dinner for my family. So trying to balance that and do the same amount on both was hard for me.

We Love Soaps: You were everywhere in the early '80s.
Taylor Miller: We were doing "Soaps Alive!" and we traveled all over the place. I lived and breathed [work]. I worked 12 hours a day. It became my identity and I didn't have one yet so... [Laughs] I didn't have a basis for who I was. That's why I feel sorry for Britney Spears or Michael Jackson. You have to have some special character when you're young to be famous.

We Love Soaps: You grew up in New Orleans and went to Tulane. Did you always want to be an actress?
Taylor Miller: Yes. But I wasn’t encouraged to be that. The question was always how are you make a living doing that. I was always in plays growing up and I wanted to major in theater but I ended up majoring in history. The idea was that I would be a lawyer, which I thought was very theatrical.
