It's a good thing this wildly-popular two-soaper just landed a new gig, because he or she is NEVER going back to the first soap they starred on, says insiders.

Is this Cady mcClain. So Dixie will NEVER come back. Well now I'm happy that i am officially done with AMC show.

PLEASE TELL ME IF I'm RIGHT just so I can give up my hope.

"To end this on a good note, it looks like at least one troubled soap has been bought some time.

'It can't be confirmed yet, but it looks like the show will indeed be renewed for another year,' says the source.

Whew! That was a close one! Let's pray the rest of daytime is paying attention so that another soap doesn't have to come thisclose to being sent to the Great Network in the Sky!"
______________________________

I *really* hope this is "Guiding Light" (which I believe it is). The show has most definitely improved over the past month, and for the first time in 5 years, I actually look forward to watching it every day.

Cady McClain just re-signed w/ ATWT so she is not coming back to AMC anytime soon. I think it's her,Genie Francis,or Rebecca Budig.Who could blame ANY of them.

This daytime star is absolutely REFUSING to let the soap he or she works on script a reunion for the iconic supercouple they were once a part of– even though fans have been screaming for it for years!

"[The Star] says if the reunion happens they will walk when their contract is up!" sighs a frustrated source close to the show.

If I were the soap in question, I would tell the star not to let the doorknob hit 'em where the Good Lord split 'em!
This yells KZ all over it!!!!

I agree about it being Cady . Why is it such a definite NEVER ?

Her contact is up in June.
And she said she would walk if their was a Jeva runion.

**I guess KZ doesn't want a job after all.**

I hope she leaves, GL can surive with out her, they did once before....

One legendary soap veteran is outraged at recent casting decisions at his popular sudser, especially the exit of a fellow actor who he has played opposite on the soap on-and-off for almost three decades.

I am guessing Y & R.

Cast members at this soap are just as frustrated as the fans about the pathetic state the once magnificent serial finds itself in.

'I am worried for my character," admits one soap thesp.

Tough! In a lot of ways it has As The World Turns written all over it The show is a hot mess when the potential to be good is there with such a strong cast. But the writing and the storyline execution is beyond dismal and non-sensical.

Then I started thinking about the state of All My Children. I am still leaning toward the former.

Fans wondering why this popular star isn't heading back to daytime, now that a soap is bringing back her former character shouldn't be mad at the daytime drama, the actress is actually nine-months preggers and due to pop any second!

I think this is Nancy st alban, they are bringing Michelle back and I know NSA is pregnant. Oh well I prefer a new face any way.

I was thinking KZ to regarding the comment about leaving before she returning with her supercouple partner. If that is the case, so long Kim I prefer no Reva to Jeffrey and Reva.

Please let the last one be Guiding Light, pretty please!!

Why on earth is KZ opposed to a Josh/Reva reunion? That's just shocking to me. Is it a personal thing with the actor or what?

The last time I remember a soap doing that we got Christina Chambers as Marty. If it is GL they better stop and think. LOL!

"Fans wondering why this popular star isn't heading back to daytime, now that a soap is bringing back her former character shouldn't be mad at the daytime drama, the actress is actually nine-months preggers and due to pop any second!"

By looking at previous posts, this could definitely be Nancy St. Alban and why GL wants to recast Michelle. I say wait for the girl to drop that load then give her a contract...!

That explains SO much. Meanwhile, another actress who is slightly—just slightly—better on the same soap could be getting the axe soon.

'They're bringing on a new younger lead, a SORAS'ed character from a core family, and if she doesn't have chemistry with him, she's out when her next 13-week cycle is up!' says the snitch.
Hmm, wouldn't it be awesome if executive producers, network executives and head writers were given 13 weeks to shape up before being shown the door? I mean, aren't they the one who hire these people to begin with and then write absolutely terrible storylines for them? Just a thought!"

So, DAYS has given Molly Burnett a golden ticket, while Shelley Henning could be shown the door? Perfect...
Not sure who the SORAS'ed recast could be. Is it NuWill?

Dammit, if Kim Zimmer is refusing to have Josh & Reva put back together, her ass can walk! Love her to death, but this is not about her personal feelings. You go to Peapack to do a job, now do it!!!!!

Oh, really, Frons? We'll see how things are looking once Agnes Nixon's AMC scrapbook is hanging by the final page. I bet Dixie will be back then, you miserable SOB!

Well, it seems that Wheeler & Co. were able to pull their asses out of the fire for now. GL is firing on all cylinders, so I don't hope that she think this extra year will give her time to start dragging her heels again. IMPROVE THE PRODCUTION MODEL, CONTINUE TO GIVE US GOOD WRITING, AND KEEP THE VETS FRONT & CENTER!!!!

These goddamn soaps, I tell ya....

Gotta be Rebecca Budig for the two soaper???

I think the outraged guy is MEK and that the actor that plays joe is out. But who knows.

That's is probably B&B or GH. Both has been awful for years now.

On note, I hope that this industry gets its act together before there won't be a soap to watch.

**************

Both of those sound like Days. But I'm guessing the second one is most likely another blurb from Braeden. Although I wouldn't be suprised if it was Joseph Mascolo.

I feel so bad for the B&B it USED to be such a good show and now its toast!!! As, for the "diva" I think this is Ms.Zimmer. I don't know what she is THINKING! Ms.Zimmer IS NOT the show! She does't respect the couple that put her ass on top actress! I not sure if Ms.Zimmer does'nt want a reuion but WOULD go with being with someone else (other than jeffery) or she has made a chioce that she writes her OWN storylines and actress or actors that she WANTS to "act" with?! All, I can say is thats to bad! She needs to go! Leave! ASAP!

"Fans wondering why this popular star isn't heading back to daytime, now that a soap is bringing back her former character shouldn't be mad at the daytime drama, the actress is actually nine-months preggers and due to pop any second!"

My guess would be Renee Elise Goldsberry. She is due any minute pregnant, and I heard that Cristian would be making a trek to her bedside soon.

-----------------------------

I also agree with the above - if this *is* Kim Zimmer, then fine - show her the door. She shouldn't be pulling this attitude anyway, especially with the show trying to stay afloat. I used to think GL couldn't survive without her, but now - especially with the writing being very strong lately - I believe it could. There are other strong female veterans that could fill the void (put Vanessa, Alexandria, and Lillian front and center). Curiosity question - is this why the role of Roxie was never (re)cast, in case Zimmer leaves?

i'm saddened if it is kz, but i have to say i'm glad it's her because thought it might be gh's sbu about jason and sam. i know how adament he was about a liz/jason pairing.

They can easily give Liz Keifer (Blake) a contract and build her character back up in Reva's place. Recast Marah and give Joshua a smoking hot love interest. Reva can have that damn baby, then leave Peapack. And take Bradley Cole's ass with her!

******************************************************
I think the first part of the comment does indeed refer to Molly Burnett, which would also explain why she is on the pre-nom list because the producers have pushed for it. LAME! The show should come first, not who you like and don't like.

I think the second half of the comment refers to the actress who plays Mia on Days. If she has no chemistry with NuWill, I think they will dump her. Couldn't care less either way. I was surprised she even got a contract in the first place.

Is this Bo/Nora again?

*******************************************************

I'm guessing that this is All My Children. I don't know who's worried, but everyone on that show should be upset.

I think the "dismal" young adult actress with friends in the production office is the actress who plays Ashlee, and the "slightly better" one is Daisy (they are SORASing James Spauling, so I'm guessing they are going to try him with Daisy).

I'd be very sad to find out that KZ was standing in the way of a Josh/Reva reunion, but if that's the case, let her leave. Reva and Jeffrey are dismal. That being said, I'd be really surprised to find that was the case. This woman did the clone story, for God's sake, and she objects to a reunion with Josh?

**This daytime star is absolutely REFUSING to let the soap he or she works on script a reunion for the iconic supercouple they were once a part of– even though fans have been screaming for it for years!

My first thought was Kim Zimmer as well, but I hope I am wrong. I would really lose a lot of respect for her if she is demanding this. Reva and Josh are soulmates!

**Cast members at this soap are just as frustrated as the fans about the pathetic state the once magnificent serial finds itself in. "I am worried for my character," admits one soap thesp.

This could be almost any soap. AMC, GH, B&B, ATWT, etc. Take your pick!

I'm going with Cady McClain! AMC has a new Dixie anyways, her name is Krystal!

This has Brian Frons written all over it, with obviously AMC and GH being the two awful soaps! When will this guy lose his job?!

You know, Carol2, I never thought of that. It hasn't made any sense why Bo & Nora haven't reunited yet. She & Clint have NO chemistry, while Bo's been saddled with no love interest. I would rather believe this than Kim Zimmer not wanting Jeva...

My guess would be either Days, As the World Turns, All My Children and Bold and the Beautiful.

I am guessing it is either Cameron Mathison or Alicia Minshew. Minshew and Mathison have openly stated that the couple of Rendall is over and can't really compete with Zendall(which is true). Ryan needs a woman who won't eventually kiss his a$$ and Kendall needs to stay with her husband

I think the part that some are missing is the phrase "iconic supercouple". There was never anything iconic about Ryan and Kendall and as much as I loved Bo and Nora I wouldn't classify them as iconic.

---------------------------------
REG isn't due any minute. She announced at the end of January that she was six months pregnant so she still has a little ways to go.
