Bold and Beautiful's Brad Bell: "Ron Weaver Will Forever Remain in Our Hearts"
By Jamey Giddens on May 15, 2013
On the heels of the passing of The Young and the Restless' Jeanne Cooper, the Bell television dynasty has been rocked by the death of another longterm employee and friend. Ron Weaver, who for almost three decades worked as a producer on The Bold and the Beautiful, died on May 11. He was 75.
Before entering the world of daytime dramas in 1986, ahead of the launch of B&B, Weaver was part of the original creative team behind Sesame Street. I reached out to B&B showrunner Bradley Bell for his thoughts on Weaver's passing and his legacy.
"I am saddened to learn of the passing of Ron Weaver," said Bell. "Ron was talented, a good friend to all of us, and a 26 year producer of The Bold and the Beautiful. He will be missed, will always be remembered and will forever remain in our hearts."

Steffy Crashes on The Bold and the Beautiful!
By Regan Cellura on May 13, 2013
I’m sorry, but whose idea was it for a pregnant lady to ride a motorcycle? I briefly had the thought of Steffy (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) crashing, as she came down the aisle on her wedding day, but apparently I was just clairvoyant. Poor Liam (Scott Clifton) just wanted some ribs, and instead his wife got T-boned.
Bill (Don Diamont) has become Uncle of the year to Caroline, (Linsey Godfrey) and I can’t help but wonder if the true Spencer in Caroline is working her Uncle by sobbing on his shoulder. Alison gave Bill more dirt on Maya (Karla Mosley), and she reminded me and everyone else Ricky Paull Goldin is headed to The Bold and the Beautiful . I almost felt like I was watching another show on another network with how long it took for him to pop up on screen. Even then, it was only a picture. It’s not above Bill to bring someone to town, felon or not. READ MORE

Decadent, Deceitful and Defiant, DeVanity Launches Season 4 Indiegogo Campaign Drive
By Luke Kerr on May 11, 2013
DeVanity is the most delectable, independent soap on the web and it needs your help to return for a fourth season. DeVanity served up more juicy, fantastic drama in Season 3 than several soaps that air on TV have in years.
To deliver a fourth season complete with the soap's slick production values, edge-of-your-seat scripts, talented cast and must-see guest stars, DeVanity has launched an Indiegogo campaign.
Every single penny fans donate goes directly toward production costs. Whether you donate $5 or $5,000, DeVanity has perks for everyone who helps them bring about another season.
Fans who donate $5 will receive a personal tweet. A donation of $10 will get a personal Thank You on both Twitter and Facebook. For $30, supporters will receive the Complete Third Season on DVD, including behind-the-scenes interviews and bloopers. A $50 donation gets fans a Season 2 and Season 3 combo pack. Those who drop $75 get all three seasons.
Ever want to see your name in the credits of a TV show? Now you can, with a donation of $100 to DeVanity’s fourth season. A $1,000 donation earns supporters an Associate Producer Credit on IMDB (It is a Title Only). Giving $2,000 will deliver a DeVanity Walk on Role (see details at Indiegogo). Helping the cause with a $3,000 donation will reward supporters with an Executive Producer Credit on IMDB (It is a Title Only).
There is even a way for a business man or woman to support DeVanity, by becoming a Business Sponsor with a donation of $5,000 (see details on Indiegogo).
DeVanity has already raised $3,245 of their $10,000 goal on Indiegogo. The soap's Season 4 campaign ends on June 20 at 11:59 pm PST.
