15 Dysfunctional Soap Opera Families We'd Go Home With For The Holidays
By Daytime Confidential on December 13, 2012
No. 15: The Graysons, Revenge
Retribution is a dish best served over the holidays, if you're a member of the Grayson clan on ABC's smash primetime soap Revenge. Blackmail, corporate espionage, insider trading and not-quite-fatal tumbles off balconies could all be on the gourmet menu, but for the chance to break holiday bread with Queen Victoria (Madeleine Stowe), we'd risk it.
How Being Fired From Y&R Helped Twilight Hunk Cam Gigandet's Career
By Jamey Giddens on December 05, 2008
Twilight star Cam Gigandet revealed in the December issue of Men's Health, on newsstands now, how being fired from the role of Daniel Romalotti on The Young and the Restless actually helped boost his confidence about his career.
So much relies on your confidence. To be let go from a soap opera is the most embarassing confidence basher in the world. It's like, 'Oh, if I'm not good enough for that, I'm not good enough for anyting.' So that was tough, but you learn that one of that stuff matters. You keep pushing forward. "
Looks like everyone benefited from Gigandet's firing. He was dismal as Daniel, couldn't act his way off the back patio of Crimson Lights, but by the time he started landing gigs like the badass, surfer boy who bedded Coop (Mischa Barton) and then accidently killed her on The O.C., he was a totally different and vastly improved actor. Meanwhile, Y&R fans got the amazing Michael Graziadei as Daniel , who will no doubt soon be competing with Gigandet for film roles.
