This weeks spoilers are now posted! And even with only four new shows this week, it's mayhem in Pine Valley as Erica gives up FUSION, Scott and Erica both have offers for Caleb, Greenlee finds out about David's deal, Angie continues to hide her condition and Colby not only turns down the NYC offer, but is determined to find out who Damon is seeing behind her back!
How cool is this!? David Canary (Adam/Stuart - I don't have the heart to put the "ex") has been tapped as a guest star in an episode of Season 8 of the HBO hit comedy, Curb Your Enthusiasm!! The show is currently filming in NYC but will likely not air until sometime next year. Click here to see a pic of David in a scene (as a drug dealer!?) with Curb star, Larry David. And check back with the PVB for details as they filter in!
Happy Birthday wishes to Elizabeth Hendrickson!!! AMC's former Maggie (and her twin Frankie) celebrates her 31st birthday today! Elizabeth can currently be seen on Young and the Restless.
Jacob Young (JR) along with Jason Thompson (GH) will be appearing at the Girl's Day Out event at the South Point Exhibit Hall in Las Vegas, Nevada on Saturday, July 10 from 12:00 - 3:00 pm. The event is free!! Click here for more information.
Happy Birthday wishes to Nicolas Surovy! AMC's Mike Roy celebrates his 66th birthday today! And while Erica's marriage to Mike was deemed invalid (because she was never truly divorced from Adam), he remains one of her great loves. Do you remember what number husband he would have been?
At least for a brief time, but maybe longer? That remains to be seen. Carolyn Hinsey of SOD is reports from her Vegas blog:
A few AMC stars asked me how Thorsten Kaye is doing (great!) and are pleased he is coming back to film Kendall's return in July. Can't AMC write a juicy story worthy of his talents and work out a deal where Thorsten flies back and forth to LA? "We're working on it," whispered an exec.
As previously reported, Eva LaRue (ex-Maria) married businessman Joe Cappuccio this past Saturday, June 26, in Zihuatanejo,Mexico. Well ok, it was previously reported that they were to wed in Thailand, but things change! The bride wore a won shoulder gown Oday Shakar gown that she helped design. The couple were set to wed last year, but ended up calling it off and remained apart for 8 months. After reuniting in November it wasn't long before the wedding was back on! Congratulations to both Eva and Joe! Eva was previously married to John O'Hurley from 1992 to 1994, and then to AMC co-star John Callahan (ex-Edmund) from 1996 to 2005. The happy couple will be featured in the new issue of Life & Style magazine.
AMC's Emmy winning Costume Designer, David Zyla, has an interview with the Solessence Beauty Blog that posted today. In it he talks about how he got his start, his success in the business and his recently published book, The Color of Style. It's a testament to David's talent as Costume Designer that the longest thread on the PVB Message boards is all about the shows fashions!
Cameron Mathison (Ryan) had an interview this morning with Twin Cities Live and mentions that he's been filming Ryan in the hospital lately, from a life changing ordeal. Hmm... what happens to Ryan?? And how will it affect Greenlee?
I'm thrilled that the Daytime Emmys found a home on network television this year. And I think it's really fun that the show was held in Las Vegas. But this years telecast suffered from the same problem as last years. While last years show was on the CW network, it was, in essence, a two hour commercial for CW. This years show was more like a two hour commercial for Las Vegas. The acts that still perform there came out to pay tribute to Dick Clark. Not that he doesn't deserve a tribute, but still it was Vegasy. Cirque deSoleil was there to help present an award. The Vegas production of The Lion King was also on hand. Heck even David Copperfield made an appearance lest you forget it's Vegas baby!
This is where the Emmys falters. They work so hard at trying to make an entertaining show that they forget what they are actually there for and WHO should be doing that entertaining. I cannot be alone in my desire to see our daytime stars being the ones who entertain. Every year, ABC Daytime puts on a big show in NYC for Broadway Cares where the stars come out and sing, perform, dance, do all kinds of things. THIS is what the Daytime Emmys should showcase. Highlight our daytime stars. Isn't that what the Daytime Emmys should be about? And I'm not just talking about the soaps. Regis sings. Whoopie is a comedian, as is Ellen. If they have to have performances, get the people of daytime to perform!
And isn't this what Soapnet should have been concentrating on all along? Featuring Daytime performers? Now Soapnet is on it's last legs, having all but forgotten what it was created for in the first place (wouldn't Soapnet be the ideal home for the Daytime Emmys???). Last year, while the Daytime Emmys hung in the balance of no broadcast, Soapnet did not step to the plate to show it. That still boggles my mind. If the Emmys get a telecast next year, I'll be very surprised.
But there were highlights. Some very lovely highlights in fact. Maura West winning Outstanding Lead Actress for As the World Turns was one of my favorite moments of the night. True, I've never seen her act. I only know her name from seeing it in the soap mags and at awards shows. I don't even know her character name. But when she won and the camera panned to her daughter crying with joy for her mother, and then Maura herself calling daughter Catherine up to the stage to be with her... well I'm a sap. I openly admit that. And I cried right along with them. It was such a sweet moment and a precious moment as Maura ended mentioning all her children by name and saying, "Catherine and I will curtsy for them" and she and daughter both bowed down into a beautiful curtsy. Lovely moment.
Of course, the tribute to Agnes Nixon was the biggest highlight of the night for me. How she had gone this long without receiving a lifetime achievement award is something I cannot fathom. But she has it now and the tribute paid to her was beautiful and heartfelt. Susan Lucci (Erica) was chosen to give the award and it was the perfect choice. I love when Susan said, "I would not be who I am today, I would not be here today if Agnes Nixon had not created the feisty Erica Kane." So many people were filmed thanking Agnes for all her contributions to daytime. It was so lovely, so in case you missed it, here it is again:
By contrast, the tribute to As the World Turns, going off the air on September 17, 2010 after 54 years, was an shameful embarrassment. If it lasted all of two minutes I'd be surprised. How about cutting out The Lion King segment and remembering what the Daytime Emmys are for!
Expectant parentsJustin Bruening (ex-Jamie) and Alexa Havins (ex-Babe) attend the world premiere of the new Project Natal for XBox 360. The couple is expecting their first child, a girl, in August.
Finding full length pictures of the men is definitely not as easy as finding them for the women! Maybe the photographers think we don't want to see what the guys are wearing, but hello... we do! The men of AMC are already so handsome, but add a tux, or a beautifully tailored suit and they are downright drool worthy!
As you can see, Walt's tux arrived unscathed! Walt Willey (Jack) is downright dashing!
Doing a little creative editing, here's a pic of Cameron Mathison (Ryan) on stage presenting the award for Outstanding Younger Actor.
Our loan male nominee of the night, Ricky Paull Goldin (Jake) looked very Bond, James Bond in his white dinner jacket with black pants.
JR Martinez (Brot) was featured during the "Daytime Gives Back" segment. He looks amazing and I always love his smile!
Jacob Young (JR) certainly knows how to look great! Love the shiny tie.
What can you say about Vincent Irizarry (David)! The grey, the purple, the handsome? OK, a tie would have been nice (Cameron too for that matter!), but Vincent looks positively yummy IMO!
AMC may not have won any Emmys tonight but Diva Blackwell has a few things to say about our stars knowing how to dress for the occasion! The color of the night was definitely silver and gold and many of our ladies shined. (remember you can click on any picture to enlarge it)
The stunning Bobbie Eakes (Krystal), nominated tonight for Outstanding Lead Actress, wore a beautiful silver gown and you can see just a hint of a red shoe. She looks amazing!
Rebecca Budig (Greenlee) a presenter tonight, also in silver, shined! Her ensemble was a bit more casual, but the up do and the awesome shoes completed a great look.
Chrishell Stause (Amanda) was interviewed backstage about working on a soap. This girl can wear a burlap sack and look gorgeous but this dress is no burlap sack! Is it two shades of gold or both silver and gold? I can't tell in the pics. Her hair is fantastic too!
Not to be outdone and pulling in not just color but a pattern too, Denise Vasi (Randi) is always a stunner.
And check out those kickin shoes!
No Emmy night would be complete without Susan Lucci (Erica)!! I'm a sucker for a black gown and tonight, Susan's did not disappoint! Love the bodice, love the mermaid bottom. Love her hair! Love her head to toe.
Jamie Luner (Liza) also opted for black (much like Liza lol). The look is simple but elegant.
Melissa Claire Egan (Annie) looked like a Grecian goddess in this pale yellow gown. Her hair, from what I could make out in the pic, looks stunning!
And even though she was on the road with Walt's tux, Stephanie Gatschet (Madison) certainly did not forget to pack her own dress. What a knock out!!! I love the broach on the bodice, I love the color with the black at the bottom.
