Hey Gang,



It's time to lather up, so grab a Frappe and pull up a chair as I throw a few suds your way this beautiful May's eve.

An ABC script I relayed to you a couple of months ago basically broke the news that someone beloved was to be killed on AMC and the news will not please old time fans when the deed is finally done. Life imitates art and in this case, the show had no choice. This person is one of my all time favorites. Unfortunately ABC sees this as the "humane" thing to do and if you understood the backstage end of it, the scripted part would probably make more sense. It's a very sad situation and one that will leave it's mark on daytime for years to come (if we have that long).

As for the aftermath, look for major shifts in power with a certain leading man showing that he is the very image of his father in more ways than one. Babe and JR part 2 is coming to a screen near you very soon with Marissa as the latest incarnation of Babe. I relayed yet another script to you about 7 weeks back that basically let the cat out of the bag that this was Krystal's long lost daughter. In this case, Krystal sold her child and Marissa will make Krystal's world a dark one as payback. Look for the two to find common ground and put the past aside, though this will not happen for some time to come. In the meantime Marissa plans to play all kinds of games on her new found Mama. It's old home week kids. All that's missing is the trailer park.

I told you we had lots of casting changes coming up and Amanda (Chrishell Stause) was long overdue (she was set to go a year ago, but they didn't want to lose all their younger leading ladies at once. Out with the old and in with the new. Frons wants fresh faces and fresh faces it is, although that's not even a band aid let alone any real fix for the bigger problems ABC is facing. Certain long time actors are being phased out without exit stories so watch carefully. You'll understand when you see it.

That powerful OLTL female vet I alerted you about months ago, is in even worse trouble than before if that's possible. She's not alone as another female vet will simply be seen now and then as window dressing, until eventually they cut her out almost completely which I find rather vile. They feel that both are costing them a fortune and both are past their prime (obviously they aren't in touch with their audience or they would know better).

If they were, they would have seen the amazing chemistry between Ray and Dorian. Chemistry that doesn't come along very often. They would have recognized the incredible potential in having these two powerhouses together which is so strikingly reminiscent of the magic that was once Mel and Dorian. That kind of chemistry is rare and hard to create, but with Ray and Dorian, it was natural and fun to watch. Many are asking why A. Martinez was let go with so much potential and so much chemistry with his co-star Robin Strasser. Well the answer is staring you in the face my friends. Personally I cannot imagine a Llanview without Dorian Lord and all her meddling. She still drives story and as Tyra would say, the woman is still fierce! Many of you have already written on behalf of the amazingly talented and iconic Erika Slezak (Viki), but I would like to ask you to write a second letter on behalf of Robin Strasser (Dorian). It would be a dark day in Llanview without the bewitching and deliciously evil Dorian and if you don't want to see the diva-fest end, put pen to paper and do it now (and it couldn't hurt to let the show know how you wanted to see more of Dorian and Ray).

Speaking of campaigns, a war is being waged at GH however it looks like a certain figurehead at the show was outnumbered. Recurring is another name for see you around some time and that's about the extent of it for Megan Ward (Kate). Nobody wanted to hear this when I told you it was coming months ago and yet here we are. I will miss her because she is incredibly talented and charismatic, however Kate has been made to appear more and more unlikable as we go along. This was orchestrated very carefully and absolutely done on purpose. The hope is that you won't care as much by the time she goes. Look for Olivia to be the new one to watch as she is moved front and center. Look for many explosions between Claudia and Olivia. They are said to be extremely ugly and as down and dirty as they come. Lucky and Liz, Rebecca and Nikolas, all wrapped up neatly with a bow and everything, but where will this leave Jason you might ask? Get ready for a very big surprise!!

Matthew will walk again on OLTL leading into a more mature story for Eddie Alderson. Cole and Starr pull together again and make a painful decision regarding the baby (because of course, it's the right thing to do or so they feel). Wave goodbye to Michael and Marcie who finally get what they want. The fans are not raving about that newer leading man I spoke of before, so look for an exit story to be penned as soon this arc is complete (things move slowly out there guys, can't help the time lines sorry). Things would look choppy if they didn't complete the arcs already planned.

Now here's some interesting news I heard from my special friend last week. Seems a certain leading man may now be on his way back to OLTL with a new contract and a major story. This is being batted around backstage with tongues wagging. This may also trigger a major reunion for this character and his devastated lady love. I will keep you posted on this. Another very interesting bit of news as well. This is not even close to being written in stone so please try to keep the hysterics down. There is talk of offering a major one time leading female a contract to return once things have settled down for her, however the scuttle is that she may not even bite at this juncture. Seems we have an issue of pride here, so this could go either way, however they are desperate. The ratings are plummeting and they need to find a way to stop the bleeding. They realize that she was a huge fan favorite and major draw, so it is indeed being mulled around. This time for real.

And before we head off into Preview land, here are a few scripts that ABC has released recently that were already put out at SOC by me. I have been incredibly busy lately and did not put them out here like I usually do. Here they are just in case you haven't seen them yet. Also if I have not addressed anything here that you wanted news on, it simply means I have no further updates at this time for that particular item. Here are those script summaries:

Script for a soldier for AMC:

This is a short script to cast for the of a soldier to interact with Brot. The scene opens with Brot telling Willis (the soldier) that it's good to see him again. Brot asks him how managed to pull spa duty. Willis says that he nearly went home in a body bag. That there was blood and fire everywhere. That Hubbs pulled him out and saved his life. That he wants to find him and thank him. Brot says that Hubbs is not in a good place right now. Brot asks if he is heading home. Willis says that his home is gone. Bank took it along with everything else he had. Brot looks saddened and says there's a lot of that is going on lately, but to be glad he didn't come home in a coffin. Willis nods and tells Brot to give his regards to Hubbs when he sees him. Scene ends.

Script for Abraham OLTL (keep in mind that OLTL always changes around the real names to throw us off, AMC does not).

Abraham approaches Tom Murray and introduces himself as the general manager of the club. He says that he wants to speak to him about the charges that he and Mrs. Murray ran up at the club earlier that day. Barbara speaks up and says that the timing is very bad just now. That she and Tom were having a very private moment. Abraham says "and what better way to end a day of larceny, fraud and trespassing." Tom speaks up and says that there must be a misunderstanding. Abraham smiles and says "well I guess you didn't realize that we would know that the Murray's do not have a grandson." Abraham suddenly yells for the officers to come and arrest them. The cops read them their rights as they are being handcuffed. Barbara asks if she can at least have some clothes. Abraham says that they'll just be added to the tab they have running. Abraham says that he wants these hooligans prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. That they ordered a Chateau Lafita Rothschild with nacho's. That they broke into the club claiming to be Murray's grandson and his wife. That just ordering vintage champagne with nacho's should be reason enough to arrest the swine.

Abraham isn't done ranting. He tells the officers that he found the two criminals lying horizontally doing things that break at least three club rules and wants them to fry. Sam chimes in and says don't worry Abe, they need to pay and they will. Scene ends.

Script For an OBGYN Doctor AMC:

The scene opens with Amanda in a wheelchair at the hospital going into obvious labor. Jake says that the contractions are coming very fast now. That he will go scrub. The doctor says it's too late for a C Section. The baby's coming far too fast for that. Jake says that the last thing Amanda wanted was natural child birth. The doctor assures him that she won't be in pain long because she is completely dilated. Jake whispers that Amanda didn't even want to see the baby. The scene cuts to Amanda pushing with all her might. The doctor says that something is wrong. Amanda is beginning to get frantic between her labored breaths and asks him what's wrong. The doctor says that the umbilical cord is wrapped around the baby's neck. The nurse shouts that the baby's pulse is dropping. Jake yells for him to do something. Jake says that the baby is coming. That it's here. Amanda asks the doctor if the cord is OK now. The OBGYN says that her husband took care of that. Amanda looks around and asks why she doesn't hear her baby breathing. Scene ends.

Finally before we head out, don't forget to vote for the mega-talented, utterly phenomenal, superstar in the making Adam Lambert on American Idol! The guy has forever raised the bar for this show. Words are not even adequate. He is a genius, a showman and a singer with range that is just beyond belief. I must say on a personal note that never have I seen talent like this on any show period. Unreal! Vote vote vote!!!

ABC Hot Sheet:

For weeks, Adam's been torturing Krystal with some secret that she'd kill to keep quiet (and yes, she does threaten to kill him this week. She's that serious). David and Erica know something's up, but aren't quite sure. But it totally involves Marissa. We're placing bets that most of you have guessed that Marissa is Krystal's daughter. Pat yourselves on the back because you're right! Marissa is indeed David and Krystal's daughter -- Babe's sister -- whom Krystal didn't raise. And it's why Krystal's REALLY not liking the growing closeness between Marissa and David. But this is only Part 1 of the secret involving Marissa!

While all this is going on, Marissa and JR are growing closer too. She's totally bonded with Little Adam, and that's endeared her to JR, but there's another draw to her that he can't put his finger on (hey, JR, here's a hint: she's your dead wife's sister). But when he finds out the truth, what will he do?

Across town, little Ian Slater's heart is acting up again. And things are BAD. Kendall and Zach learn that there's a problem with one of his heart valves, and unless they rectify the problem ASAP, Ian will die. Timing is everything, because remember that heart valve prototype that Chandler Enterprises is developing? Well, Kendall and Zach get wind of this prototype and even though the surgery would be experimental, it's Ian's only shot, so they agree to it. They even get David to do it -- and don't think he doesn't get something in return. But what everyone fails to realize -- until the surgery is underway -- is that the valve is so experimental, it has a 60% fail rate. Oops. What will Zach and Kendall do to the Chandlers when they find this out (OK, what WON'T they do)? More importantly will Ian survive?

All this, PLUS: Word comes about Frankie; Jake declares his feelings for Amanda; and Annie's back in town!

Cable Guide:

Monday
"Episode: Secret File"
Tad finds a secret file about Krystal in Adam's safe; JR remembers more about Dixie's death.

Tuesday
"Episode: Frankie's Injuries"
Frankie's family learns the true extent of his injuries; Zach and Kendall make a difficult decision about Ian.

Wednesday
"Episode: Goodbye Notes"
Amanda leaves Jake a goodbye note before she runs away; Adam tries to persuade David to perform Ian's surgery.

Thursday
"Episode: Defective Heart Valve"
Dr.Chappell warns the doctors that Ian's heart valve is defective; Krystal shares her secret with Tad.

Friday
"Episode: Hush Money"
Adam tries to bribe Dr. Chappell to keep silent about the heart valve problems; Opal catches Aidan snooping at Ryan's penthouse.

SOW scoops courtesy of Betty at SOC:

Tad finds an envelope w/ Krystal's name on it at Chandler mansion & he hands it to her. Krystal confides in Tad that Marissa is her & David's daughter, Babe's twin. Krystal was shocked when she gave birth to twins, couldn't afford to raise both, & made the decision to give Marissa up for adoption. Krystal later searched for Marissa, & befriended her adoptive family, w/o revealing that she was Marissa's birth mom.

Marissa figures out that Krystal is her mom when she notices, while visiting Babe's grave, that she & Babe share the same birthday. Marissa is devastated,
Her reaction will likely pale in comparison to DAVID'S explosive reaction when he learns the news.

Interview w/ Chrishell Stause who shares that Amanda tries to leave PV but thoughts of Jake bring her back...that Jake & Amanda declare their love...that they make love...and that Amanda will struggle to feel worthy of Jake...Jake will help her work through her issues.

Julia Barr (ex-Brooke) has been busy since being let go by AMC. She traveled w/ her husband, is working on a web project w/ Jill Larsen (Opal), & is volunteering at an animal shelter. She has never regretted her refusal to go to recurring, but would consider a return to daytime, including to AMC.

JR will remember more about the day his mother died...Zach rushes Ian, who is feverish, to the hospital...Frankie's injuries are more serious than his family thought...Krystal won't tell David her secret...Opal finds Aidan spying on Ryan...Ian has surgery, performed by David...
Zach wants answers from David...Krystal tells Marissa the truth...Tad suspects Adam...Angie & Jake try to save Ian...

A viewer thinks that Brot & Taylor should be scrapped, since Pratt doesn't know what to do w/ them, & that Taylor should be tried w/ Tad, Jake, Zach, or Ryan. Brot should be tried w/ Colby - they've already clicked.

Mail Bag...Even the A-Team seems to be giving up on Aidan & Annie.

SID Summary from at AMCSoapfan 52405 at SOC:

SID talks about the major player about to bite the dust (with quotes by Pratt) and though he says it's a very closely guarded secret who the victim is (it is?) the killer will be a secret for a long while as well. CP says only the victim knows. The murder will happen in mid-May at Chandler's mansion. He's a well loved-and hated-character. As for the solution, CP says it's right in front of you if you want to figure it out and it has more surprises in it than anything he's ever done and you have to watch every day (yeah right). SID speculates on the victims with photos of Adam, David, Palmer, and Stuart.

Pratt says that Liza will have to watch her back because they want to cast a ruthless DA to pit against her. Pratt wants Justin Deas from GL or someone like him.

VCR Dates:
5/4: KWAK tries to keep her secret from Tad
5/5: Adam knows what KWAK is hiding and threatens to tell all
5/6: David finds out what's going on-could this mean the deal Adam wants to make with him?
5/7: JR is not happy that Adam used Little A for his own gain
5/8: Scott has a nasty surprise
5/12: Zach lets his anger fly at Chandlers
5/13: Zach threatens to kill Adam
5/14: Tad's got a bad feeling Adam was involved in Dixe's death
5/15: A mob of people want answers from Adam for his misdeeds

Asked if Z/K will ever reunite, CP says this story is a very real disintegration of a marriage based on jealousy. Zach's inability to let Kendall go will continue throughout the summer. Kendall is a mess and she'll wonder if the real love of her life is Ryan or is it Zach.

Speak out says that fans are ticked at Kendall (call her a b**ch) and that she better matches Ryan who is a jerk and they deserve one another. Petey fans want something other than his mooning over Colby who they say doesn't deserve him.

I forgot to mention a message board about Liza. Some like her with Zach, some want to see her with Tad; some wonder why she wasn't cast as Skye ; some think only MW can be Liza; one laughs at how stupid it is that she is now a lawyer.

ABC Hot Sheet:

Natalie and Jared will be wishing they'd kept their noses out of the Hope/Chloe baby-switch situation this week. Starr and Cole have just gotten the DNA tests back, and they seem to indicate that the baby that died all those months ago wasn't theirs after all. They haven't put all the pieces together yet (that's why they plan to exhume the body!), but lab-technician-to-the-stars Kyle has. So Kyle does not pass go and goes directly to Llanfair, where he hits up Natalie and Jared for $100,000 -- or else the truth comes out!

That's only ONE of Cole's problems, though. The other major issue is that he's seeing things. And by "things," we mean Matthew. Except it's not the real Matthew; it's Hallucination Matthew, who happens to be encouraging Cole to jump off the ledge of La Boulaie. Young Mr. Thornhart has made a nasty cocktail by mixing drug withdrawal with extreme guilt. Yikes! Don't jump, Cole!

Rex and Gigi are dreaming of things that might have been -- like their wedding! This leads to a tender moment (and a kiss) between the former lovers, but don't get too excited -- because that nasty sister of Gigi's, Stacy, won't be going down quietly. She tells Shane his mom's a trollop and that she cheated on his pops with his former fake-dad Brody. Really, Stacy? Telling Shane the fabricated truth ... is there nothing you won't do? Let's hope it's not enough to work.

Those looking to see Stacy finally get what she deserves will be pleased to know that science teacher Extraordinaire Schuyler is onto her games, and has discovered that it wasn't Stacy's blood that saved Shane. And to make matters worse for Stacy, her old promoter arrives on the plane from Vegas -- and he is not happy. See, Stacy stole some money from him before quitting the Strip and now he's back to collect. Hope she didn't spend it all!

John's run of bad luck continues when he gets locked inside Powell's cell at the nut house. And all he has for company is a dead body! Powell, on the other hand, is on the loose. Marty, watch out!

All this, PLUS: Viki starts to figure out what's going on with Rex and Gigi thanks to Jessica and Brody's inability to keep their hands off each other; prom season goes into full swing, with Matthew and Destiny bemoaning the fact they don't have dates; and Cristian goes back to painting, this time with Layla as his muse.

Serial Killer Revealed:

The killers are Powell and Rebecca. After John finds the dead nurse that Rebecca's been pretending to be in Powell's cell, Rebecca locks him in with the dead body. Powell meanwhile shows up on Marty's doorstep. Tea, Todd, & Blair are poisoned. RC says the point of this s/l is to remind viewers that their were two other rapists and it was the next step in the Todd & Marty story and a way to give the rape closure. Also to bring John back to being a cop.

Rex Makes A Bold Move

Rex turns to Stacy and kisses her.

Stuff We Know:

Shawn's brother is being cast.

Evangeline's not returning.

SOD gives OLTL a thumbs down for becoming boring & all the couples becoming stale and boring. They say the only interesting things on the show are the Gannon/Buchanan family stuff & Todd & Tea's relationship.

OLTL: Casting News

From SOD Online:

Terrell Tilford has been cast in the contract role of Dr. Greg Evans on ONE LIFE TO LIVE. Tilford is best known to soap viewers as David Grant on GUIDING LIGHT from 1998 to 2001. He also played Dr. Carrington on DAYS OF OUR LIVES for several episodes in 2008. Though OLTL offered no storyline details, Dr. Greg is about the same age as Rachel. Hmmm. Tilford's first air date is June 23.

ABC Hot Sheet

This week presents yet another dilemma for Carly and Sonny (and Jax), as they wrestle over whether they should sign off on an experimental surgery for Michael. Patrick and the other doctors are very direct: they believe that unless they operate ASAP, Michael doesn't stand a chance of survival. It's a tough decision for his parents -- but ultimately, they decide for the surgery. Patrick, despite his own anxieties, starts the operation and then ... Michael flatlines.

Not helping anything is the fact that Claudia is insistent upon being by Sonny's side during all this Michael drama. Which just serves to tick everyone off, most especially Jason -- who is keeping his convictions regarding her guilt in Michael's shooting to himself. For now.

Meanwhile, Maxie's plan to win back Spinelli's affections by pretending to get mugged backfires spectacularly, with Johnny having to come to the rescue ... which just makes Spinelli feel worse. But Maxie's not giving up, opting for a more straightforward seduction to win Spinelli back. Maxie, will you ever learn?

The love quadrangle with Lucky, Rebecca, Nikolas, and Elizabeth clears itself up this week, as Lucky and Rebecca decide to end things so they can be with Liz and Nikolas, respectively. In fact, Lucky and Liz admit their feelings for each other and agree to try to give love another go! Look for Nikolas and Rebecca to resume their odd courtship, despite the fact that Alexis is still digging for dirt on Rebecca. Seriously; Alexis is determined to get something.

All this, PLUS: The much-anticipated results from Luke and Ethan's DNA test will be revealed. Don't miss it!

From Soapnet.Com

So, this weekend at Stagecoach, we kept hearing buzz about the possibility of Martha Bryne coming to "General Hospital." Of course, many of you know her for her longtime stint as Lily on "As the World Turns," and also as a script writer for "The Bold and the Beautiful."

We did as much snooping as we could, and then we finally got a chance to talk to Jason Thompson, who confirmed it for us: "I'm really excited, there's a lot of good stuff coming. I just heard that Martha Byrne is going to be joining the show, which is great. It's always good to have someone shake things up -- and especially when it's someone who's had such a distinguished career in daytime."

We can tell you that she'll be playing Mayor Floyd's wife, Andrea, but the details of her storyline are yet to come. Keep checking back for more!

SOW A Closer Look At Spinelli

A Closer Look: Spinelli

SOW notes that Maxie's scheme with the photographer pretending to attack her goes awry when a real mugger comes along and Johnny must save her. What is Spin's reaction?

BA says that he's disappointed that she had to scheme him to start with and that even after she set him up to save her, he wasn't there. He failed when it was supposed to be an easy setup. She's got so little faith in him that the only way he could possibly rescue her is if she plans its. It proves to him, once again, that she and Johnny seem fated to always to one another's side. It sets them back even further.

SOW asks if Spin is even concerned that she was in real danger?

BA says he was. He thinks it's silly that she did it. He tries to get the fact that she could have been in real trouble if Johnny hadn't been there, through to her. It's really depressing for him because actually has to thank Johnny for saving her. It puts him further into his funk.

SOW asks if Maxie tries to explain her intentions.

BA says that tries to explain that she misses him and doesn't care about Johnny. More of the same stuff.

SOW asks if he's still unconvinced.

BA says that with Maxie there's *always* scheming and that will never change. She'll always be drawn to Johnny. What Spin wants from Maxie, she'll never give him because she doesn't have it to give. It's just not worth barking up that tree again. He doesn't want to put himself in a position to get hurt again.

SOW notes that's exactly where Spin winds up when Maxie approaches him about another issue.

BA explains that one of the layouts for Crimson has been hijacked and Maxie comes to him to investigate. At first he thinks it's a scam and tells her he isn't falling for it again. Lulu also comes for his help and he accuses her of perpetuating the ruse. He doesn't understand why she'd try to help Maxie with this. He thought she was better than that and they were better friends. But he soon realizes that Lulu wouldn't do that and that the layout issue is real. So he decides to help them but only for Lulu's sake. He won't do it for Maxie's sake.

SOW notes Spixie stake out Crimson.

BA says they set a trap by putting a tracking device on another layout and they're waiting in the garage for the tracking device to move.

SOW asks if that's when things start to heat up for them.

BA says Maxie asks him to explain how the tracking device works and they're on his laptop watching the beeping dot and are very close in proximity and he can't help himself. Of course, that's what Maxie has been waiting for, not because she's attracted to him but because she wants his attention back to her. So she responds. There's kissing.

SOW asks if it's a hot make-out session.

BA says as much as it can be while on two separate front seats of a Range Rover with a computer in between of them.

SOW asks if he's drawn back to her emotionally, as well.

BA says Spin has been trying really hard to stay strong but once again, he gives in and he can't help but be happy about it. It's what he wants. And when she responds the way he wants, he can't help but be wrapped up in it. He finally allows himself to be hopeful again.

SOW says so naturally it cannot last...

BA says that as they're kissing the tracking device starts to move. Maxie notices and calls Spin's attention to it. They realize only too late that the perps have probably walked right by them. They start following the tracker in the car, and that's when the chase is on...

OK guys that's it for now so be good and have a fabulous weekend! Muah! XOXO!

OLTL without Robin Strasser??? I can't imagine it. Or watch it for that matter. Not blaming the messenger of course, but I think I'll have a lot more space on my DVR in the near future. Thanks for all the hard work Raven!

Love ya Raven, But I am a little sad that your column has gone from weekly to monthly. But what saddens me the most is that we did not even get our prank April Fools Day Column, Long Time Fan

Raven was doing weekly columns, which have to be incredibly time consuming on her own time and for free. It was a gift that we began to take for granted. After reading some of the nonsense that I have seen on other boards, I can completely understand why Raven might want to just throw in the towel or step away altogether. We are probably lucky to even get what we get at this point.

She is shot on a regular basis for being the messenger. If things don't happen fast enough or if they are scrapped or altered, she is called inaccurate and agenda driven. If she tells them something she has heard that isn't something they want to hear, they literally dismember her out there.

She used to do fun April Fools day jokes and I enjoyed them too, but the rabid dogs out there tore her apart for them. The fans have become so intense and unpleasant that they can't even enjoy a joke anymore. Each time she did a April Fools joke, fan bases would call her out and say that she was purposely trying to upset them and finally I noticed that she stopped. This is all very serious business for them and there can't be funny moments or jokes or even just human error.

And you wonder why we rarely see her out here anymore? We are a dying breed. The soaps are dying. The magazines are folding and now they want to make things so unpleasant for Raven that she goes away too. I would not blame her if she did just that and left everyone with nothing but the cable guide anymore. Soon that's all we will have at this rate.

You should see how the crucified her because Cady McClain was not coming back! Oh boo hoo Raven helped to get our hopes up boo hoo. It was nuts! If you are so weak and pathetic that you can't handle a soap scoop that may or may not happen, don't read them and by all means protect yourself from harm! Sheesh!

Good lord!

There are some crazy people out there! Shooting the messenger is putting it mildly!

I have never had the urge to write to a soap until now. Erika Slezak AND Robin Strasser? What are they thinking. Do TPTB actually watch the show?

Even with nothing to work with Vicki and Dorian shine. Dorian and Ray are hot together. What's going on? I don't want them to cancel OLTL, but I wonder if that is the overall goal? To drag things out and make it an inevitable choice.

Then I guess we will be watching more of the animated (behind the scenes) shorts on youtube about the calculated demise of the shows we love and characters we cherish.

Interesting that Julia Barr is putting out feelers that she'd return to AMC just as you're reporting rumblings that some other older AMC characters are about to be "Brooked"!

I can see Jackson phased out without a word, just as Brooke was. He hasn't had much to do and now that All His Children are off the canvas (one way or another), I hope Walt Willey has been tuning up his stand-up routine!

I am not happy over AMC I had stopped watching when Annie went crazy and started again when you broke news of the murder I am guessing is either Adam (most likely) or Erica but will be gone when it is over so am I with the soap I have watched since I was 5 a little over 30 years ago. It is a sad time for soaps.

I hope you do not get rid of Vikki or Dorian. I remember when they had another Dorian written in to the show and she was pretty good but she was definitely not Robin; and it was indeed hard to watch with the other lady playing her. Everytime I would see the other actor I would be wishing that Robin was back as Dorian. The Clint they have these days leaves alot to be desired for sure (needs to go to acting school). But please KEEP Dorian and Vikki :) They also should have kept Nash and got rid of Antonio or Christian instead.

Hey Raven-- It was great to open up your site and see a new post! I hope you're doing well. We all missed you!

So I guess the rumors about David C on AMC are true. That the actor is having some issues remembering his lines-- which is a sad situation! :( But in all honesty-- if this is what's best for DC- then AMC needs to do what’s right for him. I guess we will JR turning into a power hungry SOB!!! :) I hope that if Adam does leave they will kick up Tad's involvement with JR a notch or two!! And speaking of Tad—when are they gonna give MEK a new love interest on AMC???

I AM GOING ON RECORD TO SAY -- A OLTL WITHOUT VIKI & DORIAN IS NOT WORTH WATCHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I always say that ES & RS are the super couple of OLTL! I will start my write in campaign to save these two dames!

I am stumped on the leading man who may be heading back to OLTL -- with a new contract and a major story??? My mind quickly went to a return of Max or Kevin. The lady love part is what's throwing me a bit???? Max's return could lead to a reunion between Max & Blair.. since she is playing second fiddle to Marty these days. Kevin doesn’t have a devastated lady left in Llainview. Then of course it has me wondering if a Nash look alike is coming to TOWN???

I guess OLTL is trying to get Gina T back-- but maybe she is hurt that they recast Kelly with Heather Tom??? Or maybe Andrea E back as Tina-- after the horrible return she had last summer?????? Although I think it's most likely Gina T.

And finally -- I had some questions about the CROSSOVERS you wrote about on 4-4-09. Back then you wrote the ink was almost dry for the OLTL crossover. Well did they seal the deal?? And is she a crossover from another ABC show?
And what about the crossover to AMC-- when should we expect that news??

I am shocked Martha B is going to GH-- I thought for sure she would head to OLTL as Cassie. But I guess a cassie return wouldn't be so amazing if they are phasing out Dorian! :(

I'm guessing that it's going to be Stuart, rather than Adam. I understand that DC gets double pay because of the two roles. With budget cuts being made, one character will have to go. Getting rid of Adam would be a nightmare now that Palmer isn't seen any more. Who's going to be our "big bad mean guy"? Zach? I don't see it...

It HAS to be Plamer. I was torn between Adam and Palmer, but James Mitchell is 89. David Canary is only 71. Palmer has had much less screen time for years and I can only imagine that his health is beginning to fail and that is why they think it is the "humane" thing to do.

Thank-you Ravenbeauty for your continued service as reading your column is always like a breath of fresh air.

I am mad however of how stupid the executives at ABC are. Are they really that blind to not know chemistry when they see it! Well, Ray and Dorian are the best couple in OLTL in like 5 years(much better than Jessica and Brody(whom I like.) Um, if they do not want to spend the money, why not get rid of like Gigi and all the others who are not good actors that nobody wants to watch!

Also, if Dorian and Viki are let go, this long time fan will no longer be watching this horrid freakshow Frons thinks is a golden egg! He has no vision, no insight, no artistic integrity, he is just a puppet trying to fix the gengre he certainly helped destroy. He knows numbers, not art!

Again, always happy to hear you, just the news is somewhat disabilitating! And it is such a nice day here is Chicago. Have a beautiful morning ravenbeauty and talk to you soon.

Fred in Chicago

Thanks so much for this. Last time you mentioned a possible (but very brief) return for Greenlee. Is there any update on this at all?

So what I get out of this is maybe David Canary is being phased out at AMC. We get Erica Slezak and Robin Strausser are being phased out at OLTL. Can't they get rid of Lola instead of her Father???
Could Forbes March be heading back to OLTL???----back for his devastated lady love??? And the pride issue-----I can only think of Evangeline. Could it be?????

Many are asking why A. Martinez was let go with so much potential ...

Really? Isn't it obvious why he couldn't catch on? The poor guy had 4 big strikes against him before he ever set foot on stage; and it takes only 3 strikes to be out!
1. David Vickers - I'm inclined to hate anyone who would dream of supplanting David!
2. Vanessa - her character made me hate everyone associated with her, she turned both Cris and Ray into wooden caricatures.
3. Ghosts of Santi past - too many similarities of a bombed story, especially when paired with Dorian.
4. Lola - I've heard rumors of matricide, but if they wanted us to like Ray, they shouldn't be dragging out that story. He is very inept as a father.

And then a reason #5, spilling over into the real world, there is a lot of public disapproval of illegal immigration and they did not handle that aspect of the story in a fair and balanced manner. The bottom line is that the only thing the character had in his favor was the actor's chemistry with Robin, and that caused Dorian to act like a goose who lied to David. So even his chemistry ruined another great love.

One of David Canery's characters is leaving as DC has been in a very bad state health wise. He is even using a cane on set and working a very reduced schedule.

I have an idea! Why not just cancel AMC now and start to show it from the beginning instead. I am not happy that so many "old folks" are getting fired; part of enjoying the show day to day was watching those GOOD actors, no matter what age they were.

Best idea I have heard in a while - cancel AMC and start back at the beginning - that's when it was at its best. Phoebe, Benny, Donna, and the gang - there was a great mixture of talented actors.

Well, Well, Well, I am not surpriesed that ABC IS GOING TO @#%^. I am increasingly disappointed that these shows are failing because of the stupidity of either the execs/writers. I will mount a campaign for people to stop watching if they continue to make these horrible choices. Involve the viewers.... Involve us... We are the ones that watch.. POLL US... I am aware that some of the vets may need to move on if their health is failing but I am not sure that is the case. At least they brought some interest with Todd and Tea. That is what soaps are supposed to be STEAMY!!! The teen scene puhleeze. They have remaked the Jessica/Will storyline with a spin except the baby survives.. Allow kids to be kids... They will be adults soon enough... I am a pleasantly surprised to see the chemistry between Bo and Nora. I hope that lasts. I am a bit uncertain of the rape storyline but I am glad to see it revisited> i just hope that they return Marty memories because prior to the return of Susan Haskell, the recast Marty was forgiving of Todd. Consistency Please guys. All three soaps could benefit with some diversity. We live in a diverse world. Please guys... Or don't listen to the fans and risk CANCELLATION!!!!

it's too bad that the soaps have gotten unrecognizable. I mean, naturally, actors get older and they can't be on a show forver. But ABC has gotten rid of loved acts who still had some years left in them, in place of uninteresting new, younger ones. And when I saw that Cady McClain was back to ATWT, I was kinda glad, becaue that meant I wouldn't have to endure what these days is trying to pass itself off as AMC.

I dont like Big surprises involving Jason!!! I like where everything is now. Liz and Lucky together and Jason and Sam getting along even if they arent a couple... (yet, still crossing my fingers) unless the surprise is sam and jason get drunk and sam magically becomes pregnant then they should leave my jason alone! haha :)

Okay, so I think I have this figured out. I think that Stuart is going to get shot instead of Adam. I am sure that David Canary gets paid twice as much for playing two roles. Stuart is a very loved character and so many people will be sad. Also, I remember how you said "life imitates art" and we all know that Stuart is an artist. While I would be sad to see Stuart go, I don't think I could deal with David Canary leaving all together.

Thanks Raven~ I thought I would check out the spoilers for AMC and GH... I am still enjoying GH but AMC is another story been there and done now. I watch a few eps here and there but it is no longer what it was and it is sooooo hard to watch now! CP has destroyed a once great soap! When he leaves I will come back full-time! Thanks again Raven for all that you have done for us!!

Thank you Raven for all of the hard work & once again an awesome column! YOU ROCK! xxoxoxo

OLTL: no vicki, no dorian = no me!
now onto that "devastated lady love" the only person I can think of is Jessica. PLEASE let it be Forbes March that is returning. I loved Nash - just wish tiic had been smart enough to recognize his talent & write for the character. I'm crossing my fingers, wishing on a star & whatever else I can think of that may help with the return of Forbes.

GH - big surprise with Jason? What could it be? unless it's reuniting w/ Sam - or maybe hiding Brenda in the closet. I love my Jason & I am happy to spend an hour watching Jason do anything!Give me Jason in a love scene & I may have to get a towel to stop my drooling!~
