Hey Gang,



Something has gone awry with all the threads here, so I am reposting all of my recent columns again while Voy.Com tries to figure out what may have happened, and hopefully fix the error. It may take a while. Sorry that all of your original replies are gone, but hopefully everything will be restored shortly. I am putting out a copy for the people who may still want to access the older columns as well.

It's that time again, so pull up a chair, get comfy, and away we go. As Facebook fans know, I have been giving you a few teasers here and there, but I need to pull back a bit. I say this because I won't have a column left to write if I give everything away at Facebook. Please keep this in mind as you torpedo questions my way! I love you guys, but I am beginning to feel like a Ouija Board! I'm already possessed! No need to complicate matters!

I have to say something in regards to Bree Williamson this past week. In a word....amazing! I was astounded that she never received an award for her scenes at Nash's funeral. I thought that was one of the biggest oversight's I had ever witnessed in this genre. Not only is she strikingly beautiful, but she has the acting chops of some of the best talent out there. Bree is an incredibly gifted actress. Melissa Archer was also magnificent, and one of my all time favorites as many of you know. One Life To Live is on fire. The show has made quite the comeback. ABC is invested in its future for a reason.

Speaking of ABC, look for some massive shake-ups behind the scenes (and I am not referring to the performers). Two big ones. One is obvious. One is not. Both will leave the actors and fans reeling. AMC is still the little engine that could. Things look bleaker and bleaker. A few last minute bandages on its way, but can it stop the bleeding? Only time will tell. The odds are not good. I'm sorry AMC fans. I truly am.

For the uninitiated, rewrites and changes are an everyday occurrence in this genre. Things are scrapped all the time. I can be told something today, and a meeting behind closed doors tomorrow could change all of that. This goes without saying for any of us that provide you with scoops and spoilers. We have no control over any of this. What is being written today will not appear on your screens for approximately three months. A lot can change in that time. Viewer response is also a big part of the equation. If something is not working, they will scrap it, and take things in a completely different direction. It is not about being right or wrong. It's just the way things are.

In that vein, I want to address the Roger Howarth situation here and now. I don't believe for a minute that this is a hoax in any way. I want to make that very clear. I say this because a very reputable site (Soap Opera Network) is still standing by what their source originally told them about Roger returning back in August, and my source is not backing down either. My source is the same one that told me that Rebecca Herbst was out upon my return (that and many other casting exclusives that have indeed come to pass). I also know my source well, and they are good people. Not the type of person to just throw something like this out there for nothing (especially knowing what I have been through before with this particular scoop). Where there is smoke, there is fire (this one's burning brightly, and refuses to be extinguished this time). Here is what I do know. They have indeed been in talks. That much is not debatable despite any denials we may get. When an actor is in talks with a show, that is not a hoax. Those are real negotiations. How those negotiations end, are completely out of our hands now. They don't give us daily reports. I was also told that a younger OLTL actress apparently let it slip that Roger was returning as well, and has since removed the information. That would be quite the conspiracy don't you think? Unless things go horribly wrong, I expect to see Roger back at OLTL once again (three times is a charm). I have been given no time line whatsoever on this....none. If that changes, you will be the first to know. I promise (and of course if negotiations fall through again, I will be just as bummed trust me). Bummed and utterly frustrated!

I'm editing this because I have come down with a really lovely case of the flu. Fevers, chills, and coughing galore (talk about wanting to pull your hair out). If I am not as active at Facebook right now, please don't take it personally if you have left me a comment or asked a question. I feel like death warmed over here today. It's a good thing I wrote most of this yesterday! No copy and paste section this week. Not feeling much like sitting at the computer right now (and I just love spending $100.00 in cold and flu remedies). That will teach me for thinking I dodged the flu bullet this year!

OK guys, freshen up that latte, put down the violins, and get ready for some good old-fashioned soap. Here is what I have for you this week.....

Ravenbeauty's OLTL Dish!

Before I took that much needed break, I created 6.5 on the Richter scale by hinting that Roger Howarth was returning, with a leading man's exit causing rioting in the streets. Fans were upset because they knew exactly what I was referring to. Things stalled, and here we are almost two years later with the inevitable finally upon us. That is what I meant when I stated that the rioting was merely delayed. If everything goes as planned, Trevor St. John will be exiting with Roger Howarth returning to the fold. I'm sorry to long time fans of Trevor St John's. A few things to consider as nothing in daytime is ever etched in stone.

I've seen negotiations come down to the wire. Let us not forget when I told you that Melissa Archer was out many years back. Daytime agent Michael Bruno confirmed this as well. She was as gone as one can be considering the fact that the show had already held two rounds of auditions to recast for the role of Natalie! She was out! They came to terms in the 11th hour in the midst of auditions no less! They may have an ace up their sleeves on this one. In fact, my source told me today that things are not what they appear to be. Don't count Trevor out just yet. The 11th hour has yet to come. Some feathers are ruffled, and with it, a heavy dose of angst is in the air. Let's wait for official confirmation on this. It's going to be a very bumpy ride.

That angst may cross over for two vets who may leave together hand in hand. The show is thinking of taking things in a familiar direction (think Asa and Renee). As promised, Aubrey is the new Babe. She's here to stay. She didn't mean for any of this to happen. She never intended to fall in love with her mark. Cutter is a scorned man who falls for another Llanview lovely. Love changes Llanview's latest scoundrel (that and ties to Llanview that will come as a surprise to the young con artist). Cutter is the new David (not that Tuc could ever be replaced).

Vimal is up to his eyeballs in quite the mess. You see poor Vimal doesn't realize that he made two mistakes. Things are definitely not, what they will appear to be. They want to milk this story for all it's worth. That's what Clint gets for hiring a sweet and bumbling boy scout to do his dirty work. Clint will be put through the ringer before the whole truth comes out. Brody will be left in complete devastation, and a very unlikely woman from Clint's past is there to comfort him again. Natalie's child is not Brody's.

John is in for quite the shock (could this bring Natalie and John back together again)? This one will twist and turn before anyone finds a rainbow again. Just as I warned you in my first column back, Tess is back, and with her a Nash hopeful. The show is hoping to strike gold again with Tess and Ford. Everything that happens from this day forward is going to be based on viewer response. Watch carefully. The show is doing the same. Once their arcs are complete and their stories wrap, three will wave goodbye to Llanview. A recast may be underway for a key role from the younger set (the character in question is not currently onscreen).

Ravenbeauty's GH Dish!

Cuts are coming, and the mood is not good. Major changes at the top, and casting changes to follow. I warned you that another side to Liz was on its way. Brace yourselves because it's going to get ugly. Its payback time and Sam is just the beginning. Liz shows us that her head can spin just as much as Carly's (and with better special effects). That prince will likely exit, and his princess may or may not be with him (jury is still out on this one).

Suzanne is not what she appears to be, and she knows exactly where the baby is. Carly makes a great fall guy (at least the Balkan and his merry men and women think so). The baby's real father is going to be a twister (may have been rewritten). Jason will have to be the one to find Brenda when things are not what they appear to be (Vanessa Marcil is still not renewing, and will be leaving as I told you she would be). By the way, if nothing has been rewritten on this, Dante and Brenda never even slept together. Lulu won't be happy with yet another secret when news of the baby comes out.

Johnny sees Claudia when he looks at Lisa. The show is back and forth on Johnny right now. He was due to be cut, but now they are "curious" again. They want to see if fans are just as curious. Personally speaking, I think it would be rather foolish to get rid of someone with this level of potential. Brandon chews up the scenery. I never tire of him or his portrayal of the conscious stricken mob prince. Make the right decision ABC. He's a keeper! I can see him inheriting the "Sonny" throne one day. He's got the chops. Give him time.

Kristina can't get Ethan off her mind. Molly is not the child that dies. Franco has gone too far this time. Jason shows us a fire that fans have not seen in quite some time. Carly's thunder is taken away, but she is far from over. Hell hath no fury as they say. This spoiler queen will not be thrilled to see Olivia go. I've been bracing myself for a while on this. Recurring is an insult at best (recurring will be he name of the game at GH for some time to come)! OK guys, that's it for now. I'm back to my hot tea with lemon, and you have a lot to think about. Hope everyone has a fabulous evening! XOXO!

It took me a minute to find this older column, but OMG! Massive shake up behind the scenes that we won't see coming! That's putting it mildly! Guza is said to be out! Girl you've got it going on since you got back! Lady luck is on your side (and I like that you clarified that this did not involve any of the actors)!! You were spot on! You rock! Did I mention that you rock!!!

I see they quickly retracted it from SOD. I'm not buying it. Something is up here. I think they were told to pull it. I have a feeling the announcement will be made on Guza in a few months. Somebody obviously got into hot water.

Thanks so much for the spoiler updates, Raven, Your the best!! I hope your feeling better soon. I agree with you 100% about Brandon Barash. He is an awesome actor and a really great guy in person. We so need a "Keep Johnny Z. on G.H." Petition. One of my favorite scenes of his was when he confronted his father in prison. Totally blew me away. I hope T.P.T.B. do the right thing and keep Johnny on G.H. for a long time to come. We can only hope.
