How Patrika Darbo Kept Her B&B Role A Secret

April 15, 2017 8:35AM

It took Patrika Darbo (Shirley, B&B; ex-Nancy, DAYS) two decades to land a role on B&B, and she is so thankful to be a part of the cast. In the new issue, the actress reveals how the news of her joining a new soap nearly got out. “I remember walking into DAYS in January and someone said, ‘I hear you’re going over to another show.’ I was panic-stricken,” she recalls. “This was at 6:15 in the morning and I was like, ‘I don’t know how you found out but you can’t say anything to anyone!’ There I was, waking my agent up at 6:30 going, ‘I didn’t say anything but the cat is out of the bag.’ It just created chaos. Luckily, it didn’t get out but we were walking on eggshells. It was terrifying.” For more from Darbo, who talks aboutthe long road to B&B and more, check out the new issue of Soap Opera Digest, on sale now.

Soap Vet On Fatherhood

April 14, 2017 4:43PM

In the new issue of Digest, on sale now, soap vet Ricky Paull Goldin (ex-Dean, ANOTHER WORLD et al), who is expecting a second son in June with Gretta Monahan, opens up about his greatest role yet: fatherhood. “It’s taught me so much,” he reflects. “I think it’s the best thing that can happen to a performer. I think it’s the best thing that can happen to any human being because it teaches you not to be so self-involved, narcissistic and self-centered. Even if you want to be those things or you are those things, you just can’t be all the time because they take your time and your attention. They need your love and your guidance, and they need you. It’s so clichéd to say you don’t know love until you have a child to love. I mean, it’s true.” For more from the actor, get your copy of Digest now!

Interview!

Soap Newcomer - Tristan Lake Leabu

April 12, 2017 10:01AM

How was your character described to you?

“That Reed is a teenage boy who is having some trouble fitting in at his mom’s house after being away for so long and they would kind of butt heads. It also said in the character description that he played music.”

Is this what most attracted you to the role?

“Yes! When I read that, I got amped up to audition. I brought a guitar and played a little bit, which wasn’t requested, but the character description said he relieved his tension through music.”

Who did you screen-test with?

“I actually didn’t have a screen test, but on the callback, Amelia [Heinle, Victoria] and Jason [Thompson, Billy], read scenes that Reed would be in, so it was still the audition format. Those guys were wonderful and it felt great reading with them.”

How did you find out that you landed the role?

“My manager called me and said, ‘They’d love for you to play this character, do you want to do it?’ And I said, ‘Of course, that’d be amazing!’ She said, ‘Right now, it’s 6 p.m. and you’re filming three episodes tomorrow, and they need you there at 5 in the morning, so here are 18 pages, and be ready.’ So, I went home, buckled down and learned my lines.”

How was your first day?

“It was a pretty hectic day, but once I got on set it went really smoothly and we breezed through it, and it’s been a joy ever since.”

Have you gotten any fan reaction yet in person?

“I didn’t know one of my best friends watches B&B and Y&R all the time. He saw me on Y&R and freaked out. He was so excited! It was really funny.”

Interview!

Soap Newcomer - Abhi Sinha

April 11, 2017 4:10PM

What do you remember about your first audition?

“When I walked in and saw everyone else who was auditioning, I remember thinking, ‘This is the most Indian men I’ve ever seen in one place in Los Angeles.’ ”

Did you screen-test with anyone?

“Believe it or not, no one, because they ended up hiring me from a tape of my audition. I was shocked I didn’t have to go to a screen test or callback.”

How did you celebrate?

“After I called my parents with the news, I just started thinking of things I could do for the character, so there was less celebration and more preparation.”

Have you watched soaps before?

“I actually grew up with DAYS OF OUR LIVES and GENERAL HOSPITAL on in our house, so it’s been interesting watching the dynamics between the characters of this particular show.”

What was your first day like?

“I was a little scared because every single person asked me, ‘Are you ready? Do you know your lines because it goes quick?’ I was thrown off a little, but once I got through the first day, I realized I actually enjoyed this format and the pace.”
Are the glasses yours or Ravi’s? “Ravi’s. They’re not prescription but my eyes are legitimately awful, so I’m wearing contacts behind those fake glasses.”

What’s been your most challenging scene?

“A month in, I had a very big monologue of Ravi talking about his childhood. That was definitely a challenge but fun as well to reveal a part of the character.”

--From Soapsindepth.com

Spectra’s latest fashion show may have seemed like a smash hit at first, but now that the truth is out, everything is on the verge of exploding in these spoilers from THE BOLD & THE BEAUTIFUL!

Persuaded by R.J. to support Sally by attending Spectra’s presentation, Thomas was horrified when he saw the designs and realized they were all stolen from Forrester! Furious, he confronts the girl he thought he loved. “You betrayed my family!” he angrily accuses Sally. “That’s our entire collection on your runway.” Knowing that Thomas is right, Sally can’t even bring herself to say anything in her defense. “I swore up and down that you were a good person,” Thomas complains. With her voice breaking, Sally tearfully admits, “I tried to be.” Is this the end for their budding romance?

Meanwhile, out on the show floor, Jarrett is a seasoned enough fashion reporter to know that there’s something up with Spectra’s newest line. “I have some questions about this remarkable collection,” he says to Saul, “and the new direction Spectra’s taking.” Can Saul come up with a good enough excuse as to why these designs look nothing like the first ones Sally displayed?

Coco is furious to see all of Forrester’s latest designs on Spectra’s runway and worries what R.J. will think of her family stealing their designs. “I didn’t have anything to do with this!” she insists. Shirley agrees, warning the girl, “And you keep saying that, honey. To anyone who asks!”

Victor may have met his match in these spoilers from THE YOUNG & THE RESTLESS!

Nikki, Victoria, and Nick all know the awful truth that Victor conspired with Chloe to frame Adam for murder, but the rest of the Newmans are blissfully in the dark. However, that hasn’t stopped Victor from trying to manipulate some of his family members into being on his side even if they aren't aware there are sides to be taken. But knowing her husband all too well, Nikki sees right through his devious actions and has had quite enough of it. “Oh go to hell, you lying son of a bitch,” she spits at him. How will Victor respond to her venom?

Reed was over the moon when his grandfather bought him a car for his birthday, but Victoria is convinced that Victor is just trying to manipulate her side of the family and keep her quiet so she doesn’t spill the beans about his involvement with Chloe. “it kills me to do this,” she reluctantly warns her son, “and I’m really sorry, Reed, but you can’t keep the car.” Is she making the right call?

Ashely traveled to New York for the conference with Ravi, but it looks like she’s going to be spending the evening with someone else! “Oh, we should definitely talk,” she assures Benjamin. The businessman pours on the charm, smiling and suggesting, “Yeah. Over dinner, maybe tonight at the new restaurant here?” How will Ravi feel about being thrown aside for another man?

Kids grow up so fast these days! At least on daytime soaps, they do! THE YOUNG & THE RESTLESS has announced that Lily and Cane’s twins are being recast and aged into teenagers! Beginning on Wednesday, May 24, Mattie will be played by Lexie Stevenson and Charlie will be played by Noah Alexander Gerry.

They will be replacing McKenna Roberts as Mattie and Brandin Stennis as Charlie, who only took over the role from Aidan Alexander on Dec. 22, 2016.

The twins were born via surrogate when Mac agreed to carry a child for her friend, Lily, who was suffering from ovarian cancer and had to have a hysterectomy. However, Mac only gave birth in 2010 so the kids should only be in kindergarten. But now it looks like Lily and Cane are going to have to deal with teenager problems on Y&R!

Gerry has appeared in an episode of the Disney Channel series A.N.T. FARM, and Stevenson has no credits at all on her IMDb page. But she posted a video on Instagram to share her excitement at her big break. “I know it’s crazy and unbelievable, and I’m still trying to process it in my mind,” she confessed. “I was very fortunate to be able to come home this week before I really got into filming so I could share this very special time in my life with my family.

Soap fans will be able to watch the 2017 Daytime Emmy Awards live on Sunday, April 30, although sadly not on television. The National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences has announced that this year’s ceremony will be live-streamed on both Facebook Live and Twitter-Periscope Producer beginning at 8 p.m. ET.

“The National Academy is thrilled to be streaming this year’s Daytime Emmy Awards to all our fans,” said David Michaels, SVP, Daytime. “With Mario Lopez and Sheryl Underwood as our hosts and so many wonderful presenters, it’s going to be a great evening for daytime!”

Among the star-studded list of presenters for the evening are THE BOLD & THE BEAUTIFUL’s Katherine Kelly Lang (Brooke) and John McCook (Eric), DAYS OF OUR LIVES’ Billy Flynn (Chad) and Marci Miller (Abigail), GENERAL HOSPITAL’s Kelly Monaco (Sam) and Dominic Zamprogna (Dante), and THE YOUNG & THE RESTLESS’ Bryton James (Devon) and Mishael Morgan (Hilary).

There will also be appearances by B&B’s Karla Mosley (Maya), Reign Edwards (Nicole), and Jacob Young (Rick), GH’s Sonya Eddy (Epiphany) and Robert Palmer Watkins (Dillon), DAYS’ Nadia Bjorlin (Chloe) and Eric Martsolf (Brady), and Y&R’s Tristan Lake Leabu (Reed). And look for a special musical performance by Y&R alum Max Ehrich (ex-Fen)!

The last time the Daytime Emmys were televised was when cable network Pop aired the 2015 ceremony, following an ill-fated attempt to webcast the show in 2014. Last year’s Emmys were not aired or streamed at all but were released shortly afterward for viewing online. But on Sunday night, soap fans will be able to watch the entire show live by visiting the official Daytime Emmy Awards Facebook page or their Twitter page.

 

As we near the Sunday, April 30, airing of the 44th Annual Daytime Emmy Awards, The National Academy of Arts and Sciences has been releasing the official reels that the actors submitted in order to earn their nominations… and hopefully the win!

Below you can take a look at the scenes submitted by Outstanding Supporting Actress nominees Stacy Haiduk (ex-Patty, THE YOUNG & THE RESTLESS), Anna Maria Horsford (Vivienne, THE BOLD & THE BEAUTIFUL), Finola Hughes (Anna, GENERAL HOSPITAL), Kate Mansi (Abigail, DAYS OFOUR LIVES), and Kelly Sullivan (ex-Sage, Y&R).

Stacy Haiduk (ex-Patty, Y&R)

Although Haiduk wasn’t on full-time during 2016, the episodes she was in showcased her incredible talent. Her reel begins with Patty’s return to Genoa City where she breaks down as Paul forces her to face her crimes and return to the hospital. It continues as Patty struggles with her hospitalization, begging Paul to protect her, and ends with her taunting Dylan and Sharon with the truth about their child.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IiDD8nbE-xg

Anna Maria Horsford (Vivienne, B&B)

Horsford had some juicy material over the past year as Vivienne learned that her husband fathered another child. Her submission contains all the scenes from the episode where Vivienne reacted to Julius’ confession and angrily throws him out before breaking down in tears with her two daughters.

https://youtu.be/0AO5uhBkmHM

Finola Hughes (Anna, GH)

Hughes starts her reel with the comedic scene where Anna bantered with Paul at the bar while waiting for her blind date, followed by the scenes where Robin told her mother about moving away for a new job. It then segues into the scene where Anna talked Sonny out of shooting Carlos in the chapel and concluded with Anna confronting Carlos once he’s finally behind bars.

https://youtu.be/sZuwSuVVmhk

Kate Mansi (ex-Abigail, DAYS)

Mansi’s final year on DAYS gave her plenty of amazing material to choose from, starting with Abigail’s fake seduction of Ben so she could tie him up and set him ablaze only to be stopped in the nick of time by Chad. The rest of her reel showcases the scenes where an emotionally broken Abigail is forced to commit herself to a mental institution.

https://youtu.be/qVB7fPiAjRU

Kelly Sullivan (ex-Sage, Y&R)

Sullivan naturally selected part of her dramatic exit from the soap for her Emmy reel, which is made up of the scenes from the episode where Sage confronted Sharon about lying regarding Sully’s true identity and demanded she give the baby up.

https://youtu.be/Uod8C11Ugc4

Now that you’ve seen all the same scenes that the official Emmy voters have, you know what a difficult decision they have trying to pick a winner from all these talented actresses!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q19DabpMfEk

Next are the scenes where she opened up to Michael and left Sonny, and it concludes with her leaning on Jason for support.

Y&R,Tuesday April-18

Reed complains to Vicky that his new car has already been taken away - Billy defends Victoria for taking it away as Victor did not consult her before buying it. Reed continues to whine and begs Billy to talk to Victoria . He reluctantly agrees.

Nikki finds a letter from Victor saying that he has gone away for a while - Tessa arrives and thanks Nikki for inviting her to Reed's party. Nikki has invited her there to ask a favor. She has a job for her as her assistant at a charity gig - Tessa says she can use the money and Nikki sympathizes. Tessa assumed Nikki was born rich, but Nikki corrects her. She asks where she used to waitress, and Nikki says she used to dance. Tessa is shocked to learn Nikki used to be a stripper. She is really impressed - she can see that Nikki has a wild streak. Nick arrives with some boxes for Faith's things. He asks to talk to Nikki alone and Tessa goes to get some coffee. He says it's about Sharon. He mentions Faith moving back in with the two of them. She mentions Victor has gone out of town and they talk about how difficult it will be to keep the news from the family. He asks about Tessa and if she knows her that well, and goes upstairs.

Nick approaches Sharon at Crimson Lights as she is studying - he has something for her. He tells her about Faith moving back in with them and going back to their old schedule.

Abbey arrives at the ranch and greets Victor - she asks about the bruise on his face. He says it was a sparring session with Nick. She wants to talk about Chloe but Victor says he doesn't want to talk about it. He has a request for her.

She just wants to go back to the way it was before, but Cane doesn't know if he can.

Ravi and Ashley debrief over drinks in NY. Ravi speaks knowledgeably about cosmetics and Ashley is impressed. She is glad she brought him to NY. She suggests ordering some drinks but he says he has a better idea. They go to leave but Benjamin Hawkman greets Ashley, largely ignoring Ravi. He suggests they grab dinner to talk business and she agrees, ditching Ravi, albeit politely.
