Geesh, we’re like deprived kids getting thrown some candy! Watching Friday’s show was great–most of the cast together and smiling. Funny stuff happening. See, is that SO HARD? If GH would just do this more often…and I don’t mean just the singing part–put people together, it might have a dang shot. Plus, Diane and Max are back! Why do they let characters just fade into the background? Love Lucky and Ethan at the same table…glowering at each other. Even the PPCD was interesting.
Robin Strasser update: She was asked by FRONS (head of ABC Daytime) to “postpone” her decision until he’s back from vacation in eight days. Uh…ok. You think he’s robbing a Swiss Bank or trying to win the lotto to pay for stuff? Heh. She was asked to take something like a 60% pay cut. RS is also VERY vocal about daytime on her radio show. The plot thickens, my friends.
Did you know that Nancy Lee Grahn’s event this July 18th at the Fan Weekend is for food banks?
Who: Nancy Lee Grahn (Alexis, GH)
What: Nancy Lee Grahn’s “Food For Thought” Fan Club Weekend Event 2009
Where: Beverly Garland’s Holiday Inn in North Hollywood, CA
When: Saturday, July 18 from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m.
How: Tickets are $70. For more information, visit www.nancyleegrahn.com.
More Info: “We’re calling this year’s event ‘food for thought’ because we’re raising funds for America’s food banks, which are struggling right because of the economy,” says Grahn. “The best part will be special appearances by Mo Gaffney and members of Amy Poehler and Matt Walsh’s ‘Upright Citizens Brigrade’ We are currently in developement on a fantastic project together. Can’t wait to tell everyone about it.”
I saw FISH (Scott Evans) in “Shopaholic” last night. Loved the book..thought the movie was so-so. Got me thinking though..would a storyline involving Maxie being a shopaholic have been great? Or at least her going into debt. Come on, she can’t make that much at the non-existant “Crimson”.
Please remember that 20% of ad revenue is going to Rick Springfield’s Birthday Charity fund! (details on Wubs Net) Thanks so much.
Have a good Saturday!
Take this little poll for the heck of it:
I so hate that it looks like ABC is trying to screw Robin Strasser. I had hoped her big announcement might be that she is taking a break from OLTL to come to GH and be Claudia’s mother Dominica for a bit or that maybe she was going to Keyna with TG, KeMo, and Lucci. Erika Slezak (Viki) is also in the middle of contract negotiations as well. Her contract is up in September and she usually goes on vacation in August for a month (this is straight from the new SID). It’s interesting how we’ve been praising OLTL for honoring their rich history and weaving such a great story and now this comes out… sigh… it’s going to be a long summer…
With everything that is going on with the economy and the bad shape that Soaps are in in general, the higher paid actors have to expect that if they want to keep their jobs, they are going to have to take paycuts. DOOL apparently is just firing their highest paid actors outright to save money. A 60% pay cut does seem a bit extreme however. It’s a sad sign of the times though and I think a lot of actors had better expect this if their contracts are coming up.
Lori – Look who told RS to wait for awhile because he had her back on her contract negotiations. The Soap Destroyer himself……..Brian Frons. Now, he’s got his paws all over OLTL, this is NOT GOOD NEWS for ABC soaps. Great Gobs of Grossness!!!
Karen you missed a great concert last night…..Rick Springfield performed at one of our local Indian Casinos here in Oklahoma.
