Husband Number 11?

Michael Nouri has been cast in the contract role of Caleb McGraw. Described as a mountain man, the character is slated to be a love interest for Erica. Look for a first appearance on May 24th.

Jim Ross?

Apparently, the idea of Jim Ross joining TNA isn't as ludicrous as one would think. While he's said he's well enough to return to work, WWE has opted not to utilize his talent. With his contract up at the end of the month, "Good Ol' JR" has openly admitted to exploring all options. One unnecessary loss could mean another extremely lucrative gain. I know I'd dance with TNA one more time if it meant getting to hear the greatest announcer in the history of wrestling every week. We shall see...

I Take It Back...

Was just reading through some old post while tagging, and saw that I said Rent is my favorite musical. I don't know what I was smoking that day. Rent is amazing and all, but honestly pales in comparison to the raw power and evocative emotion of Evita. Nothing will ever come close. Shouldn't write certain things when I'm caught up in the moment.

All-Around Wonderful!

Yesterday was awesome. Having a holiday somewhere new was definitely a welcome change. Not in a bad way, just nice to switch around occasionally. The kids were adorable in their Easter outfits. Hearing the oldest nephew recount tells of the bunny, and the treats he left was priceless. The dinner table was absolutely beautiful, and all the food was perfect. I even ended up trying, (and kind of enjoying) some stuff I never thought I would. Of course, I couldn't write this post without mentioning Rhubarb Cheesecake. It is the most amazing dessert ever!

Watching the niece and nephews hunt for eggs in the yard was definitely the highlight of the day. Puppy Luke even joined in and found a few. Such fun! As a perfect way to end the day, my brother-in-law fixed the lift in my van. How awesome is that?! Watching Barbra when I got home, and chatting with Tim for a bit was icing on the cake. Lovely, lovely day!

New DA...

Robb Derringer has been cast as the new District Attorney. He debuts this week. I hope he's a decent actor, and the character sticks around longer than the last two DAs have.

I'll Never Forget It!

I can't believe it's been almost a week since Wrestlemania already. What an amazing weekend I had. Saturday brought the welcome surprise of going to dinner with Tim, and then coming home and watching wrestling to gear up for the big show. He mentioned a surprise for the next day, but would say no more when I questioned him. It didn't take long for him to show me the surprise early Sunday afternoon.

Does it get any better than a Wrestlemania cake, really? We decided to wait until later, after everyone had arrived, to eat it. Honestly, it was so awesome that I didn't want to cut into it.

After an awesome lunch at a great little Mexican joint, we were back watching wrestling. Rebecca joined the party shortly, and gave us the wrestling shirts she had made. We took some pictures, but unfortunately only a few came out. This is one:

Luckily, I managed to break the hold and was able to enjoy the rest of the evening. Right before Wrestlemania got underway, the three of us decided to keep track of wins and losses.

Ariel and Kyle rounded out the group. Wrestlemania was amazing. The Streak vs. The Career main event will go down as one of the greatest matches in wrestling history.

I will NEVER FORGET this amazing weekend as long as I live!

Happy Easter!

Hope everyone has a happy, safe Easter. Take the time to appreciate friends and family, and don't forget the real significance of the holiday.

Bitch-Tastic!

Just a quick one. Julia Barr as Brooke, and Susan Lucci as Erica on All My Children. How amazing are their scenes together? It's obvious they love working together. They have amazing chemistry, and the way Erica and Brooke constantly have to outdo each other on the insult scale is pure priceless gold. I'm convinced that if the show were to revolve itself around this iconic rivalry, fans wouldn't have to live in constant fear of cancellation.

Goldberg? Really?

It makes me sick to devote space to this, but I feel it's necessary. The latest rumor making rounds is that Bill Goldberg is going to be inducted into the WWE Hall Of Fame next year. With Wrestlemania 27 taking place in Atlanta, it makes perfect sense for WWE to induct some WCW stars. But Goldberg? What did he ever really do? To me, he was a classic textbook case of right place, right time. His in-ring work was absolutely atrocious. He only had three moves. He wasn't above pitching a fit if things weren't going his way. He was only in the business for a cup of coffee. I'm sorry, it makes absolutely no sense. There's no reason. Truly deserving people, like the rest of The Four Horseman, get my vote. If this actually comes to pass, the integrity of the Hall Of Fame will be irreparablly damaged for me.

Bullshit!

I can't believe it's happening again. Show killer Jean Passanante is joining the writing team of One Life To Live. It isn't enough that she's partially responsible for the cancellation of As The World Turns. I just don't understand how hack writers continue getting jobs in this dying industry. Shouldn't those in charge of hiring look at track records before making decisions? If I were Ron Carlivati, I'd be extremely worried. It's blatantly obvious that ABC wants to cancel One Life To Live. Mark my words, Passanante will be headwriter before the year is out. This is totally disgusting.

On Again, Off Again...

TNA is off the DVR again! Since Hogan and company arrived on January 4th, things have gotten steadily worse. I can no longer watch the greatest wrestler in the world (AJ Styles) be made into a cheating bafoon. It literally hurts too much. Ric Flair has shit all over his unparalleled legacy by allowing himself to become a ridiculous sideshow comedy act. Wrestlers way past their prime, and unable to contribute anything meaningful to the company (read Hall, Nash, and Waltman), dominate programming. Matches are afterthoughts in favor of backstage vignettes and interviews. When we're lucky enough to actually see one, it's blink and miss. I refuse to continue subjecting myself to the atrocity that is TNA. A complete change in direction is the only thing that would make me even begin to consider tuning back in.

Another Recast!

Aaron Refvem is out as General Hospital's Morgan. Apparently, he's booked a pilot for NBC. Aaron Sanders will assume the role beginning April 14th. I really like Refvem, and hope he hits it big.

Mischievous!

We celebrated my brother's birthday last night. I asked for some new pictures to be taken because it's been a while since I've had any. This adorable one was snapped just as the nephew was looking for trouble in the bathroom. Love the priceless expression on his face.

Words Cannot Describe...

Quote Of The Moment...

"Laugh for me. Cry for me. Pray for me. Lie for me. Live for me. Die for me."

-Burn-Linzi Hateley

Brook Lynn Returns!

Adrienne Leon is set to reprise her General Hospital role as Brook Lynn. As of now, the return is recurring. Brook Lynn was before my time, but I know the actress is extremely popular, and supposedly very good. Should be interesting to watch.

Amazing Ainsworth!

The honors this time around go to Lexi Ainsworth as Kristina on General Hospital. The scenes where Kristina is laying in the hospital bed begging Kiefer for answers as to why he beat her were absolutely phenomenal. It's great to see such a young actress so polished and committed. Lexi knew exactly when and how to play certain moments. I also very much admire the fact that she kept everything grounded and believable. In an intensely emotional scene like this one, it would have been very easy to go over the top and fall into scenery chewing. She didn't.

Quick shout-out to the makeup department for doing such a great job with the cuts and bruises.

Waterworks were great as well. Bravo, Ms. Ainsworth for a wonderful performance.

Shock!

This little piece of casting news came as of bit of a shock when I read it yesterday afternoon. General Hospital has recast the role of Michael. Fan favorite Drew Garrett will be replaced by Chad Duell. While no reason for the switch-a-roo has been given yet, I have a feeling something shady went down. I can't imagine GH would make such a seemingly drastic move without cause.

Gorgeous Day!

Seriously, how amazing is the weather today? 62, sunny, and perfect. Groceries got done, cool visit with Kyle, and good music. Listening to Barbra while buzzing around outside is one of my absolute favorite ways to spend a day.

Photographer Cast...

Former Days Of Our Lives and The Bold And The Beautiful star Victor Alfieri has joined the cast of All My Children. While not much is known about the character at this time, we do know that he'll be a fashion photographer involved with Fusion. I would assume, (though maybe I shouldn't), that the role is a significant one. Look for a debut in April.

War Of The Wire: September 29, 2003

 I didn't know much about Ring Of Honor when I got tickets to a show in Framingham, but an AJ Styles vs. Samoa Joe main event was just too amazing to miss. Okay, truth time. I don't remember much about the matches themselves, but I'll never forget what happened at intermission and after everyone had left. At the start of intermission, my brother-in-law told me that AJ Styles was standing behind me talking to some people. I didn't believe him, but saw it was true when I turned around to take a look. I absolutely couldn't believe that my hero was standing that close. After some insistence, I made my way up to say hello. I remember that Paul had to introduce me, because I couldn't speak and was staring at AJ like a fool. I eventually managed to put a couple of coherent sentences together, he thanked me for my support and admiration, told me (in a sweet way) that I was silly for crying, and took the time to take a picture with me.

If that had been where the night ended, it still would have been amazing beyond words. Fortunately, there were more surprises in store for unsuspecting me. While the next part is a bit fuzzy, I think I remember having a brief conversation with the ring announcer earlier in the evening.. As Paul and I were making our way out with the rest of the crowd when everything ended, he stopped us and told us to come with him. I was completely dumbfounded and speechless when I realized he was leading us backstage. Couldn't believe I was getting to associate with people that are my equivalent of superheroes. I was fortunate enough to meet, and have small conversations with The SATs, Alexis Laree, (before she became Mickie James in WWE), April Hunter, and CM Punk. Oh, yeah, I said hello to Christopher Daniels in passing and was greeted with a "fuck you." Just incredible!

On the way out the door after all the excitement, I heard a booming voice from behind me.

"You're going to leave without taking a picture with the champ?"

I turned around to see Samoa Joe approaching me. Again, I was stunned beyond words that the champion would take time to acknowledge me. I can't even tell you what my response was because the shock I was in was making it extremely difficult to think clearly. I eventually composed myself and we took a picture.

An amazing, incredible, awe-inspiring night I will never forget!

Rockin' The Do!

The Hawk Of Mo is back! It's been a long time, but I think this is the perfect look for the warm weather. Lovin' it!

Bummer!

The Ring Of Honor show, that I'm attending with Tim and Rebecca, has been rescheduled! This sucks! Thank God I just happened to be on the website and looked. From April 9th to September 10th! Very disappointing. At least it wasn't canceled all together. Anticipation will make it even better.

Wonderful!

What a wonderful weekend I had! Friday started perfectly with a pancake breakfast with Tim and Rebecca at IHOP. Can't believe I'd never been before! After breakfast, we browsed around Newbery comics for a bit, and I picked up Edge: A Decade Of Decadence. When we got home, Smackdown was on tap, and actually pretty enjoyable. I had a little bit of time to myself before Sara and Chad came to watch a movie and eat pizza. Pretty perfect day.

Saturday I attended a beautiful wedding. Bride looked absolutely stunning, and everything was perfect. Between the ceremony and reception, I went to see Alice In Wonderland with my sister and brother-in-law. The movie wasn't so hot, but we definitely had fun anyway. Went to the reception for a while after I came home. Am so happy everything turned out well..

Went to the farm yesterday and spent some quality time with the family. Came home, listened to music, spent some time with Sandra, had my Sunday chat with my best friend, and fell asleep while listening to podcasts. Awesome, amazing, incredible weekend!

Regiel To Y & R... Bianca Recast!

I think that's the most shocking headline I've ever had to write. Earlier this week, rumblings that had superstar Eden Regiel joining a CBS sudster were confirmed. She will join best friend Elizabeth Hendrickson on The Young And The Restless as a Heather Stevens recast. As I don't watch Y & R, I won't comment any further.

For those scratching their heads wondering why Eden won't be returning to All My Children in her iconic, Emmy-winning role, apparently it all comes down to story. When AMC and ABC heard that Regiel was in negotiation to join the highest-rated rival soap, they immediately offered her a contract. When she inquired about story ideas for Bianca, there was no solid response. Not wanting to return just to be relegated to obscurity, Eden jumped ship.

Less than a day after confirmation of all this comes word that AMC/ABC is planning to recast Bianca. Read above and deduce what you may, but it seems to me as though this is being done completely out of spite. There's absolutely no need for Bianca to return home at the moment. TPTB have to know that whoever they find to assume the role is going to be met with a great amount (no matter how unfair to the actress) of anger and upset.

I just can't wrap my head around any of this. The soap part of my world has turned completely upside down. Utter chaos!

Revival!

Forgive me if I ramble a bit. Can hardly contain my excitement! Evita is finally set for a Broadway revival next year. According to several sources, Elana Roger, who previously portrayed Eva to much acclaim in London in 2006, will tackle the title role again. While casting for other roles is ongoing, Ricky Martin is said to have been approached by producers to play Che. What an absolute travesty that would be! Hope it's not true!

I promised myself that if Evita were to ever return to The Great White Way, I would be there no matter what. I can't believe this is actually happening! What a dream come true! My first trip to New York will be to see my all-time favorite show! Don't wake me if I'm dreaming!

Fleetwood Mac-The Dance

Before I get to the meat and potatoes of the review, I have to thank my friend, Joe. He introduced me to Fleetwood Mac eleven years ago, and this concert still holds a special place in my heart because it always reminds me of him.

Now, the good stuff. For long-time fans, the group finally reuniting must have been an amazing thrill. For me, who was completely unfamiliar with them before this viewing, I couldn't have asked for a better introduction. All members of this legendary incarnation are here, and in amazing voice. Song selection, with two glaring exceptions, (I'm So Afraid, and Tusk), is strong and well suited. The performance of Silver Springs found on this DVD is my favorite song of all-time. You're sure to tear up, if not buckle under the weight of a full-on cry, just by witnessing the raw emotion and power.

While there are no extras to speak of, the double-sided DVD does offer two audio options. First side, a very well put together 5.1 Surround. Second side, standard stereo. Picture quality is clear, and expected for a DVD of this age. The music is all that matters in this case though.

While I'm biased because of all the memories and emotions I associate with it, The Dance is amazing! There is an abbreviated CD, but I advise you to pick up this complete offering, and get lost in it.

Cover!

Official cover for the upcoming Village Vanguard DVD. What do you think? Simple and elegant. I like it for sure. Matt, over at Barbra Archives, says to expect a Blu-ray release as well. So so so excited!

Winners!

Congratulations to Debbi Morgan and Cornelius Smith, Jr. for winning NAACP Image Awards this weekend. Good work!

Meow...

Have to thank my sister for this one. She always keeps her eyes open for anything Siamese cat related for me. It's just too cute.

I Hear Voices... In My Display Cabinet!

I'm not a huge Orton mark anymore, but couldn't resist picking this up. Feel bad for the other figures though. With that microphone in his hand, looks like they'll have to endure a monotone promo.

Old School!

These are just awesome. Tim gave them to me, and they occupy a place of honor on my TV stand. Love them!

Barbra Barbie

Going to get teased for posting this, but I don't care. There's no one better then Ms. Barbra Streisand. I just wish Mattel had created a more accurate likeness.

The Original DIVA!

Wow! What can you say? Just stunning! No one will ever compare to Sunny! She needs to come back to WWE and show these poor imitations how it's done!

May 4th!

The Village Vanguard concert, from September of last year, will be released in its entirety on DVD on May 4th. I can't wait for this DVD!

Elimination Chamber

Kudos to WWE for allowing the Elimination Chamber matches to take up the majority of the show. I always appreciate longer matches that build to worthy ends. John Cena winning on the Raw side of things was entirely unexpected and unwonted. Just don't understand why he is continually shoved at us. He's been to the top of the mountain enough times. Would have been nice to see Kofi Kingston get a shot. Wait. Now that I think about it, Cena isn't champion. In a swerve at the end of the match, Vince comes out and orders him to defend his newly-won gold against Batista. John, who had just wrestled for over forty minutes, was no match for The Animal. While the match was amazing, I was disgusted with the outcome in both cases. I just can't... or more accurately don't want to see Big Dave headline Wrestlemania. I hope there's another surprise coming to turn it all around.

The Smackdown Elimination Chamber went pretty much the way I thought it would. Got to hand it to Tim though. He said that we would see Shawn Michaels at some point in the night, and he was absolutely right. I really like the way it all went down. Michaels costing Undertaker the championship was the perfect catalyst for a Mania rematch. I felt bad for Tim, having to sit through a Taker loss and all, but can't wait to see what is sure to be an instant classic.

There were other matches on the show, but nothing really worth spending time writing about. The Chamber matches were amazing! Good, solid show.

Awesomeness!

What a great night! Tim surprised me, and we ended up going out to eat at a cafe down the street. I had never been. The food was excellent! We brought dessert home so we could have something to munch during the pay-per-view. It's things like quality time with amazing people that make you realize how incredible life can be. Plain and simple. The most fun I've had in a long time!

Skye Returning... :(

Robin Christopher is set to return to General Hospital as Skye. I put a sad face in the title of this post because I was hoping she'd give Pine Valley another shot. First airdate, and length of stay are unconfirmed.

Canary Releases Statement...

"My career on All My Children has given me more than words could ever convey, both professionally and personally. I have cherished each and every moment. I would like to thank all the fans who have tuned in throughout the years. Their love and support has meant the world to me. I truly feel that I will leave the show in great hands. The viewers will be happy with how Adam departs the canvas and I know that leaving JR (Jacob Young) as head of the Chandler household will continue to provide the show with many great stories to come. This is not the last you've seen of Adam Chandler. I will be back to check up on the Chandler Clan"

That is an official statement from David Canary regarding his retirement. Rumor has soon-to-be-returning Brooke ushering Adam off canvas in late April or early May.

Too Soon!

TNA Impact moves to Monday nights starting March 8th. Am I the only one who doesn't understand? Even before all the Hogan hoopla, ratings growth was strong and steady on Thursdays. Yes, I understand. Monday is traditionally wrestling night. Here's my question. Why tinker with a formula that's working well? Hogan and others are proving to draw. Why move to a night dominated by the competition and splinter the audience? If Impact were pulling in a 2.0 or higher, and could weather a bit of a ratings dip, I'd be all for the move. I honestly don't think the company is stable enough to go head to head yet. If TNA and Spike absolutely insist on walking this road, why not go 8-10? That way, there entire first hour is unopposed, and can be used to build interest in the remaining portion of the program. I see nothing but negative coming from direct competition.

Sure, there was quite a long stretch of time where WCW overtook WWE in The Monday Night War. Look how that eventually turned out. With most of the people responsible for the demise of WCW running around backstage at TNA with their chests puffed out, it seems as though destiny is doomed to repeat itself. Who knows, maybe we'll all be pleasantly surprised. Maybe both companies will benefit. Maybe wrestling will see another boom in popularity. I'm just very skeptical.

I Hate Hospitals!

Had a little bit of a scare Sunday night. There's something of a flu or virus going around, and I caught a serious dose. I'm amazed at how quickly dehydration sets in. Always be careful to drink plenty of liquid. It's very frightening when everything around you starts spinning. Aside from sitting in the ER for what felt like an eternity, I'm very grateful that everyone involved took such great care of me. Thank goodness everything was over in less then 24 hours. I've heard of people battling this for days, so I feel incredibly lucky. All is well!

Summer Tour?

So, apparently the recent Streisand/Vegas rumors are entirely untrue. Matt, over at Barbra Archives, made an excellent point. Barbra has said time and time again that she doesn't like singing the same songs every night. Hearing it straight from her, why in the world would she agree to a three-year nightly deal? It just doesn't make sense. The original article, and several more reputable sources since, have reported that the reason she declined the offer is to embark on a summer tour. While nothing is confirrmed of yet, said reliable sources say that the possibility of this is fairly good. If it does indeed happen, and she makes her way to the Boston area, you can bet your backside I'll be getting tickets! Will keep everyone posted!

Yet Another Newbie...

Annie Ilonzeh is coming to Port Charles as Maya Ward. She is said to eventually be romantically paired with Ethan. First appearance: March 31, 2010.

Love Him!

Just wanted to take a quick moment to say thank you to John Barrowman. Don't know if you'll ever read this, but you're amazing! Everything you do is gold. You're voice especially has brought me such joy. Could listen to you sing forever. Awesome! Awesome! Awesome!

Canary To Exit...

In a recent interview, All My Children creator Agnes Nixon confirmed that David Canary will soon depart. While I totally understand him not wanting to uproot his life, I simply can't imagine the show without Adam and Stuart. Yes, I know. Stuart has been gone for a while now. On some days though, I see Mr. Canary quickly slip from Adam to Stuart and back again, and can't help but smile. The exit of this actor and his two legendary characters will forever change Pine Valley. I'm so in denial...

Cole Checks In...

Former Guiding Light Star Bradley Cole has landed a gig on General Hospital. Cole, who will play Carlton Bauer, first hits our screens at the end of March.

New Opening!

Hooray! General Hospital is finally getting a new opening! Look for it to debut on February 23rd.

Quote Of The Moment...

"I am the love! Don't let me die away!"

-Promises-Barbra Streisand

Thank God!

I know I'm a little late, but I wanted to wait until I got the screencap. Lorraine Broderick's writing has finally started. I haven't seen a more beautiful soap-related sight then the one on the left in a long time. For those wondering why Pratt is still listed, apparently he'll continue to be until his outlined storylines stop airing. From what I hear though, every effort is being made to speed up that process. Now is certainly the time for lapsed viewers to tune back in. The change in the quality of dialogue and writing was immediately evident on February 8th. Incredible! All My Children is back!

Confessions Of An Ugly Stepsister

An adult retelling of Cinderella, Confessions Of An Ugly Stepsister is undoubtedly Gregory Maguire's best work. Cleverly presented almost entirely in flashback, everything seamlessly interweaves from the opening moment. Curveballs are thrown several times just as you're sure you have everything figured out. The ending, while I'm sure obvious to some, caught me by surprise. You'll get lost in this meticulously crafted world, and wish the ending would never come. I've read it several times. Unforgettable.

Dixie Date...

Cady and Dixie return on March 4, 2010. I'm trying to resist being excited, but think my attempts are futile. Even as shitastic as it's likely to be, I can't wait!

Quote Of The Moment...

"A friend is a single soul dwelling in two bodies."

-Aristotle

Reeves On Contract!

"Calling Dr. Stephen Webber. You've officially been put on contract at GH. Report to office for further details."

That's right. We'll be seeing a lot more of the good Doc. Hopefully his role will be expanded beyond Liz's talk to.

Hypocrisy!

Enough is enough! Why is David Pine Valley's favorite target? There are plenty of people doing underhanded things, and yet everyone has their venomous fangs pointed his way. No one in this town has the right to pass judgment!

Jesse Hubbard, the always upstanding Chief Of Police only arrests people he has personal vendettas against. Ryan admitted to breaking into Wildwind right in front of him, and nothing was done! The two of them went right on conspiring as if Ryan had said that he went to the candy store. This isn't the only time Jesse has overlooked an obvious crime. What a corrupt asshole!

Erica is so upset about the sabotaging of Fusion. She can't believe how amoral someone must be to do something so terrible. Isn't this the same woman who kidnapped Maria's baby and let her believe it was dead? Come on! Ryan is the personification of all that is good. His wife is presumed dead in a tragic accident. Before her body is even cold, he slips into bed with her best friend. Tiring of his new plaything in short order, he is now shacking up with her mother. No, I promise, I'm not kidding. Yet, I'm sure that when the wife reveals herself as walking among the living, saintly Ryan will make it is life's mission to win her back.

Jake is a thief, his wife wasn't sure who fathered her child, and his brother is a murderer who never paid for his crime.

Believe you me, I could go on for hours! Sure, David has done some unspeakable things in his time. The people listed above are only a few quick to throw his actions in his face. They only do it because they know if they take the time to stand in front of a mirror and look at themselves, they'd have to face the ugly looking back!

Anything Goes

Everything John Barrowman is involved in turns to gold. His autobiography, Anything goes is no exception. In the opening pages, John says he wants the experience to be as if you're sitting with him having a conversation. The desired effect is definitely reached. I think the thing I admire most about this read is its honesty. Even in the many moments of humor and silliness throughout, the truth never seems far from the surface.

Every tale told is so obviously an important piece of what makes up John's world. You'll be able to breeze through this one quickly, but be sad when it ends. I promise, you'll love every second. Can't wait to dive into the next installment!

I Can See Clearly Now...

All My Children has officially made the jump to high definition. What a difference! In some cases though, the crystal clear picture doesn't serve well. Everyone knows I love me some Susan Lucci and Erica Kane, but the new-found clarity really shows her age. That's not to say she looks terrible however, it's just that every little imperfection is on display now.

I really like the new sets. Wildwind and the police station really pop. As a whole, I'm definitely all for the switch. Now, with Lorraine Broderick and company coming onboard, maybe the writing will start to match the beautiful visuals.

ECW Rebranded...

ECW will cease to exist in three weeks time. WWE has made the decision to discontinue the brand. I've hoped for a long time that this horribly misrepresented, shadow-of-its-former-self franchise, out of respect for the original incarnation, would die a quiet death. A show, under the WWE umbrella, will continue to air in the existing timeslot.
