Emmerdale's Grace Cassidy (Hannah Barton) Quits Soap!

After three years, actress Grace Cassidy has decided that she's had enough of her role in Emmerdale playing Hannah Barton and has quit the iTV soap.

Oh just shoot me now. It's been confirmed by multiple sources that The Young and The Restless is going to take the pairing of Victor and Sharon to a new level, reuniting the couple and eventually moving them into the bedroom and doing the do.....

Just why? Why does Maria Arena Bell hate me so? What did I do? LML didn't like me much, but I'd take Victoria getting boinked on the head with a cardboard brick over this foolishness any day! Or heck go full on with Victor/Genoveve! I'd take it! Victor and Laura Spencer is less skeevy then this! It's just wrong....

But hey that's just my take, what do you think of this news? Let me know in the comments below.

General Hospital's Feclia Trended In USA!

After making her triumphant return to General Hospital Kristina Wagner's character Felicia Jones immediately began to trend as the social networking website Twitter went a buzz with news, theories and discussions of what her arrival will mean for the show!

Genearl Hospital Shocker? Maxie Saw Matt Kill Lisa!

General Hospital executive producer Frank Valentini spent the day a twittering about a "BIG" surprise coming on today's episode of General Hospital and it all lead up to the final moment of the episode in which in an arguably lack luster scene Maxie admitted to Spinelli that she saw Matt KILL Lisa Niles!

Um yea... so I definitely saw this twist coming a mile away, but I kinda got swept up in the "Shocking twist" promotion that Frank was doing and assumed that the final act might have included a twist surprise by Frisco Jones (aka Jack Wagner) for just a quick drop in! Now THAT would have been shocking and amazing, but this...not so much.

What did you think of the twist? Were you shocked? Let me know in the comments below.

Emmerdale's Maxwell Caulfield Cast in Web Soap DeVanity!

As season 3 of the hit web series DeVanity goes into production, the series has announced that former Dynasty and Emmerdale star Maxwell Caulfield has been cast in the role of Richard DeVanity!

I absolutely adored Caulfield's portrayal of the evil bigamist Mark Wyle on Emmerdale and was saddened when I heard that he was going to be leaving the program and the series choice to kill him off (Home Farm hasn't been the same without him!) but Caulfield was an amazing actor and I am sure that he will do a brilliant job on DeVanity and definately be another reason to tune into this show week after week!

What do you think of this casting news? Does Caulfield fit what you have in mind for someone of Richard DeVanity's standards? Let me know in the comments below.

Since 2008 Fans have been clamoring for Kristina Wagner to return to General Hospital in the role of Felicia Jones, and today they get their wish as the fan favorite returns to Port Charles to shake things up!

What did you think of the trailer? Are you excited to see the film?

Days Of Our Lives John Aniston and Suzanne Rogers First Month Long Absence Since 2008!

After having been the focus and one of the few bright spots during a very dark period of Days of our lives actors John Aniston and Suzanne Rogers who portray Victor and Maggie Kiriakis were not seen at ALL the entire month of April! This is the first time either actor has been absent from Days since 2008!

Why is this? Why did the network / the new regime not take to "Magic" like the fans had? I guess only time will show what the future has in store for this couple, but it is sad to see that the actors were not used at all, and thus breaking a streak that no one wanted to see broken.

Are you missing Magic? Why do you think the regime didn't take to these vets like it took to others? Let me know your thoughts in the comments below or on twitter @SoapWikiJohn

ABC Twitter Accident: Pimping The Chew Via General Hospital

Whoops! Someone over at ABC used the General Hospital twitter account to tweet out a "winning" sandwich with a link to the All My Children replacement The Chew's page! The tweet has since been deleted. I just find it funny that it happened this way... wonder if the chew will ever pimp GH?

Aaron Lustig Returns To The Young and The Restless

Going back through the Young and the Restless history book headwriter Maria Arena Bell came across the name Tim Reid so of course in typical MAB fashion she just HAD to bring him back! So we now have the news that actor Aaron Lustig will be returning to the soap world (and for the first time on Y&R since 1997) for a short guest stint as the evil Ricky tries to dig up some dirt on Miss Phylis

Are you excited about this news?

Pretty Little Liar's Star Grab's Days Guest Stint

Pretty Little Liars star Brant Daugherty has secured himself a guest stint on the NBC soap Days of our Lives where he will be involved in the Will/Sonny (WilSon) story.

Daugherty is expected to begin airing in late June.

Christie Clark and Patrick Muldoon Film Final Days Of Our Lives Scenes

Well knowing the news was coming doesn't make this post any easier to type. Days of our Lives actors Christie Clark and Patrick Muldoon who play Carrie and Austen Reed respectfully have filmed their final scenes on Days of our Lives after returning to the program this past September.

While I wasn't an over the top fan of the stories and directions that they decided to take the characters in, Muldoon and Clark's performances were stellar and they will definitely be missed, hopefully this will not be the last time we see Carrie and Austen in town, but for now it's adios.

How do you think the pair will exit? Will they find their way back together? Will someone/both die? Let me hear your speculation in the comments below or on twitter @SoapWikiJohn

Guiding Light From 1979 Coming To DVD In Germany!

Fans of Guiding Light have been clamoring for old episodes since the soaps cancellation in 2009, now thanks in part to Soap Classic we are getting the entire series from 1979 released on DVD! The only down side is the sets are currently only available in Germany!

Die Springfield Story (Aka The Guiding Light) Where it all began (Wie alles begann) season 1 (staffel 1) aka 1979- will be released on June 22nd and will include both German and English audio! While I have not placed my order just yet I have to say I am very tempted! Are you?

Did Days Of Our Lives Find It's Eric Brady?

It comes as no real surprise to say that Days Of Our Lives is looking for an actor to fill the void Jensen Ackles left behind with the role of Eric Brady being off camera for years. Various actors have tested for the role but always in the end last minute rewrites have changed the course. Now once again I have heard Days is looking for an Eric Brady this time in the form of "Drew", and might have just found one in the form of unknown actor Carson Underwood.

Will Underwood get or take the part? We will have to wait and see as he is also up for the role of the Red Power Ranger in the upcoming 2013 series!

The role of "Drew" is described by Soap Opera Digest to be "A 30-to-35-year-old well-built, Caucasian male. "Drew is the ideal man in every way," reads the breakdown for the part. "From his incredible good looks, to his sincerity, integrity and strength. He is the total package. He is smart and caring and has a way about him that puts anyone at ease. But behind his perfect facade may lie a pain that drives him to do anything to forget his past." 

What do you think of this news? Do you think Underwood would make a good Eric Brady? Better yet do you think "Drew" Is Eric? Let me know your take in the comments below.

DeVanity Season 2 Episode 8 Season Finale Recap and Reactions

So oops? LOL The long awaited and highly anticipated recap and reaction to the Devanity season finale is FINALLY here!

WebSeries Review: GenericGirl Pilot

Hey guys! So I know we haven't really been active around the blog, mainly because a deadly combination of school and work has kept me BEYOND busy, and tonight really isn't an exception to that business but rather I just felt like blogging a bit and catching up on some web series work that I have kinda been neglecting, so get ready for a WebSeries marathon because that's where I am heading now starting with the JTS.TV series Generic Girl.

General Hospital: Robin Is ALIVE!

It's the moment fans were clamoring for- as Robin Scorpio was revealed to be ALIVE! It's all been leading to this- an unforgettable umbrella story that will tie the fabric of the show together, while changing Port Charles forever.

As far as stories goes...I am disappointed that Robin is ALIVE from a "I am SICK OF Back from the DEADS" point of view, but there is real story potential here and I am glad they are exploring it.

What did you guys think of this twist? Let me know in the comments below

Kassie DePaiva Say's No Plans To Return To General Hospital!

Well that wasn't what I wanted to hear! The lovely and talented Kassie DePaiva has announced on twitter into a fan's question of when she will be returning, that there are no plans for her to return to General Hospital!

WHY there are no plans is BEYOND me, and goes against a few other things that I heard were in the works...hopefully they can get a deal done and we can have Blair back on my tv screen fighting after her TAWD....

What did you think of this news? Let me know in the comments below.

A Moment Of Silence For RavenBeauty

We here on the island would like to just take a moment of silence for the amazing soap spoiler queen RavenBeauty who announced that her doctors told her that her cancer is terminal.

Our thoughts and prayers go with Raven, her family and friends during this trying time.

Maxie Confesses To Killing Robin AND LISA NIELES?

It was a twist many fans did not see coming yesterday as Maxie Jones (Jen Lilley) confessed not only to killing fanfavorite Robin Scorpio-Drake, but also in a shocking storyline twist confessed to killing Lisa Niles as well!

While I cannot say I like that 'twist' in particular, I definitely LOVED the performance Lilley gave and was sucked right into the story as a whole! Now I am sure there are many more twist and turns to go before it's over, especially with Ron Carlavati writing things, but for now I am definitely going to tune in and find out what's gonna happen next.

Now on the debate side people are upset that Kristen Storms was unable to return in time to give these performances, and I completely understand that, BUT that does not take away anything from Lilley's stellar performance, she knocked it out of the park and did just as good, in my opinion, a job as Storms would have done with the material. The only difference is we, as fans, have had six years to bond with Storms and watch her develop into the loveable character that despite some awful writing we could still root for, but Lilley came in with questionable writing, under horrible circumstances and has been able to make the character into her own. The same fans wanting Storms back probably were complaining Storms first year and wanting Robyn Richards back in the role. All I can say is that I have accepted Lilley as Maxie Jones and I will enjoy her tenure however long it last, and I wish Storms the best of luck with whatever it is that has kept her away at this point.

ABC Cancles The Revolution?

It looks like ABC is going to make a revolution to ABC's Daytime lineup, as I have heard from MULTIPLE sources that ABC is has quietly canceled the floundering mess that is The Revolution.

But what does this mean for General Hospital? This definitely helps GH's chances for renewal, but there are two other alternatives in play here.

1) ABC creates a new talker to fill the timeslot
or 2) ABC gives the timeslot back to the affiliates to do with what they please.

SO how can you help save GH? Call your local affiliate and express concern for GH future and say that you are a fan and would like to continue watching and supporting the series and their network for years to come. DO NOT yell or be disrespectful to these people. THEY are not the ones in charge of making the final decision, but they do have some influence over ABC so their opinions do matter and they form their opinions by what YOU the viewer tell them.

What do you think of this news? Are you excited to say good-bye to the revolting One life to live timeslot killer? OR were you actually enjoying the revolution? Let me know your take in the comments below.

Richard Dean Anderson Returning To General Hospital?

Interesting news- I'm hearing from multiple sources that primetime star Richard Dean Anderson is in talks to return to his role as Jeff Webber on ABC's General Hospital for an upcoming story arc!

While no confirmation of this story has appeared, with Heather Webber returning, Liz and Steven being in town, and rumors heavily circulating of a big "Webber" storyline, I could see Jeff returning and if Anderson is up to it, could you imagine the possibilities?

What do you think of this piece of casting news? Do you think Anderson will return? Let me know in the comments below

Emmerdale Cast And Crew Present For Danny Miller's Exit

The Emmerdale cast and crew created this video for Danny Miller (Aaron Livesy) leaving party, and it's kinda all shades of awesome.

Good-Bye Danny we will miss ya!

Lee Donoghue Last Episode As Hunter McKay On Shortland Street Airs

It's a sad day down under as actor Lee Donoghue's final episode of Shortland Street as the loveable Hunter McKay has aired.

While we may not have liked all of Hunter's storylines, Lee made his mark on the series and will be missed.

What did you think of Hunter's exit? Did you enjoy it? Do you think the character has run it's course or do you wish he could have stayed around?

Emmerdale's Danny Miller (Aaron) Films Final Scenes

It's official, actor Danny Miller who plays the lovable Aaron Livesy on Emmerdale has finished filming on the series late last night.

Tweeting: "Well with Aarons trackies n hoodies hung up.. I think I will raise a toast to him tonight for giving me 4 of THE BEST years of my life."

We here on the island would like to personally thank Danny for his portrayal of Aaron, because he has truly been a shining light on that series and provided a reason for myself and @SoapOperaBabble to continue watching, and the series will not be the same without him.

Hopefully he will come back one day, but we rest assured that Mr. Miller is off to bigger and better things! Good luck and don't forget the 'Dales because we won't forget you.

Danny Miller's final scenes as Aaron Livesy air early next month.

Looking At General Hospital's New Openings

So yesterday afternoon fans sat infront of their tv to enjoy another installment of General Hospital and were quickly ran to twitter to grumble about how "AWFUL" the new GH opening was, but by the time the episode aired online the music had already been replaced and revamped to be the Night Shift theme song.



So my question to you is what do you think of the new openings? I know it is hard to adjust to a new theme song- I am still missing the Home and Away theme and it's been missing since 2009, but in this title card world I am happy to have some music and opening vs. no music and this way we do get a few added seconds of programming that would have been taken up by the music.

What did you think? Do you like it? HATE IT? OR just don't care because you hit fast forward when it shows up anyways? Let me know in the comments below.

Looking At Web Pilot: Relapse

Wow, just wow. I just had the opportunity to check out the pilot for a new web series entitled Relapse thanks to @armlessphelan on twitter, and my jaw just hit the floor with how well it was produced. Is it perfect? No, but it's major imperfection is the fact that the pilot was over before it started.

The characters, plot, acting, and production quality for the pilot were extremely high, and it showed great promise for what a full fledged series 'could' be if they continued to tell the story of these characters.

As it stands however the pilot was it, and while it left me wanting more, I don't know how long that "wanting more" will be before Relapse isn't just a fond memory of 'what could have been'.

What did you think of the pilot? Would you watch it if it was a full fledged web-series?

Coronation Street: Good-Bye Becky!

So I just had the opportunity to screen Becky Granger-McDonald's final episodes of Coronation Street and I wanted to take a moment and just reflect on her tenure on the street.

Coronation Street: Who Killed Frank- The Suspects

Uh Oh! Things are not looking good for Frank Foster as the character is set to be killed off later this week! But with his death comes an on-going murder mystery with five suspects having been officially named!

Who do you think will be the one to give Frank his dues? Let me know in the comments below or on twitter @SoapWikiJohn

Good-Bye Cole? Is General Hospital About To Kill Off Cole Thornhart?

Say it ain't so! At the end of Friday's (2/24) episode of General Hospital- One Life to Live character Cole Thornhart's life was hanging once again in the balance as he crashed his car, threatening his life, and the life of his girlfriend Starr Manning and daughter Hope!

But will Cole LIVE?

Comparing Kisses: Days Will & Neil Vs. Other Soaps First Same Sex Kiss

So Days Of Our Lives has taken the first step and allowed Will Horton to kiss a boy, but how does this stack up to other soaps "first" attempt at the realm of same sex kisses? Let's take a moment and compare and contrast this monumental event with some other noteworthy ones.

Days First Same Sex Kiss! Will & Neil!

Just wow. My hat goes off to the folks over at Sony entertainment and Days of Our Lives for pushing the Will story further than any American soap has gone before. While I will be "comparing kisses" in the next post, I wanted to just take a moment to say well done and give Days props for what they have done.

What did you guys think of the kiss? Let me know in the comments below

Zac Effron and Taylor Swift Perform On Ellen

Okay DON'T Kill me soap fans, I saw this clip from Ellen and I HAD To share! We know Ellen Degeneres is a soap fan so hey don't kill me! LOL

Anyways in this clip Zac Effron and Taylor Swift sing a song "Everytime I come on this show it's really weird because of Ellen" and I don't know why but I found it catchy and I loved it. So say what you will about my taste but it's gonna be stuck in my head for at least the next few hours...

Dance Academy Episode 1 Recap and Reactions

Hey all!

One of our most popular posts here on Denial Island have been the coverage leading up to former Home and Away Star Jordan Rodriguez new show Dance Academy. After becoming a successful cult hit ‘down under’, the show now is making its way to American shores and as a result I thought I’d take the time to recap and react to the series as it airs on TeenNick. So grab up a chair and a cuppa and let’s get started.

Neighbours From The Beginning Volume 1 Artwork Revealed!

After much anticipation the artwork for Neighbours From the Beginning Volume 1 has been revealed! As previously reported this six disc set will include the first 56 episodes of the series!

The series is being released as PG- for mild themes, sexual references, and infringement course language - So was Neighbours in the beginning the Neighbours after dark that our @SoapOperaBabble really wants? Nope. But it is a bit different than the G rated series we have today.

Are you going to check this dvd set out?

DeVanity Season 2 Episode 6 Recap And Reactions

Hey guys! Yes a brand new episode of DeVanity aired yesterday, and I was unable to watch it then but it's still fresh so let's get into the recap and reactions of this SFN original series.

WARNING: THE FOLLOWING RECAP INCLUDES A MAJOR SPOILER! DO NOT CONTINUE UNLESS YOU WANT TO BE SPOILED/ HAVE SEEN THE EPISODE!

Did Home and Away fire Jay Laga'aia Over Race?

It's good to see I am not the only one who is stirring up a little drama on the soap front, former Home and Away star Jay Laga'aia who played Elijah Johnson has taken to twitter and alleged that his recent firing had more to do with his race than anything else.

Hats off to you Firass Dirani, for a call to stop commercial network producers casting only white actors. Only on Australian screens. Shame!

As someone who lost his job on H&A because they couldnt write two ethnics that weren't together, I'd like a chance to ply my trade freely

I think commercial TV should take a leaf out of children's TV in this country. We are a rainbow nation in kids TV. No tokens here.

Meanwhile a representative for the 7 network (which broadcast Home and Away in Australia) told the Herald Sun

"Jay's comments are offensive. We have great regard for Jay and his work on Home and Away during the last two years.

"It is insulting to suggest that Home and Away is racist. His character's storyline reached a natural conclusion."

While I feel for both parties I can't help but side with both in this matter. On one hand the character of Elijah lost all momentum that had been going for him when Laga'aia took his break to go film his movie. Thus when he came back in 2011 it felt little more than to little to late and felt like the character was shoehorned into the story and didn't really have a place anymore.

At the same time there was plenty of potential stories to be told with Elijah had the network really wanted to sit down and think things through. I do believe the story of Elijah and Leah have come to a natural end, but does that have to be the end of Elijah? I guess the answer is yes...

I wish both parties the best of luck in the future, and look forward to seeing Elijah's exit this April.

What do you think? Was Laga'aia's claims of racism warranted or was it just time for Elijah to go? Let me know your take in the comments below or on twitter @SoapWikiJohn

Ragged Isle episode 3 recap and reactions

Hey all its another week and I am still watching Ragged Isle, Dark Shadows esque the drama is still going, I was still awaiting that “hooking” factor to appear, will tonight’s episode be the one to keep me going?

Catherine Hickland Says "Soap Fans Are Being Heard"

Interesting - former One Life To Live actress Catherine Hickland rally's fans saying that they are being heard by people in charge, especially at other networks, and that there is still a possibility of these shows coming back.

Now was this just wishful thinking and trying to put herself in a good light or is there actually a shot at these shows returning? I would love to be an optimist and say "there is always a chance" but at the same time I kinda feel like the optimum time for One Life to Live to have returned has past, and that while there are still fans out there that would follow it, the show has lost the momentum it would have had, if Prospect park had continued on with their efforts.

What do you think? Do you think the shows will come back or is it all done? Let me know in the coments below

SoapClassics Releases Guiding Light "The Reva Shayne Collection"

She's a liar, a tramp, an adulterous, a cancer surviving, post- menopause birthing mother, an more importantly the slut of Springfield, how am I doin Bud? Yea she's REVA SHAYNE LEWIS and she is getting her very own DVD collection released exclusively by SoapClassics!

The Reva Collection includes 5 iconic episodes from this Guiding Light heroine's past, and will keep viewers on the edge of their seat as they see this legendary character arrive on canvas with her FIRST episode all the way to her 2006 divorce from her other half JOSHU-AH!!!!!!!!!

Are you going to be purchasing the set? What are you looking forward to seeing the most? To give you a little taste check out the unforgettable 'Slut of Springfield" speech below.

Ragged Isle Episode 2 Recap and Reactions

To say I went a little hard on the premiere of the SFN drama Ragged Isle would be probably the biggest understatement ever made on this blog, or probably in the world, but I stand by my initial thoughts that I posted last week, and I still believe that it is best to be honest when talking about these productions, because they ARE the future of the entertainment medium and instead of building relationships off of lies and coddling I would rather build them on truth and honesty.

With that said now that I have had another trip to Ragged Isle, not to mention a week to get to let the initial episode sit and compare to the initial episodes of DeVanity and Pretty did my impression change any?

Days Of Our Lives Recasting Santo Dimera????

Well this is odd, Days Of Our Lives has put out a casting call for a new Santo Dimera to play the role for 2 episodes with potential for more later on. Considering the role was originated by James Scott who is still on contract I really don't see the point to this recast, but hey that's just me.

Speculation on what this return could mean for Stefano (especially his paternity) have been running rampant over the internet, but we will just have to tune in and find out in May/June when these scenes will air.

Why do you think they are recasting Santo? Do you want a recast or would you rather see James in the role? Let me know your thoughts in the comments below

DeVanity Season 2 Episode 5 Recap And Reactions

Hey all,

So a brand new episode of The SFN Network's series DeVanity just aired, and I am here to recap the action and discuss what I think now that I am all caught up.

Is The SFN's DeVanity All It's Hyped Up To Be?

I have been kind-of quite here on the blog lately, especially where it concerns the internet darling that is the SFN web series DeVanity but with Ragged Isle kicking off our web soap coverage into full swing I finally decided to give the series a proper go. Unlike Ragged Isle however, I had the entire first season and a few episodes of season 2 to marathon and get to know the cast and crew through before writing this blog post.

Home and Away 6 Feb 2012 (5446) Episode RECAP And Reactions

Hey all, sorry for the delay! Had a LOT going on today and then technical issues got in the way so I didn't get to do this until now! Anyways let's get started!

Jane Beale's EastEnders Exit

Good gosh everyone is leaving the square these days! First Pat, than Kat, and RICKY! Now JANE! :(

Jane's exit however was done much better, in my opinion, than Kat or Ricky's because it gave actual build up and follow through and I really enjoyed that. YES her getting a job from a random hobo was kinda odd and rushed, but I did like her good-bye party and the way they treated her was just brilliant. Hopefully Jane will return, but if she doesn't at least she got a proper EastEnders exit in the back of a car.
We will miss you Jane so don't be a stranger!

What did you think of Jane's exit? Will you miss her? Or is it well and truly her time to go? Let me know your thoughts in the comments below.

Pretty The Series Season 1: Recap and Review!

When I was trying to decide what websoap to cover next after Ragged Isle, I saw a tweet about Pretty: The Series 3rd season finale airing soon! So I thought what the heck and decided to check it out. (YES I am also watching Devanity slowly and will probably have the season 1 recap and review for that series done shortly)

So without further ado, let's get pretty.

Ricky Butcher's EastEnders Exit

The residents of Albert Square bid EastEnders star Sid Owen farewell as his character Ricky Butcher was kicked out of his house, family, and marriage by Bianca after she found out about his affair with Mandy Salter and his lie about the two's child.

While Ricky has never been my favorite character on the show, I did feel that this exit was kinda piss poor. I mean Ricky stuck with Bianca throughout her prison sentence and took care of HER kids, he did forgive her for cheating on him with Dan Sullivan, and it just seems like a rushed way to break up this popular pairing, and I hate that.

But hopefully Ricky will once again return and we can see Bianca and him rebuild their relationship.

What did you guys think of Ricky's Exit? Were you sad to see him go, or happy and hope he never comes back? Let me know your thoughts in the comments below, or on twitter @SoapWikiJohn.
