Out on the Town - April 13, 2008
1 When last we saw Daniel Hugh Kelly's creepy Colonel Mayer on AS THE WORLD TURNS, he was about to hauled off to prison for murdering Cheri Love. Before he left, Luke managed to scream out "I love your son!" in a heated exchange as Noah looked on. Nearly seven months later, the Colonel will be back. Kelly returns to Oakdale as Noah's father beginning on Tuesday, May 6. No word yet on what the story might be. Kelly is best known to soap fans for his three year run on RYAN'S HOPE as Frank Ryan. He also played McCormick on HARDCASTLE AND MCCORMICK in the mid-80s.

SAG Asks AFTRA to Return To Phase One Screen Actors Guild National Board of Directors today adopted the following resolution: “...that AFTRA be given the opportunity to join Screen Actors Guild in Phase I joint negotiations, provided that notice of acceptance is received within 72 hours.” Approved: 81.37% - 18.63%. This action has been communicated to AFTRA. Will the ATWT reality web series out-gay the actual show? Brian Juergens blogs: "Not like that's really too hard, these days. But fans of Luke and Noah (and their real-life counterparts, Van Hansis and Jake Silbermann) and the mechanisms of daytime television might want to keep an eye on the web show INTURN, :which awards one lucky aspiring soap star with a 13-week contract on AS THE WORLD TURNS. (Get it? In Turn?) While it doesn't look like any of the four male contestants is openly gay (three of the guys mention girfriends or wives in their bios), the preview video suggests that they'll be asked to do a guy/guy love scene in one of the challenges." Y&R's Esther finally gets some recognition Sometimes to get big, you have to start small. Kate Linder is a perfect example of that. After joining the cast of THE YOUNG AND THE RESTLESS 25 years ago, Linder is finally getting her due. Last week she received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Years ago after going for a casting call, Linder got her call back and the rest is history, hired as Esther Valentine, Katherine's long-suffering housekeeper and nemesis of Jill. Her stars joins two soap opera legends…Eric Braeden (Y&R) and Susan Lucci (ALL MY CHILDREN). Mad May returns to EASTENDERS EASTENDERS actress Amanda Drew is to reprise her controversial Walford role as warped Dr 'Mad' May Wright. The 38-year-old actress will resurrect her sinister screen counterpart after almost a year's break. Viewers last saw May tangled in the midst of Albert Square's baby abduction storyline which led to her character's exit from the soap. Last year, BBC bosses made the decision to substantially re-write and re-film the ending to the storyline due to events surrounding Madeleine McCann in Portugal. The climax episode still attracted almost 200 complaints.

News Brief
Hayden Panettiere: Hollywood success has made me a recluse Former GUIDING LIGHT and ONE LIFE TO LIVE actress Hayden Panettiere has confessed becoming a mega-star (thanks to HEROES) has turned her into a virtual recluse. "I don’t ever go out," she says, of her life in Hollywood, where she drives everywhere to avoid being recognised on the street. "I stay at home. I go from garage to garage, and keep myself out of sight." The 18-year-old, who has been catapulted into the A-list since taking on the role of cheerleader Claire Bennet in the US drama, admits she finds being famous "a pain in the ass." "I love where I live and that I have wonderful friends there and I love what I do, but it really has a major impact on your life. This business is very intrusive. People want to know what you’re doing every day, and it becomes less about your craft and your art, and your love for acting, than it is about when you put food in your mouth, or when you’re walking your dog." CANAL ROAD ... Paul Leyden's dark and troubled doctor 1 Even Paul Leyden (ex-Simon, AS THE WORLD TURNS) admits he had a few problems putting a label on his latest character. As Spencer McKay, a psychiatrist working at the CANAL ROAD legal and medical centre, he's friendly to his colleagues - even flirts a bit with some - and spends his days trying to help those who have all but given up on themselves. But he's also a man obsessed with finding the killer of his wife and child, someone who's only just keeping his dark side in check and might benefit from the kind of therapy he metes out. "Oh, he's a complex guy for sure," Leyden said. "In one scene we'll see him going out of his way to help people and then you'll see him visiting a prostitute, throwing someone up against a wall or in tears. There's nobody else like him in a lead role at the moment." As complex as Spencer is, he's perfect for CANAL ROAD, a show that breaks more than a few rules itself. Professor became hooked on pop culture thanks to GL Elayne Rapping is a popular culture expert who is extremely popular with reporters. The professor of American studies has become a go-to source on a variety of subjects for journalists around the world. She was teaching at a small business college in Pittsburgh in the 70s when she became interested in pop culture as an academic topic, thanks to a soap opera. Her students came to class talking about these vivid personalities they knew, and it turned out they were characters from GUIDING LIGHT, she recalled. Rapping got hooked on soap operas, noting they were one of the few places in the 1970s where women could play nontraditional, leadership roles. "It was like a fantasy world where women had all the power," Rapping said. Editor's Note: My how times have changed. `Dallas' movie stalled and minus John Travolta The director is now Gurinder Chadha, the budget been scaled back from $65 million, the latest idea is to rewrite the film as a comedy spoof with -- get this -- Ben Stiller as J.R. Keegan's CORRIE role being expanded CORONATION STREET babe Michelle Keegan is celebrating her new single status by posing for sexy snaps in fishnet tights and high-heel boots. The brunette, 20, has split from long-term love, HOLLYOAKS actor Anthony Quinlan, 22, but won't be short of new admirers. Trouble is, Michelle may be too busy for dating as CORRIE bosses are so chuffed with her portrayal of Tina McIntyre - girlfriend of David Platt (Jack P Shepherd, 20) - they're building up her role.
