Linda Dano is returning to the Soap Opera world tomorrow as an iconic character on Days of Our Lives. The Soap vet will play the villain Vivian Alamain, a role that is perfect for her.
Even though Dano has been doing this for almost 40 years, she still gets nervous when she starts a new Daytime Drama. “I was scared to death, but I thought about all of you and it made it so much better…so…to all my friends who spent so many years together on AW with me…thank you and I hope this will be fun,” she wrote. “And too DOOL’s thank you for asking…. love to all of you…”
As of now, the gig is only for two weeks. Hopefully, they will extend her contract. We need her back on our television sets. Especially, since she still looks so amazing. Can you believe she is 77? She looks just like she did when she played Felicia Gallant on Another World.
Katherine Kelly Young shared a photo of herself from a shoot she did for Vanity Fair Italia, and I can’t believe she is 59 years old with those legs and everything above them. Not only does she star on The Bold and the Beautiful, but she is also bold and beautiful. The Soap vixen is as timeless as the daytime drama.
Isn’t she stunning? Can you believe she will turn 60 in six months?
Soap Opera Digest via Kristian AlfonsoBack in July, Kristian Alfonso announced that she was leaving Days of Our Lives again, but didn’t say when her last episode would air. Now we know that it is airing this week.
The actress posted some photos from her final scenes, and it looks like we will need some tissues. A lot of tissues.
Are you going to miss her as Hope? Personally, I think she will be back. Don’t you?
Before Finola Hughes was driving police cars on General Hospital, she was getting around town in a Plymouth Duster. She looks the same now as she did when she was 25 in that 1984 commercial.
While the name of the car is awful, that ad is absolutely fantastic.
Normally at this time of year, broadcast’s scripted television would be back in full production. However, COVID-19 has other ideas about that. This year, the only shows back at work are game shows, reality TV, and soap operas.
Well, that is about to change soon. Deadline is reporting that S.W.A.T., the midseason show that just made it back on the fall lineup, is expected to start filming tomorrow in Los Angeles. By the end of the month, it could be joined by The Goldbergs. These Sony produced shows join their studio brethren Jeopardy, Wheel of Fortune, Shark Tank, The Bold and the Beautiful, and The Young and The Restless in production.
Y&R joins B&B and will begin airing new episodes starting on August 10th, according to CBS.
There is one more Sony show getting ready to go back to work, and that is The Good Doctor in Vancouver. It is not the only show that tapes in Canada that is gearing up to begin filming. So is Supernatural, The Flash, Riverdale, A Million Little Things, and Charmed. When Calls the Heart went back into production last week with Jack Wagner.
That is north of Hollywood to the west, Family Feud will forego an audience in Atlanta later this month per The Wrap. Up north in New York City, The Blacklist is not being blacklisted from filming.
All of these shows will constantly be testing the cast and crew to make sure they are still coronavirus negative. It will be costly, but not producing new episodes is even more expensive. However, human lives are priceless, and they will do everything they can to protect them.
