News Brief

INTERVIEW: Y&R's Daniel Goddard
From TV Guide Canada's Nelson Branco: "Finding fault with ‘Y&R’s Daniel Goddard is a seemingly impossible directive, but according to soaps’ most beautiful person alive (shame on you, People Magazine!) he insists he’s far from perfect. And if you believe that, I have some swamp land to sell you."

AUDIO: Interview with Judith Chapman
THE YOUNG AND THE RESTLESS star Judith Chapman (who has made the rounds on daytime starring on AS THE WORLD TURNS, DAYS OF OUR LIVES, GUIDING LIGHT, RYAN'S HOPE and ONE LIFE TO LIVE) stopped by "Buzzworthy Radio" last night to discuss her soap career and talk with fans.

WHERE ARE THEY NOW: Lorraine Broderick and Felicia M. Behr
University 101, written, staged and shot entirely by students in Drexel University's Antoinette Westphal College of Media Arts & Design. Only the actors are pros. It's set to premiere in September on DUTV, which reaches 360,000 homes in greater Philadelphia.

University 101 is above all a learning experience for the undergraduates, a regular class with full credit. Music industry students are doing the scoring, fashion design students the costumes, interior design students the sets.

Students in the screenwriting and playwriting program made up the scripts. Six-time Emmy winner Lorraine Broderick, former head writer on DAYS OF OUR LIVES, AS THE WORLD TURNS, ALL MY CHILDREN and GUIDING LIGHT, was the professor.

Now film and video students, under the direction of Felicia M. Behr, former ABC-TV senior vice president of daytime programming, are completing production of the show's five episodes.

Charles Shaugnessy to star in here! film
here!, America’s premium gay television network, is pleased to announce the network debut of the thrilling original production, Polar Opposites.

Polar Opposites stars Charles Shaugnessy (ex-Shane, DAYS OF OUR LIVES) as Scientist David Terran. David has written bestsellers about the dangers of the Earth's magnetic fields, but his unconventional theories have made him a joke amongst his colleagues. Even his best friend, Martin (played by Ken Barnett), refuses to take David's scientific ideas seriously. Denied the respect he deserves, David gives up on his career and retreats to a remote cabin to live out his days alone with his father.

INTERVIEW: Former Y&R and DH star Lyndsy Fonseca
"I really don't know how I feel so comfortable playing a high school girl, because I never did go to high school and I never did have that experience. I feel like, just being young and being in a situation in that movie, where you're around a bunch of young kids, you just kind of feel like you're in school, because you're around everyone your age. Since I was little, I've played high school students. BOSTON PUBLIC was my first job where I played a high school student and pretty much every job after that. I guess, what you believe becomes real."

BLOG UPDATE: Tom Casiello
"There aren't enough adjectives, enough praise, enough mind-numbingly amazing synonyms in the world to describe how I feel about today's episode of ONE LIFE TO LIVE."
