Seven months and 60 film festivals later, Greetings From The Shore (starring ONE LIFE TO LIVE's David Fumero), will debut in New Jersey and Pennsylvania theaters beginning Sept. 12.
Fumero, a native Cuban who grew up in Miami, spoke about reading the script about the Jersey shore.
“I thought, ‘what kind of beaches do they have in New Jersey?’” he said. “When we got there, I said, ‘wow…what beautiful sand, beautiful water.’”
“In a soap opera, we can do a 100-page script in a day,” he said. “Whereas we would do a four-page scene in eight hours for the movie.”

Life may always be kicking EASTENDERS loser Billy Mitchell in the teeth, but the actor behind the character, Perry Fenwick, couldn't be happier. He recently spoke about his delight with his latest storyline, in which Billy gets mixed up with some gangsters alongside Jase (Stephen Lord).
"I'm lucky that my boss gives me some pretty great storylines," Fenwick told Hot TV magazine. "I like the fact that just when you think you've got Billy figured out, he'll do something that will totally surprise you."

The NOOR social phenomenonThe effect is such that people are divided into two camps – anti-NOOR or pro-NOOR. On Facebook, the social meeting site, anti-NOOR groups are multiplying as fast as die-hard fans of the series. Members of the ‘I hate NOOR’ group denounce the series for being unrealistic and for having too much influence on the population.
Anti and pro-NOOR camps are opposed all over Arab society, even within couples. Fadi Makdissi, a Syrian pharmacist living in Paris, hates the series because “young and old adore it but it’s ridiculous.” While his wife loves watching the program, for Fadi it is just a passing trend that bored Arab society is latching on to, to fill some kind of gap.

Can you imagine Phyllis vs. Erica on a dance floor competing together?"
