"I’ve always maintained that despite his stormy temperament and the people he is said to have hurt, Paul is a genius."
DEEP SOAP: Finally Getting It Right
Sara A. Bibel blogs: "Has daytime finally realized that its audience contains a lot more GLBT and socially progressive viewers than homophobes? The best soap news of the week was that Bianca (Eden Riegel) is returning to ALL MY CHILDREN with a new girlfriend, Reese, – played by A-list soap star Tamara Braun (Carly #2, GH; Ava, DAYS OF OUR LIVES). I’m not sure whether ABC Daytime’s head Brian Frons has finally gotten the message that the daytime audience wants to see Bianca is a real relationship or if he just wants to see Riegel and Braun kiss. Either way, it’s a win for the audience."
THE ARCHERS is big business; Jack Ryder joins cast
THE ARCHERS, in business terms, is big. The world’s longest running radio drama, it’s older than ITV’s CORONATION STREET, much older than the BBC’s EASTENDERS. It always has hot plots at Christmas because Ambridge, like Santa, is something to believe in. With five million listeners in the UK, it’s also the most listened-to BBC programme on-line. Its template (drama with informational intent) has spawned similar shows in Afghanistan and other far-flung parts. Having survived various managerial attempts on its life in the past it now rejoices in the love and devotion of BBC bosses.
Ryan, a new young character, will be played by Jack Ryder, formerly of EASTENDERS. This is in line with Radio 4’s controller Mark Damazer’s aim ‘to encourage a wide variety of talents and bring in new blood’, which seems to boil down to bringing in TV people whose faces people will recognise. If such a thing sounds very un-radio, please remember soap and celebrity are universal currencies these days.
Budig on ZooToo
There are no lions, tigers or bears on ZooToo, the hot new online site described as a "networking and resource site for all pet lovers."
It is a website designed to help pet lovers share a wealth of information on what's cooking in the animal world. And the "zoo" is packed with pictures of members' pets -- from dogs and cats to horses, birds, fish and reptiles. Since the site was started last October, it has amassed more than 250,000 members. It costs nothing to join.
One member is ALL MY CHILDREN star Rebecca Budig. Her online picture shows the young actress snuggling with her yellow Lab. "I'm addicted to ZooToo," she said. "I just love seeing all the adorable animals on the site. Plus, it's a great way for me to find any pet-related info that I need. I go on the site when I'm in my dressing room."
Which GREY'S star has earned the most money off the set?
It's Katherine Heigl with estimated off-set earnings of $16.1 million.
The world's first double-arm transplant patient is doing well and has spoken for the first time since undergoing major surgery in Germany to attach two donor limbs. Our health correspondent Thomas Moore has that story.
