On a recent afternoon at ABC Studios in Manhattan, Thorsten Kaye wore his Detroit Red Wings shirt in back-to-back love scenes.
Kaye, who plays the casino owner Zach Slater on ALL MY CHILDREN, finished rehearsing with Alicia Minshew, who plays his wife, Kendall Hart. Then he rolled up his script and walked to his dressing room and opened the door.
“This is like my own little Detroit locker room,” Kaye said, smiling. “This room is my tribute to the Red Wings.”
Kaye, who said he is looking forward to their season opener on Thursday night against Toronto, sat on a small bed covered by sheets emblazoned with the team’s winged-wheel logo. A giant logo loomed on a wall above his head, and other Red Wings memorabilia was scattered about, including an overhead light fixture that resembled the scoreboard at Joe Louis Arena. On Kaye’s scoreboard, the home team is always leading, 2-1.
“Look at that,” Kaye said, pointing to an empty Champagne bottle signed by all the Red Wings after they defeated the Pittsburgh Penguins to win the Stanley Cup last season. “I wish I was there to celebrate with them that night.”

DEEP SOAP: So Crazy It Just Might Work
Sara A Bibel writes: "I have never understood why such a relatable, well written show (FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS) isn’t a huge hit. But it isn’t. Its fans, like daytime fans, are passionate but small in number. So FNL has been relegated to satellite. These episodes will allegedly air on NBC in the spring, but I can’t imagine that the show will do well. It will have been off of network television for a year and a half. Even fans without DirecTV will be able to find the show on-line. So these are, in all likelihood, the final thirteen episodes. That’s why I have a rather immodest proposal: move FNL to daytime. The show has everything that daytime fans have been clamoring for: the storylines are character driven, the characters are flawed but likable, friendship and family relationships get as much attention as romance."
ATWT's Herrera producing DVD for Mississippi schools
“Art contributes to life and helps for one to have a balanced life,” said Anthony Herrera, who, off and on since 1980, has been John Stenbeck on AS THE WORLD TURNS. He also played Mark Galloway in 1974 and 1975 on the show.
Herrera, 64, was first exposed to poetry as a college student at Ole Miss. While there, in the early 1960s, Herrera was part of the same fraternity as Vicksburg attorney Landy Teller, who was his big brother in Sigma Chi.
“Landy is still, in many ways, my big brother, friend and lawyer,” said Herrera.
Teller said, “I have been a close friend with Anthony since college. I have admired him for many years. He is a determined individual who is constantly trying to do positive things for humanity. The poetry theater DVD is going to be a phenomenal thing.”
Herrera has visited Vicksburg three times, during which he performed with the Vicksburg Theatre Guild, “Smoke and Mirrors,” a play he co-authored and produced. He also brought A.R. Gurney’s “Love Letters” and his one-man poetry show, “The Lunatic, the Love and the Poet,” to Vicksburg.
Herrera is founder of www.poetrytheatre.org, a Web site that aims to cultivate the arts among youths. His DVD features professional actors and Mississippi students reading their favorite poems.
“I think it’s important for kids to learn new things, to learn how to think, to be exposed to new ideas and to be exposed to the arts,” Herrera said.
Herrera is a native of Wiggins. He now lives in Argentina. He is a cancer survivor and, in 2005, wrote a book, “The Cancer War.”
CORONATION STREET scraps script after footballers' complaints
Britain's biggest commercial broadcaster ITV said the script for a forthcoming episode of CORONATION STREET, a Manchester-based program and the country's longest-running television soap, was altered after several fans of the Glasgow club voiced displeasure at the joke.
Character Tony Gordon, played by Scottish actor Gray O'Brien, said on the show that he "could no more be interested in Rosie Webster than I could support Glasgow Rangers''.
According to an ITV spokesman, the dialogue seemed "to have caused some upset''.
As such, one of the character's lines in an upcoming episode - that he was allergic to "warm beer, the English national anthem and Glasgow Rangers'' - has now been dropped.
CADY MCCLAIN's "fondess for McCain" but Obama "better President"
"I can tell you I have a fondness for McCain myself. There is something very sweet about him and I am in awe of his record as a soldier and committed citizen. However, Obama is so bright, so talented, so positive about re-building the country and uplifting our spirits, I feel he might be a better president for this time in our country. The good news is whoever loses will remain fighting the good fight in the senate, and lots of work needs to be done there as well."
REVIEW: "The Night Carter Was Bad"
Jon Sobel writes: "Tom Baran (Casey, SCRIPTS & SCRUPLES; Tony, AS THE WORLD TURNS) plays the roommate with sly humor, making the most of his character's broad physicality and relatively limited opportunity for development. Most important, he makes us laugh — a lot."
