INTERVIEW: Y&R's Sharon Case
"Maria Arena Bell told me it’d be a long wait for a Nick and Sharon reunion. You want to play all the beats in the drama. I learned Nick and Sharon would be [drawn into each other’s orbit] in October. I thought it would take six months for us to reunite, but I’m happy with how it’s developing. I think Nick and Sharon have a long way to go before they realize their happily ever after."

Deep Soap: The Birth of Exec-Fic
Sara Bibel writes: "P&G/Televest may be losing GUIDING LIGHT, but it’s gaining a toehold in the fan-fic business. In a sweet, surprising and not remotely profitable move, the production company is bringing back ANOTHER WORLD as an interactive blog. Picking up in the present, a decade after the show’s cancellation, the well written first chapter fills readers in on what has happened to the characters in the past ten years. The website promises that a new chapter will be posted every week and fans will have the chance to vote on future plot points. It’s a rare instance of a media company producing a professional version of an amateur phenomenon."

"While in college, Phillips became pregnant at nineteen. She was unmarried at the time, and in 1920 she probably felt like the most isolated person in the world. The baby was stillborn, and she sought guidance from the medium that would make her famous, the radio. She listened to sermons about how we weren’t all alone, that there must be light somewhere, and we had to help others just as much we had to help ourselves. She called her new show THE GUIDING LIGHT."

Yvnonne Perry: Waking Up at Last
"Today was sunny and hot for April. My husband took off a few hours from work in the middle of the day, and we walked for miles through the neighborhood. Talking and laughing. When we got back home, we stripped off our clothes and jumped into our pool. The water was cold. Cape Cod ocean cold. It seemed like the silicone in my chest was freezing into two large ice cubes. Another thing that has changed about my body. The old boobs floated and bobbed freely. Swimming topless used to be like instant relief. But today in the pool , as I looked at my scarred, naked body and my solid, immovable new breasts. . . it was still difficult to feel badly."
