Dawson and Gareis are this week's Gold Standard
Tommy Garrett of the L.A. Canyon News writes: "This week’s Gold Standard goes to Trent Dawson who portrays Henry Coleman on CBS’s AS THE WORLD TURNS, and Jennifer Gareis who is Donna Logan Forrester on THE BOLD AND THE BEAUTIFUL. The two stars could not have had different storylines this week, but they both shined through the clouded emotions their alter egos were going through."
