INTERVIEW: AMC's David Canary (Adam/Stuart)On today's reveal on AMC that Stuart was the murder victim, not Adam: "I’m not going to say I’m glad this happened, because I’m not. I will miss Stuart, and I hope the crowd really responds to what’s happened to him. [AMC creator] Agnes Nixon pretty much gave me carte blanche with the guy when she created him 25 years ago. I used my own son, Chris, as inspiration—back then he was two years old, now he’s in graduate school! I built Stuart upon Chris’ sweetness and innocence. I especially looked to him when I needed to play Stuart’s childlike readiness to accept everything as truth. Stuart was probably the only character in soaps who was incapable of telling a lie. Adam always used him as a crutch. Adam could be his worst self and Stuart would come in to clean up the mess."

GOSSIP GIRL: After two seasons of elite sex and scheming, the classmates finally graduated. Is there life after high school?
"After two seasons of school uniforms, lunchtime-seating confrontations and expulsion plotlines, the CW soap opera's characters finally graduated from high school. Serena, Chuck, Blair, Nate and Dan all said goodbye to their elite, Upper East Side school as they prepared to depart for Columbia, Brown or, in most cases, NYU. But unfortunately, as with any real-life graduation, the result was more muddled and chaste than hoped for -- and considerably less satisfying."
Like so many long-time soap viewers, I totally called it as Stuart, and not Adam. It's not as if we didn't see this exact, same story line on DOOL with Marlena and her twin, about 25 years ago.
