NEWS: Eileen Fulton, Marie Wilson, Lindsay Hartley, Jordi Vilasuso

Daytime legend Eileen Fulton on the infamous Granny clause
In an interview with NPR, Fulton recalls: "I remembered seeing Barbara Berjer, who played Claire Cassen. They grew up her daughter and granddaughter and a lot of people. Here she is looking so beautiful and suddenly they realized, my God, she’s going to be a great grandmother on our show. We have to kill her. So they hit her with a truck. I thought: Wait a minute. That is not going to happen to me."

Marie Wilson cast in second season of WORKSHOP
Wilson joins the web series which was nominated for "Best Indie Web Series (Comedy)" at the 1st Annual Indie Soap Awards. Our friends at Daytime Confidential, Jamey Giddens and Luke Kerr, have joined the production team as well as associate producers.

Vilasuso (Tony, GUIDING LIGHT) and Hartley (Arianna, DAYS OF OUR LIVES; Theresa, PASSIONS) will be joining the cast as Griffin Castillo and Cara Finn. Look for Vilasuso to pop up on Monday, November 15, and Hartley to follow on Wednesday, December 8.

Cast of LONE STAR feeling at home in Dallas as it stands in for Houston, Midland
"Although it's shot in Dallas, LONE STAR is set in Houston and Midland (a Fair Park house doubles as the Midland location), a dual setting that's fitting for a show that's largely about dualities. Bob/Robert's double life is at the core -- and he's more conscience-stricken about it than you might expect, considering he is a con man -- but there are dualities throughout, many of them soap-opera staples: Two women from different backgrounds in love with the same man (Eloise Mumford plays Lindsay, the Midland woman). Two father figures who are sworn enemies. Two brothers (Mark Deklin and Bryce Johnson as Voight's sons) with disparate temperaments and levels of cynicism."

New gay character added to GLEE
The new season's sixth episode will introduce a character named Blair. He is a gay high school junior described as masculine, sexy, charismatic and handsome — in other words, a perfect match for Kurt. Blair will recur (and sing!) in more than one episode in a storyline that finds him competing against New Directions in an opposing Glee club.

Successful Business Plans Slowly Emerge for Web Series
