MAJOR CRIMES star Mary McDonnell reflects on playing Claudia Colfax on AS THE WORLD TURNS in 1980
"Oh, my God! Okay, here it is: I’m going to try to do word association. I’m standing in front of a wall, a piece of a wall, with a pay phone on every episode I played, putting a dime or a quarter or something into the phone and calling the character who was the lead in the show (Colleen Zenk's Barbara Ryan) about her baby, who I was secretly raising. But I had a boyfriend who was beating me up, so I was always in tears or, like, bruised. That’s what I remember. The other thing I remember about it was being jubilant, because I was making money, and I could actually take my boyfriend at the time out to dinner." [Laughs]

ALL MY CHILDREN alum Aiden Turner arrested for remote control domestic violence
Turner got into a beef with his girlfriend at their Hollywood apartment and he allegedly threw a remote control at her and hit her eye, cutting it slightly and giving her a souvenir -- a shiner.

Law enforcement sources say Turner will very likely dodge the felony bullet. TMZ reports it's highly probable the case will be filed as a misdemeanor because the injuries were minor.
