Cady McClain meets with Queens of Drama about joining Season 2 cast
Said McClain, who most recently played Kelly Andrews on The Young and the Restless: "So I just had a meeting with the folks from @QueensofDrama. I thought they were really cool people, and I enjoyed talking about their show and what I might have to offer. No matter what happens, I really hope that the women are successful in making their created show a hit. I think that would be so great for them and for all of daytime. I guess I always root for the underdog and I probably always will."

Review: Former Guiding Light co-stars Kim Zimmer and Robert Newman shine in Pittsburgh Civic Light Opera's 'Gypsy'
"It's not just a gimmick to stoke box-office interest. Their long history of working together allows Newman and Zimmer to play well off each other. Newman's Herbie is Rose's laid-back aider and abettor. He's good humored and warm until pushed past endurance. Zimmer is dynamic and energized throughout this three-hour musical, never letting go of her objective from her opening number 'Some People' to the emotional 'Rose's Turn' that is the show's true finale."

EastEnders' June Brown refuses to go part time insisting "I'll play Dot till I’m in my 90s!"
"The producers are very conscious of the demands of the schedule, and quietly suggested they could limit the amount of time she needs to spend on set. June has just come back from a break after the very demanding murder trial storyline which saw her take center stage for hours of television, but she's as raring to go as ever."
