Daytime Dish: As the World Turns Canceled by CBS
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Daytime, Drama, CBS, Cancellations,
Come next September, CBS will have a new hole to fill on its daytime calendar. That’s the month As the World Turns will come to its end.
Today’s cancellation announcement comes just three months after Guiding Light officially closed up shop. World, like Light, has been on the air for over 50 years.
“We are disappointed and saddened by the news that the show is not being renewed,” exec producer Chris Goutman said. “It will certainly be a loss for all of us, and for the show’s loyal audience.”

Daytime Dish: Marlena and John Cut from Days of Our Lives
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Daytime, Drama, NBC, News,
One of daytime’s popular soaps has just been hit with two of the most dreaded words today: budget cuts.
In hopes of keeping Days of Our Lives up and running for at least another 18 months, the sudser’s producers have been forced to make a few difficult decisions. Unfortunately for fans, that means saying goodbye to two of the show’s longest-running characters: Marlena Evans and John Black.
Despite some work on other projects, actress Deidre Hall has been with the 43-year-old NBC program since 1976. Her on-and-off daytime husband, Drake Hogestyn, joined DOOL back in 1986.

Genie Francis Returning to General Hospital
Posted by Jacci Lewis Categories: Daytime, Drama, ABC, General Hospital, Announcements, News,
Genie Francis, one half of daytime’s famed duo ‘Luke and Laura’, is returning to General Hospital, albeit briefly.
Francis will reprise her role as “Laura"on the ABC soap beginning August 26. Francis told the Associated Press the stint will be short and will deal mainly with her relationship with daughter Lulu Spencer (played by Emmy-nominated actress Julie Marie Berman). Genie Francis also indicated that she would resurrect her role as Laura on a more permanent basis if offered. “I would stay on, but General Hospital honestly doesn’t seem to want that relationship with this character at the moment. They want little short doses during sweeps periods. It’s not entirely up to me. I’m thrilled and delighted my audience stands behind me. If they didn’t, you can be sure I wouldn’t get to come back for these visits.”

Tamara Braun, Ex-Carly from ‘General Hospital’ Joins ‘Days Of Our Lives’
Posted by Jacci Lewis Categories: Daytime, Drama, Prime Time, ABC, CBS, NBC, General Hospital,
It sure pays to play a Carly on ABC’s General Hospital. Yet another ex-Carly returns to the soap opera world tomorrow, this time on NBC’s Days of Our Lives.
Tamara Braun, who played Carly Benson-Roberts Corinthos on General Hospital from 2001-2005 arrives in Salem on Friday, February 8.
Braun’s character is Ava, described as a ‘mystery woman’ from Steve “Patch” Johnson’s past. If history is any indication, Days fans should warm up to her fast.
When Tamara Braun joined ABC’s General Hospital in 2001 she took over the role of a pivotal, established character. The actress who originated Carly in the 90’s, Sarah Brown was and still is a fan favorite. Brown just returned to Port Charles in an entirely new role as Claudia Zacchara.

‘Biggest Loser’ Signed on for Fifth Season
Posted by Wendy Michaels Categories: Prime Time, Reality, NBC, Renewals,
Who would have imagined that a show called The Biggest Loser would continue to be such a success? I remember the first season, thinking “no way that show is going to last.” I’ve got news for you. This show has staying power… the latest proof is the announcement that the show has been renewed for a fifth season. The show takes overweight folks and puts them through their paces—with huge results. I’ve never really watched a full season, but I enjoy tuning in at the end to see the before and after shots. It’s amazing to me that these people can work so hard and make big changes in their lives. Makes me wonder how come I can’t even manage to lose 10 pounds and stick to any kind of exercise schedule. According to Craig Plestis, the head of alternative series at NBC, “The Biggest Loser’ continues to be a top performer and important franchise for NBC, and season four is already off to a great start. We look forward to the fifth cycle of the show, and continuing to entertain and inspire viewers all over the country.” The show averaged 7.85 million viewers so far this season. Next season promises to add a new spin, with teams of competitors (rather than individuals) looking to collectively lose weight. Production begins later this fall, with the intention to air it early in 2008. Allison Sweeney, star of Days of Our Lives, will be returning as the host.
