First I want to thank the many of you who sent emails and responded out here in support of Nathaniel Marston (please know that I also respect those of you who felt differently and I mean that.....I hope you feel the same). It meant a lot to see that not everybody had a torch in hand before allowing Nathaniel his day in court. Innocent until proven guilty. Isn't that what we are supposed to stand for? I won't go into another diatribe on this however there is something I would like to clarify if I may. Many have brought up an incident that occurred between Nathaniel and an ATM machine (thank God nobody taped me destroying my Saks card when I wasn't allow to buy yet another $600.00 dress a few years back or I might be the one on trial). When the tape was shown in court the judge actually asked why they were even there. It was that ridiculous and overblown. It was thrown out (apparently it has found it's way into a new court system known affectionately as the Internet). Next thing we'll be hearing is that Nathaniel went on a rampage and slapped a tip into the pizza delivery guys hands so hard he had to go on disability. I wouldn't be surprised. In any event thank you. Nathaniel has been taken off schedule until ABC has had a chance to breathe after trying to deal with what is now known as the scandal of the century. Ted Kennedy eat your heart out. Your small potato's kid.
Nearly everyone guessed who I was talking about when I said that a younger leading lady would be leaving Llanview despite protests to the contrary leaving Langston in charge. Melissa Gallo (Adriana) is indeed set to exit even though we got massive denials from her camp exactly three months back (reminds me of the James Scott/Ethan/AMC situation to a tee). I told you that Scott was being let go and received nothing but denials and yet three months later he was indeed gone. It's why I constantly harp on this and you're probably getting tired of hearing it but you have to understand the actors position. They cannot legally confirm they are leaving even if half their bags are packed. They can only confirm it when the networks give them the green light to do so. Many deny it until the bitter end. There are so many examples it would take up this entire column. I am amazed that people actually believe what someone says at an event or in a magazine when asked about a casting rumor. They would have to be mentally challenged to blurt out delicate information like this so that they can get called into Fron's office come Monday morning. It's not that hard to understand. All we can do is tell you what we are hearing behind the scenes and just wait for the outcome. We have no way of knowing for absolute certainty what may or may not change from the time we hear scuttle on it from backstage. I've tried contacting Sylvia Brown to see if she's interested in co-writing my column but she hasn't returned my calls......(smirk)...
Natalie finds love once again. This path will be a twisted one before coming to that fork in the road. Under his tough and macho exterior beats the heart of a misunderstood man and Natalie is determined to cut through Jared's mighty armor one way or another (this guy really is Ryan Lavery isn't he). Once Jared's connection is made known Natalie will have to deal with quite the shock (as will most of Llanview).
As I told you Pine Valley has yet another tragic event coming it's way unless your letters can overturn that conviction before it plays out. This one is bound to frustrate fans even more who have written in droves asking for the spirit of the show to be lifted. All is doom, gloom and same ole same ole. Fans have had enough and ABC is aware of your unhappiness trust me. That leading man who is set to exit should be so obvious at this point that it's not even funny. I wish I could just blurt out his name but suffice to say most of you got it the first time around. The panic button went off even more so when the intense one saw his co-stars heading out to bigger and better things while he remains locked into a role that has begun to bore him (and us). He's a very talented young actor who will probably do quite well out there so we wish him the best nameless though he may be (for now).
I told you not to count Lulu and Johnny out just yet on GH. Anthony Zacharra's secret will be a shocker. Kate gets closer to someone that complicates life with Sonny. Spinelli soon finds himself in a predicament he could have never imagined (when it rains it pours). Things are not what they seem but the damage is done nonetheless where Nikolas is concerned. Sam's game catches up with her when she finds herself developing real feelings for Lucky. Trevor continues to muddy the waters (damn this guys sexy.....I wouldn't shed any tears if he stuck around indefinitely). He can muddy up my waters any day...lol.....
