Soap opera

Michael Nader, who died of cancer at the age of 76, was a crush on 1980s television, appearing in the glitzy American soap opera Dynasty as Dex Dexter, who for a time “tamed “Alexis, the ‘super slut’ played by Joan Collins, in the TV talk at the time. Dynasty’s ratings had skyrocketed with the introduction of Collins at the start of the show’s second series in 1981. His character sought revenge on her first husband, the ruthless oil billionaire Blake Carrington (played by John Forsythe).

In 1983, after his short-lived marriage to Blake’s business competitor Cecil Colby (Lloyd Bochner) – he died of a heart attack within minutes of the wedding – Nader arrived in Denver, Colorado, as a grown-up, broad-shouldered, square-jawed mining engineer Dex, acting for the family business.

Dex and Alexis were immediately drawn to each other and the two became lovers. Their relationship was tumultuous and Nader added to the drama already bordering on your seats when he showed that Dex – remarkable most of the time to be honest, unlike most of those around him – had the measure. of Alexis.

Dex then slept with his daughter, Amanda (Catherine Oxenberg), when the couple were snowed in at a ski lodge, before marrying Alexis in 1985. For a while, increasingly sensational stories saw Dynasty overtake. Dallas, his American rival with Larry Hagman. as satan in a JR Ewing stetson, both in US ratings and in world audience numbers.

As Collins fought for the top with the other wealthy and glamorous women, the character of Nader, a former green beret, sprang into action when Moldovan rebels launched an attack on the chapel where Amanda married the Prince of Moldova. (Michael Praed).

Alexis finally filed for divorce in 1987 after meeting Dex and Amanda in bed together, but he stayed in Denver to work on a Carrington-Colby pipeline project. The couple were never able to completely sever their bond as Dex continued to search for Alexis – and they briefly resumed their relationship. “He remains the most caring and yet the most macho of men,” wrote television critic Hilary Kingsley.

The couple’s fate was literally left hanging in the last episode of Dynasty, in 1989, when Alexis approached Dex about his affair with his cousin Sable (Stephanie Beacham) and they both fell from the balcony of ‘hotel.

Nader was born in St Louis, Missouri, to Minnette (née Glogovac) and John Nader, a descendant of Lebanese immigrants. Her uncle was George Nader, a B-movie actor whose partner, Mark Miller, later became Rock Hudson’s personal secretary.

Several months after Michael’s birth, his parents separated and he moved to Los Angeles with his mother, who became a backing vocalist for Lena Horne. He was struck by a drunk motorist at the age of six and underwent cosmetic surgery, but left a scar on his cheek.

A rebel at Palisades Charter high school, he finds a release in surfing in Malibu. “You have a pair of boxers, the ocean, a board under you – and no regulations,” Nader said.

Leaving school at 18, his surfing skills and tall, slim and athletic figure led him to participate in the film. Beach party (1963), a musical comedy marketed with the phrase, “This is what happens when 10,000 children meet on 5,000 beach blankets!”

It launched the colorful teen beach party phenomenon to the big screen, starring popular actor-singers Frankie Avalon and Annette Funicello. Over the next two years, Nader appeared in seven other films in the series, including Bingo beach blanket (1965), with Linda Evans playing a “beach bunny” and a rising singer. He went from being one of the crowd to star roles.

He then landed a semi-regular role on the sitcom Gidget (1965-66) as Siddo, a school friend of the surf-crazed teenager from Sally Field.

Outside of Dynasty, Nader was best known in his homeland for his roles in two daytime soap operas, first as Kevin Thompson, a worker at a mining company, in As the world turns (1976-78). He later plays the mysterious Hungarian Count Dimitri Marick in All my children (1991-2001) but was fired after being arrested for possession of an illegal substance, which led to him entering rehab. Years earlier, he had admitted to using marijuana and psychedelic drugs as a teenager as part of a “spiritual quest.” He made a comeback as Dimitri for over 40 episodes in 2013.

Nader’s first two marriages, to Robin Weiss (1984-90) and Beth Windsor (1992-94), ended in divorce. He is survived by his third wife, Jodi Lister, whom he married in 2004, and Lindsay, the daughter of his first marriage.

It has also been confirmed that Melissa Reeves will return to DAYS as Jennifer Horton Deveraux during the holiday season. Cady McClain reprized Jennifer’s role in the soap opera last October when Reeves opted out of commuting from Tennessee to California during the COVID-19 pandemic.

General hospital

General Hospital has finally confirmed that Cameron Mathison will play Drew Cain, twin brother of Jason Morgan (Steve Burton) and ex-husband of Sam McCall (Kelly Monaco). The actor, best known to daytime audiences for his portrayal of Ryan Lavery in All My Children, premieres this week. Billy Miller created the role of Drew in 2014 until the character was presumed dead in a plane crash in 2019.

The soap opera news reveals that Charles Shaughnessy of The Nanny’s fame is joining GH in an undisclosed contract role which will debut in September. Shaughnessy previously played Holly’s (Emma Samms) cousin, Alistair Durban, in 1984. He also played Shane Donovan and Drew Donovan in Days of our Lives.

Carly Corinthos (Laura Wright) and Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) daughter Donna has been aged. Twins Ella and Emma Hulen, who shared baby Donna’s chores, are out and Ava Rose is the new toddler.

Gigi Bermingham ended her quick gig as Naomi Berlin, the mother of Hayden Barnes (Rebecca Budig). The character was murdered.

The young and the restless

Melissa Claire Egan, who reportedly left The Young and the Restless on maternity leave in July, hadn’t completely finished filming. Sometimes she had come to the studio to film some quick recordings in Chelsea. The actress is now officially done, having posted a photo of herself on Twitter on August 11 with the message “Last working selfie for a while!”

Elizabeth Leiner ended her career as Tara Locke, a role she started playing in March. His character was last seen being taken away in handcuffs for tax evasion. Please note that broadcast dates may be subject to change.

As “the one person in my entire lineage who wanted to be in the entertainment business,” Reylynn Caster, who plays suddenly 16-year-old Faith in YOUNG AND RESTLESS, started early growing up in Kansas. “I played a local play at the Scottish Rite [Signature] Theater in Wichita when I was about 7, and as soon as I got involved I knew playing the part was something that should be a part of my life, ”says the 18-year-old actress. “I felt I had no choice but to keep doing more theater, a bunch of commercials and a few local independent films.”

At the age of 10, Caster signed with a Los Angeles-based talent representation for television and film shoot. “I was constantly sending out auto-cassettes from Kansas and getting positive feedback, but I never booked a role because I lived in Wichita and a lot of productions in LA wanted to hire locally. After three years of refusal, Caster’s parents made the big decision to boost their daughter’s aspirations. “They decided to move to California so I could jump right into show business instead of just putting a toe.” Caster adapted to LA both personally (“I was 13, and at that age you’re figuring out who you are; it was a big step for me, but it went really well. passed and I quickly made friends’) and professionally, soon landing a regular serial role on the CBS sitcom ME MYSELF & I, which starred comedy veterans John Larroquette (NIGHT COURT), Bobby Moynihan (SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE) and Jaleel White (FAMILY MATTERS). “Being on this show was such a great learning experience for me and I made lifelong friendships,” the actress enthuses.

Although this show was quickly deleted, more comedy concerts followed, much to Caster’s surprise. She explains, “I didn’t expect to do comedy when I moved to Los Angeles, so I wasn’t very comfortable with it at first. It was the type of auditions I had to spend a little more time on and I wasn’t sure if I was even good at it. Obviously she was and expanded her credits to include a recurring role on AMERICAN HOUSEWIFE and a regular role in Netflix’s THE BIG SHOW SHOW, her first multicamera series shot in front of a live audience. “It was really fun,” she says. “It was so much like doing theater because you could feel the energy of the audience and get instant gratification if a joke landed.”

When the pandemic hit in 2020, that show was canceled. “There were so many factors that came into play,” Caster presumes. “The most important thing was that it came out right before the Covid hit and suddenly our show couldn’t have a live audience and there was a huge team and it would have been very difficult to produce with the restrictions of Covid. Netflix didn’t know what was going on with many of their shows, so many were canceled, including ours. “

The unfortunate fate of this series ultimately led her to Genoa City. “I hadn’t worked for a while because of the pandemic and I really wanted to get back to the drama because I had done comedy for so many years,” she notes. So when the opportunity to try Y&R presented itself, she jumped at the chance. “Although soaps are something I’ve never done before, I still want to try everything I can. My mom loves soaps and I used to sit at home when they came to watch them with her. She loved YOUNG AND RESTLESS and DAYS OF OUR LIVES, and she was really excited when I auditioned for Y&R, but we had no idea which character.

This is because the sides Caster received were under a false name. “I found out later that the scenes they sent me were the ones that Aly [Alyn Lind, ex-Faith] had done, and already broadcast, ”she recalls. “I remember thinking it was a lot of lines and now, looking back, it was nothing! I made a sticker in my bedroom against one of my white walls with my iPhone, a tripod and a ring light. After sending this they wanted to do a screen test, which we did on Zoom. It ended up being a chemistry read with Joshua [Morrow, Nick] and Jacob [Aaron Gaines, Moses]. “An hour later, ‘They called my agent and my manager with an offer,” she beams. “It was the fastest turnaround for a role I’ve ever got. There was a lot of. excitement! “

With Faith taking center stage when Lind left, Caster’s initiation was difficult. “It was a bit overwhelming the first few days,” she admits. “I was a little intimidated looking at those scripts and seeing how many lines I had and knowing that I only had one day to learn the material and then get up the next day to start all over!” Not to mention that it came as a replacement for a beloved predecessor. “There was a bit of pressure because I didn’t want to let anyone down. I’m human, so I want people to like me.

Still, she’s grateful that she started with a bang. “I’m glad I was immersed in a really big story because I’m the type of person who likes to start with something hectic and difficult, so it can only get easier from there.” And from the start, her co-stars made her feel at home. “My first scene was with Mel [Thomas Scott, Nikki] and it was great working with her. Everyone has been very kind and supportive throughout. It didn’t take long for me to get a good impression of coming here.

This emotion has only intensified in recent months. “To be here is absolutely amazing,” says Caster. “It has been such a great learning experience and I am so excited for the future. I love Faith Newman and the woman she is becoming. I am so excited and grateful to be able to represent her. I think everyone who works on Y&R is amazing and I’m having a great time.

To hear Reylynn Caster say it, she hit the jackpot when it comes to actors in her Y&R milieu. Here it weighs on a few of them.

Eric Braeden (Victor): “He’s great. The scenes we had together were a lot of fun. As everyone knows, he’s extremely talented. He’s really great to work with him.

Jacob Aaron Gaines (Moses): “Jacob is awesome. He is so much fun and very talented. He didn’t do much before he came to Y&R but you wouldn’t know. The scenes with him are my favorite. Moses is very important to Faith because he entered her life when she was at its lowest. She had no friends and he was there for her.

Mark Grossman (Adam): “I didn’t know he had only been on the show for a few years because he was so natural I assumed he had been there for so long. He is great. He is really professional but also a lot of fun. He is extremely talented. My very first scene with him was really intense because we didn’t know each other but our characters are family so it was really great working together to create chemistry even though Mark and I don’t have a story.

Joshua Morrow (Nick): “It is amazing and so much fun to work with him. He really enjoys having a good time.

Did you know?

✿ Caster had to give up his natural brunette hair color for his new job. “I had my hair bleached and the next day I started on Y&R.”

✿ The actress graduated from high school last May and plans to continue her education. “I want to work in the industry no matter what, but playing is really unpredictable, so I want to have a back-up plan. I’ll be taking college classes this fall, but being on a soap opera is pretty demanding, so I’m probably only going to take a few classes and take it slow.

Just the facts:

Birthday: 3rd of March

Place of birth: Wichita, KS

What’s in a name? “I am actually asked [about its origin] a lot. My parents said they wanted me to have a really unique name and they heard a similar sounding name so they found Reylynn on their own.

Team A: She has an older brother, Anthony, and an older sister, Amanda.

Relationship Status: Recently celebrated her first birthday with boyfriend Armani Jackson. “He’s on the TBS CHAD show. We are both players so we understand the industry. We met through mutual friends and I’ve known him for four or five years. It was always platonic, until it wasn’t!

TV rate: “I’m obsessed with MONEY HEIST, and I also love the COOLING ADVENTURES OF SABRINA, both of which are on Netflix.”

The rhythm continues: “I am self-taught on guitar and piano. I write music and sing and hope to record some songs someday.

As for his own musical tastes, “I am obsessed with Phoebe Bridgers and love Lana Del Rey.” Kick Backs: “I love painting, hiking and shopping at thrift stores. Everything I consider peaceful is my pleasure.

Since the airing of his first series of “Y&R” episodes, Hopkins landed a starring role in the NBC pilot, “Dangerous Moms”. In the potential series, Hopkins appears alongside Linda Park, Vanessa Marano, Shanola hampton and Dascha Polanco when a group of diverse mothers accidentally kill their school’s PTA queen bee while demonstrating a new high-end food processor.

I knew Valentine living at the Quartermaine mansion was going to be fun from the moment he asked, “What’s the bidet situation like in this house?” “Wasn’t that great? It comes from the writers. I thought it was so out of left field; I thought to myself, “Where does this come from? But why not!’ Also, Amandine [Setton, Brook Lynn] has done so many sitcoms that when we’re on set together it’s really contagious. I feel like I’m back on Must-See TV, Thursday nights on NBC again. When that line came out, I felt like we were on an episode of MAD ABOUT YOU or something.

I also like the addition of Cyrus Hobbi as Yuri, the bodyguard that Valentin hired for Brook Lynn. “Isn’t he wonderful? For me, he is the only performer, in recent memory, who did not exaggerate from the start. As soon as he arrived on stage, he was at the perfect level. He didn’t do much, he didn’t try to outshine me when the cameras were on, it was perfect! And I remember telling him, and I said to Frank [Valentini, executive producer], too, ‘I don’t meet such confident people!’ This guy is a find. I don’t know what he is doing, he maybe practices meditation eight days a week, I don’t know why he is so calm, but it works!

I noticed that Valentin seemed to genuinely appreciate his place at the front row of the circus when Austin revealed he was a Quartermaine. “I waited years to do scenes with Roger [Howarth, Austin]. I find it fascinating. The first time Valentine met this character, it wasn’t particularly related to what Valentine was doing at the moment. He didn’t find it particularly interesting [laughs]. But now it has come in handy to Valentine [as a potential swing vote in ELQ board meetings] and this is where things start to change.

As viewers, we know heartbreak awaits Valentine, who has unwittingly fallen in love with a baby he believes is his, but isn’t. What do you think of this twist? “Playing without being informed is difficult because it’s just such a weak choice of actor. Having said that, obviously in a soap opera situation the idea is that the very thing that has been the catalyst for any change in Valentine’s life is his daughter, and the idea of ​​him having another is just more. that wonderful for him. It’s going to be very tragic when he finds out the truth.

In the meantime, you can just rack up sympathy points and coo in front of this sweet little baby! “That’s right! A year and a half ago, Valentine was cocky and manipulative and he was on the verge of cruelty and he just got caught in his knees. I find it so fascinating that he received a strong dose of humiliation and instead of using it for more fuel to punish he actually took the opportunity to become a better man on his own.We shoot scenes wherever he gets a chance to surprise himself by how much he wants to redeem himself for certain situations. I did a scene with Josh [Swickard, Chase] like that which was really fun- Josh and Chad [Duell, Michael] and I can rarely walk through a scene together without dying, bursting into peals of laughter and laughter – but Valentine was alone in a room with Chase and he realized he didn’t want to pass up the opportunity to mention that he feels personally responsible for what happened to him [Peter poisoning him] and he needed to say something. And it’s my boy Valentin growing up a bit. Can’t wait to see if it survives the betrayal [laughs]! “

Yes General hospital viewers were playing a drinking game they had to blow into whenever Hayden’s name was mentioned, they would all pass out at the end of any recent episode. Shawn’s determination to find out who really shot the beauty – not to mention Nikolas’ desire to keep the truth from coming out – led her to be the most mentioned invisible character since Norm’s wife Vera, the Cheers.

But on August 6, we get closer to what appears to be the inevitable return of Hayden and her performer, Rebecca Budig. Why? Because it’s the day Hayden’s mother Naomi Dreyfus shows up. While the role has been played in the past by Robin Riker (perhaps best known to soap fans for her time as Brooke’s mother, Beth, on Love glory and beauty), Naomi will this time be played by Gigi Birmingham.

Following: The legend of the days heads to Port Charles

Birmingham is no stranger to the day. In fact, in 2006, she played Dr. Lois Banks, a psychopath who has repeatedly tried to get rid of everyone’s favorite soap shrink, Days of our lives“Marlene!

Naomi, you may remember, is the wife of Raymond Berlin’s ex-wife… that’s where things get a bit tricky, in true soap style. Because although Hayden Barnes’s real name is Rachel Berlin, if she took her real father’s name she would be Rachel Webber given that she is actually the product of an affair between Naomi and Dr Jeff Webber.

While it’s unclear if or when Budig’s Hayden will return to Port Charles, it seems almost inevitable that the search for his shooter will lead to the character’s return. And the timing certainly couldn’t be better, with half-sister Elizabeth getting closer every day to Finn, who happens to be Hayden’s ex and father to her adorable daughter, Violet.

Following: New details on Cameron Mathison’s GH character

What do you think, the cast of detectives? Is this appearance of Hayden’s mother just a coincidence or does it open the door to the character’s return?
