She won ! After six unsuccessful nominations between 2000 and 2011, Nancy Lee Grahn finally won a second Daytime Emmy award in the category outstanding supporting actress, 23 years after the one she had won in 1989 for her part of Julia Wainwright in Santa Barbara !
Only one small disappointment : the actress was not present at the ceremony, which happened on June 23 in Los Angeles. She had indeed taken other commitments well before to know the date of the ceremony. It is the actress Finola Hughes who accepted the award on her behalf.
Less luck on the other hand for Crystal Chappell (ex-Jane Kingsley in 1990) in the category outstanding lead actress, who came-back empty-handed.

Eileen Davidson (ex-Kelly Capwell) fired from The Young and the Restless ? This is at least the information that the actress released today on her Tweeter account.
She came back there in 1999, alternating periods under contract as a regular actress or as a simple recurring actress, even going to spend six months in The Bold and Beautiful in 2007 (see the News of 02/02/2007), always in her part of Ashley Abbott.
Rumors say she is on the starting line to join Days of our Lives, that she left in 1998 after five years of loyal service. To be continued...

Return on the screen for Gordon Thomson (ex-Mason Capwell) ! Like many of his former partners of Santa Barbara, it is in a web series, Devanity, that the actor will make his comeback.

The pilots season began in the United States : Eric Close (ex-Sawyer Walker) just shot in Nashville, a show planned for the 2012-2013 season on the network ABC.
Eric plays Teddy James, the husband of a country singer whose career is on the decline. At his side, Connie Britton and Hayden Panettiere.
A few more weeks to see if ABC will give the green light for a full season of this upcoming series.
It would be a chance for Eric Close to return to a regular role, two years after the end of Without a Trace and the cancellation of Chaos last year after only 13 episodes.

The magazine Soap Opera Weekly has ceased its publication. Created in November 1989, the "little brother" of famous Soap Opera Digest met financial difficulties for several years now, especially due to the press crisis. The interest of its readers had also declined following the fall in the number of soap-operas still broadcast on American television : they are only 4 today, against 19 in the 70s.
Santa Barbara : le site Francais continues to republish some articles of the magazine in the section Press articles.

We considered her definitively converted in real estate (see the News of 09/23/2011), but Terri Garber (ex-Suzanne Collier) did not say her last word as an actress !
Terri has indeed joined the cast of the last two episodes of the web series Miss Behave. Multi-awarded, the series returns on June 24 for its final conclusion on the web.
But everything is not ended for all that, because a spinoff is being prepared for next year. And it is planned that in Reign, Terri Garber takes back in a regularly way her part of Elizabeth Archer.
We will not thus stop watching Terri Garber on our screens (albeit on computers), and for our biggest pleasure !
