In real, it was just a joke : this Monday, November 22, Vincent Irizarry (ex-Dr. Scott Clark) came back from the dead in the soap opera All my Children !
Killed last September (see the News of 09/09), his character of Dr. David Hayward is finally not dead. Just to keep the ABC viewers in suspense, Vincent was forbidden, as the entire team of the show, to reveal the trickery before his surprising return to the screen. Well played Vincent, and welcome back to Pine Valley !

It is with sadness that we learned the death of Michelle NiCastro last November 04. The actress had played three roles in Santa Barbara : Cybill Jordan in 1986, Illiana in 1988, and especially in a more sustainable way Sasha Schmidt between 1989 and 1990.
Michelle was also known and appreciated for her talents as a singer : in musicals on stage, or as a dubber in musical cartoons. She had released four albums during her career.
A breast cancer has taken her away at the age of 50, leaving behind her a husband, Steve Stark, and two daughters. All our condolences to her family and loved ones.
