Hosted by The Bold and the Beautiful’s Jacqueline MacInnes. Wood, each episode will focus on one glamorous location where Jacqui will spend 48 hours checking out the incredible vistas, tasting the delectable cocktails and cuisine, and trying out the often extreme activities that make each destination one-of-a-kind. Along the way, Jacqui will meet celebrities, jet-setters and local legends who will join her two-day adventure and keep the party going as she experiences the best of the best of each hotspot. The new weekly series  will debut late 2013 only on E!

Party On is a bold, fun VIP tour of the most sparkling party destinations on the planet,” said Jeff Olde, Executive Vice President, Programming & Development, E! “We are excited to take viewers around the globe and behind the velvet ropes for fun in the sun at only the hottest, most elite vacation locales.”

Each episode will bring viewers a partier’s-eye-view of these sexy VIP vacation hubs filled with swimsuit-clad celebrities, popular local personalities and holiday makers who know these exotic destinations inside and out, and offer an all access pass to the best parties in town.

David Granger, of the production company Monkey Kingdom, said of Wood: “Jacqui is a brilliant host and we all see a wonderful opportunity to produce something very new and different given the high end glamour and sun soaked mischief that Europe has to offer.”

Horrid network e! had a show similar to this hosted by tara reid called “taradise”. Is this really a good move for wood’s acting career?

So excited for Jacqui to get this hosting gig, can’t wait for the show!

Yes, I will totally watch every show, but I wish she would go back to B&B soon also. The show really has went down the drain without her!! B&B NEEDS her BAD or they are gong to die and be the next show that is gone!!

Totally Agree, I stopped taping that show, it is so boring.

I AGREE!!!!

Glad for Jacqui! Miss her terribly on B&B! Depending on you dear Michael to tell us the second she is to return.

So proud of Jacqueline she deserves her own show such beautiful young talented SUPERSTAR I wish her every success in this show and whatever she does in the future even if it’s not B&B and if she comes back as Steffy even better that show is killing people with BOREDOM. Will always love Jacqueline and follow her career no matter what she is something SPECIAL LOVE JMW LET’S #PartyOn XO

Michael
Being friends with Jacqui is incredible and i think everyone being able to see Jacqui as herself hosting what should i say a exotic type of travel show in different countries is incredible and it is on The ” E! ” channel as well. Jacqui could not have gotten any luckier for such a great show to host. So Jacqui……… ” Party On ” you will be awesome…………..

Miss her on B&B haven’t been watching since her and Hunter Tylo left. Hope that JMW will be back soon because it’s no fun the Logans running Forrester Creations. Steffy need to come back with Ridge and shake up things. Will check out new show until she returns. Look forward to seeing you on B&B. miss u!! 🙂

I really miss her as steffy on the B&B. I cant wait for to come back and spice up the show.

Okay when does the show start? I want to watch it.

I really miss her on B&B,but I wish her well in all and anything that she does,live your dreams,always follow your heart,we as fans truly,truly, miss you, the show is tanking daily,please know we love and miss you bunches……

I love JMW I keep up with her on my facebook the show isn’t the same without steffy I hope shge comes back and makes liam melt real soon but until then I will watch all the show on E and post to all my friend who like her also to watch We had a get together party to watch her husband betrayal she rocks and wish I was with that 48n party

So happy for @JacquelineMWood hosting E! Party On! Looks like a project tailor-made for JMW and all her passions ! Can’t wait to watch it!

Yep it is PERFECT. She will rock this beyond.. Very happy, i pray she will never never return to B&B ! What a waste on there we could never seen her shine properly, and always in the same sl and with dull boring people…The only beautiful sl was with Bill and Bell ruined it to put her with the lmaeo son. I cannot believe what they did not only to her on there but to Bill…Time really has come to close that door forever!

Hi there
when is the show shell be airing on which dates and time and channel
the Party on be airing
thanks

i want to watch it

I will be on E! TV in late 2013

Please come back to bb so dull without you

I am so mega happy she deserves this, and to work in a professional environment , enjoying herself. That show only was sucking the life out of her! Now she can move on and do many different things instead to be continually “used” and “abused” to prop people who are just a dead weight! So long B&B, at last!

I actually look forward to seeing Jacqui host the Travel segment of E! Her role as Steffy is so limited and so predictable, she should continue to work outside of B&B.I caught her Lifetime moving ” A husband’s betrayal” of some sorts and I thought she was much at that role than as Steffy.

I wish her all the luck but I do agree with the first post. This move didn’t go well for Tara Reid. Hosting can lead to other things, but she should be acting……this reminds me of Hunter Tylo in a way. Hunter left the show a number of times looking for greener pastures, I assume, but even with all her beauty and charisma, I never saw her in anything else… Not all soap actors make it out of the soap world.

Hopefully Jacqui will find what she is looking for.

As a big fan of JMW I’d probably watch her read a phone book and do awesome at it. She’s that talented, and her talent shouldn’t be wasted.Tara Reid hosting that old show was just that: Tara Reid hosting. JMW will bring her own personality and spark to Party On just as she does with everything else. Hate when ppl try to knock the sucess of others down.

Love Jacqui, whatever she play at I will watch, Jacqui is one of the best actress on Television today. she will be awesome in this program,

she is an okay actress I am happy for her but I still watch B&B and the show is doing just fine actually it is hotter than ever

The show is so boring without steffie.
We love her clothes, her ideas, and most of all , her lifestyle .
The Logan’s are so annoying, bring back more of the forrester family

Miss Jacki a lot on the B & B. She needs to come back and make put Hope in her place and stop her from acting as a giddy, laughing little girl who is still in her diapers.

I WONT STEFFY TO RETURN !!!! …..I ALSO WOULD LIKE TO SEE HER PUT LIAM IN HIS PLACE BUT I JUST READ WHERE HE GETS HIS DIVORCE FROM HER SO I GUESS THAT IS THE ANSWER TO OUR QUESTIONS STEFFY IS GONE FOR GOOD …..WELL GUESS WYATT GETS HOPE AND LIAM JUST FADES OUT OF THE CAMERA …….BOOWHOWHO……BOOWHOWHO…….IM SO HEART BROKEN I SO WONTED STEFFY BACK……..WELL GOOD LUCK JMW WITH ALL YOUR FUTURE DEALS AND SHOWS

Just read that Liam gets his divorce and so disappointed that Steffy would let go so easily when she cared so much about their marriage. I understand she did it to make liam happy but Hope has feelings for Wyatt. Steffy needs to at least show up around the wedding time to stop Liam from marrying Hope. Steffy does not realize about Hope and Wyatt and Steffy is making a big mistake just giving Liam up. I was hoping that Steffy would get news of a medical cure for her so that she can have children with Liam and swoop in at the last second and get her man. Steffy always told Liam that he would be happier with her than with Hope. I still believe that is true and cant wait til’ Steffy returns. If she could bring “Ridge (Ron Moss) back with her and Taylor that would just turn the whole show upside down but for the better. It would have better ratings, since Susan Flannery left. B & B is so boring now. “Bill” character is the only one I like. He’s never boring. Liam is so whimpy with Hope, whining about Wyatt as if he was jealous. He needs to man up and go back to Steffy. Please bring Steffy back. Im so bored!

I cannot believe that people forget how manipulative and deceitful that Steffy truly is! Wow, I will be an immoral you know what and do everything I can to take Liam away from Hope. I am so over that story line. I think that younger folks do NOT know that the Logan family was the beginning of the B&B with Brooke falling head over heals in love with Ridge!!! I wish they would bring a ‘new’ Ridge back into the picture and let Brooke see that being with Bill isn’t for her because she truly doesn’t seem ‘happy’ to me! I think that Liam needs to truly commit himself to the ‘women’ of his dreams. One women is kind and soft spoken. One who will grow towards her husband and family. Steffy just used her women seduction powers to seduce Liam into everything she wanted. She is even standing there at this time doing the same thing! ONLY this time, Liam let her go! I say: “IT IS ABOUT TIME!” I hope Steffy stays gone…I cannot stand her. Please bring Ridge back and let’s heat up things between Quinn and Bill…I enjoy the fashion shows too! Let’s have a few more of those! In the meantime, I will be watching to see how all of this goes!!!!

Félicitation Jacqueline,
pour ta nouvelle émission je suis sure que se sera une succes.
Mais tu me manque en Steffy tu étais quelqu’un qu on aime détester jespere tu revoir dans l’émission bientot Genevieve

She’s absolutely stunning and I’m excited to see a show like this.

We need jacqueline back on the bold and beautiful. The show needs her back on to take control of forrester creation. we miss her. Come back soon.

Nancy Lee Grahn’s Star-Studded ALS Fundraiser Reveals “I’ll Be There” Video Featuring Soap Opera Notables

Talk about your impressive line-up! It’s a soap fans dream and for a great cause. General Hospital’s Nancy Lee Grahn (Alexis Davis) is prepping her one-night only ALS fundraiser which will feature many of her friends and co-stars.

The benefit is set for May 4th in Glendale, California. Slated to participate are Genie Francis, Jane Elliot, Peter Bergman, Maurice Benard, Eileen Davidson, Thorsten Kaye, Michelle Stafford, Stephen Nichols, Rena Sofer, Jason Thompson, Kelly Monaco, Melissa Claire Egan, Maura West, Kristina Wagner, Gregory Harrison, Trevor St. John, Kate Mansi, Kirsten Storms, Cynthia Watros, and many others.

On Wednesday, Grahn took to her social media and released an “I’ll be there” video shout-out featuring, Monaco, Elliot, Bergman, Bernard, West, Harrison, St. John and more. In a touching and important moment in the new video, Michelle Strogny, who is battling ALS, is featured.

Previously, in speaking with Soap Opera Digest on the impetus of the event, Grahn recalled, “I was actually doing Zoom events during Covid and I met this woman that I just fell in love with, Michelle Strojny. At the time, Michelle had been living with ALS for four years. Now, it’s five years. She is a mom of a teenage son, she has the most wonderful husband, and she has been dealing with this [disease] for quite a while. And obviously, there isn’t a cure yet. It’s not survivable yet. But as she says, it’s not incurable. Nothing is; it’s underfunded. But anyway, I just really dug this woman. She is so grounded and filled with grace, and she spends all of her time working to raise money for the cause. We did a fundraiser for her last year and then I thought, ‘You know what? The soaps don’t ever get together to do something for charity.’ Collectively, we have this amazing community and we don’t collectively use it for a good cause, and I think it’s such an easy thing for us to do and we could potentially really make a difference.”

As GH viewers know, Gregory Harrison is playing the character of Gregory Chase, who is also battling ALS in a touching storyline that is currently playing out shedding a light on this disease.

‘General Hospital’ Writer Shannon Peace Let Go, and Shares on Sprina: “One of My Only Regrets is to Not Have the Opportunity to Develop That ‘Ship’ Further”

As General Hospital’s new head writing team of Elizabeth Korte and Patrick Mulcahy gets off the ground and running, there are still changes a foot on the writing team.

Now comes word via breakdown writer Shannon Peace that she is no longer on contract with the long-running ABC soap heading into its 61st season. Peace shared a heartfelt message on her Instagram, thanking the fans, and the show for the opportunity and the importance of diversity in the writers room.

Peace began, “After almost 3 years on staff and 106 episodes penned, I am no longer on contract with General Hospital. Writing for this country’s longest running television serial drama has been an education of epic proportions; I will forever be grateful that I earned my WGA card on a daytime fixture that holds memories for so many.” (Peace pictured below with GH EP Frank Valentini and script writer, Charlotte Gibson from about ten months ago).

Shannon added “Even more importantly, as the sole Black breakdown writer (and only POC in the writers room) during my tenure, I pushed for vital interactions and discussions that prioritized inclusion, visibility, and representation”

The writer pointed to the example of vital interaction when in story, “Stella and Portia’s frank July 2022 conversation about the role race played in Esme’s framing of Trina is just one example of the impact I’m gratified to have had.”

Acknowledging former GH co-head writers was also part of Peace’s farewell expressing, “Appreciation to my former bosses, Chris Van Etten and Dan O’Connor – not only taking a chance on me, but for valuing my opinion and championing my voice.”

Many GH fans know that Peace was key to the development of the love story between Trina Robinson and Spencer Cassadine as played by Tabyana Ali and Nicholas Chavez. Shannon gave a special shout-out to ‘Sprina’ fans, “I also want to thank fans who were supportive of my work, especially the recognition of my love for ‘Sprina’. One of my only regrets is not having to develop that ‘ship’ further.”

She concludes her statement with,”In the aftermath of a historic writer’s strike that shed new light on the troubling ways writers are regarded in daytime, my sincere hope is that General Hospital recommits to valuing staff writer efforts and input, with a more intentional focus on diverse viewpoints — and thrives for another 60 years.”

Accompanying her post, Shannon added, “Thank you all for the love and support these last few years. I hope GH fans get all they hope for and more!”

So, what do you think about GH not renewing Shannon’s contract? Will there be more continued changes afoot? What do you think is the future of ‘Sprina’ anyway at this point as viewers wait to see if Nicholas Chavez officially returns to the show?  Comment below.
