The Bold and the Beautiful is now confirming that Dayime Emmy winner Adrienne Frantz is re-joining the B&B cast as Amber Moore. Her first tape date is May 18, but she does not hit the airwaves till July 1. Let’s hope they have some great story in the works for one of daytime’s most original actresses!
Great, so she’s back! Good luck to SJB and Heather Tom since they’re on their way to becoming the next Eileen Davidson and Lesli Kay of B&B, actresses who’ll be pushed to the background for the likes of scene chewing, one dimensional, annoying, terrible actress Frantz.
Bell is going to write for Frantz. The sad part is Kyle Lowder is most likely going to get a storyline at this point. Great. Terrible Frantz and untalented Lowder. That’s a ratings disaster and Talk Soup fest waiting to happen.
The cast is already so bloated. They don’t need Amber! They never even use SJB and Hearst much, thankfully they don’t really use Diamont and Wagner much, and thankfully they never use Lowder, Harmon, DTB.
But awful, emotionless, pathetic “actors” Moss, Jones, Beemer and Downe are front and center. And Bell loves to write for the very uneven Gareis. Now you throw in Frantz there, and there’s no hope of the actors who can actually act like Lesli Kay to return or for Alley Mills’s Pam to do something other than pull pranks on Donna.
The dumb part is they have sooooooooo many women on the show, and they don’t need Amber. They need Deacon! If the Forresters want to mess w/ the Logans, they should have Deacon back. Felicia/Deacon would be fantastic.
This show is going to hell in a handbasket! I hope the ratings decline when Frantz returns. So will Little Eric/Deacon be in his late 20s since he’s older than Steffy and his half sibling/former aunt Hope?! Or will Bell ignore that since he doesn’t want Frantz to seem older?
WORST NEWS OF THE WEEK!

The only way B&B can redeem this is if Andrea Evans returns as Tawney to B&B and she goes after Eric. How annoyed would that make Pam and Stephanie?! After getting rid of Donna, they now have to battle trailer trash Tawney for Eric. But that won’t happen since Bell likes the actors who cannot act to be front and center on B&B like Moss, Gareis, Beemer, Jones and Downe. And he’d let his vets KKL and Tylo have storylines that revolve around Matula, Conroy and Woods. LOL!

“Daytime television invites viewers into the private lives of characters, often bringing important issues like cancer screenings into living rooms and around water coolers. Soaps debuted the first cancer storyline in 1962 – years before the topic was discussed in the mainstream, and it left an indelible impact: a whole generation of women who scheduled a potentially life-saving Pap smear for the first time,” said Daytime Stands Up host Alan Locher. “For so many viewers, this brought the issue front and center,” added co-host Michael Fairman. “Today, it’s become almost impossible to avoid; but there is hope with cancer research, thanks to organizations like Stand Up To Cancer.”
SU2C Co-Founder Sue Schwartz, SU2C President and CEO Julian Adams, Ph.D., and SU2C Health Equity Committee Member Elizabeth Jaffee, M.D., will also participate to speak to the importance of early detection, exciting scientific breakthroughs, and the ongoing work yet to be done to make screenings and treatment equitable for all.
“This year, an estimated 2 million people in the U.S. will be diagnosed with cancer, presenting an opportunity for the public to stand with us and rise to the occasion,” said Adams. “We’re thankful to Alan Locher, Michael Fairman and our friends from the daytime television community, who will raise critical funding to honor those we’ve lost – and to propel new scientific breakthroughs for current and future patients. Everyone has a story, and we’re grateful to all of you for sharing yours.”
For over 15 years, SU2C has leveraged its relationship with the entertainment community – which includes more than 1,100 celebrity ambassadors – to generate public donations, increase awareness and fund cutting-edge cancer research. SU2C research has contributed to the development of more than 10 scientific breakthroughs that have significantly impacted the field and provided new treatment options for breast, colorectal, lung, melanoma, pancreatic, pediatric and prostate cancers.

Days of our Lives star Deidre Hall (Marlena) is set to play a version of herself on third season of Hacks. Look for Hall this month in an episode titled “The Deborah Vance Christmas Spectacular,” to air on May 23 on Max.
Not only will Hall appear in the episode, but so too, will Back to the Future and Taxi star, Christopher Lloyd.
According to EW.com, Deidre will play “a fictional version of herself, who just so happens to be the mom of Paul W. Downs’ Jimmy.”

Hacks co-creator and Downs’ wife, Lucia Aniello shared on Hall’s casting, “It made sense to us that Jimmy’s late father, a big-time manager, would have been married to an actress. When the idea for Deidre Hall came up, it just felt right.”
As for Lloyd, he will portray, reclusive writer Larry Arbuckle, who is to have had a rather famous grandfather. In the episode, Hall and Lloyd’s character intersect, which leads to onscreen sparks.

“We had written some things that were flirty, but the chemistry was palpable,” says co-creator and series star, Downs shared. Hacks stars Jean Smart as comedy legend Deborah Vance.

Season 3 of Hacks debuts on Thursday night May 2nd on Max 9 pm ET/6 pm PT.
