Brandon Beemer & Nadia Bjorlin's cover story for YOU Magazine in South Africa!

February 12, 2012

For the Valentine’s Day issue of YOU Magazine, a popular entertainment and lifestyle magazine from South Africa, gorgeous daytime drama couple, B&B’s Brandon Beemer and Venice and Ex-DAYS Nadia Bjorlin prove that yes, soap stars can actually get an international cover of a magazine! Something of course, we would love to see more of in the U.S.! But, we know how that one goes!

Brandon and Nadia’s cover story was part of the February 9th issue of YOU, and in the feature the couple talked about renovating their home and their relationship. The tease of the article went something like this: “Their characters have battled all manner of nail-biting drama – including being stranded on a desert island, surviving cancer and a near-fatal car accident. But ask Brandon Beemer and Nadia Bjorlin (both 31) about the most stressful thing they’ve ever done and the soap-star couple instantly agree: renovating their California home. When they bought the four-bedroom, three-bathroom, double-storey house on the outskirts of Los Angeles in July 2009 they knew they had a bit of a fixer-upper on their hands, Brandon and Nadia say, taking time out of their schedules to chat to YOU. And no sooner had the renovation madness calmed down than along came a camera crew that followed Nadia and Brandon’s every move for months for a reality TV show called Dirty Soap.”

Brandon traveled to South Africa recently. I think B&B is pretty big over there.

Still don’t get why he’s being tossed from B&B. The show needs more of him, not less.

DAYS Alison Sweeney Previews the New EJami

June 6, 2021

Coming up on Days of our Lives, Dan Feurerriegel take over the role of EJ DiMera on-screen, and the character is making quite the timely, or untimely return to Salem now that Sami (Alison Sweeney) has been hitting the sheets with her ex-husband, Lucas (Bryan Dattilo).

Feurerriegel is stepping into the coveted role of EJ made soap-famous by James Scott, who left the series back in 2014 and never returned.

Now the question is can Sweeney and Feurerriegel strike soap gold with their re-imagined duo known as “EJami”?

In the latest issue of Soap Opera Digest on newsstands now, Alison Sweeney opened up about the casting, working with Dan, and the future of EJami sharing: “To be honest, I was nervous when I heard they were recasting EJ. That’s a big role to fill, I mean, James Scott was definitely a fan favorite and EJ is such a memorable role in the story and certainly in Sami’s life.”

Sweeney said of sharing scenes with Feurerriegel, “Dan has been fantastic. I’ve really enjoyed working with him. He clearly understood the importance of the task ahead.”

As for what fans of EJami may be in for, Sweeney noted: ” I hope those ‘EJami’ fans see the couple they were so connected to, but of course, in a new, different way.”

So will you be giving the new EJami a chance? Looking forward to Dan’s debut, or are you Team Lumi all the way? Share your thoughts via the comment section below. But first check out this week’s promo for DAYS.

DAYS Billy Flynn Opens Up To Maurice Benard About His Battle with Addiction on All-New ‘State of Mind’

May 30, 2021

In a terrific episode of Maurice Benard’s (Sonny Corinthos, General Hospital) State of Mind You Tube series, the actor welcomes another one of the best actors on daytime, Days of our Lives star Billy Flynn (Chad DiMera, Days of our Lives).

What made this so compelling was Billy Flynn’s ability to talk openly, frankly, and with great understanding about his battles with addiction which he notes have been alcohol, drugs, and the cycles he has found himself in within his life and how he was able to break free of them, and the work he continues to do to keep him from falling back into them.

Flynn shares how much of his adult life was greatly impacted by his childhood, and explained to Benard, how he acted out when he was younger. He also shares how his addiction caused issues for awhile with his job at Days of our Lives.

This episode is a powerful one to watch for anyone struggling with issues of addiction, dependency, suicide, having problems at work, and trying to not self-destruct, which so many of us do, once we seemingly get what we what or while we are trying to obtain it.

Bravo to Billy and Maurice for bringing this forward and to the audience.

Watch Billy’a visit on State of Mind below, followed by a bonus segment where Flynn asks Benard some ‘hard-hitting’ questions.
