When On-Air On-Soaps spoke with now Daytime Emmy winner, Ray Wise (Ex-Ian Ward, Y&R) on the red carpet at the 42nd Daytime Creative Arts Emmy Awards about if he would be reprising his role as Leland Palmer/Killer BOB on the iconic series reboot of Twin Peaks, Ray said it he could not confirm or deny at the time, but it was more than 50/50, and it that he hoped that David Lynch and Showtime’s disagreement would be worked out, so production could continue to move forward! Well, it has!
Fantastic news this afternoon from Twin Peaks creator David Lynch is that the bizarre soapy drama that first aired on ABC more than 25 years ago is coming back, and that Lynch is back on board the project too! Lynch announced via Twitter stating: “Dear Twitter Friends, the rumors are not what they seem ….. It is !!! Happening again. #TwinPeaks returns on @SHO_Network”
That was followed up by statement from Showtime’s David Nevins: “This damn fine cup of coffee from Mark (Frost) and David tastes more delicious than ever. Totally worth the extra brewing time and the cup is even bigger than we expected. David will direct the whole thing which will total more than the originally announced nine hours. Pre production starts now!!” From the reports today, it looks like there will be more than the original 9 episodes being filed in the limited series revival!

Next series star, Kyle MacLachlan got in on the news tweeting a pic of some of the more familiar characters of Twin Peaks surrounding him in his role as Agent Dale Cooper in a nod to Wizard Of Oz, “But it wasn’t a dream. It was a place. And you and you and you…and you were there… Good to be home. #TwinPeaks ”
Could this mean that just killed-off General Hospital star Ian Buchanan (Ex-Duke Lavery) can return to the revival of Peaks as Dick Tremayne? We hope so!
Watch the interview with Ray Wise below where we touch upon the Twin Peaks reboot! Then let us know if you are excited to know that Log Lady and all the rest of the clan will soon be back on TV!
Fire. Walk with me.
I love Ray Wise!
Best. News. Of. The. Year.
He was wasted on Y&R a great actor a stupid storyline. The best guest appearance should have been Shemar Moore/Malcom’s return only two days but a character we all loved and he had some great scenes with KSJ!
LOVED seeing Ray at the Creative Emmys and chatting with him and his wife!! (To me, I vaguely remember his stint as Jamie Rawlins (1970-76) on LOVE OF LIFE!) His win was MOST-deserved as the evil Ian Ward on #YR!!
Expect to see Ray Wise in many genres because he’s been there. I met him at a sci-fi convention last fall where he was most gracious. This was during the time he was being his most wicked as Ian Ward on Y&R, followed more recently with appearances on Mad Men. Coincidentally Nathan Fillion/Castle/Joey on OLTL was also at the show. Going to check out Twin Peaks to get reacquainted with the story.

GENERAL HOSPITAL Preview: Serena Sets Her Sights on Michael; Jason’s Emotional Exit from the Mob

This week on all-new episodes of General Hospital, new and old motivations come into play with dangerous consequences. According to the just released GH video spoilers video for the week of August 3-7, a bailiff calls out, “All rise!”
Now it’s Isaiah (Sawandi Wilson) vs. Curtis (Donnell Turner), as the surgeon is suing the owner of the Savoy for assault that ruined is ability to operate. At the end of the day, which of these men has enough evidence against the other? Portia (Brook Kerr) is by Isaiah’s side, while Jordan (Tanisha Harper) is with Curtis.
Next, Lucy (Lynn Herring) has a plan to get the controlling shares of Deception away from Michael (Rory Gibson). She wants her daughter, Serena (Kelly Kruger) to seduce Michael. She tells her, “Pick out your most seductive suit.” Soon, we see Serena in her bathing suit at the Metro Court face to face with Michael.
Later, there is a small baggie containing three blue pills. Nina (Cynthia Watros) ask Willow (Katelyn MacMullen), “What did you do?” We also see Michael asking the same thing of Jacinda (Paige Herschell). Leading into this week, viewers know that Willow doesn’t want the former escort anywhere near her children, Amelia and Wiley. Is this how she stops her, or is Jacinda up to old tricks and wants to frame Willow? Remember when Jacindsa drugged Drew (Cameron Mathison)? Stay tuned.
Finally, in the pick-up from last Friday’s cliffhanger, an emotional Jason (Steve Burton) continues to tell Sonny (Maurice Benard) that he cannot work for him anymore. Sonny ask, “So that’s it? You’re Out?” We fade to black.

Vincent Pastore of ‘Sopranos’ Fame and ‘General Hospital’s’ Maximus Giambetti Dies at 80

Vincent Pastore, best known for his memorable role as Salvatore “Big Pussy” Bonpensiero on HBO’s The Sopranos has passed away.
The veteran actor was found dead on August 1st in his home in the Bronx, New York. Pastore was 80-years-old. The cause of death is yet to be determined.
As well as his role on The Sopranos, many soap fans will recall he played multiple smaller roles on the beloved One Life to Live from 1995 and 2004. However, in 2008, he landed the short-term role as Maximus Giambetti on General Hospital.

PASTORE WANTED TO BE ON GENERAL HOSPITAL
Maximus was the mobster father of Sonny Corinthos’ (Maurice Benard) bodyguards: Max (Derk Cheetwood) and Milo (Drew Cheetwood)
According to Soap Opera Digest, Pastore told Soaps In Depth back in 2009, after appearing in a SOAPnet promotional campaign as a celebrity fan of General Hospital: “‘I’d love to be on the show. So they called up GH’s casting director (Mark Teschner) and Bobby (Robert Guza Jr. ex-head writer, GH) and they wrote me in!”
Pastore was a huge General Hospital fan from way back, who at one point told producers that he would watch the ABC soap opera while working in bars and nightclubs in the 70s and 80s.
Throughout his decades long career, Pastore appeared in films including: Goodfellas, Carlito’s Way and Men of Respect, The Jerky Boys: The Movie and the 1996 HBO TV movie Gotti.
In TV, besides The Sopranos, Pastore’s credits included: Law & Order, The Practice, Son of the Beach, Queens Supreme, Hawaii Five-0, Wu-Tang: An American Saga, plus the miniseries The Last Don II. Most recently, Vincent was a series regular on Gravesend and guest starred on Yellowjackets.
Pastore is survived by his daughter, Renee, son-in-law and granddaughter.
