Not a Fan!

Ouch sweetie, I’m sure the feeling is mutual. YOU Sound, so miserable. You sound like you need to go to bed, you are grumpy.

Melinda, just because someone isnt a fan of certain actors or shows exct. doesnt make somone grumpy and misreable…not everyone likes and enjoy the same things!!!

What Jim said, Besides, that person didn’t say anything that horrible nor did he/she specify to whom he/she was referring.

Yes yes I love Josh, He is a hot hot hot man. LOL.. Josh is a great actor, I hope we get, to see him naked. My boyfriend thinks, Josh is hot too.

Stefano…Oh, I agree!!!!! And…Fergie is ONE LUCKY CHICK!!!!! HOLLA!!!!!!

Smart move by Mr. Duhamel, since his movie career is not like it was..Great names to be attached to a show..Breaking Bad is already an American classic, loved that show..And always loved Josh in AMC..Leo was a great character and he played it great!

Glad he’s coming back to television, but NOT glad it’s for (yet another) cop show. Just how many cop shows do we need? We’re overrun with them now. I’d much rather see him in a dramedy in the vein of “Las Vegas” where he could use his comedic skills.

This is a dramedy. And a very funny one. And while it is a cop show, it’s very character based, around the rivalry between Russ and Milton.

Plus, Gilligan is a genius–he will make this work.

If that’s the case, then I’m all for it. But no where in the article does it indicate that this is a “dramedy.” It only refers to it as a drama. I can only go by what I’m reading.

Not surprised he came back to TV. Smart move on his part. I’m looking forward to it. Now if only they’d ask his former AMC costar, Rebecca Budig to guest star or better yet, have a recurring role, it would be the bomb! 😉

Carol Burnett Talks About Being a Superfan of ‘All My Children’ on ‘Live with Kelly and Mark’

In a heartfelt reunion, of sorts, the one and only Carol Burnett appeared on Monday March 25th episode of Live with Kelly and Mark.

Burnett had first met Kelly Ripa (Hayley) and Mark Consuelos (ex-Mateo) back when they all appeared on All My Children together. Carol played Verla Grubbs first in 1983 and then again in the 90’s.

Host Kelly Ripa (ex-Hayley, AMC) noted to Burnett that “we go back a long time”. She also described Burnett’s character of Verla Grubbs, “extraordinary in every way.”

Carol’s love for All My Children is well-documented, hence legendary soap creator, Agnes Nixon, created the role of Verla for Burnett.

Speaking on how her passion for All My Children began, Carol told Kelly and Mark, “It started with my kids. They would watch at noon. I said, ‘What are you guys doing?’ I sat down and I started to watch and I got hooked!”

When Carol’s family decided to travel through Europe during one summer, the comedic legend recalled thinking, “How am I going to last if I don’t know what’s going on in Pine Valley?” She revealed she had a friend, “who sent me a telegram to the (different hotels) on Fridays to bring me up to date.”

In a hilarious moment from the segment, Carol recalled receiving a late night telegram while in Lake Cuomo when there was a knock at her hotel room door from the hotel manager who was shaking.

Carol related what it said, “Erica is still in a coma. Mark slipped again and ran away from rehab.” As Kelly and Mark broke into laughter, Burnett continued, “Chuck has learned that Donna is carrying his baby, who was once a hooker.”

Check out Carol explaining how she became an AMC Superfan below.

Malachy McCourt, ‘Ryan’s Hope’ and ‘All My Children’ Actor, Dead at 92

If you watched Ryan’s Hope through its 14-year-run, you know that Kevin the bartender became a beloved “member’ of the Ryan clan on the defunct ABC daytime drama series. The character of Kevin MacGuiness became so loved by the fans because of the actor who portrayed him, Malachy McCourt.

Sadly, according to his wife Diana McCourt to The New York Times, Malachy passed away on Monday from a heart condition and battling cancer. The actor was 92-years-old.

Playing Kevin on Ryan’s Hope was not much of a stretch for McCourt, because in his lifetime, he was the owner of 1950s Irish pub Malachy’s on Third Avenue in Manhattan. Known as one of the city’s great story-tellers, patrons from longshoremen to the actor Richard Harris would stop in and talk all things Irish with . On Ryan’s Hope, Kevin was best friends to “Ryan’s Bar” owner, Johnny Ryan (Bernie Barrow) and he tried to keep Delia (Ilene Kristen) on the straight and narrow.

In his soap opera career, McCourt also was widely-known for his role of Father Clarence McCourt on All My Children especially come Christmastime. Was Clarence, actually St. Nick? That was always the proverbial question. McCourt also appeared on the New York soaps: One Life To Live, Search For Tomorrow and Another World. Other roles included: Devil’s Own, Brewster’s Millions, The Molly Maguires, and Starman, to name 

Later in 2006, Malachy ran for governor of the state of New York as a Green Party candidate. He tackled social issues of the time including being an advocate for gay and lesbian groups to march in the annual St. Patrick’s Day Parade.

McCourt’s childhood was recounted within his brother Frank McCourt’s Pulitzer Prize-winning memoir Angela’s Ashes, which detailed their mother’s attempt to raise the four of their surviving seven children in poverty in Limerick, Ireland. Later, Malachy wrote his own memoirs: 1998’s Monk Swimming, and 2000’s Singing My Him Song.

Malachy is survived by his aforementioned wife, Diana, daughter Siobhan McCourt; sons Malachy Jr., Conor and Cormac; stepdaughter Nina Galin; nine grandchildren; and one great-grandson.
