The very talented Karine Vanasse (Margaux LeMarchal) received some wonderful news in that she has been promoted to series regular for season four of the hit ABC primetime soap opera in the Hamptons, Revenge!
Deadline.com broke the story on Karine. Since first appearing in the third season of Revenge back in September, Vanasse has been in a recurring role, however she has been in almost very episode! In story, the French Heiress Margaux LeMarchal has a past with the Graysons from growing up, and she returned to the the U.S. to start the American version of Voulez Magazine. In the romance department as of late, she has been quite cozy with Jack Porter played by Nick Wechsler!
As for the French-Canadian actress, viewers may remember her from the the period drama Pan Am! We sure do, we had the pleasure of meeting Karine and doing a video interview with her back then for Frontiers LA.
Revenge will be moving to the Sunday at 10PM slot, and a decision and confirmation of a season four is expected sometime in May, but it was important for the series producers to get Vanasse under contract now, before pilot season began!
Are you glad to hear Karine and her on-screen alter-ego, will be staying put on Revenge? Let us know! And check out this interview with Karine from her days on Pan Am, after the jump!
As a fellow-Quebecer I congratulate Karine, she is a good actress, I am very happy for her. Go Karine go… 😉

‘The View’s’ Whoopi Goldberg Tells Audience to Stop ‘Booing’ Republican Senator Tim Scott
June 5, 2023
During a bizarre couple of segments of Monday’s episode of The View, Republican presidential candidate, South Carolina Senator Tim Scott, was the special guest.
The conversation between the conservative politician and The View co-hosts, Whoopi Goldberg, Sunny Hostin and Ana Navarro took some uncomfortable and tense turns.
At one point, Goldberg posed the question to Scott, as to why the Republican Party was trying to “stop the progression that people are making.” Scott started answering and said that his political party was doing a “fabulous job at making progress” with social issues. Hostin asked him to elaborate on that point. It was then, that the senator turned his back to Goldberg, which promoted Whoopi to interject “That was me talking to you …. shall I come next to her?”
Goldberg then stood next to Hostin as Scott continued to face away from the other co-hosts and address the two. After proving her point, Whoopi went back to her seat a The View table.

Then, production signaled Goldberg to toss to break, but Scott was continue to speak. So instead of interrupting him, someone else from the production staff walked on camera and told Scott they were going to break.
However, when the show returned, and Ana Navarro asked her question, if the senator thought the ‘Republican Party had gone too far’ in introducing legislature against the LGBTQ+ community, including Florida’s “Don’t Say Gay” bill, plus Floria governor and Republican presidential candidate, Ron DeSantis’ feud with Disney, Scott’s response drew ire from some in the live audience with many booing the guest.
Next, Goldberg shut down the ‘boos” scolding the audience with: “Not here. I’m sorry sir. Do not ‘boo’. This is The View. We accept … we don’t have to believe everything people say, but you cannot “boo” people here, please. You cannot do it.”

Walt Willey Brings All My Children’s Jackson Montgomery to General Hospital
June 5, 2023
Look for another legal eagle character from a former ABC soap opera to pop up on General Hospital!
News today out of Soap Opera Digest has that none other than Walt Willey set to reprise his role as All My Children’s Jackson Montgomery on upcoming episodes of GH in July.
Willey played Erica Kane’s (Susan Lucci) love interest and the Pine Valley lawyer from 1987 through to till ABC’s cancellation of the series back in 2011. The actor previously crossed-over to another soap opera in 1996, when he played Jack on ABC’s The City.

Taking to his Facebook account, Walt confirmed the news on his appearances on GH: “Hey Folks… Been sitting on this one for a while but now I’ve been given the clearance to announce that “Jackson Montgomery” is visiting Port Charles! I’ll be doing a few episodes of General Hospital, due to air mid July. So excited to reprise my character and see and work with old friends! I’ll keep you posted on any details. “Jackson” in Port Charles…who would have thought it? Let me, and ABC, know what you think about it!”
Could Jack’s sudden arrival in Port Charles have to do with the SEC and the trouble that Carly (Laura Wright) and Drew (Cameron Mathison) find themselves in? Will AMC fans get to see Cameron Mathison and Willey share scenes together again? Mathison played Ryan Lavery on the beloved former soap opera … or might Jack go up against Martin Grey in a GH legal battle, so Michael E. Knight and Willey could share scenes together again since their AMC days?
So, excited to see Walt on General Hospital? What do you think brings Jack to Port Charles? Weigh-in below and stay tuned.
As a fellow-Quebecer I congratulate Karine, she is a good actress, I am very happy for her. Go Karine go… 😉
