For 35 years, Katherine Kelly Lang has portrayed The Bold and the Beautiful’s longest-running female lead as Brooke Logan.  Lang, who along with co-star John McCook (Eric Forrester), are the only two remaining original cast members of the CBS daytime drama.

Last week, B&B celebrated their 35th anniversary with a special Brooke-standalone episode which featured the character and the key men in her life through the years.  The episode featured the returns of Jack Wagner as Nick, along with Winsor Harmon as Thorne.

While the show took a look-back at some Brooke history, Kelly is also involved in a current major storyline which finds Brooke seemingly losing the love of her life, Ridge (Thorsten Kaye) back to Taylor Hayes (Krista Allen) who has returned to town.

All of this followed Brooke’s New Year’s Eve debacle where she fell off the wagon, thanks to Sheila’s (Kimberlin Brown) plot, and drank way too much alcohol and wound up making out with Deacon (Sean Kanan).

Now in a special conversation on You Tube’s Michael Fairman Channel, Kelly chats with Michael about her thoughts on Brooke’s current predicament (thanks to Sheila!), what it was like to have the 35th anniversary episode centered around her character and working with Wagner, Harmon, McCook, as well as Don Diamont (Bill), and of course, Thorsten Kaye for the milestone show.

In addition, Lang reveals what she thought of some of Brooke’s other hook-up foibles including the time Brooke confused Oliver Jones for Ridge, while they were donning masks at a masquerade party.

For years, Brooke’s nemesis, Stephanie Forrester (Susan Flannery) dubbed her, “The Slut of the Valley”. The character often still has that dubious title thrown at her by various characters on the canvas and most recently, Sheila Carter.  Kelly shares what she thinks of the use of that phrase through the years, and much more in a candid and insightful interview.

The Young and the Restless stars: Joshua Morrow (Nick), Sharon Case (Sharon) and Camryn Grimes (Ex-Cassie, now Mariah) chat with Michael Fairman in this exclusive conversation for The Michael Fairman Channel about the classic episode of Cassie’s Death from back in 2005.

The trio were heralded for their gut-wrenching performances, and in late July, CBS re-aired that episode in an encore presentation of one of the most emotional moments in soap history.  Here the actors shared their remembrances of taping those scenes, working together for many years and not only the tears, but the laughter they have shared throughout their time on the iconic soap opera.

In addition, since Y&R is now in production amid the coronavirus pandemic,  Joshua, Sharon and Camyrn talked about how it felt to finally be back at the studio taping new episodes, and much more.

This year’s 47th annual Daytime Emmy Awards were back on television for the first time since 2011, and back on CBS.  Due to the times we are living in the throes of the coronavirus pandemic, the usual kudofest, honoring the best in daytime programming, had to move from its originally scheduled live event to a virtual one.

That also means for us at Michael Fairman TV, the usual backstage “Winner’s Walk” interviews conducted immediately following some of your daytime drama favorites big wins also had to altered for this unique year.

So we had our own, if you will, “Virtual Winner’s Walk” albeit without the walk and without the glitz and glamour.  That being said, it all felt much more intimate as we spoke immediately following Friday night’s broadcast with these newly crowned winners:  Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series winner, The Young and the Restless’ Jason Thompson (Billy Abbott); Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series winner, The Bold and the Beautiful’s Heather Tom (Katie Logan Spencer); who tied One Life to Live’s Erika Slezak (Ex-Viki) with the most wins by an actress in Daytime Emmy history with 6,  Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series winner, The Young and the Restless’ Bryton James (Devon), and Outstanding Guest Performer in a Drama Series winner, The Young and the Restless’, Eva Larue (Ex-Celeste).  All four of these conversations were emotional, candid, and touching.

Over the weekend, we caught up with Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series winner, Tamara Braun (Ex-Kim Nero, General Hospital) for another heartfelt chat on her second all-time win in the category, and Outstanding Writing Team in a Drama Series winner, The Bold and the Beautiful’s executive producer and head writer, Brad Bell, who won this award for the fifth time in his career as he shared how much he learned from his late legendary parents and Y&R and B&B co-creators: Lee Phillip Bell, who was part of the In-Memoriam tribute on the telecast, and the late Bill Bell.
