Last night on the September edition of Soap Nation Live with Michael Fairman, we welcomed our very special in-studio co-host General Hospital’s Laura Wright (Carly) for a lively and entertaining, and revealing 90 minute broadcast.

Michael and Laura welcomed their “Soap Nation Live Hottie Night” line-up of guests throughout the show which included: General Hospital’s Ryan Paevey (Nathan), Dancing with the Stars, and former GH star (Ex-Jagger Cates) Antonio Sabato Jr, and Days of our Lives Greg Vaughan (Eric)!

Laura discussed throughout the episode myriad of hot button GH topics including, Carly’s current romantic entanglement with Sonny (Maurice Benard) and Franco (Roger Howarth), and how things really twist and turn in the weeks to come.

The Daytime Emmy winner also chats on Billy Miller taking over the role of Jason, which was previously played by her longtime scene partner Steve Burton, and how important the Carly/Jason relationship is, and how she is looking forward to working with Billy Miller, and that in fact they are shooting scenes together coming up soon!

Ryan Paevey (Nathan) during his segment talked about the scene this week on General Hospital, where Maxie and Nathan finally share their first kiss after stabbing or shooting people, and working with Kirsten Storms (Maxie)!  And he reveals what it has been like seeing the overwhelming fan response, especially from the ladies, in such short time to his first daytime soap role.  Paevey also shared he hasn’t been privy thus far to the Intel of who Nathan’s real biological father is given the twist this week on GH where we learned it isn’t Victor Cassadine (Thaao Penghlis), and the sexy star shared some cooking tips! He is quite the cook and much more as you will hear!

Antonio Sabato Jr. talked about his debut this week on ABC’s Dancing with the Stars ,and how it felt to have  to dance first of all the celebrity contestants for the new season, and live in front of the studio and at-home viewing audience! Antonio also talked about what it’s been like to try to learn the new dance routines with two-time DWTS pro dance champ, Cheryl Burke!  In addition, he shared his memories as Jagger Cates on GH and says he would love to return some time in the future if he was asked back.  And Antonio, like Ryan Paevey, talks about their construction talent, but Antonio has taken that a step further with his new syndicated series, Fix It or Finish It!

During his segment, Greg Vaughan talks about Eric’s on-air and priestly struggles on Days of our Lives, and recalls working on General Hospital with co-host Laura Wright as Lucky Spencer, and managing a soap career and being the dad of three young boys. He also reveals what he hopes will happen to  the former “Father” Eric Brady in the future and much more!

WOW, Laura Wright just seems like the coolest ever! All of the guests were very entertaining, personable, and candid. Thank you Michael.

I liked it!
thanks!!

Michael Fairman…I absolutely LOVED this program. Laura was a great cohost…and Ryan, Antonio and Greg couldn’t have been more pleasant and charming!

Ryan: “I’m feeling a bit doughy!” Hahahahaha…that was too funny…and he actually meant it! It was so much fun to hear Ryan (who plays my new favorite GH character, Nathan)…being so sweet, intelligent and personable. He’s not only stunning…he sounds like a sweetheart!

The entire show was completely fun and entertaining!

I wish they would ask Antonio back to GH! I loved Jagger and there is story there. Lets get him back!
Laura you were a fun guest! I love Greg!! <3

I’m not sure if I need ASJ back at GH at this point (none of his co-stars is really around, except for KMc), although he had a nice reunion with Robin on the second season of GH:Night Shift.

Oh well, of course there’s Sonny, too, but you get my drift.

Lifetime’s ‘Ladies of the ’80s: A Divas Christmas’ Brings Epic Food Fight and “Slapfest Coup de Grâce”

Get ready for the feuding soap opera divas, when five actresses known for their signature primetime and daytime roles are brought together in Lifetime’s new holiday film, Ladies of the ’80s: A Divas Christmas.

Saturday night, December 2nd on Lifetime (8pm ET/7PM CT) marks the highly-anticipated holiday movie premiere featuring: Donna Mills (ex-Knots Landing), Nicolette Sheridan (ex-Knots Landing), Morgan Fairchild (ex-Falcon Crest et al), Linda Gray (ex-Dallas) and Loni Anderson (ex-WKRP in Cincinnati).

Here’s what we do know! In story, five alums from the long-running soap, The Great Lakes reunite for a live Christmas finale. Uh-oh!  Now take a look at the backstory of the colorful cast of characters (pay special attention to the clever twists on the actresses names!)

LAUREN EWING (Linda Gray) “Everyone thinks I’m so damn good all the time,” confesses the junk food-loving Lauren of her second act as a lifestyle guru. “I don’t know how Gwenyth Paltrow does it!”

DANA CUNNINGHAM (Donna Mills) Now a sitcom mom, she’s yet to make amends to ex-bestie Juliette after abruptly leaving the soap back in the day. Not that she hasn’t tried: “When I thought the world was going to end in Y2K,” Dana says, “I reached out to her, and she never called me back.”

LILY MARLOWE (Loni Anderson) After replacing Dana on ‘Great Lakes’, Lily never again found a role to win her acclaim. “What do I have to show for (my career)? An arc on  For the People – Shonda Rhimes’ only flop!”

JULIETTE MATHESON (Nicollette Sheridan) “She left me for L.A.,” the party girl turned fashion mogul recalls of Dana’s betrayal. Will their feud derail the entire event?

MARGEAUX ROBERTS (Morgan Fairchild) “Fasten your face-lifts, ladies, it’s gonna be a bumpy weekend!” The sassy grande dame of ‘Great Lakes’ sees the Juliette-Dana beef as the perfect escape from her own domestic drama.

Now, making this all the more hysterical is the director of The Great Lakes reunion special, which makes the five women live under the same roof, is its former child star Alex, who has gotten his ex-girlfriend, Nell to direct the finale. Meanwhile, in the subplot. the ‘Ladies of the ’80s’ come up with a plan to get Alex and Nell back together.

As with any good soap opera, there is a major food fight. Linda Gray shared with USA Today ,”The food fight was one take. And it was fabulous.” And of course, their is a bitch-fest slap-fest. Morgan Fairchild revealed, “Oh honey, we all got ours in. Mine was a simple, ‘How dare you?’ with a slap. But I was hoping for a punch.”

The movie’s EP, Larry Thompson, who is a Hollywood manager and has Donna Mills as a client, said that the entire scene peaks with the”slapfest coup de grâce.” What is that exactly? That is when Donna Mills pushes Nicollette Sheridan into a pool in a nod to Dynasty’s Lily bond battle between Dynasty’s Alexis (Joan Collins) and Krystle (Linda Evans).

In case you missed it previously, check out the trailer for Ladies of the ’80s: A Divas Christmas below, also starring Patrika Darbo, Alec Mapa, Mills real-life daughter, Chloe Mills, and Christopher Atkins with theme song by Tiffany.

Now let us know, will you be tuning in to the movie for a premise that should delight many a longtime soap fan? Share your thoughts in the comment section.
