Melody Thomas "emergency" pulled her out of new web series "The Republic"!
Y&R’s Melody Thomas Scott apparently had to back out of her new web series The Republic in which she was set to star. In a release on the shows offical website, it details that due to an emergency for Melody there needed to be an “emergency” recast for Melody’s role of Martha. Film star, Sean Young was a last minute recast. Below are some excerpts from the producers on the casting development!
“Politics took a back seat as Melody Scott Thomas withdrew from THE REPUBLIC, a webisode currently filming in West Hills. Sean Young has stepped into the role of Martha Alden.
According to Melody’s agent, she regretted having to leave the project, but “an emergency” made it impossible for her to continue. Melody had looked forward to expanding into Internet broadcasting in THE REPUBLIC webisodes. Melody lights up THE YOUNG AND THE RESTLESS. She had even cut and colored her hair brunette for the role of Martha Alden. Melody pulled out just before principle photography was to begin, but a family portrait of the Aldens had been shot. (see below)
Sean Young, star of BLADE RUNNER, NO WAY OUT, and ACE VENTURA PET DETECTIVE, has jumped into the role of Martha Alden. Sean says, “I was grabbed by the script right away, because it has so many echoes in the current news. The Republic is at its heart a family story, and the idea of sticking together through a crisis really appealed.”
Principle photography began Wednesday, with Martha facing off against her neighbor played by Mary-Margaret Humes. Marc Singer (BEASTMASTER, V) will star as Martha’s husband, Frank Alden. Marc commented, “I hate to see Melody go, because we had a connection, but Sean has grabbed the ball and run with it. She’s so enthused she’s lifted the entire cast and crew, so it should be a blast.”
What’s the Deal?? Did she back out or was pushed out and Sean YOUNG???? dont get it

DAYS Alum Tanner Stine to Appear in ‘Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story’ Starring Nicholas Chavez
Another face familiar to daytime fans has already boarded Ryan Murphy’s limited series, Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story which stars General Hospital favorite, Nicholas Chavez (Spencer Cassadine) in the role of Lyle.
Tanner Stine who played Kayla (Mary Beth Evans) and Steve’s (Stephen Nichols) son, Joey Johnson on Days of our Lives will also appear in the series.
In ‘Monsters’, look for Stine to portray the role of Perry Berman, who was Lyle and Erik’s friend and former tennis coach. In the story, Perry found himself at the epicenter of the murder mystery when he had accepted a phone call from Lyle shortly before the brutal murders of Jose and Kitty Menendez.
Other previously announced castings included: Cooper Koch (who plays Erik), Javier Bardem and Chloë Sevigny as parents Jose and Kitty Menendez, Nathan Lane as Dominick Dunne, Ari Graynor as Leslie Abramson, and Leslie Grossman as Judalon Smyth.
In the series, the two wealthy brothers stand trial for shooting their parents in Beverly Hills, amid claims of self-defense after years of abuse, while prosecutors alleged that greed was the motives for the killing. Lyle and Erik Menendez have been behind bars in California for more than three decades for the 1989 killing of their parents.
Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story will debut later in 2024 on Netflix.

More of the Story on ‘General Hospital’ Star Josh Kelly’s Latest Film Role in ‘The Workout’
We had previously shared that General Hospital’s Josh Kelly was taking three weeks away from his role of Cody Bell to a shoot a role in an upcoming movie entitled The Workout.
Josh originally revealed his role in the film during an episode of GH castmates, Steve Burton (Jason) and Bradford Anderson’s (Spinelli) podcast.
Now Deadline has filled in some of the blanks, and shared some intriguing intel on the premise of the film and its back-story. The film stars Kelly along with Peter Jae, and UFC Fighter, Ashlee Evans-Smith. Other cast members include The Bay’s Kristos Andrews.
In The Workout, two army rangers set out to create a workout video, but their plans are abruptly halted when a mob hit interrupts their filming. Tragically, one of the rangers loses his wife in the attack, sending him on a relentless mission to take down the mob and anyone who stands in his way.
The film from James Cullen Bressack, almost did not get financed. Apparently, ten days before his birthday, Bressack made a post on Instagram about the feature and production, casting, and financing came from the post … illustrating the power of social media. After the post gained traction, a producer provided financing and actors expressed interest in joining the project, leading to a quick production.
In a statement, Bressack shared, “As artists a painter paints, a musician makes music, a writer writes, but as filmmakers we have to ask permission to create. It’s time to change that narrative. This film spawned from a necessity to create. We create. We tell stories. We play pretend. I’m excited to take this journey. This is the truest form of collaboration and a community of friends coming together to make something fun. While our industry has had a rough time recently with strikes and a possible strike looming in the future, it’s nice to remind ourselves why we got into film to begin with. To have fun telling stories.”
No word yet on when The Workout will be released.
So, looking forward to seeing this collaborative effort featuring GH’s Josh Kelly? Comment below.
