I greatly enjoyed the podcast and all the various comments by the actors. I am especially pleased by Carolyn Hennessey’s nom, but, I’m sad for the deserving actors like Stacy Haiduk, Brandon Barash, Tina Sloan and Laura Wright-among others-who were left out on the nominations this year. I always hope the next year will be better, but I always get let down again.

Wow! What fun-filled pod cast, Michael. This was very entertaining. I just think Carolyn Hennesy is witty and smart. She is a program all by herself. THe access you had to all the nominees was fabulous, because to listen to each and every one of them, you get a real sense of their true personalities. Their own reasons for their selections to submit was very interesting,,too. I’m split on some of my favorites nominated in the same category ,like the supporting actors on GH. I am also upset that Stacy Haiduk from Y&r was not nominated for best actress. After… Read more »

Loved this podcast. Galen was hysterically funny, as usual. Can’t believe he’s there just a couple days out of surgery. I am not familiar with Carolyn but she was funny as well.

Great job Michael.

DAYS Kate Mansi Learns The Ropes Of Directing A Multi-Cam Soap In New DOOL App Series

She has won a Daytime Emmy for her stellar performances as Abigail Deveraux, but now as many know, Kate Mansi has been spreading her wings as a director behind-the-camera.

Mansi follows on the heels of such fan favorite actresses as: Alison Sweeney (Sami, DAYS), Heather Tom (Katie, B&B), Cady McClain (Dixie and Rosanna Ex-AMC and ATWT) and Kimberly McCullough (Robin, GH) all who have eventually gone on to direct daytime and primetime episodes  of noted and successful series.

In the new DOOL app four-part series, From On-Stage to Behind-The-Scenes with Kate Mansi, the talented young actress learns the rigors and demands of working behind the camera in the fast world of daytime drama from Days of our Lives‘ director (and another Emmy winner) Sonia Blangiardo,who mentors Kate through the process.

The series talks about the current movement of having more female directors getting opportunities and be recognized for their work in film and TV, and the challenges a soap opera director faces every day: from dry block, where they work with the actors, working through their shot lists, and the ensuing problems that can arise in any production on the day to day.  But in soaps, the pressure is really on, because there is not much time to re-shoot things and to get them right.

It’s a fascinating view of what goes on at as the director bring their vision to life in the world of soap in a realistic way.  Make sure to download the DOOL app to check out Kate’s journey.

Now below, let us know if you saw the first episode of Kate;s directing journey on the DOOL app and what you thought of it? Look for new episodes to be posted every Thursday for the next three weeks.
