It is rumored that she will be trouble as the daughter of Tony Dimera…ok, im starting that rumor just now myself…lol

hi Jimh..
How many new actors have been added to the DOOL cast during past year???

Im not sure…but they just killed off one of them…Serena!!!

I’m hoping she comes to Salem and is a police officer. She befriends Abe. She has a hidden agenda. She thinks she’s Abe’s daughter because her mother (Valerie Grant) dated Abe. In the end she realizes Abe and Valerie ended their dating way before she was conceived, so Valerie confesses that David Banning (Julie’s son) is the new beauty’s father!

I like your idea of who Lani is. The idea of Julie having a granddaughter is a hoot! I would enjoy that very much because Julie is a card! Kudos to Susan Seaforth Hayes!

Hey, sounds like something i wouldve written…lol…and i hope you are right…another Horton in Salem???

I enjoyed her work on AMC. Welcome aboard Sal.

Could she be Maxine’s daughter?

ditto!

I forgot all about her.. amidst all the hoopla

not any less… as I thought: she was hot… on AMC

Jimh, I see you often on here, and I hope you are right!!!! The DiMera’s need some replenishing. Where the hell is Peter Blake??? I was thinking she could be Lexi’s half sister, or a lost daughter of Abe’s!!! With all the returning and new talent, I hope DAYS writes for everyone!!! She was a awesome actress on the AMC reboot!!!!

wow! great idea… as in Lexie’ 1/2 sister… especially if her mother is Celeste!

bring that tarot hot tamale sexy vixen HOME

Newbies on DAYS generally tend not to do so well, but hopefully Lani’s storyline is interesting and they keep Sal Stowers around, because she was great on AMC and DAYS needs more diversity in its cast.

My hope is that she is a relative of Abe’s because they really need to give him more story, and beef up his family. Since Lexie died, he hasn’t had much going on. Now with Theo being SORAS’d, and hopefully with the addition of Lani, he will have more story.

Another Stefano offspring? (Lani/Lexi)

Remind me…who was Casandra again?
And why do we care that she’s coming to Days?
With all the former stars coming back, why is this news important?

Just wondering…

Cassandra Foster was the adopted daughter of Angie Hubbard Foster (Debbi Morgan) and Jacob Foster (Darnell Williams playing a Jesse Hubbard lookalike) from the final episode of THE CITY (March 28, 1997), when they found a baby abandoned in a dumpster under a sign that read “Cassandra Deliveries” (from what I recall).

Cassandra débuted as a teen on ALL MY CHILDREN (played by Yaya DaCosta) who was still getting used to Jesse’s return from the dead (Jacob was explained as living in Europe after his marriage to Angie fell apart off-screen after THE CITY ended). Cassandra mixed it up with Colby Chandler, Pete Cortlandt, and Dre Woods during summer 2008, I believe dealing with Richie Novak’s murder (killed by his sister Annie, but I think his abandoned body on the road was run over by the teens in their car, leading them to think they had killed him), before Cassandra left town.

When AMC rebooted on HULU in 2013, Cassandra was brought back (this time played by Sal Stowers) and was central to Angie/Jesse’s storyline when Cassandra was kidnapped by human sex traffickers and tortured. Stowers received rave reviews from critics and fans. While I felt she delivered emotional performances, I felt the hype was a little overblown, as she basically cried for months, but I didn’t quite connect with the character’s pain. Cassandra was eventually rescued, near the end of the season/series, and was starting the road to recovery while slowly reconnecting with Colby and Pete (played by Robert Scott Wilson, now portraying Ben on DAYS).

Boy I have to give you credit for remembering all of that – I watched AMC for years and even watched the ill-fated Re-boot online version and enjoyed Sal Stowers as Cassandra. But even I, a long-time fan of the show, can’t recall all these details – yes many of these actors from AMC and OLTL are showing up on Days of our Lives.

Thanks davidevansmith! I admit I pretty much FF’d most of that girl’s scenes! Didn’t care for the character OR the storyline.
Meh to her coming to DOOL, but maybe with a different character, she’ll do OK.

i know she was awesome on the online version of amc – so i am expecting the same on dool

Gpod or bad, she’s alright alright.

With all these new characters coming and all the old vets returning, it makes you wonder where the money is coming from? Will every scene soon take place in the Horton Square or the lone booth at the Brady Pub so they can save money on set design?

I can easily see Days making the same mistake that GH did. They brought back a ton of vets and added a slew of new characters and then didn’t have enough time to air them.

Carol Burnett Talks About Being a Superfan of ‘All My Children’ on ‘Live with Kelly and Mark’

In a heartfelt reunion, of sorts, the one and only Carol Burnett appeared on Monday March 25th episode of Live with Kelly and Mark.

Burnett had first met Kelly Ripa (Hayley) and Mark Consuelos (ex-Mateo) back when they all appeared on All My Children together. Carol played Verla Grubbs first in 1983 and then again in the 90’s.

Host Kelly Ripa (ex-Hayley, AMC) noted to Burnett that “we go back a long time”. She also described Burnett’s character of Verla Grubbs, “extraordinary in every way.”

Carol’s love for All My Children is well-documented, hence legendary soap creator, Agnes Nixon, created the role of Verla for Burnett.

Speaking on how her passion for All My Children began, Carol told Kelly and Mark, “It started with my kids. They would watch at noon. I said, ‘What are you guys doing?’ I sat down and I started to watch and I got hooked!”

When Carol’s family decided to travel through Europe during one summer, the comedic legend recalled thinking, “How am I going to last if I don’t know what’s going on in Pine Valley?” She revealed she had a friend, “who sent me a telegram to the (different hotels) on Fridays to bring me up to date.”

In a hilarious moment from the segment, Carol recalled receiving a late night telegram while in Lake Cuomo when there was a knock at her hotel room door from the hotel manager who was shaking.

Carol related what it said, “Erica is still in a coma. Mark slipped again and ran away from rehab.” As Kelly and Mark broke into laughter, Burnett continued, “Chuck has learned that Donna is carrying his baby, who was once a hooker.”

Check out Carol explaining how she became an AMC Superfan below.

Malachy McCourt, ‘Ryan’s Hope’ and ‘All My Children’ Actor, Dead at 92

If you watched Ryan’s Hope through its 14-year-run, you know that Kevin the bartender became a beloved “member’ of the Ryan clan on the defunct ABC daytime drama series. The character of Kevin MacGuiness became so loved by the fans because of the actor who portrayed him, Malachy McCourt.

Sadly, according to his wife Diana McCourt to The New York Times, Malachy passed away on Monday from a heart condition and battling cancer. The actor was 92-years-old.

Playing Kevin on Ryan’s Hope was not much of a stretch for McCourt, because in his lifetime, he was the owner of 1950s Irish pub Malachy’s on Third Avenue in Manhattan. Known as one of the city’s great story-tellers, patrons from longshoremen to the actor Richard Harris would stop in and talk all things Irish with . On Ryan’s Hope, Kevin was best friends to “Ryan’s Bar” owner, Johnny Ryan (Bernie Barrow) and he tried to keep Delia (Ilene Kristen) on the straight and narrow.

In his soap opera career, McCourt also was widely-known for his role of Father Clarence McCourt on All My Children especially come Christmastime. Was Clarence, actually St. Nick? That was always the proverbial question. McCourt also appeared on the New York soaps: One Life To Live, Search For Tomorrow and Another World. Other roles included: Devil’s Own, Brewster’s Millions, The Molly Maguires, and Starman, to name 

Later in 2006, Malachy ran for governor of the state of New York as a Green Party candidate. He tackled social issues of the time including being an advocate for gay and lesbian groups to march in the annual St. Patrick’s Day Parade.

McCourt’s childhood was recounted within his brother Frank McCourt’s Pulitzer Prize-winning memoir Angela’s Ashes, which detailed their mother’s attempt to raise the four of their surviving seven children in poverty in Limerick, Ireland. Later, Malachy wrote his own memoirs: 1998’s Monk Swimming, and 2000’s Singing My Him Song.

Malachy is survived by his aforementioned wife, Diana, daughter Siobhan McCourt; sons Malachy Jr., Conor and Cormac; stepdaughter Nina Galin; nine grandchildren; and one great-grandson.

Share you remembrances and condolences for Malachy McCourt via the comment section, but first check out this scene from a 1983 episode of “Ryan’s Hope” featuring the late actor with Ilene Kristen.
