Susan Lucci's "Hot in Cleveland" Emmy Smackdown Tonight!

August 18, 2010

On-Air On-Soaps gave you a preview and a teaser on Monday of tonight’s hilarious season finale of the TV Land comedy, Hot in Cleveland with an interview with one of it’s stars, Wendie Malick , who plays fictional fading soap star, Victoria Chase.   In tonight’s cliffhanger airing at 10PMEST/9PMCST,  Victoria goes up against All My Children’s Susan Lucci (Erica) for the Daytime Emmy in a battle of soap opera divas and legends. 

Lucci appears on the episode in an Daytime Emmy satire that surely will have daytime fans in stitches.   Malick had this to say on working with La Lucci and the now infamous photo opp of the actresses in identical blue dresses fighting over the Emmy! “Susan came that night of the taping, and she did not even have to because she shot her material on pre-tape the night before.  Susan said to the producers, “I would love to come to it live that night in front of the audience.”  So, she did her part again, and came out in front of the audience, and they were so thrilled to see her.  It was wonderful!  So that night is when we did the photo opportunity of us in the same blue dress fighting for the Emmy… and we giggled the whole week!  She was like “Little-me!” (Laughs)

And as far as how her alter-ego plans to win the Daytime statuette from Lucci, Malick added, “She is up against Lucci, and against Kristen Macalister who pulled a really sneaky move… she died!  And so then, you might as well get an express ticket to winning.  It’s a cheap shot!  So Victoria’s way of being in the competition is to fake a really awful rare deadly disease. Then I get stuck in Cleveland in a tornado, and then I have to watch it on TV when the power comes back on.” (Laughs)

January 22, 2021

On Friday, Mark Consuelos (Ex-Mateo, AMC) was a guest on the CBS afternoon series, The Talk, where he shared his excitement and some insight into the upcoming All My Children primetime reboot, Pine Valley, in development at ABC..

As previously reported, Mark and his wife Kelly Ripa (Ex-Hayley, AMC) are two of the executive producers on the project.

Consuelos shared on the reboot: “All My Children was such a big part of my life and my wife’s life. And you know, I met my wife there obviously, had kids, became a young man on that show, and we got the opportunity to reboot the primetime version and the idea was brought to us, and we’re so excited.  Of all the things that we’ve ever announced that we’re going to do, this is one of the biggest responses we’ve got from our fans. They’re so excited.  It’s a big piece of TV that’s been missing for such a long time, and we’re going to bring it back.”

When avid soap fan and The Talk co-host, Sheryl Underwood, posed a major question to Consuelos that has been on longtime All My Children fans minds, she got a solid response from him.

Sheryl was trying to get some tea on who might appear in the reboot, when she asked, “Is it going to be the Cortlandts and the Warners? Is it going to be everybody?” Consuelos then responded with: “I know they’re going to bring back some fan favorites, and it will take place in Pine Valley, and I’m really, really excited.”

Will AMC Favorite Josh Duhamel Replace Armie Hammer in JLo’s Film, ‘Shotgun Wedding’?

January 20, 2021

After a controversial few weeks, which saw Armie Hammer exit his leading role opposite Jennifer Lopez in Liongate’s upcoming romantic-comedy/adventure film Shotgun Wedding, it appears the motion picture has found its replacement if the ink is signed.

Former All My Children and Daytime Emmy winner Josh Duhamel (Ex-Leo) has been picked as Hammer’s replacement.

The film tells the story of a couple that gathers their families for a destination wedding even as they get cold feet. If that wasn’t enough, the entire party then gets taken hostage.

Lopez and Hammer were headed for the film shoot in the Dominican Republic when salacious DM’s rumored to be attributed to  Hammer came to light on social media and derailed the films for now.  However, if Duhamel signs on to the film, they could can retain its start date in February

Hammer had responded to the allegations against him and the DM’s by sharing: “I’m not responding to these bullshit claims but in light of the vicious and spurious online attacks against me, I cannot in good conscience now leave my children for 4 months to shoot a film in the Dominican Republic,”

A Lionsgate spokesperson  also responded to Hammer and his exit sharing: “Given the imminent start date of Shotgun Wedding, Armie has requested to step away from the film, and we support him in his decision.”

The Hollywood Reporter first broke the casting news update.

So what do you think of Duhamel as Hammer’s replacement to play opposite JLO? Comment below.
