Jacob Young Shares Production Pic of Cast of His New Film Featuring Joan Collins and Nadia Bjorlin
Last month, during a livestream conversation on the Michael Fairman Channel, while promoting Jason Cook’s film, Four for Fun, and featuring soap notables Jacob Young (ex-AJ, AMC, ex-Lucky, GH, ex-Rick, B&B) and Brytni Sarpy (Y&R), Young revealed some intel on his upcoming movie project.
Jacob shared that he was set to direct, produce and star in a Agatha Christie-like murder mystery feature film, Murder Between Friends shooting in Prague.
The actor/director expressed, “I’m flying at the end of the March to Prague to direct, produce and star in a film with Joan Collins (ex-Dynasty). Nadia Bjorlin (ex-Chloe, Days of our Lives) is in it, and Toby Alexander Smith from Eastenders (ex-Gray Atkins). Plus, a couple of my Broadway friends and a very well known Czech actress (Hana Vagnerova). It’s very ‘Knives Out’ without having a hundred million dollars to shoot it, but still will be a lovely film nonetheless.”
Young is currently shooting the film’s principal photography abroad through April 17th.
Over the weekend, Jacob took to his Instagram to share a photo with the cast of the film where pictured is former Dynasty star, Joan Collins (ex-Alexis) and former Days of our Lives star, Nadia Bjorlin (ex-Chloe). In addition, former All My Children star, Trent Garrett (ex-Asher) is seen in director-mode kneeling.
Trent and Jacob are both co-directors of Murder Between Friends. Joan Collins shared the pic on her Instagram citing, “This was the #secret I posted about several weeks ago!”
So, looking forward to seeing Jacob’s film when it is released with Joan, Nadia, and company? Let us know in the comment section.

Barbara Rush, ‘All My Children’ and ‘Peyton Place’ Actress, Dies at 97
Veteran Hollywood actress Barbara Rush, known to soap opera fans for her recurring roles on All My Children as Nola Orsini, and on Peyton Place where she played Marsha Russell, died at 97 on Sunday, March 31st.
Her passing was confirmed by Rush’s daughter, Fox News Channel senior correspondent Claudia Cowan. In a statement, Claudia shared, “My wonderful mother passed away peacefully at 5:28 this evening. I was with her this morning and know she was waiting for me to return home safely to transition. It’s fitting she chose to leave on Easter as it was one of her favorite holidays and now, of course, Easter will have a deeper significance for me and my family.”
Barbara had an extensive career in films and television that included roles in: It Came From Outer Space, The Goldbergs, 7th Heaven, The Young Philadelphians, Robin and the 7 Hoods, The Young Lions, Batman (TV series ), The Bionic Woman, Fantasy Island, Love Boat, Murder, She Wrote and so many others.
From 1968 to 1969, she starred in 75 episodes on Peyton Place. In 1980, Rush also appeared in NBC’s primetime soap opera, Flamingo Road taking on the role of Eudora Weldon, who’s adoptive daughter was played by Morgan Fairchild.
Then, in 1992, she was cast as All My Children’s Nola Orsini. In the storyline, Tad (Michael E. Knight) had amnesia and washed ashore from a river and wides up in California. He gets a job at Orsini Vineyards, where the owner, Nola Orsini (Rush), says that he is the spitting image of her missing son, Ted Orsini, who was kidnapped as a child, and insists Tad is him. She takes him in, trains him to run the vineyards, and makes him her heir, completely convinced he is her lost son, and the story unspooled from there.
Rush is survived by her two children the aforementioned Claudia Cowan, and Christopher Hunter.

Y&R’s Hayley Erin Previews Her Role in Horror-Thriller ‘New Life’
I love the idea of a recap show & the opportunity to see some behind the scenes stuff.
Will have to wait and see what they are like… but myself, I’d still rather have a new episode on Friday, and perhaps this re-cap show once a month.
This just keeps getting better and better!!!
Personally I have no problem at all with the recap shows. Anything that keeps me connected with the stars of these wonderful shows I fully support. I am just so very grateful that these fantastic shows are back in production. I mean we will be getting 210 shows a year of each. We seem to have a very committed team working on the productions. Bravo to Prospect Park for working so hard to return these shows to glory in the modern age!!
Yet another brilliant plan to stay connected with the fans and also to get a glimpse and have more of a personal connection to the actors
Good thing its a recap of the two soaps ect. but the rest of it sounds too much like another information talk show to me!
I do not like it..
I do not like getting overly personal with the cast it takes away from the acting because I’d see them as the actor not their the character, it would take the fantasy lol ….
That’s not Angie that is Debbie Morgan while watching the story..
and it seems boring, I’d rather have another day of the soaps..
It would be better if they had it one Friday a month..
It is PP way of abiding to the stipulations of the lease to keep the soaps in the original format of 5 days a week..
This way they put out for 4 days and 5th is interviews and the actors are paid by their scenes, so saving big money for PP to throw in the 5th day none story,scenes,scripts.
It will get old fast, and most would rather have another day of the soap not interviews etc etc ..
It’s better to have 4 days a week than NO days a week.If they can only afford 4 30 minute shows a week so be it.
The shows are back.This almost NEVER happens be grateful we’re getting this much.The new footage looks FANTASTIC.I predict more returns will happen once they see the finished product.
i agree with everything you posted! some are never satisfied…….
sounds great to me! would be great if they could keep at least these recap/behind the scenes shows on the web for years, like old episodes are on YouTube. It’s fun to go back and rewatch!
Love it! I can’t wait!
Let’s just hope the “lifestyle and beauty/fashion advice” doesn’t overwhelm them and hog up most of the airtime.
I’m skeptical about this being even 1/10 as compelling as even “The Soup” on E! but hey, it shows that Prospect Park actually does care.
Can’t wait to watch this stuff on my HuluPLUS on the TV (Roku, baby!)
This is reminding me of when Passions was cancelled and moved to DirecTV only, they cut down to four episodes a week, then only three a week if I remember right, and they did their weekly recap/call in show…I still loved it, but it only lasted a year. I hope that doesn’t happen this time. I do think they may have a better chance of lasting than Passioms did for a couple of reasons though… 1- I think both AMC & OLTL had a larger audience to begin with, and 2- more people have access to the internet than were willing to switch their TV service to DirecTV. So again, hopefully they won’t suffer the same fate, I just can’t help but notice that there are some similarities. I’m really hoping for success, especially for OLTL.
As a 40 year veteran of OLTL, I think these recap shows would benefit initially from educating new viewers (fans of Corbin Bleu, for example) of the history behind the current characters and a recap of the last couple of weeks of shows before it was yanked last January…..
I stil have the last 3 episodes on my TIVO and plan to watch next week, but the newbies might not be motivated enough to explore the background;….
