This looks good! I love Tom Phelprey and I liked Melissa on OLTL. I hope to see this movie. Tom should be a big star like a lot of the Guiding Light alumns like Hayden P. and Matthew Bomer.

Movie is also available on demand through most cable providers. It is also available via iTunes and Amazon.com. It is not showing in my area, but I look forward to watching it tonight at home.

Oh and Blake I agree with you comment about Tom being a big star, but you also forgot one of the biggest stars from GL Kevin Bacon.

This looks really good! Can’t wait to see it. Love Melissa Archer and she has a wonderful sense of humor. Remember that we saw some of it with her & Michael Easton on OLTL. Hope she heads to GH now and gets her man back!!!!!

Looks like a fun movie!
I really like cast too with the exception of Melissa Archer , the movie would be much better for me with her absence..
I’ll check it out ‘on demand’ ..

if you can’t say something nice, don’t say it at all 🙂 Melissa rocked this movie.

agreed ! evveryone should remember what Thumper’s mother told him.

Yes Melissa Archer sure did!! She and Tom were my favorite parts of the movie.

Saw the movie and it was so much fun and boy did Melissa Archer rock it!! Whew! If you thought she was gorgeous before you should see her in this movie. Such a great actress and Tom too, whoever had the idea to put my two favorite soap actors together was a genious. These two are going to be big!

Richard Roundtree, ‘Generations’, ‘ATWT” and ‘Shaft’ Star, Dead at 81

Motion picture and television leading man, Richard Roundtree, has passed away at the age of 81. The actor, best known for his role in the iconic film Shaft, and its sequels, died from complications from pancreatic cancer on October 24th in his home in Los Angeles.

In a statement, Roundtree’s manager, Patrick McMinn shared, “Richard’s work and career served as a turning point for African American leading men in film. The impact he had on the industry cannot be overstated.”

During his extensive credits and career, Roundtree made two stops to two daytime soap operas. In 1990 till 1991, Roundtree played Dr. Daniel Ruebens on the defunct NBC soap opera Generations. He later appeared on As the World Turns from 2002-2003, taking on the role of Oliver Travers, the father to T. Marshall Travers played by Lamman Rucker.

Roundtree’s leading lady on Generations, Jonelle Allen took to her Facebook upon learning the news of the death of her former castmate and friend, expressing: “My Leading Man on Generations. I Am Very Sad. My Condolences To Your Family. Dearest Richard Roundtree.”

In a subsequent post, Allen shared a photo of their Generations’ characters, Daniel and Doreen about to lip-lock. Jonelle stated, “In the scene with him I kept thinking: ‘Shaft is about to kiss ME!!!’ Thank You.”

On Generations, Roundtree’s character of Daniel Reubens was a brilliant doctor, who was accused of killing someone by causing an explosion at a lab in 1974. He and his daughter, Maya, then went “underground” for the next 15 years. Maya was played by Viveca A. Fox.

I do read and appreciate what you share with me, that you entrust me with your thoughts and feelings. You are ever on my mind and in my heart, and I look forward to getting active and out there again as soon as possible. Until then, remember to play nice, be kind, and stay engaged! Our futures depend on it.”
