Willam deVry Lands New Contract Role on General Hospital!

He played twisted Michael Cambias on All My Children for all he was worth and then some, and let’s not forget raped Bianca (Eden Riegel), and then played Storm Forrester on The Bold and the Beautiful, whose demise meant life for his on-screen sister, Katie (Heather Tom).  Of course, we are talking about the talented William deVry who just finished taping his first scenes at his new soap home … General Hospital!

TV Source Magazine broke the news by relating, “I have confirmed with a General Hospital rep that deVry will play the role of Derek Wells. Derek is Connie’s (Kelly Sullivan) boss.”  TV Source originally reported that deVry’s first scenes were with Maura West who plays Ava Jerome, from their sources.

Then just a half hour ago, deVry took to his own facebook confirming TV Source’s story while relating:  “Finally!!! I just got word I can tell you I just finished my first day of work on General Hospital. It is a contract role. Very rare these days indeed. And I come to town as the character of Derek Wells. Derek has an agenda, let me tell ya!!! First air date is July 30th. Very excited to finally be able to say it out loud!!!”

So this begs many a question!  Is Derek Wells really “Derek Wells”, or is he really related to another family on the Port Charles canvas?  Perhaps, he is a Jerome too?  With William deVry able to play bad so good, what kind of character do you think he will be?  Is Derek on hand to bring on the exit of Connie Falconeri, since Kelly Sulllvan is exiting the show?  Share your thoughts!

He looks more like he shouldve played Franco…anyway, GH needs another newbie like i need another hole in my head, and there is no more room in my head for another hole…lol…but i wont judge til i see his performance first…he could hurt or help the show…have to wait and see. Just wish the show remembers what it did with the missing Scott Baldwin, improve Lauras wardrobe and get Scorpio out of that DAMN COMA!!! Also where is Monica???

Roger is still Todd…..not even remotely like Franco, that stupid twist was the one that pushed me over the edge and made me change the channel on GH for the first time in 49 yrs. I almost left when Jason was killed off the way he was, and the fans & Steve Burton was spit on. But I thought surely they wouldn’t leave it this way. Once they threw Frankentodd in the mix…among the cheap shots at AJ’s weight, all the silly dialog that only a teenager would like, all the gay speak, and the corny dead lines our vets… Read more »

I have only been watching GH since November, so they all new to me. But just a general observation- all the characters that everyone call the vets on any soap– they all were at one time the newbie on their show. Just think in 20 years people could be complaining GH isn’t giving their old fav’s Franco, Kiki or Britt air time for some newbie named Zandoff — that said— all soap writers like to write their own characters and stories– so yes they do try to honor history, but I found after every shift in head writers there is… Read more »

That is the darn truth. I have no idea how Laura ended up so frumpy. It’s like they don’t know how to buy cute clothes for anyone over a twig size and so they just quickly grab a little of whatever and go. She’s a beautiful woman in a size that is in line with the majority of American women, so cute and beautiful stuff is out there. They just need to find it and put it on her…that IS their job.

well ,a NEW contract Charecter, huh ?? SOON GH will jsut be another poorly scripeted show, soon to be canceleld. (But I do believe that was the agenda all along) Ron Carlivati & Frank Valentini are bent on destroying anything that resembles what GH once was. Since they have taken control there has not been near as many awards given to GH & it actors. If it were not for recorders (so I can fast forward thru most of the show) I would have stopped watching long ago.

So Frank and Ron are purposely tanking GH is that what you’re saying, Carol? Sorry, but that’s one of the most ridiculous things I’ve heard in a long time. I’ll be the first to admit that the show is going through kind of a lackluster period right now, which is something that all shows go through. But to suggest that there is a hidden conspiracy and agenda to see GH canceled, I’m really at a loss for words.

i agree with you…gh…like most soaps have their ups and downs…a few months from now gh could be getting praise again…its how these shows work…i complain about a few things myself but most soaps fan do…however we dont believe its a conspiracy to get a show cancelled when we dont like something and if we dont like the entire show we simply change the channel until they do something we like that might draws us back again…plain and simple.

What do you mean “since they have taken control there have not been near as many awards given to GH and its actors?” That makes no sense. They’ve only been there a little over a year and their actors won 2 out of six acting Emmys this year–33% of them when GH was only 25% of the soaps on the air that year. So they beat the average. They were also nominated in 4 out of the six categories, and in one category, GH was nominated twice over. So they won 50% of the categories they were nominated for. And… Read more »

Just what GH needs…another newbie on contract while Anna , Laura, Scotty, Felicia, Mac and Duke are MIA and one of the greatest daytime characters ever, Robert Scorpio, is rotting in a coma in far off Switzerland…I wasn’t expecting all vets all the time when they started to “bring back” vets. But what I was expecting was vets being fully integrated in front burner stories that contained newbies with historic ties to PC.

great point Dawn, i totally agree, and i don’t mind the new characters, just wish the vets would be given the respect they deserve and be integrated with the newbies. once again GH has everything going for them as far as cast and history goes, it just doesn’t seem to have the right person to executed. It sounds so simple right? can we just get someone who can execute storylines, with the vets, and like dawn said unfinished storylines. Isn’t there someone who can do all this? theres got to be, obviously RC isnt up to the task.

Remember multiple vets did not want to return full time (TR mentioned in interviews at the time that he was only available for short bursts this year–with his obligations to his family, Y&R, his web series, and producing requirements). He’s also in his 70s if I recall. Not to mention that he is very expensive vis-a-vis story potential that doesn’t involve Robin or breaking up Anna and Duke (which would be a very islanded story). A similar story with Finola Hughes, who, if I recall correctly, at the time of her signing, mentioned that the fact that she would be… Read more »

I can appreciate and understand what you’ve said about budgets and newbies being less expensive and necessary to the genre. I get it and I agree…I too remember newbies like Frisco/Fellicia! But that explanation falls short when RC and FV continue to bring in expensive, high profile talent from other shows instead of using the expensive, high profile talent that already exists at GH…our beloved vets. If you’re spending the big bucks, spend them on characters/stories we care about and want to see. Yes, they’ve jammed a smattering of aimless scenes in with vets we love…but there is no satisfaction… Read more »

I think you hit the nail on the head. I don’t watch GH, but just reading some bits and pcs of information I think Silas will be Kiki’s father.

No new contract characters needed, try using the established ones you already have, that have been with GH forever.

A question for anybody who has the answer didn’t Tony Geary make the comment in an interview with TV Guide that the writers or whoever make a percentage off of creating a new character instead of writing for the vets? Or was I dreaming that? Because all the last 4 soaps seem to be doing that. I think it was the interview Michal Logan/TV Guide did with Geary, Jane Elliott and Kin Shriner.

BR

Tony Geary did say that, but it’s not true. I work in the industry and am in the writer’s union (though I don’t work in soaps and never have). I checked out this rumor years ago–with the union that sets the terms for writers, their residuals, etc. which cannot be deviated from and it’s not true. It’s been so widespread that apparently even some actors believe it, but I can promise 100% that this is not true. Residuals work a very specific way and you get money only for the episodes you write when they air and a very few… Read more »

I did read that interview. & yes, not sure if it was that interview, but I remember that the writers, etc, do get a royalty for every new character they bring on canvas. Such a waste.

Both actors who played Johnny and Spinelli have voluntarily gone off contract…Brandon Barash voluntarily left the show (his choice) and Bradford Anderson went off contract (his choice) to be able to test the waters to see what else is out there. And since both were in front-burner storylines at the time they chose to leave, I don’t think their issues were air time but being in their 30s and wanting to know if there were any other opportunities out there in film or primetime. That’s a reasonable thing for those actors and I won’t hold it against the show or… Read more »

Please GH, reassur em that despite the excellent additions to cast of late — Maura West, William deVry — that there will be a post-anniversary stabilization of characters and plot. I understand the new economies and need to tell stories new ways but… we enjoy consistent plots with regular appearances by our core characters. These long absences with dangling story threads makes it unpleasant and not as interesting to watch each day. I love GH. It was the first soap for me back in the 1970s.

I was hoping with Lukes illness the writers would have brought back Jack Wagner…Frisco and Jackie Zeman…Bobbi, who would race against time to help Luke find a cure and then Frisco could stick around longer as Maxis baby story unfolds, keep an eye on Britt, irritate Mac with his presence in PC, and make a nervous Felicia once again think twice about how she feels about him days before she and Mac are to wed. Now that Tony G. is off on his hiatus from the show here is another possible great storyline that fizzled for me.

I have to disagree with you. These sideline stories help the main characters – give them new faces and situations to get involved in. Usually the sideline stories are short lived or else they create something else. If it was just a set group of characters all the time, , with never a new character or situation, it would be boring. I remember when Anna Devane and Robin were new to Port Charles… Thank God they did and look how many other characters and storylines they became involved with.

I’m echoing what some have already alluded to on this thread. While I have no quarrel with Mr. deVry’s abilities as an actor, I do question the need (as well as the budget concerns), to bring on another contract player when there are 31 currently on the roster and 26 (?) on recurring. The cast is bloated beyond what the canvas should realistically be holding. These multiple umbrella stories are just the type of thing that has viewers tuning out because the varying threads are dropped then picked up after a period of time during which one has forgotten where… Read more »

I wish that the casting and writing team of General Hospital would hear our concerns about such a large cast. Most viewers do not want to see any more new faces in Port Charles.

Walt Willey Brings All My Children’s Jackson Montgomery to General Hospital

Look for another legal eagle character from a former ABC soap opera to pop up on General Hospital!

News today out of Soap Opera Digest has that none other than Walt Willey set to reprise his role as All My Children’s Jackson Montgomery on upcoming episodes of GH in July.

Willey played Erica Kane’s (Susan Lucci) love interest and the Pine Valley lawyer from 1987 through to till ABC’s cancellation of the series back in 2011.  The actor previously crossed-over to another soap opera in 1996, when he played Jack on ABC’s The City.

Photo: ABC

Taking to his Facebook account, Walt confirmed the news on his appearances on GH: “Hey Folks… Been sitting on this one for a while but now I’ve been given the clearance to announce that “Jackson Montgomery” is visiting Port Charles! I’ll be doing a few episodes of General Hospital, due to air mid July. So excited to reprise my character and see and work with old friends! I’ll keep you posted on any details. “Jackson” in Port Charles…who would have thought it? Let me, and ABC, know what you think about it!”

Could Jack’s sudden arrival in Port Charles have to do with the SEC and the trouble that Carly (Laura Wright) and Drew (Cameron Mathison) find themselves in?   Will AMC fans get to see Cameron Mathison and Willey share scenes together again?  Mathison played Ryan Lavery on the beloved former soap opera.

So, excited to see Walt on General Hospital? What do you think brings Jack to Port Charles? Weigh-in below and stay tuned.

B&B’s Scott Clifton Reflects On His Conflicted Emotions on Winning Lead Actor Daytime Emmy Over Y&R’s Kristoff St. John

The Young and the Restless’ beloved Kristoff St. John (ex-Neil Winters) passed away back in February of 2019, and at the age of 52-years-old.  Back in 2017, St. John along with The Bold and the Beautiful’s Scott Clifton (Liam), were nominated alongside each other for the Lead Actor in a Drama Series category at the 44th annual Daytime Emmy Awards.

A win for either would put them in the Emmy record books to become the only actor to win all three of the Daytime Emmy acting categories as of that time: Outstanding Younger Actor, Outstanding Supporting Actor and Lead Actor.

During his appearance on Maurice Benard’s You Tube series, State of Mind, Clifton talked about the emotions and ups and downs of eventually winning the Emmy over St. John, while knowing how much it meant to Kristoff, and given late actor’s reel. In it, St. John shared scenes with the late Nichelle Nichols, who played Neil’s dying mother.

When discussing his three Emmy wins with Benard, Scott expressed: “It’s beautiful, but remember Kristoff St. John.  I got to do a couple of events with him, and I got to talk with him, and the year that I got ‘Lead’, he was nominated.  He and I both had a Younger Actor Emmy and a Supporting Actor Emmy, and if one of us won, everybody was telling us, we would have this record of the first actor in daytime to have a Daytime Emmy in all three categories.  And, he told me, and this was months before he passed away, he told me, it was really important to him to win that.”  It was then, an emotional Clifton shared: “That Emmy is not worth it to me. It’s bittersweet.”

Photo: NATAS

As to how Scott feels he wound up with the gold statuette, the B&B star acknowledged, “So much of that it is who happened to be submitting that year, etc, and this was the first year they changed the rules. All I did was take advantage of the new rules, and I was smart about it.  I did not have the best performance, but they changed the rules where instead of submitting one episode through the year, you could submit a 20-minute tape and you could grab (scenes) from whatever episodes, and I made a story with it. I was playing the voters, but I didn’t have the best performance.”

In tribute to St. John, Clifton said, “His performance  was beautiful, but it was all in a hospital.  It was so intimate and small, and controlled and authentic, and mine was all over the place, but I told a story.  I’m convinced that’s the only reason I won.”

Scott’s reel that year was also outstanding, so many could see why he won the coveted prize and made Emmy history.

Check out the poignant story as told by Scott to Maurice in the latest episode of State of Mind below.

Then, let us know what you thought about Scott opening up on of his career-defining moments via the comment section below.

General Hospital

General Hospital’s Réal Andrews and Finola Hughes Deliver the ‘Power Performances of the Week’

Two different storylines, two noteworthy performances, and both from General Hospital, made our weekly kudofest.  The first, belongs to the heartbreaking performance that still has everyone talking by Réal Andrews as Marcus Taggert.

Last week’s episodes of GH, brought with it the results of the DNA test that ‘proves’ just who is Trina’s (Tabyana Ali) biological father, Taggert or Curtis (Donnell Turner)? When Trina opened the envelope to reveal the answer in front of Portia, Curtis and Taggert, she announced it was Curtis, who was her dad.

However, if you watched the scenes carefully, you saw the subtle work by Andrews as he was attempting to remain calm before receiving the answer and what followed afterwards, but that was in front of Trina, Portia and Curtis and his attempt to put on a brave face through it all.  In reality, Taggert was devastated by the news.  When he said his goodbyes, Taggert got inside the GH elevator.  Once there, he lost it and began to cry, punching the elevators walls with his fist.  A five-hank

Meanwhile, Finola Hughes once again showed us the layers and the veracity of Anna Devane. This time, while at WSB headquarters, Anna’s past as a double agent comes to light.  Agent Hersley had her under arrest, as she is being accused of treason against the state.

Courtesy/ABC

While Anna’s past as a DBX double agent were known to the agency, they weren’t known to the public. Thanks to Victor’s will reading and the revenge plot he set in motion against her, now Anna is up against more formidable foes.  When speaking with her lawyer, Martin Grey (Michael E. Knight), Anna says how can she dispute the charges against her when they are true?  She realizes in this instant that the WSB wants to hang her out to dry to cover their own asses.  Hersley threatens Anna, that if she fights the charges, they will be forced into looking into the actions of her associates, Robert Scorpio and Annie Donnelly.

Not having it, Anna throws down saying she will seriously embarrass the WSB if they pursue this … and if anything happens to Robert, Annie or anyone else she cares about, she will take the bureau down with her.  After Hersley caves, Martin asks Anna what happened. Anna states she is no longer an agent and will never be again.

This material gave the mighty Hughes the material to shine, as Anna went from having the rug pulled out from under her, to fighting back, to now not knowing what her future holds after saving others.

Courtesy/ABC

For all the reasons cited above, Michael Fairman TV names the work of Réal Andrews and Finola Hughes as last week’s ‘Power Performances of the Week”.

Do you agree with our picks of GH’s Réal and Finola? Let us know your thoughts in the comment section below, but first check out some clips from their work below.
