All Hollywood Stars Who Haven’t Won An Oscar Yet ( Photo Credit – Wikimedia )

It’s Hollywood’s biggest plot twist: some of the most iconic stars have never won an Oscar. Yep, while they’ve given us chills, tears, and popcorn-worthy performances, the Academy has kept the golden guy just out of reach. We’re talking multiple nominations, standing ovations, and still no shiny statue. From the always-brilliant Glenn Close to the ever-charismatic Bradley Cooper, these stars are walking proof that talent doesn’t always equal trophies.

And let’s be real, some of these actors have delivered performances so legendary, they make Oscar wins look like consolation prizes. So grab your popcorn and cue the dramatic music, because this is the ultimate list of A-listers who keep slaying the screen, statue or not. The Oscars may be gold, but these stars? Pure platinum.

The legendary, iconic soap vet Susan Lucci, best known for her decades-long run as Erica Kane on All My Children, just made an exciting announcement. 15 years after her first book was revealed, she is back to share new chapters in her life with her new memoir, “La Lucci“. The new memoir provides an intimate […]

The post Susan Lucci Makes Exciting Announcement appeared first on Soap Opera News.

‘General Hospital’ (Gh) spoilers predict Erica Kane (Susan Lucci) may soon get a pleasant surprise that could change the cosmetics game and cause a significant shake-up.

‘General Hospital’ Spoilers: The Name Erica Kane Gets Tossed Around A Lot In Port Charles

Erica Kane may be the most famous character on the now-defunct soap All My Children, but her name gets tossed around a lot in Port Charles.

Eva Larue played Maria Santos on AMC, and despite Erica and Maria being longtime romantic rivals, maybe Natala Rameriz (Eva Larue) and Erica are longtime friends who go way back.

It’s not hard to imagine Natalia wanting to get revenge on Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) and the Deception ladies for her firing.

Natalia was the CFO of Deception, privy to inside information that she could easily use against them. Erica Kane, who has her own successful cosmetics company called Enchantment, would welcome...

General Hospital spoilers indicate that Natalia Rogers-Ramirez (Eva Larue) has been let go as CFO of Deception due to her not disclosing that she is the ex-wife of Jenz Sidwell (Carlo Rota).

Natalia is furious by this, and cannot believe that this is what it has come to, as she has done an incredible job in her position.

Lucy Coe (Lynn Herring), Maxie Jones (Kirsten Storms) and Brook Lynn Quartermaine (Amanda Setton) were all very firm on this decision, and Natalia is no longer a part of Deception. Natalia would see this as a betrayal, and what better way to get revenge than tip off the competition!

Natalia Rogers-Ramirez Contacts All My Children’s Erica Kane

Natalia would place a call to Pine Valley where Erica Kane (Susan Lucci) is still running Enchantment, her cosmetics company, and Deception’s biggest competition. In a fun nod, it would be revealed that...

Joy Behar and the rest of the ladies at The View are on vacation during spring break, but news about one of her projects came out with some important dates.

As Monsters and Critics has reported, new episodes of The View will air after the Easter holiday.

Joy’s latest project, her play, My First Ex-Husband, is nearing the end of its Off-Broadway run, but not before one exciting performance with Whoopi Goldberg.

Whoopi is vacationing in Italy during The View’s long hiatus, and while she is picking up an interview here and there, she could be studying lines for a special reason.

Joy’s play showcased several stars during its run, including Susan Lucci, Veanne Cox, Jackie Hoffman, Carolyn McCormick, Marilu Henner, and Marsha Mason; now, Whoopi will join the venerated cast.

Joy announced that Whoopi will join her in a spectacular performance on April 30, 2025, before news broke...

Joy Behar’s stage comedy My First Ex-Husband will play its final Off Broadway performance May 18, producers announced today, with a national tour set to begin this summer.

The play, which features a rotating cast that has included Behar, Susie Essman, Tovah Feldshuh, Adrienne C. Moore, Susan Lucci and others, opened in January at the new Mmac Theater on Manhattan’s Upper West Side. Behar recently announced that she will return to the comedy for three upcoming performances including an April 30 matinee that will costar her View fellow panelist Whoopi Goldberg.

The current cast, performing through April 20, features Veanne Cox, Jackie Hoffman, Carolyn McCormick, and Andrea Navedo. Beginning April 23, the final New York cast will be Marilu Henner, Marsha Mason, Julia Sweeney and Fat Ham‘s Benja K. Thomas.

Casting, dates and venues have not been announced for the national tour.

The View costars Whoopi Goldberg and Joy Behar will soon share a stage of an entirely different sort: Goldberg will appear for one performance only with Behar in the latter’s Off Broadway comedic play My First Ex-Husband.

Behar announced the team-up on her Instagram account, captioning a photo of the two, “The reunion we’ve been waiting for!”

The matinee performance is set for Wednesday, April 30, at 2 p.m./Et. The play, which features a rotating cast of actresses as directed by Randal Myler, is staged at the newly renovated Mmac Theater on Manhattan’s Upper West Side.

The play’s official synopsis: “If half of all marriages end in divorce, then in My First Ex-Husband, women live to laugh about it….In the world of the play, you’ll meet women married to the mob, to their jobs, to their faith, to money and ultimately to the wrong man.

Joy Behar announced an exciting collaboration with her good friend, Whoopi Goldberg, and this time, it has nothing to do with The View.

Joy Behar’s schedule stays full even when she isn’t on The View as a cohost or moderating when Whoopi is off, even with the addition of moderating The Weekend View.

Joy loves to write plays in her spare time, and her latest, My First Ex-Husband, is currently playing on Off-Broadway.

Joy spent so much time playing her part that she got sick and was away from her seat on The View for an extended time after covering for Whoopi.

Now, it seems that Whoopi may be paying her friend, Joy, back after all that by joining her for a special one-time-only event.

Joy’s play, My First Ex-Husband, features a rotating cast including Susan Lucci, Susie Essman, Adrienne C. Moore, and now, Whoopi Goldberg is appearing in the show.

General Hospital recaps for Wednesday, April 2 reveal a busy day in the land of Port Charles. In case you missed today’s show, here’s a full overview. Time to dive in!

(Make sure to check out our next week Gh spoilers, here!)

Jason Morgan Needs Help

Jason Morgan (Steve Burton) is bound and determined to keep Carly Spencer (Laura Wright) away from Jack Brennan (Chris McKenna). He visited Lucas Jones (Van Hansis) at the hospital and asked him to help his cause.

Lucas admitted having similar concerns for Carly’s safety, so he has tried to get through to her with no luck.

Jason says that he has always been able to keep Carly safe while living in Sonny Corinthos’ (Maurice Bernard) world because he understood the risks. He doesn’t understand the Wsb world and knows that the stakes are much higher, so keeping Carly safe is nearly impossible.

General Hospital‘s Isaiah appears almost perfect, but is he too good to be true? His last name is familiar to any former One Life to Live viewer, and he may be part of a Llanview family.

Blasts From The Past

Many soap watchers miss the good old days with the former ABC lineup of All My Children, One Life to Live, and Gh, but the characters live in our memories. Gh has had fun bringing in actors from the canceled soaps and sometimes even old characters out of the closet.

Jackson Montgomery (Walt Willey) was married to the one and only Eric Kane (Susan Lucci) and a major player in Pine Valley. The attorney brought his legal skills to Port Charles in 2023. He represented Tracy (Jane Elliott) in her suit against Deception and had some great scenes with Lucy (Lynn Herring) and Felicia (Kristina Wagner).

Valentin (James Patrick Stuart...

Welcome to Tony Talk, a column in which Gold Derby contributors David Buchanan and Sam Eckmann offer Tony Awards analysis. This week we take you inside the Hayes Theatre to discuss one of Broadway's latest offerings, Purpose.

Sign Up for Gold Derby’s free newsletter with latest predictions

Sam Eckmann: Since we've both seen Purpose, the new drama from Tony-winning playwright Branden Jacobs-Jenkins, I think it's time we assess how it might fit into the race. The play follows an explosive evening for the influential Jasper family as they are snowed in during a birthday celebration. It also marks the Broadway directing debut of Phylicia Rashad. After claiming the Best Revival of a Play trophy for Appropriate last year, do you think Jacobs-Jenkins is on his way to a Best Play victory this year?

Netflix is one of the largest streaming services, and, aside from having other licensed titles on its platform, it has also created a name as a studio. Its titles often feature high-profile actors, and despite some of them not often enchanting both the critics and the audience, the streamer has had an amazing few months.

One of the titles that received major success recently is Cameron Diaz's Back in Action. The action comedy, which stars Diaz and Jamie Foxx as retired spies, also comes with a tongue-in-cheek reference to the actress' long break from acting. Per Tudum, the break didn't stop her from continuing to be one of the biggest action stars, as Back in Action joined Netflix's prestigious Most Popular Movies list.

Diaz's last film was 2014's Annie, and then she took a break to focus on her personal life. Her co-star, Foxx, persuaded her to come back to acting,...

General Hospital (Gh) spoilers reveal there have been more than a few All My Children (AMC) references on the soap as of late.

One that occurred this week has fans buzzing, so are these all just fun Easter eggs for viewers to gobble up, or is there more to this?

The AMC Easter Eggs

The AMC references in Port Charles date back to 2023 when Walt Willey reprised his AMC character, Jackson Montgomery on the soap in August of that year.

In 2024, Gh viewers heard AMC’s iconic character, Erica Kane’s (Susan Lucci) name dropped multiple times, and more recently, Valentin Cassadine (James Patrick Stuart) reminded fans of his former, AMC character as he was scrummaging through his old house, looking for documentation, when Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) stopped him in his tracks.

Sonny now owns Valentin’s house and everything in it. Thankfully the on-the-run criminal squirmed his way...

Live with Kelly and Mark is often filled with surprises.

While they have a preplanned show with guests, they can never predict who will attend and sit in the audience.

During Thursday’s episode of Live, Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos were transported back to their All My Children days when a familiar face was in the audience.

Kelly and Mark recognized Jill Larson, who was in the audience excitedly waiting for the show to begin.

Jill played Opal Cortlandt on All My Children, Kelly played Hayley Vaughn, and Mark played Mateo Santos.

The hosts were excited to see Jill and talk a bit during the show’s opening.

Ahead of the host chat on Live with Kelly and Mark, the cohosts noticed their friend, Jill Larson, was in the audience.

Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos explained how they were “so excited” because Jill Larson was there.

Felicia Minei Behr, a multiple Daytime Emmy-winning producer of ABC’s All My Children and Ryan’s Hope and a major force in that network’s powerhouse position in the soap opera universe of the 1970s, ’80s and ’90s, died Sunday, March 2, following a five-year battle with brain cancer. She was 82.

Her death was announced by daughters Kristina Behr Miller and Francesca Behr, who wrote on Facebook that their mother was surrounded by loved ones at the time of her death.

Born on September 21, 1942, on Long Island, NY, Behr began her TV career in 1960 as a secretary at CBS. In the following years she would move up the industry ladder with positions on The Jackie Gleason Show, The Ed Sullivan Show, The Garry Moore Show and ABC’s One Life to Live.

Eventually she would rise to SVP of ABC Daytime Programming from 2000-04.

Felicia Minei Behr, a producer on All My Children, Ryan’s Hope and As the World Turns who also served as a top executive at ABC Daytime, died Sunday after a five-year battle with brain cancer, her family announced. She was 82.

As an associate producer, Behr helped launch All My Children, created by Agnes Nixon, in 1970. She stayed until 1975, then produced and exec produced another ABC daytime drama, Ryan’s Hope, from 1981 until its conclusion in 1989.

She made it back to Pine Valley in 1989 and guided the Susan Lucci-starring All My Children to stellar ratings before exiting in 1996 to become executive producer of the CBS soap As the World Turns through 1999.

Recruited to halt eroding daytime ratings, she returned to ABC in 2000 as senior vp programming of ABC Daytime. Through 2004, she oversaw the network’s slate of soaps, which also included General Hospital, One Life to Live and Port Charles, as...

Felicia Minei Behr, the well-regarded former executive producer of “All My Children,” who later served as Senior Vice President of ABC Daytime, has died. She was 83 years old.

According to a statement released by her daughters, Kristina Behr Miller and Francesca Behr, on Facebook, Behr passed away on Sunday, March 2, following a five-year battle with brain cancer.

“We are writing on behalf of our mom, Felicia. She passed away peacefully on March 2nd surrounded by loved ones. We appreciate the love and support you have given our family over the last 5 years as she battled brain cancer,” they said on Facebook.

On Instagram, Kristina shared several photos of her mom and captioned the post, saying, “The irony that she has passed away on the day of the Oscars…it was her favorite, and we’d all watch it together as a family.” She added, “While we are heartbroken, we are...

The 97th Academy Awards was a joyous affair, full of big orchestral numbers, celebrity singalongs and a triumphant hosting debut from Conan O’Brien. While “Anora” led the night with five wins, there were several snubs and surprises. Check out our list of the biggest unexpected moments below.

Surprise: Mikey Madison wins over award season darling Demi Moore

Demi Moore’s brave performance in “The Substance” seemed like it was a shoo-in for the best actress statue, given her redemption arc throughout award season and wins at the Globes, SAGs and Critics Choice Awards. Yet Madison’s performance helped “Anora” — which was awarded best picture immediately after her win — lead the night.

Snub: Original Song performances nixed

Some of the most memorable Oscar moments of all time have been the best original song performances, from Diana Ross and Lionel Richie’s 1982 rendition of “Endless Love” to last year’s “I’m Just Ken” spectacular.

Joy Behar received a talking-to from her co-hosts on a recent episode of The View after she asked about something she should not have to a guest.

Joy Behar has stepped up lately in her work as moderator of The View while Whoopi Goldberg has been on vacation or ill.

After Whoopi stepped out on the Saturday Night Live red carpet for the SNL 50th Anniversary special, she caught the flu and was absent on The View for a few days.

Joy, who moderates The View when Whoopi is gone, filled in for her as she does frequently.

Sometimes moderating seems too much for Joy, and she says things she should not say, and this happened again recently.

Governor Jb Pritzker attended a taping of The View while Joy moderated and had to field some invasive questions.

Michael Strahan doesn’t shy away from sharing random thoughts during Good Morning America.

Over the past several weeks, he’s been on a roll, even when Robin Roberts called him out for a remark or seemed bewildered.

In a recent GMA episode, his co-star George Stephanopoulos and others lost it after his surprising nickname reveal.

Michael’s hilarious tidbit from his past arrived during the trio’s interview with comedian and bestselling author Chelsea Handler.

While she was there to talk about her newest book and upcoming Netflix special, she also shared an interesting career revelation.

It involved Jane Fonda calling her out, which led to a helpful revelation for Chelsea’s life and career.

The Good Morning America anchors experienced a classic soap move on Monday morning.

Things were going well with Michael Strahan, Robin Roberts, and George Stephanopoulos at the desk for the ABC morning program.

One of the guests was soap legend Susan Lucci. That’s right, the All My Children legend was doing press rounds for her new Off-Broadway play, My First Ex-Husband.

Even though it’s been well over a decade since AMC was canceled, Susan will forever be Erica Kane. She held the role for 40 years and is one of the most recognized faces in the industry.

While promoting the Off-Broadway play, which, by the way, has a Joy Behar connection, Susan brought some lessons from soaps with her for the GMA co-hosts.

Unfortunately for Michael, he was put in a fake scene opposite Susan.

The internet inside joke revolves around a character created by high school teacher-turned-social media star Julian Sewell. The 29-year-old, from New Zealand, first went viral on the app in 2023 when he posted a parody of the Oscars. “And the nominees for best actress are…” he begins in the video, which pans to Sewell as all five actresses. Each one is sporting a deliciously convincing wig as a 20-second clip from their made-up film follows, such as The Remedy — which appears to be a medical drama — or, poking fun at long movie names with a specific location, Awake, Alone and Aware on the Streets of Topeka, Kansas.

Whoopi Goldberg has been out sick on The View following her SNL 50 Anniversary Special red carpet walk.

Whoopi, who just shared some “secret news” with the ladies, contracted the flu and missed a week of work on The View.

Whoopi will be presenting at the upcoming Oscars in Los Angeles in early March, so this sickness is coming at a bad time for the veteran host.

Joy Behar stepped up again to cover for Whoopi, as she did in January while Whoopi was off in Paris.

Joy, who is starring in her Off-Broadway show, My First Ex-Husband, may not be able to maintain the stamina required to moderate The View.

Joy may need extra time off, which could be why The View is teasing a special new co-host.

Ariana Debose set to co-host on The View

ABC News sent a special press release showcasing The View’s schedule for the next week.

“As for Emilia Pérez, better luck in the other music category.” So we said two days ago. And luck, it seems, is going to play more of a factor here than ever seemed possible just a couple of weeks ago, in the wake of the film’s near-record-setting 13 nominations. In fact, that we’re even writing more than 50 words on this category is testament to just how badly things have gone for the one-time Oscar frontrunner.

Almost right out of the gate, every race handicapper knew that Zoe Saldaña’s “El Mal” represented the “chosen one” over the Selena Gomez showcase “Mi Camino,” an understanding built perhaps less through unspoken symbiosis and more out of the notion that the song contest is this year inexorably tied to the dynamics of the supporting actress race. But that was long before Netflix found itself sifting through the wreckage of a near-instantly ruined campaign.

NBC celebrated Saturday Night Live on Friday night with over three hours of music history on SNL50: The Homecoming Concert. The special hosted by Emmy winner Jimmy Fallon streamed live from Radio City Music Hall in New York City and is now available to stream on Peacock.

Musical acts included Arcade Fire, Backstreet Boys, Bad Bunny, Bonnie Raitt, Brandi Carlile, Brittany Howard, Cher, Chris Martin, Dave Grohl, David Byrne, Devo, Eddie Vedder, Jack White, Jelly Roll, Lady Gaga, Lauryn Hill, Miley Cyrus, Mumford & Sons, Post Malone, Preservation Hall Jazz Band, Robyn, Snoop Dogg, St. Vincent, the B-52s, the Roots, and Wyclef Jean. Surprise comedy musical performances included Bill Murray, Paul Shaffer, Andy Samberg, Chris Parnell, Will Ferrell, Ana Gasteyer, Maya Rudolph, Fred Armisen, and Tracy Morgan.

But that doesn’t end the festivities. Sunday night’s SNL50: The Anniversary Special will switch over from mostly music to almost...

The View’s panel has been looking very different recently, as co-host Joy Behar has been missing for some days. The good news is that she’s returned and recently offered up an explanation as to why she was absent.

Where Has Joy Behar Been?

Behar recently stepped up to the plate and jumped into the moderator role while Whoopi Goldberg was taking an extended break from the show. Still, when Whoopi returned, Joy then went missing for some days.

During her absence, The View brought in alum Star Jones to keep the conversation going, which was fun for both longtime and newer viewers of the show, but many wondered where Joy was and why she was missing.

Behar Explains Things to View Fans

Some viewers know that Behar has been preparing for her new off-Broadway show, ‘My First Ex-Husband’, and Goldberg had suggested her co-host was away because of this.

Jason Momoa and Adria Arjona walk the purple carpet together while attending the SNL50: The Homecoming Concert held at Radio City Music Hall on Friday night (February 14) in New York City.

The couple, who have been dating for almost a year, marked their first red carpet appearance together at the big concert event!

Also making their red carpet debut was Miley Cyrus and her beau of three years, Maxx Morando, as they were also joined by her mom Tish Cyrus-Purcell.

Miley was actually one of dozens of musicians who took the stage during the concert, performing her hit “Flowers” and a rendition of “Crazy Little Thing Called Love” with Brittany Howard.

In 2022, superstar songwriter Diane Warren was presented with an Academy Honorary Award “for her genius, generosity, and passionate commitment to the power of song in film.” But that prestigious honor hardly diminished her desire to take home a trophy for Best Original Song. “I still want the competitive one!” she tells Gold Derby. “My Oscar, he’s very lonely. He sits there by himself. He wants a boyfriend. He needs a friend.”

As the composer of 33 top 10 hits (nine of which topped the Billboard Hot 100); a Songwriters Hall of Fame inductee; and the recipient of a Grammy, an Emmy, an Ivor Novello Award, two Golden Globes, and a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, Warren clearly has nothing to prove. But she’s never been shy about the fact that she really wants to win that elusive Oscar, which she calls the “gold standard” of all awards and “the coolest thing in the world.

Joy Behar took a short break from The View to work on a unique project close to her heart, and that hard work is paying off.

Joy deserves a break from moderating The View since she pulled double duty while Whoopi Goldberg was off in Paris during Paris Fashion Week.

Joy did her best to hold down the show and keep the co-hosts and guests in line while Whoopi was away.

Joy’s hard work is paying off, as her co-workers have come out to celebrate the opening night of her new play, which has been on Off-Broadway.

Joy is a prolific writer who loves to write books and plays during her downtime away from The View. Now, she is taking a break from the show to play a part in her new play.

She recently shared that marriage and divorce have always fascinated her, and those thoughts branched out into her new play,...

Not many awards shows that have lasted 3 hours and 45 minutes have ever had a preponderance of viewers agreeing that this length was justified. Sunday night’s 67th annual Grammys telecast might be the exception that belongs in that very rarefied strata — a show so solid, so relatively fat-free, that you might not even have minded if it’d stretched a bit further to take up a few minutes in the east coast’s following calendar day. It had everything you could want out of a Grammycast: horse races that people actually cared about, a sense of connection to the real world outside of that suspense, and nary a dud across 16 packed performance slots.

Sure, you checked your watch… but at least partially in amazement that the show was still sustaining itself this flawlessly, this many hours in. Easily the best Grammys yet to be produced under the Ben Winston/Raj Kapoor/Jesse Collins administration,...

Kelly Ripa had a former co-star on her talk show this week, and they had a great conversation as they caught up on things. The two were talking about their former work together.

Cameron Diaz is a successful comedy and action star, known for roles in 1994's The Mask, 2006's The Holiday, and the Charlie's Angels trilogy.

Joy is a mainstay on The View, even taking on extra shifts as the moderator for the new show, The Weekend View, but she has a side job that is also taking off.

While Whoopi has been away in Paris showing off her new slim figure at Paris Fashion Week, Joy has kept busy with The View, the podcast, the new weekend show, and an Off-Broadway production.

Besides causing Joy to apologize to the live audience, Whoopi’s absence hasn’t fazed the veteran comedian as she promotes her new play, My First Ex-Husband.

Exciting news for All My Children (AMC) fans who would love to see more of Susan Lucci (Erica Kane). The daytime drama legend will be adding “off-Broadway” production to her resume, as she’s set to debut in ‘My First Ex-Husband’, produced by The View’s Joy Behar.

Behar also stars in the production that centers around women who are, “… married to their jobs, their faith, money and – the wrong man.”

‘My First Ex-Husband’ features a series of stories that highlight the “messy” truths surrounding love, marriage, and divorce, inevitably revealing the “chaotic, funny and often eye-opening realities of relationships.”

The first cast of ‘My First Ex-Husband’ consists of Behar, Adrienne C. Moore, Tovah Feldshuh, and Susie Essman. Meanwhile, Lucci is set to work with the second cast, including her former AMC co-star Tonya Pinkins (Livia Friye), as well as Cathy Moriarty,...

Joy Behar, best known for hosting The View, is about to come out with a new project. One well-known name is already attached: actress Susan Lucci, best known for her work on All My Children. The upcoming project even brought about a little reunion for the soap opera legend.

Joy Behar’s Project Already Has Quite A Few Names Attached

Behar has been the host of The View since the series started in 1997. However, she’s worn many hats over the years. Beforehand, she’s been a stand-up comedian, a radio talk-show host, and had even been a producer on Good Morning America, in addition to other projects.

However, Behar has recently come out with another new project. The TV personality is set to come out with her own off-Broadway show, My First Ex-Husband.

Joy Behar – YouTube

Playbill has released the following synopsis: “A no-holds-barred series of stories created by the legendary Joy Behar.

It’s hard to see anyone else take on the role of Mateo Santos on All My Children. But it could’ve happened. Mark Consuelos was almost passed for the role on the ABC daytime soap.

Soap Secrets

Secrets from the show were revealed during Susan Lucci in Conversation with Andy Cohen: All My Children at 55, which took place on Tuesday, January 14 in New York City. AMC’s casting director, Judy Blye Wilson, admitted it wasn’t easy to cast Consuelos for the role of Mateo.

“I don’t know why they were dragging their heels on it, but they actually had him play the role, so he started playing the role, and I had to continue to search for another person,” Wilson explained, per People. “So we screen-tested Mark several times. Finally, I begged the producer, and she relinquished, and it turned out to be the best, one...

Mark Consuelos is known for his co-hosting duties on Live With Kelly and Mark. However, he originally got his start on All My Children. Recently, one of the soap’s crewmembers revealed that they had to fight for Consuelos to be on the soap.

Mark Consuelos Owes A Lot To All My Children

Consuelos’ first acting role was on the educational serial, Connect With English. However, his breakout role would be playing Mateo Santos on All My Children in 1995.

The role would be very impactful for Consuelos, as it on the soap he would meet Kelly Ripa, his onscreen love-interest and future real-life spouse. In fact, the two married by 1996.

‘Live With Kelly & Mark’ – YouTube

Later, Consuelos would become his wife’s permanent co-host on Live With Kelly and Mark in 2023. Notably, he had been a guest co-host on the series for years, with Ripa joining the talk show in 2001.

Despite having a self-owned song catalog whose worth is estimated at up to a half-billion dollars, and despite famously having 15 Oscar nominations and a lifetime achievement award, Warren still maintains the aura and attitude of a street hustler, as if every new tune she’s pitching to the studios or the stars is the one that’ll finally catch her a break. You almost have to come up with a whole new multi-hyphenate descriptor to sum her up … something like mogul-urchin.

The new documentary “Diane Warren: Relentless” goes a long way toward first recapping the broad strokes of her story, for those who are encountering her on the late side, and satisfying additional curiosities that may still be held by those...

It’s been 55 years since All My Children premiered, and the legacy of the ABC soap lives on. During the Susan Lucci in Conversation with Andy Cohen: All My Children at 55, writer Lorraine Broderick opened up about the show’s ending and why it had to be altered at the last minute. “We had an entirely different happy ending of All My Children, the final script that we all worked so hard on,” Broderick revealed to the panelists and audience during the 92Ny Recanati-Kaplan Talks program on January 14. “And then they decided to pick up on this short term internet thing that happened and we had to go back in and change everything so that everything was a cliffhanger so that they would have something.” All My Children was canceled by ABC in 2011 after 41 years on the air. That same year, the rights to the soap were sold to Prospect Park,...

General Hospital (Gh) is the last of the daytime dramas on ABC, so it’s always nice when they sprinkle in some references to their now-canceled, sister soaps, One Life to Life (Oltl) and All My Children (AMC).

Amongst all the drama that hit the fan during the Tuesday, December 10 episode, Gh fans reacted in a big way when a small reference to AMC’s Erica Kane (Susan Lucci) was mentioned.

General Hospital – Fans Were Buzzing About The Scene

Wes Craven is widely known for shaping the horror genre with hits like Nightmare on Elm Street and Scream, but his lesser-known works reveal a filmmaker with a more nuanced approach to storytelling. Although many of his movies didn't achieve the same level of success, they highlight the director-writer-producer's ability to explore deeper themes and push the limits of genre filmmaking, particularly horror movies.

Craven’s work outside his most famous titles often explored darker, more experimental ideas, combining horror with psychologically intense themes. Some of his most underrated movies are not merely about shocking and scaring the viewer; they also examine human nature, fear, and the consequences of societal issues. Titles such as Wes Craven’s New Nightmare and The People Under the Stairs demonstrate Craven’s potential to innovate and challenge expectations, all while continuing to offer a still-fresh perspective on what horror can be. With much-deserved praise for his most popular works,...
