ALL MY CHILDREN Interview
AMC's William de Vry (Michael) Says Good-bye
— By Mara Levinsky
William de Vry (soon-to-be ex-Michael, ALL MY CHILDREN) made a lot of friends in the soap world during his year-long stay in Pine Valley. He shared his thoughts with Digest about who he'll miss the most.
— ABC
"From a character standpoint, it's more who I didn't work with [that I'll miss]. Dr. David [Vincent Irizarry] had a lot of vested interest in Michael; it's too bad we didn't get to work together. I would love to have matched wits with Michael E. Knight, Tad. I had my first scenes with Alicia [Minshew, Kendall] and I'm very, very fond of that first day on-set; it feels almost like a dream to me, like a fantasy. That first day on ALL MY CHILDREN with Alicia, having scene after scene after scene, I was in heaven. I loved it. I thought I'd died and gone to heaven. I will miss working with Alicia. Olga [Sosnovska, Lena] is extremely talented.
— Shirley Campagna
"There are a lot of actors I didn't see around the set very much: Jill Larson [Opal], Julia Barr [Brooke]. Never did get to meet Ruth Warrick [Phoebe]. Cameron [Mathison, Ryan] I haven't worked with at all, and yet we've become good friends and I think we'll remain so.
"Terri [Ivens, Simone] ... I just love her so much. She's genuine. Right or wrong, she is what she is and she is genuine about being right or wrong! You can't help but respect that. She's not always trying to be right or 'on.' You don't have to peel away layers to get to know who she is, and that's so refreshing. And it's a good reminder because I think a lot of us develop these callouses to protect ourselves and nobody really needs that.
"Terri went out of her way to help me with the Rainbow's Hope [charity] event [a cause close to de Vry's heart]. Michael E. Knight, I'm sure he just wants to come to work and not have to worry about too much, but he went out of his way to be there and to please the fans. It's such an eye-opener. It's touching. Just talking about it right now, I think about how grateful I am to them and how touching it was to see them interact with the kids who were there, kids with cancer, parents who have lost their children. It was a difficult evening in some ways.
"Marc Menard [Boyd], I know I can always count on. I am sure Marc and I will always be friends because he is always there for me. I am grateful to him. Catherine Hickland [Lindsay] from ONE LIFE, fantastic woman. I see what Michael [Knight, her husband] sees in her, obviously; I see what they see in each other.
"Dan Gauthier [Kevin, OLTL] is so much fun to be around and Nathaniel Marston [Al, OLTL] is another guy who's just like, he is what he is and he's so open about himself, it's refreshing. He's somewhat abrupt, but when you accept that he's somewhat abrupt, you're like, 'Man, this is cool, this is all right! Why didn't I get his number? He's a cool guy!' "
Jack of All Trades CBS.com had a backstage pass to Jack Wagner's concert at the Mohegan Sun Casino in Uncasville, Connecticut. We sat down with him for some one on one time after his sound check. Plus, check out a slideshow of photos from Jack Wagner's performance at Mohegan Sun Wolf Den.
CBS.com: Are you enjoying being back at Mohegan Sun? JACK WAGNER: Oh yes. I love this place. We don't see much, the body of river out there. That's it.
CBS.com: How many times have you been to Mohegan Sun? JACK WAGNER: It's the fourth or fifth time. Maybe 5 in three years? They must like me.
CBS.com: Do you change the show for fans who may have come out for more than one performance? JACK WAGNER: Yes the first year and a half I didn't. But now I've changed it a bit, added four or five new songs. I rehearsed in L.A. a couple nights before we came out here. The first night we did like 5 hours of rehearsal, and then the next night it was 2 hours. It just falls into place.
CBS.com: Are the new songs from past albums or did you just write them recently? JACK WAGNER: I brought a new tune in from my second album that I used to love; that is really cool and I'm excited to do that again. And I brought a song from two albums ago which was fun. So I'm starting the show off with these songs and it just rocks. Also the show’s changing with a little more electric guitar, and I added a Phil Collins tune and that's different.
CBS.com: Do you ever get tired of singing your big hit "All I Need"? JACK WAGNER: Never. It's a crowd pleaser. It's great to see everyone happy. I want to sing it over and over and over again.
CBS.com: Since this venue is an open area is it hard to conduct a sound check? JACK WAGNER: You can only give them a little taste. Because at Mohegan Sun it's an open area and they can see and listen. But hopefully they will hear the sound check and want to come back for more.
CBS.com: Is that an advantage or disadvantage for the stage being open to the rest of the casino? JACK WAGNER: Well it's kind of an advantage, just not for sound check. It's an advantage for the band, because you may have a few people looking in but if at the end of the show, your rockin’ you may have ten to twelve rows of people rocking beyond the theater's door. It's fun for people to stop by, hear you gamble a bit and come back around. It's a different venue, but I really like it.
CBS.com: When can fans see you next on the road? JACK WAGNER: We’re working on some dates, so stay tuned.
CBS.com: How about on B&B? Is Nick going to be singing anytime soon? JACK WAGNER: No. They have so many new young kids singing on the show. I feel like Frank Sinatra now. Nick has retired from singing for a bit.
CBS.com: Have you been overseas with your music? JACK WAGNER: Yes, the response there is great. I did an acoustic performance with my guitar players in Belgium. It takes a lot to take a project like Jack Wagner, former hit record, former this and that, it takes a lot of money and promotion to make it and that's difficult to do that.
CBS.com: Have you had any funny fan encounters when you go out and perform? JACK WAGNER: I had a lot when I was younger.
CBS.com: Girls throwing their underwear and bras at you? JACK WAGNER: Oh a lot of things on stage, we used to collect [what fans threw on stage] and send it to the children's hospital. Teddy Bears and all that. I remember bags and bags of stuff from young girls.
CBS.com: How about now? JACK WAGNER: Apples, fruits. They stop throwing all the good stuff years ago! [Laughs] It’s an interesting blend here, because I've been [at Mohegan Sun] so many times. You see people again.
CBS.com: Do your two sons have any musical talents? JACK WAGNER: No. [Laughs] Yes, my kids are musical. It just never stuck. They tried drums. Peter loves to golf and Harrison is really into the technology, computers. I try to be patient with him. My older son is more into golf and we’re buddies doing that.
CBS.com: What do you get more pleasure out of, acting or music? JACK WAGNER: That's a trick question. I came up on a musical theater background. I came to L.A. to act, and music fell in my lap. I was always a guitar player and a singer. Back in the 60's music and singing and acting was all put together. Singing, acting and dancing was like a triple threat, and that's how I trained in drama school. I've always been asked if I am a singer or an actor and I see myself primarily as an actor but more so as a performer. I feel like I'm not too old to move and I can still sing, so I am going to.
CBS.com: I really enjoyed you're dance moves on stage! JACK WAGNER: My backup dancers tell me what to Jack of All Trades do and where to move. “You are going to dance,” they say.
CBS.com: You'll be participating in the Lake Tahoe celebrity charity golf event again this year and you took home the big prize last year. Are you ready for a repeat? JACK WAGNER: Absolutely. I haven't been playing that much golf lately, but I love that tournament and to win last year and have my son Peter caddy--it was great.
CBS.com: Will Peter caddy again this year? JACK WAGNER: Oh yea. It's our week. He's a golfer, he loves it.
CBS.com: What's next for Nick? JACK WAGNER: He's had a slow summer. He worked every day for like 5 months, now he's taking a breather. So I think were going to get back to the embryo story. Who’s the mommy story.

ICONIC ... The Bold and the Beautiful stars Mackenzie Mauzy, Ronn Moss, Katherine Kelly Lang and Kyle Lowder filmed near the Opera House.
Emily Dunn June 28, 2007
KATHERINE KELLY LANG has a confession. Off set, the actress, better known as blonde temptress Brooke Logan from The Bold and the Beautiful, has started calling chiselled co-star Ronn Moss by his character's name, Ridge.
"Sometimes I just call him Ridge out of habit," Lang says. "I've noticed it happening more lately."
If the actors are experiencing an identity crisis, it is no wonder. Lang and Moss have played star-crossed lovers for 20 years. At last count, their characters had been married five times, although neither actor is sure of the official number. " I had to call the office and no one knew how many times they have been married," Lang says.
Lang and Moss were in Sydney in February, filming scenes for a series of episodes including a 20th-anniversary special. The episodes, which are currently screening on Ten, capitalise on the show's global popularity (it is the most-watched daily drama in the world).
They see Brooke and Ridge open the first international Forrester fashion boutique in Sydney, with Brooke's son Rick and Ridge's daughter Phoebe (from a previous marriage to psychiatrist Taylor), along for the ride. In a twist typical of the show's incestuous relationships, Rick and Phoebe are also romantically involved.
Lang and Moss agree some of the plot twists thrown at them by the show's writer and executive producer, Bradley Bell, can be difficult to swallow.
"You have to make the weird plots work," Moss says. "If you go, 'This is bullshit and I don't know how we can make it work,' you are doomed. Sometimes when we are rehearsing we will take the piss out of it and have fun. Then we can get to the heart of what it is supposed to be."
When it comes to the love stakes, no soap character can hold a candle to Brooke, officially the most married woman on TV. As well as her pairings with Ridge, she has married Ridge's stepfather (twice), both of Ridge's half-brothers and had an affair with her daughter's husband.
"Ridge and Brooke will always be connected, (but) the heart of the drama is not having us together," Lang says.
Other key characters, such as Rick, have been played by different actors but Moss doubts the show would survive without him and Lang. " It is completely conceited but I'd say no."

HUNTER TYLO (Taylor Hayes Forrester Marone) Hunter Tylo stars as Doctor Taylor Hayes Forrester, a psychiatrist married to Ridge Forrester who often puts the concerns of her patients before her own happiness, on The Bold and the Beautiful.
A former tomboy who broke horses, roped cattle and trained guard dogs, Hunter is widely considered the most beautiful woman on daytime television. She has been featured on the cover of TV Guide as one of the sexiest women in daytime and in People Magazine's "50 Most Beautiful People in the World" in 1993 and 1998. Raised in the Texas countryside, Hunter once spent her allowance on a mail-order alligator and considered becoming a veterinarian. She had to give up a scholarship, however, to raise a child and moved to Dallas to pursue modeling and commercial work. She gained valuable theatrical experience in the plays of Neil Simon and others, and earned her first movie role in the ABC movie-of-the-week License to Kill.
In 1985, Hunter became the street waif Robin McCall for three years on ABC's All My Children. A role on NBC's Days of Our Lives followed, with Tylo playing the wicked Marina Toscano. By joining the cast of The Bold and the Beautiful in 1990, Hunter has now appeared on all three major networks in top daytime dramas.
Hunter has also made guest appearances on such television series as Dallas, The Family Channel's Zorro and more recently Diagnosis Murder and Burke's Law. She starred in the worldwide hit mini-series The Maharaja's Daughter, which was shot in India and Canada. It was during this project that she met her former co-star on B&B Kabir Bedi.
Commercial work has always been plentiful for Tylo, who has represented such companies as Canada Dry, Nissan, Naturalizer and Cover Girl. She has also served as the spokesperson for Pantene.
An accomplished equestrienne bareback rider, Hunter lives in the San Fernando Valley with her husband, actor Michael Tylo, who portrayed "Blade" on The Young and the Restless, and her four children, Chris, Mickey, Izabella Gabrielle, and Katya Ariel. She also released a best-selling autobiography, "Making a Miracle."
Ridge Forrester Jr. as Dylan and Jordan Sprague June 22, 2004-present
Brooke gave birth to a son in June 2004. Dylan and Jordan shared the role of Ridge Jr. during the birth scenes with Alyssa, Rachel and Madison Miller. Ridge helped Brooke deliver her baby and immediately felt connected to the child. Nick wanted to tell Brooke that the baby was Ridge's before the baby arrived, but he and Mark arrive at Brooke's after the baby is born. Nick tells Brooke and Ridge that the paternity results were wrong, and Ridge is the father. Brooke and Ridge are stunned with the news that the baby is Ridge's. Nick tells them that his mother ran a second test. Ridge doubts Jackie's word and asks Dr. McLain to run another test. The doctor asks a friend at the lab to rush the results. Ridge warns Brooke not to get her hopes up. Brooke is excited that the baby might be theirs. Ridge tells Brooke that no matter what the paternity test reveals, he will love the baby as his own. Brooke is sure that they might have a chance to have it all again.
Stephanie comes in and tells Brooke that she knows Ridge delivered the baby. She asks Brooke how long she will subject Ridge to all this. Stephanie hopes that Ridge will realize that Brooke's place is with the father of the child. Brooke asks Stephanie if her feelings for Brooke would change if the baby had been Ridge's. Stephanie tells her that integrity and virtue always win in the end and if Brooke and Ridge were meant to be together, then the baby would have been Ridge's. Just then, Ridge and Nick enter with Dr. Maclaine. As Ridge smiles at Brooke, Brooke tells him that she wants Stephanie to hear this. Stephanie is shocked when Dr. Maclaine announces that Brooke has a healthy Forrester baby. Stephanie accepts Brooke's child as her grandchild and accepts Ridge and Brooke as a family along with Taylor's children. She was very worried that Taylor and Ridge's children were going to lose out on a mother figure with Brooke in the role of stepmom but she has accepted it.
The twins and Thomas were playing a card game at the table when Ridge and Brooke came in with the baby. They explained that Ridge helped deliver the baby and that the baby was Ridge's son and their brother. All three kids were very happy.
RJ was present for his parents' wedding in July 2004. His nanny held him throughout the wedding ceremony. Nick came to see Brooke after the wedding and stopped to see RJ as well.
Thorne and Darla were swimming at the beach house. Mommy made a comment about "how can so much sand get in one diaper" and then Thorne said, "she was helping daddy build a sand castle." Mommy said, "More like eating the sand castle." They started to laugh and then mommy took Alexandria in to change her and put her down for nap. Haven, born December 13, 2003, is played by Schae Harrison {Darla} and Mick Cain's {C.J.} real life son. She came back out with Daddy and he made the comment that she was tired, but to look and see who was here: it was Grandma Stephanie
The bride (Katherine Kelly Lang, Brooke) and groom (Jack Wagner, Nick) relaxed between scenes. "It was such a beautiful day," noted Lang. "It's nice to get out of the studio once in a while, especially to a place like this." The wedding guests (from l.) Jackie (Lesley-Anne Down), Dante (Antonio Sabato Jr.), Bridget (Ashley Jones) and Rick (Justin Torkildsen) were more than happy to smile for the camera. "It was great to see these guys again," enthused Torkildsen. "I really miss working with them."
The wind was an uplifting experience for Jones. "It felt so good to be in the sun," she smiled. "The studios are always so cold, but this is like heaven."
Nick wore his dress whites for the occasion, but did this mean he was in the Navy? "I think he went to the Rags To Riches store and got confused," quipped Wagner. "Even though he's a sea captain, I don't think he was in the military, but I think he wanted to formalize it somehow and pay his respects to the sea as well as his life. That was his way of doing it."
Brooke arrived for her wedding in a horse-drawn carriage. "I really felt like a princess," Lang giggled. "But it would've been fun if I had ridden in on horseback like I did at Brooke and Ridge's wedding [in 1994]."
For the exterior shots of Nick's boat, The Shady Marlin, B&B rented the vintage craft owned by actor Charles Nelson Reilly. "I'm trying to get my sea legs," laughed Lang.
'Bold and the Beautiful' Actress Darlene Conley Passes
LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Darlene Conley, a veteran stage and television actress who entertained daytime audiences for nearly two decades as the feisty fashion mogul Sally Spectra on ``The Bold and the Beautiful,'' has died. She was 72.
Conley died Sunday of stomach cancer at her Los Angeles home surrounded by family and friends, Eva Demirjian, a publicist for the CBS serial drama, said Monday.
She was diagnosed with cancer about three months ago, and the show's producers were deciding how to portray the fate of her character, Demirjian said.
``She constantly entertained us with every move, every breath, every inflection of her voice. Whether she was the villain, the damsel, the sexpot or the comedienne, Darlene was brilliant,'' said Bradley P. Bell, the show's executive producer.
She started on the long-running soap in December 1988, playing the flamboyant, red-haired chief of Spectra Creations and rival to Forrester Fashions. Her portrayal of Spectra earned her two Daytime Emmy nominations for best supporting actress and six Soap Opera Digest awards.
Daytime television ``is really the best medium today for women of a certain age to do something really flashy; i t's where what we do well as actresses matters,'' Conley once said.
The Chicago native began her acting career at 15 when she was cast in the touring production of the Broadway hit ``The Heiress.''
After graduating from high school, she appeared in several stage productions, including ``Cyrano de Bergerac,'' ``The Baker's Wife'' and ``Night of the Iguana.''
She later found work in front of the camera, making small appearances in the movies ``The Birds'' and ``Valley of the Dolls'' and such television shows as ``Murder, She Wrote,'' ``Cagney & Lacey'' and ``The Mary Tyler Moore Show.''
She landed meatier roles, however, on daytime television in the late 1970s, playing a range of characters on ``Days of Our Lives,'' ``General Hospital'' and ``The Young and Restless.''
Conley, who was divorced twice, is survived by her son, Raymond Woodson, and sisters Carol Fontana and Sharon Wilson.
