Tamara Braun

Check out the latest All My Children promo in which Bianca (Eden Riegel) isn't taking any bull from Reese (Tamara Braun) and Reese asks dramatically "Is the wedding off?"

Here come the brides, here come the brides. In an interview with Out.com All My Children's Eden Riegel and Tamara Braun talk about their character's storyline and engagement.  

I have to say I am fairly shocked to hear that Don Diamont (Brad) is leaving The Young and the Restless. This has to be the first major flag on the play for the new Dream Team behind CBS's rejuvenated sudser.

Diamont has long been one of the biggest draws for the soap and fans were looking forward to finally seeing his relationship with Sharon (Sharon Case) explored. Then there is the fact that his adopted daughter Abby is rumored to be returning to town as a teenager soon, which would no doubt reignite Brad's bitterness toward Victor (Eric Braeden), whose sperm was famously stolen by Brad's ex-wife Ashley (Eileen Davidson) to produce the tyke.

Okay you knew it was coming. Now that the Idiots In Charge of The-Soap-Opera-Formerly-Known-as-Days-of-Our-Lives have let the phenomenal Blake Berris go, I decided to start out doing a Wishful Casting about where Berris should end up, but it turned into more of an analysis of which soaps are managing to set things up for their next generation the right way, and which ones are getting it wrong, dead wrong.

Much of the daytime industry is experiencing a serious drought in terms of talented, young stars who can actually, you know, act. Save for The Young and the Restless, One Life to Live and General Hospital, the under 30 set at most soaps is pretty much comprised of rejects from the Pamela Anderson School of Acting and Pantomime.  I'll start with the soaps in most need of help and work my way up.

Frank Runyeon is returning to daytime, according to Soap Opera Digest.

The actor, whose soap credits include Another World, General Hospital, Melrose Place, Falcon Crest, Santa Barbara and As the World Turns, is set to play the father of All My Children's Reese (Tamara Braun), Forrest Williams.

The Bitches Are Back. If you're like me and have been going through withdrawals every Friday night for a Catherine and Heather fix (the shakes are always the worst part), then have I got news for you. Everyone's favorite Imaginary Bitches are back, and they've brought their flesh and soap counterparts Eden Riegel (Bianca, All My Children), Elizabeth Hendrickson (Chloe, The Young and the Restless), Greg Rikaart (Kevin, Y&R), Connie Fletcher Staton (ex-Erin, AMC), Sam Page (ex-Trey, AMC) and Brooke Nevin along for the ride.

Our pal Andrew Miller, who created the brilliant series— and graciously offers to help Eden run lines for her upcoming girl-on-girl makeout scenes with Tamara Braun— just sent me the link to the trailer for IB's first season DVD on sale Nov. 3. Continue Reading...

We brought you the news of Amanda Baker's (Babe, All My Children) departure a few weeks back and now the actress has confirmed her exit to Soap Opera Digest. Baker tells the mag that she is "going out with a bang."

Will Babe perish in the big tornado event for Sweeps? Will she be re-cast yet again? RUMORS have hit the internet that Alicia Leigh Willis (ex-Courtney, General Hospital) MAY be the next Babe. Tamara Braun just joined All My Children and is close friends with Willis. Will Tams and ALW be reunited? Weigh in!

Every so often a story breaks that reminds you why you haven't deleted the entire daytime soap lineup from your DVR. This past week such a development took place. ABC/SOAPnet announced the unforgettable Eden Riegel would be reprising her groundbreaking role as Bianca on All Ryan Lavery's Children. If that wasn't reason enough to make a pilgrimage to Mount Soap-Olympus, Binks will be coming home with a new lady love named Reese, played by none other than this blogger's all-time favorite General Hospital heroine Tamara Braun (ex-Carly). Talk about Gay Paree!

I must admit my excitement was initially mixed with a bit of panic . As much as I can't wait to see the Emmy-winning Riegel share screentime with "My Tamara"—as I affectionately started referring to Braun years ago on the SOAPnet GH message board —I was concerned  with what Riegel's return would mean for Imaginary Bitches, the show that singlehandedly made me give a damn about webisodic television. Not to worry, the lovely Riegel quieted all my fears and provided Daytime Confidential with some awesome insight into how Bink's return came about, whether or not Maggie is next and the future of Imaginary Bitches.

Daytime Confidential: Congrats on reprising your role as Bianca! How did it come about? Continue Reading...

Yes! Having two major gay couples on competing soaps can only help improve daytime.

One would hope, but I'm not sure.

No! I don't have faith in The Powers That Be.
