Salem We continue our goodbye to
Spencer, Garrett and Mitchell Gray with an update of
exclusive photos. We are also announcing a video contest.
The tragedy of Zack's death hit many Days fans, especially
Bo and Hope fans, right in the gut. We'd like to give you a
chance to take the emotion that you feel for the characters
and turn it into something creative. The Spencer,
Garrett and Mitchell Gray Official
website is sponsoring
a video tribute contest to honor the character of Beauregard
Isaac Theo "Zack" Brady. We are asking you to submit your
multimedia creations for review. They will be judged based
on their "tribute" value and how they honor the character of
Zack. Basically, if they bring on the tears, that's a GOOD
thing! Please post all submissions to
the Children
of Salem Discussion Forum
by February 28 or email them to Beth.
Winners will be notified in the middle of March. All prizes
are exclusive to this contest. They are to be awarded as
follows: Get busy creating! Please email Beth
with any questions January
8 Today we begin with
a large update for Spencer, Garrett and Mitchell Gray, in
honor of their 4 1/2 years on the show. We've added many of
their final scenes, as well as some other special moments
through the years. More will follow in upcoming weeks. If
you'd like to show your support of them and the character of
Zack, you might want to display one of our Gray or Zack
banners, seen here.
You can also leave them a goodbye message in our
forum. Children of

4 In honor of Alice
Horton, we have chosen not to update any individual pages
this week. Instead, we will honor her by paying tribute to
all of the children's lives she touched in Salem.
This week we mourn the loss of
Salem's favorite grandmother. Caroline Brady has always been
a Grandma to all, taking care of not only her grandchildren,
but the children of friends. She will surely be missed by
anyone who has enjoyed time with "Grandma Caroline." Feel
free to borrow our banner and link it back to our site,

29 From now on, announcements
about children's appearances, airdates, etc. will appear in
our message
forum. Please check it
regularly for updates. December
22 One Life to Live is keeping
the Buchanan dynasty alive. Canadian native Bree
Williamson has assumed
the role of Jessica Buchanan from the departing Erin Torpey,
who played the character for more than a decade. Williamson
will have a lot of family drama to contend with when she
takes on the part: Jessica's stepfather, Ben, is in a coma;
her mother still battles multiple personalities and her
birth father is the evil cult leader Mitch Laurence.
Williamson recently guest starred as Miranda Davis on an
episode of Mutant X. She also plays the leading role in
Izidore Musallam's Adam and Eve, scheduled to debut at the
2003 Toronto Film Festival. "Bree possesses a distinctive
star quality," says the actress's rep. "We are very excited
for her as she embarks on this next step of her career as a
regular player on OLTL." Williamson premieres on OLTL on
Feb. 5, two days after her on-screen brother, Joey Buchanan,
returns home. (info from

Just like her pal, Tammy (who is now being played by
Stephanie Gatschet), Guiding Light's Lizzie Spaulding will
experience a growth spurt this summer when preteen actress
Mackenzie Mauzy is replaced by slightly older teen Allison
Hirschlag. Allison, whose past credits include working as a
student director at the Dwight-Englewood Theatre, has soap
opera acting in her blood. Her mother is two time Daytime
Emmy Award winner Julia Barr, who began playing Brooke on
All My Children in 1976. Julia's real life pregnancy with
Allison was written into the show when Brooke was pregnant
with her daughter, Laura. So you could say Allison was
acting on daytime before she was even born! Allison spent
last summer, following her junior year in high school,
studying drama and English literature at Oxford University.
As part of her summer program, Allison starred as Olivia in
a student production of Twelfth Night. Mom Julia confides
that Allison is also a "wonderful writer," so show biz may
have another Carrie Fisher or Emma Thompson on its
hands.![]()

On Wednesday, May 1, following the departure of Jacob and Joshua Rips as JT, we will post a special update as a tribute to them. Numerous scenes will be added to their pages, as well as pics from their last show after it airs that day. Please check back on Wednesday night for our special tribute to the boys. If you haven't done so, please leave a message for the boys in their goodbye book. |
