Making the Big Leagues

TV Guide Canada's Soap Opera guru Nelson Branco just mentioned The All My Children History Project in his latest column. Here is the excerpt from the article:

All My Children, A/ABC — Tylo to AMC: I want in!
— In his first interview since the death of his son, Mickey, Michael Tylo (ex-Matt) told AMC’s history page website that he relied on his former Pine Valley castmates during his grief. "I heard from a lot of them when Mickey passed away: Jean LeClerc (Jeremy), Kate Collins (Natalie/Janet)," Tylo shared, before adding, "I think about him everyday. It's tough." Tylo also revealed he’s engaged to Rachelle Reichert and wouldn’t say no to a soap comeback. “I do want to go down to All My Children and see how it is working,” he offered. “I am teaching a Daytime Drama class next semester. I want to see if I can get on set and observe. I always believe that what I have to give the students has to be fresh, and things have changed on the soap set. If they wanted me back on a soap in New York, this would be a great way to tell people I am still here." For more on the informative interview visit here.

I am so excited. In the almost five years I have been maintaining the site (in its various forms: a MSN Group, a Free Web Site) I have never received mainstream press mentions until now. It is bittersweet that it is related to the Tylo article for which I received a lot of flack from.

Expect a new interview in the Where Are They Now? section next Monday. It will be another fun look into the actors lives in Pine Valley when the cameras are off.

Online Summary

Loyal readers, I must apologize for the lack of updates this week. A few family issues coupled with the barrage of emails I received regarding Mr. Tylo's interview has really cut down the amount of time I have to work on updates. Contrary to popular belief, this site takes a lot of time to maintain.

That being said, here are three really good online features that have popped up this week:
Adam Chandler's Wedding Gallery on SoapNet
Tad and Dixie Gallery on SoapNet
Random Quotes on SODOnline

Where Are They Now? Michael Tylo (ex-Matt Connolly, 1986-88)

Veteran soap star Michael Tylo opens up about the ups and downs of his personal and professional life. Now a professor at the University of Nevada Las Vegas, Tylo instructs the upcoming generation of actors on the intricacies of film and television acting.

But Tylo is ready to make his big return to daytime:
"You know professors either have to write or do, and there is nothing I feel compelled to write."
