hey this is actually old bloggy I did and cut/pasted here

I looked at a Melody Thomas Scott interview about her home, and she had a wall of magazine covers she did. Wow didn't know YR made so many People Weekly covers! (wayyy back when soaps mattered more in the 1980s) We got some sadder milestones this week. Eden Riegel is off AMC, moving to L.A. like Peyton and trying out pilots for next season. What made Eden stand out in this current state of soaps was that she made household press, being blurbed in Us Weekly (about the Lianca kiss) and carrying the title of first major character Lesbian role on a soap. Once again a young 20something actor has left soaps for other stuff! I cannot seriously think of any 20something actor choosing to stay for a second contract on soaps now! (after Becky Herbst in 2000). The other news is Tamara Braun leaving GH...I was perked by two comments on the peanut gallery. One poster wailing that most likely, we won't ever see Tamara on a constant basis again (guest spots?) and the other that this is prolly Tam's final chance of making it in Hollywood whether it be in film and (more likely I think, primetime)---with Tamara being close to mid-30s sigh and a cruel showbiz world where youth is queen. One deviant from this is the cast of Desperate Housewives with a 40something roster. (side note: She kinds of looks like marcia cross, verdad? Her and also Laura Leighton (who I thought could've been Kimberly's kid sis on Melrose instead of Jane's!)

I've been checking out the current crop of pilots listed on tv news sites, and Wow, I'm even bored reading blurbs about them. More cop shows? check. hospital dramas? check. Sci-Fi X-Files ripoffs? check. Once again, if Peyton is doing pilots this season, the only one I could see fit was the WB show about 20somethings (forgot what the title was). I saw the clips of her on Smallville. Dang, she looks young! And also to see her with more makeup on, yikes. I know she's just 18, but just how the last few months on ATWT, she managed to look so much older! Nothing is really standing out like Lost or DH, though notice YET more film actors going to try TV! Billy Baldwin, Fredde Prinze Jr., and Orlando Jones are doing pilots. Wait, ALOT of film actors of all ages are tryin TV. Guess this is going to be the wave in some time.
