Background: Errol is one of the premier voices covering all five daily daytime dramas, including "Beyond the Gates," "The Bold and the Beautiful," "Days of our Lives," "General Hospital" and "The Young and the Restless." He began watching soaps in 1993, around the time Luke and Laura Spencer returned to “General Hospital,” but they weren’t what got him watching regularly. “It was Lucy Coe and her duck Sigmond,” he says of how he got started with soaps.
He received his BA from Baruch College, double-majoring in English Literature and Journalism, and double-minoring in Communications and Psychology. He also holds an AA in Business Administration.
The rich will be getting even more ruthless as UMC has renewed the Victoria Rowell (ex-Drucilla Winters, “The Young and the Restless”) created “The Rich and the Ruthless” for a second season.
Tequan Richmond (TJ Ashford, “General Hospital”) has been keeping himself busy this summer filming the all-new AwesomenessTV original series, “All Night,” which finds a group of recent graduates taking part in a lock-in graduation party where they spend an entire night doing whatever it takes to make what’s left of their time in high school come true. The 10-episode half-hour comedy series was recently picked up by Hulu and is set to premiere in 2018. Richmond is set to play the role of Christian.
How did the broadcast networks perform among Total Viewers and Adults 25-54 during coverage of the first total solar eclipse in 38 years? You’d be surprised.
While he turns 38 years old on Sunday, September 10, “The Bold and the Beautiful’s” Jacob Young (Rick Forrester) won’t let that pesky little detail stop him from performing at the South Point Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas as part of his big birthday celebration! The actor and musician has signed on to headline a Vegas show alongside fellow singer and friend Vanessa LeGrand.
After a leak of her appearance in a forthcoming episode of “Days of our Lives” hit the web recently, the show has officially confirmed Victoria Konefal’s casting as Ciara Brady. She first airs in early December.
With a hard “R” rating, “As The World Turns” alum Billy Magnussen (ex-Casey Hughes) shows his wild side as Nicky Sloane in the raunchy film “Ingrid Goes West,” set for wide release on Friday, August 25.
“General Hospital” will soon welcome ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith back to Port Charles. The host of “First Take” on ESPN2 will once again reprise his role as Brick, the surveillance expert working for Sonny Corinthos.
Netflix has given a green light to a second season of “Friends From College,” starring “As The World Turns” alum Annie Parisse. As was the case with the first season, the streaming service has ordered eight episodes of the half-hour comedy.
Sharp had a scheduling conflict that would have prevented him from taking part as filming commenced, forcing the show to recast, Soap Opera Network has learned.
