Will Rademacher Make The Finals?

IngoDancing0513.jpg

Last night on DANCING WITH THE STARS, GENERAL HOSPITAL's Ingo Rademacher (ex-Jax) and professional partner Kym Johnson scored three nines from the judges for their Charleston! "It was the most entertaining dance that we've done all season," Rademacher told us after the show. "The footwork was a little off; we did it better in dress. It was definitely a fun dance."

However, the actor wasn't nearly as pleased with their first dance, the samba. "I think if we'd had a really nice ballroom number," he mused. "A dance with cool lines. Big, beautiful lines. I feel like more of a dancer when I'm doing that kind of dance. The samba was definitely difficult for me."

But even if Rademacher doesn't make it into the finals, he's still content with his performance on the show. And he's got a bunch of paddleboard races in Hawaii coming up to keep him busy! Not to mention if GH asks him to return again. "If they call, I'm always ready to come back," he said. "It just won't be during race season. It'd have to be after July."

Make sure to tune in tonight at 9:00 pm EST on ABC to see if your votes were enough to push Rademacher and Johnson into the finals!

It's been over a decade since Dimitri Marick was in Pine Valley, but Michael Nader will be bringing his alter ego back to ALL MY CHILDREN on Monday, June 3! What brings him back to town after all these years? Turns out Brooke has offered Dimitri a job as the head of Chandler Media, a new division of Chandler Enterprises.

The "Clash Of The Condiments" Begins!

GHChew.jpg

If the pen is mightier than the sword, where does "relish" rank? In Quartermaine-land, it's way up there!

Tracy and A.J.'s battle for the condiment crown kicks off on Monday's GENERAL HOSPITAL, when the duo goes head-to-head in a Pickle-Whoever taste-off on THE CHEW. Although it looked as if Elizabeth used her "power of pretty" to get Nikolas to back off A.J., she was no match for Tracy's ability to reach into the Great Beyond and make contact with Edward! Yes, divine intervention had Tracy begging her dearly departed daddy for forgiveness for not saving ELQ and, just like "that," the guards Nik hired to keep TQ in check dropped like flies! Look out CHEW crew. Tracy is on her way, and she's ready to rumble!

T.J. can't catch a break. He asked Molly to be his prom date in the most romantic way EVAH, but then he got dumped. Yeah, he deserved it. He shouldn't have lured Rafe to Kelly's pretending to be Molly and then punch him in the face. Bad move. But the guy's in love and he knows Rafe is moving in on his girl. What's he supposed to do, ignore it? As if. He's 15! Can he make amends with Molly before the big day?

Morgan sure grew up nice. He is, however, easy to dupe. Fifty grand worth of "dupe," in fact! And he wants NO help getting out of this mess. He told his big bro, Michael, "I got this, Mikey. Same way I've handled my whole life since mom outsourced parenting to Sherman-Johnston Military Academy." Yup. That pretty much sums up what went wrong and when it went there. The shocking thing is that Carly turned to Sam for help. Sam! Isn't that the seventh sign of the Apocalypse?

This week, the relish revolt takes an odd turn, Morgan has "a plan" (that can't be good) and three familiar faces return as different characters. Guess who?! Don't forget: 2:00 ET and 1:00 PST/CT on ABC. Be there!

Lucci Helps Launch Daytime Television Exhibit

Lucci.jpg

Back in March we told you about a collaboration between NATAS and the Smithsonian Institute to bring some of the most iconic daytime television memorabilia to the national museum, and today the first donations were presented!

Today's ceremony officially launched a three-year collecting initiative between the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences (NATAS) and the National Museum of American History, aiming to help the museum expand its capacity to tell the story of daytime television and the Daytime Emmy Awards. At the ceremony, the Smithsonian accepted artifacts that reflect the contributions of daytime television programming, including a 1984 JEOPARDY! script from Alex Trebek, objects from the children's series BARNEY, and the gown that Susan Lucci (ex-Erica, ALL MY CHILDREN) wore on the cover of People magazine celebrating her legendary Daytime Emmy win. "They've asked me for [an AMC] script as well," the iconic daytime actress tells Soaps In Depth. "Plus, People is doing a big blow-up of the cover."

The daytime television collection (which will include children's programming, talk shows, game shows and cooking shows) will be part of a larger entertainment exhibit scheduled to open in 2015. "Right now, the area that the museum is going to devote to this exibit on American culture at large is under reconstruction," curator Dwight Blocker Bowers tells In Depth. "We have a very small soap opera collection, and this is an opportunity for us to add to it."

For more on this collaboration, check out an upcoming issue of Soaps In Depth.
