Bio

Jennifer Landon (ex-Gwen, ATWT)

Born and raised in Malibu, CA, with mom Cindy and younger brother Sean, Jennifer Landon is the youngest daughter of Michael Landon. This quirky, engaging actress knew she wanted to follow in his footsteps at age 6, when her "performance" as Ursula the sea witch from The Little Mermaid went over well at a birthday party. MORE

Murderesses' Row

Adam may not necessarily be dead, but if he is, there's no doubt that Maddie did it, and Gwen helped her cover it up. However, the girls' plight reminded us of some other Oakdale heroines who were falsely accused of murder — and these ladies were all innocent. MORE

Oakdale Waiting Games

First there was "Secret Blog of an Oakdale Bartender," then "Confessions of an Oakdale Barista." Not to be outdone, an overworked waitress at AS THE WORLD TURNS' busiest diner vents about her thankless job (and her high school nemesis). MORE

The Old Switcheroo

ATWT is in the middle of a big umbrella story surrounding a baby switch. Sound familiar? It’s a tale so nice, soaps have told it ... ad nauseum, actually. Most recently, in the high-profile 2003-04 AMC/OLTL crossover extravaganza. Did you really expect us to resist a side-by-side comparison? MORE

Eye On The Prize: Part II

We had so much left over from our interview (from the 8/30 issue) with CBS's Barbara Bloom, senior vice president, Daytime, that it's enough for a whole other article. Here's what we couldn't fit, from her favorite storylines to GL's budget cuts. MORE

Take Five?

ATWT's Brian Gaskill (BJ) is a great interview subject in that when he answers a question, he really answers the heck out of it — so much so that the transcript was over 7,000 words, less than 1,000 of which made it to our 11/8 Digest interview. Here's a snippet of what you missed. MORE
