I have no words for today’s show other than Tamara was just heartbreaking. I cried I was so moved by what she gave us today. When Zach (Thorsten Kaye) was reading that letter, I just about jumped through the screen to hold Reese. I can state categorically, with what Bianca said to Reese before she left and with today’s letter, I can state I really don’t want Reese and Bianca back together. Bianca hasn’t shown any kind of compassion where it comes to Reese. There were two comments during the breakup that made me dislike Bianca and thsoe were the one where she said to Reese, “You’re a disgrace to your family,” and the one about feeling like she’d been raped again, and with how blithely Bianca said what she did about Reese finding peace at some point with her life…. I can state I hate Bianca. I really hope that with Thorsten re-signing, there’s the chance TPTB have reconsidered this ‘happy’ ending for Reese and Bianca. I want a full on Reese and Zach pairing. He’s the only one who seems truly remorseful for what has happened to Reese. Bianca, it seems, is completely clueless to Reese’s feelings and without a huge heaping helping of some mea culpas coming from Binks, I think this couple is done. There is no excuse for those hateful words coming from Bianca’s mouth. It was quite frankly, insulting. I want more for Reese than to have to continue to pay for something she didn’t do. Sure she kissed Zach, but for me Bianca’s self-fulfilling prophecy came true. She tested, pooked and prodded until her fears became realized and she has only herself to blame. I was informed last night that OBSCURE MEDIA has completed its migration. As you can see, I’ve uploaded the video for today. I’m hoping to clip up some of the remaining clips left to do. I’ll post as I get them done.

“No Law Can Make It Respectable.”This is the second of the major updates. Unfortunately, it’s the DEADWOOD version. There is one addition to the 2009 press section that would make Al Swearengen proud. I’ll point it out. As for this update. I’m almost at the end of getting the backlogged press articles added. And as for OBSCURE MEDIA, it’ll be a little more time before the migration to the new servers is done. Again, you can view the videos. I just can’t add any. SCREENCAPS

But teacher, my dog really did …..”I used that one before, haven’t I?Some explaining here. My apologies for not having updates up for the past almost week, but I’ve had almost the entirety of the ten plagues from Egypt erupting almost simultaneously. With the water I had coming into my apartment last week from the pipe rupture in the unit above mine, to the intestinal bug I’m STILL suffering from, to my computer crashing on me last week, it’s been one hell of a few days. I’ve been working to get caught up for the episodes this week. I’ll get to the update so as not to belaver the issue….. Lots of news. I read on a couple of message boards that Tamara may have confirmed she’s leaving in April. I’m not totally sure about this, but when I find out for sure, I’ll post here. This does concur with a short-term contract of about six months, about as long as her contract on Days of our Lives ran.Reese’s mother has been cast. She’ll be played by an amazing actress named Laila Robins who’ll play Claire Williams. Ironcially, Claire was the name of the character Tamara played in the Pretender: Murder 101 episode. Laila is an accomplished Broadway actress who has been in many independent film including one called The Blood Oranges starring British actor Charles Dance. It was a really beautiful movie. If you can rent it from your local video store or from Netflix, I highly recommend it. Laila also guest starred on a very good episode of Law & Order: Special Victims Unit called A Single Life, playing a woman whose sister commits suicide in order to rip open the family secret that her father molested them as children. I have the episode and took the liberty of clipping up Laila’s main scenes for you to check out her work. You can find it here: L&O: SVU. Laila is also married to Robert Cuccioli, the star of the hit Frank Wildhorn/Leslie Bricusse musical Jekyll & Hyde. He played both of course. I’ll have the article listed below. My only gripe about Tamara’s short stay on AMC is that we won’t get any scenes with both Laila and Frank Runyeon with Tamara as a family. Also, we’ll never know if Reese has any siblings. I’ve also added an interview of Tamara’s to OBSCURE MEDIA that she did back in February 2008. It was a radio interview she did on Gulf Coast Radio with Walter Jay, Lou Vickery and Randy Berger. The interview was for Little Chenier and I had it up at the old OBSCURE MEDIA site and only just found it. I hope you enjoy it. I’ll have it up at the update below.I’m also in the process of moving my main files to another external drive and getting some order to my Tamara Braun files. I have so much material it’s been difficult to get it all together to get it up at both the main site and the media files up at OBSCURE MEDIA. I’m hoping to get the bulk of Tamara’s episodic television roles posted, then work on getting the rest of her ALL MY CHILDREN, DAYS OF OUR LIVES and her GENERAL HOSPITAL material up. I’ve had a few emails from visitors who’ve never seen Tamara as Carly and who are eager to see her as the former Mrs. Corinthos. I have several new articles for you to read and as usual, all the relevant scans are up in the gallery plus on the main article pages. Remember you can click on the thumbnail to bring it up larger.

“Better late, than never!”My extreme apologies for not having these up on the day, but for some reason, life decided to take me on a different path these past few days. So I’m back, I’ve got updates and boy do I have updates. Read on McDuff…….Why is it some people are trying to link Tamara’s turn as Reese to that of Carly? I don’t get it nor do I completely understand it. The only thing they share is that Tamara played both. Nothing more. However as I glance around the web, there are some who are wanting to see the connection. I’m not naming names, just saying…. While I adored Tamara as Carly
