Long time, no hear. I know, but I’ve been doing a lot of things to bring the site up to a certain standard while also including things for you guys to make this place as fun and as interactive a place as it can be for you. First is the addition of two new articles for your reading pleasure. The first is a blogger recap of the Emmy Awards and their joy at Tamara’s win. The other is speculation of Tamara’s return to soaps as the recast Victoria on Y&R. Tamara definitely nixes those rumors stating that she has been approached by shows, but not Y&R The link to the article will be in the list update below the cut. She hasn’t said no to the possibility of returning to DAYS though. I’d have to ask what there would be for Ava to do. Stephen Nichols and Drake Hogestyn are both gone, so who would they pair Ava with? Next, there’s that pesky little thing about Ava’s causing the plane to crash and the death of Papa Shawn Brady (Frank Parker). No character can get over that hurdle of being the cause of the death of a beloved character. Look what’s happening on GH with Sarah Brown’s character of Claudia Zacchara and the shooting of Michael (Then Dylan Cash.) The only shows remaining are a return to AMC as Reese, which I think Tamara would rather have a red hot poker put in her eye then to return to Pratt’s version of a lesbian wet dream. The only other shows are OLTL, B&B and As The World Turns… or possibly GH as Carly. I’ve also included a fun section into the site. It’s a really cool thing where you can put together jigsaw puzzles of Tamara. So far, I’ve included only her soap characters of Carly, Ava, and Reese, plus four images of her with her new golden prize. I hope you enjoy. Next, is the addition of a Shout Box located below the featured video in the sidebar. Hope this is fun for you. The last is a search box under the welcome message. Here you can type in what you’d like to find and it’ll lead you to sections within the site that include that search term. You can also do a search from Google. So, I hope you enjoy the new stuff. I should also let you know that I’m going around seeing what needs to be cleaned up in the site. When I began putting it up back in 2006, I kind of just threw up content without really organizing it to any great degree. I’m also replacing old scans from the past several years that are really bad. I recently bought a new scanner with my new computer and I like the result better. You’ll likely be seeing new scans up in the gallery as you peruse it. Anyone who’s a regular visitor to TAMARA OBSCURA will know that I include the scan in the press section articles. What’s happening there is that I’m trying to clear out the backlog of articles I haven’t gotten to in the past three years. It’s the hope that I can get all remaining things up in the press section by the end of the year. Yes, I do have that much. Without further adieu….
