cast as, in her words, “the apple-pie, blond-haired, blue-eyed,
all-American girl.” Her various roles on TV shows and movies like
“Baywatch,” “Shallow Hal,” “Miss Guided” and “Pepper Dennis” showcased
her sweetness; the more recent “Melrose Place” incarnation allowed her
to explore her dark side. Well, get ready for a whole lotta dark-side

Daytime veteran Greg Vaughan stepped into the role, and into a clerical collar, a few months ago, with a story line that was unexpected to Greg and his fans. I spoke with “Father” Greg a few weeks back about taking on this new role and how he’s adjusting to the “Days of our Lives” set.

Since ABC — unfairly, in my opinion, as my
readers are aware — canceled “GCB,” I’ve been waiting to see its stars
in other shows and movies. One of the series’ stars, Mark Deklin, can be
seen next in an episode of “Castle” (to be shown this winter), as well
as next year’s feature film “Tarzan” (which also stars Kellan Lutz, of
“The Twilight Saga”).
