http://www.nydailynews.com/entertainment/tv/2009/06/26/2009-06-26_new_days_of_our_lives_will_dawn_for_chappell.html New 'Days of Our Lives' will dawn for Crystal Chappell By Carolyn Hinsey Friday, June 26th 2009 If the canceled "Guiding Light" does move to cable, it will do so without one of its biggest stars, Crystal Chappell, who has just signed with "Days of Our Lives." "I'm really excited," says Chappell, who will be reprising the role of Carly Manning, which she left 16 years ago. "I was in L.A. meeting with some people, and Gary [Tomlin, executive producer] called me out of the blue. By the end of lunch, I was thinking, 'This is really intriguing.'" Chappell admits the decision is bittersweet. "At this point, all ["GL" execs] can say to us is, 'We encourage you to move on. As of today, Sept. 18 will be the last air show.' If I was independently wealthy, I would gladly hang out and wait for 'GL' to find a home. Unfortunately, I am not one of those people." "GL" is slated to finish taping in early August, at which point Chappell will move back to California, where she and hubby Michael Sabatino (ex-Lawrence, "Days") have a home with their sons. As for how her "GL" story will end, she says, "I'm not going to die, if that matters to anybody." Her story is complicated since her character, Olivia, is involved in a lesbian love story with Natalia, and Natalia's portrayer, Jessica Leccia, just went on maternity leave. "Natalia gets a diagnosis that sends her off, and she leaves town," says Chappell. "Jessica is coming back from maternity leave after the Fourth of July break, so we'll have four weeks to tie it up. From what I've been told, it will be a hopeful end." As for her new beginning, "I am curious to see where Carly has been for 16 years. I imagine I would be part of a story with Bo and Hope. The only thing I know is that Wally Kurth is also coming back [as Justin], so I imagine I'll work with him." Which will make it old home week for them both. "My first day on 'Days,' I took my top off for Wally, so it's full circle," she says with a laugh. "I was so new, I would have said yes to anything. 'Would you mind taking your top off?' 'Sure. Six years of Catholic school? I'm good.' I was totally not prepared for that!" |

I really hope they have Carly involved with Justin, moreso than Bo and Hope. |

How long is her contract with Days? Is this a brief stint to give Bope a storyline? |

I haven't seen her contract terms posted anywhere yet (and they may never be), but it doesn't sound like a brief stint. She's moving her family to California, for one thing! |

Me too.I liked Bo and Carly back in the day.But I really don't want her to have been pining for him all these years.Its bad enough they did that with Billie.Besides she left town with another man.I think Carly and Justin would be interesting.I wonder what happened between her and Lawrence though? |
