Former "As The World Turns" star Martha Byrne (ex-Lily Snyder) has landed on a new soap. Nelson Branco of TV Guide Canada (and SOS's Guilty Pleasure of 2008) is reporting Byrne will join the writing staff of CBS' "The Bold and the Beautiful" for a nine week trial run. Martha Byrne...soap scribe...we like the sound of that! Go Team Martha!
It's not uncommon for actors to delve in behind the scenes work. James DePaiva (Max, One Life to Live) joined "As The World Turns" as a director for the soap, and later wrote for "One Life to Live". Returning "Guiding Light" star Grant Aleksander (Phillip) also joined the directing staff of ATWT from 2006 to 2007. John Loprieno (ex-Cord, One Life to Live) earned a WGA and Daytime Emmy nomination for in 2006 for his work on OLTL.
One of the most notable to jump from actor to behind the scenes is Francesca James, who once played Kitty Davis and Kelly Cole on "All My Children." James created a very successful career behind the scenes, having served as a breakdown writer, producer, executive producer or director for six different soap operas since the 1980's. she began writing career on different writing staffs and has had a very successful career in writing.
We hope Bryne's trial run at B&B is successful. It's no secret SOS is totally "Team Martha". It's been our hope Byrne would get back into soaps after her controversial exit from "As The World Turns" in 2008. And though we'd love to see her on our screen, we're perfectly content with Mrs. Byrne behind the scenes…for the time being. ATWT's loss could turn out to be B&B's gain!
Good luck Martha!

WTF!!
It used to be pretty good, even did the best they could with such a crappy actor like Ron Moss (He should stick to music! I mean really?) I know they kept him cuz he was hot!! Not for his acting.
And now Jackie's married to a hot young guy and thats cool but why waste time with making the audience watch the both of them slam each other around having sex! She's a hot older women, but still!! Not to mention, but have the writers noticed that her son Nick looks older than she??
Sorry, but if this is Martha's idea of entertaining good writing?
Wrong!! Besides I'm sorry but she is such a dork! She can't help it, she just is. You can't make someone cool!
Please put some dignity back in the show. Even that crappy story line with the Ridge, Taylor, Brooke not only stupid!! BORING!!!
Sorry to be so blunt but I'm really frustrated!
