'Serial Scoop Now': 'Pride: The Series' Season 2 Premiere (Part 1)

The second season of Pride: The Series debuts later this month.
On the latest episode of Serial Scoop Now (2.12), host Roger Newcomb attends the Pride: The Series Season 2 premiere event and speaks with creator Dorell Anthony (who plays Kai) about the creation of the series, and what's ahead in the new season. We also chat with cast members Ilene Kristen (Eleanor), Lauren B. Martin (Tia), Jonathan Villanueva (Luis) and Terissa Kelton (Riley), who also serves as a producer on the series.

"I really wanted to create a show that gave back to people," reveals Dorell Anthony, "and give them a chance to express who they really are."

The iconic Ilene Kristen appreciates the creative side of working on independent productions.

"It's interesting to see people unleashing their creativity," she says.

Kristen also remembered legendary writer Claire Labine, who passed away earlier this year, and wrote years of memorable scripts for Kristen's Ryan's Hope character, Delia.

"Claire was the best writer that I've ever worked with," she explains. "When you got her scripts, you never wanted to change a line of them."

On April 28, One Life to Live stars Ilene Kristen (Roxy), Kristen Alderson (Star), Tonja Walker (Alex) and Jason Tam (Markko) were on hand for opening night of "The Marvelous Wonderettes," a musical revival starring their former co-star, Kathy Brier (Marcie).

"The Marvelous Wonderettes" takes a cotton-candied colored musical trip down memory lane to the 1958 Springfield High School prom where we meet “The Wonderettes”, four girls with hopes and dreams as big as their crinoline skirts. Audiences experience their lives and loves from prom night to their ten year reunion as told through more than twenty chart topping hits of the fifties and sixties including “Lollipop,” “Dream Lover,” “Son of a Preacher Man,” “Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me,” and “It’s My Party.”

Created, written, and originally directed by Roger Bean, the previous New York production played at the West Side Theatre from September 2008 to January 2010.

Serial Scoop Now caught up with Alderson, Kristen and Brier on the red carpet. Watch our interviews below.

25 Actors That Never Won a Daytime Emmy Award (But Should Have)

The 43rd annual Daytime Emmy Awards are being held tonight and will celebrate, among other things, the best actors and actresses in daytime television. Throughout its history, the Daytime Emmys have honored many of the greats like Anthony Geary, Susan Flannery, Erika Slezak, Kim Zimmer, Douglass Watson, David Canary, Larry Bryggman and Michael Zaslow. Several legends have received Lifetime Achievement Awards (Eileen Fulton, Rachel Ames and Don Hastings come to mind) while others were honored in other ways (Mary Stuart and Charita Bauer were given a Special Recognition Award in 1985). But some of the very best actors that ever worked in the medium have never won a Daytime Emmy Award, and a few of them have never even been nominated.

Below is our list of the Top 25 and the memorable roles they played that deserved the gold.

1. Beverlee McKinsey (Iris, Another World; Alexandra, Guiding Light)
2. Maureen Garrett (Holly, Guiding Light)
3. James Mitchell (Palmer, All My Children)
4. Ilene Kristen (Delia, Ryan's Hope; Roxy, One Life to Live)

After the song, Ava revealed her very much alive self to a shocked Delia. Watch Ilene Kristen's fantastic performance below:
