Marston admits resisting arrest in fight

From the Associated Press:

Former OLTL star Nathaniel Marston has admitted resisting arrest in a plea deal that resolves charges stemming from a fight at a New York City gas station.

Marston pleaded guilty Thursday to the misdemeanor charge. He has completed an anger-management program, and his case is expected to be closed without jail time or probation.

Marston was accused of attacking three men with a metal crate and kicking at police officers during the scuffle in October 2007 at a service station. Police say one officer was bruised, and one man suffered a leg.

The 34-year-old actor played Dr. Michael McBain on the ABC soap opera from 2003 to 2007. He says he was dismissed after his arrest.

OLTL Breaking News: The End of Kish!

The axe has fallen once more in Llanview. Sources are confirming that OLTL has fired both halves of the popular couple known affectionately by fans as Kish.

Scott Evans and Brett Claywell have reportedly both been let go by the soap and are expected to make their final appearances in April. Evans has been on recurring status with the show, while Claywell joined the show as a contract player. The duo portrayed one of daytime's most talked about gay couples, Kyle Lewis & Oliver Fish.

The news comes as a shock to many fans, as the daytime drama experienced increased media visibility due to the Kish storyline. OLTL has been heralded by critics for their positive portrayal of the duo and their developing romance. This news comes on the heels of Scott Clifton's exit from the show, announced just days ago.

Bye Bye Schuy?

Say it ain't so! Multiple sources are reporting that OLTL hunk Scott Clifton has been let go from his role as Schuyler Joplin.

Since his days on GH, Clifton bulked up, and OLTL capitalized on Clifton's body by often featuring him shirtless. The man's not just hunky: Clifton has been involved in major storylines since Day One on the sudser, and the man can totally act.

Clifton has reportedly already taped his final scenes.

Soaphunks.net's Top 10 Latin Lovers

What makes a great Latin lover?

Well, obviously they have to be of Latin descent (sorry, Antonio Sabato, Jr.). They're generally heroic but always hot-blooded. They can fight for their true love but then also be just as gentle. Not all of the men on our countdown actually played Latin characters, but their heat was just as sizzling.

For our inaugural Soaphunks.net Top 10 countdown, we take a look back at the most swarthy, swoonworthy Latin lovers in soap history...you may need to sit down for this one!

Start the countdown...

Mark Lawson running around without underwear!

Hehe, well sort of. Check out OLTL superhunk Mark Lawson's recent interview on "Good Day LA."

Dattilo out at DAYS

Ending a short period of speculation, it is now being announced that the powers-that-be at DAYS have opted not to renew the contract of Bryan Dattilo, who has played Lucas Roberts on the NBC sudser for almost 16 years.

Nominated for 9 Soaphunks.net Awards during his tenure, Dattilo's character has languished on the back burner for quite a while.

Hunky Baldoni cast on B&B

Yum!!!

B&B further heightened its hunk factor with Friday's announcement of the casting of the ripped Justin Baldoni in the role of fashion photographer Graham Darros.

The hunkalicious Baldoni is best known to viewers of Everwood, Heroes, and CSI: Miami. His first airdate is Jan. 15th...just in time to qualify for a 2010 Soaphunks.net Award nomination as Hunkiest Newcomer. :)

Beemer, DAYS sweep 11th Annual Soaphunks.net Awards

A clean sweep for Brandon Beemer gave the B&B stud his first win as Best Hunk in the 11th Annual Soaphunks.net Awards, announced live Wednesday.

Beemer won all five categories in which he was nominated. In addition to the top award, he also won trophies for Best Pecs, Best Abs, Best Butt, and Best Eyes. The abs & eyes awards are his fourth consecutive wins in both of those categories.

Hearing about his wins, a wry Beemer told TVGuide Canada's Nelson Branco, "It's extremely flattering. Soap fans are so loyal. I was very impressed with the voter turnout because my competition was, um, stiff. As long as I make people happy, especially in these dark times, I'll continue to take my shirt off while acting my heart out."

Aside from Beemer's wins, everything else went to Sony's soaps, DAYS and Y&R. The well-organized DAYS voting bloc, in particular, managed a first-ever shutout of nominations leader ABC. (ABC voters managed a reverse rout in 2005.)

DAYS claimed the Hunkiest Soap title for the sixth time and saw five of its stars win individual awards: Shawn Christian (Best Hunk Over 40 & Best Arms), Mark Hapka (Hunkiest Newcomer & Best Face), Eric Martsolf (Best Chest), Galen Gering (his fourth Best Hair win) and James Scott (Best Smile & Best Voice).

The wins for Scott and Beemer moved both into a tie for the most Soaphunks.net Awards ever. Each actor has a career 13 wins from 18 nominations.

Voters also ended the staggering droughts of two Y&R hunks this year as Thad Luckinbill & Shemar Moore both won their first awards. Luckinbill's win as Most Shamefully Clothed was his first in 18 nominations (a record). Memo to Y&R: Get Luckinbill naked now! Moore's win as Most Missed Soap Hunk was his first in 13 attempts and was no doubt aided by Darius McCrary's recent casting as Malcolm Winters.

Those wins now move GH's Tyler Christopher into the role of the Soaphunks.net Susan Lucci, as now he holds 12 career nominations but no wins.
