Nadia Bjorlin

Michael Fairman went on location for the filming of Venice, Crystal Chappell's highly-anticipated web series, to get some scoops and previews for Advocate.com. During the visit he chatted with Chappell, co-star Jessica Leccia, writer-producer Kim Turrisi, Nadia Bjorlin and Gina Tognoni. Leccia shared the following.

Jessica Leccia (Chapell’s former love interest on GL) told me the character she plays in Venice, Ani, is far removed from her days in Springfield on the canceled CBS soap.

“Everything is pretty much different with Ani. They are night and day. Ani is way more with it than Natalia. She has a career and is goal-oriented and is on the pulse of everything. She is really busy and human and in love ... and all the things that come with that. She is way savvier than Natalia. Ani is going to be a force to be reckoned with and is more of a go-getter to get what she wants. Gina may be what she wants, and that is her big dilemma in this whole thing ... loving somebody and not having it the way she would like it to be.”

It looks like the road to true love for Gina (Crystal Chappell) and Ani (Jessica Leccia) will be paved with plenty of gorgeous bumps along the road once Venice premieres next month. TV Guide Canada's Nelson Branco is reporting the sexsational Nadia Bjorlin will be appearing as a love interest for Ani on the sapphic soap. Maxim staple Bjorlin going gay-for-pay? Venice just enticed an entirely new demographic before it's even premiered — horny frat boys, and straight male soap opera executives!

Well damn, Kate's not playing around, is she?

Two of television's most beautiful people, The Bold and the Beautiful's Brandon Beemer and Days of Our Lives' Nadia Bjorlin, have lent their looks to fight the ban on gay marriage in California.

Many of daytime's popular actresses chose classic black, grey or silver on The 36th Annual Daytime Emmy red carpet. Nadia Bjorlin looked amazing in black . Outstanding Supporting Actress winner Tamara Braun–who won for her role on Days of Our Lives–chose a sultry grey. See what Days of Our Lives'  Shelley Hennig and Rachel Melvin, Guiding Light's Kim Zimmer, The Young and the Restless'  Elizabeth Hendrickson, Tracey Bregman and Brenda Dickson, As the World Turns'  Terri Colombino, Julie Pinson, Kelley Menighan Hensley, General Hospital's Laura Wright and The Bold and the Beautiful's Ashley Jones chose to wear HERE.

Nadia Bjorlin

Boston.com is reporting that Days of Our Lives star Nadia Bjorlin was recently in a car accident that almost caused serious harm.

“We went flying,’’ she said, adding that had it not been for a castmate who held her back, she might have been window-bound. For the record, Bjorlin was not driving (the cast was driven around in a town car). The accident happened on Bjorlin’s way to Fenway Park, where she had been booked Friday to sing the national anthem before the Red Sox-Yankees game.

Okay, okay, I'll put you guys out of your misery. My blind item from yesterday was in fact Kevin Spirtas. We hear Spirtas will soon reprise the role of Dr. Craig Wesley on Days of Our Lives for a three-day stint.

SPOILER ALERT

The vengeful Kate Roberts (Lauren Koslow) will almost succeed in her plot to kill Chloe (Nadia Bjorlin), landing the songbird in a coma. Craig returns for a few days to hold vigil. Unfortunately for Craig and Nancy fans, Patrika Darbo isn't slated to join her former onscreen hubby in Salem.  DAYS would be smart to bring back Spirtas and Darbo full-time and bring their SORAS'ed daughter Joy to town to interact with Mia, Chad and Will. Chloe needs her family!

Days of Our Lives' really letting fans know that they are still in the soap game with this promo for the summer. How cute is the little guy playing Theo? This may change my tune about the show....
