ATWT #51 As Janet's World Turns

Julianne Moore Returns to 'As the World Turns' on Monday

When it was announced last month that movie star Julianne Moore was returning to 'As the World Turns' for a guest appearance, it sounded like a prank. And the fact that today is April 1 -- April Fool's Day -- maybe you think this is a gag. It's not. Julianne Moore, four-time Oscar-nominated actress -- is really going back to her roots.

On Monday, April 5, Julianne Moore will be on 'As the World Turns' as Frannie Hughes, the character she played from 1985-87 on the CBS soap. She also played Frannie's look-alike British twin Sabrina. She was so good on 'ATWT' that she won the Daytime Emmy in 1988 for Outstanding Ingenue in a Drama Series. And she was! So often in the soap genre, actors are given the opportunity to play a twin -- evil or not -- and they either rise to the occasion... or crash and burn.

On 'General Hospital,' Anthony Geary, for instance, just never was right as Luke's cousin Bill Eckert, who looked like Luke the way Patty looked like Cathy in 'The Patty Duke Show.'

Anyway, as Frannie and Sabrina, Julianne was brilliant. She made them two distinctly different characters. And in the scenes in which they played opposite each other, the production was seamless, so that you were caught up in the illusion that there were two actresses at work, not just Julianne imagining a reflection of herself and vice versa.

When Moore makes her appearance on Monday, she'll only be Frannie. The character makes a surprise visit home to Oakdale where her father, Bob, is celebrating his wedding anniversary with Kim. She'll be visiting the Hughes clan, Tom and Margo and Barbara, all relatives. It'll be just like a real family. Take a look at the preview -- it's short, but really good!

Sadly, with the end of 'As the World Turns' coming in September, we'll lose that family connection. Soaps thrive on family and extended canvases of characters who are related. A 54-year old soap like 'ATWT' does family better than most any other show on the air. There are Stewarts and Walshes, Synders and Hughes ... many tentacles that reach into today's cast from characters decade old. We'll miss that when the show is gone.

Despite all the talk about finding a new home for 'ATWT,' that seems unlikely. Come September, like 'Guiding Light' before it, the 'World' will stop spinning and it'll be gone.

Het gaat altijd over dezelfde waardeloze personages. Ridge en Brooke die al miljoenen keren uit elkaar zijn gegaan en toch weer samenkomen.
Hele afleveringen brengen ze door in bed.
Het acteerwerk is, op Stephanie en Katie na, meestal tenenkrommend.
Wat een schijtserie.
