Cast Appearances Saturdays- Torchwood (John Barrowman, BBC America) Weekdays- Bold & The Beautiful (Jack Wagner, CBS) News Flash Do you have any news? Submit it Here! Elizabeth Bogush: Class Actress <===> Katie Stuart: Sugar & Spice Rademacher's A Dad Again! GENERAL HOSPITAL's Ingo Rademacher (ex-Jax) helped give his wife, Ehiku, one heck of a Mother's Day present on Sunday, May 13, when she delivered their second son, Pohaku! "My wife @EhikuRademacher gave birth to our son Pohaku this morning at our Hawaii house," Rademacher tweeted. "Every one is doing great. Happy Mothers Day." Pohaku joins two-year-old brother Peanut in the Rademacher Family, and interestingly, in a later tweet, the actor revealed that their boys both have the same name — Pohaku is actually Hawaiian for "peanut!" Jack Wagner Says Life's 'Not Over' After Dancing with the Stars Elimination Jack Wagner will be walking tall after leaving the dance floor. "I think I'm going to walk differently in my life. I learned about posture," says the actor, who was voted off Dancing with the Stars Tuesday night. "I'm sad but it is what it is," he says about being eliminated along with his partner Anna Trebunskaya. The couple was in a five-way tie for last place. "Life's not over." Wagner has a lot to celebrate these days: On Monday night, he shared the personal story about discovering he had a daughter. "It's kind of sad to tell an intimate story, like [I did] last night and get voted off," he said. But he was grateful for the experience. "It was very special," Wagner told PEOPLE. "A miracle happened and I got to tell that story and shine a light on her." 'Dancing With the Stars': Jack Wagner talks about saying goodbye It came down to a decision between singer Gavin Degraw and actor Jack Wagner on week 2 of "Dancing With the Stars." In the last moment, it was revealed that Wagner was the one voted off. We got a chance to chat with Wagner in his final "DWTS" interview. He talked about what he'd miss. "It was a great ride," he says. "I think, you know, everybody was very close and it is what it is. You know, I am going to miss Anna (Trubunskya) and kind of strapping it on every day. You really have, every day, you have a goal to get through the day and get better so you have got to kind of carry that on now in real life." Wagner, who's daughter is a ballroom dancer joked that she'll probably still give him advice, but says she was in the audience tonight and she's really upset. What did you think of Wagner's elimination? Did you think he deserved to go? Dancing With the Stars Elimination Downer: Most Memorable Year Leads to a Crummy Night "No one deserves to go home tonight," proclaimed Dancing With the Stars judge Len Goodman as Tuesday's elimination show got underway. That was just wishful thinking, of course, because another couple had to go, even after an unheard-of performance night when no one scored lower than a 24 (whether they deserved it or not). So, who was the unluckiest in viewer love? He didn't want to be the one to go home—and Gavin DeGraw wasn't! Instead, seemingly out of nowhere, Jack Wagner got the boot despite a samba dedicated to his long-lost daughter, Kerry, who was in the ballroom last night. "It was a great time and it was fun to test myself. Thanks to the judges, I appreciate it, and good luck to everybody else!" the visibly surprised actor said. Safe for at least another week are the obvious choices (Katherine Jenkins, William Levy, Jaleel White and Donald Driver), the solid middle of the pack (Sherri Shepherd, Roshon Fegen and, after last night anyway, Gavin) and the, er, wild cards (Gladys Knight and Melissa Gilbert). And, Tom Bergeron introduced a very Idol-esque, SYTYCD-ish, Voice-y twist: for the next four weeks, the bottom two couples will dance for their lives simultaneously and the judges will then decide who goes home. Priceless beauty Former “Dynasty” star Catherine Oxenberg still has what it takes to win over wealthy admirers. The stunning 50-year-old actress was at the Muscat International Film Festival in Oman late last week when a sheik attending the event offered her husband, actor Casper Van Dien, $2 million dollars for his wife. Casper responded, “That offer is way too low. She is priceless!” Honored with the Golden Khanjar award were Forest Whitaker and Susan Sarandon, and “Black Swan” director Darren Aronofsky headed the youth film judging. Pilot Season: Torchwood's John Barrowman to Star in ABC's Gilded Lilys Drama Captain Jack is back! John Barrowman, best-known for playing the immortal Jack Harkness on Torchwood, has landed a leading role in ABC's Gilded Lilys pilot from Shonda Rhimes, TVGuide.com has learned exclusively. The project is an upstairs-downstairs look at the opening of the first true luxury hotel built in New York City circa 1895. Barrowman will play Julius Ashford Lily, the golden boy of the prestigious Lily family opening the hotel. He's mama's favorite son, who's very charming, lucky and loose. As previously announced, Brian F. O'Byrne, Blythe Danner, Madeline Zima, Matt Lauria, Matt Long, Brigid Brannagh, Maury Sterling and Sarah Bolger will also star. The pilot was written by KJ Steinberg (Gossip Girl, The Nine) with Rhimes and Betsy Beers (Grey's Anatomy, Private Practice) executive-producing. Heather Locklear-Jack Wagner Rumble: Case Closed Maybe they were just acting out a scene from their old Melrose Place days. Neither Heather Locklear nor Jack Wagner will face charges in connection with an alleged physical altercation between them in late December, the Los Angeles City Attorney's Office confirms to E! News. Both actors, who called off their engagement in November, appeared at an office hearing on Feb. 9, during which they agreed that they didn't want to pursue the matter further. And that was good enough for the court? "No further action is anticipated at this time," says city attorney spokesman Frank Mateljan. What supposedly went down between Locklear and Wagner last year has not been detailed in public records and neither side has breathed a word to the media. One day, all of a sudden, the two were just in court with the possiblity of misdemeanor battery charges hanging over their heads. Locklear was hospitalized overnight last month after her sister, in a panicked call to 911, expressed fear that the actress was going to harm herself. Rademacher Visits HAWAII Next Week! Shortly after GENERAL HOSPITAL's Ingo Rademacher (Jax) moved his family to Hawaii, the actor landed a guest spot on the popular CBS police procedural drama HAWAII FIVE-0, which just so happens to tape in the tropical state! "We'd been planning to make this move for a while, and look how it worked out," Rademacher marvels. "The moment I come over here, I got on HAWAII FIVE-0 immediately." Rademacher will guest star in the episode titled "Pahele," airing next Monday, December 5. When a school bus full of children is hijacked and a rather odd ransom demand is made, the Five-0 team heads off on a wild chase to rescue the students. But it may just turn out that Rademacher's character, Malcolm Schaefer, has more to do with the abduction than simply being a concerned father of one of the missing kids! "It was a nice welcome to Hawaii picking up the show just as we were moving there," he shares. "The cast a crew are super nice, like at GH. The whole experience was really fun. Hope I get to do it again!" Tune in to HAWAII FIVE-0 at 10 p.m. EST on CBS. 'Doctor Who' star tackles thief Doctor Who star John Barrowman has been hailed a hero after he bravely tackled a teenage thief at a hotel. The actor/singer was in Glasgow, Scotland for a concert and was relaxing in his room on Thursday morning when he heard a woman scream for help. He dashed out into the hallway and saw a burglar fleeing the building - so he pounced on the crook and pinned him down until police arrived. Barrowman tells Scotland's Daily Record, "The concierge was trying to sort my air conditioning. We heard this woman scream and shout, 'Stop him, stop him.' We saw this young boy running down the hallway. "I told the concierge to chase him and called the hotel operator and told them to block the staircase so we could get him. The lad had tried to get away through the staff elevator and punched the concierge. "I grabbed the kid's ankles, yanked him to the ground and then pulled him out into the hallway. I pinned him down. My tour manager then arrived and the three of us held him down until the police came." Hollywood Christmas Parade Tree Lighting Jack Wagner (Nick, B&b/ex-Frisco, GH) performed two songs for the Hollywood Christmas Parade Tree Lighting Concert at Universal Citywalk, which will air Dec. 12 on the Hallmark Channel. Video: Jack Wagner and Long-Lost Daughter Reunite After 23 Years (Video) Yes, you might need a Kleenex. Melrose Place's Jack Wagner (Nick, B&B/ex-Frisco, GH) has been making headlines after his engagement with Heather Locklear was called off, but now he's in the spotlight for a much more heartwarming story, as E! News learns that the soap star was confronted by a daughter he never knew he had. According to reports, Wagner was ready to rock the stage with Rick Springfield at a concert in Boca Raton, Fla., earlier this month when he came face-to-face with a 23-year-old young woman named Kerry right before the show, who told him that he was her father. We're sure the actor was stunned, but more so, he was extremely touched. Wagner invited Kerry to another show the following day, where he told the crowd, "Some of you have seen me, on the boat or around, I've been walking around with this beautiful girl and my daughter found me," and pulled her onstage. That's when she started crying—and shortly after, we did, too. Kerry reportedly grew up in New York City with foster parents—although Wagner's rep tells E! News that he did not put her up for adoption—and hired some private investigators to help track down her biological parents. His rep tells us that the "two reuniting is a wonderful story," and they are expected to spend Thanksgiving together. Jack Wagner / Heather Locklear Engagement -- Torpedoed By Wedding Plans Jack Wagner's engagement to Heather Lockear blew up because of the pressures of planning their wedding. Jack tells TMZ ... the wedding plans became so all-consuming, they had little or no time to spend with their respective kids. And there was another complication. Jack says he and Heather decided a blended family was not a good idea, because their kids were too young and it would be too disruptive. So on top of the wedding plans, Jack had to spend time alone with his 2 sons, and Heather spent her remaining time with daughter Ava. In short ... no time for each other. But Jack tell us ... he's still in touch with Heather and they "still love each other very much." Heather Locklear and Jack Wagner Call Off Engagement Heather Locklear and Jack Wagner's Melrose Place characters wed on TV almost a decade ago, but there is no real-life marriage in the works for the actors who played Amanda Woodward and Peter Burns. "Jack and Heather are no longer engaged," Locklear's rep tells PEOPLE. The longtime couple, who got engaged in August, had Locklear's daughter Ava's stamp of approval. "Ava was so excited when we told her," Locklear, 50, told PEOPLE shortly after the big announcement. "She hugged Jack, said congratulations, and she immediately wanted to see the ring. Then she ran and Facebooked her new stepbrother." The actress was previously married to rockers Tommy Lee (1986 to 1993) and Richie Sambora (1994 to 2006). Rademacher & Wife Expecting! Ingo Rademacher (Jax, GH) shared on Twitter yesterday (Nov 14), that he and wife Ehiku are expecting another baby! "We have number 2 kid on the way. Pretty fun." Hawaii Five-0 Books General Hospital's Ingo Rademacher Former General Hospital dreamboat Ingo Rademacher is saying aloha to Hawaii Five-0. The actor has signed on to guest star in an early ’12 episode of the CBS drama, sources confirm to TVLine. He’ll play a father whose kid is being held prisoner on a hijacked school bus — a crisis his character may be more involved in than he initially led McGarrett and Co. to believe. This is Rademacher’s first TV gig since wrapping up his nearly continuous 15-year run as Jax on GH. He also recently shot a role in the big screen thriller I, Alex Cross, due out next year. Heather Locklear, Jack Wagner Hit the Beach for Her 50th Birthday (Photo) Life's a beach for Heather Locklear! Looking fabulous at 50, the actress spent her birthday vacationing in Hawaii with fiancé Jack Wagner. The former Melrose Place costars were photographed strolling barefoot along the windy shoreline with their arms around each other, appearing relaxed and tan. Locklear looked spectacular in a black bikini with a sheer black cover-up over it, while Wagner, 51, wore a bathing suit and a T-shirt. The pair announced their engagement in August, but have not confirmed a date for the wedding. Jack Wagner Is Engaged Heather Locklear was glammed up and glowing when she stepped out recently for a charity event, and with good reason – she's engaged. The Melrose Place alum, who turns 50 in September, is set to wed her longtime boyfriend, actor Jack Wagner (Nick, B&b/ex-Frisco, GH), 51, her rep confirms to PEOPLE. The couple have been dating since early 2007. Locklear, who's recently been photographed with a diamond stunner on her finger, was previously married to rockers Tommy Lee (1986 to 1993) and Richie Sambora (1994 to 2006), whom she has one child with, Ava Elizabeth, 13. "She's in it for the long haul with Jack," a friend of the couple told PEOPLE in 2009. Try some standup paddle boarding with General Hospital star Ingo Rademacher Stars from Nashville and Los Angeles often vacation at our beautiful beaches because of the anonymity afforded them here. However, one star from L.A. is here on vacation and is not trying to hide out. While soap star Ingo Rademacher gets some R&R, he will offer private and group stand-up paddleboard lessons at WaterColor through Aug. 26. Rademacher is known as the character Jasper "Jax" Jacks, who he played on General Hospital for 15 years. The Australian-born actor came to the United States in 1994 and went straight to Hollywood. "Australia had a small market for actors," he explained. With his tanned good looks and piercing baby blue eyes, Rademacher landed the job on General Hospital 1 and a 1/2 years later. He wrapped up his final shoot for the soap the day he left to come here and plans to stay through August. Then, it's off to do a movie in Detroit, the Tyler Perry film "I, Alex Cross." On the way north, he plans to make stops in Atlanta and possibly Nashville, where he will make personal appearances. Since General Hospital let him go once before, he said it's possible they might have him come back again. However, after 15 years, he said he has had enough of that. "I'm not sure what I want to do next or what the next step will be," he said. "I have thought about a lot of stuff. I will keep busy." He does know he would like to see a little of "this very large country where each state is different." On his way to Florida's Gulf coast, he took time to make "tourist stops" in New Mexico, Austin, and New Orleans. On his way back to California, he plans to check out the Rocky Mountains. Rademacher has a friend who owns a home in Rosemary Beach, and this is his second trip here. "I love Rosemary, Seaside's Airstreams, and WaterColor," he said, and he plans to see more of the area while he is here this time. "I'm huge into waterways. I love the area and heat. I'm a 100-degree-plus kind of guy. I love to sweat." Knowing Rademacher is athletic, his host arranged for him to meet the owner of YOLO boards when he arrived, and plans were made for Rademacher to spend his "vacation" teaching lessons in stand-up pladdleboarding. "Instead of doing personal appearances while I'm here, I thought I would give stand-up paddleboard lessons," he said. Rademacher has enjoyed the sport for five years, as well as kayak and catamaran racing, paddleboarding and surfing. "The main father of the sport lives by us in Malibu. I saw him doing it and thought I would try," he said. He already owns six boards and prefers the 10-footer. "I have kept an eye on YOLO, and it has come a long way," he said. While here, he will try out all different ones and plans to buy two before he leaves. A race was planned for Friday off Okaloosa Island with him on a 14-footer. He envisions getting on a SUP racing circuit between here and Detroit and making stops along the way, and possibly teach the sport as he makes his way across the country. "SUP has a lot of options and you can do it anywhere," he said. Rademacher brought his wife and 3-year-old son, Peanut, with him on this cross-country trip. "I'm a water man and a physical guy. My son gets on with me and we have a lot of fun," said Rademacher with obvious pride and delight. "Peanut says, 'faster daddy, faster daddy.'" When the Rademacher family returns to the West Coast, he says they will probably settle in Hawaii, where his wife is from. "We already have a house there and her family is there. We are homebodies. We want to settle in one place," he said. The SUP lessons will take place at the WaterColor dock on Western Lake. "I hope to get a bunch of people out for one hour on the water and lunch with me," he said. "I'm excited about this." For more information visit www.yoloboard.com. WANT TO PADDLE WITH A STAR?: Each Monday, Wednesday and Friday beginning August 8th and continuing through August 26th, Rademacher will host one hour group SUP lessons for $100 per person. Sessions are limited to five people to ensure an intimate and personalized experience. Group lessons with lunch following the lesson are $200 per person (lunch only is also $200 per person). Paddlers also have the opportunity to schedule private sessions with Rademacher at $350 per person for the first hour and $100 per person for each additional hour. Call 850-622-5760 for more information. John Barrowman Teases Doctor Who Return, Attempts to Calm Ianto Fans Hey, Steven Moffat, are you listening? John Barrowman wants back in on Doctor Who! And from the deafening cheers that accompanied the suggestion at Comic-Con, viewers do too. During Thursday's Fan Favorites panel, Doctor Who star Matt Smith told the crowd that he'd love to welcome back Barrowman, who originated the role of Captain Jack Harkness on the long-running sci-fi hit, for the show's upcoming 50th anniversary. "I would love to do it," Barrowman replied Friday at the panel for Starz's Torchwood. (Full disclosure: This reporter moderated it.) "I think it would be disappointing for the 50th not to have a character like Jack make some kind of appearance." Barrowman added that Torchwood's Russell T. Davies, who rebooted Doctor Who in 2005, and current Who boss Moffatt have talked about it. "And if Matt is welcome to it, I think it could be great," he said. "I'm totally up for it. I love playing Jack. It's the best coat I put on every morning." But on to Ianto (Gareth David-Lloyd), the late lover of Jack who was killed off in the third season of Torchwood. Barrowman said he still hears from the very vocal fans who miss Ianto — and continue to send coffee to Starz -- but suggested it was maybe time to move on. "We, as a show, love the fact that you're all passionate about the characters," he said. "The one thing that we are is a drama, and in a drama you have to do things that will unfortunately upset and cause change. It wasn't our decision. It wasn't our fault, but in order to move the drama on, we had to do something drastic." While Ianto is mentioned in the current season, Miracle Day, he's not coming back — and randy Jack is going to continue to be, well, randy. "Jack's going to have another involvement," Barrowman teased. "It's an absolutely fantastic story" and it will explored in-depth in Episode 7. Another thing that won't pop up -- alas! — is Barrowman's musical talent. He says Jack won't be busting out into song any time soon, even while the actor's most rabid fans, who know he hails from the world of theater, would love it. "I really don't think we'll approach that," he said... right before leading the audience in a round of Annie's "Tomorrow." Do, however, look for Miracle Day to bring the scary. Asked if anything could top the 4,5,6 — the child-draining alien monster that claimed Ianto's life, among others — writer Jane Espenson said Miracle Day has its own serious evil in the wings. "Everybody has been asking me the question, 'Well, obviously, this can't get as dark as the 4,5,6. What could possibly beat those stakes?' I just keep saying, 'Oh, wait...' If you are feeling hungry for dark chocolate and you've been getting milk chocolate, just wait for Episode 5." Bill Pullman, who signed on to Torchwood without ever having seen it because the script was "so good," seconded that emotion. "It was great to discover, as it kept going, it got better and better," he said. "The thing I was really nervous about is that it wouldn't find a way to close — but it does!" No word from Starz on a renewal yet, but the cast is certainly game to come back for more. Says Eve Miles: "It's so easy to slip back in to Gwen Cooper's leathers... It's quite difficult to get me out of them at the end of the day. I go home still in them. She's a wonderful character that I find difficult to let go." "We all hope [to be renewed], and we're passionate about the show," Barrowman said. "We'd love to be doing Torchwood for another five or six seasons." Watch the new preview: here. 'Torchwood's' Barrowman sings 'Annie,' talks coats Torchwood: Miracle Day's John Barrowman put on a bravura performance for an enthusiastic Comic-Con audience Friday, closing the panel by leading a rendition of Annie's The Sun'll Come Out Tomorrow. Barrowman discussed the iconic coat worn by his character, Captain Jack Harkness. "I have a closet full" of coats, he said. "There's the hero coat, for when I'm walking or with the team (and) the running coat. It flows a little bit better. Everybody has to have a cape," he said. Other coats can be destroyed after bloody scenes. His favorite part of the coat is the epaulets and his cufflinks are airplanes. Barrowman also said he would like to see Captain Jack, who first appeared on Dr. Who, to make another appearance on that series. Miracle Day writer Jane Espenson said she loves the broad range of tones on the Starz series. "It can go from funny to incredibly dark," hinting that Episode 5 will veer strongly toward the latter. She spoke cryptically of upcoming episodes. "Expect a little more flexibility with the timeline … darkness, some losses. Look for big implications." 'Torchwood' star John Barrowman on BBC's cut gay scene: 'It's not gratuitous sex' Episode 3 of "Torchwood: Miracle Day," airs on Starz this Friday, July 22, and part of it is apparently for American eyes only. The Sun reports a scene, in which Captain Jack Harness (John Barrowman) sleeps with a male bartender, won't make it to air -- on account of its generally graphic sexual nature and not the orientation being depicted. "The UK and US versions of 'Torchwood' are slightly different," a BBC spokesperson says in response. "However, these differences do not change the story in any way and the strong storylines are first and foremost to the series." When Zap2it it spoke with Barrowman on the "Torchwood" set, he did brag about scenes of "full-on man sex" but admitted that it's all in service of the story. "It's not gratuitous sex," he says. "It facilitates the story, so it's nothing they grab just to put on the camera and sensationalize it." And while the encounter in question doesn't look to have much long term relationship potential for Captain Jack, Barrowman does say that there will be some love scenes of a more complex nature as the season moves on. "You go back into history with Jack," Barroman tells Zap2it, "and you discover an integral relationship that is part and parcel to what is happening. It's a massive story about his past and probably, if I can say this, one of his true loves. So there are relationships, but there are also some one-night stands ... some dirty." Fans of the show probably won't take issue with watching either. 'Torchwood' is back, and it's going global The fact that the BBC series Torchwood and its dashing sci-fi hero were successful in Great Britain seems a minor miracle — even to their biggest fan, series creator Russell T Davies. When the Doctor Who spinoff premiered five years ago, it featured John Barrowman's Capt. Jack Harkness, an immortal, time-traveling former con artist who was also American, something alien to prime-time British television, Davies says. And Harkness is bisexual, in a genre where handsome leading men are usually straight. Plus, Davies says, "he's cheeky and fun. An awful lot of heroes are very sober and strait-laced." Torchwood not only survived but thrived for three seasons. Now it's gone global — the 10-episode fourth season, Torchwood: Miracle Day, kicks off Friday on Starz (10 ET/PT) as a co-production of the U.S. pay cable channel and BBC. For new fans, BBC is releasing the first three seasons on DVD and Blu-ray July 19. In Miracle Day, the Welsh environment from past seasons shifts to Los Angeles. One day, the world's population stops dying, forcing the two surviving Torchwood team members — charismatic Captain Jack and cynical Gwen Cooper (Eve Myles) — to team with two CIA agents and deal with the ramifications as well as a mysterious enemy. "You see each person's reaction to it on a very simple scale. It's not big and flashy. It's based in the characters living in this moment and setting up a great story," says Alexa Havins, who plays innocent agent Esther Drummond. Davies knows many viewers will have no idea what Torchwood is. (It's a secret British organization that defends the planet from alien and human threats.) That's why he has Esther act as the "American guide to Torchwood," Havins says, much like Myles' character was indoctrinated into the group in the first season in 2006. "I will always bring those characters in because you share their point of view," Davies says. "You're wide-eyed, you're wondering what's going on, you're hoping it'll work out for the best. It's like going on a date." Havins is joined by American actors Mekhi Phifer, as CIA agent Rex Matheson, and Bill Pullman, playing against type as a child rapist and murderer who lives through his execution. Davies hopes the show's freewheeling sexuality and dark humor prove to be a draw for newer U.S. audiences, along with the fact that it makes serious statements about society instead of just focusing on starships and laser beams. "It's got very tough things to say about human nature and the human race," he says. "On top of that, it's got Wales. Nothing else has Wales in it." Barrowman says that up to now, his character has been "omnisexual," having relationships with men, women and aliens, though he allows that viewers might think he's simply gay with the trysts he has in Miracle Day. But Davies says those love scenes are important to the character and, later in the season, will begin unraveling his back story. Captain Jack has been lauded by the gay and lesbian community, and Barrowman — who, like Davies, is gay — wishes there were more characters like him when he was growing up than, say, Billy Crystal's on Soap. "I never saw a character on TV whom I could relate to, who was a guy who liked technology 'guy' things, cars and all that stuff," Barrowman says. "When Russell created Jack, it was like a breath of fresh air." Seeing a sci-fi hero in intimate situations remains a pop-culture anomaly. Horror is "where all the sex is coming from. It's where True Blood (and) Twilight are," Davies says. "To get the full range of human experience into these shows — drama and life and death — it should involve sex and love and lust and passion. They're what you're fighting for, really, when you're fighting to save the world and the human race." Titans News Archive
