'Grey's Anatomy's' Cristina Yang 'Deserves Better'
"The show may very well pull some sort of switcheroo on the May 15 finale and leave Cristina deprived of Emerald City Memorial, but the poor woman certainly deserves something after being shamefully cheated out of that Harper Avery Award. There are few characters in prime time so deserving of a drop of happiness, even if Cristina's problem is that she's laminated herself so the drops bounce off."

A 'Good Wife' Spinoff? Elsbeth Tascioni, Your Time May Come
"We've discussed it internally," co-creator Robert King told E! News. "It always comes down to where you can put your energy. Our worry is that—we're not the kind of showrunners, unfortunately, who can take our eyes off this and do two things at once. I wish we could because there's no one more fun to work with and better comedian than Carrie Preston. There's such a cool show there."

Soap Springs Eternal: ALL MY CHILDREN, ONE LIFE TO LIVE and the sweetly human act of caring about fictional characters
"TV has gotten more sophisticated since daytime was popular, and we have gotten more sophisticated in our viewing habits, but deep concern for fictitious human beings is still a major part of the TV-watching experience. This is another thing that soap operas bequeathed us: intimate, long-term relationships with make-believe people. We may mock the soap-opera watcher for her bad taste, but we and our good taste spend an awful lot of time dissecting the psychology of Omar Little, imagining Carrie Mathison’s future, obsessing about Don Draper’s past. Soap operas remind me that I’m lucky TV has gotten better—not because I wouldn’t have watched and cared if it were bad, but because I would have watched and cared anyway. Lesser stories are still stories. In the heart of most snobs is also someone who just wants to know what happens next. I wish AMC and OLTL luck on their space flight."

CBS chief: Hard for THE GOOD WIFE to beat GAME OF THRONES at Emmys
“I don’t think we’re the bastard child of the entertainment business,” the CBS chief said, though later he seemed to sympathize with the overall point Greenblatt was making: “They’re competing against some phenomenal programs,” he said. “It’s hard to put THE GOOD WIFE up against GAME OF THRONES. It probably costs three times as much [to make and is given] three times as long to shoot. It’s a brilliant show and I love it as much as anyone. [But cable shows] get a lot more attention for a lot fewer numbers.”

Emmy Nominee Carrie Preston Poised to Return in Season 5 of THE GOOD WIFE
Fresh off her long-overdue Emmy nomination for playing Elsbeth Tascioni, Preston is nearing a deal to return to the CBS drama in Season 5. To date, she has appeared in nine episodes.

EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW: TRUE BLOOD's Carrie Preston On Being a Hyphenate and Directing-Producing 'That's What She Said'

Georgia native Carrie Preston is a familiar face to television, film and theater audiences.  The multi-talented actress-director-producer stars in TRUE BLOOD, is returning to THE GOOD WIFE this season, and guesting on PERSON OF INTEREST.  She also has multiple films in the works where she will lend her acting talents.  Her latest project, the new film That's What She Said, finds her working behind the scenes serving as a producer and director.

That's What She Said tells the story of Bebe (LIPSTICK JUNGLE's Marcia DeBonis) and DeeDee (Daytime Emmy winner Anne Heche), best friends with different relationship problems, who embark on a New York City misadventure with their new acquaintance, Clementine (ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT's Alia Shawkat).  We Love Soaps caught up with Preston this week to talk about the film, which hits theaters in New York and Los Angeles and on demand platforms on October 19.

WE LOVE SOAPS TV: Our mutual friend, Julie Ann Emery, let me know about the film and introduced us.  That woman can do it all!
CARRIE PRESTON:  I feel like I've found my kindred spirit.  We were sort of assigned as friends by Marcia DeBonis, who plays one of the leads in the film.  Marcia has been saying to me, "you have to be friends with Julie Ann."  And saying the same thing to Julie Ann.  Finally, Marcia started this group, we call ourselves "The Hyphenates," seven women who wear different hats like writer-director or actor-casting director.  It's like we were cast by Marcia to be women supporting women in the industry.  We are all rallying behind each other's projects.  It has turned out to be an extraordinary group of women.

WE LOVE SOAPS TV: The trailer for That's What She Said looks great! I've been a fan of Anne Heche since she started on ANOTHER WORLD when I was 17 years old. The part where she's brushing her teeth while smoking was hysterical. That scenario never even occurred to me before.
