Seeing Ted Shackleford in CBS'...
Rebecca Budig, All My Children and Ted Shackleford, The Young and the Restless
Seeing
Ted Shackleford in CBS' recent
Knots Landing reunion reminded me of how much I miss him. Fortunately, the Eye network has invited my fave nighttime soap hunk to take a dip in the daytime suds!
Shackleford begins a short-term stint on
The Young and the Restless on Feb. 2 as prosecutor Will Bardwell. He'll throw the book at Ashley Abbott (
Eileen Davidson) for the recent shooting murder of Tom Fisher (
Roscoe Born). Of course, viewers know Ashley's just covering for the
real culprit: her ailing dad, John (
Jerry Douglas), who doesn't remember gunning down the creep who menaced his family.
Let's hope Shackleford's verdict on daytime soap work is more favorable than that of his
Knots costar
Joan Van Ark, who bailed on her gig as
Y&R's Gloria back in '04. Yeah, you know I couldn't resist going
there. (Keep reading for more
Restless dish....)
