Dear All,
  As some of you may know, ABC asked me to return as "Dixie" for a little while, to help resolve the "Kate" storyline. I was very happy to receive the phone call, and hope that it will lay to rest some of the anxiety that has been around that issue. Even though it is only for a limited time, I think that it will be a fun, playful, and ultimately satisfying experience for you, the audience. I start working next week, but the air date is sometime in early May. I hope you get a chance to check it out!
  Meanwhile, the indie film I did with none other then James Kiberd is out and doing well. It is very touching for both Veterans and their families, and even though I am not related to any Vets, I found it quite a moving experience. You can check it out at http://www.soldiersheartthemovie.com
  At the end of April, on Sunday the 27th, I am going to be on a panel for a discussion on acceptance and rejection which is part of an "Art and Spirituality" conference held every year at The Wisdom House in Litchfield, CT. There will be all kinds of artists there discussing the process. Perhaps you will join me for what is sure to be an interesting afternoon. Here is their website: www.wisdomhouse.org
  Lastly, I have a book out that I am very proud of. It is called "Conversations with the Invisible.” It is filled with poetry and art I have been working on over many years, and is the first of three books. The theme of "Conversations" is emotional pain brought about by denial of one's true self, either by circumstance or happenstance. It is not a book for children, let's be clear, but for adults who struggle with their own issues, and perhaps find art a soothing and cathartic avenue. It is available at http://www.blurb.com/bookstore/detail/191810
  Thank you for your interest and support of my work. I am truly grateful.  Wishing you a beautiful spring!
Cady McClain
PS: My music is being included in a play called "Crazy Faith!” More on
that soon!

You wanted it, you got it! Cady McClain returns to All My Children as Dixie Cooney Martin on Friday, May 2.
Dixie is back in Pine Valley with a mission: She's reuniting Tad with their long missing daughter, Kate!
As the audience knows, Kate was stolen at birth, put up for adoption and now lives with Nurse Julia Keefer under the name of Kathy. Only Adam Chandler--Dixie's evil ex-husband and Tad's lifelong enemy--knows the
truth that Kathy is Tad and Dixie's child.
When last seen in January 2007, Dixie fell victim to a serial killer. Her ghost watched as Tad received a comforting hug from Kathy. It was then that Dixie realized Kathy was really her daughter. Now with her angelic
hand, Dixie will guide Tad into the loving embrace of their little girl.
This is drama you can't miss!

According to Cady's blog, she is happy and healthy! She had a fibroid tumor removed in February (they are not malignant). She is vacationing in California and excited about the election.

Cady has left ATWT. Below is a letter she sent via the ATWT Fan Club in January.

Dear All,
Thank you so much for writing in. I truly appreciate your keeping in touch and your support of my work. It’s been an interesting year to say the least, but I have a feeling 2008 is going to be even MORE interesting!
I would love it if you checked in with me at my website http://www.cadymcclain.com/blog
I will be keeping everyone up to date on my latest plans, projects and adventures there.
I just finished editing a book of my artwork and poems (the first of three) called “Conversations with the Invisible” and it will be available soon through my website!
I hope your New Year is full of fun, love and dreams come true.
Love and thanks always,
Cady

This was sent out by the ATWT Fan Club via email - they didn't seem to know that Cady was leaving!

Thanks for writing! I’m touched by all the support and encouragement that
you have shown me. I love portraying “Rosanna Cabot” and appreciate all
the letters and comments you have about my storyline.

I’m thrilled to be part of the cast of As the World Turns. Rosanna is
back and I would love to hear what direction you think my story line
should take. Should Rosanna trust Paul? Would you like to see Rosanna
and Craig get back together? Write and let me know.

If you would like to be added to my mailing list, please send me your full
name and home address. Keep in touch.

You can also write to me at the studio.

From soaps.com


A couple of weeks ago, Cady McClain, Rosanna on As The World Turns announced she would be leaving the soap sooner rather than later. On her blog, Cady noted that the show had decided to wrap the Rosanna storyline faster than they anticipated. (You can read that story below).

When news began to spread that Cady was leaving ATWT, fans in Pine Valley began to talk about a possible Dixie return.

Last February, Cady's Dixie was unceremoniously killed off by Alexander Cambias with a batch of poisoned peanut butter pancakes. Fans were incensed at the time. Now many are hoping that The Powers That Be at ABC Daytime will rethink Dixie's death and bring her back for a Tad/Dixie/Kate storyline.

Here is what a few of the Pine Valley Faithful have had to say here.


AllForBabe wrote, "In soap land people come back from the dead all the time, so why can't Dixie? The doors are now opened, at least halfway. I hope to God that the AMC powers that be beg and plead with her to get her to return, especially in time for Kate's reveal."

Thuud wrote, "I am another whom will be eternally grateful if they bring Dixie/Cady back and do the story justice this time."

Ezra511 wrote, "I think the best way to bring her back, is to bring David back, who could have been hiding in PV at the time of her death, have had administered her some medication that would have restarted her heart. (He was a miracle cardiologist remember guys/gals.) I hope with all hopes they are hands and knees to bring her back!!!"

K8ecup wrote, "That would be great!! Especially for Kate and plus JR is going to need her very soon when he hits rock bottom!!"

For her part, Cady hasn't said much about a return to AMC. On her blog last February she wrote that she doubted a Pine Valley return was in the cards because the character bio of Dixie had been removed from the ABC website. (The Dixie character bio is still missing, but then so are a lot of Pine Valley characters the fans might remember as well as a few new additions.)

A few rumors have begun to circulate that indicate a character may be returning from the dead - and that return will shock many fans.

Will Dixie return to Pine Valley to help Tad find their missing daughter Kate? We'll have to watch, wait and see.


Cady McClain's Rosanna has only been back in Oakdale, after a two year coma, for a few months but already it looks as if her stay will be short lived. Cady posted in her official blog last week that the "Rosanna" storyline was going to wrap up sooner than originally thought.

"I have sad news. [The Powers That Be] are wrapping up the Rosanna storyline early. I was slated to work through February, but the story took a dramatic turn that will alter that plan," wrote Cady on her blog. You can read the entire post here. She went on to write, "I have always been open to all possibilities, even this one, but I will be sad to have to say goodbye so soon."

As soon as word leaked earlier this year that Cady was leaving All My Children, fans began buzzing about the possibilities that Cady would land in Oakdale to reprise the Rosanna role. When her first episodes aired early this summer fans were ecstatic. Those feelings cooled quickly, however, when Post-Coma-Rosanna began to seem very different than Pre-Coma-Rosanna.

In years past, Rosanna was a strong woman who wasn't dependent on a man for anything. But it became clear very early that she was very attached and dependent upon Paul. Fans thought this was very un-Rosanna like.

Kare Bear said, "I couldn't believe she married Paul after hearing him and Meg in the graveyard. Her character was always much stronger than that and it didn't make sense."

Several other fans agreed with that statement. A few have mentioned the possibility of Cady returning to her fan-favorite role as Dixie Cooney Martin on AMC. There is no word from either camp about what is next for Cady or the characters she has created on daytime television.

On her blog, Cady wrote that even she isn't sure where she will go or what she will do next, but says she is looking forward to the New Year.

Soaps.com has not received word when the Rosanna storyline will wrap. We'll keep you all posted on this as the story develops.

Whatever the future holds for Cady - and Rosanna! - we wish her only the best. Good luck, Cady!

GREAT NEWS!! Cady is returning to As The World Turns as Rosanna!!

Check out Cady's ABC blog!

On "All My Children", crazy Janet wrote "Dixie lives", so that created rumors about Dixie's return. I hope they don't recast!
