Tuesday, September 02 2008


Martha Byrne's CD! (MarthaByrne.com)
Since her departure last spring, As The World Turns fans have been clamoring for news from Martha Byrne (ex-Lily). It seems Ms. Martha has been super busy in the past six months - she has starred in a play, begun working with an online company for her music and is producing a short film! Wow! Okay, without further ado, here are your details!

Martha is currently producing a short film called "Chrysalis", which boasts another former Oakdaleite at it's helm. The film was written and directed by Paul Leyden (ex-Simon)! Martha's on-screen ex, Paolo Seganti (ex-Damian) starred in the project. The film is a dark comedy; as soon as we know a release date, Soaps.com will pass it along to you!

In music news, Martha continues to write and sing music. She has started to work with an online company called TalkMarket to market her music. The website has a short clip of Martha singing and talking about her song "Find My Way Back", which was featured on the show! How cool is that? You can watch Martha in action by, clicking here.

And finally, Martha starred in a play called "Other People's Money" at the John W. Engeman Theatre at Northport in Northport, New York earlier this summer. Production on the play has wrapped but Martha says it was a special experience! Will she do more plays? We'll have to wait and see, but I sure hope so!

Martha is going to have another live chat on her website. Stay tuned here and Soaps.com will let you know the date as soon as it is released!

Although we miss Martha as Lily, we know she is having a great time spreading her wings and experiencing new acting - and singing! - challenges. Soaps.com wishes Martha the best of luck!

I want the real Lily back, and that means Martha Byrne!
I have been watching As the World Turns since it first aired in 1956. Some actors can not be replaced. The new Lily cannot play Lily, Martha Byrne made that part, she is Lily. Bring Martha Byrne back or kill her chatacter off. But the part can't be played by anyone else.

I fully agree that the "REAL" Lily is needed. I don't like the storyline they have gone to either but it certainly would be MUCH more believable if Martha was playing the role.

I totally agree. It's like Holden and Who? This Lily just isn't the original. We need the real Lily. Or kill her off just like you suggest. But I don't want Lily the real Lily to die. I want her to come back to Holden so it can be Lily and Holden again. I really miss her. and she really can sing. I remember a song she song on the soap. She is good. I hope she decides she miss ATWT and come back to us.

I hope the people who let Martha Byrne go just because she wanted more air time reads these. Because they made a big mistake in letting her go. Fans are NOT happy. I glad to see that Martha is doing great without them. It is not the same without her.
