Season 1 & 2 of Tainted Dreams now streaming on Popstar! TV with an exclusive never-before-seen episode! Download the Popstar!TV app or view online at www.PopstarOnline.com
Tainted Dreams is a steamy, sexy new dramedy following the lives of the cast and crew of a fictional daily TV soap opera, Painted Dreams. It’s a story about the drama behind the drama. The cast of Tainted Dreams uniquely combines stars from Broadway, reality TV (BRAVO’s The Real Housewives of New Jersey and POP’s IMPACT Wrestling) with traditional soap opera fan favorites from All My Children, One Life to Live, As the World Turns, General Hospital, Guiding Light, The Young and the Restless, The Bold and the Beautiful, Days of Our Lives and more.
Based on the true story of a nurturing, ambitious television producer of a long-running, daily soap who struggles to achieve emotional balance and fulfillment in her own life against a backdrop teeming with behind-the-scenes drama revolving around the egos and antics of actors, crew and network executives. Tainted Dreams is what happens behind the scenes when the director yells cut, and the cameras stop rolling.
Tainted Dreams is the Grey’s Anatomy which occurs in a soap studio instead of a hospital. It is a scripted ‘dramedy’ that is character driven, blending comedy and drama seamlessly. It follows the lives of the cast and crew, including the corporate network heads, of the fictional soap Painted Dreams, touching upon many social issues. It is a rare look at the interaction of all principals’ involvement in a realistic manner, while creating compelling dilemmas along the way.
Sonia Blangiardo, creator of Tainted Dreams and veteran soap opera producer and director, pays tribute to this iconic genre which has brought entertainment and enjoyment to many for over 80 years on radio, TV and now the Internet by naming the fictional soap opera Painted Dreams.
Painted Dreams was the first daytime radio soap opera program in the United States. It was broadcast from Chicago by radio station WGN. It was created by the legendary soap creator and writer Irna Phillips who created, among others, the Guiding Light on the radio and TV, As the World Turns and Another World. Phillips was a mentor to soap legends Agnes Nixon and Bill Bell. Painted Dreams premiered October 20, 1930 and last aired in July, 1943.
Tainted Dreams is differentiated by the blend of a popular, diverse cast, with award winning talent from All My Children, One Life to Live, Guiding Light, General Hospital, The Bold and the Beautiful, Days of our Lives and As the World Turns and main stream stars from reality and theater and musical artists.
Angelica Caruso is the second-in-command Senior Producer for the soap Painted Dreams and has been in the business for 15 years. She lives for her career and knows the soap genre inside and out. Her personal life is like a soap opera, and her choices in men are always based on dreams and drama. Angelica is in her mid-30’s, never been married, and suddenly hearing the loud ticking of her biological clock makes her feel she has no control of her life. She is smart, sweet and very ambitious, but sadly still a bit naïve and too much of a people pleaser. She is the caretaker and is very well respected by all around her.
Jordan Bradford plays the role of Ryan Thomas on the soap Painted Dreams. Jordan has been a soap actor for many years. He is a good guy with much inner turmoil. His childhood was unbearable and major downfalls and circumstances transformed him into the man he is today. He has always been in relationships but never been in love...until he finds himself constantly drawn to his Senior Producer, Angelica. This pull doesn't help appease his very insecure and very outspoken, fame obsessed girlfriend, (not to mention his onscreen sister) Kassandra.
Adam Clark, Executive Producer of the soap Painted Dreams, is a confident, obviously successful man and manages to hide his insecurities well. He knows how to play the game and has worked his way to the top by knowing how to push the right buttons while others carried the heavy load. As the season unfolds, we see his character evolve. With Adam it is very obvious what you see is not at all what you get. He also has learned not to wear his heart on his sleeve. He was always deathly afraid of commitment, so his drunken mistake with Peyton will have huge repercussions.
Courtney Parish, the Vice President of Daytime Programming over shows such as the soap Painted Dreams, has a good life, filled with many obstacles, but nonetheless fulfilling. She has a soft spot for Angelica, pushing her to be the best she can be. Courtney climbed her way to the top by working hard and being good at her job. Adam rose to the top because he was a member of the ‘boys club’ and networked his way to success, yet she has a very interesting and honest connection with him. She is extremely dedicated to her career…maybe too much which just may end up costing her more than she ever can imagine.
Dylan Buckwald is the newly hired studio handyman for Painted Dreams. Dylan is a bad boy who's constantly in trouble with the law, but thanks to the show's star, Veronica, he gets the job as a last chance to get his act together. Despite his troubled past, Dylan really is a sweetheart underneath it all...and it doesn't hurt that he looks like he stepped off the cover of a romance novel. This spells trouble when he crosses paths with the show's hot young star, Peyton, who recently married the show's executive producer, who happens to be both their boss...
Kassandra Bentley plays Jordan’s character’s sister, Brittany Welcher,in Painted Dreams, but his girlfriend in “real life.” Kassandra is a very opinionated, ‘in-your-face,’ but oh-so-insecure thirty-something. Her insecurities are shielded with a charm that gets her what she wants. Since she is, madly in love with Jordan, she will do whatever it takes to hold on to him. She is not above manipulating him into staying with her, and that’s exactly what she does.
Liza, who plays “Ashley Black” on Painted Dreams, is quiet on the surface but still waters run deep. Her friendship with Angelica, the show's senior producer, is her one constant. She has daddy issues, not knowing the identity of her own father, and because of that she doesn't always make the right choices...enter Gregory, who is nothing more than a diversion for what her heart really wants. Adam was the one who got away because he couldn’t commit to her, but she will always carry a torch for him. A past mistake consumes her more and more as she becomes determined to rectify it at all costs.
Veronica Ashford is a soap diva who has played Catherine Vanderbilt on the soap Painted Dreams for many years. Veronica is self-entitled, spoiled but extremely talented and adored by her long standing fan base. She is a full-blown alcoholic, but will not acknowledge her disease, which is a major contributor to the demise of both her marriages. When she’s sober, she’s strong, compassionate, caring and a force to be reckoned with…but when she drinks she is a destructive, mean-spirited woman who becomes her own worst enemy and constantly risks losing all that she loves.
Max Hillstone, who plays “Erik Robar” on the soap Painted Dreams, is another veteran soap actor who is cocky and shallow. He is the “bad boy” of the group, always on and consistently charming. He is constantly promoting himself and always finding photo-ops. He is a cheater, but to be fair to him, women are always throwing themselves at him. His relationship with Angelica has been casual for the last 10 months, but when he starts observing a connection between her and Jordan, his good friend for years, it leaves him unsettled and wanting to claim his territory.
Peyton, who plays “Tiffany” on the soap Painted Dreams, is a young, ambitious, sexy, tough, yet insecure twenty-something actress who feels Painted Dreams is the perfect stepping stone to her perfectly planned life. She gets caught up in a drunken moment and thinks it represents a lifetime commitment. As time goes by she struggles with the realization that she and her new husband want different things and her unexpected feelings for Dylan.
Anthony is a Production Assistant at Painted Dreams who knows everything about everyone. He is endearing, eccentric and oneof-a-kind. His dedication to Angelica goes beyond friendship as he wants the best for her. He is looking for his perfect man so that he can finally have his happily ever after, but hits many roadblocks along the way. His self-centered sister and lonely mother convolutes his dream of trying to have a normal life which becomes more and more unobtainable.
Gregory Ashford, who plays “Jason Vanderbilt” on the soap Painted Dreams, is an easy-going, talented leading man, especially when it comes to his “larger than life” wife, Veronica. He learned a long time ago there was only room for one in the spotlight. He was torn up over the break-up of his first marriage to Courtney, especially since they share a 15-year old autistic daughter, but once Veronica sunk her claws into him, he was as helpless as a mouse in a cat’s path. Years of feeling emasculated and undervalued lead him down the wrong road again when he sees how incredible Liza, a younger, beautiful co-star, thinks he is.
Eddy Parrish, who is the husband of Courtney, came into her life during a time when she was disillusioned with love and men. He was different from any other man she had ever known. He was honorable, honest and good, dedicating his life to putting away the bad guys. Courtney thought she had found love before with Gregory, but when Eddy entered her life, embracing both her and Morgan, her autistic daughter, she realized he truly was the love of her life.
Carolyn plays herself as the top reporter for Carolyn’s blog.com, the online source for soap news.
Vivian is the "pharmaceutically high-strung," emotionally abusive, bitter, estranged mother of Painted Dreams star Liza Park.
Henry is a director who evokes hatred, love, respect, but mostly disrespect. Truly the “Archie Bunker” of daytime directors; he says everything that is on his mind in the most politically incorrect way possible.
Alessandra is Anthony’s sister. She is a super successful CEO of a Fortune 500 company. Anthony appeals to his big sister to help with his mother, but she basically tells him he's on his own
Ethan Washington is a powerful network executive feared by other executives, actors, and crew. He is overconfident, never in doubt, a real force to be reckoned with.
Carla is a tough, no-nonsense parole officer who sees the good in Dylan and is proud of his journey to become a better man. She has his number but they have a warm relationship underneath it all.
Tina Scott is Courtney Parish’s domineering sister. She is a high‐powered attorney, and in her own way, very devoted to her sister and her autistic niece.
Although she has three other daughters, you'd never know it with how much Sofia adores her only son Anthony. She raised Anthony on her own after his father walked out when Anthony was four years old. Her obsession with her son has molded her entire existence.
