Bobbie Signs A New TV Deal!
PRESS RELEASE FROM BOBBIE EAKES NEWS:
ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (June 19,2002) Great American Country (GAC) recently announced recording artist and former daytime drama star, Bobbie Eakes (Macy Alexander from "The Bold And The Beautiful"), as the new host of the network's daily request show, CRL. The announcement was made at Graham Central Station in Nashville where Eakes was hosting a special GAC Fan Fair Breakfast for more than 300 Fan Fair attendees. Eakes will take over for Dallas Turner, who recently decided to leave the show to spend time at home with her husband and their first child.
"We are thrilled to have someone of Bobbie's caliber as the new host for CRL. Her knowledge of the country music industry and the fact that she is also a country artist will add a whole new dimension to the show," said Jeffrey C. Wayne, President of Great American Country. “The viewers response to Bobbie as guest host on CRL was nothing short of sensational!"
Eakes will debut on CRL on August 5, 2002. CRL is Nashville’s oldest daily, viewer-interactive television show. It offers a direct connection with GAC viewers who email their requests or speak in person to CRL host Bobbie Eakes. Broadcast from Starstruck Studios on Music Row in Nashville, CRL will continue to air weekdays from 5:00 PM to 6:00 PM (ET) with two replays of each day's show, at 9:00 PM and 1:00 AM (ET) CRL is seen in 19 million households across the United States via cable and Echostar’s DISH Network.
"I’m very excited about becoming the host for CRL. I like the fact that the program is all about what the fans want to see because that is what country music is all about. The one thing that CRL fans and GAC can look forward to is a lot of fun!" said Bobbie Eakes. "I look forward to the challenge of balancing my CRL hosting duties with my singing and acting careers."

PAST NEWS:
Guest Stint or Ghost Stint for B&B's Macy?
Bobbie Eakes will be making a two-day reappearance on The Bold and the Beautiful August 1-2. Is it a guest stint or a ghost stint? Apparently, we'll have to wait until the episode airs to find out. According to a spokesperson for the soap, Thorne goes to the grave of his former wife Macy where he seeks consolation over his failed relationship with his current spouse, Brooke. "The first day the audience sees a hand; on the second day they will see Thorne talking to 'Macy's [spirit]..." Later in the episode, Thorne wakes up on a bench opposite Macy's headstone, his conversation with Macy having been nothing more than a dream. Or was it? "There's food for thought on both sides of the argument," the spokesperson adds.

More About Bobbie's Return
It's the news fans of The Bold and the Beautiful have been waiting to hear: Bobbie Eakes will reprise her role as Macy Alexander on the show.
It's the new fans of The Bold and the Beautiful have been dreading: Bobbie Eakes will not be returning to the show on a permanent basis.
Yes, it's a good news, bad news situation for B&B fans. Rumored for months, B&B set sources are now confirming that Eakes will return to the show this month. The return is said to be a two-day appearance - but the method of the return should give Macy fans some reason to celebrate.
Eakes exited the show last summer when Macy was presumed dead in a fiery explosion. However, in the scenes preceding the big blast, a lady trucker was seen frantically trying to extricate Macy from the car wreckage. In January of this year, Adam Alexander appeared on his daughter Kimberly's doorstep and asked her to run away with him. Kimberly is also Macy's half-sister. Adam promised his daughter that if she agreed, she would receive "something so wonderfully miraculous."
According to a B&B source, Eakes will return as a vision... and angel - not a ghost. In fact, it is said that the show went out of its way to avoid any references to Macy's "death," just in case Eakes does decide to return to the show on a long-term basis.
It appears that the decision to return would have to be made by Eakes. Show execs are reportedly waiting for the day that the actress calls them to say that she wants back in. It is unclear is Eakes is ready to return to the rigors of daytime television. This two-day return to B&B will be Eakes first daytime appearance since a non-speaking part on Days of Our Lives in February of this year.
Eakes makes her return to B&B on August 1st and 2nd.
MACY's BACK!!!!!!!!!
Bobbie is coming back to B&B as Macy on wednesday, August 1st!!!!! Please Note: This is only for a limited run! Please continue to sign the BOBBIE & MACY Petition to help bring BOBBIE & MACY back to B&B on a reguilar basis. More information will be available right here as soon as I'll get it.

Is MACY Alive?
Soap Opera Central users have been buzzing at the news that Macy Alexander might not be as dead as she's believed to be.
Last summer, Macy (played by Bobbie Eakes) was presumed dead in a fiery explosion. However, in the scenes preceding the big blast, a lady trucker was seen frantically trying to extricate Macy from the car wreckage.
Fans were never shown if Macy was freed in time. So why are fans suddenly declaring the well-liked character alive?
On January 26th, Adam Alexander (played by Michael Swan) appeared on his daughter Kimberly's (Ashley Lyn Cafagna) doorstep and asked her to run away with him. Adam promised his daughter that if she agreed, she would receive "something so wonderfully miraculous."
This month Eakes appeared in a non-speaking role on Days of Our Lives. Her return to daytime television was the subject of much chattering late last year when it was revealed that the actress was up for a part on ABC's General Hospital and rumors have been subsequently quelled.
If you'd like to see BOBBIE return to B&B as MACY, just go to the BOBBIE & MACY Potition page, right here on this website, and sign the BOBBIE & MACY potition. E-mail me with your comments.
