Scoop! When Passions star Kelli McCarty left last summer, she hinted that the door was open for the return of Harmony's local loon-a-chick, Beth Wallace. Well, Beth returns to the NBC sudser in high style on May 24.
"I'm happy!" McCarty enthuses to TVGuide.com. "Luis (Galen Gering) finds Beth in Rome with Marty, the child she stole from him and Sheridan (McKenzie Westmore). Beth has been living on the Crane money, so she's got a whole new look — she dresses in sleek, sophisticated black and has long hair because I grew out my hair while I was away from Passions. This is so not like how Beth has ever looked before!"
How long will the unbalanced Beth stay to wreak havoc this time? "Um, they weren't really specific," McCarty hedges. "Maybe a few months, but I couldn't say exactly. You never know. I was originally supposed to play Beth the bookshop owner for five episodes. It turned into years! Young girls always come up and tell me, 'We miss you! You're so evil. You're our favorite person to hate.'"
During McCarty's break from daytime, she did 20 episodes of Noggin's new surfing drama Beyond the Break. "I play [Baywatch star] David Chokachi's wife," she says. "He's hot! He's a very sweet guy and we shot on location in Hawaii, so that didn't hurt either. It starts airing in June."
