It was one year ago this month when word broke that actress Camryn Grimes would be returning to CBS’ “The Young and the Restless” after previously portraying the beloved Cassie Newman on the soap from 1997-2005, when the character was killed off following a horrific car accident, and on a less frequent basis as the ghost of Cassie from that point through and up to 2010.
CBS’ “The Bold and the Beautiful” celebrated its 27th anniversary last month, which happened to coincide with yet another international trip – Dubai and Abu Dhabi.

After her daughter died last year as a result of a hit-and-run, a desperate Chloe (Elizabeth Hendrickson) will attempt everything in her power to have another child with Billy Abbott (David Tom), even going so far as to drug and “seduce” the married man into having sex with her. The question is, is it a “sinful seduction” or an outright rape? In a newly released promo for next week’s episodes of CBS’ “The Young and the Restless,” the series calls what Chloe is doing to get her hands on Billy’s crown jewels (pun intended) as a sinful seduction, but visually it’s clear that Billy isn’t even conscious for Chloe’s plan. Meanwhile, Billy is also unknowingly already dealing with another set of baby drama. It turns out that his wife, Victoria (Amelia Heinle), is pregnant! The only problem is that it could be Billy’s, or it could be Stitch’s (Sean Carrigan). As for Ian Ward (Ray Wise), he better not get in the way of his son Dylan (Steve Burton) when it comes to the woman he loves, or he’ll end up paying the ultimate price.

“It’s the true-life story of young, single women screwing up, falling down, causing a scene, making a mess — and living to tell the tale.” No, that is not the description of “Girls,” the HBO comedy series created by and starring Lena Dunham. It is actually the basis of “Hot Mess,” a web series where seven actresses reenactment real-life situations that at times leaves viewers questioning how one could have ever let something like that happen , but ultimately glad it never happened to them.

When Bradford Anderson woke up this morning he didn’t immediately know that he had received his fifth Daytime Emmy Award nomination for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series for his portrayal of Damian Spinelli on ABC’s “General Hospital.” How is that even possible, you ask? “I sleep with my phone off,” the actor admits. “That’s the fun thing about being on the west coast. You generally wake up to the news.” He adds, “Just turning on my phone and seeing how many emails and texts I get is generally an indication of a ‘yay’ or a ‘nay.'”
She departed CBS’ “The Young and the Restless” last year with her character Phyllis Summers in a coma, and now Michelle Stafford has returned to daytime with a new role on “General Hospital” as the comatose Nina Clay.

But until then fans are left wondering how the show managed to keep such a reveal so secret and how it all actually came together.
