General Hospital
Bryan Craig (ex-Morgan) has left his fans guessing. The actor hinted that he may return to daytime, but that doesn’t mean you’ll be seeing him in Port Charles. His former onscreen mother Laura Wright (Carly) teased people in a different way by revealing her new look. Are Carly and Sonny on the way to another break-up? It’s starting to look that way. Maurice Benard (Sonny) announced his plans to retire… eventually. And the story of Nina’s offspring just won’t go away.

The Young and the Restless

Get our thoughts on that and how a soap opera supervillain celebrated a milestone in their real-life in our Young and the Restless news room. Finally, Candace is frustrated with the focus on Adam and Billy, relieved that the show finally got around to the Amanda/Hilary issue, but wishes Chance saw red flags where Abby is concerned in her latest The Young and the Restless column.
