Join us for a special photo-filled walk down Memory Lane as we reflect on the late, lamented As The World Turns.
The Bold and the Beautiful
Liam’s on his latest downward spiral, which includes a recent hookup with Steffy, and this will no doubt doom his already fragile relationship with Hope. It is also likely to head in the direction of Steffy being pregnant again. If so, there will be more than one relationship on the chopping block.
- Don’t worry, you’re not alone. Scott Clifton also wants to punch Liam. Find out why he’s giving the people who hate his character a run for their money.

- After a whirlwind visit, Camila Banus is already gone as Gabi. But headwriter Ron Carlivati gives us the scoop on what’s next for the much-loved vixen.
- In what may have been the cutest Instagram takeover of all time, Brandon Barash’s puppy took us for a ride, with a little help from Jake’s portrayer, of course.
- There was a little bit of year-ending good news for the soap’s former Jordan: Chrishell Stause is dating Keo Motsepe.

- Could he follow in his father’s footsteps? On his 16th birthday, Maurice Benard pays tribute to son Joshua, admiring his natural talents. Find out which of his co-stars chipped in with praise of their own.
