Kimberlin Brown (Sheila) offered Bold & Beautiful fans a glimpse behind the scenes as she got a tutorial in how to apply body makeup. And who better to use as a human easel than the gorgeous Lawrence Saint-Victor (Carter)? Check out the full video, but remember kids, these are professionals… don’t try this at home!

With so many people wandering around Los Angeles threatening her life, we can’t help but suspect Sheila’s time could be running out. And just in case she should wind up sporting a fashionable toe tag, we have rounded up the usual suspects!
John McCook (Eric) will be appearing with a very special co-star in his latest movie. The actor and his daughter Molly McCook will be sharing the screen in the holiday treat Candy Coated Christmas. Get the details on who they will be playing.

In this week’s Bold & Beautiful column, Richard suggests a pretty shocking storyline could be in the works for Eric, Quinn and Carter. Plus, he attempts to defend Finn’s actions and questions a conversation that he found to be wildly inappropriate… and it’s not the one you’re thinking of.

Days of Our Lives

General Hospital

When Kimberly McCullough (ex-Robin) sat down with Maurice Benard for the latest edition of his State of Mind blog, the two had an honest conversation about everything from teleprompters to the wild — and often inappropriate — behavior which took place behind the scenes.

On the anniversary of an unforgettable Jason/Elizabeth moment, we take a deep dive into the past that keeps some hoping they will reunite.
Words can hardly capture the cuteness of the first photo Sofia Mattsson (Sasha) shared of her baby boy. Prepare yourself to take a peek at her newborn.
The facility where Drew has been held hostage has already brought us one familiar face and we’re pretty confident we know who he’s heard screaming. Read our guess at who else is being held hostage.
Peter returning from the dead was certainly more of a surprise for the people on the soap than the viewers in the audience. The real question remains who will kill him in Nixon Falls?

Dustin can’t help thinking Peter probably should have remained dead, but suspects this turn might help bring the Nixon Falls saga to an end. Meanwhile, this week’s column ponders why Drew’s being held hostage, what’s up with Esme and whether Willow might be headed down a dark path.

Despite Marci Miller having swapped in and out of the role of Abigail DiMera with Kate Mansi over the years, the appeal of Days of Our Lives supercouple Chad and Abby endures. That’s thanks in part to the on-screen chemistry Miller shares with Billy Flynn (Chad), who describes their version of “Chabby” as an “<a href="https://soaps.sheknows.com/days-of-our-lives/news/588023/days-of-our-lives-interview-billy-flynn-chad-two-abigails/" target="_blank">evolved type of love</a>.”

Julie Williams has never met a person she didn’t judge. And Susan Seaforth Hayes has never met a scene that she couldn’t perfect, not since she started playing the part when Julie was a rebellious youngster. Days of Our Lives has given the actress not only a successful career but also a husband as <a href="https://soaps.sheknows.com/days-of-our-lives/news/569492/days-of-our-lives-actors-real-life-partners/" target="_blank">she’s married to her on-screen partner, Bill Hayes (Doug)</a>.

<p>Fans got their wish for EJ DiMera to return when, in 2021, Aussie Dan Feuerriegel filled the massive hole James Scott’s departure left. The actor fit right as he brought the fire to EJ and Samantha’s stormy relationship and added even more dysfunction to the already-messy DiMera family.</p>

<p>Bryan Dattilo has been a mainstay on <em>Days of Our Lives</em> since he was a young twentysomething. Now, as Lucas Horton, he’s helping to usher in new generations as his character’s children maneuver through the trials and tribulations of their own dramas and families.</p>

<p>Ben Weston has come along way from his days as the Necktie Killer. With the help of Dr. Marlena Evans’ therapy, Ciara’s love and portrayer Robert Scott Wilson’s charm, the character has become a bonafide soap-opera hero.</p>

<p>Little Allie Horton is all grown up in the form of Lindsay Arnold. The actress was immediately thrown into the fire with dramatic frontburner storylines, easily cementing her status as a beloved member of both the Brady and Horton families.</p>

<p>Matthew Ashford’s Jack Deveraux started out on <em>Days of Our Lives</em> as nothing short of vile. However, a great love with Jennifer, an unstoppable sense of humor and a couple of children helped turn the character into a lovable goof and (mostly) upstanding citizen.</p>

<p>She had the unenviable task of temporarily taking over a beloved role from a <em>Days of Our Lives</em> veteran. However, soap pro Cady McClain easily took over as Jennifer Horton — and made such an impression, she won a Daytime Emmy for her efforts.</p>

<p>All one has to do is say the name Patch, and even non-soap fans know who you’re referring to. Stephen Nichols has been playing the iconic Steve Johnson for decades, cementing his status as one half of the supercouple “Stayla” in the process.</p>

<p>Lamon Archey’s Eli is one of Salem’s, and the Horton family’s, finest. One of his defining qualities is the love he has for his wife and family. Well, that, and his penchant for taking off his shirt… and towel. Just ask hissister-in-law Chanel.</p>

<p>Eli’s better half, Lani, played by Sal Stowers, has had a rough go of it this past year, what with her babies getting kidnapped and learning her parents aren’t really her parents. Good thing soap operas thrive on angst!</p>

<p>Tripp and Allie have come a long way since the days of her suspecting he was her rapist. But can the couple overcome her crush on BFF Chanel? Whatever happens, the actors sell the heck out of the young lovers’ sweet chemistry.</p>

<p>Tripp might be her boyfriend, but the main man in Allie’s life is her son Henry, played by Nash Gunderson. Clearly, Tripp is no competition for this little guy.</p>

<p>Chanel has had two quickie marriages, and two actresses portray her in less than a year. Since Raven Bowens took over the role, she’s proven she has chemistry with everyone, making it hard to decide who she should be with — BFF Allie or Allie’s twin brother Johnny.</p>

<p>Johnny finally returned to Salem as an adult in 2021 and, with Boatman in the role, he is as devilishly charming as you’d expect EJ DiMera’s son to be. Now, he just needs to literally rid himself of the devil.</p>

<p>Whether playing Kristen DiMera or Susan Banks, Stacy Haiduk has more than exceeded expectations after taking over the iconic roles from Eileen Davidson. Heck, she even crushed it when her predecessor was onscreen at the same time, playing a possessed version of Kristen.</p>

<p>Ben and Ciara finally got their happily ever after — despite the MarDevil’s best efforts. Now, they just need to keep their unborn baby out of JoDevil’s path. If they can, Victoria Konefal and Rob Wilson will soon have a teeny, tiny co-star to work opposite.</p>

<p>If there’s one thing we know about Martha Madison’s Belle, it’s she loves her husband Shawn. If there’s another, it’s that Jan will always be a threat to their happiness. Will 2022 be different for the embattled couple?</p>

<p>The son of supercouple Bo and Hope, Shawn Douglas Brady has a lot to live up to. As did his portrayer, Brandon Beemer who took over the role from the popular Jason Cook. All these years later, Beemer made the role his own. Now, if Shawn can just shake Jan for good one of these days.</p>

<p>The latest addition to the Deveraux family hasn’t exactly ingratiated herself to the entire clan. Especially not to her sister Abigail. But that’s where the fun comes in as Emily O’Brien’s alter ego schemes and plots, all in the name of seeking love and acceptance.</p>

<p>Sami and Marlena rarely see eye to eye, but that doesn’t mean the love isn’t strong between mother and daughter. For decades, Alison Sweeney and Deidre Hall have entertained fans with their often contentious, but loving onscreen relationship.</p>
