Congratulations to GH’s Emme Rylan (Lulu) and Kimberly McCullough (Robin), both of whom are pregnant! Rylan and fiancé Don Money are already parents to sons Jackson, 7, and Levi, 5, and will welcome a daughter in June. The actress revealed that baby No. 3 is a girl by posting an adorable photo of her family with Santa, complete with shocked faces and Mom holding up an “It’s A Girl” sign. “The GH family is incredibly thrilled for Emme’s pregnancy,” says executive producer Frank Valentini, “and wish her and her family all the best in welcoming into the world their new baby.” McCullough, meanwhile, is expecting her first child with her unnamed boyfriend. The actress su. ered a devastating mid-term miscarriage in September 2015 and wrote in a blog post that…

Memory Lapse Any scene that finds GENERAL HOSPITAL’s Maxie and Lulu on the case promises to be memorable… but Emme Rylan (Lulu) recalls next to nothing of one recent adventure she and Kirsten Storms (Maxie) took part in! When asked about any on-set hijinks that may have ensued when taping the scenes in which the girls searched the office of Claudette’s doctor, Rylan drew a complete blank. “I was violently sick the day we shot that,” explains the star. “I had to have a [trash] can next to me on set, because I could not stop throwing up. I had to take a cab to work, because I couldn’t drive a car. And we did 65 pages of material, back-to-back!” What a trouper! “That’s the way the schedule was, so…

Lauren may never have encountered such upheaval in her professional life before, but she has plenty of people to turn to for advice on how to deal with her business woes. Consider her fellow Genoa City denizens who have faced similar problems: Jack: The mogul wanted a huge infusion of cash for Jabot, which had him taking his family company public. Alas, the move opened up the door for Victor to snap up shares, eventually taking over Jabot and ousting Jack! It took years before the Abbotts once again were in control. Billy: The hunk might be considered the king of bad business deals. He snuck in and bought Brash & Sassy but was so distracted by his affair with Phyllis that he lost the company almost immediately to his…

Molly McCook: The youngest daughter of John McCook (Eric) appeared on B&B several times as Margot, one of Hope’s high school chums. These days, Molly’s vocals can occasionally be heard in music that’s featured on the show! Jeremy and Julian Snider: The sons of Katherine Kelly Lang (Brooke) played their mom’s on-screen little boy, Rick, in infancy and toddlerhood, respectively. Alec Coulouris: The son of Lesli Kay (Felicia; ex-Lois, GENERAL HOSPITAL) and Keith Coulouris (David, AS THE WORLD TURNS), he played the actress’ on-screen son, Dominic, in one episode of B&B. Zachariah Koslow: When B&B’s Margo Lynley had a baby by designer Clarke Garrison, her portrayer, Lauren Koslow (Kate, DAYS OF OUR LIVES), brought son, Zachariah, to the set to play the tot!…

I ndulging in chocolate, putting the pedal to the metal and getting naked… these are a few of Sonya Eddy’s favorite things, according to the way the Gemini who plays GENERAL HOSPITAL’s Epiphany picked (or tried to pick!) between the choices we gave her. What else did we — and can you — find out about the actress? Read on and find out! Angel food cake or devil’s food cake? “I’m a chocolate fiend, so it’s going to be devil’s food.” Follow the rules or break the rules? “I do like me some rules… but you’ve got to break them sometimes to get what you want. They’re important, so you have to be judicious about when you break them.” Vampire lover or vampire slayer? “Vampire luvah.” Mickey Rourke or Mickey Mouse?…

When GENERAL HOSPITAL’s Brytni Sarpy (Valerie) celebrated her birthday by rescuing Charli four years ago, the firsttime dog mom thought she was adopting a well-mannered little guy. Then she got him home! “I have what I consider a specialneeds dog,” she explains. “I got him at only four months old, but he’d already been pretty badly abused and was deathly afraid of life. Now, he’s a bit better, but he’s still afraid of people, so if he doesn’t know you, you’re enemy No. 1. And he has a lot of issues with men. I feel like a jerk, because I have to tell people he’s not a nice dog. The funny thing is, once he does know you, he’s so aggressive about getting the pets and cuddles. He’s a nut……

they say that the person you kiss on New Year’s Eve is the one you’ll spend the year with. It that’s true, then DAYS OF OUR LIVES’ Paul and Sonny might indeed be headed for a reconciliation. Paul’s portrayer, Christopher Sean, says that the character has always carried a torch for his ex. “I mean literally, he’s like an Olympic runner with the flame!” the actor laughs, adding that the much-anticipated reunion might fi- nally be happening. “The situation is that Sonny’s taken the time to mourn Will’s passing, and he realizes that life does go on, and it goes on fast — with or without him being a part of Paul’s life.” FYIFYIFYI His Lady Love: Sean’s significant other is model/publicist Laneya Arvizu. What He’s Binge-Watching: The CW’s longrunning…

Q: What is your favorite month of the year? Sonya Eddy (Epiphany, GH) “June, because it’s my birthday month, and it’s also when everything is coming into full bloom. People are out of their winter clothes and showing more skin, folks are in a better mood, school is about to come to an end… to me, June has always been about freedom!” Genie Francis (Laura, GH) “September. I love fall, and at the beginning of the season, I just get so happy with the idea of cozying up in the house.” Mary Beth Evans (Kayla, DAYS) “March, because the first week of that month is my youngest son’s, mine and my daughter’s birthdays, all within a couple of days. We always go to some yummy restaurant. The last few times,…

Only weeks after GH’s Jax left Port Charles to return to Australia and care for his ailing mother, Lady Jane’s portrayer, Barbara Tarbuck, passed away in real life. “Barbara was just great casting by the [show’s] ever-on-it [casting director] Mark Teschner,” the Detroit native’s GH son, Ingo Rademacher, tells Soaps In Depth. “On and o. canvas, she could have passed for my mother. We had a great mother/son relationship o. camera, and that transferred to the screen. The audience loved it. It saddens me deeply that we will not have more scenes together in the future.” The 74-year-old also appeared on series ranging from M*A*S*H and FALCON CREST to GLEE and AMERICAN HORROR STORY: ASYLUM; wrote and starred in the play Stopping By; and, in recent months, directed a Los…

Tonja Walker Returns! GH IN After over 25 years away from GENERAL HOSPITAL, Tonja Walker, who played Victor Jerome’s daughter, Olivia, returns to Port Charles this week as the gloved thumb holding Julian down… but who is the mysterious lady mobster? The In Depth Story: At press time, the soap wouldn’t divulge details regarding Walker’s character, other than to repeat an earlier statement that she’d be playing a “prominent role” when she begins airing on Monday, January 16. But, of course, most viewers suspected from the moment her casting was revealed that the actress would be resur rect ing her murder ed — and murderous! — former GH character (who was killed off back in 1990). Other speculation has had the blonde beauty creating the role of yet another Jerome…

Nicole and Chloe are downright shocked when they overhear Deimos make a deadly threat on Monday, January 16! Jennifer is intrigued when she finds out exactly what JJ is up to on Wednesday, January 18. That same day, Abigail and Gabi begin to realize that something big is going down between Chad, Sonny and Dario! Despite having serious issues with one another, the gal pals put aside their differences to work together on Thursday, January 19! But with Dario already planning a serious move, might their efforts prove too late?…

… or did you just about die when GH’s Emma picked up on Grandma’s investigation and o€ ered to spy on her behalf? Anna’s reaction was almost as priceless as our own! And even after the kid was ordered to stand down, she came out of Wyndemere with some seriously hard evidence — on ing and the young woman beginning to surface, reminding us a lot of how we watched the same thing happen as Emma’s mom — Kimberly McCullough’s Robin — grew up!…

When not working at GH, Montgomery is developing a sci-  franchise based on his award-nominated graphic novel, Miles Away. “It’s about Maxwell Miles, a 16-yearold with a clouded history,” he sets up. “He develops a superhuman ability and gets recruited by a shadowy organization to battle an evil entity on future Earth. He also allies with alien refugees and gets pulled into an interstellar war as he explores his family’s complicated and dark past. Now there’s a video game being designed, we’re going to do three feature   lms, and there’s a possibility to go to series.” While plotting his Miles takeover, which already includes a literacy program, Montgomery’s also been offered a new sci-firole. “It’s a beautiful story, and I’d love to do it,” says the actor, who has…

Between scenes, it can often sound more like a sports bar at GH than a television studio. “I love_when Maurice [Benard, Sonny] and I see each other at work,_because he likes to talk sports almost as much as I do,” says Donnell Turner (Curtis), who sometimes has to comfort Benard after his favorite teams or boxers have let him down. Chad Duell (Michael) does his best to show some concern for his TV dad’s disappointments, too, but laughter soon takes control!…

For seven seasons, TNT’s RIZZOLI & ISLES was more than just a cop show. It was also a drama about the bond between two very different women who had in common their sometimesgrisly careers. While soap romances come and go, it’s the love between the friends portrayed on them that endures. Which of these GENERAL HOSPITAL gal pals is most reminiscent of your own BFF? Maxie And Lulu It’s good to make new friends, but keep the old, because as the song says, “One is silver and the other’s gold!” Pals since childhood, Maxie and Lulu have shared everything, including an apartment, a boss, extended family and a whole lot of escapades fueled by blonde ambition. Heck, they had the same best bud in Spinelli and a mutual attraction for…

J ennifer Bassey (Marian, ALL MY CHILDREN) insists that much like the song says, she’s too old to die young. However, she’s definitely not done living! Daaarlings, she’s got a gorgeous engagement ring on her finger and big plans for her future with actor/playwright George Bamford. “I’d given up on ever meeting anybody,” she admits, adding that she’d had 30 wonderful years with her late husband, Luther Davis. “I thought, ‘I have lots of friends who never had that, so I’m not going to be selfish about it. I’m just going to try to be of service to humanity, do what I can to add to the world in a good way and get on with my life.’” Falling In Love Again However, being asked by a mutual friend to counsel…

As Genie Francis celebrates her 40th anniversary with GENERAL HOSPITAL this month, it’s safe to say that alter ego Laura has been put through the wringer, thanks to the Cassadines. So, when the heroine recognized Valentin’s threat to daughter Lulu and granddaughter Charlotte, her portrayer led with the strength of wisdom and experience to win this week’s Gold Star. A Deadly Promise After a delightful little exchange about ’80s fashion, Laura calmly slid into Anna’s table and got real with her about Valentin — who needed to be neutralized! Though she didn’t go so far as to roll her eyes at Anna, Laura seemed to scoff at the idea of waiting for the WSB to turn something up, and her impatience was palpable as she outlined exactly how she expected…

Not only is Sean one of the most genuinely nice guys you’ll ever meet, but he’s also one of the most optimistic. It’s an outlook that he makes a concerted effort to maintain. “It’s very important to remind yourself that your thoughts are your words, your words are your actions, and your actions are your destiny,” he maintains. “So always speak as positively as you can.” When the going gets tough, Sean says it helps to remember the big picture. “What it comes down to is that you must know your own v a lue and s e t healthy boundaries for what you will and will not accept for your life,” he insists. “And remember that regardless of what’s thrown at you, you could lose it all, but you…

Veteran actor William Christopher passed away peacefully at his home in Pasadena, CA, on December 31 following a battle with small-cell carcinoma, a form of lung cancer. Although the 84-year-old was best known for playing Private Lester Hummel on GOMER PYLE, U.S.M.C. and Father Francis Mulcahy on M*A*S*H and AFTER M*A*S*H, daytime fans will likely remember him for playing another holy man: Father Tobias, Eric’s mentor at St. Luke’s, during a 2012 DAYS OF OUR LIVES stint. Christopher (who was also a real-life Methodist priest) is survived by his wife, Barbara, and their sons, John and Ned.…

Sam stumbles upon what might prove to be a vital piece of information on Wednesday,…

1 Franco’s lament. “I’m not a praying man,” he told Elizabeth, “but I’m going to pray that this isn’t the end for us!” 2 Sam’s outfit. Sure, she still donned black on New Year’s Eve, but at least it was sparkly and gorgeous! 3 The newlyweds. Nina and Valentin look at each other in the longing way we generally reserve for a dessert bar. 4 Carly’s conundrum. Being around Sonny puts her loved ones in as much danger as ever, but hey… dimples! 5 Alexis’ truth. “My life is a trash fire!” wailed the unemployed lush who’s living with the husband she hates but nonetheless kisses. ... And 1 Thing We Could Do Without... Nathan’s oversight. The fact that he planned a wedding without making sure he was divorced might…

Given how steamy things got between THE YOUNG & THE RESTLESS’ Nick and Chelsea on New Year’s Eve, it’s inevitable that things are going to change! “I think it’s starting to trickle in that he has feeling for her,” confesses Joshua Morrow, who plays the widowed father. “He’s used to relying on her for support. They each suffered huge losses, so they understand what the other has been dealing with. “Chelsea is a beautiful woman, and he’s proud of how she’s handled every thing,” he adds. “He can see why his brother was madly in love with her. It’s hard not to be attracted to someone like her!” Still, Morrow says that both characters are trying to fight their attraction — at least for now. “Nick is lost and feeling…

Bravo, New Kid! The little girl who plays Charlotte (Scarlett Fernandez) is amazingly talented! She’s had some tough scenes and handles them like a pro. Can’t wait to see her grow. Jennifer Witherspoon via Soaps In Depth Facebook page Baby Bomb I totally abhor the embryo storyline. Lulu’s spoken so much about her stolen embryos that I can’t eat eggs at breakfast anymore! And then rushing over to claim a daughter who doesn’t even know her and has been passed around repeatedly to di  erent “fathers”? Absolutely insane. This child will be in therapy for 25 years after this. Aeva Wheet via Soaps In Depth Facebook page Hardy Boys I like Jason working with Curtis. I like their chemistry. Would be fun to see them get into solving more cases…

YIFYIFYI For Starters: Bregman was born on May 29 in Munich, Germany, and raised in L.A. and London. Family Reunion? The Y&R leading lady would love to see Lauren’s sons return to help her run Fenmore’s. “It would be so amazing,” she says, “to have those boys back and have them in the family business!” S oaps know how to show off the lifestyles of the beautiful and the fabulously wealthy. THE YOUNG & THE RESTLESS’ Lauren Fenmore is a perfect example. As a department-store heiress, the flame-haired knockout has always lived her life in the lap of luxury. Yet thanks to a recent storyline twist, the character may find herself on shaky financial ground suddenly, with the department store possibly even facing bankruptcy. While Lauren’s reversal of fortune has sent…

FYIFYIFYI Birthday: November 4. Hometown: Hinsdale, IL.

Despite Quinn and Eric’s best efforts, Wyatt was sure his marriage to Steffy was truly kaput, and he solidified the notion with a pain-killing bottle of tequila. Later, tensions rose between Wyatt and Liam when Steffy revealed plans for her future living arrangements. Brooke grew impatient waiting to tie the knot with Ridge, which gave Bill an opportunity to remind the blonde of all he could offer her instead. Eric sent Quinn and Ridge to San Francisco for a design symposium. Quinn was apprehensive about the trip — especially because of the recent romantic tension between them — but she ended up being quite touched by the public praise Ridge heaped on her there. Little did she know it was all part of his plot to take her down! Upon…
