The In Depth Story: There was a time when Hamilton Finn wanted nothing more than to wall himself off emotionally. He didn’t need anyone or anything, with the possible exception of Roxy, his emotional-support bearded dragon. Sure, the quirky doc allowed himself to fall — hard — for Hayden, but he went right back into his shell when she left him broken-hearted. And then, he crossed paths — and began having adventures — with Anna. Although Finn tried to resist the Brit’s charms, it was clear pretty early on that she had managed to get under his skin. So much so that this week, he’s ready to take their relationship to the next level! “Anna doesn’t like being at the center of a mystery!” According to co-headwriter Shelly Altman, this…

GH alum Vinessa Antoine (ex-Jordan) will be checking into another medical center—Atlanta’s fictional Chastain Park Memorial, to be exact — when she guest-stars on Fox’s THE RESIDENT next week! In the Monday, April 15, episode, titled “Black Cloud,” Antoine plays a woman who gives birth only to experience post-pregnancy complications. Tune in at 8 p.m. EST.…

Galen Gering says that over the course of the last 10 years, his DAYS OF OUR LIVES character, Rafe, “has really grown with regard to his position in Salem.” But while he’s well-established as a lawman, he doesn’t always wear a white hat. As we saw during his volatile former marriage, “it was sort of, all bets are off because you never know how things will go with Sami,” Gering reflects. “But with Hope, she’s very ground-ed. She’s like a rock. So Rafe thinks that this marriage should, by all means, work.” However, the police commissioner’s new spouse didn’t expect Ted to try and come between them. Nor did he expect the sexy Frenchman to be in their workplace as the new district attorney! But if Ted continues to push…

When this character showed up in Port Charles, locals were instantly thrown by his resemblance to Luke. There’s no doubt you remember his face… but did Luke’s cousin have what it takes to stick in your memory? Let’s see if you recall his name. (We’ll even give you hints.) 1. When the SS Tracy was sunk, this brainiac engineer invented a machine to raise the ship out of the water. 2. After accidentally falling in with Faison’s cartel, Luke’s look-alike faked pal Robert’s death… only to wind up having to kill his girlfriend’s father for real! 3. This wine collector made the mistake of getting caught in bed with his ex, so ticked-off girlfriend Holly destroyed his rarest bottles of vino. 4. Back when Luke killed his father, this guy…

When THE BOLD TYPE returns to Freeform on Tuesday, April 9, the wait to learn whether a conflicted Jane chose to be with hot doc Ben Chau or witty writer Ryan “Pinstripe Guy” Decker will finally be over. But hold onto your hats… there’s more on the line than just Jane’s heart. After all, the man that the BRCA gene-positive woman picks will be the one by her side during her ongoing struggle to freeze her eggs! Showrunner Amanda Lasher says that for Jane, this season “is about finding the courage to be vulnerable in this journey and share it with somebody else.” Sutton’s Moving! While Sutton is usually Jane’s go-to sounding board, the fashionista is a tad distracted by the changes going on in her own life since she…

GENERAL HOSPITAL’s Griffin left Port Charles a broken man… but not before Matt Cohen blew us away with a handful of emotional showdowns so powerful that they earned him this week’s Gold Star. Pent-Up Rage Not even Anna could get through to Griffin, who’d been racking up bruises since Kiki’s death. And even as he skirted her questions with weak smiles and eye rolls, Cohen filled his character with a tension that was undeniable… until finally, Griffin confessed that he couldn’t make peace with the fact that he’d lost Kiki and been fooled by her killer. The doc’s eyes seemed to beg Anna for a way out, and he laughed angrily at the notion that his sparring matches were helping. His desperation was palpable — and only increased by Laura’s…

Jason has no choice but to act quickly on Tuesday, April 9. It can’t be terribly surprising that Anna’s an emotional wreck on Wednesday, April 10, especially after everything she’s been through of late. (Bet she wishes Griffin was there for her to lean on!) Sam winds up being called out by Molly on Thursday, April 11. And you won’t want to miss everything that goes down on Friday, April 12. First, Finn offers advice on a topic that falls within his area of expertise. Then, Laura — who’s put up a bit of a wall around herself in order to stay strong in the face of trauma — finds herself softening. But the real fun will take place when Valentin and Spencer again cross paths… and verbal swords! Who’ll…

Quinn is stunned when, on Monday, April 8, Shauna reveals a previously-unknown connection between them. Quinn presses Bill for info on Tuesday, April 9, and he makes a startling accusation against Shauna. Flo wrestles with her conscience when, on Wednesday, April 10, Hope tells her she wants them to become besties. Flo tries to come clean on Thursday, April 11, but is interrupted by Hope. That same day, the results of Flo’s DNA test is revealed, and it’ll change the Spencer, Logan and Forrester families forever. As Flo processes the news on Friday, April 12, Bill has a hard time focusing on business — he’s caught up in thoughts of Shauna and Flo.…

Even if Finola Hughes and Michael Easton hadn’t been GENERAL HOSPITAL castmates while he played McBain and Silas, the pairing of his current character, Finn, with her longtime alter ego, Anna, was almost a foregone conclusion. Any way you look at their careers, they were always headed toward an on-screen coupling (albeit in a roundabout way). Read on and see for yourself.…

FYI Birthday: December 22.  Birthplace: Chicago. Twitter Handle: LauraleeB4real. Extra, Extra: Bell first appeared on Y&R as an extra when she was just 9 years old. Recently, THE YOUNG & THE RESTLESS wowed fans with an intense courtroom trial that pitted Christine Williams against… well, pretty much everyone in Genoa City. We spoke to Lauralee Bell, who plays the D.A., about what it was like to show her alter ego in such a tough and, some might say, unsympathetic light! Soaps In Depth: You did an amazing job with the recent courtroom battle that forced your character to go after fan favorites Nikki, Sharon and Victoria. How was that for you to play? Lauralee Bell: It was really complicated. The trial was so well-written, but I had a personal struggle with…

As one of Kiki’s biggest fans, GENERAL HOSPITAL’s Hayley Erin hasn’t yet seen her character laid to rest. “I watched all of Maura West’s beautiful scenes when Ava found out, but I can’t watch the funeral,” she admits. “Leading up to this, I thought I was going to relish in it. ‘I’ve cried over graves. Now I want to watch you cry over my grave!’ But it’s so not like that. It’s genuinely sad for me.” Born Again While Erin misses working with her friends at GH, she’s “super flattered” Kiki was snuffed out when she landed a new gig in Portland last fall. “I take it as a compliment they didn’t want to bring in another Kiki,” she says. “It worked for the story, and I got to move…

FYI Perfectly Paired: The actress is wed to THIS IS US star Justin Hartley (ex-Adam, THE YOUNG & THE RESTLESS). Crowned And Ready: Hartley is “excited” about the return this month of HBO’s GAME OF THRONES. She’s A Foodie: “I love to eat, but I don’t like to cook!” Hartley admits. Feeling Charitable: Hartley supports Blessings In A Backpack (blessingsinabackpack.org), which provides food to students who might otherwise go hungry on weekends. On DAYS OF OUR LIVES, Jordan’s recently-revealed infant son could grow up to have a serious problem on his hands: His mother is nuts! Not only did she purposely cause the accident that killed his grandmother, but she recently kidnapped another baby and tried to murder Ciara. It’s a scenario that Jordan’s portrayer, Chrishell Hartley, finds familiar. After…

THE BOLD & THE BEAUTIFUL Hope was a godsend for Thomas and Douglas. But when Brooke learned that Taylor wanted Hope to fall for her son (thereby freeing up Liam to be with Steffy) she hit the roof and alerted Liam to the shrink’s scheme. Katie and Will finally figured out who their mystery “Cupid” was, and later shared a warm family moment. Zoe irritated Hope by urging her to have another baby and pestered Flo by warning her to keep her mouth shut about Phoebe’s true identity. After Sally decided on the correct career path for her future, she and Quinn argued over what (or whom) would ultimately make Wyatt happy. At Quinn and Wyatt’s urging, Flo phoned her mom, Shauna, who was living in Las Vegas, to get…

Playing it Cool Maurice Benard (Sonny), who submitted emotional scenes tied to Mike’s Alzheimer’s, had a different outlook on the game this year. “I used to get real crazy. If I didn’t get nominated, it hurt a lot. And if I did get nominated, maybe I was just too high about it. This year, I’m just appreciative. The bottom line is, it’s always nice to be invited to the party.” Gone But Not Forgotten Last year’s Outstanding Younger Actress, Chloe Lanier (ex-Nelle), confesses that she wasn’t expecting a nomination again “because I’m not on the show anymore. I would be more than delighted to win again, but if things don’t go my way, I’ll just be happy to see everybody.” Tough Competition With more than one GH player in many…

IN An “All-New” Jax! At long last, Ingo Rademacher is back at the GENERAL HOSPITAL studio, taping scenes as Jax! So when will we see him on screen? The In Depth Story: Rademacher reported to work the last week of March. “Won’t be long now,” the ac-tor teased on March 20 via Instagram, posting a photo of himself standing in front of the famed GH entry. “Just had my fitting. All-new look for Jax. Start shooting next week.” While the actor didn’t have an air date to share, he did note that he “can’t wait” to be back in the mix. Rademacher’s return was announced back in February, shortly after he’d finished his run as THE BOLD & THE BEAUTIFUL’s Thorne. While it’s not clear what brings Jax back to…

There’s no denying that THE YOUNG & THE RESTLESS’ Rey and Sharon have had a rocky time with their romance, what with her involvement in J.T.’s supposed death and Rey’s decision to arrest her. But those obstacles may be nothing compared to having to deal with Hurricane Mia! Already, Rey committed a terrible mistake when he kept quiet about his estranged wife’s news that she was carrying his child. “Sharon and Rey have suffered so much — Rey just wanted them to be happy for a little while!” defends his portrayer, Jordi Vilasuso. “But Sharon found out and got in his face about it. It definitely causes conflict for them!” Still, Vilasuso believes that Rey and Sharon have a chance at love. “They have to face the reality of the…

Just The Right Speed GENERAL HOSPITAL’s Kirsten Storms is enjoying Maxie’s budding romance, and a big part of that is the guy playing her love interest, Peter. “He’s the sweetest,” Storms raves of Wes Ramsey, who in real life is dating her close friend and co-star, Laura Wright (Carly). “I couldn’t love working with him more. He’s probably the most prepared person on the show, which is awesome. He’s very professional, and he takes it very seriously. He cares about how his work comes across, and not in an arrogant way. I enjoy having scenes opposite somebody like that.” What’s more, her energy and approach to the work fits well with Ramsey’s. “I come in there going 100 miles an hour, and I want to know the other person’s prepared……

GH Hot And Cold 1992 After a car wreck left Jason Quartermaine with brain damage, his former high-school classmate, Robin Scorpio, was, against all odds, one of the few people who could reach him. No more was he the budding med-school student that she still was; in his place, there stood Jason Morgan, the “stone-cold” hired gun protecting mobster Sonny Corinthos. Nonetheless, they connected, forming a friendship that they both desperately needed. She didn’t look at him as if hoping he’d be who he used to be, and, for his part, he was there for her as she dealt with her sorrow over the loss of her boyfriend, Stone Cates. He was even there for her on the night that it appeared she was going to jump off a bridge.…

FYI Birthday: Hope celebrates her birthday on August 15, while Duell’s natal day is September 14. Hometowns: Plano, TX and Chicago, IL. How They Met: The couple were originally introduced to one another by mutual friend Bryan Craig (ex-Morgan, GH) at a party! a lot of love resides in the home that THE BOLD & THE BEAUTIFUL’s Courtney Hope (Sally) and GENERAL HOSPITAL’s Chad Duell (Michael) have made together, and they recently took Soaps In Depth inside for a peek! Along with their three dogs, Stevie Nicks, Bella and Bentley, the couple couldn’t be more content in their little chill-out corner of the universe!…

GH He’s No Angel Apparently, sins really are forgiven at the pearly gates. How else to explain how GENERAL HOSPITAL’s Alan Quartermaine — the longtime philanderer who once plotted to do away with his cheating wife — made it into heaven. When he visited his widow, Monica, in 2008, she thought of him less as an angel than a spirit. (And hey, it wasn’t like he had wings — or the disposition — to prove otherwise.) The deceased doctor returned again a few years later to reassure Monica that he wasn’t mad that she’d let him go years believing that their son, A.J., was dead. (Mind you, this was before A.J. really did die-die. If he has actually died-died this time.) Next, Alan swung low through Port Charles to encourage…

Q: Who or what do you most credit with inspiring you to want to become an actor? Briana Nicole Henry (Jordan, GH) “I was inspired when I got to college and started studying Shakespeare. It’s such a hard thing to do well, but there’s something about the way Shakespeare’s words feel in your mouth that was so inspiring, lyrical and beautiful that I was just like, ‘Yes! This is what I want to do.’” Kristian Alfonso (Hope, DAYS) “I can’t even tell you because during that time, I never went to movies and I didn’t really watch TV! So it was all by accident.” Kate Linder (Esther, Y&R) “I really was born wanting to be in this industry. It’s all I’ve ever wanted to be, but if I had to…
