With GH’s Steve Burton (ex-Jason) due to make his comeback any day now, fans of Billy Miller’s Jason are a bit worried. The actors’ legendary castmate, Maurice Benard (Sonny), however, sees Burton’s return to the canvas as a win/win. “It’s going to be great story,” Benard promises. “Two racehorses going down the track, and we’ll see where it goes. I love it! “People are asking me who I’d rather have” — Miller or Burton, Benard continues. “That’s not a question I can answer. Billy plays Jason a different way, and he’s a cool dude. People love Billy. “But,” he concludes, “Steve’s the one who started it. He’s also like blood to me. So you can’t really compare. I’d like to work with both of them — two Jasons is better…

So far, DAYS OF OUR LIVES’ Bonnie has slipped pretty seamlessly into — and made a mess of — look-alike Adrienne’s life. And, at the moment, it’s looking like the schemer’s going to get away with it, too! For those who remember the character from before her incarceration, that shouldn’t be surprising. “[Prison] is the last place she wants to go back to,” says portrayer Judi Evans. And she’s capable of doing whatever it takes to remain a free woman. After all, she knows first-h and that “you’ve got to fight to get what you want. Unfor tunately, that was her life… knowing that she’s gotta fight for every little scrap.” Does that make Bonnie a bad person? It depends on whom you ask! After all, Bonnie was doing time…

Playing a schemer like GENERAL HOSPITAL’s Nelle, Chloe Lanier is always a bit on guard at fan events. “Some people think I’m this conniving, horrible person — which I’m not,” says the actress. “At one event, this woman hugged everybody and then said, ‘I don’t know about you,’ and just walked past me! I also had someone call me the devil, and I had to block somebody on social media. But for the most part, everybody’s really nice. They can see I’m not a bad person.” Plus, Laura Wright (Carly) always has her back… well, except that one time. “I got a fan letter, written in blue Sharpie, telling me I need to get breast implants like Pamela Anderson and start taking steroids to make my arm muscles larger in…

Just as Abigail and Gabi were able to talk each other into just about anything — including belly-dancing — their portrayers are equally adventurous. “A few weeks ago, Camila Banus (Gabi; formerly ONE LIFE TO LIVE’s Lola) and I went on a ropes course at a camp where you help kids,” Miller con. des. “It’s one of those things where you’re tethered to a rope, so you know you’re not going to fall, but when you’re standing on top of a 25-foot pole, it’s terrifying!” Of course, when Miller was visibly frightened prior to making the leap, Banus made sure to document her pal’s experience for posterity. “She took a video, and you could see that my legs were just shaking… They shook the whole pole! ” Miller admits. “But…

A Break To Heal After three months away, Storms admits she was a bit nervous about returning to the set in June. “I’d taken so much time to just focus on myself, and I’ve always put a lot of pressure on myself at work — just because I want Maxie to be the best Maxie I can make her,” she explains. “Before my…

When her husband, director Michael Patrick Jann, is off on location, Lisa LoCicero (Olivia) mans the homefront on her own. “It is a bit of an adjustment,” admits the mom to Verity, 2, and Luke, 15. “That’s why my house is such a disaster!” The separation might be easier to manage if the couple weren’t such a team. “When he’s here, we do everything together,” she explains. “And that makes it a lot more fun. When Verity does something funny or silly, being with the other person in the world who appreciates it as much as you do makes it like it actually happened.” Big brother Luke chips in and shares some laughs, and there’s lots of FaceTiming with Dad, but these solo runs give LoCicero perspective. “It definitely makes…

HE YOUNG & THE RESTLESS’ Cait Fairbanks (Tessa) didn’t get bitten by the acting bug so much as the singing bug when she was 8 years old. Yet she discovered the quickest way to sing before a live audience was musical theater. “I joined a community theater in Irvine, CA, called MTV — Musical Theater Village. I liked to tell my friends that I was on MTV!” she shares with a laugh. “The first thing I ever did was Annie. I didn’t get to be Annie, but I fell in love with the process.” Which doesn’t mean the dark-eyed beauty was dreaming of a career in showbiz. In fact, when the director of the theater company brought it up, “I was like, ‘Ha! I’m going to be a veterinarian!’ But…

These days, Alicia Leigh Willis (ex-Cour tney, GENERAL HOSPITAL) is just as comfortable in the kitchen as she is on a movie set. Having studied at Matthew Kenney Culinary School and enrolled in a community-college program, she’s mastered many techniques and especially learned a lot about raw and vegan dishes. “It taught me about super foods and a healthier way of eating,” she shares. “It’s made me really question where food’s coming from and what we’re putting into our bodies.” Combining Her Skills Willis isn’t trying to become a professional; rather, it’s about honing her skills prior to launching a cooking show! “I want to have different chefs on every episode and travel to farms around the world,” she previews, adding that the plan is to produce the pilot in…

Q: What teacher made the biggest impact on you, or do you have fondest memories of? Donnell Turner (Curtis, GH) “Mrs. Howell, my second grade teacher. She always knew I was going to be famous, and she used to say every day, ‘When asked who was your biggest in. uence, say “Mrs. Howell, my second grade teacher.”’ It’s been programmed into me since second grade, even before I knew what the word ‘in. uence’ meant, because she believed in me back then.” Bryan R. Dattilo (Lucas, DAYS) “Mrs. Friedman from Beverly Hills High School. She got me. She saw right through me and understood my act. She didn’t want to hear my shtick; instead, she called me out and got me interested in studying history. To this day, I’m a…

The In Depth Story: Dillon’s romance with Kiki not only solidified Watkins’ place in viewers’ hearts, it gave rise to the popular por tmanteau Killon. So when word spread that GH had let the actor go, fans reacted in a big way! Touched by the outpouring, Watkins took to social media to respond. These sorts of “things in life can either break you or set you on fire for the next chapter — consider me lit,” he wrote, posting a video of himself wearing a #KILLONIT T-shirt. “Honestly, all of the love and support you are showing me has put a smile on my face.” What didn’t put a smile on Watkins’ handsome face, however, was the ensuing angry backlash, which included suggestions in the Twitterverse that other cast members…

Come fall , the Cheetwood brothers, Drew and Derk, will be “in and out of Por t Charles” as Milo and Max, says a show rep. Debra Strang steps in for Betsy “Mother Of James” Franco as Franco’s adoptive mom, Betsy, this week.

Eric’s continued willingness to give Sheila the benefit of the doubt on THE BOLD & THE BEAUTIFUL has lef t Quinn beside herself with frustration. But regardless of the headway Sheila may make in derailing Eric’s relationship with Quinn, John McCook (Eric) says he believes the Forresters’ relationship is for keeps. “In my mind, no matter what the ups and downs are, no matter who comes and goes, no matter what happens with Ridge or anybody else, the story I’m playing is Eric and Quinn’s love story, ” he says. “That’s the real throughline for me, and I know it’s the same for Rena [Sofer, Quinn], too.

… or we re you unable to decide whether GH was offering up some foreshadowing or simply messing with viewers when Sam, Carly and Sonny suddenly became . xated on how their relationships with Jason had changed since his return from the dead? The whole thing seemed to con. rm that Steve Burton’s return would play with the question of whether his Jason or the one played by Billy Miller is the “real” Stone Cold, and yet it was so heavy-handed that we started to get suspicious. “Maybe,” we thought, “they’re trying to trick us into thinking we’ve got it all . gured out!” Only time will tell whether we were ahead of the curve or heading for a blindside!…

Hot Topic: Is Parker’s Return Good News For Kristina? OUR TAKE Last summer, Kristina was reassessing her sexuality, love triangling with both sexes and just trying to figure things out.

Maybe Tessa will be the one to break Noah’s dismal track record in the romance department. Consider her predecessors: Eden: First love Eden wreaked havoc by causing Noah (then Kevin Schmidt) to rebel against his parents. The teen then followed her to live in Paris, but she dumped him after six months. Noah returned to Genoa City a little smarter and a lot more bitter. Still, the hunk got some closure when the beauty came back to town and apologized. Courtney: Noah fought his feelings for Courtney because he thought Summer’s friend was too young for him… and, oh, yeah, she was dealing drugs. Their romance flourished when she revealed that she was an undercover cop. Alas, she was murdered on the day they were to wed! Marisa: While Noah…

Most people don’t board a flight covered in tiramisu, but that’s exactly the s i t u a t i o n THE BOLD & THE BEAUTIFUL’s Jacqueline MacInnes Wood (Steffy) found herself in earlier this year. Blame it on a tight schedule and a day spent on set playing out a food fight with Courtney Hope (Sally). When the director yelled “Cut!” Wood would’ve ordinarily hit the shower, but “I was flying out of town right after work, and I had to basically run from the set to the airport,” she laughs. “I was trying to pick [cake] out of my hair the whole Uber drive there. “The good part,” she adds, “is that I at least smelled like a nice dessert when I went through security!” A Well-Stamped…

ENERAL HOSPITAL’s Sonny is somber, even on a good day, so it was a treat to see the lighter side of his portrayer, Emmywinning soap legend Maurice Benard, who hosted the annual gathering of the show’s fan club in Glendale, CA. Mic in hand, he cajoled a panel of his castmates into answering a few questions while guests noshed on brunch.

AYS OF OUR LIVES’ Abigail loves Chad, and truly wants him to be happy… even at her own expense. Her portrayer, Marci Miller, says that’s exactly why she released him to be with the other woman for whom he fell during the time that his wife had faked her death. “Abigail knew that he wanted to be with Gabi,” the actress insists, “and he was too good of a man to make that choice on his own.” Absence Made Their Hearts Grow Fonder As it turned out, making decisions for Chad was a mistake that left them both miserable, and now they’re hoping to put a fork in that difficult time of their lives. “The struggle of having to face life without each other has been a very sobering and…

With the GENERAL HOSPITAL audience still divided over Julian’s guilt, the stoic defendant took the stand and then demanded his sentencing. While the former Mob boss couldn’t convince the judge of his innocence, portrayer William deVry ruled the courtroom with a tense, layered performance that earned him this week’s Gold Star. Disorder In The Court As Rudge began his testimony, Julian kept his lips tightly sealed, but the more the witness lied, the hotter the defendant’s seat got. Finally, he lunged at Olivia’s sidekick, shouting… and destroying his case. Though left dazed for a beat, Julian soon was reduced to grumbling dejectedly at Scotty. Then Alexis showed up, so of course, he caught himself. Hands on hips, he firmly shot down every witness at his disposal and, after listening to…
