While it’s been hard for fans to even think about DAYS OF OUR LIVES’ Chad finding love with anyone other than Abigail, the fact remains that he and Gabi shared a connection. “They have a history, and that’s impor tant,” Chad’s por trayer, Billy Flynn, suggests. “Plus, they’ve both been through a lot and lost people.” Although Abigail’s now back in Chad’s world, the fact remains that he had been grieving for her since she lost her mind — long before she appeared toAlthough Abigail’s now back in Chad’s world, the fact remains that he had been grieving for her since she lost her mind — long before she appeared to Besides, when your life has been so full of grief and life-or-death drama, it’s not so bad to want…

It’s quite shocking how far GENERAL HOSPITAL’s Julian and Alexis have come since last year… but it’s finally star ting to make sense! Though leading man William deVry isn’t sure how — or if! — his megapopular character will get out from under the thumb of the mysterious player pulling his strings, he’s thrilled to see the story beginning to unfold. Quick-Change Artist When Julian returned to Mob life with a vengeance last year, many GH fans felt he turned too dark too fast, but deVry saw it differently. “The real 180 was Julian jumping into this whole Mr. Dress- Up role with Alexis and becoming a great husband and father, not getting back into the business,” he maintains. “The business is what he comes from, and like Sonny said,…

Bravo! GENERAL HOSPITAL’s Genie Francis (Laura) has been a fan of Maurice Benard (Sonny) since they first worked together 30 years ago as ALL MY CHILDREN’s Ceara and Nico, respectively. Decades later, Benard still surprises her. “He’s an extraordinary actor,” Francis raves. “I can never predict what he’s going to do next, and I like that. I’d love to have more scenes with him, because working with the great actors always brings me up.” While Francis always appreciates Benard as an actor, Sonny’s confession atMorgan’s funeral gave her a legit scare! “When he shot that scene, I was in the makeup room getting my hair done,” she recounts. “I heard his voice and I got panicky, like ‘Oh, Maurice!’ I ran to the monitor, and stood there, my hands covering…

No one can say that GENERAL HOSPITAL’s Rebecca Budig (Hayden) doesn’t know her own mind. When running our either/or gauntlet, the actress sometimes decided not to pick one or the other but both — or, if she had a better idea, suggested an alternative of her own. Read on and see for yourself! Daredevil or ’fraidy-cat? “Daredevil.” First in line or fashionably late? “First in line. I tend to be an early bird.” Book or movie? “Book.” Cook or clean? “Both.” Ballgame or video game? “Ugh — neither.” Salty or sweet? “Salty.” DMV visit or dental appointment? “Oh, dental appointment.” Introvert or Extrovert? “Extrovert.” M&Ms or Skittles? “M&Ms.” Heavy metal or Lite FM? “Heavy metal… if I had to choose! I’m all over the place with music. I run the…

“We made this dress in-house, because I just didn’t see the right one out there. We wanted something elevated but not a wedding gown,” says Reeves. “It needed to walk this  ne line, so I laid it out for Kelly Monaco (Sam) — I love working with her, because she gets into the process, and she gets it. We agreed we wanted something . owy, short and chi. on. We just had to find the silhouette, so we looked on-line, brainstorming, and came across a picture of Elizabeth Taylor in Cat On A Hot Tin Roof. We were like, ‘That’s it!’ I bought this pearlescent silk chi. on, and my amazing seamstress, Maki Chaudhuri, made us a beautiful dress.”…

Let’s face it: GENERAL HOSPITAL fans weren’t exactly surprised when Charlotte turned out to be Lulu’s child. In fact, many had been predicting as much from the moment the blonde moppet first arrived in Port Charles. But there’s a big difference between what the audience pretty much knows and how the fictional characters on our screen have to react. For them, every development is unexpected. After all, where’s the drama in characters discovering something and reacting with a shr ug? What really grabbed our attention as this particular plot point played out was the way in which Emme Rylan and Dominic Zamprogna played Lulu and Dante in the aftermath of the shock. And it was those performances which landed them our Gold Star this week! Spreading The Word Still trying…

Eric lectured Steffy on what he expected from her, both professionally and personally. She later planned a romantic evening with Liam to gently break the news of Eric’s demands. Though Ridge and Brooke discussed their future wedding plans, he was distracted by his hatred for Quinn and set about enacting a plan that he hoped would rid her from his father’s life.

As the _ ne folks in Port Charles settle into the new year, let’s take a moment to re ect on the biggest stories GENERAL HOSPITAL (and the extended ABC Daytime family) had to o. er over the past 12 months.

FYIFYIFYI Born: August 27 in Westchester, NY. Girl Power: This year, Mosley joined forces with a friend to create a production company to champion women of color. “We’re producing a short in January as well as a couple of Web series,” she shares. Her Littlest Fan: Mosley’s 3-year-old niece, Lilia, watches her auntie in HI-5, the children’s show she once starred on. While it’s customary to reflect on the previous year when ringing in the new one, THE BOLD & THE BEAUTIFUL’s Karla Mosley (Maya) makes an event of it! “I have a group of friends come over, and we’ll do a sort of ‘intention-setting’ night, where we’ll look back at the year and celebrate what we accomplished,” she says. “There have been years where I’ll think, ‘I didn’t do…

Tonja Walker Returns To ABC!

At Long Last! What I enjoy is that Dante and Lulu are married again! Anushka Christine Hettiarachchi via Soaps In Depth Facebook page Wrap it Up! The show drags the storylines out way too long and half the time, they wind up making no sense. Why was Claudette a big part and now she’s gone? Too many twists that don’t connect. Ann Grace via Soaps In Depth Facebook page Ann Grace via Soaps In Depth Facebook page I like the cat-and-mouse game going on between Julian and Alexis. William deVry and Nancy Lee Grahn are always entertaining to watch. Cindy Evans via Soaps In Depth Facebook page Playing Doctor!

FYIFYI Birthday: November 28. Birthplace: St. Louis, MO. One Step At A Time: Tognoni not only designs some pretty cool shoes with her footwear company, Sole 9 (Sole9.com), but she uses a portion of the proceeds to benefit the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence (NCADV). Even though love triangles are par for the course in daytime drama, they often generate plenty of heated discussions among fans. And that can make any actor involved in the love triangle a little ner vous. Yet THE YOUNG & THE RESTLESS’ Gina Tognoni relished the chance to play Phyllis cheating on hubby Jack by having a sizzling affair with his younger brother, Billy. “I jumped up Eand down and went, ‘Yay!’ Because you know what that means? I get to work with both Peter…

It’s no great surprise that a singer like Mosley frequently looks to her iTunes library to lift her spirits. “Lately, it’s been all about the Knowles sisters,” she reveals. “Between Beyonce’s Lemonade and Solange’s A Seat At The Table, those albums totally ruled my year.” It’s not at all uncommon for Mosley to blare music and break into a spontaneous dance party in her house, but when she’s in the mood for something a little more soothing, she turns to classic crooners like Ella Fitzgerald, Nina Simone and Billie Holiday. “It depends on what I’m in the mood for,” she says, “whether I need to get it out and rage or I need to just mellow out.”…

Some would say that faking one’s death is a very selfish thing to do… or at the very least, crazy! DAYS OF OUR LIVES’ Abigail was indeed not in her right mind when she escaped from Shady Brook; however, her portrayer, Marci Miller, says that the choices she made afterwards did indeed make a certain kind of sense. “She’s a very loving person,” she insists. “She made the decision [to vanish] truly because she thought it was what was best for the people who are important to her.” Now that Abigail’s gotten her head straightened out, she’s rethought her decision. But, given the rocky road she’s traversed over the last year, she’s not even sure what a future with Chad would look like. “It’s an interesting journey seeing her make…

Q: At which store would you be tempted to max out your credit card? Ryan Paevey ( Nathan, GH) “Restoration Hardware. I walk around that store like a crack addict, scratching my arms and twitching. ‘I don’t have a place for that… but I want it!’ I’ve already got a list of $10,000 worth of crap I want to buy — which I will not be buying. I can’t let myself even start, because I’ll get in serious trouble. I will mess myself up. I’ll do bad things.” Chloe Lanier (Nelle, GH) “Sephora. Weirdly enough, I’m not great at doing my makeup, but I love makeup, so I attempt it all the time.” Brytni Sarpy (Valerie, GH) “Whole Foods, because I love food and I love good food. Also, Target,…
