July 2014

A lot of actors may gush about how finding success in the crazy world of entertainment is a blessing, but when “The Young and the Restless’” Mishael Morgan (Hilary Curtis) says it, she means it — literally! And that’s because a horrific accident nearly ruined her chances at becoming a daytime star, or anything else for that matter. Soap Opera Network caught up with the actress to get the scoop on her near-death experience as well as how a lucky streak has landed her smack dab in the middle of the popular Genoa City father/son duo of Neil (Kristoff St. John) and Devon (Bryton James)!

“All My Children’s” Susan Lucci (ex-Erica Kane) has a winning career with a long history in daytime and a current role as “Devious Maids’” Genevieve Delatour, but is she also a winner when it comes to real estate? Time will tell, as the actress and her husband, Helmut Huber, have just put their Hamptons home on the market!

Fans of “Days of our Lives’” James Scott (EJ DiMera) may be disappointed that he’s not playing sexy Christian Grey in the upcoming film “50 Shades of Grey,” but we have some consoling information: Many of you might not know that he can be seen in the ultra erotic music video for “Unforgotten,” a tune from Roxanna’s album, Exotica, which was released earlier this month!

Former “All My Children” star Jesse McCartney (ex-J.R. Chandler) has a lot to celebrate these days: Not only did he just release his new album, In Technicolor, he also landed a guest role on ABC Family’s “Young & Hungry!”

Congratulations are in order for former “General Hospital” star Stephen Kay (ex-Reginald Jennings), who married…

Antonio Sabato Jr. may be known for his roles as Jagger Cates on “General Hospital,” Dante Damiano on “The Bold and the Beautiful” and Jack Parezi on “Melrose Place,” but he’s more than just a gorgeous soap star — which he’s proving as the host of the new design show “Fix It and Finish It!”

It’s a far cry from Port Charles, but “General Hospital’s” Vanessa Marcil (ex-Brenda Barrett) will soon be seen in Puerto Rico — via Hallmark Channel’s new film, “Stranded in Paradise!”

“The Young and the Restless’” Melissa Claire Egan (Chelsea Lawson) always seems to be smiling (off screen, anyway!), but her beaming grin is particularly bright at the moment: She wed sweetheart Matt Katrosar over the weekend!
