All Things About
With Craig Ferguson set to step down as host of “The Late Late Show” on Friday, December 19, CBS has announced that following re-runs of the late night talk show, special editions will be produced featuring rotating guest hosts and special after-dark editions of CBS Daytime’s “The Talk” from Monday, January 5 – Friday, March 6, 2015 (12:37-1:37 AM, ET/PT).
Now that the Thanksgiving holiday has come and gone, Christmas Day will be all the rage this holiday season. If you’re not interested in staying home to open your presents and spend time indoors with the family, why not go “Into The Woods” with soap alums Billy Magnussen (ex-Casey Hughes, “As The World Turns”) and Mackenzie Mauzy (ex-Phoebe Forrester, “The Bold and the Beautiful”)?
Just before the Thanksgiving holiday festivities began, actress Farah Fath (“Days of our Lives,” “One Life to Live”) announced that she is engaged to longtime boyfriend, Phil Galfond, a professional poker player and CEO of RunItOnce.com.
If things look a little bit different around here it’s because things are different. As promised on our social networks, we have been working very hard behind the scenes leading up to this Thanksgiving holiday weekend to bring you the best user experience at Soap Opera Network, which not only includes the most up-to-date soap opera related content, but also a more visually appealing layout with page speed in mind. As a result of our new design, there will be plenty of new features we’ll be able to play around with that’ll provide our readers with the best presentation of our content, including this puppy.
On Monday, December 1, the moment of truth arrives for Victoria Newman (Amelia Heinle), Stitch Rayburn (Sean Carrigan) and Billy Abbott (Burgess Jenkins) on CBS’ “The Young and the Restless” as the trio finally learns who the father of Victoria’s baby truly is. In a promo highlighting Monday’s episode, Victoria tells her newborn baby girl, Katie, “It’s time to find out who you’re going to be calling daddy…”
It’s raining men at “The Price Is Right,” which has been in the thick of a national male model search of manly proportions for the past couple of weeks. And seeing as how the game show not only helped launch the career of “Days of our Lives’” Robert Scott Wilson (Ben Rogers; ex-Pete Cortlandt, “All My Children”) but also decided to include “The Young and the Restless’” Melissa Ordway (Abby Newman) and Daniel Goddard (Cane Ashby) in this year’s search (which Soap Opera Network was the first to reveal), we decided to have executive producer Mike Richards come on down and give us the full scoop!
On Sunday, December 14, “The Young and the Restless'” Amelia Heinle (Victoria Newman), along with her new venture DearMarch.com, will be hosting a charity event for BelieveBig.org, a non-profit whose vision is to assist cancer patients and their families discover their pathway to healing. All money raised will be donated to BelieveBig.org in honor of Amelia’s sister, Jane, who is battling cancer. Joining Heinle will be former “Y&R” co-star and real-life husband, Thad Luckinbill (ex-J.T. Hellstrom), along with current co-stars Joshua Morrow (Nicholas Newman), Eric Braeden (Victor Newman), Melissa Claire Egan (Chelsea Newman) and Jess Walton (Jill Abbott), just to name a few.
Nearly two months after filming completed, singer Roxanna has released the full music video for her single, “Here with Me,” the highly anticipated prequel to 2012’s “Unforgotten.” Both music videos feature former “Days of our Lives” star James Scott (ex-EJ DiMera), who described his character as being “…a little bit more refined, more of a James Cagney type character.” He noted, “there is a real elegance and beauty to this story. It has a much more romantic sensibility, much more fantasy… It is less intense in terms of the overt physical dynamic between the two characters, but I think that the underplay of the relationship between the two is actually much, much more intense.”
According to published reports, CBS’ “The Young and the Restless” has let go Josh O’Connell, a longtime associate producer with the series. O’Connell, who began his career with the soap in various production positions in the mid-1990s, had been an associate producer at “Y&R” since 2003.
While Eileen Davidson (“Days of our Lives,” “The Young and the Restless”) won’t be appearing on the reality series until its third episode, Bravo’s “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” managed to snag its highest-rated season premiere in over three years, according to Nielsen Media Research ratings data, with 2 million total viewers tuning in, up 25 percent from the prior season premiere (11/4/13), on Tuesday, November 18. The renewed success of “Beverly Hills Housewives” follows the recent performance of “The Real Houseweives of Atlanta,” which premiered its seventh season on Sunday, November 9 and became the network’s highest-rated season premiere in Bravo history with over 4.5 million total viewers (based on L+3 ratings data) and 2.7 million Adults 18-49 (based on L+3 ratings data), up 26 percent and 27 percent respectively from the season six premiere.
