“She has her own style. She has her own sense of order. She has her own gun. Justice is sweet,” reads the tag from the newly released film, “Miss Meadows,” starring actress Katie Holmes (“Dawson’s Creek”) as a substitute teacher who on the surface is well mannered and full of grace, but secretly takes matters into her own hands when life appears out of control and no one else is around to make things right. “The Young and the Restless'” Kate Linder (Esther Valentine) co-stars in the film as Principal Trudy Navis.

When former “Days of our Lives” star Peter Reckell (ex-Bo Brady) tweeted several weeks back about a possible return to the daytime drama series, his comments not only grabbed the attention of his fans and the soap press, but his former on screen love interest, Kristian Alfonso (Hope Brady), as well. In an interview with the actress, Alfonso provides Soap Opera Network with insight on why Hope doesn’t need anyone’s permission to move on with her life, how the relationship between Aiden Jennings (Daniel Cosgrove) and Hope is a new, but sweet kind of love, and why she was surprised Reckell said what he did on social media.

While previously just a rumor, a rep for “General Hospital” confirms to Soap Opera Network that actor Brandon Barash will once again reprise the role of Johnny Zaccara on the daytime drama series. While a first airdate, nor what brings the character back to the canvas, is known at this time, we’re sure that any return of the bad boy to the soap will result in some much desired drama for several characters.
