CBS Daytime is celebrating Thanksgiving early with a buffet of holiday-themed episodes of all of its daytime shows, including “The Bold and the Beautiful” and “The Young and the Restless,” which will air on Wednesday, November 26.

Even though her real life son is no longer on the show, Betsy Franco (mom of actor James Franco) is returning to “General Hospital!”

It looks like the curtain is closing for TV Land’s classic comedy, “Hot In Cleveland.” The network is pulling the plug on the series once it wraps its sixth season.

With the return of Kristen DiMera on NBC’s “Days of our Lives” next year, following the return of Eileen Davidson to the set on Friday, November 14, Soap Opera Network has your first look at the actress in scenes set to air in 2015. While details of her return are scarce, we can’t help but wonder who Kristen will be interacting with when she opens the DiMera doors.

While she’s currently under contract with CBS’ “The Young and the Restless” as Ashley Abbott, Eileen Davidson is set to once again reprise her role of Kristen DiMera on NBC’s “Days of our Lives” next year, reports Access Hollywood, which has an exclusive first look at Davidson in the DiMera mansion while filming scenes this past Friday, November 14. Davidson is slated to begin airing in the spring of 2015, based on the current filming schedule of the daytime drama series, Soap Opera Network has learned.

“The Young and the Restless’” Daniel Goddard (Cane Ashby) and Melissa Ordway (Abby Newman) already have quite the dream gig, both being stars of daytime’s most-watched drama series. But the pair was recently given an opportunity of Showcase Showdown proportions: They were asked to participate in “The Price Is Right’s” recent national male model search, for which they not only filmed soap opera scenes with the contestants, but also helped narrow down the final five hotties to the final three that America will have the chance to vote on!
