In a posting last week on its Facebook page, shortly after word that the Supreme Court of the United States had found the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) unconstitutional, the NOH8 campaign displayed a photo compilation of “Days of our Lives” cast members posing in support of the charitable organization whose mission is “to promote marriage, gender and human equality through education, advocacy, social media, and visual protest.” The photo included actors Blake Berris, Eileen Davidson, Greg Vaughan, Kristian Alfonso, Bill Hayes, Lauren Koslow, Deidre Hall, Suzanne Rogers, Freddie Smith, Joseph Mascolo, Nathan Owens, Kate Mansi and Galen Gering, among others.

So by now you may or may not know that same-day airings of CBS’ “The Young and the Restless” are now available on TVGN after just over seven years on SOAPnet. To keep you up-to-date with the soaps transition, we thought it best to provide new and old viewers with some tidbits on TVGN and “Y&R’s” move to its new home.

What would a summer on “General Hospital” be like if not for a triangle involving two women wanting a piece of Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard)? Have no fear, SOAPnet has released a promo covering the upcoming summer adventures of the mafioso, his two women (Olivia and Connie), his family (Michael and Morgan) and his business.

In addition to the SOAPnet promo highlighting “General Hospital” and “Days of our Lives” airtimes, the cable network has released a promo touting that “Everyone’s Dark Side Will Be Exposed in the Light of DAYS.”

“There’s now more times to watch your two favorite soaps on SOAPnet,” is part of the lyrics used in a new SOAPnet promo highlighting additional airings of both “General Hospital” and “Days of our Lives,” with the former taking over the 7:00 PM ET/PT timeslot previously occupied by “The Young and the Restless,” which, as numerously reported, officially makes its move to TVGN beginning today, July 1. “GH” will continue airing at 9:00 PM ET/PT with “DAYS” airing at 8:00 PM ET/PT and 10:00 PM ET/PT.

During the week of July 1-5, 2013, Kambra Clifford, Soap Opera Network’s West Coast Editor, will be taking a much deserved vacation and will not be responding to emails or phone calls. Please email any news, notes, tidbits or tips to [email protected] while she’s away.

“The Young and the Restless” heads to TVGN after spending seven years on SOAPnet. Watch a new promo featuring Kristoff St. John and Angell Conwell.

Hot on the heels of word breaking that Kelly Sullivan (Kate Howard/Connie Falconeri) would be departing ABC’s “General Hospital” in the near future as a result of her character being written off canvas, the newest issue of Soap Opera Digest reveals that co-star Lisa LoCicero (Olivia Falconeri) has renewed her contract with the daytime soap. Ironically, the two portray cousins on “GH.”

If you haven’t tuned in to see “All My Children’s” Susan Lucci (ex-Erika Kane) on her new series, “Devious Maids,” then now might be the perfect time: She and her fellow castmates will be tweeting with fans during this Sunday’s broadcast!

As a result of OWN picking up the cable rights to the first 40 episodes of “All My Children” and “One Life to Live,” many wanted to know what that meant for “MORE,” the series that gives fans just that at the end of each week, or on Mondays now that it, along with “AMC” and “OLTL” will release new episodes Netflix style beginning Monday, July 1. Soap Opera Network has the answer.
