With a new year on the horizon it’s inevitable that you’ll be seeing a multitude of best and worst lists covering every facet of the entertainment world, and soaps are no exception. In his Best and Worst of 2015 report, TV Guide‘s Michael Logan has named CBS’ “The Bold and the Beautiful” daytime’s best soap, praises “General Hospital” and “The Young and the Restless” for having the best actors and actresses, and calls out some of daytime’s current and former writers for insulting viewers with tawdry storylines lacking direction.

Port Charles is getting ready to celebrate the holiday season in style – and with a few surprises. Here’s a sneak peek at “General Hospital’s” upcoming Nutcracker Gala, airing in December.
Several daytime stars, including “Days of our Lives” actors Jen Lilley (Theresa Donovan) and Billy Flynn (Chad DiMera), “General Hospital” actors Ian Buchanan (Duke Lavery) and Finola Hughes (Anna Devane), along with former “DAYS” and “All My Children” actress Chrishell Stause, have banded together in a new Public Service Announcement (PSA) to help raise awareness to the Childhelp #FiveTooMany Campaign during National Child Abuse Prevention Month (April).
As it gears up to broadcast its first major awards telecast with the “42nd Annual Daytime Emmy Awards” on Sunday, April 26, Pop has released the Daytime Emmy Nominee Reels for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series. Competing this year for the coveted trophy are Linsey Godfrey as Caroline Spencer on “The Bold and the Beautiful,” Amelia Heinle as Victoria Newman and Elizabeth Hendrickson as Chloe Mitchell, respectively, on “The Young and the Restless,” and Finola Hughes as Anna Devane and Lisa LoCicero as Olivia Falconeri on “General Hospital.”
When news first hit the web in August 2012 of Duke Lavery being very much alive on ABC’s “General Hospital,” it not only became a trending topic in the United States on Twitter, but also worldwide. Nearly three years later, it looks like the character will be heading back to the grave as portrayer Ian Buchanan is said to have recently learned that the writers have plans to off the character once more. It would be a huge mistake on their part as it would defeat the entire purpose of resurrecting the character in the first place.
Just before the holiday break, actor Robb Derringer announced on social media that he will soon be departing ABC’s “General Hospital,” where he’s been portraying the recurring role of Special Agent Kyle Sloane opposite Finola Hughes (Anna Devane) since mid-November.

Beginning Thursday, May 8 and running through Tuesday, May 13, ABC’s “General Hospital” will present the 2014 Nurses Ball sponsored by Yoplait Greek Yogurt. ABC.com recently published photos on its website providing viewers with a sneak peek at the event as well as some behind the scenes shots.
