FIRST LOOK: The Men and Women of the Nurses Ball

As we get closer to daytime’s biggest night, taking place on Sunday, May 1, the industry is abuzz today over which actors were submitted for a pre-nomination for the “The 43rd Annual Daytime Emmy Awards,” presented by The National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences (NATAS). With at least two actors per show for each category (exception being Supporting Actress) several of daytime television’s biggest and brightest stars are looking to vie for the coveted trophy that celebrates their hard work during calendar year 2015.

What’s better than one “General Hospital” villain in an upcoming Hulu drama? How about two of them? Constance Towers (ex-Helena Cassadine) is teaming up with James Franco (ex-Franco) in JFK mini-series “11.22.63,” which begins streaming on Netflix on Monday, February 15 — Presidents Day.

On Sunday, May 3, “General Hospital” star Tyler Christopher (Nikolas Cassadine) welcomed his second child with wife, Brienne. The actor shared the news on Twitter via a tweet stating “7lb 11oz! Finally here! #Greatful #expandingfamily.”

Remember in 1998 when Carly (then played by Sarah Brown) stepped away from Michael’s stroller for the tiniest of moments which led to his kidnapping by the hands of Tony Jones, who previously was led to believe Michael was his before Carly proclaimed the child to have been fathered by Jason? Fast forward to 2015, we find Sonny (Maurice Benard), seemingly in the Tony role, being kept away from his child by an all grown up Michael (Chad Duell), who tells his adopted father, “Step away from the stroller now” in this week’s promo for ABC’s “General Hospital.”

The wait is almost over for the premiere of the new ABC.com original series, “GH Now,” hosted by “General Hospital’s” Nancy Lee Grahn (Alexis Davis). The series, which brings fans closer to their favorite Port Charles denizens than ever before, is set to premiere on ABC.com and the WATCH ABC app on Monday, January 12 with the first three of six episodes, reports TVLine.

It’s “General Hospital” like you’ve never seen before when Nancy Lee Grahn, who plays Alexis Davis on the soap, takes viewers behind the scenes of daytime’s most dynamic soap opera via her new ABC.com series, “General Hospital Now,” which the actress had been teasing on social media for several weeks.

As previously reported, Brandon Barash is reprising the role of Johnny Zacchara on ABC’s “General Hospital” and it looks like he’s set to mark his return this week when Johnny comes face to face with Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard), at least that’s how it appears in the promo for this week’s worth of episodes. “Wait. What? Johnny’s back this week?!” tweeted Barash shortly after the promo was released.

“General Hospital’s” Tyler Christopher (Nikolas Cassadine) is about to experience a family expansion: His wife, Brienne Pedigo, is pregnant with their second child!

The red carpet for the 41st Annual Daytime Emmy Awards was filled with the sexy men of soap operas, including “General Hospital’s” Tyler Christopher (Nikolas Cassadine), who wore a custom made creation for the night’s event.
