Guest starring on CBS’ sitcom, “Two and a Half Men” has paid off for former “General Hospital” beauty Amber Tamblyn (ex-Emily Quartermaine): She’s now been upped to series regular on the comedy that also stars Ashton Kutcher and Jon Cryer!

The Young and the Restless

Adam and Chelsea’s baby drama is just not heating up on “The Young and the Restless,” but that hasn’t stopped Chelsea’s portrayer, Melissa Claire Egan, from pulling double duty as of late: The actress just landed a guest-starring gig on CBS’s new comedy, “We Are Men!”

“One Life to Live’s” Kelley Missal (Danielle Manning) may have had to say goodbye to Llanview, but that doesn’t mean it’s the end of her television days. In fact, you can catch the actress in a new role as early as next month!

With a resume that includes “High School Musical” and several other dancing performances, it’s no secret that “One Life to Live’s” Corbin Bleu (Jeffrey King) knows how to get down and boogie. But the actor went the extra mile on last night’s episode of “Dancing with the Stars,” performing a contemporary number with partner Karina Smirnoff that impressed America — and the judges!

Ladies and gentlemen, prepare yourself for one of the strangest performances yet from “General Hospital” alum James Franco (ex-Franco)! The California native is appearing on tonight’s premiere episode of Fox’s ‘The Mindy Project,’ and star Mindy Kaling herself describes his performance as “the weirdest, funniest version of himself.”

On the heels of ABC Family giving “Twisted” a back-order pick-up with all new episodes scheduled to premiere in January 2014, comes word that former “All My Children” and “General Hospital” head writer, Charles Pratt, Jr., has been named executive producer and a writer of those upcoming episodes of the hit series. Pratt created and wrote for the recently canceled”The Lying Game.”

Two weeks since canceling “The Lying Game,” and a week after canceling “Bunheads,” ABC Family has announced it has ordered a third season of “Switched at Birth” and has given both “Twisted” and “The Fosters” back-order pick-ups. The new episodes will all premiere alongside “Pretty Little Liars” in January 2014, it was announced today by Michael Riley, President, ABC Family.

CBS has renewed “Under the Dome,” the summers most watched series in viewers and key sales demos, for a second season. Based on the Stephen King novel of the same name, “Dome” follows a small town suddenly sealed off from the rest of the world by an enormous transparent dome. The citizens must now deal with ways to survive amid post-apocalyptic conditions, while seeking to find answers to what the dome is and why they’re all stuck in it and when they might get out (not likely anytime soon with the renewal).

CBS has released a breakdown of how its top shows left off with their season finales in May and what viewers can expect when their new seasons premiere in the fall. “It may only be July, but it’s never too early to get caught up on where CBS series left off last May. And there’s no time like the present for a sneak peek at some surprises and guest stars coming in the fall,” reads the network press release.
