Heather Tom, formerly Victoria Newman of The Young and the Restless, is coming to The Bold and the Beautiful as Katie Logan. Look for Storm, Brooke and Donna's baby sis to make her debut next month (Aug. 2007). Insiders say that she has inked a 6-month contract, but hopefully, everyone involved will decide to make it long term.
Real-life husband and wife Justin Bruening and Alexa Havins will vacate their roles, Jamie and Babe, when their contracts are up with All My Children. No word yet on whether either of the roles will be recast. Also leaving Pine Valley is Kelli Giddish, who plays Di.
Returning to The Young and the Restless for the Aug. 17 episode will be Billy Warlock, who plays Ben, Jack's former campaign manager.
On Passions, John Reilly will appear once more as the evil Alistair Crane on Aug. 20.
And finally, Hunt Block (ex-Craig, As the World Turns) is coming back to daytime in the form of an FBI agent on One Life to Live. His character has yet to be named, and we don't know exactly what part he will play in the lives of the Llanview folk. But, yay! Hunt is back!

Hey all you One Life to Live fans: Don't forget, this week and next there will be plenty of excitement. In celebration of the show's 10,000th episode, there will be mention of the number 10,000 in every show between July 30 and Aug. 10, as well as temporary homecoming of many fan-favorite characters.
James DePaiva (Max Holden), Nathan Fillion (Joey Buchanan), Dan Gauthier (Kevin Buchanan), John Loprieno (Cord Roberts) and Tonja Walker (Alex Olanov) all will be reprising their roles as they come back to Llanview to celebrate the life of patriarch Asa Buchanan (Phil Carey), who was killed off earlier this year. As many of you know, contract talks failed to resolve the differences between what the show wanted from Carey and what Carey wanted from the show. OLTL honchos wanted the character of Asa to be downgraded to recurring and Carey wanted to remain a contract player. The show refused, so Carey left. His last appearance was on April 26, 2007.
OLTL will officially hit the 10,000 mark on Friday, Aug. 17.
I interviewed Don Diamont (Brad, The Young and the Restless) yesterday for an upcoming column, and the subject got onto YouTube and how they have a plethora of scenes from YR from way back when. I mentioned that I had stumbled upon one of the scenes from when Brad's crazy ex-wife, Lisa, kidnapped him and locked him in a cage.
I told him how funny those were to watch and asked if they were laughing and having fun with it while they were filming. Here was his reply:
“Those days were not fun. The actress who played Lisa was about as nutty as her character. It was not a pleasant working experience at all. I didn’t really speak to her.”
Damn, huh? Thank goodness he got out of that cage and she ran away. I told him, "I guess that answers my next question about whether it would be fun to bring the character of Lisa back, since she got away without a trace and without punishment."
His answer, of course was a solid: "NO!"
Here is a link to one of those scenes, if you'd like to take a walk down memory lane:
... if only for a little while. Fan favorite Tom Pelphrey, who plays Jonathan on Guiding Light, will be back for a three-episode story arc. His airdates are scheduled for July 31 through Aug. 2. I won't say why he's back, but he will get to see his mom, Reva (Kim Zimmer).

The contest is finally here, folks. One lucky winner will receive two tickets to a taping of the "Rachael Ray" show. The show has a waiting list of almost two years, however, we have tickets to give away to our faithful readers. We hope you watched yesterday's episode of the "Rachael Ray" show, featuring Susan Lucci of All My Children. Here is the question:
While Susan is discussing being a grandmother, she says she wants her nickname to be "Grandie." What name does Rachael suggest that Susan's grandchildren call her by?
