CBS Soaps Watch

Due to the Thanksgiving Holiday coming up there will be preemptions to all of the soap operas on CBS. The Young & the Restless, The Bold & the Beautiful, As The World Turns, and Guiding Light will all be preempted on Thursday November 27th. On Friday November 28th The Bold & the Beautiful, As the World Turns, and Guiding Light will be preempted. The Young & the Restless will air a classic episode that day.

Have a happy Thanksgiving.

David Andrew MacDonald (Edmund) will be returning to Guiding Light. Last we saw of Edmund he was in a coma after taking a fall because of Will. I don’t have the airdate as to when MacDonald will be back on our TV screens.

Yani Gellman will be joining the Cast of The Young & the Restless as Rafe Torres on November 26th. He will be playing an attorney.

This week’s clip comes from The Young & the Restless. This is a clip of Nina confronting her husband David Kimble on all of the lies that he had been telling her. This week after seeing Tricia Cast (Nina) back as Nina for “Catherine’s Furneral”, I wish that she would return to the show on a regular basis.

Word is that Guiding Light has recast the role of Leah. Leah is Rick and Mel daughter. The role will now be played by Tyra Collar. You should be seeing the new Leah when the Boudreau family have their Thanksgiving get together. The role was formally played by Arielle Renwart.

This week’s clip comes from The Bold & the Beautiful. It is a clip of Caroline and Brooke discussing Caroline divorcing Thorne.

Jennifer Roszell (Eleni) will make a return to Guiding Light on December 4th. Eleni in Marina’s mother and ex-wife to Frank.

The Young & the Restless has decided it will recast the role of Eden. Erin Sanders has been let go, and Vanessa Mareno will take over the role of Eden. Mareno is best known for her role as April Nardini on the show Gilmore Girls. I have not heard the exact start date as to when Mareno will take over the role.

It is being reported that Grant Aleksander will be returning to Guiding Light as Phillip Spaulding in January of 2009. No word if this will be a long term return. It will be great to see Phillip back on the canvas.

This week’s clip comes from Guiding Light. It is a clip of Ross and Blake’s second marriage.
