CBS Soaps Watch

Vincent Irizarry (David Chow) has reported on his Myspace page that he will soon be leaving The Young & the Restless. The handwriting was on wall that David Chow time might be up, since it looks like he had something to do with Ji Min Kim’s death. There is no word of Irizzary last air date on Y&R as of yet.

Tonight at 8:00 p.m. the Daytime Emmys will broadcast on ABC. Be sure to check it out. For those who have the cable station Soapnet, they will have a pre-Emmy show at 6:00 p.m.
Here is a clip of last year’s winners for best daytime drama:

Victoria Rowell (ex Dru on Y&R) recently announced her engagement to Atlanta artist Radcliffe Bailey. No wedding date has been set yet. Congratulations to the happy couple.

Look for singer Little Richard to guest star on The Young & the Restless on June 30th. He will be performing some of his music on the daytime soap.

Christopher Dunn, Lloyd Gold and Jill Lorie Hurst have been added as head writers to the daytime drama Guiding Light. They will joined current head writer David Kreizman. Guiding Light could you a boost to there writing, because some of the storylines lately haven’t been that interesting. Lets see if these new writers will bring some good storylines to the canvas.

Eva Marcille the winner of the third season of America’s Next Top Model is joining the cast of The Young & the Restless. She will play a young mother on the daytime soap.

Eileen Davidson (Ashley) will be returning to The Young & the Restless on June 19th and 20th. It is always good to see the character of Ashley back at her old stomping grounds.

Robin Riker will be joining the cast of The Bold & the Beautiful as Beth Logan. Beth Logan is the mother of the Logan children. I think it is about time that Beth Logan showed up, since her son just recently passed away and her daughter Katie needed a heart transplant.

Hogan Sheffer will be joining the writing staff of The Young & the Restless as co-headwriter. Sheffer was recently the headwriter for Days of Our Lives. He also wrote for As the World Turns.

Soap Opera Weekly is reporting that Beth Ehlers (Harley on Guiding Light) is joining the cast of All My Children. Ehlers would be joining her former Guiding Light co-star Ricky Paull Goldin over at AMC. There was word that Ehlers might be recast as Liza Colby over at AMC, but she could also play another character. No word yet if Guiding Light plans to recast the role of Harley. This is another big lost for Guiding Light.

It is being reported that Canadian actress Jacqueline MacInnes Wood is joining the cast of The Bold & the Beautiful as Steffy Forrester. Steffy is Taylor and Ridge’s daughter and is the twin sister of Phoebe.

A few months ago I mention on this site that Brandon Beemer was rumored to be joining the cast of The Bold & the Beautiful, now Soap Opera Digest is reporting that Beemer is in fact joining the soap. Beemer is said to be joining the cast as a new character.

Congrats to all the nominees.

Texas Battle is said to be joining the cast of The Bold & the Beautiful. The spoilers are saying that he will be connected to Donna Logan. B&B could use some more diversity in its cast, so I hope that Battle’s character can actually have a good storyline.
