There are rumors going on in the different soap publications that Jennifer Landon (Gwen) and Jesse Soffer may be leaving As the World Turns before spring. Right now nothing has been confirm, but stay tuned.

Christopher Goutman, who is a director for As the World Turns was recently nominated for a Director’s Guild Award. This is Goutman third nomination in this category. He also has won several Daytime Emmy Awards for directing.

It has been reported that Grayson McCouch (Dusty Donovan) will be exiting As the World Turns soon. McCouch as been with the soap since 2003 and earn an Outstanding Supporting Actors Daytime Emmy nominations in 2006 for his portrayal of Dusty.

This is just a reminder that on New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day there will be no new soap opera episodes on CBS. All the soaps will be returning Wednesday, January 2nd. On New Year’s Eve The Young & the Restless will be showing the episode where Cassie’s ghost returns to see Nick. The Bold & the Beautiful will also be showing a repeat episode. As the World Turns and Guiding Light will be pre-empted. All the shows will be pre-empted on New Year’s Day. Have a happy New Year.

A few weeks ago the Writer’s Guild announce their nominations for best writing on television. The daytime shows that were nominated were All My Children, As the World Turns, General Hospital, and The Young & the Restless.

After recently returning to As the World Turns in July as Rosanna, Cady McClain will soon be leaving the soap once again. She has stated in the past that her return to the soap would most likely be brief. She will probably be leaving early next year. McClain is also well known for playing the role of Dixie on the soap opera All My Children.

For those of you who are unable to catch your favorite CBS soap operas doing the day due to work, school, or other activities, now there are multiple ways to catch a missed episodes. There always the VCR or TIVO, but now you can also catch The Young & the Restless, As the World Turns, and Guiding Light with same day episodes on CBS.com. They don’t have The Bold & the Beautiful on there yet. Usually you can watch same day episodes around 6 p.m. or 7 p.m. eastern standard time. Some days the site works great, but at other times the site does a lot of buffing and sometimes it skips over certain parts of the show. Hopefully, in the future CBS.com will work on this problem. You can also catch episodes on MSN.com, though they may be a day later. They also don’t carry The Bold & the Beautiful, but there is always Youtube to catch good clips of that soap.

Paul and Rosanna showed up at Fairwinds and kicked Craig and Meg out on their butts. It so happens that Fairwinds is still in Rosanna’s name so they are taking the Montgomerys to the cleaners. Meg tells Rosanna how Paul fell because he wouldn’t take Craig’s hand and how they were in love and going to be married. She tells her how Craig was there for her through it all. This must have gotten her thinking because when they got to their new room at the Lakeview she told him that she wanted to be his wife in EVERY WAY and she got naked. That’s right: naked. Bow chicka wow, WOW.
Will showed up at home and Gwen told him about loosing the baby. Then, to make matters worse, the doctor called and told Gwen that her getting pregnant this time was a fluke and there’s no chance of it happening again. She cried and cried. It was horrible. I’m so sad for Gwen and I’m sort of pissed at the writers. They better bring her something good and fast!

Paul and Rosanna, Fairwinds, Craig and Meg, she got naked, Will, Gwen told him about loosing the baby, fluke

I am so upset about today’s episode. I didn’t think the writer’s would ever do it to us, but they have: Gwen had a miscarriage. Allison was with her and called Susan over to help. She thanked Ali for her support, but she doesn’t want to call Will to let him know.
Also, Paul and Meg came face to face today. Meg fainted flat out. Craig helped her to regain conciousness, but then she saw Paul and Rosanna and stood stunned. Paul was cold to her and referred to her as “Craig’s wife.” Rosanna saw how she looked at Paul and knew that there was something more between them. Wonder what will happen next!
And, I can’t forget, Dusty was found with a dead Cheri and Margo hauled him down to the station for questioning then informed him that he was, infact, a suspect.

Gwen had a miscarriage, Allison, Susan, Paul and Meg, Meg fainted, Paul and Rosanna, Dusty, dead Cheri, suspect

Gwen and Cole came face to face today, when Sofie set up a meeting between the two so that Gwen could help Cole in the music biz. She can’t believe he is standing in front of her. It turns out that he left her alone with Iris when she was only ten years old. He wouldn’t return her phone calls or help her in any way and she is furious with him. She also suspects that he is just trying to use her. Cole is angry with Sofie for setting him up like this.
Rosanna asks Paul how long she’s been “gone” and he tells her its been two years. He fills her in on Jennifer’s death, Johnny living with Lucy, and Craig’s prison stay for running her off the road. She wants to return to Oakdale.
Meg and Craig bring food to Carly’s house and Carly tears into Craig for his past. She brings up the subject of Rosanna and Meg helps jack with his injuries.

Today on As The World Turns we saw the return of the dangerous Dusty. He confronted Cheri about the internet video to which Cheri replied, “There’s nothing you can do to me that hasn’t already been done.” Dusty decalred, “You’re wrong about that. DEAD wrong!” Watch out Cheri, you’re about to get what’s coming to you. I think everyone loves to see this side of Dusty. He kicks but and doesn’t bother with the names.
Jack and Carly returned home with J.J. to find Sage and Parker happily greeting them. Jack talked to Katie alone, who told him she was going to Hawaii on business and she’d be back in a few days. He professed his love for her, which I’m not really buying anymore, and they agreed to set a wedding date when she returns. Having overheard their conversation, Brad tells Katie that leaving was the stupidest thing she could do and leaving Carly alone with Jack was a bad move. She gives Brad a long speech about being in an adult relationship and making a decision to be faithful and trust each other. Then their hands touch and they have a moment. It appears to be a moment of temptation for Katie as Brad looks at her with love and desire. She takes her hand back and walks away. The more I see the two of them together the more it feels right for them to be together. Katie and Jack just don’t spark as much as she does with Brad. And I can see the sparks fly with Carly and Jack more than they have in a very long time.
Jack goes to see the kids and tells them that Katie will be gone, so he will be spending a few days with them. They beg him to stay their at Carly’s house and he agrees to stay on the couch. Carly looks very hopeful for what the next few days may bring.
