When an astounding General Hospital trailer was accidentally released ahead of schedule last week, the internet was practically on fire over it.

Last April, Soap Hub asked a question: What happened to Elena Dawson on The Young and the Restless? At one point during the character’s existence, she was involved with Devon and then Nate, but both relationships fizzled. She also worked hard at the hospital and was a budding doctor influencer. It’s November 2024, and the character hasn’t appeared in a single episode this year. But that’s about to change. Last month, Brytni Sarpy dropped big news on Y&r fans. She and Dr. Elena Dawson are about to return to the show.

Welcome Back, Dr. Dawson!

It’s a good bet that Elena’s return to Genoa City is imminent. After all, Sarpy checked in with fans (on her Ig story) from the Y&r studio back on October 1. It’s mid-November, which means six weeks have passed, and that’s enough time for her scenes to go from set to screen.

General Hospital (Gh) spoilers note that the debut of John Brennan, played by actor Charles Mesure, on December 1, 2023, created quite a stir from fans online.

He was handsome, intriguing, charming, and seemed to have chemistry with Carly Spencer (Laura Wright).

The way he entered the canvas hinted he’d be sticking around for a little while, which is why viewers were more than shocked when his storyline was quickly, and almost abruptly, brought to a halt. Could he ever return?

Gh Spoilers: There’s Been Some Clues …

Gh spoilers suggest that during the short time Brennan was in Port Charles, he created quite an impact. Many fans are excited to see him come back as he was a very interesting character, to say the least, and wasn’t given the full opportunity for his story to be told.

Actress Laura Wright was recently interviewed by Soap Opera Digest (Sod), where...

On Wednesday, February 28 at 3:00 p.m. Et/noon Pt, “Days of our Lives” star Blake Berris will appear on the Michael Fairman Channel for a live chat with Michael Fairman of Michael Fairman TV to discuss the latest twist in his storyline.

As viewers saw on Monday’s episode, the results came in from Everett’s Cat scan, which showed he had suffered from a traumatic brain injury, giving credence to his not remembering being Jada’s (Elia Cantu) husband, Bobby Stein. Of course, that doesn’t mean he couldn’t have gotten his memories back at some point.

To explain the storyline and what’s next, Berris will appear alongside Fairman to discuss “Days of our Lives” and other projects he’s working on live on Wednesday, February 28. Fans are encouraged to submit questions and share thoughts on the storyline in the live chat during the interview.

Amanda Davies, the daughter of One Life to Live star Erika Slezak who famously portrayed a younger version of her mom’s iconic character on the long-running soap, died suddenly this week. She was 42.

“It is with great sadness that I share the news of the passing of Erika’s daughter, Amanda Elizabeth Davies, who died very suddenly,” reads a statement on Slezak’s official fan site. “The family is heartbroken and would appreciate privacy at this time.”

The date and cause of Davies’ death is unknown at this time. Slezak’s talent agent confirmed the news to The Hollywood Reporter on Tuesday morning.

Davies is best known to fans of ABC’s One Life to Live, which premiered in 1968 and wrapped in 2012, as the younger version of matriarch Victoria “Viki” Lord. She appeared on the daytime staple in 2002 during flashback scenes, credited as “Young Viki.” This was Davies’ main foray into acting,...

Amanda Davies, the daughter of Erica Slezak who played the teenager version of her mom’s character on ABC’s One Life to Live, has died. She was 42.

Davies’ death was revealed on Slezak’s fan page, but it offered no details.

“It is with great sadness that I share the news of the passing of Erika’s daughter Amanda Elizabeth Davies who died very suddenly. The family is heartbroken and would appreciate privacy at this time.”

Who was The Pawn on Days of our Lives? That’s a question many fans are asking as a blast from the past keeps popping up on the hit Peacock show.

The Pawn has become one hot topic on Days since Konstantin (John Kapelos) was kidnapped by John (Drake Hogestyn) and Steve (Stephen Nichols).

During that incident, Konstantin saw something in John that reminded him this wasn’t the first time he met the Black Patch duo.

Since then, Konstantin has been dropping not-so-subtle hints to Steve about it, especially as Patch continues to try to force Konstantin away from Maggie (Suzanne Rogers).

Days of our Lives spoilers reveal Marlena (Deidre Hall) is worried about John, and she should be because his The Pawn problem isn’t going away.

This storyline is just starting, so it’s time for a refresher on The Pawn or, as many Days fans know,...
