NEWS: Stephen Schnetzer, Justin Hartley, BethAnn Bonner, Andy Cohen, Jason Priestley, Aiden Turner

Would The Young and the Restless star Justin Hartley make a good new MacGyver?
Alan Carter thinks he would. "Not only does Hartley look a little like Richard Dean Anderson but he’s got the soap opera hunk thing down pat," he writes. CBS is reportedly re-booting the popular '80s series.

Stephen Schnetzer
Another World alum Stephen Schnetzer set for "Broken Glass" in Westport
Schnetzer will soon appear at the Westport Country Playhouse in Arthur Miller's play, "Broken Glass."

In between work on television and in the theatre, Schnetzer does voiceover work. "It's a good income stream so I could do develop my craft," he says. He even did commercials in French, including one for Kellogg's Frosted Flakes. "I enjoy that anonymity especially because some people know me from soap operas...I didn't want that facial recognition. It's the most competitive challenging part for performers because there are so many good voices and material out there. It's highly competitive. Sometimes I get lucky. I roll the dice. I get an income stream. It pays residuals. And its gets me out of the house."

Andy Cohen on his Real Housewives franchise: "I think the show has replaced the soap opera"
"You never know what’s going to happen, as unreal as it seems," Cohen says. "It’s sometimes fun to laugh at, other times to laugh with. Even though these women don’t behave like you or I might, there’s something weirdly relatable, about friendship and marriage and motherhood, that connects with people."

NEWS: B&B Puts Spotlight On Animal Rights; Daytime Emmys Irony; 'WWE Raw' Script; Jason Priestley Dishes in Memoir

'The Bold And The Beautiful' Puts Spotlight On Animal Rights And Rescue Heroes
Ed Martin writes: "Watching Scott Clifton and Kim Matula, the actors who play Liam and Hope, process what they were seeing in the shelter, it was clear at times from the expressions on their faces that they were not always acting. As it was for viewers at home, it was deeply upsetting to them to see firsthand that so many animals are in distress. It was also heartening to meet so many heroic and dedicated people who are working to help them."

Michelle Keegan shocked that 'Coronation Street' killed off Tin
Keegan told OK! Magazine, "I was a bit [surprised] at first. They told me they would leave the door open initially and a few months down the line, the producers said they'd done a storyline conference and the writers had pitched a really good leaving storyline for me."
