New 'Battle of the Network Stars' Premieres June 29 on ABC, Stars Include Deidre Hall, Donna Mills, Ryan Paevey

In an ode to Wide World of Sports, 100 TV stars from 14 different network and cable companies will take their athleticism to a new level as they compete - to feel "the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat" - in the revival of Battle of the Network Stars, based on the '70s and '80s television pop-culture classic, premiering on Thursday, June 29 at 9 p.m. ET/PT) on ABC. The new Battle of the Network Stars will be a nostalgic throwback to the original series, where TV celebrities blended athleticism with hilarious antics while featuring an array of fan favorites from numerous TV series like Pretty Little Liars, Scandal, Melrose Place, Beverly Hills, 90210, How to Get Away with Murder, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, The West Wing, Dallas, and many more. You'll also find a number of current and former daytime and primetime soap opera stars on the various teams.

The original series from ABC Sports began in 1976 and continued for 13 years. The 10-episode summer event will pit teams of current and classic TV stars from multiple eras and different genres against one another in a variety of athletic games. Viewers can look forward to seeing a fresh take at some of the classic show's sporting events like Tug of War, Archery, Kayak Relay, Obstacle Course and Dunk Tank - all from the site of the original series, the beautiful campus of Pepperdine University in Malibu, California.

For this new version, fielding of the teams will be based on the TV characters people love from over the years to the current day - cops vs. TV sitcoms, White House vs. lawyers, TV moms & dads vs. TV kids, etc. In this way, viewers will get to see everyone's favorites from over the years, even if they spanned different networks at the time.

E!'s upcoming drmama series, The Arrangement, is slated to premiere on Sunday, March 5 at 10 p.m. ET/PT. The one-hour series from Universal Cable Productions and Emmy Award-Winning writer/EP Jonathan Abrahams stars Josh Henderson (Dallas), Christine Evangelista (Chicago Fire), Lexa Doig (Continuum) and Michael Vartan (Alias). The 10-part sophisticated drama is a multi-layered sexy Hollywood love story about the darker side of celebrity. This complicated, romantic thriller takes viewers beyond the glamour and lights of the red carpet to reveal a side of Hollywood that has never been seen before.

When actress Megan Morrison (Evangelista) auditions for the role of a lifetime, she also lands a Cinderella-esque date with A-list movie star Kyle West (Henderson). But things get complicated when Megan is offered a 10 million dollar marriage contract and is introduced to Kyle's secretive self-help organization, The Institute of the Higher Mind. While Megan has a mysterious past she is trying to keep hidden, Kyle has secrets of his own.

Terence (Vartan) runs The Institute of the Higher Mind, a burgeoning self-help organization with a retreat-like campus in Malibu. Kyle credits both Terence and The Institute for his success. In addition to being Kyle's best friend and closest confidante, Terence also helps manage his career, as his wife, DeAnn (Doig), is Kyle's producing partner. Terence, whose motives are often unclear, created this contract to "protect" Kyle.

In a town where fame means everything, Megan must decide how far she's willing to go to launch her career. This arrangement may be much more than everyone bargained for. She dives head first into the glamorous celebrity lifestyle with Terence growing rapidly concerned about her influence over Kyle. She is far more unpredictable than Terence and DeAnn could ever have imagined.

NEWS: Teresa Castillo Pregnant! Plus, Anthony Geary, Brad Maule, Josh Henderson, Blake Berris

Teresa Castillo with her husband and daughter.

General Hospital star Teresa Castillo pregnant with second child
Castillo, who plays Sabrina Santiago on GH, tweeted the news on Monday morning along with a family photo: "Someone's getting a little brother...👶💙"

Anthony Geary reflects on his career at General Hospital
"Genie was only 17 at the time, and I was 32," Geary said. "They had Luke become obsessed with her, which led to the rape, which was then romanticized to my great regret through the years. Ironically, the audience had as much sympathy for the rapist as they did for the victim, which nobody quite understood. I certainly didn't. After that, Luke became more of a focal point."

Brad Maule on his General Hospital days and new life as acting teacher
On why he was let go from GH: "You never really understand the mechanics of it all. But if you were over 30 and had been on the show for awhile they began to use you less and less. Also, when a new producer comes in, they try and put their stamp on things by getting rid of the old regime. It’s the same everywhere. But I’m happy to say I survived eight producers."

On Anthony Geary, whose final episode of GH airs today: "Tony is a wonderful guy. He never fell for the hype of being the most famous soap opera actor. He burns hot and loves his work and has a passion for it."

Each member of the family struggles to understand what's happened, including John Ross, whose two-timing behavior may have finally caught up with him after Pamela discovered him with another woman. To make matters worse, that other woman is Emma Ryland (Emma Bell), the daughter of Bobby's wife, Ann (Brenda Strong).

Christopher continues to reel after his engagement to Elena Ramos (Jordana Brewster) fell through, and the search for his mother ended with news that she died in 1989. He has found some comfort in a new relationship with Heather (AnnaLynne McCord), a 20-something ranch hand and single mother.
