Former 'General Hospital' actor Rick Springfield gets star on Hollywood Walk Of Fame
Springfield now finds himself among other musical icons along the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Springfield received his Walk of Fame star along Hollywood Boulevard in front of the Live Nation building Friday. GH's Jason Thompson (Patrick) and Y&R's Doug Davidson (Paul) were among those in attendance.

The "Jessie's Girl" singer says he owes the fans for his career in show business. He said he walked along the Walk of Fame as a youngster and hoped to one day be successful enough to merit a star. He also dedicated his star in the memory of his father, who Springfield said unfortunately passed away just as Springfield's career was taking off.

CBS Remains The Broadcaster To Beat In An Ever-Changing Media Landscape
Ed Martin writes: "CBS has also experienced uncommon growth in daytime (especially with The Young and the Restless and The Talk)and remains a vital player (and one that continues to demand much attention) in late night. (In addition, it is entering the summer programming arena with great gusto, not by filling it with cheap reality shows and Canadian pick-ups, but by producing scripted series such as “Under the Dome” and “Extant” that are custom designed for escapist summer viewing."

Soap stars get Sapphic in web series 'Beacon Hill'
Alicia Minshew: "The difference is the budget for one. The TV studios have more money. However, I am proud of how high end and beautiful Beacon Hill looks! Another difference is that we are on location, which gives it more of a film feel instead of being in a studio like on TV. The pace is the same…QUICK!"

NEWS: REVENGE Graphic Novel, GAME OF THRONES Trailer, Why the Anthology Series is All the Rage

ABC's REVENGE soap opera spills into graphic novel
The graphic novel takes place years before Emily took the guise of a wealthy Hamptons socialite in the first Revenge episode, and the 19-year-old goes on her first mission in Switzerland after training under her Japanese sensei, Takeda.

"The parts of the history we're bursting to tell is the origin of the woman you see that shows up in the pilot, as differentiated from the girl who was thrown into (juvenile detention) when her dad was taken from her," says REVENGE executive producer Sunil Nayar.

Hardcover graphic novel "Revenge: The Secret Origin of Emily Thorne," is coming out Sept. 3 from Marvel Comics. The book is written by Erica Schultz and TV series scribe Ted Sullivan, with art by Vincenzo Balzano and Dustin Nguyen.

TRUE DETECTIVE, AMERICAN HORROR STORY and Why the Anthology Series is All the Rage
Anthologies tell shorter stories with set end points. Reality TV competitions may be able to crown a winner after a few months, but a narrative can't be as perfunctory with its arcs and twists. There's the hope among showrunners that the third act of a season can now be a more fully realized anchor of their vision than ever before. Shows canceled at the end of or middle of a season don't have this luxury, and we've all seen plot-heavy series that have had to keep their ultimate finale in sight but always at a distance. What if the end were to come quicker, and at a point everyone's aware of from the start?

Henri Esteve Joins REVENGE as Bad Boy Javier
