General Hospital

Over at General Hospital, Heather Mazur has been playing Deputy Mayor Eileen Ashby. The duplicitous soap opera character is an associate of mayor Laura Collins (Genie Francis) and co-conspirator of Victor Cassadine (Charles Shaughnessy).

Another child actor has been replaced. Scarlett Fernandez is out as Valentin Cassadine’s (James Patrick Stuart) daughter, Charlotte Cassadine, a role she’s played since 2016. Daytime newcomer Amelie McClain has taken over the part on the soap opera. McClain’s credits include the 2020 horror film Transference.

The Bold and the Beautiful

On The Bold and the Beautiful, there’s a new staff member at Il Giardino. Abdur Wyatt begins airing as the establishment’s newest bartender on Wednesday, December 29.

The Young and the Restless

Hunter King popped back in as Summer Newman Abbott via a phone call with her TV father Nick Newman (Joshua Morrow) on The Young and the Restless, last week. Meanwhile, Nick mentioned flying to Italy to see his daughter and her husband. Does that mean the show is planning another appearance by King and perhaps even Michael Mealor (Kyle), this week? Stay tuned…
