Allegations, slander, and top execs speaking out… Here’s what you missed the last seven days with the Soap Hub Weekly News Brief.

Accusations and Slander
Bigwigs at The Young and the Restless have come under fire for being difficult and verbally abusive, according to Highlight Hollywood.

General Hospital’s Matt Cohen (Griffin) and Billy Miller (Drew) found themselves the victims of social media slander.

GH Pre-emption
ABC network executive Nathan Varni explained why GH was pre-empted for three days. The move, however, allowed for a repeat airing of some poignant episodes.

Look Who’s Missing
Christie Clark explained why Carrie didn’t attend John and Marlena’s nuptials. And speaking of that wedding, it totally paid homage to DAYS’ history.

GH alum Chloe Lanier took to Twitter to explain what Nelle’s been up to behind bars.

Y&R Moves
Writer Josh Griffith is back at the soap in a new position. And EP and head writer Mal Young addressed Christel Khalil’s (Lily) decision to go off contract.

Casting 1, 2, 3
Y&R’s Rosales family is expanding. Find out who’s joining the clan.

Plus, it looks like Hunter Tylo (Taylor) is staying put at The Bold and the Beautiful.

What’s Happening?
Daniel Goddard’s (Cane, Y&R) real life came face-to-face with his reel life at a TV Academy event.

Emme Rylan (Lulu) had surgery for a nose break and posted a hilarious recovery pic on Instagram.

Eric Braden (Victor, Y&R) tweeted a video of himself listening to a special Aretha Franklin song.

Max Ehrich (Fenmore, Y&R) discussed his personal experience with bullying.

Branching Out
Days of Our Lives’ Billy Flynn (Chad) is teaming with Tyson Sullivan (Banshee, Quarry) on a feature film, while Jen Lilley (ex-Theresa) has Christmas plans — at Hallmark.

Natalia Livingston (ex-Emily, GH) is producing a flick on an interesting subject, and Jacob Young (Rick, B&B) has launched a new web venture.

Kelly Kruger (Mac, Y&R) and Ryan Paevey (ex-Nathan, GH) shared pix from their on-location film in Canada.

Happy Birthday
To two Y&R stars — Marla Adams (Dina) and Daniel Goddard (Cane).
