It was a wowza week in daytime. Jack returned to DAYS (although we only saw the back of his head), stars shared holiday greetings and songs, and a Y&R actress turned The Big 5-0. Here’s all the soap opera news you missed in the Soap Hub Weekly News Wrap.

Jack’s Back
Matthew Ashford (Jack) returned to Days of Our Lives on New Year’s Eve, and Kassie DePaiva (Eve) gave viewers the storyline scoop.

Holiday Greetings… and Songs
You absolutely won’t want to miss this fabulous video of the DAYS cast’s rendition of Jingle Bells.

Plus, Bill and Susan Seaforth Hayes (Doug and Julie) sent Camila Banus (Gabi) Christmas greetings.

Soap stars shared photos galore from their December 25th celebrations, and GH’s Max Gail (Mike) and Vernee Watson (Stella) wished fans the happiest of holidays.

Engaged for Christmas
No, it’s not the latest Lifetime movie title, but GH’s Elizabeth Hendrickson (Margaux) real life story…with pix.

Meanwhile, former co-star Drake Hogestyn (John) became a grandfather, again.
