Bold Duo News

Denise Richards calls her role as The Bold and the Beautiful’s Shauna is one of her favorite jobs ever. Here’s why.

Hair’s the Thing

YR viewers have been commenting on Brytni Sarpy’s (Elena) stylish new hairdo, which she revealed was inspired by a very prominent and powerful woman. It’s none other than Vice President-Elect Kamala Harris.

Christmas Past

GH’s James Patrick Stuart (Valentin) posted a fabulous flashback photo with co-star Michael Knight from Christmas at the White House in 1990. The duo were invited by then-First Lady Barbara Bush and here’s why.

Stuart also shared some sad news with his social media followers. His father, Chad Stuart, who was part of the 1960s singing duo Chad and Jeremy, passed away at the age of 79.

DAYS’ Alison Sweeney took to Instagram to post a bloody photo from Sami’s traumatic past. Can you guess which storyline it was from?

Medical Updates

Another daytime star has tested positive for COVID-19. Shemar Moore, who now stars as Hondo Harrelson on primetime series S.W.A.T. and previously played Malcolm on Y&R, shared his diagnosis on Instagram.

Max Page, remembered as Victoria’s (Amelia Heinle) young son, Reed, on YR, underwent another heart surgery this month. The actor, who’s now a teenager, updated fans on his prognosis.

Real Andrews, who’d been temporarily away from the GH fold as Taggert, reported on his health status. And it’s good news from the cancer survivor.
