- Lindsay Price and Josh Radnor Split: Lindsay Price and Josh Radnor, who began dating in August 2008, have called it quits, PEOPLE has confirmed. "They aren't together anymore," a source tells PEOPLE of the former Lipstick Jungle actress, 32, and the How I Met Your Mother actor, 35. Adds another source, "It was just time." The pair met in 2007 when Price appeared on How I Met Your Mother, but they didn't kick off their courtship for another 18 months. "We met up a year-and-a-half later in New York," Price told PEOPLE in June. "We went to have dinner near the Bowery. It went really well." At the time, Price said of Radnor, "He's very thoughtful, and he's very good at giving gifts."
- Molly Sims Defends Josh Duhamel: Molly Sims has a simple message when asked about her former Las Vegas costar Josh Duhamel's rumored infidelity: "Don't believe everything you read." "We e-mailed yesterday," she tells E!'s Daily 10 on Wednesday. "It's absolutely not true – and he's a great guy. I've worked with him for five years." Duhamel has vigorously defended himself against allegations by Nicole Forrester, a stripper in Atlanta, who said she had sex with Duhamel one night at the St. Regis Hotel. Forrester also sold her story to the National Enquirer for more than $20,000. Duhamel and wife Fergie's reps have denied the allegations. "This is not the first nor will it be the last time that a stripper was paid a large amount of money to sell a false story about a celebrity," Duhamel's rep said. "This story is absolutely ridiculous." According to Sims, Duhamel and Fergie are the victims of someone, "[who's] trying to make a lot of money." "Josh is a great guy," she says, "and it's sad 'cause his wife is amazing, too."
- AMC Rolls Out The Welcome Back Mat: As first reported by Soapnet.com, AMC has landed six beloved faces from Pine Valley's past to join Mark Consuelos and Kelly Ripa (ex-Mateo and Hayley) when AMC celebrates its 40th anniversary on January 4 and 5: Eva La Rue will reprise the role of Maria Santos; Eden Riegel will be back as Bianca Montgomery; Laurence Lau will return as Greg Nelson; Taylor Miller will slip back into Nina Cortlandt Warner's skin; and Leven Rambin will play Lily Montgomery once again (though hopefully not her identical half sis, Ava) — but we bet the news that will most please AMC fans is that Julia Barr (Brooke), the 30-year vet who left in 2006 after she was asked to go recurring, has agreed to come back as Brooke English.
- New View For AMC's Thorsten Kaye: This Friday, November 13, AMC star Thorsten Kaye (Zach) will serve as a guest co-host on ABC's THE VIEW on a special episode celebrating the birthday of one of the show's permanent hosts, Whoopi Goldberg, who is a close pal of Kaye's. Set your DVRs to catch Kaye's trademark wit live and uncensored!
- Sarah Michelle Gellar: Motherhood Was Worth the Wait: Sarah Michelle Gellar, adored as the star of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and her husband, Freddie Prinze Jr., know what everyone has been thinking: What took so long? "I always say, the minute you start dating someone, people ask, 'When are you getting engaged?' And the minute you get engaged, they ask, 'When are you getting married?' " a bemused Gellar tells PEOPLE. "And then the minute you get married, they ask, 'When are you having a baby?' " Gellar, 32, and Prinze Jr., 33, – who stars in the upcoming season of 24 – took seven years before answering that last question, as evidenced by the Sept. 19 arrival of daughter Charlotte Grace. "Becoming a parent is the most selfless act, and you need to be at a point in your life where you can give up anything and everything for a child," Gellar says waiting before starting a family. "I don't know if you know how to that when you're in your 20s." Her husband concurs: "I'm so happy we didn't have kids in our 20s – I just didn't know a thing. You have so much more patience in your 30s, and I feel like I appreciate this so much more." Charlotte, according to her mom and dad, was well worth the wait. "Every day I look at her and I am in awe," says Gellar. Of course, the new mother knows what's coming next. "The minute you have a baby, everyone asks, 'When are you going to have another one?' " For more from the new parents, including how parenthood has changed them and what Charlotte's delivery was like, pick up the latest issue of PEOPLE, on newsstands now.
- Amanda has sex with David. “I was devastated when I read I had to do this,” Chrishell Stause shares with Soap Opera Weekly. “They were the hardest scenes I’ve ever had to play.”
- Which soap vet was asked back to AMC and strongly considered doing it … that is until she watched the ABC sudser for a full week and thought it was “sloppy, pathetic and drek?”
- Lucci Named Grand Marshal: Susan Lucci (Erica, AMC) can now add "Grand Marshal" to her list of titles when she does the honors at The Hollywood Christmas Parade/Live Positively Sponsored by Coca-Cola. "I am thrilled and honored to serve as the Grand Marshal of the 2009 Hollywood Christmas Parade," Lucci said in a statement. "I am so happy that this year's parade will be telecast for the first time ever as a two-hour primetime television event, spreading holiday cheer and happiness to Americans across the country. The Hollywood Christmas Parade is for children and families, both of whom are very important to me in my personal life. Soon ALL MY CHILDREN will be relocating from New York to Los Angeles in January 2010 where the show will be filmed in the years ahead. I'm looking forward to working in Los Angeles and enjoying the beautiful sunny weather in the Southland." The parade takes place on Nov. 29 in Hollywood and will be taped for broadcast on Dec. 10 and Dec. 24 on MyNetworkTV. Check local listings.
- ALL MY CHILDREN’s multitasker Cameron Mathison (Ryan) has yet another gig: Brighten Bay, a Cheer detergent advertising campaign in soap opera form. According to Reuters, Mathison will play Bay’s do-gooder, Dr. Dan. The campaign also includes a sweepstakes for a trip for two to Los Angeles. “Daytime dramas have long been a guilty pleasure in America,” Mathison says in a statement. “What I love about Brighten Bay is that it's a fun and clever campaign, but also — just like a real soap opera — it aims to connect with women and give them something to look forward to each day, helping to brighten up their routines.” Keep up with all the good, clean fun at www.brightenbay.com.
- Josh Duhamel Likes Meat on Fergie's Bones: Josh Duhamel loves his wife's figure no matter what shape she's in, says Fergie. The singer, who has a starring role in the upcoming movie musical Nine, about an Italian film director's life and loves, says her hubby didn't mind when she had to add a few extra pounds to her famously toned body. "When I came home from filming he was excited. He enjoys having both: the extra meat to grab when it's there and the tight stomach when that's there," she tells Cosmopolitan in its December issue. "He's never been critical." The interview was conducted before allegations surfaced that Duhamel, 36, was unfaithful to his wife of less than a year. But the couple, who through reps have both called the claims of infidelity "ridiculous," have put on a united front. The pair snuggled over dinner in Atlanta this week. In the interview, Fergie, 34, paints the picture of a marriage in which Duhamel would have little reason to stray. "You know, in Italy, Catholic boys are raised to believe that there are two types of women: the Madonna and the whore," says the sexy singer. "And me? I'm both." Up next for Fergie is a trip to Paris where she is expected to make a round of promotional appearances with her band the Black Eyed Peas next week.
- Josh & Fergie Have a Date Night in Atlanta: Josh Duhamel and wife Fergie, who are battling an allegation of infidelity, spent a cozy and affectionate night out together in Atlanta on Tuesday. The couple have denied claims made by stripper Nicole Forrester that she had a one night stand with Duhamel at the St. Regis Hotel on Oct. 9. Showing that they're still very much together, Duhamel and Fergie dined at Chops restaurant located next door to the St. Regis, where Forrester claims the tryst took place. Around 10 p.m., Fergie and Duhamel – who's in town filming Life As We Know It – walked into the restaurant. Over dinner of steak, lobster and a bottle of Chardonnay "they were snuggling up a little bit," according to Chops manager Kevin Brown. "They were sitting next to each other in a booth side by side and talking closely." According to Brown, "We offered them a discreet table [but] she said, 'I want to sit out where the action is.' " The two, who stayed at the restaurant for about an hour, were dressed casually: Duhamel wore jeans and a sweat shirt, while his wife donned a black leather jacket and tight gray jeans. Reps for both Fergie and Duhamel deny there's any truth to Forrester's claims. "This is not the first nor will it be the last time that a stripper was paid a large amount of money to sell a false story about a celebrity," says Duhamel's rep. "This story is absolutely ridiculous."
- AMC's Alicia Minshew's (Kendall) first child was due around Thanksgiving, but the baby apparently preferred an arrival timed closer to Halloween: The actress and hubby Richie Herschenfeld welcomed daughter Willow Lenora Herschenfeld — the baby's middle name honors Minshew's mother, Lenore — at 6:42 a.m. on November 4. The new addition weighed in at 5 lbs., 2 oz.
- Josh Duhamel Denies Stripper's Sex Claims: Josh Duhamel and wife Fergie are denying another round of allegations from an Atlanta stripper that she had a one-night stand with the actor.
"This is not the first nor will it be the last time that a stripper was paid a large amount of money to sell a false story about a celebrity," says Duhamel's rep. "This story is absolutely ridiculous." A rep for Fergie adds: "These allegations are nonsense." In her latest interview, Nicole Forrester says she had sex with Duhamel in an Atlanta hotel a week after he came into the Tattletale club, where she works as a dancer. Forrester says she has text messages and polygraph test to back her up. "We did hook up and had lots of sex and we had a really, really good time," Forrester told Atlanta radio station Q100's "Bert Show" on Monday. Forrester, who originally sold her story to the National Enquirer for more than $20,000, says she now regrets coming forward because her children, a daughter, 10, and son, 13, hadn't known she was a stripper. "My son's like: Mom are you doing anything different now? He doesn't want me to do this anymore. He doesn't want me to dance and I feel like I can't dance," she says. "I feel like people are just looking at me. It's just bad. It's just an uncomfortable situation with my children and all their friends know." But when the National Enquirer told her that it would run the story with or without her cooperation, she agreed to an interview and a polygraph, which she says she passed. "It's the truth," she says. "I'm not lying about anything. I have nothing to hide and he's just guilty as I am."

- ALL MY CHILDREN fans’ hopes for Bianca were dashed when portrayer Eden Riegel announced today that she isn't returning to AMC when the soap moves to Los Angeles. “Hey Guys, not-great news to share. Looks like it isn't going to work out for me going back to AMC when they move out to LA. I'm very sad...” she posted on Twitter.

- Forbes March has landed a role on Degrassi’s next untitled TV-movie. The Canadian actor travelled to Toronto to film for three days to play the role of George. During the filming, the Degrassi cast and crew were seriously impressed with the actor’s work, so don’t be too surprised if he returns to the series down the road. Expect the movie, which came on the heels of Degrassi’s explosive hit and critically acclaimed telefilm, Paradise City, to air sometime next year.
- Melrose's Colin Egglesfield: CW Felt Character Was Too Dark: Following the news of a cast shake-up on Melrose Place, Colin Egglesfield says he was dismissed from the CW reboot because his character was too dark.
"[Executive producers Todd Slavkin and Darren Swimmer] said it was a network decision, and they said the network thought Auggie was a little too dark with his alcoholism," Egglesfield told E! "They felt like in the landscape of Melrose they wanted to change the tone of the show." Egglesfield also revealed that his character won't be killed, but is rather just leaving. "It keeps the door open for, potentially, my character to come back, but who knows?" Despite the young actor's bad luck, he's remains optimistic about the situation. "I'm not spending too much time thinking about it, because it'll just drive you crazy, if you try to figure something out that you're never going to figure out," he said. "I'm just focusing on [other stuff]. I've already got a bunch of auditions lined up."
- Struggling CW drama Melrose Place has reportedly fired key actors Ashlee Simpson-Wentz and Colin Egglesfield, and will undergo a major renovation after their last episodes air in January. New characters, including the return of Heather Locklear as Amanda, will then be added to the cast in hopes of a ratings boost (Tuesday's new episode averaged 1.5 million total viewers).
- Leven Rambin (ex-Lily/Ava, ALL MY CHILDREN) has landed a recurring role on two hit ABC dramas, GREY'S ANATOMY and its spinoff, PRIVATE PRACTICE, and will begin airing later this year.
- ABC is reportedly tring to get Josh Duhamel (ex-Leo) for its anniversary week this January
- Rebecca Budig (Greenlee) is rumored to have earned $1,000,000 during her last year on AMC
- Ripa and husband to appear on `All My Children': Kelly Ripa and her husband, Mark Consuelos, will return to ABC's "All My Children" for the daytime soap opera's 40th anniversary. Brian Frons, president of ABC's daytime unit, made the announcement Friday. "All My Children" will celebrate its anniversary on Jan. 5, 2010. Ripa and Consuelos' episodes will air Jan. 4-5. It will be the first time either actor has appeared on "All My Children" since they left the show in 2002. She is now co-host of the morning talk show "Live With Regis and Kelly." Ripa says "Live With Regis and Kelly" will air behind-the-scenes footage next month of the couple's return to Pine Valley.
- Turco, Bostwick ready to scale NBC's "Mountain": Paige Turco and Barry Bostwick will star in "The Mountain," a two-hour movie for NBC. The project -- a "backdoor pilot" for a potential series from Canadian production company Muse Entertainment -- centers on Dana (Turco) a single mom with three kids who inherits a remote mountain cabin from a supposedly dead uncle. But when she heads off to the cabin, she discovers that her Uncle Henry (Bostwick) is very much alive, and they set out to keep an evil buyer from gaining access to the mountain that holds secrets and treasures. Also cast in the pilot, directed by Doug Barr, is Crawford Wilson as one of Dana's kids. Turco recently had a recurring role on FX's "Damages" and co-stars in the remake of "The Stepfather."
- Life Is Short for Past Life: Production has shut down on Fox's procedural crime drama Past Life. Seven episodes of the mid-season show had been filmed. The series that starred Kelli Giddish as a psychologist who uses past-life regression to solve crimes was supposed to get the post-American Idol time period on Tuesdays at 9 in the second half of the season. That seems unlikely now that the order has been cut to seven episodes from the original 12. Fox may be taking its cue from the lackluster ratings for another dark crime drama on the schedule, ABC's The Forgotten. The Tuesday 10 p.m. show has been fighting to stay ahead of NBC's The Jay Leno Show in the hour. Fox also has a full season of Glee on its schedule and appears to be leaning toward ordering another nine episodes of Lie To Me. That lessened the need for another hour show.
- Before ALL MY CHILDREN heads to the West Coast, you will have an opportunity to bid farewell to cast members. On Saturday, November 7, Walt Willey (Jack), Vincent Irizarry (David), Bobbie Eakes (Krystal) and Forbes March (ex-Scott) will meet fans the Ahepa Lodge Home in Largo, FL from 2-5 p.m. Make your reservations by Sunday, November 1. For more information, email: designers.image@hotmail.com
- Tamara Braun (ex-Carly, GH/ex-Ava, Days/ex-Reese, AMC) has booked a guest role on the series Three Rivers
- There is a Fire Charles Pratt petition online for those not happy with the current state of the show.
- Ray MacDonnell (Joe Martin) may still make occasional appearances as Joe, depending on storyline needs and actor availability.
- The Real Greenlee Returns... Again!: Budig backers, you’ve gotten your wish: A rep for ALL MY CHILDREN confirms that Rebecca Budig will return to the role of Greenlee later this year! Though the soap had no first airdate for the returning actress, she is likely to begin taping in New York before AMC moves to Los Angeles in December. Budig created the role in 1999 and left in 2005 before returning last year and leaving around the time Bianca and Reese got hitched. As for the presumed-dead Greens, we never saw her body, and Ryan ID’d her remains based solely on her one-of-a-kind engagement ring, so it was only a matter of time before Greenlee returned to Pine Valley, right? And it’s not exactly like AMC headwriter Charles Pratt Jr. has been able to hide his enthusiasm for bringing Ryan’s ex back to the canvas. “From the moment that Greenlee rode the motorcycle in her wedding dress off the cliff, as I said, this is not the end of the story,” he told In Depth a few months back. “This is the beginning of a story.”
- (From TV Guide Canada) Which AMC actor has made the cast thrilled with his decision not to move to L.A.? “He’s a pompous and arrogant jerk,” says a co-star. “We’re all thrilled he’s not making the move.” The actor is also reportedly responsible for getting James Scott and Julie Pinson fired from their AMC and Port Charles roles, respectively.
- Soap newbie Natalie Hall has been hired as AMC's new Colby, replacing Brianne Moncrief. Hall will begin taping in mid-October, before AMC's move to L.A., but no first airdate is available yet. Click here for Hall's imdb page.
- Which major star is worrying her castmates with her erratic, non-sensical behaviour? “We think she’s on drugs. Her skin is a dead giveaway. She’s increasingly irrational and forgetful. That, or she’s completely nuts,” the mole suggests.
- Kendall Out Too? (From TV Guide Canada): Never trust a major network. In its press release trumpeting which stars will be making the historic move to L.A. at the end of this year, Alicia Minshew’s name was on the statement as being on “maternity leave.” However, Suds has learned that ABC didn’t want to announce that she and Thorsten Kaye, who, as we previously reported, would not make the move, have quit the show together. A source close to Minshew states, “ABC isn’t taking no for answer! They suggested to Lish to have the baby first, then decide, like she can’t think straight. But Alicia wants out even though she plans on briefly returning to wrap up her storyline. Her husband just bought his third restaurant in New York City, and she doesn’t want to spend her baby’s first year on a plane.”
- Brianne Moncrief to Exit All My Children: Along with Beth Ehlers (Taylor) and Aiden Turner (Aidan), it's been confirmed that All My Children's Brianne Moncrief (Colby) will not be making the move to Los Angeles with the show next year. While there is no word on the actress's last airdate, we do know that AMC stops taping in New York City on December 11th. Moncrief has been on the show since May of 2008, when she replaced Ambyr Childers as Adam and Liza's troubled daughter.
- Beth Ehlers to Leave All My Children: Beth Ehlers, who's played Taylor Thompson on All My Children since July 2008, will be leaving the show before production heads to Los Angeles in December of this year.
Beth issued this statement on her departure: "After many conversations with AMC it was mutually decided that I would no longer play the role of Lt. Taylor Thompson and would not relocate my family to the West Coast. I was very proud to give a voice to Lt. Taylor Thompson and hope I conveyed the courage, sacrifice, and fortitude of the brave members of our military and their families. To my new friends and colleagues I met at All My Children and ABC during these past 18 months, I wish you much love and continued success. And lastly, a big hug to my fans! I'll see you soon!" ABC followed up by saying "Ms. Ehlers is a talented actress and we wish her well." Prior to joining AMC, Beth played Harley Cooper on Guiding Light from 1987-1993 and then from 1997-2008.
- BethAnn Bonner Joins All My Children: BethAnn Bonner, who many of you will recognize from her two-and-a-half year stint as Officer Talia Sahid on One Life to Live, is joining the cast of All My Children. She'll play a woman named Kat, who gets tangled up in Aidan, Kendall, and Zach's lives. When people use the word "tangled," that usually means trouble -- and in this case, it's no exception. Look for her to first air the week of November 2nd. No word yet on how her casting translates into AMC's upcoming move to Los Angeles. An official "Who's moving to L.A." list is forthcoming.
- Aidan Devane to Exit Pine Valley: Aiden Turner was given notice today that his character, Aidan Devane, will not be written past his current contract. From the official statement: “Mr. Turner’s departure is storyline dictated. Given AMC's upcoming move to Los Angeles, we wanted to give Mr. Turner advance notice so he could plan accordingly. Mr. Turner is a talented actor and we wish him well.”
- AMC tapes their last show at the NYC studio on Dec. 11
- 'All My Children' goes hi def in 2010: "All My Children" is getting a new look.
On the heels of news that "All My Children" is moving from its New York digs to shoot in Los Angeles is the announcement of a long-term deal with Broadcast Facilities, Inc. to use its Andrita Media Center's high-definition production facilities. "To be the new production facility for this iconic daytime television classic and to shoot it in HD is an honor," says Bill Tillson, BFI's President and Chief Operating Officer. "The Andrita Media Center takes great pride in becoming the new home of 'All My Children and we look forward to continuing our relationship with ABC which started with the shooting of 'General Hospital: Night Shift 2' at Andrita in 2008." The switch to HD will necessitate a move to using special hi-def makeup as well, if the show hasn't already started using that. It wouldn't do to expose sweet Bianca as having crater-ish pores, now would it? All kidding aside, the technical aspects of the move seem to be running smoothly. It's the casting ones that are still leaving us hanging -- namely the question of whether or not New Yorker Susan Lucci will uproot herself to stay with the soap. If she doesn't, it's up to the show to decide whether to replace the long-running character Erica Kane with another actress or to kill her off in a spectacular, dramatic death. There's not much time to deliberate. Relocation to Andrita begins in December, with production starting in January 2010. The first HD episodes will air the following month.
- Tamara Braun Lands on "Saving Grace": The Internet's been buzzing today with the news that soap fan favorite Tamara Braun is joining the cast of "Saving Grace" in the recurring role of Renee Ellen. "Saving Grace," which airs on TNT, stars Holly Hunter as a hard-partying police woman given a chance at redemption by a disheveled angel named Earl. Holly was nominated for an Emmy today for her work on the show.
Daytime Emmy nominee Tamara is perhaps most famous for her role as Carly Corinthos on "General Hospital." She was also Ava Vitali on "Days of our Lives" (for which she was Emmy-nominated) and most recently appeared as Bianca Montgomery's wife, Reese Williams, on "All My Children."

Facts
- Zach's Poem about Myrtle:
(Zach's voice) Now who will lead our carnival?
And who will make us stronger?
Who will mend our broken sleep when she is here no longer?
For who's part do we stand and bow?
What stories do we tell?
And will we memorize the day when great and greatness fell?
Say will this valley overcome, and will these shadows fade?
And will we lift our eyes to see the beauty that she made?
The disappearing last of her that leads to worlds unknown,
has left a path to softly tread when sadness wanders home.
I'll meet thee where the highland winds divide wild mountain tyne,

1979: Born to Pine Valley pillars Ruth and Joe. Ruth's advanced age caused some health worries, but Jake's birth was normal...no kidnappings or comas involved! 1990-1991: Joey married Emily Ann Sago.

- Erica Kane's Rap Sheet: What makes a star? In today's world, charisma, money and talent are only pieces of the puzzle. Trouble with the law is the benchmark for celebrity and if Erica Kane's rap sheet is any indication, she's at the top of the A-list. Erica is facing insider trading charges (just like Martha Stewart did), but she's no stranger to jail cells. Take a look back at her ever thickening file with the Pine Valley police department:
1977: Erica wanted Nick Davis for herself, but faced competition from the–as she saw it–gauche and inferior Claudette Montgomery. Naturally, Erica decided to frame Claudette for marijuana possession to get her out of the way. Too bad Nick turned the tables on Erica by planting the drugs on her instead. 1982: "At the pinnacle of my beauty," as Erica once put it, she faced murder charges. She had discovered her lover and boss, Kent Bogard, was having an affair with her sister, Silver Kane. Furious, Erica confronted Kent with a gun and it went off in a struggle. Kent was killed, but Silver claimed she witnessed Erica murder him in cold blood. Erica was arrested, but went on the run disguised as a nun. Later, it was revealed Silver wasn't Erica's sister—she was a con artist—so Erica was cleared of all charges. 1993: Erica was arrested for stabbing her husband Dimitri Marick. She wasn't intentionally homicidal, just a victim of her long lost daughter from hell, Kendall Hart. Kendall falsely accused Dimitri of raping her, sending Ms. Kane over the edge. A rape survivor herself, Erica flashed back to her own assault, saw Dimitri as her attacker and plunged a letter opener into his chest. To dig the knife in further (so to speak), Kendall perjured herself by denying any rape claim, making Erica's attack seem premeditated. Kendall's lies were exposed and Erica was acquitted—but she started opening mail the old fashioned way. 1997: Warning: No man cheats on Erica Kane without consequences! Dimitri found this out the hard way after he slept with his sister-in-law, Dr. Maria Grey, and she found herself pregnant. Everyone, including Erica, wrongly assumed the child was Dimitri's. Stranded with Maria, Erica delivered the baby and rushed it to the hospital, only to drive off a bridge (oops). Never one to let ideal circumstances pass by, Erica allowed the world to think the baby had died. Erica believed the child would never be accepted because of her scandalous conception, so she kept the baby for herself. A true trendsetter, Erica helped start the celebrity adoption craze when she told the world that Maria's little girl was Sonya, a Russian infant. Erica eventually realized her wrongs and confessed. She was sent to prison, but paroled months later. 1998: Erica found herself in the middle of a love triangle with Jack and Mike Roy, her presumed dead husband (sort of–the marriage was invalid). When Jack kidnapped Erica to shake some sense into her, she called Mike to rescue her. The resulting madness got the three arrested for disturbing the peace. 2000: Adam begged Erica to speak on his behalf in his custody hearing for his daughter, Colby. Despite the judge's protests for order, Erica demanded to be heard and was arrested for contempt of court. 2001: Erica's maternal instinct went into overdrive after the murder of Mary Frances "Frankie" Stone. Erica's daughter, Bianca, had nursed a longtime crush on Frankie. Since Frankie rejected Bianca, Erica assumed that Bianca must have murdered her. Ms. Kane confessed to the crime to divert suspicion away from Bianca, and even paid Kendall to return to Pine Valley as a negative character witness. When Bianca learned what was going on, she was able to clear up any suspicion, and the Kane women were cleared. 2002: Erica was on a roll: Two arrests in one year! Erica was arrested for perjury and obstructing justice in her efforts to make herself appear guilty of Frankie's murder. Months later, Erica broke into Kendall's hotel room to try to dig for evidence that Trey Kenyon burned down her posh home, Linden. She was arrested for breaking and entering, and spent Thanksgiving in prison. Opal Cortlandt, Myrtle Fargate and Bianca spent the holiday in the cell with her. 2008: Erica was arrested for insider trading, amidst claims that she unjustly used a stock tip from Adam Chandler. Samuel Woods, an attorney with eyes on a Senate seat, wants to make a high-profile example of Erica. But Erica Kane is nobody's victim. She's volunteered to go to prison to keep Samuel from getting the best of her. And just like Martha, she intends to come out a winner.

When the charges were dropped, Angie and Jesse faced a bigger obstacle: Her father, Les. 1983: The two eloped and Angie got pregnant. Fearing rejection, Angie kept the pregnancy secret and divorced Jesse. Angie gave birth to a boy just as Jesse found out about the pregnancy.

They named their boy Frankie. The couple remarried and went on the run. 1984: The lovebirds were found and Jesse was arrested. Despite this, the couple sued for custody of Frankie and won. To make ends meet, Jesse began singing with a rising star, Yvonne Caldwell. Yvonne had eyes for Jesse, while his half-brother Eugene longed for Angie. 1985: Eugene and Yvonne schemed to split up Angie and Jesse. They managed to dissolve the trust between them enough so the couple separated. Soon their manipulations were exposed and Angie and Jesse reunited. Angie prepared for medical school and was sexually harassed by her instructor, Dr. Voight. 1986: Angie reported Dr. Voight, but he managed to dodge any charges. With Jesse's help, they took the dirty doc down. 1987: Jesse discovered the head of a baby trafficking ring, "Mr. Big," was actually his father-in-law, Les! Jesse confronted Les, they struggled and Les accidentally plummeted to his death in time for Angie to witness all. Distraught, Angie separated from Jesse but when she thought Jesse had been killed, they reconciled. 1988: Jesse was shot in the line of duty. He died in Angie's arms. 2008: Jesse and Angie return to Pine Valley. Yes, Jesse's coming back, too. How? Their story starts on January 18.
- The Littlest Bird: The littlest bird peers over the nest and says, "What if I fall?" And Mama Bird says, "You'll fly when you're ready. You'll fly before long. You're little, my son, but you're oh so strong." He ruffles his feathers and puffs up his chest. Mama Bird says, "you can just do your best." Then the littlest bird looks up to the sky.

Here's the dialogue from the show:In our life there is a single color, as on an artist's palette, which provides the meaning in life and art. It is the color of love. Love is the emblem of eternity. It confounds all notion of time, effaces all memory of a beginning, all fear of an end. Separated lovers find countless mysterious ways of corresponding. By sending each other the song of birds, the scent of flowers, the laughter of children, the light of the sun, the sighing of the wind, and the gleam of the stars–all the beauties of creation. Love is never-ending, nor is it ever begging. A man is born. A woman is born for him. In the fight to find each other, the perfect moment awaits its destiny. When they meet they know. That's why love is never-ending, nor begging. It is always and forever.
