BOLD & THE BEAUTIFUL: FINALLY!!!! I was promised for weeks and weeks that we'd see Taylor finally get some happiness and we're going to see her giggle, flirt and finally smile some in her own world. Don't count out Taylor and Jack yet, I'm also still told by my birdies that Brad has heard the outrage of dedicated Taylor fans and has something up his sleeve to make Taylor fans happy, just not too soon.......I'm also hearing a possible pregnancy storyline for Katie despite being on anti-rejection drugs. The writers seem to think Heather can carry it off and bring the show some Emmy winning performances.

GENERAL HOSPITAL: With all the hoopla of James Franco's "guest" appearance soon to be seen, what you may not know is that there is a clue about his profession in a photo with Maxie. Franco has a photo gallery event where he displays his work. So pay attention. When we first see him he will come off as quite charming and not psychotic as we will soon find out he is. Sam will play a huge part in his story as will Jason. But we must be patient, as November comes to a close like all sweep months the story will start to turn on the heat. All you Jasam fans you will not be disappointed expect Jasam to have a very romantic Christmas Eve, and a very dangerous New Years Eve......Those rumors are getting louder and louder for a Laura return. Might we be seeing her return after the first of the year?....

ONE LIFE TO LIVE: As you watch the show in the coming months pay attention to many different location shoots. One coming next month will be centered around a bridge and a hostage situation. It is being said that Danielle refuses to believe that Ross was responsible for attacking Tea and called the cops on Todd and Tea claiming they were trying to kidnap her,  eventually Todd learns that Danielle is his daughter.....Is Mitch Laurence the evil of all evil or what? Gotta love Roscoe Born in this role. No one else could play it as well. Don't expect Mitch to leave Llanview anytime soon as February sweeps are being written which will be packed with many showdowns. How about having Tina return to Llanview?  I'd love to see these two acting together again!!!.....If sources are correct and I pray they are,  look for Stacy's alarming ending come next year......Now I ask you how could Natalie be Mitch's wife when he married Dorian after? Could Dorian & Mitch still be legally married? Now this would make for great storytelling!!!.....Rumor has it another surprise return is in the works.

YOUNG & THE RESTLESS: I am being told that Phillip will be heading back to Australia at the end of the month. The actor was quoted as saying he thinks this is the end of the road for Phillip. So what was the point of bringing back Phillip, writing a absurd story to explain his return from the dead if after a few weeks they back burnered the character and now are writing him off? Did TPTB get cold feet writing a gay story?.....Eric Braden and Melody Thomas Scott have returned back on the set. They have all ready begun taping and should start appearing around Christmas.

DAYS OF OUR LIVES: A few story hints overheard at the Day of Days event last weekend: Bill and Susan Hayes (Doug and Julie) have a new book in the works, a historical novel that deals with the theater..... A significant event occurs right around the first of the year but Soaptown has been sworn to secrecy so we can't breathe a word of what it is. I can tell you that Maggie is a part of it......A possible visit by Steve and Kayla was alluded to during the event weekend but nothing etched in stone.
