VIDEO: Guiding Light Stars Raise Breast Cancer Awareness
Some big stars of daytime were in Pittsburth Sunday, all in an effort to raise awareness for breast cancer. The event was held by the Young Women's Breast Cancer Foundation. Four stars of the CBS Daytime drama, GUIDING LIGHT, Frank Dicopoulos, Kim Zimmer, Bradley Cole and Robert Newman, were at the Embassy Suites Hotel in Coraopolis for the event on Sunday afternoon. "My grandmother had breast cancer and my mother-in-law had breast cancer and this is a disease that I want to hopefully personally eradicate," said Dicopoulos. "It's taken too many good people."

EASTENDERS - Rob Kazinsky wants to stay
EASTENDERS star Rob Kazinsky won't be killed off on the show, because it's "too predictable". Despite rumours his character Sean Slater is to meet a grizzly end, Rob has asked producers not to kill him off so he can one day return to Albert Square. He said: "I've asked for that not to happen because I've been blissfully happy here and would love the chance to come back. I think it's a bit predictable for an action man like Sean to be killed off, anyway.

REVIEW: General Hospital, Friday, April 4, 2008
Snark writes: "As soon as I read the spoilers, I knew: Guza's back. He had to be. It reeked of Guza. I can imagine what Guza thinking while he was away on strike. 'Those blue-haired old ladies are sitting there wringing their hands over Michael holding a gun? I'll show them!'"
