Evening News

Higley Out at DAYS?
DAYS OF OUR LIVES had no official comment, but Soap Opera Digest has learned that Higley is still in her Head Writing post. "It's business as usual," reports a setsider.

Graham from THE BACHELORETTE dating AMC's Stause
Graham Bunn, who was a heavy front runner for DeAnna’s affections on last season's THE BACHELORETTE is, at least temporarily, off the market. He has confirmed that he has a new love, actress Chrishell Stause, who plays Amanda Dillon on the soap opera ALL MY CHILDREN.

The couple supposedly met and dated occasionally before Graham ever went on the show. According to him they broke up in December before the show started taping. After the show was over “sparks flew” and they rekindled the romance.

According to the actress he is the perfect boyfriend. She doesn’t mention him clamming up at all and states that he is sweet and romantic. The couple seem to be falling very much in love, but after all…he is the one that had not had a relationship longer than 4 months before the show started. I guess we will just have to see if this lasts.

From Luke and Laura to Luke and Noah
During the early 1980s, the popular daytime drama, GENERAL HOSPITAL, featured favorite super-couple Luke and Laura. Whether a regular viewer of this sudsy drama or not, it seemed like anyone living in that decade was well aware of who the famous couple were.

Fans became so infatuated with Luke and Laura that in November 1981, when the duo finally wed, the episode was watched by nearly 30 million viewers. Today, the episode remains the highest-rated hour-long daytime drama in history.

Fast forward to the year 2008, and things have changed slightly. Today, there’s a new super-couple making its mark on the daytime scene — Luke and Noah of AS THE WORLD TURNS — portrayed by Van Hansis and Jake Silbermann respectively.

TOM CASIELLO: Support Groups
"I want to reiterate what I said last night on 'Buzzworthy.' At the end of the day, this isn't about who wrote what, or which actor or actress changed what. This is a much bigger issue about people putting themselves over what's good for the show. The in-fighting and the behind-the-scenes free-for-all isn't helping anything. It's hurting the show, and it's hurting the fans. If you're writing letters or making calls, remember what's really important here. The show, and just wanting a team that works together - not apart. Not about naming names, or pointing fingers and placing blame. That makes us no better than them. We all just want a great show, and a positive experience viewing it."

Earthquake Rocks LA!
An earthquake that measured about 5.8 on the Richter scale just hit LA and interrupted filming. At DAYS, the cast had to exit the building, which gave them a good opportunity to sing "Happy Birthday" to Bryan R. Dattilo (Lucas), who is celebrating today. Everything seems fine and they're already back to work. In an unusual twist, PASSIONS ended today’s show with — what else? — an earthquake.

Dates Set for ABC's 13th Annual Super Soap Weekend
ABC: "The 13th annual ABC-SOAPnet Super Soap Weekend will be held November 15-16 at Disney’s Hollywood Studios at Walt Disney World Resort in Lake Buena Vista, Fla. Colgate Total toothpaste will serve as the presenting sponsor of the event for the ninth consecutive year.
