Three years separate sisters Vanessa (Eden, Y&R) and Laura Marano, and they don’t look remarkably alike. Still, if you didn’t know better, it would be easy to mistake them for twins.
They complete each other’s sentences. They talk zealously about each other’s work. They share equally high ambitions.
The Agoura Hills sisters are passionately pursuing the craft of acting that they have loved and studied for as long as they can remember.

Historic Wedding on ALL MY CHILDRENBrides.com went on set to watch the taping of Bianca and Reese's wedding, which is scheduled to air on Feb. 16., to learn all the ceremony details. It's a winter wedding, so the floral decorations flanking the aisle were huge, standing cascades of white silk flowers. The brides carried identical red bouquets.

A Soap Opera’s Sex Is All for a Good Cause
A soap-opera style film shot this month is not intended for entertainment — it’s part of a research project designed to change attitudes about safe sex among young women. And the finished product will be distributed via cellphone videos.
“The soap-opera format provides an opportunity to identify with the heroine and make more-powerful choices after they see her make more-powerful choices,” said Dr. Rachel Jones, who created the project.
Using entertainment to spread public health messages is not new. A pioneer in the field was Miguel Sabido, who created soap operas with messages about safe sex, family planning and education in Mexico in the 1970s.
Univision Sets 'Webnovela'
Univision Communications and programming partner and supplier Televisa may have settled their differences over royalty payments, but Univision has wasted no time in securing non-Televisa content for several of its media properties.
The latest is an unprecedented partnership with giant TV content producer Endemol and Amistad Productions to produce VIDAS CRUZADAS (Crossed Lives), an online telenovela (or Webnovela) scheduled to premiere in the second quarter on Univision.com.
Univision Online, which earlier this year was renamed Univision Interactive Media, is now under the helm of former AOL vice president Kevin Conroy, who took over the division Jan. 12.
The 15-episode Webnovela, still in pre-production, marks Univision's second incursion in the genre. (The first was the 2007 MI ADORADA MALENA, featuring Puerto Rican model Cynthia OlavarrÃa, which was developed with Unilever.)
Goodbye to all that: DAYS OF OUR LIVES dumps John and MarlenaEntertainment Weekly's Nicholas Fonseca writes: "DAYS' sendoff for the pair was a rush job, a pathetic train wreck that all but wrapped up a year-long storyline in about 20 minutes, but I can’t say I was surprised. The series has always treated its departing cast members with astonishing flippancy, and we longtime fans have come to expect this sort of masochistic abuse each and every time."
This week's LA Canyon "Gold Standards"
Tommy Garrett writes: "This week’s soap gold standards were plentiful. Having to choose between them was really tough. But always trying to be fair, I narrowed it down to three soaps: THE BOLD AND THE BEAUTIFUL, AS THE WORLD TURNS and GENERAL HOSPITAL."
