Victoria Rowell & Doug Davidson Remember Kristoff St. John on Steve Harvey Show

Longtime The Young and the Restless fan favorites Victoria Rowell (Drucilla) and Doug Davidson (Paul) joined talk-show host Steve Harvey on Tuesday to discuss the legacy of Kristoff St. John (Neil) and the hole his death left in the soap opera, and the world.

"His departing this earth comes to me in waves," Rowell told Harvey. "I have moments of reprieve and then I'm in disbelief because it seems impossible that such a big spirit would be gone."

She also addressed his fans directly, telling them, "Kristoff absolutely loved you," and noted how "Kristoff was the kind of person that if he was running through the airport, people would follow him right into the bathroom because they just thought they had it like that with him ... It was just beautiful to watch him interface with his fans."

Davidson said his most enduring memory of his friend was that "he was just so full of love ... In any circumstance, if you were having trouble dealing with anything, he was always very supportive and would be there for you."

Jeffrey Tambor, John Michael Higgins, Jennifer Coolidge and Fred Willard (John Forrester on B&B) are helping DirecTV revive its popular “Empty Cable Suit” commercials from 2008 for the cable provider’s latest ad campaign, “Cable Corp.”

Bradford Anderson excited for his latest return to General Hospital
Anderson is excited to be making his second return trip to GH this year as Spinelli — so much so that he didn't even need to know what was bringing the character back to town before accepting the show's invitation. "There really was no story pitched; it was just, ‘Wanna come back?' " he reports. "I said this when I finished up my arc earlier this year, and it's true: I love being there and any time they need me, if I'm available, I'll be there."

Game of Thrones coloring book is on the way
"Yes, I said 'coloring book,’” writes George R.R. Martin. "Not just for the kiddies either. No, it seems that of late adult coloring books have become quite the thing, so Bantam wanted us to do one too. And since I love seeing good fantasy art, I was of course thrilled by the idea.”

How to succeed in Shondaland
How to Get Away with Murder creator Pete Nowalk reveals how he climbed the ladder and learned at the feet of Shonda Rhimes.

As a newbie, Nowalk said the learning curve was tough—he likens getting the hang of TV writing to "learning a language. Of course, you're not going to be fluent right away." But he persevered, learning the tricks of the trade from Rhimes, who has greatly diversified network television with shows based on (and written and produced by) powerful women and other minorities, and who is a master of creating richly interwoven plots and the kind of final-scene drama that inevitably blows up on Twitter.

David Cronenberg: I turned down directing True Detective because "the script was bad”
“The heat is in TV,” says the acclaimed director. “Last year I was approached to direct the first episode of the second season of True Detective. I considered it but I thought that the script was bad, so I didn’t do it. In TV, the director is just a traffic cop, but on the other hand, it is work and there’s a lot of it.”

Susan Lucci Celebrates Mothers Day on 'Steve Harvey' May 5 (Video)

Steve Harvey is celebrating Mother's Day all week long (May 5-9) and kicking the week off with perhaps the most iconic daytime soap star of all time, Susan Lucci, All My Children Emmy Award-winner and star of Lifetime's Devious Maids. The episode will air on Monday, May 5.

Lucci will share her own memories of motherhood and what it’s like to be a famous grandmother of four! She reveals one of her favorite motherhood memories, recounting a time when she had come home from the Daytime Emmys (after not winning, again!) to find that her children had decorated the stairs with construction paper, adorned with hand written messages about how much they loved her. They also proclaimed her to be the best actress in the whole wide world!

Steve Harvey takes the opportunity to tell Lucci how big a fan he is of hers, letting her know that she got him through a lot of "unemployed days!" He also takes a moment to reflect on how much his late mother loved her. "You have no idea what you meant to my momma. It's like she would now know I had made it. I've had the President on, I've had the First Lady on, I've had Oprah on. That’s nice. Susan Lucci? Ahhhhhhhhh!"

Below are two clips from Monday's episode of Steve Harvey:
