Soap Opera Digest – August 05, 2019

Dear Readers,
I was recently in Los Angeles and
attended the baby shower for B&B’s
Darin Brooks (Wyatt) and Y&R’s
Kelly Kruger (ex-Mac). It was at a
beautiful house on a picture-perfect day, and the guests of
honor were clearly touched by the outpouring of love for
their impending arrival. Stars from both shows, and DAYS,
made the scene, and we have the exclusive pics on page 36.
Check them out.
On page 40, GH’s Tristan Rogers answers your burning
questions. DAYS’s Thaao Penghlis (Tony/ex-Andre) takes
a look back at his favorite moments in Salem on page 54.
In the special section beginning on page 59, we ask eight
stars in some of daytime’s biggest storylines what makes
them — and their alter egos — so hot. Who do you think
should be on the list for soaps’ hottest stars? Let us know at
[email protected].
In this week’s Roundup,
actors tell us which co-stars they
found intimidating at first. When
I covered ANOTHER WORLD,
Victoria Wyndham (ex-Rachel)
definitely made me nervous. She
didn’t do a lot of press, so our
interaction was limited, but I had
no reason to be concerned: She
was perfectly lovely any time we
had to chat. See what the stars
have to say on page 48.
