Dear Readers,
There are a lot of familiar
faces back on daytime and I
couldn’t be happier about it. On
the DAYS front, Thaao Penghlis
makes his Salem reappearance this week, reprising
the role of presumed-dead Tony DiMera. On page
36, the actor talks to Janet Di Lauro about how his
alter ego’s latest resurrection came about. Over on
Y&R, DYNASTY and SANTA BARBARA alum
Gordon Thomson is popping in to play a new role
connected to Chelsea and Anita. Check out page 4
for more. Tristan Rogers is firmly entrenched back
in Port Charles, and weighs in about his come
- back on page 5. What soap vet would you like to
see return? Let us know at SODsound@soapopera
digest.com.
Newcomer Sean Dominic is settling into his role
as Y&R’s Nate Hastings. The actor traces his path to
Genoa City on page 40 in a chat with Devin Owens.
I’m a big fan of the programming on BRAVO, and
am a regular viewer of WATCH WHAT HAPPENS
LIVE WITH ANDY COHEN. In honor of the
show’s 10th anniversary, we take a look at nine soap
alums who have been guests on page 46. Do you
consider yourself a soap trivia expert? Test your
soap smarts with our quizzes, beginning on page 59.
And, in the Roundup on page 48, stars tell us what
other celebrities they’ve been mistaken for.
