General Hospital predictions suspect Anna Devane might be ready for a new romance to help her heal from her recent heartbreak on the ABC soap opera.

General Hospital: Anna Devane Single

Not long ago on Gh, Anna Devane’s romance with Valentin Cassadine went up in flames because of his lies. They were both traumatized when she accidentally shot his daughter, Charlotte Cassadine. She didn’t know Charlotte was stalking her.

In the pleasantly amusing “Praise This,” Chloe Bailey is the self professed nonreligious Sam, a musical artist in the making who finds her niche in Atlanta’s competitive gospel youth choir scene. Director Tina Gordon crafts a musical that’s carried through by a charming cast and highly entertaining ensemble performances. Streaming April 7 on Peacock, “Praise This” adds a mostly delightful entry to the genre, even if it doesn’t offer a unique take. More successfully it acts as a winning introductory calling card to the acting and musical talents of its rising star, the slightly-older sister of upcoming “The Little Mermaid” actor Halle Bailey and one-half of the sibling R&b duo Chloe x Halle.

The story starts with Sam forced to leave Los Angeles by her dad because of some rebellious behavior. He entrusts her care to her aunt and uncle (Kendrick Cross and Janora McDuffie), but the...

Praise This is the latest project from Will Packer’s Will Packer Productions and Tim Story’s The Story Company. Directed and co-written by Tina Gordon, this original musical comedy follows a struggling Praise Team that finds its shining light of hope in the wayward wannabe pop star Sam, played by real-life singer Chloe Bailey. Faith and a coming-of-age story come together in a heartwarming, sometimes funny but underwhelming musical comedy that arrives on Peacock in time for Easter.

After acting up and getting arrested in LA, Sam, an aspiring singer and music producer, gets sent to live with her Uncle Larry (Kendrick Cross) in Atlanta.

Exclusive: Cynthia Bailey (The Real Housewives of Atlanta) and Reginae Carter (Growing Up Hip Hop: Atlanta) have joined the Season 2 cast of AllBlk‘s horror anthology series Terror Lake Drive in recurring roles. The 7 episode new season premieres in June.

Bailey will portray the character Rose, a down on her luck single mom who resides in the ominous Freeman Lake Apartments. A product of the foster care system, Rose, a strong and resilient woman, fights to keep her son on the straight and narrow.

Carter booked the role of Keisha, a fiery activist and key member of the Bfm (Black Face Movement) and best friend to Bfm’s Queen and subsequent leader Nefertiti (Jennifer Sears), who along with the group’s other members, reside in Freeman Lakes. When the organization is hit with an unexpected tragedy, Keisha displays the ultimate loyalty as the movement faces an uphill battle amidst strong opposition.

Fox announced that lawyer, journalist and former “The View” co-host Star Jones has been appointed judge of the first-run syndicated series “Divorce Court,” starting in September.

As television’s longest running court show, “Divorce Court” dates back to the late 1950’s, when actors used to reenact actual divorce proceedings. Today, the program features real people and real cases — ranging from divorce court proceedings to other domestic disputes.

Judge Faith Jenkins will continue through the end of Season 23 and Jones will join for Season 24. Jones, a former assistant district attorney in New York and former legal correspondent on NBC’s “Today Show,” “Nightly News” and more, said that she will “offer the parties before ‘Divorce Court,’ as well as viewers, a no-nonsense approach to the law and a decision driven by my proven legal expertise, compassion and empathy, personal experiences and hard-earned common sense.”

Season 2, titled Terror Lake Drive: Single Black Female, takes place two years after the chain of events that haunted the Freeman Lake Apartments in the first season. The inaugural installment followed a single mother from Baltimore who relocates to Atlanta in an attempt to escape her troubled past and starred Shannon Kane, Malik Yoba, Donielle T.

We Love Soaps recently spoke with Ambitions star Kendrick Cross about his role as good guy attorney Titus Hughes. We shared some laughs about our desire to see Titus take down Damian Collins (Alexander Mulzac) with a good right hook. Cross said he had moments of wanting the same thing.

"Let me hit him!" Cross once joked to Ambitions creator Jamey Giddens.

Could it happen tonight? We're not sure but Cross teased that it's a can't miss episode.

"It's a really big episode for Titus," he says. "You will see a turning point. Damian's tactics are working and we may see Titus get fed up with it.

Nova was having one the best days she’s had in months on Queen Sugar Season 4 Episode 7.

Many fans had been hoping for Calvin’s return. He was one of Nova’s most intense love interests, and one of the most complicated.

His reemergence certainly put a smile on Nova’s face and a hopeful spark in her eyes that hasn’t been there in a long time.

Nova didn't look like that with Octavia, nor with Chantal, not with Remy, or even Robert.

Nova continued to dive into dark corners and share them with the world on Queen Sugar Season 4 Episode 4 all while expecting her family would magically come to terms with it and forgive her.

Nova doesn't seem to understand the damage she's done and what the continued consequences of her book might be in the future.

But it might be starting to sink in that her family isn't just going to wake up one morning and tell her everything is all right, at least not any time soon.

And this new story about Ernest isn't going to help.

Admittedly, at least this one is sort of Nova's story. It's about what she witnessed as a child.
