In the months since exiting “General Hospital,” actress Kelly Monaco (ex-Sam McCall) has been relatively quiet on social media. That changed recently when she announced she would host a brand-new podcast series with long-time friend Shanna Moakler, titled “Bad Bunnies,” a reference to their time as Playboy playmates.

“Buckle up, Bunnies… Kelly Monaco & @shannamoakler are teaming up for a brand-new podcast, Bad Bunnies!” said Monaco in a post on Instagram announcing the new project. “Unfiltered. Untamed. Unapologetic. We’re bringing you Hollywood secrets, wild stories, pop culture tea, and real talk—nothing is off-limits!

“But before we drop our first episode, we want to hear from You! What topics do you want us to spill on? Reality TV chaos? Dating disasters? Hollywood drama? Let us know in the comments! Tag your besties & get ready—Bad Bunnies is coming Soon!”

Responding to Monaco’s “big announcement,” former co-star Kate Mansi (Kristina Davis) commented,...

General Hospital viewers may have noticed a new face on-screen.

After Josslyn (Eden McCoy) disappeared from Port Charles, she headed straight into Wsb training.

While Carly (Laura Wright) thinks her daughter is exploring Easter Island, Joss is busy taking tests to ensure she is ready to take the reins as a newly minted Wsb agent.

Earlier this week, viewers saw Brennan (Chris McKenna) receive test scores for Joss, and now, viewers will see Joss dealing with her handler, Vaughn (Bryce Durfee).

The previews suggest that Joss isn’t as easy to work with as Vaughn had hoped, which isn’t unexpected given she is her mother’s daughter.

Here’s what we know about Vaughn and what he will add to the Port Charles canvas.

Bryce Durfee cast as Vaughn on General Hospital

General Hospital viewers will be introduced to Vaughn on cliffhanger Friday when Joss returns on-screen after she...

“General Hospital” has cast actor and model Bryce Durfee in the recurring role of Vaughn, Josslyn’s (Eden McCoy) handler at the Wsb.

According to Soap Opera Digest, which first reported the news via an interview with the actor, Durfee makes his debut on the Friday, March 7 episode of the daytime drama series.

“I was anxious in the sense that I didn’t know what to expect because I knew the soap world moves fast. But as far as the performance, I had just finished another project and was feeling loose and ready to go, so I was really excited for that,” said Durfee of his first day on the job.

“That first day was just a whirlwind! I kind of felt like I got thrown into a washing machine and I got spit out an hour later [laughs],” he continued. “That’s kind of how I remember that first day.

Although rumors have swirled for months since her exit from “General Hospital,” where she played Sam McCall on the daytime drama series for 21 years, as of right now, there is no truth to social media rumblings that Kelly Monaco has landed a new soap gig, particularly at “Days of our Lives,” Soap Opera Network has confirmed.

According to unsubstantiated reports, Monaco was to start taping at the Peacock series in March but a rep for the show tells us there is no truth to that, stating adamantly, “Not true.”

Soap Opera Network first broke the news last August when we reported “General Hospital” had plans to “terminate” Monaco’s character off the show. The following month, Monaco taped her final episodes, with a video of her final day on set going viral in mid-November. In it, the actress could be seen holding back tears as she thanked the show’s...

Nickelodeon is breathing new life into the popular “Victorious” franchise with a comedy series that brings back Daniella Monet as Trina Vega – this time as a teacher at Hollywood Arts High School.

The multi-camera comedy, currently titled “Hollywood Arts,” marks the second spinoff from the original series that aired from 2010 to 2013. Monet will not only star in the show but also serve as an executive producer, bringing her extensive television experience to the project.

“I could not be happier” about the new venture, said Avan Jogia, one of Monet’s former co-stars, in an Instagram Stories post that hints at continued camaraderie among the original cast. While the network has not yet confirmed whether other original cast members will appear, early social media interactions suggest positive feelings about the project.

The original “Victorious” was a hit, earning two Emmy nominations for outstanding children’s program during its four-season run. The...

“Victorious” has another spinoff in the works, with Daniella Monet set to reprise her role as Trina Vega in a multi-cam Nickelodeon comedy with the working title “Hollywood Arts,” Variety has confirmed.

The series, which is in development and has not yet been greenlit, will follow Trina as she returns to her old stomping grounds to teach students at the fictional Los Angeles performing arts high school. It would mark the second spinoff of “Victorious,” following “Sam & Cat,” starring Jennette McCurdy and Ariana Grande.

Casting is underway for the spinoff, and it’s unclear whether any other “Victorious” stars — including Victoria Justice — will reprise their roles in “Hollywood Arts.”

Monet, who starred in all four seasons of “Victorious” as the older sister to Justice’s Tori Vega, will executive produce the spinoff alongside Jake Farrow (who was a writer-producer on “Victorious” and “Sam & Cat”) and Samantha Martin.

Dan Schneider,...

Exclusive: The Victorious universe is eying further expansion with a second spinoff series, Hollywood Arts (working title). Starring Daniella Monet, who will reprise her role as Trina Vega, the multi-camera comedy is in fast-track development at Nickelodeon, with early casting getting underway, sources tell Deadline.

Produced by Nickelodeon, Hollywood Arts follows Trina returning to her old stomping grounds as the newest teacher at Hollywood’s most elite performing arts school.

Monet serves as an executive producer alongside writers/executive producers Jake Farrow — who was a writer-producer on both Victorious and offshoot Sam & Cat and also voiced Robbie’s puppet Rex Powers on Victorious — and Samantha Martin (Nick’s Henry Danger and The Fairly OddParents: Fairly Odder).

Victorious creator Dan Schneider, who parted ways with Nickelodeon in 2018, has no involvement in the spinoff. His Nick tenure has been under scrutiny, including in the docuseries Quiet On Set whose producers he is suing for defamation.

In recent years, it’s been a popular trend to cast a well-known star as the host of a game show, especially a new one. Often, this has been seen as a way to garner good ratings and get people interested in the show. However, Fox First Run has recently announced the end of two of their star-studded game shows.

One Show Had Recently Seen The Launch Of A UK Version

Fox First Run serves as the Fox Corporation’s syndication branch. The division was founded back in 2019.

Recently, it was announced that Fox First Run wouldn’t be renewing a few of its show. Notably, this included two game shows that both had a well-known actor as its host: Pictionary and Person, Place or Thing.

According to The U.S. Sun, one of the two Monday to Friday game shows ending is Pictionary, which is hosted by actor Jerry O’Connell.

General Hospital (Gh) spoilers suggest that Jason Morgan (Steve Burton) could be gearing up to fake being a baby daddy, for the third time.

The soap loves to recycle storylines, so it looks like Jason will once again lay claim to a child that isn’t his. Perhaps the third time is the charm, right?

General Hospital Spoilers – The Soap Is Laying The Groundwork

Gh spoilers remind fans that Sasha Corbin (Sofia Mattsson) unexpectedly announced she was pregnant to the Quartermaines recently, and Jason immediately put two and two together that Michael Corinthos (Chad Duell) was the father.

Still in the midst of confronting her on this, Sasha’s baby kicked for the first time, and of course, Cody Bell (Josh Kelly) stumbled upon his cousin’s excitement (in the shadows), as Jason placed his hand on her stomach.

This led Cody to assume that Jason was the father of Sasha’s baby,...

Being one of the most prominent figures in pop and famous for popularizing R&b sensibilities in hip-hop artists in the entertainment industry, Drake has become the talk of the town for one too many reasons over the years. Be it for his iconic infamous rap feud with Kendrick Lamar or his unhesitant approach to everything, the singer never fails to steal the limelight.

That said, one of the reasons behind his gaining a place under the spotlight recently was his concerning physique. In a surprising turn of events of what has inevitably caught a lot of fans’ attention, the Canadian rapper-singer’s body going from being ripped to pretty much skinny is making everyone suspicious that he may have been on a drug to lose weight.

Still, as this storyline has opened the door to Michael’s eventual return, whether that be a recast or Duell reprising the role, fans can’t help but speculate on what may happen when he decides to come back to the land of Port Charles.

Did Apple Music Take Kendrick Lamar’s Side In Viral Fued With Drake? ( Photo Credit – Facebook; Instagram )

Apple Music has officially sided with Kendrick Lamar in his intensely heated feud with Drake. The streaming giant crowned Kendrick’s diss track Not Like Us as Global Song of the Year. The song secured the top spot on its year-end streaming chart.

Melissa Peterman On Benefits Of Reba McEntire Friendship

When it was announced that Melissa Peterman and Reba McEntire were reuniting for Happy’s Place, fans were thrilled. They remembered them as Reba Hart and Barbra Jean on the six-season sitcom aptly named Reba. It was a fun and quirky ensemble comedy with a message and a whole lot of heart. Though Barbra Jean was Reba’s husband’s mistress, she was both cheerful and oblivious. Therefore, she believed she and Reba were meant to be best friends and sisters. In reality, the two women became immensely close.

Reba McEntire is winning hearts and fans over with her new sitcom, Happy’s Place. She has a great ensemble, one that includes her boyfriend of four years, Rex Linn. Now, he is opening up about how he shows her some love while they film. Keep reading for more details.

Reba McEntire Gets Sweet Love From Happy’s Place Co-Star

It has been some time since Reba McEntire helmed her own sitcom. She has guest starred on a handful of shows including Baby Daddy and Last Man Standing with Tim Allen. Yet, it was Reba, which aired for six seasons that really got the country singer into the sitcom game. There, she played a single mother with three children whose husband had cheated on her while their teenage daughter revealed she was pregnant. It was a great ensemble comedy that still airs in syndication and on streamers to this day.

Days of Our Lives has seen frequent turnover with its cast and 2024 is no different, with several characters leaving the long-running soap opera. As one of the longest-running TV shows ever, Days of Our Lives has had hundreds of characters arrive and leave since 1965, when the show first premiered. From long-time performers like Bryan Dattilo to actors who only briefly appeared on Days of Our Lives, like Mila Kunis, and went on to have notable careers in movies and TV shows, the legendary soap opera takes all kinds of performers for decades or maybe just a short arc.

The series ostensibly follows the Brady and the Horton families; however, Days of Our Lives features many more characters from other families all with their own plots and schemes. Not every Days of Our Lives actor can become the longest-running soap opera actor in history, and there have been plenty of departures over the years.

In a carriage battle about pay TV’s future, one of the original cable channels became an unexpected flashpoint.

Freeform, the Disney-owned cable channel that caters to younger women, was dropped from Spectrum channel lineups as part of Disney’s landmark deal with Charter Communications. It was no small decision, with Freeform in some 74 million homes at the end of last year, and with Charter’s nearly 15 million cable TV households no longer having access.

“When we looked across the portfolio to try to identify where the greatest value in this deal was to us, we definitely made some trade-offs,” Disney Entertainment co-chairman Dana Walden told The Hollywood Reporter after the Spectrum deal was announced. She noted that channels like Freeform already served as a pipeline of programming for streaming services like Hulu.

And while the deal saw a number of other channels were dropped in the deal, the dropping of Freeform suggests that,...

Today in news that will totally make you smile (I hope!), I'm thrilled to be the one to remind you there's a new Muppets series coming to Disney+ -- one that takes a deep dive into the rockin' world of The Electric Mayhem Band, aka that band of Muppets that is a regular fixture in most Jim Henson properties. Cute, right? Needless to say, I'm ready for "The Muppets Mayhem"— and the trailer is a major reason why.

In the show's sneak peek, we get reacquainted with the band and find out they've made a mark on some of the world's most famous musicians, including Tommy Lee, Chris Stapleton, and Lil Nas X. But the trailer drops a bomb on us: the legendary group has never actually made a record together. This show chronicles what exactly happens on Mayhem's quest to finally produce an album, many years after the height of their music career.

Disney+ has announced the highly anticipated Original series “The Muppets Mayhem,” starring Lilly Singh, Tahj Mowry, Saara Chaudry and The Electric Mayhem Band, will premiere with all episodes on Wednesday, May 10.

Where there's any big character from an even bigger franchise, there are memes, and Indy is no exception. Although an avatar of the '80s, Indiana Jones is also proving himself as a man for the 2020s.

Memes celebrating (or mocking) Indy's standout personality, partly shaped through his adventures, are helping to introduce him to a whole new generation. Most of these lean on iconic scenes from the first three movies in the franchise, but there's always room for more.
