NEWS & RUMORS

General Hospital rumors...The  rumors of Alicia Leigh Willis' (Courtney) possible exit in November -- when her contract expires -- and Kelly Monaco's (Sam) possible exit to Desperate Housewives continue to persist. Both actresses deny the splits, but we'll keep our eyes peeled (just in case). In a bizarre twist, the latest rumors have Jennifer Bransford (Carly) being recast by none-other-than Tamara Braun. Apparently, the rumor was true as it was posted on Bransford's own website. A short while later, the post was retracted. Hmm, the plot thickens...

How about a game of good news/bad news from Guiding Light...Good news -- Crystal Chappell (Olivia) has re-signed. The bad news -- Laura Wright (Cassie) hasn't and will soon exit.

Some sources claim that Jerry verDorn (Ross, Guiding Light) is the front runner for the re-casted role of One Life to Live's Clint Buchanan, slated to return later this fall.

And the crossovers from Bold & the Beautiful to Young & the Restless should continue into the fall, thanks to Sheila's (Kimberlin Brown) return to Y&R.
