Can it be true?  General Hospital's Kassie dePaiva  (Blair -- hehe, it's so fun now saying that Blair is part of General Hospital), has just tweeted congrats to David Gregory (ex Ford, One Life to Live) who has landed a new gig on Gossip Girl!  "GO BE A STAR DAVID!!!!! I'm proud of you! #DavidGregory To GOSSIP GIRL."  We are, too!  Speaking of Gossip Girl, did you guys know that the producer of Gossip Girl used to work for me on Law & Order!  Small world.

Kim Zimmer (ex Reva, Guiding Light; ex Echo, One Life to Live) is starring in a play in Connecticut.  It's called "Odysseus D.O.A." and runs from February 23 through March 24 at the Nafe Katter Theatre, Storrs Campus, University of Connecticut!

Bold and the Beautiful fans you are in for a treat and some new intrigue. TV Guide is reporting that Fan fave Joanna Johnson is returning to the role of Karen Spencer this Spring.  But she's not coming alone. She's got a daughter, Caroline, who is a young fashion student who will apply for a job at Forrester Creations. So who is Caroline's daddy?  We hear it's NOT Ridge. Caroline is played by newcomer Linsey Godfrey.  Both she and Johnson make their first appearance in the LA fashion world on Friday, March 27th.

She's back!  At least that is what SOD is reporting.  We speak of Robin Mattson who is on her way back to General Hospital as Heather Webber, Steve's mom.  Mattson has played Heather Webber on and off since the early 1980s.  Watch for her to hit Port Charles in the early Spring.
