In a move that absolutely no one saw coming this early in the show’s run, Maryland’s favorite resident firefighter, Derek Baldwin, has officially met his maker.

In the world of daytime television, loyalty is a fickle beast, but the bond between fans and their favorite icons usually remains unshakable. That is why the recent news that Lauren Koslow is replacing Jess Walton as the legendary Jill Abbott on The Young and the Restless has sent the soap community into a tailspin.

No one is having a normal week. That much is clear. General Hospital

This week on Beyond The Gates, the show was preempted for two days, Anita and Leslie exchanged words, Ashley and Grayson whispered their way through more nothing, and Lia reminded everyone that she can be cold-blooded when the moment calls for it.

Pluto TV Canada has launched a dedicated 24/7 All My Children channel.
