And what happens next? Plus, we'll take a look at the Daytime Emmy Nominations to talk who got a nod, who got snubbed and more!

THE BOLD & THE BEAUTIFUL’s Rome Flynn stunned everyone by announcing on social media that he'd be leaving the role of Zende....

But more often than not, twisting past events to fit current needs will lead viewers to develop a hate-on for a story that’s hard to shake. Sometimes, beloved characters arise out of a questionable rewriting of history, ala GENERAL HOSPITAL’s Ethan,...

Careful where you walk, and make sure to look up. Because all around the daytime dial, there are shoes, suspended up in the air, just waiting to drop on the unsuspecting folks below.
