Tuc Watkins moves back to Llanview

Fans are used to David Vickers popping in and out of Llanview, but Tuc Watkins is ready to make things a bit more permanent. It was announced this week that Watkins will return to OLTL under contract. His popular character, David Vickers, was last seen in Llanview back in January.

Watkins will be pulling double duty as he is also set to appear off-Broadway in a production of White Lies.

Desperate Housewives, which Watkins also appears on, is currently on its Summer hiatus.

No details about the length of the contract have been revealed or his first airdate, but fans can expect to see Watkins back on daytime soon.

Michael Muhney exits Y&R

After months of speculation, Michael Muhney confirmed via Twitter that his role on daytime's No. 1 soap, Y&R, has come to an end. Muhney was signed to a one-year contract after taking over the role of the villainous Adam Wilson from Chris Engen back in June 2009.

Muhney may have been axed by Y&R, but his character, Adam, was last seen as a burnt corpse after an explosion. The character's death has kicked off a murder mystery set to play out over the next few months.

Turner's last dance

What a bummer! It seems like he just hit the dance floor, but AMC-alum Aiden Turner has already become the third casualty on ABC's Dancing With the Stars.

Ever the gentleman, the hunky Brit thanked his fans, remarking, "Without them, I probably would have gone home the first week."

Best of luck in whatever comes next for you, Aiden!

More Martsolf laughs

Adorable Eric Martsolf is sure making the Internet rounds. Check out the DAYS hunk below in "2 Hot Guys in the Shower." My only complaint is that the camera could have panned down just a bit. ;)

Mark Lawson's shout-out to Soaphunks.net!

God bless soap guru Michael Fairman for his latest interview with OLTL fireplug Mark Lawson! After gathering some interesting insights from Lawson regarding his current storyline and pre-nomination for the Daytime Emmys, Fairman saved the most important question of all for last: "Didn't you win the Soaphunks.net Award for Best Hunk?!"

Lawson's reaction to his three 2008 Soaphunks.net Award wins is adorable! And of course I selfishly love that he gave my site a shout-out by name.

Check out the interview here:



In addition, Fairman also grabbed a quick sit-down with yet another Llanview dreamboat, David Fumero. Unfortunately, no word from Fumero on what he thought about winning the very same Best Hunk award in 2001 & 2002! Hee hee...



Look out for plenty more video interviews from Michael Fairman at his site.
